BXBX NOVEL Chapter 97
There were only few days left of the summer vacation. Mia, who returned to her room late at night, lied down on the bed without even bother changing out of her dress. It is usually the kind of behavior that would earn her a scolding from Anne. But for now, it can be overlooked.
After finishing her talks with Outcount Rudolvon, Mia energetically travelled throughout the Empire. Enthused by her success with the wheat, Mia decided to get as many things done before she goes back to the academy. She visited the hospital in the slums, checked the food storehouses, and then visited nobles after nobles to let them know about the establishment of her school.
“Uh …”
The moment she hit the bed, tiredness quickly crept up to her whole boy. Nonetheless, Mia manages to resist the urge to fall asleep immediately.
“That reminds me, I haven’t checked it recently …”
Giving a deep tired sigh, Mia pushed herself up and headed to the luxurious desk where she kept her blood-stained diary. This blood-stained diary has been a signpost for almost everything that Mia does. Mia gave a tired smile as she picks up the diary, remembering that the last time she read it was at the start of the summer vacation
“… With all my hard work, if there’s no change and I still end up on the guillotine, I might just cry.”
Mia quickly flips through the scary pages until she reaches the page in question.
“………… Huh !?”
She let out a gasp of alarm. The page where she was reading was the day of the guillotine. But something’s strange with the page. The letters seem to melt into seemingly small threads, then they unravelled into nothingness. At the same time, the blood red stains that covered the whole diary disappear while she was looking at it. Now the page was totally blank.
“Huh? What is this, oh?”
In her surprise, Mia accidentally dropped the diary. The diary gave off a faint glow like a moonlight, and in the next moment, it disappeared as particles of light.
“Heavenly moons!”
Mia, who was staring at the scene, was totally confused for a moment without understanding what had happened.
“Whoa… wha, what does this mean? Where is my diary…”
Mia panicked and searched the whole room looking for her lost diary. It is important that she doesn’t lose it after all, Mia’s actions were guided by that diary. Based on what she read from it, she adjusts her actions to avoid the guillotine. And now, that important guide has disappeared…literally.
“……hmmm?”
Mia froze as she came to a realization. That diary is a guideline written by the Mia in the future. As long as Mia ends up on the guillotine, then that diary will continue to exist. But now, it has disappeared…
“In other words, as long as I have that diary, I’m destined to die at the guillotine… Then… now that diary has disappeared… this can only mean…”
Amidst her confusion, she slowly and logically arranged her thoughts until she reached a certain conclusion. And that is…
“…then this means… that the future of me dying at the guillotine is gone too?”
With a stunned and almost unbelieving voice, Mia muttered.
“I… did it? Yeah? I’m finally free!”
Mia threw her small fist up in the air. This behavior was very unprincess-like but it didn’t matter. Mia burst into a joyful dance while twirling around and around her room. She only stopped when her fatigue and tiredness caught up with her.
“That’s right. Let’s write a letter to Prince Abel!”
She clapped her hands and smiled happily. As a matter of fact, it is unlikely that she will receive a reply from this letter considering the numbers of days left for the summer vacation. Even more so, once school resumes, they can talk directly. However, Mia is just so happy that she wants to let someone know her happy feelings right away. And as for who that person she wants to share her happiness with? It doesn’t take a lot of guesswork…
“Prince Abel, how are you? Well, I’ll see you once school starts, but I’m looking forward to it from now on.”
And the gear of fate begins to move slowly.
At the same time, at a certain underground bar, four men were talking secretly.
“The empire seems to be picking up.”
“I tried goading various nobles, but it is proving difficult.”
“That young man named Ludwig, a civilian worker of the Golden Moon Ministry, seems to be quite excellent …”
“I was hoping that a famine would do them in, but they seem to have a perfect system to counter it…”
“I heard that the relationship between Princess Mia and Prince Sion is also good. This means that the efforts in having them turn against each other has failed.”
“Hmm, the wisdom of the empire … It’s all because of that kid.”
“It can’t be helped. Prince Sion has always been known to be a genius and everything. And that Belluga’s Rafina is not an easy target as well.
“In any case, our ultimate goal remains the same. We’ll put the plans for the empire on hold. For now, we are changing targets…”
… Mia never received a letter of reply from Abel.
TN: Well, that’s it everyone. Mia finally avoided the guillotine. She is free!
