“I would like to report to Prince Sion first, if that’s okay?”
After seeing Keithwood and Sion leave, Mia walked towards Abel. For the time being, she figured that they have a bit of free time before anything happens.
“Prince Abel, how are your injuries?”
“Oh, I was saved by your vassal. Thank you very much. If it continued as it was, I would have been killed. It seems my training wasn’t enough.”
While Abel was speaking, Mia noticed something.
Somehow, Prince Abel seems to be in even better shape than before.
The last time that they had met was before summer holidays. Compared to that time, Abel seems to be a little taller, more muscular, and has a more dignified aura. Mia couldn’t help but breath out a sigh as she stared at Abel’s body.
“Hmm? Princess Mia, what’s wrong?”
Perhaps he noticed Mia’s gaze, Abel tilted his head in wonder. Mia hurriedly looks away from him.
“No-none. There is nothing wrong.”
“But your face seems red… Did you push yourself too hard to come this far?”
“My. How considerate. But aren’t you the one who has been pushing yourself… oh!”
Mia remembered then.
“Hmph, I don’t know! You’re terrible! I’m not falling for that.”
“Well, what’s wrong? Princess Mia, what did I do?”
Mia tells Abel angrily…
“You were ignoring me earlier and doing something dangerous. Prince Abel! I’m sure you didn’t even spare a thought about how I felt.”
Then she turned her face away with her arms crossed. Her expression was even crosser.
“And not just that. There’s also Sion. I can’t believe him! He actually tried to hurt you! The two of you… I swear… ”
Abel first watched Mia with fondness upon seeing her angry. Then he made a bitter smile.
“So if it is me, it is Prince Abel. But if it’s Prince Sion, it is just Sion, huh? ”
He muttered in a small voice.
For a moment, Mia didn’t know what he was talking about. Then she understood…
Oh my! Is this jealousy? Prince Abel is jealous? Is he jealous that I call Sion without honorifics?

Mia was able to accurately identify Abel’s hidden feelings. Mia’s intuition had always been very sharp in situations when it wasn’t needed.
Then… a grin slowly spread on her lips.
To make a big deal of how we call each other… Oh, how cute… he is such a child.
Mia has conveniently forgotten that she was also perturbed and embarrassed when she first dropped the ‘Prince’ from Sion.
“This is to hide our identities. It doesn’t have any deeper meaning. You understand we are currently undercover, right?”
“Oh… I see, that was the case… I’m glad!”
The sight of a relieved Abel filled Mia with delight. She was practically glowing with delight. Her anger from just before were all but forgotten already. Mia’s memory has always been quite selective.
Well, I guess it can’t be helped. I suppose I will also drop the “prince” for you. In fact, it should be quite normal for me, an adult, to call you just “Abel”.
So with the full confidence of an adult, full of maturity and composure, she calls out to the young prince.
“Ah…, uh, that… ah, ah, Abel…”
Indeed, with maturity and composure…
She quietly added “prince.” Fortunately, the person who was listening didn’t seem to hear it. Abel looked at Mia with a surprised look.
“Uhm… I won’t mind if… if you call me… Mia – just Mia. And then… I’ll also call you… A… A… Abel.””
Mia said stammering with the full maturity and composure of an adult. Abel’s face beamed.
“Is it really okay? It’s a great honor!”
A child-like pure, open-minded, dazzling smile from the bottom of his heart appeared on Abel’s face. This is totally opposite of the manly and regal Abel from just now. This gap-moe made Mia’s heart to beat uncontrollably. She noticed her cheeks becoming warmer and she started to feel hot. The mature and composed adult is totally gone.
“Ah, uh, then …, that, see, then Mia …”
“Ye-yes?!”
Hearing her name being called like that, Mia straightened up involuntarily. Her heavy breathing made it hard for her to reply.
“Yes, A-A- Abel…”
Just calling Abel’s name made this mature and composed adult to turn red with embarrassment that she hid her face by facing down. For the next few moments, these two lovebirds were shamelessly flirting without seemingly a care in the world or the situation they were in.
Eventually, the Sunkland pair, Sion and Keithwood, finished their discussion and returned to their group. Sion’s face was pale and Keithwood’s face was sternly serious.
“Prince Abel, Mia, there is something I need to tell you.”
Sion’s voice was stiff and every word he uttered seemed to be difficult to say out.
