"Ah, no. It's not like that. This necklace was rumored to have healing powers so I always wear it. My body had always been weak since I was a child so I use this as a protective charm or something like a healing pendant. I had never been sick since I was wearing this," Stella clarified.
She was glad that Princess Cassandra and Princess Katrina remained silent. They knew she would be having a hard time if all the ladies knew that it was a gift from Aiden.
If the ladies knew it was from Prince Aiden, they would assume that she was in a relationship with him. And Stella would rather not go that route.
In the original novel, there were also rumors about them having some kind of relationship. However, when Alina and Aiden got engaged, people assumed that it was because Stella was not a good lady so the prince changed his mind and went for the angelic and sweet Alina instead, compared to her who was cold, aloof, and full of herself.
