The Reincarnation Of The Poor Princess
The Fourty One (41)

That person looks similar to Stella's grandfather in the modern world. But the difference, that person had a different hair and eye color to his grandfather. But still, his facial features looked similar.

"You recognize me?"

The voice of the man jolted Stella's mind. He quickly shook his head.

"Oh, no. I thought I met someone I knew" Stella replied, shaking her head.

I thought Grandpa came to pick me up, but I was wrong. He's not a grandfather, he's just someone else who looks like Grandpa .... But, why does it feel like my heart is saying that he is my grandfather?

While Stella was daydreaming, the man reached out his hand, grabbed Stella's small body and lifted her up, so that their height became level.

"Eh?"

Stella was shocked due to the sudden movement of the person. She's confused.

Wh-why is she...?

"Grandfather was happy to see you, my granddaughter," said the man, startling Stella.

H-huh? Was he not wrong? stella asked in her heart. A moment later, the truth was revealed. Wait, those eyes ... Why are they the color of Shavir's eyes? Hair too. When you look around, they look similar .... Ehhh―minsip?!

"You...."

"I'm your grandfather from your father's family" the man interrupted, then he smiled.

The deg! The deg! The deg!

Stella was stunned when she saw that person's smile. His heart was beating fast. Suddenly his eyes felt moist, and tears began to fall down his cheeks.

"Hik, hik, hik...." Stella hiccups for trying to hold back her cries, but she can't help it. Eventually, the feeling of longing overflowed. "Yahwaa! Grandpa...!"

Stella was crying while hugging the man. Stella's grandfather, Zayden Al-Thorea Evergard, returned Stella's embrace as she gently stroked her grandson's head. His purple eyes became wet from the feeling of longing. The grandfather and grandson spent the day hugging with tears.

Half an hour later, Stella let go of his embrace. His little body was still in Zayden's arms. Then a reddish hue spread across Stella's face.

Uhh .. that was so childish, Stella's mind. Suddenly his face became more red with embarrassment when he remembered the incident earlier. I could be acting like a child. But ... I'm happy!

Then Stella's gaze turned to Zayden, who was looking at her fixedly, after which Stella smiled widely.

Although he's not my grandfather, I'm glad that there are people who look like the people I know in my world.

"Good morning, Grandpa!" stella's greeting accompanied by a smile.

It was almost noon, but it still included the morning, so Stella said her greetings.

Right now, Stella seemed like a different person.

There was no longer an expressionless face that was always plastered on his face. No more closed lips that never smile. There was also no longer a sharp gaze that unsheathed like a sword. All of it collapsed before a person similar to his grandfather in his former world.

"Yes, good morning, too" Zayden replied, he smiled, and then he started walking. "How about we take a walk around Grandpa's palace, my dear grandson?"

"Yes! I want!"

Then Zayden started walking towards his palace―i Everyden― Palace while carrying Stella.

***

"W-what?! Your Majesty the former King?!"

"Huh?! Over where? Where's where?"

"He was with the Princess in the garden of Everyden Palace!"

"really?! Well, the Great Princess is able to attract the attention of His Majesty the previous King!"

"So I saw them walking around the park. They look so happy!"

"really? What a rare moment. Even King Shavir can't be like that with the Princess!"

"Yes, you're right! His Majesty the King and the Prince could not get close to the Princess, but His Highness the previous King could approach the Princess in an instant! Really great!"

"Oho~ We have new gossip!"

Then the servants and soldiers who were gossiping looked at each other and smiled cunningly.

Hohoho, let's get a little heated up, Your Majesty the King! their minds simultaneously.

And finally, the gossip about Stella and Zayden who were walking around in the garden of Everyden Palace with happy faces reached the ears of King Shavir and Dhemiel.

The two great figures of the kingdom, who were looking at the harmonious scene between Stella and Zayden, instantly felt annoyed and emotionless.

"It could be that they are happy without me" said King Shavir as he stared intently at the scene before him.

"Yes. They are so fucking. I've never even been like that with Stella!" reply Dhemiel. His face looked annoyed. "What the fuck? Why are my rivals increasing? Already Father, Xylia, Suzy, Jesriel, Azalea, now Grandpa is also my rival!!"

"I think so too" said King Shavir.

The two began glaring at Stella and Zayden with annoyed looks, which unfortunately was not noticed at all by the pair of grandfathers and grandchildren. They throw laughter and jokes at each other, making King Shavir and Dhemiel even more jealous.

"Ekhm .. uhuk, uhuk! Anu .... Wouldn't it be better if the two of you approached the Princess and Her Majesty the previous King...?" Creed coughed. He stared in embarrassment at King Shavir and Dhemiel who were crouching behind a bush. "... Than you guys squatting like that. You guys look―err .. forgive my sass―you look embarrassing...."

Zzt!

Two sharp glances immediately stared at Creed, making the man silence his mouth. A white board that read "I don't see anything" was plastered clearly above his head. 

A moment later, someone's voice sounded.

"Ekhm, ekhm!" King Shavir cleared his throat after realizing that he was crouching, then the man stood up elegantly while putting on an expressionless face. His purple eyes were staring at Dhemiel, who was also looking at him. "Dhemiel, let's separate the two of them."

Understanding his father's words, Dhemiel immediately nodded, then stood up. "Yes, let's separate them!"

The two are determined, then start walking towards Stella and Zayden.

From now on, dong, Creed's mind while patting his forehead.

***

"I like Grandpa!"

"Grandfather too."

"I love Grandpa!"

"Grandfather too."

Then Stella smiled widely while forming a heart sign with her finger.

Zayden also smiled and formed a heart mark with his finger.

"Grandfather too. Muach~"

Oi, oi. Stop over. I'm getting hotter, huh!

Dhemiel looked at them with flaming eyes in jealousy. Beside him, King Shavir had the same expression.

Why did you show up at a time like this?!

King Shavir looked at Zayden with a burning jealous look.

Not far behind them, Creed exhaled softly while shaking his head. He stared in concern at his master and Dhemiel.

That's the fate of a "sad boy", his mind bluntly.

Of course the word "sad boy" refers to King Shavir and Dhemiel.

*(woi, woi😂)

Meanwhile, Zayden, who noticed the presence of his son and grandson, immediately smiled cunningly. Without warning, he carried Stella, and began to provoke the two people who were being engulfed in the flames of jealousy.

"Grandfather doesn't know which fool disregards a child as beautiful and as funny as you are" Zayden said as he looked at King Shavir with a mocking look. It was certain that an unpleasant aura was emanating around King Shavir. "And Grandpa doesn't know which fool thinks of others as his sister, when he has a sister who is cute!"

Huh huh? Why did he suddenly speak like that?

Stella is confused, but then follows Zayden's line of sight. His gaze found King Shavir as well as Dhemiel who was standing not far from them, finally he understood why Zayden said that.

I got a free spectacle, heheheh.

Pretending not to know what was going on, Stella looked at Zayden with an innocent look and replied, "Yes, Cake. I didn't know anyone was that stupid either."

"Really, right? They are stupid."

"Yup, yup!" Stella nodded enthusiastically. "I agree! They are stupid!!"

Then the two looked at each other and laughed, ignoring the annoyed gazes of King Shavir and Dhemiel.

It took half an hour to cool the warming atmosphere.

King Shavir approached Zayden and gave him a sharp look. "I don't know why you're here. So, can you please explain?"

"Why? Can't you be here?" reply Zayden with sarcastic tone. "Toh, this is still my territory" he continued, bragging.

"I know," King Shavir said. "I just don't like it when Dad hogs Stella."

Honestly, Stella's timpal was in her heart, but soon her brows furrowed as she found something strange in King Shavir's sentence. What do you mean "hogging Stella"? Do you think I'm an item?

An irritated feeling immediately surrounded Stella.

Meanwhile, Zayden said a thorny sentence.

"Aren't five years enough for you to be with Stella?"

Jem!

It felt like an arrow pierced King Shavir's heart. He can't say anything.

Seeing his son's reaction, Zayden smiled in anguish. His purple eyes stared sinisterly at King Shavir.

"Why are you silent? Did you say something wrong?" asked the old man, and Zayden continued in a sorry tone, "If I knew you didn't take care of your daughter properly, I wouldn't let you marry Alexa. It's better if you're single for life."

"... I don't know what you're talking about."

King Shavir dodged. His gaze pointed in another direction, not wanting to look Zayden in the eye.

This brat!

Zayden looked at his son with an annoyed look. He snarled in the heart.

I have to give him punishment.

"Come here" he said a moment later, hinting at King Shavir approaching. "Follow Dad."

"Where?"

"Dad will punish you!"

"... What's?"

Whahuh? The great, cruel, heartless, and iceberg-cold King Shavir will be punished?!

Stella was dumbfounded, then smiled widely.

What a rare sight! I must see him punished! Got to!

Then Stella laughed cunningly in her heart. He was very excited watching the punishment that King Shavir was going to execute.
