The Reincarnation Of The Poor Princess
Thirteen (13)

"Stella, you're not supposed to do such a heinous thing to Xylia. I'm disappointed in you."

The familiar voice in Princess Stella's ear made the poor girl raise her head to look at the person she was talking to. When he saw that person, his heart was filled with sorrow and longing at the same time.

"Xander!"

The name was spoken by him with a little hope for his life.

"Xander! You're coming! Helpme! I never did that to Xylia .... You believe me, don't you?"

The man stood still, with his silvery-white hair and soothing blue eyes, about two years younger than Princess Stella, and Xander Aglio Aelo, Princess Stella's fiancee. That was before she fell in love with Xylia.

Initially, Xander and Xylia had only a short chat on the grounds that "it will soon be a family, so they must familiarize themselves". However, before long, his second relationship which was a forbidden love intertwined with time. In the presence of Princess Stella, they spoke as if they were friends. But in the back, they exchanged letters secretly, then turned into a secret meeting.

Of course, Princess Stella did not know their relationship, because from her point of view, Xander was a "busy" person, so it was impossible to take time for her, let alone for Xylia. But slowly, their relationship unfolded in front of the crowd. It happened when Princess Stella was accused of poisoning Xylia.

At that moment, Xander visited Xylia and expressed her concerns. He held Xylia's hand for a while to show how much he loved her before the king. Thus, everyone knows that they love each other. However, instead of opposing their relationship, the king and even the other nobles agreed to their relationship.

Xander was more suited to Xylia, as they were a goddess-blessed couple, and Xander was no match for the evil Princess Stella, so everyone thought.

After revealing their relationship, Xander preaches to the king saying that he wants to visit Princess Stella to warn her about hurting Xylia. The king of course agreed to Xander's wishes, without knowing the other intent behind the man's wishes.

As a result, Xander arrives at the place where Princess Stella is being held.

The man looked at Princess Stella with a cold glint, showing deep hatred.

"What's wrong with Xylia that you did such a heinous thing to her?" Her voice was sharp, piercing through Princess Stella's mind.

The poor girl looked at Xander with a surprised look. She stuttered.

"What-what do you mean? You believe their words from me?"

A glint of sadness flashed in his eyes, his purple eyes were heating up, about to shed his tears.

"I believe them" Xander replied without a sense of burden.

His sharp eyes again drugged Princess Stella's mind.

"Hey, Princess. I want to tell you that you're the most heinous criminal I've ever met."

The deg!

Princess Stella felt stabbed by thousands of needles from various directions. His heart raced incoherently. Sweat was racing all over his body. His eyes were perfectly rounded.

He doesn't believe this.

He did not believe what God showed him.

Not possible .... Xander betrayed him?

Over the years of living in Xylia's shadow, Princess Stella felt there was no place for her in this world. The fact that her mother had died and her father who hated her so much because of the incident made her depressed.

He wanted to be loved like they loved Xylia. But, he did not get that love and affection from anyone.

Xylia was only the child of the duke family, whereas she was the daughter of the royal family, but why did everyone treat her lower than a servant?

She always wondered, why would her father like Xylia more than her?

After growing up to be a teenage girl, Princess Stella finally got the answer to her question.

"Because Xylia has long blonde hair like your mother that you don't even have."

It was the words of his father when he ventured to ask that question. After that, he dissolved in his sadness. He told himself that no one loved him in this world, but that was not true.

"Your Majesty the Queen is willing to die because she wants you to stay alive."

It was Suzy's words that managed to make Princess Stella rise from her slump. Stella wants to stay alive not for herself, but to live up to her mother's last hope.

However, before long, Suzy died, and it was because of Xylia. But, after that, his father introduced Xander as his fiancee. The man is kind and cares about him. Stella thinks that maybe Xander is the one God chose to accompany her life, and will never betray her, because Stella believes that Xander loves her.

But, now....

"Maybe it hurt you a little, but I'll keep saying it. The person I love is Xylia, and it never changes."

At the time, Stella knew that it was the last time Xander spoke to her, because a week later, she was executed for unsubstantiated false charges.

"... My student? My student? Princess Sir...? Princess Sir!"

Stella flinched and woke up from her sleep. Before him, Jesriel looked at him with a worried expression. The little girl looked around, she was still inside the carriage.

"My beautiful disciple, are you okay?" asked Jesriel who got a question mark from Stella.

"What am I really doing?"

'I was just sleeping, but why did he ask like that?' inner Stella.

"That's because you're crying, I'm so worried."

"What?"

Stella felt she had misheard Jesriel's answer, but once again Jesriel repeated her words, and it left Stella a little surprised. He felt the area around his eyes, and found a clear liquid that felt moist.

"I ... cried?"

Stella feels weird.

'Lately, why do I feel so sad?'
