Stella's mind instantly became empty. As if stumbling, Stella suddenly flinched. Immediately, he closed the book, then opened it, but it was still empty. Instantly Stella's mind was filled with a thousand question marks.
Whatisthis? Am I imagining again? No, where is possible. It's still morning.
Denying her thoughts, Stella repeated the action earlier.
Shut down.
Uncatch.
Shut down.
Uncatch.
The action was done repeatedly Stella until her hands felt sore.
"Ugh.." - UH...." Stella groaned while massaging her hands, then muttered, "I'm sure that I'm not fantasizing right now."
Why is the book suddenly empty? At last the writing was still there, thought Stella while staring at the book with a pink cover.
Suddenly, the words of an old man Stella met in the bookstore in the capital suddenly flashed through her mind.
"It turns out you bought the book. Can you read what's in that book?"
Huh!
Stella's purple eyes were wide open, as if she had just gained enlightenment.
So that means it!
Stella immediately got up from her sleeping position.
That person must have known that the writing in this book had suddenly disappeared by itself and appeared again, which was why he asked me that!
Moving on, Stella went down the bed, then entered the dressing room, the place where her dresses were located, Suzy had moved all her dresses to that place on the orders of King Shavir.
I'll meet that guy now! I wonder where he found this book!
Stella looked at the book she had in her hand, then placed it on the bed.
Because Xylia told him that all the maids were busy at the moment, so Stella decided to put on her own dress. He was also used to dressing himself. If there is an important event, then Stella will be helped dressed by the servants.
Upon entering the dressing room, Stella was surprised by the large number of cabinets containing luxurious dresses she had never seen before. Without thinking any further, Stella could guess that King Shavir was the one who sent the dresses to her.
While looking around, Stella looking for a dress that is not too complicated, according to her taste, but impressed luxurious in the eyes of people.
As a royal princess, her appearance in dress has always been a highlight, both in her past and present life.
In the modern world, the fabric used to make dresses has developed to be more comfortable and not burdensome, so Stella will still feel comfortable even though wearing a layered dress.
However, it is different from the dresses in the world. In this world, noble women still use a girdle that is tied tightly around the abdominal area, sometimes making someone difficult to breathe, it is also true for members of the royal family, especially a princess.
Luckily, Stella was a child and not required to wear a corset, but somehow fate when she grew up. Hopefully, when she grows up, the tradition of wearing dresses that began with farthingale, pannier, and corset is no longer there.

"OKAY. I'll just pick this dress. Not too complicated, but it looks fancy."
Stella took a dress from her closet.
It was a layered dress, like a hanging shirt. The first layer is white with a ribbon tied around the neck. As for the second layer of maroon red, the skirt part looks fluffy, at the end of the skirt there are two elongated white lines. On the neck and wrist of the dress, there was a stream of white lace.
"Wow. I couldn't believe I was going to wear a kid's dress like this" Stella said in amazement, then began wearing the dress muttering, "If Belle's sister or Jevon's sister saw me wearing this dress, they will definitely laugh out loud while taking pictures of me, after which the photo will be spread on the sosmed and become trending. Good thing they're not here."
After she finished dressing, Stella rubbed her face with baby powder, after which she began to comb her hair. After combing, Stella braided the left side of her hair, and pinned the ribbon there, then wore the same shoes the color of her dress.
"Done!" Then Stella looked at herself in the mirror, then thought hard. "Hm. Looks like there's less."
Shortly after, Stella recalled today's extremely cold weather, and a shadow as she fell ill flashed across her mind. Then Stella took a coat that matched her dress and put on it.
"Okay, it's ready."
Taps. Taps. Taps.
The sound of Stella's footsteps rang out, she picked up the fairy tale book, then reached the doorstep. As Stella was about to get out, the window of the unclosed room rang out, a cold wind gushing in. Stella immediately grabbed her coat. At that moment, something caught his attention.
Whatisit?
Stella stared at the red curtain in the corner of the room, adjacent to her bed. The curtain is slightly exposed, showing something rectangular with various colors that adorn the object.
The painting?
Stella squinted her eyes. Is correct. It looks like it's a painting. Then Stella closed the door and left.
Maybe it's a painting of Mom and Dad.

"First of all, I have to ask Shavir for permission first. It would be bad if he knew I was leaving secretly again."
Walking quickly, Stella stepped towards King Shavir's study. Upon arriving there, Stella was about to knock on the door, but the noise from inside the room stopped her actions.
"What's? So you're the one who took my daughter away! Now tell me, where's my daughter?!"
"I didn't take him away! We love each other, which is why we got married!"
"What the fuck! You married without a guardian from the bride? What kind of tradition is that?"
"I didn't know he had a family!"
"That means you and my daughter don't understand each other yet! It doesn't deserve to be called love!"
"Because you've taken my daughter away!"
"I told you, I didn't take her away!"
"I can't believe it!"
Stella retreated her steps while laughing awkwardly. He knew who the people were fighting. The first was Leonard, and the second was King Shavir.
"Wow. The quarrel between the in-laws and the daughter-in-law was extremely hot. I'm sure the room feels like a fire right now."
Since revealing her true identity while at Eternal Flame Headquarters, Stella knew that Leonard was her grandfather from her mother's family, but Leonard had no idea that Stella was her grandson.
It was because Stella did not tell her mother's name, she only introduced herself as a royal princess. In addition, Leonard also did not ask about Stella's parents, as he did not think that his daughter would marry one of the members of the royal family.
This time Stella does not know how Leonard can find out that her daughter is the wife of King Shavir.
Walking closer to the door, Stella knocked on the door slowly.
I don't care if I have to pause their fight, because I also have important things to do.
Then Stella opened the door, her head sticking out from behind it. The loud screams of the two people sounded louder than when he heard it from outside the door.
"Just tell me where you're hiding my daughter!"
"I'm not hiding―!"
"Excuse me."
"...."
"...."
Leonard, who was pulling the collar of King Shavir's oversized robe while grumbling, immediately stopped moving. While King Shavir, who pointed at the white-haired old man while replying with a shout, also stopped.
"...."
Looking at the position of the two men from the doorway, Stella was rendered speechless.
Destroyed is your image, leaders with thick shades of ice.

"Ehem, ahem. It's not what you think, Stella. Dad still has dignity and self-respect."
"Yes, yeah. So is your grandfather."
Stella nodded her head, her expression like saying "I don't see anything", while in her heart she started chiming in.
Yesin.
"So, what's up? You don't usually want to visit Dad's office."
"Actually .. I want to go to the capital. What's bo―"
"Can't."
He immediately replied at a speed of 0.2 seconds!
Stella clenched her mouth tightly. She had expected that the man would refuse, but Stella would not give up so easily.
"Just for a second. I'll go with Dhemiel's sister, so―"
"Can't."
"I'll also bring the kesat―"
"Can't."
"I'll also bring the weit―"
"Can't."
Stella growling. His words were always cut with the same sentence. Even words involuntarily came out of his mouth.
"Then I die!"
"That's not okay either!!"
Stella snorted when she heard King Shavir's quick reply but sounded panicked.
"Then what can I do?"
"Hm. How about you play with Dad now? It's critical. You promised, didn't you? Oh, I'll take Dhemiel along. How's it?"
Stella immediately felt a deep depression.
Doctor, there's an insane person in front of me right now. Helpme.

Bonus - The Fate of Leonard
Leonard: "I just keep talking, you son-in-law and grandchild no morals. At least invite to chat cake, called cake, or whatever. This is even being confused. It's my fault what I tried." (murmuring, mumbling)
