Chapter 534

Princess Mia clicks her tongue

‘This flow of conversation... is rather dangerous.’

Mia was acutely aware of the peril in the ongoing discussion between Aima and Mayun. Indeed, the exchange between the two of them had the potential to become extremely inconvenient for Mia — a truly unpleasant conversation.

‘A sibling feud among ancestors affecting the present generation — I cannot accept this.’

The present situation, where people had to take responsibility for their ancestors’ blunders, reminded Mia of something or rather someone.

Yes... it was none other than Mia’s own ancestor, the first Emperor. Furthermore, there was a suspicion that Seima, Aima’s ancestor, had been lured by the Chaos Serpents and tempted into accepting the idea of harnessing the power of the wolves.

The situation felt similar to that of the First Emperor, who had been manipulated by the Chaos Serpents into creating the Tearmoon Empire itself.

Of course, no one could be certain about what happened, but that wasn’t the significant issue.

‘Just the fact that this reminds me of the First Emperor is the problem.’

For Mia, the First Emperor was a past that she wanted to forget. A history that she would like to bury in the dark, where it could never see the light of day ever.

Rather, she was supposed to have already done that at the Yellow Moon House.

‘Despite being my ancestor, he has created quite the troublesome situation for me.’

Although she complained, Mia set her brain into action, fueled by the milk.

With some quick thinking, she was able to organise her thoughts and nodded.

‘In any case, what I need to get them to focus on is the “now”! ’

It was necessary to divert the attention from past problems and shift the focus to the present issues, and it had to be done before someone broached the question : “Your Royal Highness, Princess Mia, what is your opinion regarding the blunder committed by your ancestor?”

So, Mia quietly opened her mouth and began her intervention!

“Oh my! How long do you plan to discuss such trivial matters?”

“What do you mean by that, Malong?”

“It is foolish to continue to be held captive by the past. I believe it is about time to let go of those constraints. That’s what I meant.”

Malong was on board and riding Mia’s wave!

Mia did not expect Malong to be the first one to get on board. Such a minor surprise did not cause her to pause. Instead, she embraced the momentum and continued to ride the wave that Malong had created. Mia’s thinking power was as flexible as a jellyfish, flowing unfettered without restraints.

“Shortage of food is an unfortunate event. A situation where the citizens suffer from hunger and thirst would indeed be painful for those at the top overseeing them. However, if it could be used as an opportunity to bring back the people who had once left and help them, then that couldn’t be considered a bad thing.”

Either way, the food supply for the Fire clan had to be provided from somewhere. Mia knew that famines created a breeding ground for epidemics.

And, epidemics know no boundaries...

Therefore, saving the Fire clan from famine was the logical choice.

Nevertheless, it would be challenging to send supplies directly from the Empire, given the uncertainty of their exact location and concerns about the transportation cost. It would be ideal if the Equestrian Kingdom took care of them.

‘All I need to do is steer the discussion so that the Equestrian Kingdom volunteers to help the Fire clan!’

Suddenly, Mia became excited to surf this wave.

“I have alway thought about the Fire clan. That if they did not go extinct then we should find a way to reconcile. Isn’t this the perfect opportunity?”

‘Oh my! As expected of Malong-senpai!

This is going better than I expected! ’

Mia was filled with such joyful thoughts, but...

“It doesn’t matter what you say, but don’t think that we will easily accept it.”

Aima’s cold voice made Mia feel like she was being doused with cold water.

Mia mentally clicked her tongue in reproach at the sullen faced Aima who said those words.

After that, Mia began putting together a theory to persuade Aima.
