Chapter 104

Princess Mia and Correct Way to Do Artificial Respiration

Immediately after the feeling of floating, struck the feeling of cold water. Mia, who fell headfirst into the river, was saved by the depth of the water... and the next moment, she was about to be killed by that depth.

“Ababa Baba ...”

Yes, Mia ... can’t swim. She had hardly been to any water in her two lifetimes, and so she had no idea how to handle herself. She may love bathing and large pools, but swimming was never a part of Tearmoon culture

“Aba... blub... blub...”

While spitting bubbles from her mouth, the powerful torrents pulled Mia’s body deeper into the bottom. She couldn’t breathe and her chest became painful. Her eyesight began to falter.

Ughhh... This is really really bad...

Mia couldn’t figure out which was up or down as she kept being swept by the torrent. She was already fatigued from the ordeal in the wagon. She belched out her final breath of air as she reached her limit.

Oh, I’m dying here. So, this is it. At least this might be better than dying at the guillotine... Urgh...

She felt a little bit better thinking about this. What was left behind was a sad, sweet, and sour, slightly bitter aftertaste as her consciousness sank into the darkness.

“... Princess. Hey, reply, Princess Mia!”

She heard a voice calling her somewhere far away. Next, the feeling her body being shaken. Then a few slaps to her cheeks. There was a sourness in her mouth. But everything felt as if they are so far away. Her senses were dulled.

Uh, what is this? What happened to me ...?

Mia tried to open her eyes with all her energy. Immediately in front of her was Prince Sion’s dashing face just mere inches from her own.

Prince Sion? What on earth?

Vaguely hazy thoughts came into her mind about something Anne told her before.

Oh, Anne said that she learned from Elise’s novel a way of saving drowned people by breathing them air through a kiss.

She was slow but the current reality was starting to catch up.

I remember saying that it was indecent... but even then, I actually thought it was wonderfully romantic... oh?

In front of her was Sion with a very relieved expression.

“I... I thought I’d die.”

“Yes. That torrent was certainly dangerous.”

No! It was because of you! It was painful because your finger was stuck in the back of my throat! Do you really want a lady to say that out loud?!

Mia was even more embarrassed because her mind was full of dirty thoughts earlier. But at the end of the day, Sion saved her life.

“Thank you for your help. Prince Sion”

To her surprise, her polite words of gratefulness were met with a serious look.

“It’s a little bit early to thank me...”

Sion looks around after saying that. Following his line of sight, Mia also looks around as well.

“Where...... where are we?”

“Downstream from where we fell. From the map I saw before, my best guess is that we are in the north-western part of Remno Kingdom.”

“Oh. We were able to enter the Kingdom of Remno...”

“Indeed, we were able to get in... but.”

Sion continued to have a serious look in his face.

“This location is pretty bad. I think it’s quite a distance from the royal capital. And to cross back to the border, we need to cross again that river... and...”

Without saying a word, Mia followed again Sion’s line of sight that pointed to a high mountain. To escape, they have to cross that mountain to reach the border.
