The Reincarnation Of The Poor Princess
Fourteen (14)

Stella wiped her tear-soaked face with the handkerchief that Jesriel had given her. He was silent, while his mind wandered in various directions. Although her dream was brief, Stella knew it was part of the end of Princess Stella Al-Teona Evergard's life before her execution.

'Xander....'

Stella muttered the name in her heart, trying to figure out the owner of the name. However, Stella does not know any information regarding the person named "Xander", other than because the person is the fiancee of the real Princess Stella.

In retrospect, Stella recalled that in the fairy tale she had read, there was no information whatsoever about Xander. In the fairy tale book, King Shavir only introduces his name and status as Princess Stella's fiancee, but never tells the princess where the man came from.

After finishing wiping her face, Stella looked at Jesriel who was sitting in front of her. He wanted to ask his teacher a question, but was afraid that Jesriel would suspect him.

Jesriel, who felt someone looking at him, looked at the perpetrator. The young man smiled.

"My beautiful disciple, is there something wrong on my face?" tanyanya, jerking Stella's mind.

Stella cleared her throat, trying to normalize her attitude, and she replied, "Nothing. It's just, I want to ask you something."

Jesriel seemed interested in Stella's words. He leaned his head, approaching Stella.

"I wonder what kind of question the answer of this very clever royal princess is not known to have to ask her sword trainer," he said, then giggled.

Stella snorted slowly. Can't a 5-year-old ask? Oh, Stella remembered, she forgot one thing, that her soul was not 5 years old, but more. It seemed, due to being too comfortable living in the body of a five-year-old little boy, Stella had become oblivious to the age of her soul.

"Teacher, it's okay. I didn't ask," Stella replied.

He propped his face up with his chin, then looked at the scene outside the carriage.

Hearing Stella's reply, Jesriel pursed her lips and said, "My beautiful disciple, I was just kidding, so don't take it seriously."

He was smiling too.

"Now, ask a question you don't know the answer to. It's possible that this handsome teacher of yours can answer that."

"really?"

Stella glanced at Jesriel.

"Do you think Master can answer my question?"

"Of course!"

Jesriel nodded. He then patted his chest proudly.

"In this world, what do I not know? Just ask!"

Stella paused for a moment, then asked, "Teacher, do you know someone named Xander Aglio Aelo?"

For a moment, Jesriel was stunned. He looked at his student with an incredulous look. Then Jesriel sat beside Stella whispering, "My disciple, where do you know his name? Do you know him?" tanyakanya.

Stella frowned.

Is something wrong? Why did the teacher's reaction seem strange?

Finally, Stella shook her head in response, after which she said, "Teacher, I've only heard her name once, and I think that name doesn't sound from this area, so I'm asking you."

It was just a lie. It's impossible for Stella to tell what really happened to Jesriel, right?

Jesriel nodded, looking unsuspecting at Stella's lies.

"Hm, my student is right. Ah yes, about that name, this is actually a secret."

Stella's eyes grew bigger. He was a little clueless about the word "secret" that Jesriel spoke. Afterwards, Stella felt that the topic this time attracted her interest. Acting curious, Stella approached Jesriel.

"What is that, Master? Tell me!"

"Hehe, I thought you were interested. So, I'll tell you that Xander is...."

Stop, Jesriel deliberately hung up her sentence, then she whispered in Stella's ear in a mysterious pretentious tone.

"Pirate prince."

Stella stunned.

"Ba-pirate?!" repeat in a tone of disbelief.

He looked at Jesriel, trying to find the lie inside those orange eyes, but he got nothing.

"Yes! That's right."

Jesriel nodded.

Seeing Stella staring at him intensely, he immediately said, "I'm not lying, really."

"Oh."

Stella immediately withdrew her gaze. He's pensive. A reality he had just obtained left him a little confused.

So, Xander is a pirate prince, is that it? But, why did King Shavir introduce her as Princess Stella's fiancee in the fairy tale book? And also, since when did the Kingdom of Evergard establish a political relationship with pirates?

It was an important point that Stella did not understand. He tried to think hard, trying to dig out the answer to his question. Until a moment later, Stella was jolted by a question that flashed through her mind.

What happens in the fairy tale after Princess Stella dies?

...―――...

"Crown Prince, you're given a sentence of not being able to leave the palace for a week, having to master English conversation during your sentence, studying elementary and middle-level politics, also must be able to master basic level sword techniques."

The absolute orders of King Shavir further enraged Dhemiel. He also filed a protest.

"But, Father, Stella must also be punished! He didn't greet us, so he should be punished too!" dhemiel with a hardened face.

His teeth were cracking, holding his emotions back from overflowing in front of his father, if that happened his tongue could be cut off.

King Shavir glanced at Dhemiel sharply, then spoke.

"If it is, you calm down. I've prepared a much tougher sentence for Stella."

After saying so, King Shavir passed away, leaving Dhemiel with a small grin on his face.

"Ah, it turns out that not only am I punished, but also Stella."

Dhemiel hummed happily. He took a step out of his father's palace.

"Otherwise, Dad said the punishment was much heavier than me. I can't wait to see it, hihihi."
