Capítulo 14: Ten Folds

Anastasia suddenly felt weak in her knees. ‘What is she trying to say? Is she hinting that she is going to kill me in this ball? Or is she going to kill me right now?’

That monstrous woman stretched her hands again, this time, aiming for Anastasia’s cheek.

Anastasia’s heart was beating so fast that she felt like she was going to pass out on the spot. ‘Caspian!’ She wanted to scream and call for help but she couldn’t even move her lips, leave alone make an audible sound.

“Your Highness, may I have a dance with you?” Anastasia heard a familiar sound from her side just when she thought that she was going to get bitten to death by that woman.

Without thinking for another millisecond, Anastasia turned to her side and took the hand that was being offered to her, “Zenon! Yes, why not.”

Zenon glared at those two women who were trying to intimidate the Princess. If looks could kill, then those women would have dropped dead by now.
