"Stella sure has grown up," the duchess giggled to the obvious annoyance of Duke Henry and Hendrick who were not at all having fun at what was going on. They were glaring at Prince Aiden.
Stella looked around and realized that everyone have indeed misunderstood what happened. She took a deep breath and decided to settle matters once and for all before the misunderstanding gets worse.
"I think everyone is misunderstanding something," she said and the duke and duchess frowned. They glanced at Hendrick and Zafir and they both looked down.
'You traitors!' she wanted to scream at the two. But she couldn't really blame them if it seemed that way from the angle they saw it.
"Stella, it's okay. You did nothing wrong. And you don't have to be embarrassed either. It's perfectly normal at your age," the duchess assured her, thinking that she was just too embarrassed to admit it.
