'I'll have to talk to Jason about this. I don't like how Stella is shadowing me like I can't take care of myself. It makes me feel inadequate.'
Gina felt irritation growing in her heart, but she was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard Stella speak up from the side.
"That was an amazing attack, Gina. I didn't know you could ignite your mana like that, and the trick to use it as a smokescreen was also good. I suppose I should at least expect this much from the woman chosen by my prince. Hmm…"
Stella folded her hands and nodded sagely, like she had just discovered some hidden truth, and Gina felt a strange feeling of pride rising from somewhere deep in her chest. Gina's cheeks grew hot, and she waved Stella's compliments away to try to hide her embarrassment.
"T-That was nothing. It was just a regular attack."
