The Reincarnation Of The Poor Princess
Eighty Eights (88)

a few moments before

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Important information is coming!"

A witch ran towards King Shavir in a hurry. The magic tool in his hand was buzzing, there was a sound of noise from there.

"What's wrong?"

"I got word that the Everstell Palace was attacked!"

When the news that Stella's palace was attacked by a group of unknown people was conveyed to her, King Shavir felt like exploding.

It was fine if they wanted to attack him for the sake of fighting for the throne, but he would not tolerate the people who wanted to injure the workers in the Everstell Palace.

Because she knows that Stella loves them.

In order to protect Stella's loved ones, King Shavir prepares to return to the palace and orders Creed to protect Dhemiel, as well as stop Stella's ongoing search.

However, upon arriving at the Everstell Palace, he saw an unexpected sight.

The wounded servants tried to save themselves, while the people trapped inside the burning palace tried to escape and asked for help.

His sharp purple eyes immediately caught the mastermind behind the attack that occurred at that time. And his eyes inadvertently looked at that person's red eyes, which looked like terrifying monsters, as if they were ready to swallow him alive.

Unknowingly King Shavir touched his sword while preparing to attack. A dark purple aura emanated from his body.

"You who?" he asked in a low tone, there was an intimidating and pressing trace within his tone. "How dare you troublemaker in my palace."

But the man was not at all provoked by the king's words. He instead smiled as he rubbed his blood-soaked hands, which of course was the blood of others. His slow rubbing of his hands while smiling carelessly made him look like a crazy psychopath in need of medical treatment.

The insane behavior of the man made King Shavir cluck in his heart, sensing that it would be very troublesome to deal with such a person.

'Red eyes. That means he's strong.'

The owner of red eyes only appears once in a hundred years. And there are rumors that say that someone who has red eyes has tremendous power.

'But there have never been two owners of red eyes.'

King Shavir has seen one more person who has red eyes, the grandfather of his children, Leonard. So if there were two people who had red eyes, then it was certain that they were not descendants of the witch nobles, but rather the witch nobles themselves. If his conjecture was correct, then there were still mage nobles left and mingling with people without his identity being known.

The purple eyes of King Shavir were sharpening even more.

'But why did he attack the palace?'

The royal family had no enmity with the magician nobility, whether it was from the previous kings or the founder of the Evergard Kingdom. Since Evergard was founded, the noble family of witches has been wiped out.

If a person from the mage nobles came to attack the palace, then there must be a misunderstanding going on and he didn't know about it.

"Are you mute?"

"No," the man replied at last, still smiling. "But, Your Majesty. Why did you come back here? Didn't he say you were looking for your missing daughter?"

"That has nothing to do with you."

"Ah, really?"

The man tilted his head and made a thinking pose, looking extremely annoying in King Shavir's eyes. Moreover, his innocent face that seemed contrived to make the purple-eyed man feel nauseous when he saw it.

"It seems His Majesty did not know that the Princess would come here."

"What?"

"It turns out Your Majesty doesn't know, yes."

The blatant tone of ridicule accompanied by a wide grin on the man's face made King Shavir feel a bad premonition. It was strange when the man talked about his missing daughter instead of attacking her.

It felt like the man was targeting his daughter from the very beginning. Or was he wrong? For what a person like that who has no sanity talks about his daughter who has never even been met....

"You should feel grateful to me because your missing daughter is coming here soon. So you can get together one last time before you go to the afterlife."

There was a giggling voice at the end of the man's sentence, which spoke of death in a calm voice.

When he saw the man's attitude, a belief emerged in King Shavir's mind that something he feared for his entire life was about to happen. The shadow of him who could not save his family for the second time appeared in his mind, haunting him.

And now the shadow has come true.

His purple eyes trembled with a feeling of fear and worry, staring at his only daughter who was being held with a magic seal by the mad man, piercing his heart.

"Stella―!"

Criyip!

And before he finished speaking, a golden light came out of nowhere, forming a vortex around Stella like a storm, blinding the eyes of the people.

"Ugh...!"

Everyone closed their eyes, even the red-eyed man closed his eyes, not expecting this to happen.

And just like that, a well-planned fight by someone ended in failure.

...―――...

"Your Majesty, rest for a moment. You haven't eaten anything for three days," Creed said in a persuasive tone, addressed to his master who for three days had never left the princess' side. "I know that you feel guilty for not being able to protect the Princess, but you should not torture yourself like this. At least you have to live in order to correct your mistakes" he continued firmly, moving King Shavir's heart when he heard the words "fix mistakes".

"Yes. All right," he replied, though reluctantly.

"Finally...."

Creed was relieved, after which went out of the room with the king towards the dining room. There, they find Dhemiel and a female servant, who is none other than Suzy. The woman wanted to pay her respects, but was soon stopped by King Shavir.

"I'll just eat."

"Well, Your Majesty," Suzy replied obediently, then started serving food. "I'm happy because His Majesty is finally willing to rest. You should still eat even a little. You should also stay healthy until the Princess wakes up."

King Shavir was silent, but listened to the servant girl's words. His purple eyes turned to Dhemiel, who was sitting opposite him with a lethargic face.

"Your face is not fine, Dhemiel," he said calmly, but implied a worried tone in his speech.

"I'm fine, Dad," Dhemiel replied without taking her eyes off her food.

He lifted his fork, but then stopped. Her lips twitched and her eyes began to glaze over.

"It's not like I'm healthy, Stella ... Stella ... Stella, hick, huwaaaaaa!!"

He started to shed tears again, just like the days before. Suzy quickly took the handkerchief and gave it to Dhemiel, while Creed looked at the little prince bitterly.

Tak.

The sound of the cutlery coming into contact with the plate was heard. King Shavir put down his spoon and fork, then got up and approached his son.

"Stella's gonna wake up, Dhemiel. He'll be fine" he said.

Dhemiel looked at her father and wept even more.

"But! But Stella...!"

"He'll be fine."

"Yahwaaaa! Stellaa!!"

The warm embrace between the two made the originally sad atmosphere even more sad. Suzy rubbed her reddened eyes and nodded her head.

'The Princess will be fine. Because he is a strong man.'

Everyone thinks so. Until it happens.

...―――...

Next day.

The warm morning sun shone on everyone's mood. Just a moment ago, the princess who had yet to awaken herself, moved her fingers.

Everyone waited anxiously after the doctor informed him that the princess would come to her senses in a moment.

As minute by minute passed and everything began to erase that hope, that was when the girl's eyelids trembled.

"Uhh...."

The sound of a small groan coming out of his mouth rang out, taking over the attention of those around him.

"Stella's! Are you all right?"

"Stella!"

"Mr Princess!"

However, when his brows furrowed, and the man standing beside him called out to him in panic, that was when confusion was seen in those red eyes.

"Who ... who? I don't know you...."

Deg.

The eyes of everyone in the room widened.

"I .. I can't remember anything...."

The beginning of a new life begins here.
