Chapter 107
Even with her new body, Anastasia recognized her old friend immediately. She had flashbacks to the woman she saw earlier with red hair and green eyes—it was Madeline.
As she approached, a small smile tipped onto Madeline's face. "Alora."
Madeline reached out, wrapping her arms around Anastasia, and the two embraced.
"Did Nerina bring you back to life too?" Anastasia whispered.
"Yes, she did," Madeline nodded. "But you… you don't seem quite yourself."
"I am fine," Anastasia said, pulling back. "I go by Anastasia now."
"May I call you Ana?"
"Yes," Anastasia nodded. "This is my husband, King Cassius."
"Husband?" Madeline asked. "You have been married, just as you wished in your past life."
"What does Nerina truly hope to gain by taking me?" Anastasia whispered.
"Nerina has a list of things she plans to achieve through you," Madeline said. "Even your mother and sister are present."
