The Reincarnation Of The Poor Princess
Eighty Two (82)

All this time Zhio did not realize it because it looks vague. But now she realizes that the dark red mana that surrounds Xylia is where the magic comes from her family. The mana was clumping so it looked conspicuous in his eyes. And after observing where it was, he finally knew that it was where his father's magic was.

'How can Father's magic be on Xylia's body? Wait for. Daddy's alive?'

Zhiro froze in place.

He thought his family had not survived the tragedy, but it turned out that there was one survivor. And that person was his father, the leader of the Red tribe from the noble group of witches.

'I'm grateful you survived, but what the hell is going on with his mana surrounding Xylia?'

He had just returned from his mission, but now something unexpected happened. This proves that her father had something to do with Xylia being confused upon seeing him. Then, if his father's magic surrounds Xylia, then it means the evil magic that has been destroyed....

Deg.

'What about the princess?'

The princess, a little girl who belongs to the descendants of the magician nobility, is the reason why Xylia wants to fix her bad past after being revived.

In her memories, she tells Xylia that there is an evil magic in the girl's body that makes the princess suffer. And before he left to complete the mission his teacher had given him, he had already annihilated the evil magic so that everything would go smoothly.

Xylia who fixed her relationship with the princess would feel happy.

The princess who receives affection from her family will live happily.

And the end of their lives was happiness, unlike in the past that Xylia had in her memory.

I suppose. It should be like that.

But why did the evil magic appear again?! What exactly is the trigger?

"Dam. What exactly happened while I was gone?"

He growled in annoyance while shuffling his red hair. Then his narrowed eyes were fixed towards Xylia, who was also looking at him with a watchful expression.

'First of all, I have to solve this problem first.'

Zhio approached Xylia and extended his hand. Then something shining appeared above his palm.

...―――...

A few minutes later.

"Huh? Why am I suddenly in my room? Isn't it still morning―after night?!"

Xylia looked at the window of her room which was only covered in thin curtains with widened eyes in shock. A blackish sky with a fused blue color stretched out outside the window of his room. Countless stars seemed to be flashing rapidly. His mouth stuttered and his face turned pale.

"S-It's night...?"

The last memory Xylia had was that she went home after visiting the king and the prince who were acting strangely towards her. At first he wanted to meet the princess, but ultimately could not.

Why does time pass so quickly?

His hand unconsciously held his head.

"Why does it feel like my memories stopped here? What the hell happened to me?" he muttered with a look of shock.

Anyone would be confused and scared. It felt terrible to imagine her own memory being cut so as not to know anything she had done before.

Xylia moved her eyes quickly, trying to remember something. But his efforts were in vain. He can't remember anything.

"How's this? Did I make a mistake? Am I doing anything inappropriate in the presence of the Princess again? Uh, again...?"

As if aware of something, Xylia stiffened. His legs suddenly went limp and he sat on the cold floor of his room.

"Really! Is the Princess okay? Did I do the same thing as in the past? How'this?! Princess must be in trouble because of me!"

"You calm down, Xylia."

The voice of someone familiar in his ear was buzzing in his room. Xylia raised her face, looking at that person who was crouching in front of her.

"Zhi!"

"You finally remember me."

"Where have you been? I'm worried to know!"

"I'm glad you're worried."

Zhio smiled, continued to smile nonstop. Xylia who saw him put on a flat face. He finally regretted worrying about the boy, who returned home with a full limb, without being injured in the slightest.

"Stop that smile. Oh, then ... do you know what happened to me?"

Xylia shifted the subject. Her green eyes that looked serious made Zhio not have the heart to hide the fact from her that the evil magic appeared again.

'Well, I'm back too, so what's there to worry about? I'll help these two poor girls.'

"Well, about that...."

Finally Zhio told him everything he knew without hiding anything.

That night, the two of them discussed with each other to change the miserable future that might come.

...―――...

The one who felt her name being called, Xylia, turned to the origin of the voice with a slightly surprised face. He did not expect that he would meet Dhemiel at the entrance of Everstell Palace. Actually, this isn't too surprising. Because usually he also met this little prince when going to visit the princess.

But something is strange.

The atmosphere around them made Xylia feel strange.

It was because Dhemiel called out to him with a carefree and radiant face. Since long ago, he also always did so every time he greeted her. However, ever since they met Princess Stella for the first time, Dhemiel stopped calling her that. And after they become familiar with Princess Stella, Dhemiel begins to show hostility to her on the grounds that she "has taken her only sister".

But now, a facial expression that had long been invisible in his eyes, re-emerged.

"Well, you're here again? To visit me, huh? Ah, but why are you going this way? It's my palace, right, not here."

Dhemiel wondered with a face of astonishment, whereas Xylia who heard him was already deathly pale.

'L-again?'

"A-I visit Prince Dhemiel often?" tanyanya, stammer.

Hearing Xylia's stuttering question, Dhemiel looked at her confusedly and immediately replied, "Yes. We, right, have played a lot. With Dad too. Did you forget?"

Jeder!

The smooth answer from Dhemiel made Xylia daze for a moment, as if she had just been hit by a lightning strike. 

"Then what about the Princess?" askanya hopefully worried.

Once again, confusion struck Dhemiel. He furrowed his brows deeper and sighed.

"What, anyway? What princess? Is there a princess?"

'uh? Wh-what...?!'

Xylia's lips opened wide and she froze. Her pale face could be seen by anyone who saw her. A moment later, he turned his head to the side with a stiff neck.

"Zhio .. ba-how is this?"

Beside him, Zhio seemed to be thinking of something with a serious face. Then with a "ctak" sound emanating from the flick of his finger, Dhemiel looked startled for a moment, as if she had just realized something very important.

"Well, I just got rid of the evil magic marks that were stuck in the body of the boy and his father" he replied a moment later.

Right after the red-haired child spoke, Dhemiel looked at Xylia for a moment, then shouted in surprise, "Ah! Stella's! Where is Stella? Has he been found? Ow hell! Why am I here? I, right, have to find Stella!"

He looked annoyed with himself, before finally turning around.

"Prince! Waita minute!"

Xylia, who knew something was wrong, stopped Dhemiel with a shout.

"What was the prince talking about? The princess has not been found? What the hell is going on?" her tanyanya berdubi-tubi with a worried face that was ready to cry.

"You don't know?"

"Wh-wha?"

"Stella disappeared from the palace."

Xylia's green eyes looked shaken with that fact. It felt as if his world was being destroyed.

["It's okay. You're innocent, so don't cry."]

Those words of consolation, which were able to calm him down in an instant, were like disappearing at this moment. It was as if the remark had never existed, leaving only a deep feeling of longing without knowing when this feeling would be extinguished.

"I don't know how much time has passed. But for sure, Stella's been missing for a long time."

Time passed quickly without him knowing. That means, as long as Princess Stella disappeared, she was under the influence of evil magic. Feels sad. He was affected again by something that made his life miserable.

"Wait, what date is it?"

Dhemiel seemed to think, then shook his head. He did not remember the date today.

Then Zhio, who always checked the calendar to find out when his teacher came to him directly, replied without hesitation, "If it is not wrong now the 19th of the second month."

The expressions of Dhemiel and Xylia hardened at the same time.

"What?" they shouted in unison, looking in disbelief.

Zhio who saw their reaction tilted his head, did not understand.

"What happened to today?"

"This, isn't it, the Princess' birthday," Xylia replied quickly, which instantly made an atmosphere of silence appear around them.

"...."

"...."

Unknowingly, more than a month had passed since the disappearance of the princess from the palace. Right on his 6th birthday, the birthday celebration party that should have existed became non-existent.
