Princess Mia is in Great Form!

While Mia was healing from the traumatizing event that happened in the library, the season changed. It was the new semester, and now Mia is in her second year. She will be fourteen this winter.

“I can’t be scared of ghosts forever. I can sleep alone again!”

After making a bossy declaration, Mia moved out from Anne’s bed, which she had been using throughout the spring holidays. It was time for her to sleep solo again after sleeping with Anne.

By the way, her reason for sleeping alone again was made arbitrarily. It wasn’t because Chloe and her other friends are coming back that she feels a little less scary. That would just be childish, and Mia is definitely not childish.

With that out of the way, Mia proceeded to greet Chloe and others at the start of the new semester.



“Then, who can read this coat of arms. How about you, Princess Mia.”

ON a large whiteboard at the front of the classroom was an emblem drawn in a special red-colored sap paint. Mia looked up at it and stook up confidently.

“Hmm, that’s easy!”

With all eyes in the classroom gathered at her, Mia walked calmly towards the front to the coat of arms.

Currently, Mia’s class is teaching “heraldry”. Heraldry, as the name implies, is the study of the meaning of the coat of arms. This is an indispensable skill especially for noble children. This helps them decipher and recognise individuals and lineages from their house family crests.

“Let’s see…”

Mia stands in front of the painted coat of arms, looks at it and studied its parts. There is a law in drawing a coat of arms. When a noble boy and a noble girl get married, they basically inherit a new family crest that looks like a combination of half of each their family crests. For example, if Mia and Abel were to get married, the Tearmoon emblem “Crescent Moon” and the Remno royal emblem “Warrior Wolf” would be combined to create a new coat of arms. In other words, if one knows the coat of arms that is present to each noble house, one can easily identify the connections of that family to other houses.

By the way, that example earlier was definitely just an example. It didn’t mean that Mia spends her free time scribbling her mirror in her room, while dreamily mumbling, “Ahhh, if I marry Prince Abel, our emblem will look like this…. The wolf howling at the moon… it’s a perfect match.” She definitely does not do this kind of thing. Never.

In the previous timeline, something that she also never did was doodling emblems combining Sunkland’s sun and Tearmoon’s moon, while dreamily muttering, “Ahh, if I marry Prince Sion… (the rest are omitted).” Any mention of such things is definitely fake news!

“Hmm, the right side of this emblem is the family crest is the Count Garland, the lower left is Marquis Wesley, a nobleman of the Sunkland, and the upper right is …”

The elderly female teacher nodded satisfactorily to Mia’s answer.

“The answer is correct. As expected of Your Highness Mia. You have been doing your homework.”

This teacher was known to be strict and an earnest praise from her was rare. Mia couldn’t help but show a smug grin to her classmates.

“Hmm, as I have said, this was a piece of cake.”

So, in this new semester, Mia started off in a great form. This is a surprise to anyone who has been following her grades. Her performance is all due to Anne, of course.

After being traumatized in the library, Mia could no longer sleep alone. Once Anne started sleeping with her, things improved to the point that she managed to fall asleep. But even then, it took her awhile to fall asleep. When Anne noticed this, she devised a plan.

“Mia-sama, if you can’t sleep, why don’t we review what you have learned last year?”

Then Anne recited Mia the first year’s lessons in a tone like a lullaby. Anne’s idea was to reduce the burden on Mia, who had been struggling in the tests.

This worked better than expected. As soon as Anne started talking, Mia fell asleep. Whenever Anne looked up from a book, she noticed that Mia was already dozing peacefully. But, strangely enough, Mia remembered what she was hearing while she was sleeping. This is the moment when the “Anne-style sleep-learning method” was born! Thanks to this method, Mia could now behave in a fashion befitting her title of the Wisdom of the Empire. It was a miracle!

Mia smiles cheerfully as she basked on the praises of her classmates.

Oh, this feels very good. This is how it should always be…

She was on cloud nine. But life doesn’t always go so well…

Little did she know that by lunch time the cause of trauma would be revived.

That day, Mia was having lunch in the courtyard with the usual girls around her. They were doing a picnic after having asked sandwiches from the cafeteria. The clear sky was blue, and the spring sunshine was warm and comfortable.

It’s a perfect picnic day. The salted meat of this sandwich is excellent. I’ll just have another one.

Mia was eating the sandwiches in a cheerful mood. But the time for fun chats didn’t last very long. Halfway through the lunch break, one of Mia’s entourage, the daughter of the Count Gleich, Dora asked her a question.

“By the way, Princess Mia, have you heard?”

Mia was busy eating her sandwich…

“Hmm? Heard about what?”

She didn’t notice the dangerous atmosphere created by Dora.

“… it seems that there was a sighting.”

Mia gave Dora a blank look.

“A sighting? Of what?”

Dora theatrically lowered her voice and said…

“A ghost……”

She said in a terrifying voice.

“Huh?”

Dora continued speaking regardless of Mia, who opened her mouth in shock.
