Marcella abruptly retreated her grip on Tilla’s neck and took a few steps away from Tilla when she saw the Queen glaring at her with eyes full of fury.
Tilla, on the other hand, instantly heaved a deep breath and collapsed to the ground. She immediately held her neck and began coughing to the point where she teared up. Though Marcella wasn’t grabbing her neck anymore, the immense pain was still there.
“What were you doing to her?” Anastasia growled in rage once she slowed down after reaching in front of Marcella and Tilla.
Marcella didn’t utter a word. Since she was at fault here, and since she was already caught, Marcella could only lower her head in shame.
“Don’t you dare run away from here! I will deal with you in a while.” Anastasia clenched her teeth while giving a death glare to Marcella, and then pushed her legs to take a few more steps towards Tilla. Her heart ached upon seeing the pitiable state of her dear friend.
