This Can't End Well

When the woman knelt down at Lissar's feet I was a little worried. I thought that maybe someone had recognized her as the princess or thought she was her mother. I had a flash back of the women falling at the queens feet close to the beginning of the novel. There are so many events that spark Lissar's memory of her former life and I keep thinking that it's going to be the moment that it all comes back to her. I do not know how someone can repress a memory that well. I know that this is a fairytale and the Moonlady gave her the ability to surpress the memory as a gift but this happens can happen in the real world as well. I do not understand how this can happen though. I googled repressed memory and found out that some psychologists do not believe that people can repress there memories. I do believe that they exist but I also know that through hypnosis false repressed memories can be brought up and made to believe. I just hope that Lissar never remembers what happened to her. I know that stories do not always have the "lived happily ever after" ending but I just do not want to see her go through that. I am really attached to the character we are reading about, sadly. I just don't see how this story can have resolution with her memory returning. I know that Prof. Hager said the king will get what is coming to him in the end but that does not change what happen to Lissar and she will never forget it. You can not repress a memory twice... well corection cause Lissar did, but she can't conveniently repress it a third time. I just do not see this story ending well at this time. But then again, it can't have a worse ending than Donkeyskin.
