Neglected

"What happened to Princess Valerie?" Stella inquired once they were in the mansion. She honestly had a lot of questions for Zafir but she ought to know more about why Hendrick couldn't come when he was supposed to have a tea party with Alina tomorrow.

"He received a letter that Princess Valerie had been melancholic since she couldn't go out. She was also homesick and apparently became sick due to that so Hendrick went to Eleftheria with his doctor and a lot of medicines," Zafir explained.

"Oh my. She must have been missing her family," Stella felt bad for the princess.

Since the princess was the most pampered and loved by the King of Valencia, she surmised that the princess must have missed her family dearly and how she was treated in Valencia. Especially when she was treated like a prisoner of war in Valyenor. She wasn't allowed to meet anyone or go out of the Eleftheria mansion.
