[A few excerpts from Anastasia’s Secret Diary.]
1st June
Today, I decided to maintain a log of my day-to-day activities here in the castle of Sorvando. I don’t know if I can survive that long in this castle now that I know what kind of a man I have been betrothed to.
So, I will be writing everything that happens to me here so that the people who care about me can find out what kind of life I had here… or not.
I’m not sure if this diary will find its way back to Orsenia. But I hope that if something happens to me then my parents will at least be immediately informed about my death, if not the cause of my death.
I… have a strong feeling that my so-called husband will be the death of me.
I fear him.
Just a while ago, he came to my room and threatened me saying that he would snap me like a twig if he got hungry… that was the gist of it.
And he tried to chase me back to Orsenia. I would have gladly returned to my dear home if it wasn’t for myself.
