Capítulo 49: Last person in the palace

In Princess Emily's bedroom, Anastasia helped the lady get into her bed and pulled the blanket over her. Most of the candlelights had been blown out, except for the two stands next to the bedside and one placed on the table. 

Anastasia was about to leave when Princess Emily asked, "Anna, will you stay the night with me? You can take the couch," a slight longing appeared in her eyes. 

The only place the servants were allowed to sleep in the presence of  royal family members, on the inner side of the palace, was on the ground. For the princess to offer the maid her couch came from the goodness of her heart. 

Even if Princess Emily had asked Anastasia to sleep on the bed, Anastasia would never cross that line, knowing where they stood. The princess's maids had fallen into her kindness and had lost their lives more than once before.
