Staying Apart

The next morning, Anastasia woke up feeling a little lighter.

She had stayed up until midnight while chatting with Tilla. She had stayed apart from Tilla just for a week, but she felt as though it had been a lifetime. So, talking with her brought back solace to her heart.

They talked about their life in Orsenia, and how everything took a drastic turn after they came to Sorvando. And they promised to be there for each other in this land full of monsters.

Anastasia turned to look at the side of the bed that Tilla had used. But the side was empty.

“Tilla? Where are you?” Anastasia called for her handmaid.

Now that Tilla had decided to return back to work, Anastasia expected Tilla to be by her side at all times.

“I’m preparing a bath for you.” Anastasia heard Tilla’s voice coming from the bathroom.

Anastasia got up from the bed and headed for the bathroom.

Tilla helped the Queen take her bath. While Martha and Holly took charge of dressing her and doing her hair.
