Chapter 62

Mia’s Sigh

“Prince Sion? What do you want?”

Abel tilted his head, curious as to what Sion wanted to talk about.

“I know it is late, but congratulations on your first victory over your brother.”

“Oh, thank you for that.”

Abel smiled carefreely. Then Sion bowed his head a little.

“And I have to apologize to you.”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

Sion continues to bow his head before Abel.

“I thought for sure that you would lose. I thought the difference in ability between you and your brother was quite clear.”

Well! How rude! Prince Abel can’t lose to such a bad brother!

Mia’s liking for Sion has decreased.

However, Abel smiles bitterly at Sion’s words.

“I think you might be right. I was only lucky to win. I didn’t win because of my skills like you Prince Sion.”

Well! How humble!

Mia’s liking for Abel has increased.

“The element of luck is also important, Prince Abel. I also didn’t keep winning just because of my ability.”

Well, it’s natural. Of course, you’ve only won because you are lucky!

Mia agreed with Sion’s assessment of himself.

“I’m honored to hear Prince Sion say that. I’ll take that to heart.”

You are strong, Prince Abel.

What echoed in Abel’s mind was the words that Mia said earlier.

She said:

You are strong.

Be confident.

You can definitely win.

She said, she said.

Then I...

Something changed in Abel’s mind. His mind ran counter from his past defeatist attitude. He remembered Mia’s words. For him, Mia doesn’t lie, and he don’t want to waste her feelings of believing in him. He must uphold her trust in him.

...I have no choice but to win.

“Please be prepared, Prince Sion”

Abel was surprised by what he himself is saying. His voice contained a determination that Abel never had heard before no experienced before.

“Please be prepared, Sion Sol Sunkland”

“Yes?”

Sion was quite puzzled by Abel’s sudden change of demeanor.

“I, Abel Remno, will not lose to you.”

Sion responds with a challenging smile at the dignified declaration of war.

“Well, welcome, Prince Abel Remno. Let’s fight all our hearts out. I swear here to defeat you with all my might.”

Chloe, Anne, and Tiona sighed and swooned over such a hot exchange. Liora sighed at the deliciousness of the grilled meat she made.

B-but... my sandwich! What about my sandwich...?

Being ignored, Mia sighed sadly.
