Stella stood at the gate of the Lancaster Mansion. She had come to meet Eleanore and if possible, give her some advice on staying away from Caelestis. The gatekeeper saw her and immediately let her in.
One of them went to inform Caelestis, who came rushing out of his study to welcome Stella. The butler himself was standing steady at the entrance and soon Caelestis joined him.
"Stella —" Caelestis began but was cut off.
"It's duchess or Madam for you. I am married and am no longer your friend either." She speaks in hostility.
"Why are you being like this? Yesterday—"
"Yesterday, I was trying to make Eleanore realise that you are a mad obsessor who will never stop obsessing over me." Stella's demeanor had changed drastically.
Not once, he had that thought in his mind. How could she say that in such a harsh tone?
"I am here to meet the Grand Duchess. If you may?" Stella gestured to let her in, but Caelestis didn't budge. He stood there like a statue, so the butler took over.
