Chapter 30
It is a very romantic place, decorated with many colorful flowers, and have been choosed as a confession place by many lovers.
(It is the perfect place to create an encounter!)
Mia squeezes the handkerchief she had prepared and put on a wicked smile.
It was the day after she had met Rafina.
Thanks to Anne’s intel gathering, Mia had caught wind that Abel would soon be passing by this place. And she was currently sitting on a bench in the courtyard, waiting for that moment.
By the way, from today onwards, Mia is wearing the school’s uniform. It consists of a brand new blazer and pleated skirt. Its pure white color with no cloudiness go in direct contrast to Mia’s heart.
Dressed in the beautiful uniform, Mia looked innocent and beautiful, just like a saint of the empire.
While listening to the sound of the fountain, the person she was looking for finally arrived.
(Here it is!)
Seeing her prey, Mia lets out a small breath and stands up from the bench.
Mia starts walking a little in front of Abel while glancing behind her, waiting for the right moment….
(Now!)
Handkerchief deployed.
After lightly fluttering, the handkerchief falls at Abel’s feet.
After seeing it, Mia exclaims with joy internally.
(I have a perfect control of this, if I do say so myself. And now!)
Mia walks as slowly as possible, waiting to be called. She walks…. and walks…. but the call is yet to come.
(Isn’t this strange?)
Upon checking the condition of the handkerchief, she sees it, fruitlessly caught in the grass, swaying in the wind.
(Why didn’t you pick the handkerchief up?)
She looks at Abel this time, and sees him talking to a nearby girl.
[Are you in trouble, young lady?]
So cheesy!
Mia had completely forgotten.
Yes. If it is Abel, between a handkerchief and a girl in “trouble’, Abel would go straight to the girl, without hesitation.
And make a move on her, if possible.
Frivolous, pretentious and, regrettable, also beautiful. That is the essence of the boy named Abel Ramno.
But the misfortunes continue.
[Hum? Is this…., a lost item?]
Someone picked up Mia’s handkerchief.
With his beautiful silver hair and annoyingly dignified face. Mia’s worst enemy Sion, gracefully picked it up.
[Did anyone drop their handkerchief?]
[Wh, wh, wh!]
While gritting her teeth, Mia decides to leave the place. Her primary goal is to not get involved with Sion and Tiona.
Absolutely never get involved with them. Otherwise, it is over.
She has no choice but to withdraw, pretending she didn’t notice it.
When Mia was about to walk off….
[Oh, that is Mia-sama’s]
The voice of another enemy draws near.
It is Tiona Rudolvon, running up to Sion.
[I borrowed a similar one yesterday, so I’m sure of it.]
After saying that, she takes out the carefully washed handkerchief and shows it.
The handkerchiefs used by Mia were made by an imperial craftsman. The skilled craftsman was very enthusiastic about the personal belongings of the beloved princess, and added a unique and elaborated pattern to the lace around the edges.
An irrefutable proof.
[Oh, there she is. Mia-sama!]
(Uhg! That was unnecessary!)
There goes any chances of scaping. Giving up, Mia gracefully turns around, then pats her uniform.
[Oh, that is true. I must have dropped it by accident.]
She says, showing a smile.
[Thank you very much for letting me know.]
[I see. So, this belongs to her highness princess Mia.]
Saying that, Sion walks up to Mia and bows with his hand on his chest.
[That is the first time we meet. I’m prince Sion Saul Sankland of the Kingdom of Sankland. I’ve heard a lot about you, princess Mia.]
[This is very kind of you. I’m Mia Luna Tearmoon.]
Mia lifts the hem of her skirt a little and also bows.
Mia was ready to hurriedly leave the scene….
[I met you at the right time. I beg your pardon, your highness Mia, but have you decided on a dance partner for tomorrow?]
A bad feeling assaults her.
[If you haven’t already, I’d love to apply for the position.]
(Why, how, why is this happening!??)
Mia screams on the inside, seeing Sion’s smile, which would make any girl want to surrender without even fighting.
