Aside from all the talk about her brother, there were new rumors about Stella. It was all because of the bouquet that Prince Cornelius had given her.
Her fellow students at the temple quickly assumed that the prince had something for her when he just did it to annoy her brother.
Stella would have been able to deny it. But all of a sudden, Prince Cornelius had been sending her flowers and gifts along with letters every single day since she returned to the capital.
He kept complimenting her beauty, grace, and elegance and saying that he wanted to get to know her more.
Stella concluded that Prince Cornelius must be so pissed at Hendrick for marrying Cassandra whom the former was pursuing and also his younger sister whom he had just found. And now, Cornelius was getting back at Hendrick by pretending to like her.
King Edmund and Prince Cornelius apparently extended their stay as they had talks with Emperor Victor regarding their stance on neutrality.
