Reincarnated Princess Wishes To Avoid Death

Chapter 457

The Terrifying Truth... (of Terror)

After Mia and Abel were done with their public display of affection, the talk went back to being more serious.

“By the way, Mia, what did you say about being asked to marry? Does it have anything to do with our friends here?” Rafina asked, pointing to Tiona and Liora.

“Actually, it does,” Mia said, then looked around suspiciously.

Rafina saw what was going on and smiled. “Don’t worry. The owner of this business is a trustworthy person who doesn’t say much. We can say what we want here.”

The owner of said business walked in just in time to hear her praise. He laughed awkwardly and put some plates of food on the table.

“Thank you so much for your kind words, Lady Rafina. I made sure to reserve the whole place for you ahead of time, so no one else is here today. When I’m done serving all the food, I’ll go to the back room so you can have complete privacy,” he said, showing that he was used to her requests.

Rafina got close to Mia and spoke quietly in her ear.

“You know, he’s really a spy for the Belluga.”

“Wait, what?”

Mia was almost choked from her own saliva. She thought that the whole point of spies was to hide who they were. Even though they were partners in the fight against the Chaos Serpents, diplomacy and getting information from other countries were on a whole other level. Even though they were friends, that didn’t mean it was okay for them to talk about these things with anyone. Mia was about to question whether Rafina’s comment was appropriate when she saw the smile on Rafina’s face. It was the smile of someone who had just pulled off a good joke.

“But his work doesn’t involve other nations,” she said. “He is a special spy because he’s part of our intelligence war against the Serpents.” VIssịT for the best novel reading experience

Mia nodded. The Chaos Serpents were, in fact, a group that was hard to find. It made sense for each country to send out agents to spy to find them out.

“Oh, I get it. If that’s the case...”

She decided to tell them what was going on. She wasn’t sure how to start talking about it at first, but once she did, the words came quickly and easily. Even though it was complicated, it was still about a friendship at its core. Mia, being a girl, loved hearing and telling stories about relationships. At least, she liked them much more than scary stories. She talked like a scholar as she told how Esmeralda and Sunkland’s second prince were talking about getting married, how Count Lampron had started the talks, and how it all fit into Tearmoon’s anti-empress group.

Count Lampron doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would try to kill a member of the royal family based on what Sion and Miss Rafina have said about him. I wouldn’t be shocked if he messed with politics, but I don’t think he is capable of murder.

She could tell that the guy wasn’t going to give up easily. The kind of stubbornness that often went along with incompetence.

And, I mean, it’s always possible that the Serpents are using him. Hm...

Now is the time to tell a terrifying truth. Mia, believe it or not, had done the most research and knew the most about Sion’s upcoming assassination at this time.

Mia was the first one! She was ahead of the pack! Give that some time to sink in.

Then, after the initial shock of that statement wears off, you’ll probably learn that no one but the killers knew an assassination was being planned, and the accomplishment will seem much less impressive. No matter what, it was a time when Mia knew more than all the other actors, and that’s something worth noting.

Also, it’s lucky that Sion or, god forbid, Keithwood would never find out about this dangerous situation. The first group would likely be terrified, while the second group might just pass out.

Author’s Note:

Until August 20th (Thursday), “Tear Moon Empire Story”

The first character vote” is being held.

The results will be announced at the end of Volume 5, which will be released on the 10th and 10th.

We are also running a campaign where you can get a postcard of the character that won first place drawn by Gilse, so if you like it, please check it out.

I’m excited about who will be from now on.

Oh, by the way, the reason Mia’s mother is in the ranking is because she appears in the comic’s extra SS. If you don’t mind the comic, please check it out.

TN’s Note:

That was three years ago. And I don’t think we actually heard alot about Mia’s mother. Aside from the dress chapter.
