The Reincarnation Of The Poor Princess
The Eighty Six (86)

The desolate atmosphere that enveloped the Everstell Palace was now slowly filled with the presence of people. Several servants walked in different directions, busying themselves, before finally the empty palace was filled with other servants who had just returned from the temple.

"Look, right? We've been praying at the temple since the Princess disappeared, and he says now His Majesty the King knows where the Princess is!"

"Yes, I'm so happy! It turns out that our efforts were not in vain!"

"God really does exist! From now on, I will visit the temple often!"

"Me too! Me too!"

"Hey, the Princess will be home soon. Let's get ready!"

"Yes, yeah! Come on!"

The servants who had just come accelerated their footsteps towards the entrance of the Everstell Palace. A happy smile expands on their faces, including Suzy who just arrived together with Bonnie and Lucca. They carried a colorful bouquet of flowers in each other's hands.

"I can't wait to see the Princess's face!" bonnie exclaimed with a reddish hue on her cheek, then imagined Princess Stella who had not been found for a long time to be more cute. "Definitely the Princess will say "Gee, it has not been a long time since I have met you! I miss you guys!", don't I? Yeah, right?!"

"Mr Princess would definitely not say that," Lucca denied with a stern face, making Bonnie puff her cheeks in annoyance. Then Lucca continued with a still serious expression, "But I'm sure he'll hold us."

"Well, Lucca! Your imagination is wilder than mine!"

Bonnie exclaimed with a dumbfounded face, which either included criticism or praise. Then he nodded with a radiant face.

"But I agree with you!"

Then their chatter mixed with the sound of laughter slowly disguised as the two walked faster.

'They're cute kids.'

Seeing Bonnie and Lucca actively expressing their feelings, Suzy smiled gently. Then his blue eyes looked at the bluish sky while covering his eyes from the scorching sun.

'Mr Princess, I hope to meet you now.'

He lowered his hand slowly while focusing his gaze forward, then took a light step towards the entrance of the Everstell Palace.

Rover, srek.

"Hm?"

The sound of falling leaves took over Suzy's attention. He stared at some of the trees that were near the gates of the Everstell Palace. The leaves of those trees that swayed even though there was no wind made a suspicious feeling arise in his heart.

"The chirp! The chirp!"

Until finally the sound of a bird that perched on the tree trunk was heard and made Suzy sigh in relief. He noticed that there were about three ordinary birds perched there, which seemed to be a family.

'Well, I think what's up.'

The suspicious feeling had arisen because he thought that there was an intruder lurking in the Everstell Palace. This could have happened because the king and heir to the throne were not in the palace. If the nobles knew, they would probably try every means to criticize the king blatantly on the grounds of "ignoring the duties of the state".

'Your Highness, Prince, and Princess. Hurry back.'

Suzy prayed anxiously in her heart, after which she turned around. However, the sound of leaves that again sounded bothering him.

Rover, srek.

'Duh, what's up now, anyway!'

Swuuungg―!

Suzy's green eyes widened in shock when she felt something approaching her. He immediately dodged with a terrified expression. The bouquet of flowers in his hand fell to the ground.

Then a reddish fireball that came out of nowhere passed through it. Surprised, his body suddenly froze before finally the sound of an explosion sounded.

Booms!

"Yaw!!"

Everstell Palace, where she shared her memories with the princess and other servants, exploded and caught fire, causing a slight shock to the ground. The screams of the servants trying to escape rang out in succession.

"W-what...."

His legs trembled to the point of being unable to support his body and a "bruck" sound was heard.

"What really happened...?"

'Padahan .. when nothing happened! There were still people laughing and chatting! Though ... was still fine....'

"Hiks! Heuk..., hiks! Ugh...!"

There was nothing he could do but sit with his body trembling on the ground. Tears flowed from her eyelids profusely.

Tap, tap, tap.

The footsteps of someone who stopped behind her made Suzy stop crying and look back expectantly, hoping that the one who came was her daughter's master. But―

"Hi? Apparently the attack missed, huh?"

Deg.

Suzy's eyes quivered in fear when she saw the man in front of her. The typical grin of a murderer appeared on the man's face. The black robes on his body that looked suspicious added to the evil and cruel impression of that person. Do not forget the reddish fireball that floated above his hand, proving that he was the mastermind of the attack earlier.

'Where did this madman come from?!'

"Who are you?! How dare you...!"

"Hm? Oh, looks like you're fit to be a hostage, huh?"

The sudden remark from that person made Suzy move backwards. Dangerous. That guy's dangerous. The sound of danger signs rang in his mind repeatedly. The phrase "escape" immediately flashed through his mind.

Suzy immediately got up and tried to run away as those creepy red eyes looked at her.

"Where are you going?"

"Agdhh!"

However, the man first gripped his hand and banged it on the ground.

"Yeah!"

"It's very noisy" said the man in a dislike tone. "You think you can run away from me?"

"Who are you?! And why are you attacking servants like us?!"

"I need a hostage" the man replied with a vile grin. "If the princess knew that her favorite person was in danger, wouldn't she come back?"

Suzy's blue eyes opened wide when she heard the man's words.

'D-he's talking about the Princess...!'

...―――...

"Ester, I'm going first."

"Wait a minute, Miss Ellia!"

Stella had to turn around and look at Esther, who was thrusting her little finger.

"Promise."

"Make?"

"We'll meet again. Can Miss Ellia promise me that?"

Looking at Esther who had a serious expression and slightly blushed, Stella blinked, thinking that the boy was eager to meet her.

'This is how you like me?'

"Yes. I promise."

'Because soon you will know that "Miss Ellia" and "Daughter of Stella" are the same person, ' Stella continued in her heart.

"Gee...."

Ester's sparkling blue eyes immediately stared at Stella. Then his fingers moved to grip the hands of the opposite sex. 

"Thank you!"

"Ya―"

"HIS MAJESTY THE PRINCE!"

The sound of someone's urgent cry took over the attention of Stella and Esther. Even Dhemiel who had been desperate was immediately made to wake up from his delusion thanks to that loud shout.

"Prince!!"

King Shavir's personal bodyguard, Creed, ran over to Dhemiel with a gasp of breath, evidence that he was running from far away.

"Why? Has Stella been found?"

"Not that! Haahh .. hosh, hosh...."

"Then what?"

"I ... palace! The palace! The palace!"

"Yes, palace! Did something happen in the palace?!" timpal Dhemiel was upset while shaking Creed's arm.

"Stana's attacked!"

Deg.

"What's? How can?!"

"Then from that, you should hide in a safe place now! His Majesty the King has returned first, so let him take care of this matter" Creed explained as he held Dhemiel's hand. "I'm sorry if I'm presumptuous, but you have to come with me."

"What the fuck!"

Dhemiel brushed Creed's hand off violently. Angry, that's how he feels now. The palace was in danger and his father was there, so why did he have to hide?

"Please understand!" talk to Creed with a worried expression. "When the palace is attacked, you as the heir to the throne must be protected!"

"But still, Dad's there...!"

"You're not strong enough, Prince."

Dhemiel gritted her teeth upon hearing Creed's words, which were the truth. He was not good at magic, nor was he good at swinging swords and fighting. That's why he's always playing around, because there's nothing he can do. Now he felt regretful and useless for not being able to help.

"Come with me, Prince."

Dhemiel bit her lower lip in dismay, after which she nodded forcefully.

"... Yes, I ik―"

"Whose palace was attacked?"

The question of someone cutting Dhemiel's speech.

Creed shifted his gaze, looking at the red eyes of a girl who looked as red as blood. He choked up, then realized that it was the girl who became the hottest topic of conversation in the capital; the owner of the red eyes was extremely rare!

"You-you...."

"I asked, whose palace was attacked?"

"I-it ... Everstell Palace."

"!!"

"Stella's country?!"

"The palace belongs to the Princess?!"

The expressions of the three little ones were the same. Surprise flashed in their eyes.

Stella frowned, thinking which madman would dare to attack her palace. Compared to his palace, it made more sense that the invader attacked the king's palace or the heir to the throne. But it is strange that the man attacked his palace, which was abandoned by him, had no precious or luxurious items stored there, and was only guarded by servants who could not fight―!

That's when Stella's red eyes lit up.

'Ah! Suzy!'s!'

His servant, Suzy, who had been taking care of him since the baby until now, was there. No one knows if he is alive, injured, dying, or.

Nyut....

His chest was painful, like something was stinging him. Feels painful.

'No! Suzy can't die!'

Suzy can't die yet. Not for now. She had to live a long life to meet her previous employer, the queen. He also has to live to meet the real Princess Stella. Suzy can't die!

"Miss Ellia! Where are you going?!"

Esther shouted behind him while trying to catch up, but Stella did not care.

He was only focused on Suzy's safety now. His feet quickly stepped towards the Rainbow Door was located, the door connecting between Sora and Evergard. He had to quickly get to the palace before anything bad happened.

"Miss Ellia! Wait!"

"Don't come after me again! I have urgent business!"

"Will Miss go to the palace?"

Stella stopped walking. He looked up and looked at Esther. "How did you know?" he said that sounded like a growl.

Esther stopped following and looked at "Miss Ellia" nervously as she replied, "Ah, that's because it seems like Miss wants to help Her Majesty. You ... look very angry when you know that the palace is under attack. So I thought so."

"... Yeah, that's right."

"So, let me come too!"

"Huh?"

"I want to come too!" dhemiel who was suddenly next to Esther. "Let me come along too."

"But, Prince...!"

Creed tries to stop him, but the boy insists on coming along. Firmness was etched on his face which usually looked childish.

"I can't leave Dad alone in there! Although I cannot fight, I can at least help the injured people to escape. So, let me come!"

"Good."

Stella accepted the offer of the two of them without thinking. The more people who help, the better the results. After all, it was time for everyone to know the true identity of Princess Stella that was never revealed.

He was the Commander of the Eternal Flame, the owner of the aura of the legendary Death Goddess, the controller of the shadow demon, the master of a majestic dragon, and the owner of rare red eyes and blonde hair!

'Dare to disturb my people, you will get my reply many times over. I'll make you die rather than live.'

"Now, let's go back to the palace."
