"W-what should I do? Y-You are bleeding too much." Stella said as her trembling hand pressed the wound on the crown prince's stomach to stop the blood from flowing.
Stella was taking a leisurely stroll in the palace garden, the moonlight casting a serene glow on the blooming flowers, when she was startled by the sudden appearance of Aiden, the crown prince of the empire, who emerged from a nearby bush and collapsed on the ground.
This is the first time Stella meets the crown prince face to face, but she knows who he is because everyone needs to know who the royal family is. It is the main learning for every person who lives in the empire. After all, he is the older brother of someone that she serves.
But why is he lying on the ground like this?
Stella froze where she stood while her eyes fixed on the man who was also looking at her. Because she was too surprised, she forgot that the man was not someone she could stare at like that, as people like her needed to lower their gaze.
