Chapter 119: 110

Stepping stones to a Miracle and Anne’s trust

While Mia was enjoying her exquisite rabbit stew, Anne finally arrived back to Tearmoon.　Despite the tiredness from the trip, she went to see Ludwig immediately. She conveyed Mia’s words and actions accurately and without any omission.

“Gracious moon…”

Ludwig sighed and looked up.

“Sure, I’ve heard that there’s a turmoil in the Kingdom of Remno… but Princess Mia… I completely forgot that Her Highness’s classmates were there.”

Ludwig stood up, cursing himself for his own carelessness.

“If we move the army in this situation, they may be suspicious that we’re trying to invade. If so…”

Originally Ludwig wanted to dispatch Mia’s exclusive Princess Guards to ensure her safety. But that would be problematic diplomatically. The alternative is to dispatch a personnel comparable to an army unit. That is…

“So that’s why I was called, huh?”

Dion shrugged a little after hearing the story from Ludwig and Anne.

“The princess really does a lot of exciting things. Hahahah…”

Ludwig makes a bitter expression while Dion continues laughing.

“It’s not a laughing matter. If something happens to Princess Mia…”

“Isn’t it okay? Prince Sion of Sunkland is famous for being a sword genius. Unless he meets a dangerous guy like me, he’ll probably be able to handle it.”

“That would be true, but … I am still worried …”

Ludwig cut off his words.

“The Kingdom of Remno is in no way on the brink of a revolution.”

“Eh …? What does that mean …?”

Anne leans her head closer. Ludwig keeps quiet for a moment to put his thoughts together, and then continues.

“Revolutions are very risky. If they fail, the participants are executed. So, it does not make sense to take such a risk unless they have no other choice.”

“Uhmm…”

Dion smiled and started explaining to Anne who was clearly confused.

“In other words, revolution is for people who has no other choice but to die. If one is suffering to the point that death is a better alternative, then they can go ahead and rebel against the royal family. If they succeed, then their lives will be better. If not, then they just die a bit sooner.”

“Oh, oh, I see. And is the Kingdom of Remno not yet in such a terrible state?”

“According to the information gathered by our intelligence department anyway…”

Ludwig is steadily building connections among officials to help Mia. He has enough information to grasp the internal affairs of other countries.

“I’ve done a little bit of investigation. It’s true that the tax hike has heightened public dissatisfaction. But the impact should not be fatal. At least for now, anyway…”

Ludwig continues, folding his arms.

“This a revolution shouldn’t have happened. I feel somebody’s manipulating something over there. This may be a sabotage.”

“Someone is trying to ignite the fire of revolution in a place where there shouldn’t be. It’s not just a fire, but arson. Hahaha. That does sound like a dangerous place to be in right now.”

As usual, Dion looks happy.

“But then, on the contrary, this means that it can also be stopped…”

If someone is inciting the riots, then they can just catch that someone. Anne thought if there’s anybody who can do it, it would be her mistress, Mia. In fact, she was thinking that that might be the reason why Mia rushed there in the first place.

“That will be very difficult. But… well… it might be possible before blood flows.”

Dion shook his head a little.

“What do you mean?”

“Death accelerates conflict and makes it irreversible.”

Dion was not talking about ethics, but rather from a practical point of view. Death was irreversible. No one can come back after dying.

“I see. Is that why you didn’t take any military actions against the Lulu Tribe?”

“Well, that’s not the case, though. But at that time, I did want to keep the casualties to a minimum for both sides.”

Dion laughed bitterly.

“What I thought was amazing about Princess was that she acted immediately after hearing the story of Viscount Berman. If even one life had been lost, then it couldn’t be solved neatly. You see, once death enters the picture, the conflict will detach from the problems that caused it in the first place. It will be about the death, rather than the root problem. Then violence will spawn more violence. It will self-propagate until neither side has the option of backing down. But the Princess did not let that happen. She came in quickly and mitigated the danger by pushing the two sides apart before it was too late. Then she went straight to the root of the problem and solved it. It was really remarkable. Princess Mia displayed a masterclass performance in problem-solving.”

“Mia-sama …”

Anne thinks of her mistress in a distant place.

“So, if the princess wants to solve this situation, she should do it before a single death happens whether it’s the side of the Remno Kingdom’s Army or the Revolutionary Army. That’s just impossible if you think about it.”

Neither Ludwig nor Dion expected that that would be possible. But there was one who has full trust in her mistress, Anne…

“Still, if it is Her Highness, then she definitely can…”

She muttered to herself.

The next day, Dion, Ludwig, and Anne set out for the Kingdom of Remno.

The seed of miracles that Mia had unknowingly planted would sprout in the hearts of the revolutionary flames. No one knows yet what kind of fruits it will yield.
