“Answer me truthfully, Tilla. What’s going on here?” Anastasia asked her handmaid when she heard the scream for a second time.
And Tilla couldn’t keep on making things up since that painful scream of Ruby couldn’t be passed as something normal.
So, Tilla revealed what she knew. “I heard that they had brought in a new prisoner yesterday night. I don’t know what crime she committed. But from the way they are interrogating her, I think it is something serious.”
Anastasia was now starting to feel uneasy. “Is Caspian the one who is interrogating?” she asked to confirm what was in her mind.
However, Tilla didn’t have an answer. “I am not allowed anywhere near the dungeon because of what happened that day. So, I don’t really know.”
Anastasia felt her body gradually warming up. Her fever was slowly returning again.
But more than her fever, the thought of Caspian torturing a woman so badly that even her screams were giving her chills was affecting her more.
