34 A body in the water..

I asked Amelie to distract my guard and I wrapped Nina's body on my bedsheet. Later that evening, my servant and I threw her on the water..

" This would look like an accident.. as if she slipped and drowned.. or maybe she decided to end her life.." I told myself.

It was a tough decision to involve Amelie on this event but I needed to make a gamble. If she decided to betray me, no one would believe her. It would be her words versus my words.. And in reality, a servant's voice meant nothing in a world of money and privileged.. I could easily deny anything.

" If you tell anyone about this, I will tell my Uncle Willly who happened to be your Kaiser to punish everyone in your family." I warned her.,

" You have my word and my loyalty. My lips are sealed my lady." She responded.

I went to bed that evening with some recollections of the number of times I saw Nina inside the palace.

She was a bit older than me.. the same age as my Tatiana. She used to come with her dreadful father, Rasputin. Mama gave her and her family some valuable jewels and golds when their father was killed so they could get out of Russia safely and start a new life abroad..

Who would have thought that in less than a year or so, we were the one who would not get out on time..

The next morning, I was awoken by my brother. He sat on my bed and I gave him a warm smile..

" It's still too early for breakfast my precious boy.. Let your poor sister sleep some more.." I whispered.

" They found a body on the sea.. A girl.. " He screamed.
