Reincarnated Princess Wishes To Avoid Death

Liora Lulu.

A member of the Lulu tribe, a smalll tribe living in the forest area of the Tearmoon Empire.

Regardless of her maid skills, she is still not good at speaking the continent’s language, and as such, is not someone who would normally be brought to St. Noel Academy.

Nevertheless, she was reluctant chosen because there was no one else available.

For the Rudolvon family, who have a poor financial situation, sending their daughter to the academy is already a hard endeavor.

According to the policy of Rafina, daughter of the Duke of Belluga, the school’s doors are open not only to rich and important nobles, but also to the poor and weak ones. Therefore, attending the school itself is possible. However, they offer no financial assistance.

They couldn’t afford to have an experienced maid with a high salary accompany Tiona.

In addition, there was one more reason why she was chosen.

And that is…

[Liora, don’t be reckless.]

Tiona said while sticking her head out of the window above.

[Tiona-sama the one is danger. Not lean like that.]

Saying that, Liora looked down toward her feet.

High… Falling from this height probably means death.

The highest point in St. Noel Academy. That is where Tiona and her maid were trapped.

Called the Star Gazing classroom, the place is on the top floor of a tower, at the north of the school building. There is only one way in, and once it is closed, there is no way out.

Although there is a window, the people who locked them in probably didn’t think they would be able to escape through it.

What they didn’t expect, however, was the presence of Liora.

The Lulus, who lived in the forest, had extremely high physical abilities.

For them, who often persue their prey along the forest and can climb trees with ease, height is not an obstacle.

Liora quickly climbed down the wall and smoothly reached the ground. Shortly after, she called out to Anne, the first person she saw.

[Tiona-sama, trapped.]

[Eh…?]

Anne couldn’t believe the words that were comming from Liora’s mouth

[What do you mean trapped?… Who would do something like that?]

And for what reason?

[I not know. I was the only who escape.]

Liora said, looking up at Anne.

[Please. Tiona-sama help. Please. I beg you.]

[I understand. I will lend you my strength.]

Despite being a little confused, Anne answered immediately. And was more than a little surprised by her own action.

(I answered without any hesitation at all…)

She never thought she would act like that one day, but she knew exactly why she had done it.

(Mia-sama granted me free reign to move. I have to act in a way that would not bring her shame.)

I’m sure that Mia, who is kind and have a strong sense of justice, would do the same. This conviction allowed her to answer without hesitation.

Funnily enough, this conviction is actually not wrong.

If Mia were here, she would have acted to save Tiona.

Because she is kind and have a strong sense of justice… of course not.

It is simply because she is a coward.

If she decided to ignore the situation, she might go straight to the guillotine route, and more than that, she would be helpless if her loyal retainer Anne looked at her full of anticipation.

She would shed tears of blood in her heart, but she would help.

In this sense, the choice of action from both the master and the servant was in perfect syntony.

Their hearts were completely at odds, though…

Liora took Anne to the north area of the school.

The large school building was completely silent. When there are no classes, the school building is a surprisingly unpopular place.

In addition, all the students were at the party right now, and the servants were either waiting in the dormitories or, like Anne, were given time off and went to the city.

This place, which is even more deserted than usual, looks like a good place for some kind of sinister scheme.

After climbing up the long spiral staircase at the north tower, they finally reached a narrow corridor. At the end of the dimly lit corridor, a figure was barely visible.

[Is that…?]

[Shh! Careful. Standing guard]

[Standing guard…?]

As her eyes adjusted to the darkness, Anne could see more clearly.

There were two men standing in front of the Star Gazing classroom.

From this distance, it was impossible to tell who they were, but at first glance, they looked strong.

(I heard that among the servants, some excel in martial arts and are chosen to protect their masters. Maybe they are like that.)

[What should I do…?]

Anne, unfortunately, had no martial arts background. Even if they were just normal men, it would be impossible to knock them out and continue on.

And if we talk about persuasion, that was also questionable.

[…what should I do? How should I do it?…]

[Oh? Is something wrong, ladies?]

Suddenly, someone called out from behind.

The two of them jumped up, startled. When they turned around in a panic… standing there was…

[You are…]

[Are you in some kind of trouble?]

[I think you were His Highness Sion’s…?]

It was Keithwood, with a friendly smile on his face.
