Stella was relieved that Hendrick finally stopped pestering her about what she did when she first heard about the war. Then she recalled the video of Hendrick's duel that the Grand Magus made her watch.
"Brother, I'm really happy that you won the duel. You were so amazing," Stella praised. She could still recall how fierce and strong he was.
"Of course. I would win no matter what. Did the knights tell you about it?" Hendrick was delighted to be praised.
"I watched the duel from the Grand Magus' magic orb," Stella informed.
"Y-you watched? You saw the entire duel?" Hendrick suddenly tensed. He glanced at Zafir for verification and the latter nodded.
"You let Stella watch something like that?!" he glared at Zafir.
"Stella, don't be scared of me. I was just really annoyed at that time," Hendrick explained.
"Eh? Why would I be scared of you?" Stella tilted her head.
"But everyone said I looked fearsome during the duel."
