Chapter 82
That afternoon, Anastasia walked inside the library. The moment she stepped inside, she was greeted by the musty scent of books.
As she walked through the aisles, searching for a book, a red-covered volume caught her attention. Grabbing the book from the shelf, she walked to the armchair and sat down.
She spent the rest of the day reading books, sipping tea, and eating biscuits. The book she read included diaries and records of people. She read through the diary of a former princess of the kingdom, and her cheeks heated when she read through the pages. The young woman wrote in detail about her experiences with men, describing the feelings she had when she was with them.
Finishing the diary, Anastasia moved to the next book. She remembered her childhood and how she lost the privilege to read as she came from a poor background.
Her mother had taught her to read and write at a young age.
