"Aaah, so the princess is finally here," Victoria said, and Stephano immediately looked towards the stairs.
Elliana's face was neutral, not full of life and emotions like he had seen when he arrived the last time.
Was she getting better or worse under the influence of Sebastian? What are the chances that Sebastian was bullying her, and that's why she was looking like this? He would've believed this theory if he hadn't seen what happened earlier.
Then again, what if Sebastian took her into seclusion to scold her? This can be used against Sebastian, and he can tell his grandpa that Sebastian isn't taking his orders well. But he would have to wait and observe that. A sly smile appeared on Stephano's face as he stood from his place.
"Greetings, Princess," Stephano said, and Elliana, who was still lost in her thoughts of what Marcello said, looked at the man before smiling softly.
