What does Esther 1:12 mean?

But Queen Vashti refused to come, even though the king's command was delivered by the eunuchs. The king was furious, and his anger burned inside him. Esther 1:12 - Modern Text Bible

(Vashti refuses the king's order, which was a bold move in that culture. Xerxes is humiliated and becomes extremely angry.)
