The Reincarnation Of The Poor Princess
Sixty Nine (69)

Lilith, never mentioned in the fairy tale "The Poor Princess", is unexpectedly Princess Stella's only friend and best friend. That harmonious relationship was never expressed in the book of fairy tales. It tells Stella indirectly that not all events are written in the book.

Now, however, Stella did not focus too much on that fact.

His attention was on Lilith, who suddenly brought the foreign memories to her head and made her heart hit by a deep feeling of longing. This situation was incomprehensible to Stella at all, even if her logic worked to its fullest.

He kept asking himself; why did the foreign memories come again with a different atmosphere, why Lilith was so familiar with him, and why she experienced such a deep feeling of longing in the girl.

But the answers to those questions never existed.

Moreover, on the other hand, Stella clenched her hands.

Don'tdon't move! Let's hold it, Stella!

The desire to hug the boy managed to hold Stella with difficulty, but her feelings became depressed. Though he did not know Lilith, but it felt like he already knew the girl well and was very close to her.

What is this feeling...?

Meanwhile, Lilith, who felt someone's gaze always on her, turned to look at that person.

"Is there something on my face, Princess?"

The gazes of King Shavir and Dhemiel immediately led to him. Stella jerks. He regained consciousness.

"Ti-nothing," Stella replied stiffly.

Lilith looked at him worriedly when she saw the face of the princess in front of her looking unwell.

"Is the Princess okay? You look less healthy."

"I'm fine sa―"

"You'd better rest, Stella," cut King Shavir fast.

He could feel that his daughter was looking unwell, sweat kept flowing at the child's temples. Concerns soon struck him.

"We better get home."

"But...."

"Father's right, Stella."

This time the one who cut his words was Dhemiel. Stella could only follow them, who stood up from the chair. Before stepping away from the podium, he took the time to approach Lilith.

"Lilith."

"L-yes, Princess!"

Lilith was nervous when her name was called by the princess. But what happened next made his entire body stiff.

"Let me hold you for a second, Lili."

Stella whispered in Lilith's arms, called out to her familiarly, then hugged her tighter. The feeling of longing in his heart was slowly being treated. He feels calm and comfortable. While Lilith, who was suddenly hugged by Stella, immediately returned her embrace with a blushing face.

"Sa-I'm honored, Princess!"

Lilith smiled with a happy face.

The two hugged each other for a moment, after which Stella let go of her embrace and smiled. His facial expression was as smooth as his skin.

"See you later, Lili."

Then he went with King Shavir and Dhemiel, leaving Lilith alone with a racing heart, while her face turned red.

See you later, said the Princess. Doesn't that mean I'll see her again?!

"Yahoo!"

Unable to contain her excitement, Lilith smiled widely and screamed happily while jumping around a little.

From a distance, someone noticed the scene where Stella and Lilith were hugging with dark faces.

Her green eyes stared blankly at the happy Lilith.

She clenched her fists on her dress, biting her lips. His heart was wounded without blood, as if someone was tearing it apart. Xylia was currently surrounded by a deep sense of jealousy.

Though he who was first close to the princess, he was also the one who always played with her. But his friendship with the princess was shattered in an instant once the bright-faced daughter was present in between her relationship with Stella.

Unknowingly, a transparent black energy appeared and swirled around him.

―――

In the courtyard of Everora Palace, Stella boards a horse carriage, assisted by her father, while Dhemiel is already sitting in the carriage. Sitting beside the boy, Dhemiel immediately interrogated Stella.

"Why were you hugging Lilith? Do you know him?"

"No," Stella replied calmly. "I just want to hug her."

"What?!"

"Dhemiel, don't yell."

"Ukh...."

Seeing the warning look from his father, Dhemiel was forced to shut his mouth, then frowned again.

"By the way, happy birthday, brother."

"You're late for it."

"really. But I'm happy, aren't I?"

Dhemiel averted her eyes, not answering, but her ears turned red.

Hmm ... apparently saw a boy who blushed very spoiling the eyes.

His head had stored the memories of Esther blushing, now one more.

Oh, ja. I think I should double-check that fairy tale book. Maybe a new chapter has been added.

Thinking back on her first encounter with Lilith, Stella contemplates the contents of the fairy tale book "The Poor Princess" which sometimes always adds a new chapter each time she opens the book and reads it.

―――

Bang out!

"Aaagh! Why can you fail?!"

A person with a black hood had just kicked off his research room table. He gritted his teeth, then slammed the glass bottles of neatly arranged potions on his desk.

Prangs!

The sound of a broken glass bottle sounded loud. Glass was scattered on the floor. Liquids with different colors spilled, giving off an herbal aroma.

"Haha .. hahaha!"

The man, who was wearing a black hood, laughed, then grinned widely. His red eyes shone with danger.

"Fufu, how dare he mess up my plans!"

Emotions overflowed.

The experiment he had done on the foolish man's daughter, Xylia, had unexpectedly succeeded. But he had not had time to laugh satisfied with the results of his extraordinary work, the magic disappeared under his control.

That high-level magic vanished in an instant!

Knowing the bitter fact, he growled. The method of canceling magic was known only to him and his tribe. But his tribe is extinct, so only he knows how to undo that controlling magic. But now, all of a sudden, the magic disappeared.

Only one person can cancel it.

"Bas with princess s*lan!"

Stella is the daughter of King Shavir.

But how did he know?!

It was still a mystery that he had to solve. He could not let the little boy ruin his plan. The only way is to get rid of it.

"Zero."

He called his confidant.

"Zero to Mr. Zhil."

A man in a black robe, who had been watching him in the corner of the room, stepped over while bowing his head slightly. The brooch with a golden-coloured sword emblem that was cross-shaped was embedded in his chest, looking sparkling.

"Place the five best witches around Everstell Palace. We're gonna infiltrate."

"Good, Sir."

"They can only move after I give the order. We should be quiet for a while."

"Good, Sir."

Then the black-clad man, called Zhil, opened his hood, revealing the dark red hair that was characteristic of his tribe.

"Hm. It would be nice if I made her die like her mother."

He laughed lowly, his head imagining wildly, imagining the arrogant face of the little boy filled with fear.

"...."

His confidant, Zero, could only obey his orders. His brown eyes moved wildly.

Eliminating people who have the aura of the legendary "Goddess of Death" might be very difficult. In addition, the guard around Everstell Palace may be tightened. Then he looked at Zhil with uneasiness.

"Sorry, Mister...."

"Oh!"

Zhil, who was sitting in his chair, suddenly stood up with a glowing face, then he laughed out loud. Zero looked at him in wonder.

"Sir...?"

Zhil averted his gaze, staring at his confidant. He grinned wide.

"The controlling magic was gone, but the evil magic was again triggered and finally appeared. It seems like luck is on our side. Hehe...."

Zero shuddered when he heard his words.

The vanishing evil magic reappeared in an unexpected situation.

"Sir, that means...."

"true."

Zhil nodded with a satisfied face.

"We can control Xylia again as well as the arrogant king and his son. It's like the saying "hitting two birds with one stone". What we got is a golden bird."
