Chapter 44: Terror of the dagger

Anastasia softly gulped. 

She walked to where Princess Emily was and offered a deep bow before pointing at the palace. Princess Emily asked, "What is it, Anna? Are we going inside?" 

Anastasia shook her head before pointing at herself and then at the palace. Prince Aiden helped by saying, "I think she needs to go inside for something?" She quickly nodded. 

"Alright. Bring back my coat when you return. I would like to sit here and relax a little bit longer." Princess Emily smiled and saw her maid disappear into the palace. 

Inside the palace, Anastasia reached the corridor where Dante hadn't moved since the last time she had seen him. Walking to where he was, she bowed. 

"You wanted to see me, Prince Dante?" Anastasia asked with her eyes fixed on his black shoes.
