Queen Anastasia was a woman of many talents. However, hitting someone was not one of them. From what I knew about her, she was a daughter born to a highly well established minister who was also a merchant so she had the finest upbringing, money, and status goodbye. One can say that one of the talents she was not taught were how to hit someone.
Her hitting me consisted of slapping me, trying to attempt a punch, but apparently, that must have hurt her too much because she resorted to kicking me.
That was all.
It was not like that did not hurt me, but it was far better than what I had imagined.
She tsked and took a step back before holding her hand. "What a disgrace! For a princess, you have such thick skin!"
Her beating did hurt which is why I did not say anything to her. She had hit my chest a couple of times with her feet. The kicks were powerful, especially with the thick shoes she had been wearing.
