Snakes in the bushes

Anastasia had just finished tying the other two ends of her handkerchief together when she heard Prince Dante's question. Even though most people weren't aware of her relationship with her sister, the first prince was the only royal who knew of it, and she turned to meet his gaze on her. 

"After serving Princess Emily, I went to her room to tidy it…" Anastasia answered him, because that was where she had gone. 

"And," Dante pressed the maid. 

Knowing the maid was in a delicate state right now made it easier to confirm a few things. They had both lost one of their family members, and he wasn't planning to rest until he found out who was behind the deaths.
