Chapter 59

• “No, it’s not.” Bella frowned. “But we have never gotten a say in anything we do here. I would rather know you’ve returned safe than be out there alone wondering where you are.”
• “What if it takes me months to return? I won’t have any way to communicate to you when I’ll be back.” Anna picked at her nails as her thoughts started to run from her. “What if something happens to me out there and you’ll never be freed?”
• “Anna! Don’t talk like that, nothing will happen to you out there. Mr. Andrew told me they’re sending some of the strongest guards out there with Prince Lucas, surely they will protect you too.” Bella said gently. There was no guarantee that they would care to protect a maid when they were only meant to protect their prince. They both knew that, but it changed nothing. Anna would just have to try to stay alive for more than just herself.
