Days passed, and Anastasia quietly collected samples of the late king's handwriting. She also searched for royal commands bearing his seal to use for comparison. While she was gathering evidence, Dorothy was on the verge of going mad.
Since being accused of harming the queen, the king had not stepped into her courtyard. She wasn't even allowed to take a walk outside. The nanny and two maids, who had once shown her the utmost respect, now dared to display their displeasure.
Although they didn't go too far due to her pregnancy, this was not the life Dorothy had envisioned. She had believed she would become a respected lady, how could she accept such a fate, especially when she had done nothing wrong? The maids had become disobedient, and Dorothy began looking for a way to see the king. She believed that if she could explain everything again, he would surely believe her.
