Alina thought she would finally have a chance to speak with Stella but with Prince Aiden and Zafir around, it wasn't possible. It was also clear that there was tension between the two.
'Were they always like this?' she glanced at the two.
She understood why Zafir wouldn't like Aiden since he clearly fancies Stella. He was probably jealous of the Prince who could openly speak about his feelings while he had to hide his adoration for Stella.
'You should also confess instead of behaving like this,' Alina thought as Zafir bravely glared at Aiden who was also glaring at him with clear animosity.
The Zafir she recalled from her memories was much more calm and pretentious. He didn't show any signs that he was in love with Stella so no one ever noticed. He wasn't shaken even when Stella and Aiden embraced each other right in front of him. He was able to pretend like it didn't matter to him even if it hurt and infuriated him so much.
