The Reincarnation Of The Poor Princess
Fourty Four (44)
The head of the "Eternal Flame" Paid Army Agent was named Leonard Whitey. The goal of forming the community is none other than to find her only daughter, Alexa Axellia Whitey.
There are only three people who survived the "extinction" of a noble family of witches that occurred decades ago, namely Leonard along with his daughter and her student.
However, Leonard was separated from his daughter―Alexa― as he grew up. Together with his student, Leonard forms the strongest Paid Army Agent in the Kingdom of Evergard, which is named "Eternal Flame".
After the Eternal Flame was formed, Leonard began recruiting as many members as possible to search for his daughter's whereabouts. Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain.
Leonard, who was in despair at the time, was helped by his student. His student promises that he will find his daughter and bring her before Leonard. But years later, his student never visited him or gave him any news.
Back then, great frustration and despair made him live his life feeling empty.
Until the day a little girl came and stood in front of him with a face very similar to her daughter, Alexa. However, the difference between them was the color of his eyes.
This child had red eyes and blond hair, it was clear that he was a descendant of a noble family of witches.
Such thoughts appeared in Leonard's head. However, what confused him was that the little boy in front of him came from the descendants of the mana tribe, because only three people had survived the extinction incident many years ago.
I can't believe my daughter is married and has a daughter.
When he thought about that, Leonard felt depressed. She lost her daughter as she grew older, after which she discovered that she was married and had a daughter. If that's true, then how does he feel?
I hope this child is not my daughter's. I haven't even seen my daughter standing at the wedding altar, but instead seen my own granddaughter? No, that's bad. I hope that little boy only has a face similar to my daughter's.
When Leonard was still diving into his thoughts, someone said unexpected things.
"I feel that the Chairman and the Princess are similar in every way, so I recruited the Princess." The words of someone took over the attention of the two people. Rielle, who said so, smiled as she looked at her chairman and Stella in turn. "Hm, hm. Judging from any direction, the two of you do look alike."
"What do you mean, Rielle?"
The old man's eyes sharpened when he heard Rielle's words, he felt that his confidants were hiding something from him.
Hearing her chairman's question, Rielle smiled and replied casually, "Mr Princess is the person I said that day; I felt something special inside her. Does the Chairman remember that phrase?"
"What .... So, the person you were referring to that day was this little boy...?"
"Frightly so."
Leonard was in disbelief. His gaze turned back to Stella.
This little boy?
And finally, the question that made him curious about the identity of the girl was thrown from his mouth.
"Who are you really?"
"Yes?"
"Why do you look so much like my daughter?"
"I...."
On the other hand, Stella did not know what to answer. Should he tell her that she is a royal princess?
Leonard, who saw the girl hesitating, immediately said, "I just want to know where you're from."
Hearing that, Stella could do nothing but be honest in front of the old man.
I've already become part of the Eternal Flame, so let's build trust.
"I'll tell you my identity, but I have a request."
Next to Leonard's eyebrows rose after hearing Stella's words.
"What's that?"
After which, Stella smiled wryly and replied, "I want your trust."
"Then?"
"Then I want Eternal Flame to cooperate with me."
"What kind of cooperation?"
"Cooperate in a rebellious Kingdom of Evergard before the day of my death comes."
Stella, who dropped those words like a bomb, was still smiling. However, his gaze turned cold.
Neither Leonard nor Rielle were speechless after hearing such words come out from the mouth of a little child.

"I was just kidding. Haha."
Stella said those words while pretending to laugh. It was impossible for him to reveal his plan that he had laid out to someone unknown. Stella did that because she wanted to show Leonard that she was not just an innocent child, but a child that could not be underestimated.
Then Stella looked at Rielle and Leonard in turn.
"Why are your faces still tense?"
"A-ah, that's ...." Rielle scratched her neck, not knowing what to answer. He was surprised to not expect that the king's daughter had a different, scary side. "Of course because the Princess said those words with a smile. I even got goosebumps...."
Leonard, who had a tense face, immediately regained his composure.
"I'm impressed with the way you speak" he said. He got up from his seat, grabbed Stella's little body and carried her. "Your previous request, I agree. Now you have my trust. So, what else do you need?"
As Leonard held Stella, Stella felt her heart tickle. He felt like he was having a reunion with someone he hadn't seen in a long time. On the other hand, Stella felt that the current scene looked familiar.
I remember that Shavir's father also carried me like this.
Is this just a coincidence? Seems like.
After which, Stella thought of Leonard's words. Something brilliant immediately appeared in his mind.
"I have a final request" Stella said a moment later.
"What's that?"
"Give me full rights to the Eternal Flame" Stella replied with a smile, leaving Leonard and Rielle like they had been struck by lightning. "Make my position equal to Uncle Rielle's. What can?"
"En, yes ... The Princess." Rielle called out to Stella, her face filled with deep doubt. "The request seems a bit ... too difficult."
"Too hard, huh?"
Stella tilted her head, pretending to act like she was thinking. Afterwards, Stella said a few sentences in a dramatic tone, sounding pitiful and heart-wrenching.
"yes too. I was too pushy, yes. This is my first request. Dad never even gave me what I wanted, hiks .... Well, this might be my destiny for not having a mother. Huhuhuhoo...."
False tears immediately descended from Stella's eyelids, yet in her heart she grinned.
Okay, let's take up acting one of my older sisters in my world first.
Tu-lord Princess, your change of expression is amazing. I'm horrified by the charade you made.
After that, Rielle felt that there were black stripes behind her.
Why, is it okay to vilify His Majesty the King in front of others?
Meanwhile, Leonard seemed to be considering the request of the little girl he was carrying. After that, Leonard nodded.
"I will fulfill your request."
"Gee!"
"What?!"
Stella looked at Leonard cheerfully, while Rielle stared in disbelief at the chairman. However, Leonard would not say that without a reason.
"But can you tell me your identity?"
Stella quickly replied, "Of course!"
In this way, my second and third plans are done! I just need to execute the first and fourth plans!

"G .... This is a very refreshing green tea~"
Stella drinks a cup of green tea that Rielle gives her. At this moment, Stella was in Rielle's room.
"I'm glad that the Princess likes it," Rielle replied with a smile.
The reason why he called Stella into his room was to discuss the position that Stella got from Leonard.
"Well, Princess, now listen to my explanation."
Since now that the Princess has gotten a high position in the Eternal Flame, then I don't need to speak formally with her, Rielle's inner voice nodded twice.
Then Stella replied, "Well," she replied on the sidelines drinking her favorite tea.
"Since I am the Vice Chairman of the Eternal Flame, and the Princess gets the same position as me, then it is impossible if Eternal Flame has two vice-chairmen."
"So?"
"So, the Princess will not be the vice-chairman, but the commander."
The movement of Stella who was drinking her tea instantly stopped. The sound of tea cups placed on the table then sounded.
I haven't heard that call in a long time.
Stella's memories explore a memory that was never removed from her head.
"We're ready for action, Commander Stella!"
Then Stella breathed a heavy sigh.
It was painful to remember those memories, especially since I didn't know my way home, I felt like I was being separated from something very precious to me.
It was never imagined by Stella that she would enter this foreign world after enjoying her happy life in the modern world.
Dad, Mom, Grandpa, everyone, I miss you....
The deg! The deg! The deg!
Emotions that Stella did not normally feel now surrounded her heart.
Is Brother Larson still doing state chores rather than getting engaged or married?
Is Eliza still arguing with Professor Cain over disagreements?
*Is Belle still throwing parties and ditching during manners and history lessons?
Does Brother Zenos still often practice swords even though I am not there?
And ... is my twin, Brother Jevon, still being silly and childish despite his age of 20*?
"Did you miss me...?"
The voice sounded soft and sad, making Rielle look at Stella with curiosity.
"What's up, Princess?"
"... Nothing," Stella replied after realizing that she was saying something she shouldn't have said.
Rielle fell silent. His brown eyes stared at the little girl in front of him intensely. Did he see wrong? There seemed to be emptiness and sadness in those sharp red eyes. Rielle didn't know if she saw wrong or not.
"so." Rielle simply nodded in response, pretending not to see the emptiness and sadness in Stella's red eyes. He continued, "Then I'll be―"
Brak!
"Vice Chief!!"
The sound of breaking the door and the cry of someone cut through Rielle's words. That person was still standing in the doorway while neutralizing his breathing, he was panting.
Rielle seemed distracted when someone entered her room without her permission.
"I told you, don't break down my door, knock first. Aren't you me―"
Bruk!
The man prostrated on the floor.
"Please save me, Vice Chairman!"
"What the fuck?"
"His Majesty the King will kill me!"
"Huh?"
