Duke Henry and Duchess Amelia watched as Hendrick's body trembled as he cried and held Stella so dearly. That was the first time in so long that they witnessed their first child so emotional that he didn't care about maintaining his image in front of the knights.
The last time Hendrick cried in front of other people was when he found out that Zafir was not his real brother. After that, he was so obsessed with Stella and keeping her to himself. They worried about what repercussions this experience had on their children.
Stella also sobbed as she also held her brother tightly. Zafir who was watching the two also cried. They were clearly traumatized by the experience and Henry could only blame himself.
'I should have hired a magician a long time ago,' he thought in regret as they waited for the Grand Magus to undo his spell so they could approach their children.
