Chapter 16

Princess Mia Attains Enlightenment

Anne’s home was on the outskirts of the castle town. An ordinary wooden house that looks similar to the rest of the rows of houses. A lot of dried clothes were swaying in the wind in the garden where pretty flowers bloomed. It didn’t look wealthy, but it was a very homely and warm house.

“Princess Mia, please wait in the carriage until I get you.”DiiScôver new stories on no/v/e()/lbin(.)com

After saying that, Anne quickly went into the house. After a few minutes of waiting, Anne and a middle-aged couple came out with slightly pale faces.

“Oh, maybe these people...”

“I-It’s an absolute honor to meet you, Your Highness. I am Anne’s father.” The man said nervously. He then introduces the woman beside him as Anne’s mother.

Mia curtsied.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Mia Luna Tearmoon. I’m always indebted to Anne.” Mia said with a sweet smile.

“No, no, I have no words of gratitude for your royal favor for our daughter..”

“Please be at ease. The service that your daughter provides is more than enough. We just stopped by here to deliver gifts.” Mia gave them a sweet princess smile. She was very good at putting up a sweet front.

“Well, Anne, please show me to your siblings quickly.”

Mia was impatient because she wanted to eat the ice cream before it melted. Fortunately, the last time she counted it, there were eight frozen desserts in a pottery cup. With these number, even if she gave one for each member of Anne’s family, there would still be something left for her.

As expected, the Four Dukes. They don’t skimp on gifts.

Stupid daughter of Four Dukes! Why are you stingy?! You could have given me ten instead of just eight!

She vented her frustrations at the Duke’s daughters. After abusing them in her head, Mia finally calmed down.

“I’m sorry, His Highness Princess. Under any circumstances, she should have to presented herself to meet you... I’m sorry for such rudeness.”

“Oh, that doesn’t matter. I came here at such a short notice, so it can’t be helped. And if she is sick, then there’s no point forcing here to come. More importantly, Anne please have everyone try these already. You should eat them before they melt.”

Then, after sending a lonely gaze toward the ice desserts once...

“That’s right, why don’t we bring your sister’s share in her room?”

As a reminder, Mia wasn’t saying this out of concern for the sick. It’s just that she cannot stand the sight of seeing other people eat delicious things and she can’t have one.

As for how Anne interpreted her statement...

“Mia-sama ...!” Anne was deeply moved. “Thank you for your intention. I’m sure my sister will be happy that you came to visit us!”

“Ah, that’s nice to hear.”

Compared to Anne’s heartfelt words of gratitude, Mia’s reply was less passionate.
