"I didn't know you two were so sly," Prince Conrad said to his younger brothers after they had separated from the Valyenor family.
After rushing to the castle in haste due to worry that it might have been attacked by enemies due to what the Grand Magus said, Conrad was shocked to find that the first thing he had to witness was his younger brother Aiden embracing Stella.
He was speechless for a moment and glanced at Fabian who seemed as surprised as he was but could not do anything about it.
Their father had given them all equal opportunity to pursue Stella. But all these years, Stella had been so busy that they could not meet her even once after the last time they had a tea party with her and her family.
It did not help that their letters got delayed responses because her brother did not send them to her. They had to wait until Stella was back at Valyenor castle for their letters to be read and responded to.
