Curse

Stella was at a loss for words when things suddenly escalated so much. Only when the Great Sage said that what Lana and Lobelia did was so idiotic since it had such great consequences did she realize what those consequences were.

It did not even register to her that she was the one who almost died until the Great Sage pointed it out.

She almost got killed by Lana and Lobelia. If it wasn't for Zafir, she would have been the one who got severely burned. 

And yet, even that didn't sound so bad compared to seeing Zafir almost die right in front of her while there was nothing she could do. It would have been better if it was her that got burned since her family would still love her regardless of how she looks.

But Zafir, she didn't know. His mother would surely still accept him. But becoming the King of Alvarez looking like that, she wasn't so sure their subjects would like it. It may give Zafir more insecurities instead of giving him confidence.
