The Reincarnation Of The Poor Princess
Thirty Eights (38)

On a long, cold night, Stella sat on the balcony of her room, feeling the gust of the night breeze while contemplating, she was still thinking about Xylia's words this afternoon.

Xylia is indeed ambitious to occupy the seat of the "royal daughter" that Princess Stella has because of the teachings of her greedy father, but that was before she was reborn after dying in prison with the status of "prisoner of war".

The reason why King Shavir and Dhemiel acted so viciously on Princess Stella was because of the influence of the evil magic planted on Xylia's body. The evil magic brought comfort to King Shavir and Dhemiel when they were near Xylia. Meanwhile, the influence of evil magic made them not want to be close to Princess Stella and hate her.

Initially, Xylia did not know about the evil magic that was in her body until the day of her first death. However, after being reborn and returning to the past when she was 4 years old, Xylia learned from Zhio that there was evil magic planted in her body since she was born. After that, Zhio dispelled the evil magic that was in Xylia's body, thus making King Shavir and Dhemiel― who used to be close to Xylia― become ordinary when adjacent to him, he said, not like I used to feel like I wanted to stick with him.

After the evil magic in Xylia's body disappears, King Shavir and Dhemiel are freed from the influence of the magic. When they got close to Stella, there was a comforting and soothing feeling running through their bodies. That is because in Stella's body there is a very pure and holy purification magic, said Zhio, conveyed by Xylia.

Then, for the reason that King Shavir had travelled with Xylia at previous times, it was because they were bound by a contract of agreement.

The warmth, harmony, happiness, and kinship that King Shavir and Xylia showed to the public was a mere charade, they were not really like that.

The contract signed by King Shavir and Xylia was about the safety of the members of the royal family, which referred to Dhemiel and Stella.

The first person to apply for the contract was Xylia, exactly a year ago, and King Shavir agreed to the contract, because he thought it was in his favor.

So, the reason why the plot of a fairy tale book was different from the one that Stella lived in was because of Xylia.

"It's worth the ice man and Dhemiel suddenly came to my attention. So, in that fairy tale book they were exposed to the evil magic of Xylia, which is why Princess Stella was exiled."

However, Stella still does not know what kind of "something" brings her into the world of this fairy tale book and makes Xylia return to the past.

"Is this good news? The ice man won't kill me, Dhemiel thinks of me as his sister and tries to be a good sister, and Xylia doesn't have any bad intentions for me either." Stella thought again. "But the problem is Xylia's father...."

In the fairy tale book that Stella read, it is clearly stated that her uncle―alias father Xylia― poisoned Xylia and Princess Stella was accused of being the culprit. The man will do anything to get what he wants, including sacrificing his own daughter. It is clear that such a person is very dangerous.

"I have to be careful" Stella said, then picked up the stationery and started writing everything that happened today on the paper. When Stella wrote a few sentences, her hand stopped. "Do I have to cancel my previous plans?"

The plan Stella meant was her plan of surviving in the palace while collecting treasures and connections from someone influential, after which leaving the palace and trying to find a way home to her world. It was his plan to escape death.

But everything changed.

So, does he need to execute his plan?

"Hm .. I already have a weapon, I've also gone so far, so it's better if I keep my plan going."

Stella decided that she would stick to her plan, then she went back to writing.

Swoosh―

The wind blows hard. Slowly, someone appeared next to Stella, on the balcony of her room.

"Sorry to interrupt your time, Princess."

The voice of a child is heard. Stella turned her head, looking towards the red-haired little boy who suddenly appeared beside her. Stella's cold and sharp gaze was immediately flashed on the boy.

"I've told you before: you can't enter someone's palace at will."

The boy replied lazily, "I don't care."

"... Then why did you come?" Stella changed the subject, she did not want to get too late in the annoyance she got from Zhio. "If it doesn't matter, go there."

Zhio, who was standing beside Stella, suddenly asked an unexpected question.

"Which family is your mother from?"

The deg!

Stella flinched, her eyes twitching. He did not expect that Zhio would ask that question.

Finally, after being silent for a while, Stella replied with an expressionless face, "I don't know. Is that important?"

"important? Hm ... maybe?" Zhiro seemed to think. He also did not know whether the question was important or not. Then her blue eyes turned to stare at Stella. "I'm just curious. You must have heard from Xylia about the purification magic in your body."

"Yes." Yeah."

Stella remained silent. To be honest, he knew nothing about his mother in this world, so he did not know what to say.

"Surprisingly, there is only one family that has such holy purification magic as yours." Zhio's words took over Stella's attention. "It was a noble family of witches, the first witch family to become extinct."

"... Magician nobility?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Meanwhile, inside the Ic Mansion building, precisely in a secret room, several high-level magicians and a group of people in black-colored robes gathered there. The golden-coloured sword emblem with a crossed shape became the mark of that group of black-clothed people.

Among them, there was a man dressed in noble clothes standing there. His brown hair was visible, combined with the color of his eyes that were like leaves. No doubt, he is Levon.

Then a witch came to Levon. "Duke Fictin, is what you said earlier the truth?" tanyakanya.

Levon immediately nodded. "Yes. The evil magic that was in Xylia's body was already gone, and its influence on His Majesty the King and Prince Dhemiel was also no longer working. It's because of Stella. He purified that evil magic. Therefore, we must get rid of him!" the answer is by mixing up the lies and the truth, as if it were Stella's fault.

The witch seemed to think, before finally nodding in agreement. "Yes, we have to get rid of the boy. If not, then the plan we've been putting together all this time will fail."

Levon smiled with satisfaction upon hearing the witch agree to his proposal, in his heart he grinned.

"Then―" The witch stared at the group of people dressed in black, then gave the order. "Daughter of Stella Al-Teona Evergard. Remember, don't get caught."

"Good, Chief!"

However, before the group of people carried out the magician's orders, the deafening sound of explosions sounded.

Boom―

Outside, it was clearly visible that some of the buildings in the Ic Mansion had collapsed. The ground shook as it fell on the ruins of the building.

Inside the secret room, Levon and the others looked panicked. Forcibly, they came out and saw what was going on.

In the courtyard of the Ic Mansion, an old man floated there. His black hair is fluttering. His purple eyes stared coldly at the people slowly approaching him. His face had wrinkles due to his age of almost 70 years, yet it did not make his good looks fade.

"How dare you hurt my granddaughter! Because of you, my granddaughter is tormented, both in the past and in the present! I will repay you!!"

His cold yet full of emotions rang out, echoing throughout the entire territory of the Ic Mansion.

The magician, who was referred to as the supreme mage in the Ic Mansion, looked at the person who was making a ruckus in his territory. Instantly his eyes widened in shock when he saw that person's face.

"That, that...! That's His Majesty the previous King!"

His trembling yet loud voice rang out, startling the people around him.

"It's good that you recognize me." The old man smirked. He raised his hand, then a gigantic fireball appeared. The hot air soon spread in many directions. "Now, it's time to avenge my grandson. Feel this!!" He threw a fireball in his hand, causing an explosion that was more terrifying than the previous one.

Booms!

The entire building in Mansion Ic instantly collapsed in a state of flames. Thick smoke billowed into the air, filling the surrounding area. There was nothing left but a few magicians who fell on the ground.

That night, word circulated that Mansion Ic was smashed into pieces due to an attack from someone unknown.
