Argh! Alice, that is not how you effectively stab someone! Swing the blade *up* so it goes between the ribs- striking down it can just slide down the ribs.
How sure are you that our Queen even *has* ribs? Seeing that she probably still retains her octopoid monstrosity nature and is in all likelihood only wearing the outward guise of a (mostly) human female.
Default body plan in the context of “you are what you eat”. But sure: her alien biology may be a problem… her hearts may be in the feet for all we know.
For mammals, yes, Archosaurs, nuance, you’re better stabbing from the side and down because they have abdominal bones whose names I don’t know. For stabbing her: yeah, your guess is as good as mine if she follows either of these or has her own lovecraftian shit happening.
Remember “The way to a reptiloid’s heart is through its stomach.” “Your thumb on the blade and strike upwards.” “Through the eye or cut the big cables.” That young lady’s education has been neglected
That a girl! Now, while’s writhing in pain, possibly dying of a punctured heart or lung, RUN FOR IT! And by that, I mean find the front door and GET OUT OF THERE!
I find her lack of blood flow disturbing. With such a blow, one would expect at least *some* blood to be splattering…
This makes our Queen look like she’s made of rubber or foam. Perhaps that’s part of the nature of her “becoming what she eats”? Or perhaps her real nature hasn’t changed at all, and she remains in her original essence of a rubbery octopoid monstrosity, only with a more “human” outward form?
The delivery man, or in this case knife, did so well that there wasn’t even any blood shed. Certainly commendable for a delivery service historically known to be prone to injury and other such mishaps.

Slay The Princess hasn’t been teaching proper technique this entire time?
I mean, from how deep that blade went I think it worked out for her
Hopefully by the time she stabs the rest of the lizardmen, she’ll have improved her technique.
That’s a good point, Leela. But you have to remember, she’s at best, trained at sport archery.
Exactly my thoughts. She has character but lacks knife fighting experience.

English girls of that era were generally home-schooled… so we have to blame her mother in this case.

oops, that should be “while she’s writhing”. My bad.
Yeah! She’ll just have whip out her trusty Underworld Labyrinth Map!

Of course.
O.K., the fans have asked and the protagonist has delivered. Violence has been delivered!

Let me guess, it does nothing and she just heals.
Are you a time traveler? Not that it’d make narrative sense if the big bad gets taken out this early.
