Anastasia wanted go after Liam but as soon as she entered the hall again she was caught in something very unexpected.
"This is Olivia, princess of the Moon kingdom. Tiana, daughter of the chief of the southern provinces of Solis. And this is Rose, princess of the kingdom of Florence. And girls meet Anastasia, our future queen" the queen said as she introduced Anastasia to the other ladies in the ballroom.
Anastasia was calm and composed while her so called mother, or more accurately mother-in-law to be, introduced the young ladies as each one had a painful pretend smile except for the last one, until they heard the last few words the queen uttered.
All the four young ladies looked at the queen like she had grown two horns on her head. How could she announce a sensitive topic as such so casually like it didn't matter at all?
