Chapter 114: Just like me...
Music Recommendation: Blooming Truth- Byun Sang Hoo

Anastasia approached the dungeon with Theresa trailing right behind her. The guards flanking the walls on either side bowed at her. They were the same men who had once denied her entry to see her dead sister.
She realised how power and status allowed her to do things that she couldn’t do previously. In a way, it provided her with much more freedom than before. They stepped inside the dungeon, walking down the stairs before reaching the underground area of the palace. But it wasn’t quiet, as they could hear Queen Maya’s angry words echo in the dungeon,
"How dare you and the others look down upon me?! I will make sure to let everyone know your place!"
And soon, on the opposite side of the passage, Anastasia noticed Lady Noor approaching. She offered a slight bow to the lady, who returned it.
"Are you here to see Queen Maya, Anastasia?" Lady Noor asked her, her voice competing with Queen Maya’s angry yelling.
Anastasia nodded, "I thought to come and see how she’s doing."
"That is very sweet of you, but... unfortunately, she isn’t in the right state of mind. Given the distressing news and the place she is confined in," Lady Noor replied with a sigh. "I encouraged her to come clean with her involvement in the schemes so that Prince Dante might allow her to see King Maxwell. As a mother myself, I can understand her pain, but her refusal to cooperate will only worsen the situation. She’s too stubborn."
