Ever since he was about to turn sixteen, Zafir began having recurring dreams.
In that dream, he was looking at a grave that had Stella's name on it. It made him feel so much suffocating anguish and regret and a scream escaped him along with tears that uncontrollably fell. He was grieving at her grave.
And after that, the scene always changed to him on horseback with his sword drawn as he chased after a man. His heart was filled with hatred and fury and the desire to eliminate the man before him.
Zafir was frightened that the end of Stella's life was approaching when he first had that nightmare. He never told anyone about it since everyone was already terrified that she might lose her life due to her illness. But the duke and duchess never gave up and found the best doctor in the empire. Stella finally recovered and became healthy.
