Lydia shut the door of her room behind her.
The moment the door closed, she leaned against it and let out a shaky breath.
Everything was still replaying in her head.
The staircase.
Tatiana.
The way she had suddenly thrown herself down the stairs.
The sound of her body hitting each step.
Lydia closed her eyes tightly.
She could still see it.
She could still hear it.
She had never expected something like that to happen.
The door opened again.
Anna quickly stepped inside.
"Are you okay, Your Highness?"
Lydia didn't answer.
She simply stood there, staring at the floor.
Anna looked at her worriedly.
"Your Highness?"
Lydia finally moved away from the door.
She walked slowly toward the bed and sat down.
Anna followed her.
"Lady Orlova is unbelievable," she said, still shaken by what had happened. "She even threw herself down the staircase. She's completely crazy."
Lydia looked up at her.
Anna lowered her voice.
