Chapter 15: It’s an Attack!!!

A young woman walked through the halls of the girls’ dormitory, her damp hair swaying ever so slightly from the wind as she took each light step. Now free from filth and fresh from the bath, her brilliant hair seemed to sparkle each time it swayed. Her silky-smooth cheeks were dyed pink, and while her eyes were dazed and unfocused, it only granted her a charming sense of otherworldliness. Her dainty lips opened slightly as she gave a troubled sigh. This girl was...Mia, surprisingly! Yes, you read that right. This was a description of Mia, her head giving off steam as she gave a troubled groan.

If you add a bit of exaggeration just as Elise Littstein, the most famous author on the continent, did while writing the Princess Chronicles, this is what you get. Some rumors say that this was the origin of using descriptors to exaggerate text, but anyways...having alighted from her bath, Mia was currently deep in thought.

“Could that girl really be Grandmother Patricia?”

“But Professor Ludwig never said anything about that! Is that really possible?” Bel seemed doubtful, but Mia scolded her with a haughty wave of her finger.

“Listen, Bel. This is an incredibly important piece of advice for any princess. If we assume Patricia really is my grandmother and she isn’t, or if we assume she isn’t my grandmother and she really is...if our expectations don’t match reality, which one is worse? That’s what we really need to consider.”

Now that Patricia was calling Mia her teacher, Mia was in full teacher mode! She elegantly regaled her chickenheart philosophy.

“If we prepare for the worst and the worst never comes, we’ll be able to laugh it off as us being cowards. But if we don’t prepare for the worst and the worst does come? Well, there’s no laughing at that.”

Mia’s ultimate strategy was to prepare for a famine, and if one never came, to just throw a festival and eat up all the provisions they had stored. Now, she was instilling the same onto her granddaughter.

“I see... Prepare for the worst, right?”

“Right. They say one who prepares never suffers... Well, they also say that there’s a mushroom waiting at every fall, so you can play things a bit by ear, however...” Mia folded her arms. “Most importantly, I really can’t think it right to leave a girl who has been educated by the Serpents in the care of another. If I want to be able to enjoy my food to the fullest, I’ll have to take it upon myself to be her teacher,” she stated, proudly. Being called a teacher was more fun than she could have ever imagined.

“So, this is how Grandmother Mia approaches things...” Bel muttered, impressed.

“Yes. What’s important is making proper preparations and having full stock. Thus, we have to plan our explanation to Miss Rafina carefully. We need to think of an excuse first, and there’s also you to explain... It seems like we have a lot to think about.”

“Right!” exclaimed Bel.
