The Reincarnation Of The Poor Princess
Sixty (60)

Fiancee. Fiancee.

Fiancee. Fiancee.

Fiancee. Fiancee.

Those words continued to reverberate in Stella's mind, mastering her head contents. His eyes became empty. His body was petrified with a slight crack on his face.

Am I dreaming?

No one expected that the reason King Shavir called him was to meet his future fiancee, the pink-haired boy he had once helped!

No. gabe. It shouldn't be like this. Shouldn't the one who was introduced as Princess Stella's fiancee be Xander? But why is it like this?!

"Dad, this isn't funny," Stella said with a toneless laugh.

"Serious father."

"Where might he―what?!"

Stella raised her voice after hearing King Shavir's speech which did not sound playful. His face immediately turned pale.

"Why are you surprised like that?"

King Shavir asked in astonishment, he tugged his brows.

"The rules are like this. The princes and princesses who are already 5 years old will be unofficially engaged to a predetermined person. The official engagement will be held when she is 15 years old and can be cancelled two years later" explained King Shavir, who made Stella like she was struck by lightning. "You don't know, really? This is one of the rules in the Evergard Kingdom for members of the royal family."

I don't know at all!

Stella screamed hysterically in her heart. He had never been taught noble manners by anyone, so he had not studied the rules that existed for members of the royal family either. Honestly, now Stella feels sorry for not learning all those rules!

With a sad face, Stella looked at her father.

"But, Dad...!"

"Just calm. After you turn 17, you can choose whether you want to continue the engagement or not" said King Shavir calmly.

"Yes, Princess. Her engagement is only temporary" continued Esther, who also said calmly.

Stella's lips trembled as she wanted to curse them. He was forced to swallow all his grievances, while his mouth was muttering, saying the words of pearl in his heart.

Si*lan! B*r*ngs! Just die you guys! Kep*rat! Baj*ng*n! F*ck!!

"Well, then―"

King Shavir removes Stella, who is still cursing in the heart from her lap, and encourages Stella to stand near Esther.

"―Let's just say he's your friend. You guys should get along well, yeah."

What the fuck?!

"Let's go for a walk, Princess," Esther said, drawing Stella's hand, taking her away from King Shavir's office.

"H-hey! Unhand me!"

Stella screamed and rebelled, but Esther did not budge and still withdrew her hand. While King Shavir waved his hand, not intending to help his daughter.

I remember that I was like that too, her inner self while recalling her dark childhood memories with her former fiance.

***

A freezing cold wind blew. The remains of the snowflakes melted away as they were exposed to a warming magic that protected the entire palace from the winter. Two children were walking around King Shavir's rose garden.

"It's only for a while, Princess."

"Stop talking. You're noisy."

Yes, they are Stella and Esther, who are familiarizing themselves with forced―that is, according to Stella. Esther continued to say the sentence as a consolation, but Stella replied coldly, still not accepting the agreement her father had made with Esther without asking her opinion.

"Mr Princess take it easy. I―"

"Speak in a relaxed manner."

"Well, if that's what the Princess wants."

So obedient.

"I don't like the Princess, because there are already people I like."

"Then why do you want to accept the engagement?"

Stella shouted, glaring sharply at the boy, while Esther gave an answer with a relaxed look.

"Because this engagement is very beneficial to my uncle."

"What kind of answer is that?"

Feeling increasingly upset, Stella walks ahead of Esther.

He already has someone he likes. But could-can be...!

Pats!

Stella exclaims. Steps ceased. His eyes sparkled as a brilliant idea just flashed through his head.

"Here we go!" stella said as she swung her fists forward happily.

*W*oho~! Now I know how to cancel this engagement!

Standing behind Stella, Esther muttered confusedly, "Mr. Princess why, huh?"

Esther retreated, trying to get away from the princess who was laughing alone, but unexpectedly Stella turned around and approached her. His face looked radiant as well as suspicious.

"Hey, hey! Your name is Esther, right?"

"Yes. Wh-why?"

"Can you tell me the characteristics of the person you like? I want to meet him!"

"Can you meet him?"

Esther's expression instantly brightened after hearing Stella's words, to be honest she was also very eager to meet that person.

"of course! I'm, right, a princess!" stella replied confidently, excited that Esther had already fallen into her trap.

First plan, meet the girl and bring her to Dad!

Stella suspects that Esther's favorite daughter is the son of one of the nobles in her kingdom's territory, so she wants to meet him and bring him before King Shavir.

Then Stella would tell her father so dramatically that the man should not destroy Esther's future just for political matters. Esther has the right to live with the person she likes and no one can destroy their "love" or separate them.

Uhuk, my speech is very amused.

Stella was goosebumps when reciting the speech with the lecture element she was about to say in front of her father. But she had to do that to cancel her engagement but it hasn't been unveiled yet.

If you still don't want to cancel it, I'll bring Mom's name and their love story. Heheheheh.

Stella laughs maniacally in her heart, then urges Esther to tell him who she likes.

"So tell me the characteristics of the girl you like!"

Stella's stern gaze made Esther nod with a serious face, then she began to tell Stella the characteristics of the girl.

"She's got blonde hair that shines like gold. Even the sunlight was defeated by her beautiful golden hair" Esther said, demonstrating how beautiful the person's hair was.

Wait, whoa! Don't-don't Xylia?!

Stella was excited. It must have been very easy to persuade her father if Esther's favorite person was Xylia.

He would have said that Xylia's eyes were as beautiful as emerald, right? Sure is!

Contrary to his thoughts, Esther continued on in a more dramatic tone than before.

"His pair of charming red eyes shone like rubies, as if a stone itself was embedded there. Her bright white skin perfectly matched her icy cold expression. She really...! Really very can―!"

"Pfffttt―! Oohok, ohok! Ohok, yahoo!"

Stella's lips twitched until she shook, then she coughed violently.

"What's up, Princess?"

Esther asked in surprise. Though the princess in front of him did not eat anything that made him choke, but why did he cough like that? That's what stuck in his mind.

Meanwhile, Stella was unceasingly coughing. His shoulders trembled as he tried to muffle his mouth so as not to cough. Her face turned red, aware that the person Esther liked was herself, especially after hearing the exaggerated description Esther gave of her.

Ja-so that's me?! Is there a hole here? I want to hide right now!

***

"Why is your face red like that, Princess?" esther asked, touching Stella's cheek with one of her hands.

A hot feeling immediately spread in his palm. Esther was shocked and panicked.

"God! Princess has a fever!"

Stella's face turned red and spread to her ears. He immediately brushed off the hand of Esther who was still touching her cheek.

"Don't bother me anymore!"

"Huh?"

"Don't follow me!"

Stella immediately turned around, then ran very fast. His figure slowly disappeared in one blink of an eye.

"Lord Princess!"

"Shut up there!" stella shouted from a distance, while Esther could only look at the fading shadow of Stella.
