Reincarnated Princess Wishes To Avoid Death
chapter-50

Book Buddies

Fufufu, it seems that you are exactly the kind of person I expected you to be.

Mia, who heard Chloe’s talk and ranting on, was laughing inwardly.

Mia approached her, of course, not because Chloe was always alone; nor did she approach her out of sympathy…

The reason Mia noticed her was just because she was reading a book by herself every break.

Yeah … Mia was wanting for friends whom she can talk and share about the contents of the book they read. She was looking for book buddies…

That day, Mia was lying on her bed in her room, reading the manuscript sent by Anne’s sister, Elise.

Oh, it’s very interesting to read it again properly like this!

The story was still as far as Mia knew from the previous timeline, but the details were subtly different from what she once heard from Anne. There was a fresh excitement in reading the same story with a different lens.

Mia hums happily, her cheeks propped on her palms while fluttering her legs.

As a princess, her behaviour was unbefitting. Anne usually reproaches her, but this time she just watched over her.

See Mia as a princess of the Tearmoon empire is in a position where she usually has to watch the way she acts. This puts her in a lot of pressure, so Anne wants her to feel as free as possible in her room.

This is better called “spoiling.”

Eventually, after reading the manuscript to the end, Mia sighs with satisfaction.

“Thank you, Anne. I enjoyed it this time as well.”

While returning the manuscript, Mia tilted her head.

“By the way, how are things at home? Is Elise okay?”

For Mia, this manuscript was one of her great pleasures. Elise needs to be healthy to continue and finish writing the story.

“Thank you for your concern. Things at home are fine and Elise is doing well.”

Anne replied with a cheerful smile. She didn’t have to lie or hide anything at all.

“That’s good to hear. If anything happens, tell me right away. Elise is one of my own.”

After telling Anne…

“But isn’t it sad. We’re the only one able to read this …”

…Mia sighed.

The thing about booklovers is that if they read an interesting book, they’ll want to share about it with someone. Anne might be a good book buddy, but unfortunately Anne doesn’t seem to be very interested in this kind of story. It seems that she is reading it because it was written by her sister and not really because she is interested in it.

This story is quite different from the story I heard when I was in the dungeons, I wonder if Anne was just skimming though most of these.

However, Mia also rejects the idea of sharing the story to her close group of followers. They would just shower it with praise because Mia likes it.

I wonder if anyone is suitable …?

While thinking about this, Mia found her. Chloe, an unrivalled book lover who reads books every break.

Instead of talking to her friends, she spends her time reading. She must really love books!

…Actually, Chloe is reading books because it’s awkward to be alone, and she doesn’t like books as much as Mia thinks.

“Would you like to become friends with me?”

“……Huh?”

Chloe blinked her eyes.

“Oh, that …, that, I …, why?”

Chloe was very confused.

She had no idea why Mia asked her that suddenly.

After all, she is the princess of the Great Empire and the most influential person in this class. Moreover, the friends and followers are bigwigs.

Included in those are the gorgeous princes, such as Prince Zion and Prince Abel, who have been longed for by girls in the academy. She also has a close relationship with the name at the top of the school, the daughter of the Duke of Rafina.

Chloe couldn’t find a reason for such a person to call out to her lowlife self.

No, I could actually think of one reason.

Because she felt pity for me.

Did she notice that I was alone, and she felt sorry for me?

Chloe knows that Mia is also called the Saint of the Empire. She assumes that is full of compassion.

However,

If she is, then I don’t like it

The thought of being pitied upon made Chloe feel very miserable…

That is probably why…

“Because you like books. In fact, there is something I want you to read.”

Chloe was confused of Mia’s unexpected answer.

“So, if you’d like, would you become my book buddy?”

It was ten years later that Chloe, who succeeded the company, focused on publishing books and established a huge publishing company that deals with multiple countries.

All of her books always sold out, but it’s notorious that the most famous one came from her alumni, the Imperial Princess, Mia Luna Tearmoon.
