Mia’s Mind Spins

“I-It’s a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty.”

Esmeralda’s dropped from her shoulders to her hips. Then she put them down even more. She finally pinched. She curtsied so nervously that her fingers shook and her movements were all over the place, like an old doll. Her skirt also shook.

“I’m the oldest daughter of House Greenmoon. M-my name is Esmedal:”

This led to a spectacular fail in which she messed up her own name. After a short moment of silence, she turned her head toward Mia. Her eyes filled with tears.

Esmeralda, oh...

Mia shook her head and let out a sigh of disappointment. DiiScôver new stories on no/v/e()/lbin(.)com

How embarrassing to mess up on the big stage! Getting your own name wrong? Unvelievable. I’ll show her how to do it.

She opened her mouth with great ease.

“Allow me, Your Majesty. She is my relative. An Etoiline who was born to one of the Four Dukes of our kingdom. She goes by the name Esmeralalda: ”

And fumbled too!

“—Etoile Greenmoon!”

“Hello. It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Mia Luna Tearmoon, Princess of the Tearmoon Empire.”

Next, Esmeralda and Tiona each greeted the woman, who looked at them, listened, and smiled before saying she was the queen consort.

“Thank you all for taking such good care of Sion,” she said, her voice now full of the warmth of spring.

Then Sion and his brother, who were with King Abram, stepped in. The younger prince had the same gray hair, which was well-kept and looked beautiful. His long forelocks fell over his eyes, which cautiously peered through the strands.

“I think everyone here knows Sion well enough,” the king said as he looked at Echard. “Okay, then. Go ahead and introduce yourself.”

The young boy stepped forward and bowed gracefully when he was told to. “Hello. My name is Echard Sol Sunkland.”

He fidgeted a bit before he managed a endearing, forced smile. It almost made Mia like him right away.

He’s so adorable... No, wait! She stopped herself just in time. He is the one behind Sion’s assassination. I can’t let down my guard.

She couldn’t help but look at him with suspicion. She looked at his cute haircut, then his cute eyes, then the cute way he tilted his head when he was confused...

Nope! He was way too cute for wariness.

I mean, now that I think about it, a cute kid like him couldn’t possibly be planning to kill someone. Most likely, that Lampron guy is using him to get what he wants...

“Ah, by the way, Princess Mia,” the king added. “Count Lampron told me that you like mushroom dishes, so I had one made for you today. Even though there is only one dish, I hope you will like it.”

“Have you! My, I can’t wait!”

What do you know? It sounds like Count Lampron is a nice guy. Most likely, he has nothing to do with what happened. It would be a huge mistake to think of him as a bad guy.

Mia changed her mind right away. Since she changed her mind so often, she should really think about becoming a head surgeon.
