Reincarnated Princess Wishes To Avoid Death

Mia’s Cold-Induced Dreams and Memories: Part 2

“Then, Miss Tiona, be careful along the way.”

It was the last day before summer vacation. Sion was seeing Tiona off with a refreshing smile. Tiona leaned out of her carriage window then returned a friendly smile.

There were other people around Sion who wanted to say goodbye to him. This made Mia worry while she continued to receive farewells from her own people.

“Princess Mia, my father wants to meet you…”

“So would I love to visit you during this summer vacation, myself and His Majesty the Emperor …”

“No, visit us first. Our territory may be small, but it has the best summer resort …”

As she answers each of the requests appropriately, Mia made a sneak peek towards Sion. Suddenly their eyes met. His normally bright eyes seemed cold. Sion broke the eye contact as if he lost interest. Mia did not understand his expression.

Why doesn’t Prince Sion come to greet me? Oh, I’m sure he is still feeling awkward after turning down the lunch box. Oh, he’s silly. He doesn’t have to worry about that.

Mia was completely unaware of the current feelings Sion and Tiona until the revolution started. Not only that, but she also couldn’t even grasp the hearts of those around her. She never had the time to consider the feelings of others, nor did she care to. That was until the world as she knew it came to an end

The last year she spent at Saint noel was the year when the empire was falling due to tight finances and uprisings in various parts of the country. During that time, at the final day of school, Mia found herself all alone…

“Why is this happening?”

There was not a single person that bothered to bid Mia farewell. Tearmoon aristocrats other than Mia could not afford to send their children to the school, and those from other countries avoided her. They don’t want to be involved with the troublesome princess of a falling empire.

Mia was alone. Truly alone.

Meanwhile, Sion, who was still gathering people around him, stared at Mia with cold eyes and said in a cold, sharp voice.

“I despise you, Princess Mia”

“Hiiii!”

Mia screamed as she sprang up from her bed. Her whole body is soaked with sweat.

“Ah … oh, it was a dream?”

A cup appeared at her side. Mia took it and drank the cold water all at once.

“Thank you. I needed that.”

“You’re welcome. But you seemed to be screaming, did you have a bad dream?”

A cold hand touches her cheek. Mia was touched by the gesture and fascinated by the comfort. She was ready to close her eyes again, but …

Oh Wait! Don’t I recognize this voice?

Mia slowly turned her neck to see who was beside her.

“Fuhya!”

She almost jumped out of the bed, screaming.

The person who was looking into Mia’s face was no other than…

“Ah, ah, Abel … Prince? Why are you here?”

It was Prince Abel gazing at her softly and gently.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be watching a lady’s sleeping face, but Miss Anne asked me to watch over you for a while.”

Mia could see Anne raising her thumbs up.

I know you think you are doing your best for me Anne. But you are doing your best in all the wrong things!

She lifts the blanket all the way up to cover her mouth.

“I’m grateful for your sympathy, but I think you should not stay here. I don’t want you catching my cold.”

“Oh, that might be convenient.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Well, there is a legend of my country that a cold can be cured by transferring it to another person. If Princess Mia can be cured by me catching it, then it is worth it.”

With that said, Abel embarrassedly laughed.

“Well …”

His youthful and cheerful smile cheered up Mia. After that, Mia enjoyed chatting with Abel.

“By the way, it’s summer vacation soon.”

“Will Princess Mia return to the empire after all?”

“That’s right. There are a lot of things I must do in my country. I’ll be in the empire all the time during the holidays.”

Mia can’t just take it easy just because it’s a long vacation. She has to do everything she can to escape the fate of the guillotine.

“What will Prince Abel do?”

“I’m going home, but I’m thinking of going back to school a little earlier. I was wondering if I could be with you somewhere during the summer vacation, but it seems that I shall be disappointed.”

Why does this person say something that makes me nervous?

Mia diverts her gaze from Abel and exhales a little to calm herself down.

Then, they heard a knocking from the door.

“Oh, by the way, Prince Sion and Miss Tiona also said they would come to visit you later.”

“Oh my, it seems that I will be busy today.”

Of course, in her head she was thinking that they’re all annoying, even though she is lying down because of a cold…

Though thinking like that, Mia tilts her head a little. To be honest, she did not feel uncomfortable with their visits.

Is it because I slept a lot?

Even her head, which felt heavy because of fever, began to lighten before she knew it.

“Excuse us Princess Mia. How is your cold?”

“Mia-sama, this is a heat-cooling paste sent from my parents’ house. I have to apologize in advance that it was made from herbs grown by my younger brother and it’s nothing fancy…”

Mia’s room was filled with warm and lively air. It was a calm and gentle atmosphere filled with friendship, companionship, and pure love. Something that she never experienced on the previous timeline.
