It was a weekend so Stella was with Prince Fabian and Prince Conrad taking a walk around the city center of Nigellus.
She was splurging on street foods since she was missing the street foods in Valyenor. She had wanted to go home to visit her family but her schedule was fully packed. Fabian also said that she had no time to relax since she was still learning the basics.
Stella was supposed to go home on Hendrick's twenty-second birthday but it was not celebrated because he was away. Her mother wrote in a letter that they would celebrate it later when Hendrick returns.
'Where did my brother go?' she wondered since he never mentioned going somewhere. But then again, Hendrick was the heir of Valyenor, he travel to other duchies at times to attend officials' meetings and so on.
