Mia’s Romance Overload.
After getting up from bed, Mia quickly began to act. First of all, it goes without saying that she went to… a bath.
“It’s great to be able to take a bath anytime!”
By the way, Mia, who loves bathing, gets up in the morning and takes a bath first. It is recommended practice in St. Noel. Taking a bath after getting up improves blood circulation. But in the case of Mia, it is a bit different.
“Oh, my body is getting warmer… I’m getting a little sleepy.”
She mumbles as she considers going back to bed. Baths, in the case of Mia, were an exercise of hedonism.
Ultimately, she abandoned the idea of going back to bed and dried herself off. Despite being a little urgent in bathing, Mia regained her usual shiny skin and lustrous hair. Additionally, she put on a freshly cleaned dress and accessorized to maximise her charm. She then headed to Rafina’s room.
“Oh, you’re here, Mia.”
“Good day, Rafina-sama. Thank you for inviting me to this tea party.”
She pinched the skirt’s hem and performed an elegant bow before stepping into the room. When…
“Hi, Mia, it’s been a long time.”
“My! Abel, you’re already here!”
“I just got there. Anyway … Mia, you look more beautiful today than ever.”
Abel said with a bright smile. Upon hearing and seeing this, Mia’s cheeks instantly dyed red.
“M-My! Abel! It seems you have become a smooth talker. You shouldn’t say that to girls too often. They’ll think you are a womanizer.”
Mia said while flirting. Abel, however, looked hurt.
“I didn’t think you saw me that way. I wouldn’t say that to anyone. Only you, because I really thought you are.”
After hearing such things, an uncontrolled romantic sigh came out of Mia’s lips.
Now… wha-what is this? Sweet moons! Is Abel a natural or an imbecile?! He can’t say things like that in public!
Mia was brought back to reality by the sound of someone clearing his throat.
“Ahem, Princess Mia…, can you not neglect my Lord so much?”
“Oh! Keithwood, you’re here too. And oh… Sion. You too?”
Sion dropped his shoulders in response to Mia’s reaction. He then told Keith Wood.
“…Keith Wood, I’ve never wanted to be popular with women. In fact, it was them who wanted to approach me. But was I too conceited or confused? Did I consider myself too blessed and now I am suffering such scorn?”
Then Sion turned down. Mia, who has been guilt-tripped by Sion, rushes to comfort him.
“Well, that was a joke, Sion. Don’t take it seriously. I wanted to see you too. I’m glad you look fine and all.”
The next moment, Sion raised his face and said with a smug.
“I meant that as a joke as well.”
“Now!”
“Don’t worry. I also wanted to meet you. It’s good that you look fine. But…”
Sion continued with a grin.
“It’s even better to know that you as gullible as ever.”
“What?!!”
Mia’s face is dyed red again. This time, it was from anger overload.
This brat! His personality is even worse than before. I bet he is still holding a grudge from being kicked by me.
At the moment when Mia tried to rebuke, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned back and saw it was Abel with a puzzled frown.
“What are you talking about, Prince Sion? It’s exactly Mia’s good heartedness that makes her beautiful.”
“Huh …?”
Mia was once again speechless to Abel’s sweet words. Her cheeks turn red, and a romantic sigh leaked out from her lips. This is romance overload!
It was like a romantic comedy, and Mia was drunk with what was happening. She let down her guard. The bloody dairy has vanished, and she was in no danger of being decapitated. Furthermore, she escaped safely from the situation in Remno. Her continuous success has dulled her sense of danger. Mia was in a hibernation state oblivious of any impending danger. But she would soon wake up from this state…
“Excuse me. Eh? Princess Mia?”
The person who has just entered the room was Tiona Rudolvon and her attendant, Liora Lulu.
“My! So, you two were also invited. How are you Tiona-san? And how’s Cyril?”
“Ah, yes. He is looking forward to the school that Your Highness will be building so he is studying hard.”
“Well, I am glad to hear that… oh?”
Suddenly, Mia can feel chills running down her spine.
Hold on a second… something about this meeting seems off. The people who are here… they’re all…
Sion, Abel, and Tiona… these were the people who accompanied her to Remno Kingdom. That fact made her uneasy. Her sense of danger finally kicked in…. But it was too late for her to escape.
“It looks like everyone’s here. Let’s start the tea party.”
Rafina announced with a smile.
At that moment, Mia felt herself sucked into a new whirlpool of danger.
