Stella was finally in her room after the long talk with everyone. Duchess Amelia wanted to let them rest first before continuing the discussions the next day. She sighed deeply as she recalled her conversation with the Great Sage.

"I know about your other identity as Miss Kim Yeong-ja," the Great Sage said and Stella froze in trepidation.
'Will he tell my family?! What should I do?' she panicked.
"I don't understand what you are talking about," she pretended not to know.
"I told you that you can stop pretending since I already know. Should I wake up your brother and tell him?" the Great Sage rose and Stella quickly caught his wrists.
"Please don't tell them. No one else knew of my other identity," Stella pleaded.
"Everything comes with a price little girl," the Great Sage smirked and her heart drummed in her chest nervously.
'Would he blackmail me?'
"What do you want?" she asked carefully.
