While walking along the road, the trio began to talk about various things and curiosities that, until then, had not been mentioned. The fresh air of early morning mingled with the subtle scent of the surrounding trees, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere for conversation.
"Since when do you know Lady Stella, Aziz?" Liora asked curiously, her voice laden with genuine interest, as if trying to unravel a mystery that seemed to elude her.
Aziz looked at her with a gentle smile, his expression calm and confident. "I have known her for a little over five years. Why?" he replied, and promptly returned the question with an inquisitive look, waiting for the reason behind her interest.
Liora seemed to hesitate for a moment, as if weighing her words.
"It's just that I never knew she was so close to anyone, except Miss Sofia and her subscriber Sylvia — especially not a man," she answered, her curiosity about the enigma that was Aziz growing even more than before.
