Chapter 549

Princess Mia tries her best, realises and gives up

I offer my gratitude to you once again for this time. Thank you for helping our clan. But, why are you doing this? asked Roufa in a serious tone.

Theres no need to even ask about that. Originally speaking, the Fire clan and the Forest clan are brethren born from the same parents. Its natural for us to help when youre in trouble.

In response to Malongs answer, Roufa smiled faintly and shook her head.

Could you please not treat us like fools, young man of the Forest clan. I am not so naive as to think we could receive help without offering something in return.

Roufa said this with a stern expression. One might have expected Mia to feel overwhelmed by the heavy atmosphere, but that was not the case.

After all, this was the same person who had been eating last night with a big smile on her face. Mia had seen her enjoying the food, expressing her delight with various sounds.

Had it not been for the banquet last night, I would have had a totally different image of her. First impressions are important. Hmm, perhaps I need to be careful too.

At that moment, the events of last night suddenly flashed through Mias mind.

Could you please stop talking about things that dont matter? I had said something like that and distanced myself. Perhaps it wasnt such a good idea. I thought that I was able to disguise my intentions well, and the old woman had certainly laughed and didnt seem to be bothered by it. However, the other person is elderly. I am not sure if she has the magnanimity to laugh and overlook the disrespect displayed by some youngster like me. I cannot deny the possibility that in spite of laughing she might have formed a negative impression of me.

Mia suddenly turned her gaze towards Ludwig, to find him staring at her with a serious expression. At that moment, Mia felt a cold shiver run down her spine.

I wonder why? Rafina looked a little displeased. Oh, my! Thats strange Theres nothing wrong thats being said

Furthermore, Mia noticed that it was not just Rafina, Roufa also looked like she wasnt particularly convinced.

Why? This is such a good deal for you, so why arent you happy about it? Hey, what on earth is this?

Mia couldnt help but feel confused. The reaction of those around her was different from what she had expected, greatly heightening her sense of an impending crisis.

Could it be? Perhaps yesterdays incident was actually quite bad after all? Certainly, it might have been seen as disrespectful Does that mean I should have been more apologetic at the start?

As Mia began to panic, someone suddenly spoke to her.

Excuse me. Mia-sama, may I have a moment?

It was a calm, composed voice. However, it sent a chill down Mias spine.

When Mia glanced over, she saw Ludwig, his glasses gleaming. Looking at that expression, Mia understood.

Ah, this was something that often happened in the previous timeline. Well, that means I made a significant enough mistake that Ludwig has to cover for me. This might lead to a lecture later on, huh I really dont want that, but theres no helping it. Besides, pushing back and making the situation even worse would be an even bigger mistake that could lead to an irreversible situation. When Ludwig says that hell handle it, its best to just let him take care of everything.

Having reached a state of resignation and enlightenment, Mia felt a bit exhausted and said, Then, Ludwig, please take care of it.

Mia passed all the responsibility to Ludwig. In response, Ludwig nodded and adjusted his glasses slightly. Well then, on behalf of Mia-sama, if I may
