After having a chat with Tilla for quite a while, Caspian escorted Anastasia towards her room.
When they reached a little further away from the servants’ quarter, Caspian asked Anastasia, “You seem pretty close with your handmaid. When did you two first meet?” He wanted to know how many years it would take for Anastasia to be as worried about him as she was for Tilla.
A sweet smile appeared on Anastasia’s lips as she recalled the first time she had met Tilla. “I met her when I was six years old. She was 7 at that time. Her mother used to work in our castle and she had brought Tilla with her that day.”
‘Eleven years, huh!’ Caspian thought to himself and asked again, “Then when did you start… liking her?”
