Chapter 21: Princess Mia Has Changed a Bit

“All right, then...”

Their merry tea party had been held just before supper, and by the time Patricia had eaten her meal and sluggishly readied herself for bed, she was already half-asleep. Mia ushered her into bed where she quickly fell into a deep slumber, adorable noises leaving her lips with each breath. Her sudden arrival in an unfamiliar place must have left her exhausted, and she looked to be the young girl she was with her eyes closed in sleep.

She looked just like a doll while she was awake, but perhaps that’s just a mask she puts on.

Consciously putting on an eternal poker face to avoid anyone discerning your true emotions seemed like an axiom the Serpents would teach. Mia glanced at the bed next to her where Bel lay deeply asleep as well. Playing with Citrina and Lynsha must have tired her out. The sight of the two beckoned a yawn to Mia’s lips, but she couldn’t allow herself to sleep just yet.

“I have to tell Anne the truth about Bel first.” Mia wanted to be the one to spill the beans to at least Anne, Elise, and Ludwig. In fact, she didn’t just want to—she felt it was something she had to do.

They’ve done a lot to look after my granddaughter in the future... I must thank them for that. Plus, I need to borrow Ludwig’s wisdom...

Ludwig had been the one to think of the Timeline-Tremor Theory. If he learned of Mia’s grandmother’s time travel, he may be able to further perfect it.

In the future that Bel came from, I probably made this request much further down the line...

Small discrepancies had already begun to appear between this timeline and the future that Bel knew, making it clear that the appearance of Patricia had changed the flow of history. Thus, Mia wanted to make use of all she could in order to get the most accurate information possible. Or rather, she was just thinking that she needed to let someone smarter in on everything in order to avoid any danger. But anyways...

“Anne, could you sit here for a moment?” Mia patted her bed.

“Yes, what is it?” Anne seemed puzzled, but Mia’s face was stern.

“I need to speak with you about Bel.” She glanced over at the girl who was sleeping beside her. She looked completely tranquil—or rather, she looked too relaxed. Mia muttered to herself that “a princess shouldn’t let anyone see such a slovenly face” before once again looking at Anne, staring straight into her eyes. “You may not believe me, but...Bel is my granddaughter.”

“Huh?” Anne’s eyes opened in shock. She seemed a bit panicked. “B-But...what does that mean?”

“It’s just as I stated. She is my granddaughter. Don’t bother asking me how she time traveled, however. I can barely explain it myself. Still, there is no doubt that she is indeed my dear granddaughter.” With that, Mia shared everything: Bel’s secret and the great favor Anne had done for her. “The last time she appeared here, she came from a terrible future where Tearmoon had been destroyed.
