Disease

While Stella and Zafir were at the mansion, Wolfram and his wife Adolphine visited. Adolphine was pregnant but she got sick from a contagious disease that a lot of their people were currently experiencing and had even perished from.

Adolphine didn't want to die while she was with child, so she secretly left the forest to ask for help in Alistair since she heard that the Young Mistress of Valyenor had brought the best doctors of Valyenor with her on her visit.

Wolfram caught up to his wife only when she was already at Zafir's mansion because she apparently rode on the fastest wolf.

Zafir was alarmed and instantly had Stella cover her mouth with a handkerchief and made her leave.

"My lady, I'll take care of this. Please stay in your room and do not come out until it's safe," Zafir said but Stella didn't rise.

"Zafir, I'm fine now. I won't ever get sick again. And I have Dr. Arnold and Hannah to take care of me," Stella assured him.
