Chapter 7

Princess Mia is Motivated

The Grand Library at the Whitemoon Palace housed the knowledge gathered throughout the empire. Sitting at one of the wooden desk was Mia. She had her chin in her palm, and she let out a dejected sigh.

“Hmm, This has been most unfruitful...”

Mia has been in the library for the past few days. After the memory of Anne came back to her, she spent the following week reviewing her diary and organizing her memories. As a result, she finally understood that it wasn’t a dream, but something that actually happened...well, to be exact... something that is about to happen in the future. And as a result...

“No! No! No! I am not going through that again!”

She couldn’t take being up at that guillotine again. So, she was looking for a way to escape that future. This is why she is now at the library, looking up at the current state of the Tearmoon Empire.

Mia remembers that the empire’s finances will deteriorate. Then a famine will come. It will be followed by plague. Finally, a revolution will happen to which foreign kingdoms will assist the revolutionaries.

Mia believes that’s how things will play out. And by cross-referencing her past(future) knowledge with the books in the library, her only conclusion was that...

“It’s all too complicated!”

This wasn’t very surprising. She was spoiled since she was childhood. There was no way she could understand politics or economies after just leafing through some books. Mia was frustrated. She knew what was going to happen, but she didn’t know what she could do about it. No matter how many sweets she ate, she still could not come up with a good idea. But at least now she understands why it is bad for one of her meals to cost as much as one month’s salary of a common person.

“It seems I have no choice but to find that man...”

“If you say so, then this Anne will do her best to be of help.”

“Hm? Well, if you insist, I would certainly appreciate it.” Mia couldn’t understand why Anne suddenly got excited, but she didn’t put too much thought on her maid’s behavior.

“I do hope he is here... Oh?”

As they were walking, they heard people arguing.

“Why is this waste going on? This will cause the empire’s finances to collapse in the near future. You should know.”

“You’re very noisy”

“However...”

“Shut up! Why are you fussing on the details?”

“They are not trivial details. The empire is...”

“Oh?”

Mia smiles as she hears a familiar, nostalgic voice.

“It seems spending all that time in the library finally paid off!” The knowledge she gained at the library has absolutely nothing to do with it. All that can be said is that Mia was a very lucky person with good fortune.
