The Reincarnation Of The Poor Princess
The One Hundred (100)

"Mother is alive?"

"What does that mean, Stella?"

In the doorway, Stella saw King Shavir and Dhemiel standing pensively, behind the two was a restless-looking Rielle.

'Why are they here?!'

Stella stared at Rielle sharply, while the object she stared at was only able to apologize in panic.

Leonard who witnessed the unexpected situation immediately gave the order, "You can get out, Rielle."

"good. Then excuse me first."

Rielle resigned, followed by a closed door. Now there is only silence that dominates the room. Everyone looked at each other in one direction. To where Stella is.

"Stella's." The first person to break the silence was King Shavir. He approached his daughter, then knelt before the child. "... What the hell is going on?"

Stella was silent, she chose to avoid her father's gaze.

"Stella," called King Shavir in a persuasive tone. He was silent for a moment, trying to gather his courage. Lastly, she asked in a trembling voice, "Is....your mother still alive? Is that true?"

"...."

Stella looked back at her father. The red iris flashed sharply, emitting hostility.

He knew this upset feeling would not be easily lost. It felt like he was being humiliated because they conspired to lie to him. Not a lie a day two days, but almost three years!

But from their point of view, it was the right decision.

'... Yep. Because they don't know anything about Mom. If they found out, Dad couldn't have given me a false memory.'

Stella regulates her emotions. Trying to be calm as he was.

'They also deserve to know, ' right....'

Stella steadied her heart. For a moment he felt a deep bitterness piercing through his heart.

'I should have told them first. After all, I am a stranger in this world.'

In fact, he is a stranger in this world. However, Stella wants to be selfish and says that she is attached to this world. That's because he lives here. If indeed he could not return to his world, wouldn't it mean that he should live in this world and accept them as his family?

Alexa is her mother. Shavir is his father. And Dhemiel is his sister. Stella must accept this fact.

As the husband of his mother, King Shavir was entitled to know the state of his wife. Dhemiel was also the first child.

No matter what the situation, sooner or later this news will be revealed. And maybe this is a good time to tell them.

"Yes. Is correct...." Stella opened her small mouth and conveyed the truth she had been harboring with a raucous voice. "Mother is still alive."

It was at that moment that a wave of shock surrounded the three people.

...――― ...

Time passes quickly.

Stella's 9th birthday party has finally begun. Although it was not as massively celebrated as the crown prince's birthday party, but all the workers were busy working on their respective parts. Especially the servants of Everstell Palace who had been pacing around the palace for days.

The party will be held in the ballroom of Evercius Palace, the only party venue that is very special because it is used only for the party of the establishment of the country and the birthday of the king only.

Therefore, rumors that King Shavir allowed Evercius Palace ballroom for Princess Stella's birthday party has spread quickly and become the lips of the people.

Many noblewomen spoke of King Shavir being like an ice man had already been crushed against his daughter.

They secretly agreed to the rumors and bet on each other about who was more dear to the king, between his biological daughter or his nephew.

"That is the content of the rumors circulating in the capital, Princess." Bonnie, one of Stella's closest servants, reports on what she observed recently.

"Hm." Stella tapped on the table, propping up her chin. "Yes already. Go."

"Ah, fine." Bonnie looked puzzled, finally after a long pause she bowed respectfully and resigned herself. "I'm waiting for your next order, Princess. Then, excuse me first."

After Bonnie left, Stella dissolved in a silent silence. He thought that the rumors were wrong. Because in fact, ever since the accidental meeting between himself and King Shavir at the Eternal Flame Main Headquarters, that man seemed to avoid it. Dhemiel is the same. The father and son seemed to avoid Stella, even if they did not greet each other, just a quick glance and leave. The habit of eating together also either since when not done again.

Stella was certainly happy because there was no need to face them, but on the one hand she felt the corner of her heart was empty. This feeling made him nervous.

'It must be because of habit.' Stella sat in the face while continuing to knock on the table. 'I'll also get used to being alone, like I used to be. Yeah, definitely.'

Stella's eyelids are closed. "Huh. It felt lonely," he murmured faintly.

'The thought of meeting them at my birthday party this afternoon made me tired. What do I have to say, huh? Pardon you? Thanks for the gift? Hm....'

Stella thought hard, then shook her head.

"Why apologize and say thank you? I shouldn't care about them."

As he thought about it, Nigreous appeared with black smoke mixed with blue and purple surrounding him.

"Miss."

Heavy and low sounds were heard. Stella dilated her pupils, surprised. Nigreous can talk!

"Niggy, you...."

"Toxic."

Stella furrowed her brows. "What?"

Nigreous spoke again with a frenzy, "Poison. Beverages. Fiesta."

"What do you mean..There is poison in the drink that will be served at my party?" stella speculated.

Nigreous nodded. "Yes. Poison. Die."

The deg!

Stella stood up from her seat. Without a second thought he immediately teleported towards the ballroom of Evercius Palace. "Sum!" emotional scream. Breathing gasps. "Sum!"

"Good God, Princess!" Suzy ran over to Stella who appeared suddenly. He seemed surprised and confused. "What's up, Princess? Why are you here?"

"Drinks!" exciting Stella. Breathing faltered. "Where will the drink be served to my family?!"

Prangg!

The glass glass filled with the drink instantly broke when Stella threw it using her magic. All who witnessed the incident took a breath, dumbfounded. Momentary silence. Until finally Stella's loud speech resuscitated everyone.

"Call the royal doctor! Check if this drink is poisonous! Have them check everything! Hurry along!" stella orders absolute with a sharp eye highlight. The red iris is shiny. Anger rages there. "Then, gather all the workers in charge of taking care of the portion of the dish. Now!" he added.

"Well, Princess!"

Before Stella's 9th birthday party, a big mess ensues.

It was found that there was a poison in the drink that would be provided to the members of the royal family. Not just ordinary paralyzing poison, but this is a deadly poison that makes the nerves in the body stop and can not work properly.

Thev, as a winged monster who contracted with Stella, detected an irregularity.

The poison of the cripple is the poison of Lakshire. The same poison that eats away at Alexa's body.

This was the second time Thev saw the poison Lakshire being used by humans to do evil.

What really happened to the demons? Is that a guard in their territory so that the "ancient poison of the demon world" can be reached by ordinary humans?

...――― ...

"Eh? What's going on?"

The little girl rubbed the ends of her hair, noticing the blonde color on which her hair was slowly fading. Now the hair is completely dark brown.

Bizarrely.

Xylia frowning. "Why did my hair change color?" confused muttering. "I don't remember any change like this."

...――― ...

"How are you doing?"

Stella's attention turned to that heavy voice. He nodded slowly. "I'm fine" he answered briefly.

King Shavir did not respond. He just breathed a sigh of relief. Unknowingly his hand reached out to Stella's head, gently rubbing her daughter's hair. "Rest," he said gently, then turned away. The man's purple eyes shone sharply at the palace knights. "Strict security in every corner of the palace. Find the mastermind who poisoned the drink for the Princess's party. If necessary bring him before me alive!"

"Ready-done!" reply them while saluting.

After that King Shavir left, interspersed with the closed door of the room. There was a noise of shoes from outside, indicating that some knights were placed in front of the door to keep the princess safe.

Stella fluttered in place, still staring at the door. Slowly his hand was raised, touching the part of his head that was rubbed earlier. 

"What is this..," he murmured faintly. A strange feeling spread in his heart. "Why does he care anymore?"

For the time being, Stella was transferred to the king's private room. Yes, he was currently in Evercius Palace, precisely inside King Shavir's room.

...――― ...

"Stella, are you okay? No one was hurt, right?"

Stella looked over, then nodded briefly. He closed his eyes again, indifferent to the whereabouts of Dhemiel beside him. Five minutes had passed since Dhemiel visited him. An anxious expression flashed in the boy's eyes. Stella knew that Dhemiel was worried about her, but she came back cold, like she did.

"What business are you doing here?" stella asked without opening her eyes.

"I'm worried" Dhemiel replied honestly. "I'm sorry I didn't care. I just need some time alone to accept the fact that Mom's alive. It was like a dream."

"Hm. It's just natural."

Dhemiel. He looked warmly at Stella. "I'm thrilled. Hope that someday our family can get together.I don't think that hope can still be fulfilled."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Thank you for telling me the truth" Dhemiel said sincerely. He held Stella's hand. "It must be hard for you to hide it from me and Dad."

"... Not that heavy."

Stella opened her eyelids. Lying that she said hiding the truth about her mother wasn't hard. In fact, this is very burdensome. It was as if there was a huge burden on his shoulders. However, after stating the truth, it somehow felt a relief.

Stella's red eyes glanced at Dhemiel, then she stiffened.

Dhemiel smiled so sweetly that her eyes narrowed. Reddish cheeks. "I didn't think it was a very small sister when I hugged her that day, it was already big and very brave." A speck of clear liquid flowed from the corner of his eye.

"Perhaps, that time was Mom's best decision to save us at the cost of her life."

Stella froze when she heard that phrase.

Perhaps, that time was Mother's best decision to save us at the cost of her life.

This is a clue that Dhemiel witnessed the tragic incident when he was very young.

"But I'm glad that you're alive. I hope we can see Mom soon. Hehe."

Stella's eyes warmed up the moment she heard it. His heart ached as if a sharp object was stuck there. If she had known that Dhemiel witnessed firsthand how her mother disappeared, Stella would have told Alexa the truth sooner. That way, they could find an antidote to Lakshire poison early. However, it was just wishful thinking. Regrets always come too late.

"... I'm going to the International Guild Tournament." Stella reveals her plan. Dhemiel silently watched. "As Commander of Eternal Flame and Princess of Evergard. So, please support me, brother."

Dhemiel felt her heart thump. That call. He finally heard it again. A warm smile immediately rose on his face. "Yes. Sure."
