The Reincarnation Of The Poor Princess
The Eighty Five (85)

It's been a week since Stella signed with Thev. The black dragon regained its magic power slowly.

During that same week, Thev passed on his knowledge of magic to Stella, who was now his master. Then Stella practiced applying various kinds of magic that Thev inherited seriously and deftly. And it didn't take long, Stella managed to master all kinds of magic.

Then, in order not to create a furore, Thev changed its shape into a bracelet and lived coiled around Stella's wrist on the right. The current shape is made not too fancy and is suitable for a princess, so no one will assume that the bracelet looks strange or unique.

Now, all the preparations needed to survive were finished.

"Mother."

The daughter, who was a genius and great in magic, was now sitting on her knees near the glass coffin, where her mother was lying. His red eyes looked at his mother gently, while both of his palms that touched the glass of the crate emitted a beautiful blue radiance.

"I'm going to go. But you take it easy, I'll be right back. Therefore, wait for me here."

Her small lips were soft-spoken, there was no trace of coldness and sharpness in her tone, which usually spoke in such a tone. There is only visible affection for a woman that is very precious to her.

However, no answer came, but the girl continued.

"I've slowed down time here, so nothing will happen as long as I'm gone. Then...."

Stella got up, then kissed the glass case.

"I'll go first, Mom. See you soon."

Soon after, Thev changes his form into a dragon. Stella climbed onto Thev's back and flew away leaving the lower dimension. A cool breeze that blew slowly welcomed their arrival. After landing on the snowy ground that existed in the Aros Mountains, the hole that became the exit was closed, as if it had never existed.

"...."

Even though the hole was already closed, Stella still looked at the place with empty eyes. A moment later, he blinked his eyes a few times.

'No. I can't falter. If you want to see Mom again, I need to quickly find the antidote to the poison.'

He remembered Thev's words about the antidote to Lakshire's poison. It only existed in the demon territory and was an extremely rare material. Stella knew that she could not go to the place where the demons lived, so the quickest way was to ask her family for help in finding the antidote. Perhaps the antidote to the poison could have been made by a royal grand mage or was a royal treasured treasure. Such a coincidence could also happen. Therefore, he had to return to the palace today.

After all, those who were there were also entitled to know that the royal queen, the legitimate wife of the only king, and the mother of a prince and princess, who was rumored to have died, were in fact still alive.

They have a right to know that truth. Primarily....

Stella recalls one passage in the fairy tale The Poor Princess, which describes how King Shavir loved his wife, Alexa, which is affirmed repeatedly in the book as the beginning of the suffering experienced by the original Princess Stella.

'He must also know this reality....'

Then Stella looked at Thev and asked him to turn back into a bracelet. After that, he turned around but then stopped.

Deg.

It would be a shock when Stella met two unexpected people in a place like this.

"Ester?"

His red eyes were fixed with Ester's blue eyes which also looked startled. Then, someone standing next to Esther made Stella freeze.

And....

'Sister?'

Stella almost made that call. In front of him, Esther and Dhemiel stood up while looking at him with a shocked look.

'Why are they here?'

...―――...

The failure of obtaining the Red Crystal Fruit caused a huge blow to the magicians who came to the Aros Mountains. Moreover, they were defeated by a horde of giant cats before getting the fruit. The big news made the residence of Duke Ronnight and Count Nidlock become gloomy for a while. However, the gloom did not last long when they got another news that was no less far more splashy than the previous news.

A little boy with red eyes has appeared!!

The news caused a huge commotion among the witches, especially the few mages who had met directly with the owner of those red eyes. The news quickly spread by word of mouth, until it finally spread to the capital, which is now the hottest topic of conversation this year.

Later, Esther, hearing the news from Nicole, asked her uncle for permission to go to the Aros Mountains. She is very excited because her hard-to-find first love will finally meet her soon. And so the story of how Esther came to an end in the Aros Mountains.

"Miss Ellia! Haven't seen you in a long time! Do you still remember me?"

The manners of the nobles that Esther had painstakingly studied disappeared in an instant. He spoke cheerfully while clasping the hands of the beautiful daughter in front of him, even using formal language, showing respect. The wide smile on his face looked charming. His face and ears were red so happy to meet the person he liked after so long.

"I'm .. I'm the one Miss Ellia saved in the woods! Do you remember me?"

That charged sparkling gaze made Stella forced to nod, although at first she wanted to pretend to be unfamiliar, but it seemed impossible.

"Ah, yes. I remember."

"really?! I'm so glad you remember me!"

For some reason, Stella suddenly became upset. Although "Princess Stella" and "Miss Ellia" are the same person, Esther is still legally her fiance. If she saw firsthand that her fiance met another woman and looked very happy, then she would definitely be very upset.

'Uh, why am I suddenly upset? This is, 'right, a political engagement!'

After coming to her senses with what she had just thought, Stella subconsciously brushed aside the hand of Esther holding her hand.

"ah! Forgive me!"

Esther quickly apologized with watery eyes, thinking she had made a mistake. However, it again made Stella upset.

"No need to apologize," Stella replied in a crisp tone, then walked past Esther. "Surge. You're blocking my way."

The cynical words made Esther pull over with a confused expression, then she looked agitated and tried to follow Stella.

"Did I make a mistake?"

"Yes. Big mistake."

It was not Stella who answered, but Dhemiel, who had observed the romance drama clapping one hand in front of her. The boy's expression was so cold.

"How dare you like another woman after getting engaged to my sister."

'He represents my heart.'

Stella silently approved Dhemiel's remark, then glanced at Esther, who had a stern face.

"Sorry, Prince. But I told you before, I don't like the Princess and this engagement is just a political deal."

"Then you should have kept my brother's dignity. If you want to make out with another woman, do it secretly."

"But, Prince. There's only three of us here. So, I want to do anything here, no one will see. Especially making out."

Ctarrr!

The two men's eyes met and stared at each other intently. Laser light and lightning became the hallmark of their atmosphere.

'Idiots. Those two people are the same person, you know.'

Stella cursed the two in her heart, then left. However, his steps came to a halt when a fact suddenly flashed through his mind. He turned his head towards Dhemiel, who was still fighting with Esther.

'He knew he had a sister?'

A bitter memory in the day when he saw the harmonious scene between King Shavir and Dhemiel with Xylia appeared in his head. Just then, they spoke to each other familiarly, as if forgetting about his presence. But now, Dhemiel remembered about him.

Dhemiel's voice that came next messed up Stella's mind.

"You can't make out right now. Remember the purpose for which we came here. Said you wanted to help me find Stella, remember?"

"Of course I remember, Prince. But let me talk to him for a second...."

The sound of their conversation slowly began to blur. Stella sharpened her ears when she heard the purpose of the two men coming here. A confused expression emanated on his face even for a moment. It seemed like something had happened in the palace when he was in the lower dimension, and that something must have been related to him.

'I have to investigate this.'

Slowly his footsteps approached the two boys, who were still chatting.

"Hey."

Esther and Dhemiel's attention quickly turned to Stella, who crossed her arms.

"What happened to the Princess?"

Dhemiel did not answer, but instead asked, "You know Stella?"

Stella had already predicted that such a question would come, so she nodded and began to explain, which was of course a lie, "So this way, I know the Princess but we are not close."

Silence arises. Dhemiel looked at him with a hesitant look knowing that his sister was unlikely to be friends with someone outside the palace due to his cold personality. Then Stella who understood the meaning of the boy's view immediately gave an explanation again.

"I met him here...."

"What's? Really true?! Then what happened? Is Stella okay?!"

Stella's unfinished speech was immediately cut with high-pitched questions. Dhemiel urged him to answer with a fiery look.

"Ah, yes. When we met here, that's where we knew each other. But like I said, we're not close" Stella replied fluently, adding a lot of lies in her sentence. "He also looks sad...."

"What's? Is Stella crying?!"

"Ck. So don't cut my words first!" stella replied in annoyance while putting away Dhemiel's hand that shook her body. "He just looks sad. But I don't know why he's sad."

'Yes because you, it is, ' his ideal in the heart which refers to the king and the prince, represents the feelings of all readers.

Then he saw Dhemiel who looked desperate, as if imagining in his mind how his little sister who rarely expressed suddenly had a sad look on her face.

'See that. What he thought was visible on his face.'

Stella crossed her arms again and asked, "So, how did you guys know that the Princess is here?"

"Oh, that...."

Esther glanced at Dhemiel, who still had a look of despair on her face, then she sighed and told what she knew.

"There's someone telling us that the Princess's magic trail ends here."

'Who?'

"May I know who said it?"

Esther seemed to consider whether to answer honestly or not, before finally making a decision.

"Because I trust Miss Ellia, so I'm sure Miss won't divulge this to anyone."

"Oh, okay."

'Then say it quickly!'

"There was a great witch in the palace who tracked the Princess' magic trail through .. emm, a book?"

"Book...?"

'Huh!'

Stella involuntarily gasped. His thoughts soon lead to the fabled book The Poor Princess which is under his pillow. If it wasn't the book that was found, it could have been the large magic book that was found and it was the book that was used to trace its magic traces. However, for some reason, his mind was fixed on the direction of the fairy tale book.

"The magician was so great that he knew the traces of the Princess magic that ended up in the place so far."

'I didn't know there were witches in the palace!'

"So, who is he?"

"Hmm, I don't remember his name. But I remember that she was always with Miss Fictin."

The word "Miss Fictin" reminds Stella of Xylia. Then, someone who was always together with Xylia, had great magic knowledge, and could even enter the palace without being suspected by anyone.... If such a person exists, then such traits are fixed on....

"*I'm curious about you."

"I know that you're cursing me*."

"Surprisingly, there is only one family that has such holy purification magic as yours. It was the noble family of witches, the first witch family to become extinct."

A person with red hair and his annoying nature appeared in Stella's mind.

'Zhi!'

That must be him. There was no one close to Xylia other than the red-haired boy.

"Then after that, His Majesty the King came to find the Princess here. He's in another area."

'uh? Besides the prince, the king is coming?'

"There are many witches deployed as well. That's why we're here. Ah, some witches from my uncle's family also came here. Well, that's because I'm the fiancee of the Princess."

'uh? There is also help from the upper class nobles?'

... But wait.

Stella felt awkward, as if she had just missed something. From Esther's explanation, she learns that the king intervened himself to look for her, she also brought many witches, and Dhemiel as the crown prince also took part in the search for "Princess Stella in the Aros Mountains".

If now the king and successor to the throne were here, then who would protect the palace other than the knights?

Stella suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

'I have to go back to the palace now.'
