Kristina's response (translated by Arckenholtz into French from Swedish):

Comment voulez-vous que je reste ici, où peu auparavant j'ai régné en Souveraine, & où je verrois un autre avoir tout le pouvoir en main?

English translation (my own):

How do you want me to stay here, where I reigned as sovereign shortly before, and where I would see another having all the power in his hand?

Above: Kristina.
