Chapter 25
As soon as she reached her room in the girls’ dormitory, Mia sighed heavily.
After what happened, people who were attracted by the name of the Imperial Princess of the Tearmoon Empire came to greet her one after another, and she was busy dealing with them.
(I would have liked to run away from all those people greeting me.)
Despite being a little arrogant and half-hearted, Mia is actually timid.
(I couldn’t ignore the people who greeted me so respecfully because I was in front of Anne, so I ended up dealing with them one by one.)
[…..I’m tired]
After taking off her shoes, Mia fell straight on the bed, and sluggishly threw her hands and feet out. The dignified appearance of an Inperial Princess was nowhere to be found…..
(I don’t care! I’m the great Imperial Princess. I don’t need anyone to tell me what to do!)
Mia convinced herself.
[Good work today, Mia-sama]
Anne said with a smile which shows her worry for Mia.
[Yes, I’m really tired]
[Would you like me to bring you some tea? Or would you like me to prepare a hot bath for you?]
[Hum. Let’s see]
The room is equipped with a bathroom. As long as there is hot water, I can take a bath at any time.
This country is abundant in water to begin with, so there is not need to conserve it, since water supply and sewage systems are widespread.
From the perspective of people from desert countries, this is an outrageous luxury country.
Mia wanted to take a long bath and relax her stiff body on the couch, but she quickly shook her head.
[No, that’s not necessary.The public bath will open in an hour, so let’s go there.]
The women’s dormitory is equipped with a hot spring facility that students can enter at certain times. Let’s hold back for now so that I can stretch my arms and legs and try out the hot spring!
[More importantly, I’d like to ask you something, Anne]
[Yes, what is it?]
Mia sits down on the edge of the bed and asks Anne to sit on the bed next to her.
By the way, there is no difference in the size or luxury of both beds. Normally, it would be impossible for a noble and a servant to live in the same room, but in the case of St. Noel Academy, it is possible that the servants who came
with the nobles are from noble families themselves.
So, all the rooms are designed to accommodate two children of noble families.
Anne sits in the luxurious bed with a frightened look on her face.
[So, what is it, Mia-sama?]
[I’d like your advice on something]
[Advice?]
Anne tilts her head.
[Yes, and it is something very important]
[Something very important…..]
Anne Swallows her saliva.
After staring at Anne, Mia takes a deep breath.
[When meeting your ideal partner, how one should go about creating a good first impression?]
[…..Eh?]
In the previous timeline, Mia had convinced herself she would end up with prince Sion. She thought the only person worthy of the great Imperial Princess was the prince of Sunkland, Sion. And vice-versa.
So, Mia’s stance towards Zion was always, “Feel free to ask me out”. It was always like that. Whether it is was a ball, a dinner party or before a holiday.
She would go to Sion and say: “Feel free to ask me out”. Basically, she was very annoying.
Now Mia was slightly aware that it was a mistake.
That is growth. It is a big step. It may not be a big step for mankind, but a big enough step for Mia.
Of course, she though: “It is because of Sion’s rotten personality!”, but after so much time in prison, she gained a somewhat better common sense and started to think: “Maybe there was something wrong with me”.
Although Mia has no intention of approaching Sion, she has to make connections to save herself from the guillotine.
The most important of those is a lover or fiance.
So Mia decided to ask Anne if her approach to love was wrong…….
[….Mia-sama, this, who taught you this method?]
Anne said with a twitching face, after listening to the story.
[Who you say?…..]
Anne gripped Mia by the shoulders before she could say: “Myself”.
[Listen Mia-sama. That is all wrong! I don’t know which shallow noble lady you’ve asked, but no one will want to be with you if you look down on them like that!]
[Is.. Is that so?]
[That is so!!!! It is true that since Mia-sama is the Imperial Princess, some may still want to go out with you. But that is because they want your power, not because they like you. Someone like that isn’t worth of Mia-sama to begin with.]
She finishes with a snort. And then….
[So, Mia-sama. Who are you planning to approach? Let’s think of an strategy!]
Anne says, with an air of enthusiasm.
