Anastasia nodded when he answered her question. So it seemed he had lived a life that she was supposed to have lived or similar to. She thought about it, trying to figure out what her next question would be. She was curious after all but didn't want to step on any toes. She bit her lip as she normally did when she lost herself in her head. Finally she looked back at him, "Do you like living in the palace? Or do you wish some days that you could live in the country? Be somewhere that you didn't have to be formal or listen to someone else's orders..... or do you like having someone to protect and watch over?"

She didn't think she could handle having someone's life in her hands. Having to protect them from blatant attacks or more subtle things like poisoning. Then again, she guessed if she ever did become Queen would have to do just that but on a far larger scale. She played with her fingers behind her back, "Does it ever get stressful? Worrying that someone might put themselves in danger without even knowing it and you would have to stop it."
