Anastasia had just returned from the chapel when she received news that she needed to take provisions to the prince and the army in the North.
"Your Majesty," Anastasia said, finding the situation strange. After all, sending provisions did not require a member of the royal family to go. Moreover, it was war zone and there was no reason for her to take that risk.
Queen Mary saw the doubt in her gaze and handed her a small box.
"I will tell you the truth. This morning, we discovered that His Majesty is not sick, he has been poisoned," the queen said. Anastasia was shocked to hear this news. How could the king be poisoned? Seeing her expression, Queen Mary continued speaking.
"The royal palace has been compromised, and we cannot tell who is behind it. This is a very important item I need you to deliver to the crown prince. I can't trust anyone else," Queen Mary said. She followed her husband's instructions and did not tell Anastasia what was inside the box.
