Reincarnated Princess Wishes To Avoid Death

Chapter 148

Wish Upon a Book

Ah! I’m in a really bad position right now, right?

Mia’s intuition has finally started working and was now warning her. This request is going to be even more dangerous. In fact, the Remno incident won’t even compare to this one.

Heavenly moons! I need to figure out a way to refuse this offer!

She started thinking of an escape plan but discovered it was too late.

“As Prince Sion has said earlier, the Chaos Serpents are everywhere, so you are the only ones I can talk to right now.” (Rafina)

“Hmm? But if they react strongly against the Sacred Scriptures, can’t we just use it to find them?”

Abel asked to which Sion shook his head.

“No, that probably won’t work. Remember the White Crows? While it was Jem who instigated the whole plot, the rest of the members were actually doing the work.”

“I see... it’s not just the members of the Chaos Serpents that we are up against. We are also against the people that are being manipulated buy them.” (Abel)

“That’s right. And they’re never stupid, they’re very cunning. So they never appear in places where they can be exposed. They won’t appear in places where the scriptures are read aloud. And if they need to do so, they would send one of the people they are manipulating.” (Rafina)

“I see. It’s sort of like a miracle that we were even able to capture Jem in the first place.” (Abel)

Abel looks at Mia with eyes full of admiration.

“Indeed. And even in this situation, I still have a room full of people that I fully trust. I should really count myself lucky.” (Rafina)

Rafina also looked at Mia and smiled gently.

“It’s all thanks to Mia. I’m so glad that she is my friend.” (Rafina)

“Oh, oh, of course! I and Rafina are friends. Friends help out each other.” (Mia)

“They most certainly do.” (Rafina)

“Well, if Mia cooperates, then I can’t help but also participate. Mu kingdom was also a direct victim of their actions. I would be happy to help.” (Abel)

Abel said with a firm nod.

Huh? What? I’m cooperating? When did I say that? I’m pretty sure I never said that! (Mia)

“Me too. It’s not a problem that can be left unattended. They even manage to infiltrate my kingdom’s spy agency. Since I don’t know who might be on their side. At least I can share information with the people in this room whom I can trust.” (Keithwood)

“Oh, I don’t know what I can do, but I’ll cooperate too.” (Tiona)

Following Sion, Tiona also declares her pledge.

She muttered to herself in order to ease her disappointment.

“Shining moons, I wish I have some sort of guidance. It doesn’t have to be as detailed as the dairy. Even just like a guiding star... just to guide my way... Maybe something will fall down from the sky.”

Mia gazed at the ceiling wishfully. After a few moments of making sure that there was no savior of hers falling down from above, she sighed and started getting up to leave.

All of a sudden, a bright flash of golden light appeared on her vision.

“Uhya !?”

Mia fell backwards on the ground, screaming so loud that she might she might have received scolding if there was anybody else in the library.

“Heavenly moons, what was that?!”

Mia quickly backs away from the light on her hands and her rear. Only after she was in a faraway safe distance that she stopped ang tried to take a good look at it. The light gradually diminished. A faint shape of a person appeared. She wasn’t sure if she was seeing an illusion.

“Oh, wha-wha-what is that?”

And then Mia suddenly noticed. She was all alone in the large library. Furthermore, she is in the farthest place from the entrance where the staff are. Moreover, it was quite dark and quiet, with the air seemingly stale. In short, it’s a creepy place.

Mia doesn’t believe in ghosts. Well, that’s what she tells herself anyway.

“Oh, oh, ohohoh. Ghost? Only children believe in those kinds of things. The-They don’t actually exist. N-No sharp tee-teeth. N-No bad fairy or de-demons who possess. No-None of those are real.”

Of course this is from an adult woman who is over 20 years old on the inside. It would be ridiculous for her to believe in ghost or goblins. Adults like Mia...

Patter... Patter....

In the fading light, something like a human figure was crawling towards Mia!

“..................!”

Mia screamed but her voice was gone. She just repeatedly opened and closed her mouth. She wanted to call for Anne but she was too scared to make a sound.

She bolted up, dashed out of the library full speed and into her room. Then she jumped into the bed and pulled the covers over her.

... Later on, Anne was soothing Mia was sniffling.

“Mia-sama, it’s okay. There are no ghosts. I’m sure you just had a scary dream...”

To protect her mistress honor, Anne decided never to divulge the events of that night.
