Princess Mia’s Mental Overload: Part 2
Inspired by Anne’s words, Mia immediately set out to gather helpers.
However, there are not a lot of connections that she can use. After all, the girls that usually surround Mia are all aristocratic ladies who have never cooked, and most of the students attending St. Noel Academy are also nobles who have never cooked.
However, there are a few exceptions.
First, Mia went to Chloe.
Her family, the Folkroads, are aristocrats, but their title was bought by money. Even now, their lifestyle is that of a merchant. There was a good chance that she could cook.
“Ah, Princess Mia …, eh? Cooking …?”
Chloe leaned his head upon hearing a sudden question,
“Yes, I know. I’ve read about it before.”
She answered with a smile, but Mia did not fail to notice her choice of words: “I know … I have read it …”
This child also seems to be useless.
From Chloe’s words, Mia immediately noticed danger. Still, she invited Chloe to make a lunch box. It is better than nothing for the time being.
“Yes, if it’s that day, I don’t have any plans, so it’s okay …”
Saying goodbye to Chloe who kindly agreed, Mia runs further to the scout more people.
Next, Mia headed for …………,
“… No one. There’s nobody else that I can think about!”
She already hit a dead end. This was a shock to Mia especially because she was proud of herself in working hard to make connections.
In the first place, trying to find someone who can cook at this school is a difficult task!
When she was going back to her room to sulk and sleep, she saw Anne coming.
“Mia-sama! I found it. A person who can cook”
“Really? Is that true!? Speaking of people who can cook from your acquaintance …”
After only thinking for a brief moment, Mia immediately reaches a conclusion.
“Oh, is it Liora?”
Mia thought of Liora, Tiona’s servant. It was very possible…
“Ah, no …. Liora’s extent of knowledge in cooking seems to be that she is good at handling the wild rabbits she hunts; and then roasting them on the spot…”
It’s a rather wild method of cooking. It may be an indispensable skill if someone lives in the forest as forest people, but it is unknown how much of that knowledge can be practically used for making a lunchbox.
“It seems that Tiona, not Liora, is good at cooking.”
“Tee!? Tiona-san … is that?”
Mia involuntarily squirmed.
As much as possible, Mia have tried avoiding her so as not to make any connections thus Tiona won’t get close to her. After all, Tiona is one of the people who put her on the guillotine. But …
“Yes, I sometimes helped in the kitchen of my house …”
Indeed, the Rudolvon family is a poor aristocrat family to a level that can hardly even be called aristocrats anymore. Moreover, they have a vast land they use for farming. While most of the servants were farming out in the fields, Tiona had to help with the cooking. It looks like she will be useful addition to the lunchbox making team.
“Uh, no. I guess it’s unavoidable …”
Despite the revulsion of the idea showing up in her face, Mia visited Tiona.
“Oh, Princess Mia… what’s wrong?”
Tiona, who was surprised at the sudden visit, asked Mia.
“I heard that you are good at cooking Miss Tiona. Is that true?”
“Yes, That’s right”
Tiona nodded confidently. Can this be done? For a moment, Mia was overjoyed, but …
“I used to chop vegetables all the time. I’m also confident about slicing.”
When Mia heard that, she immediately become anxious.
“……Other than that?”
“I can mince perfectly too.”
Mia may have no knowledge of cooking, but Mia’s gut instinct is screaming that something isn’t right. It seems that Tiona isn’t that reliable as well.
Still, Mia has no choice but to rely on her. She needed all the help she can get, after all!
“Miss Tiona, I’m actually thinking of making a lunch box for Prince Abel on the day of the swordsmanship tournament. Would you like to do it together?”
“Eh? That’s … I didn’t imagine being able to do it with the princess … And I don’t have anybody to it to…”
When Mia heard those words… suddenly, a devilish inspiration was born in Mia’s mind.
“Oh, that’s right. Then he … Oh! Well, why don’t you make a lunchbox and bring it to Prince Sion?”
Mia’s expectation is that this lunchbox making is unlikely to succeed. If they’re not good at it, this may affect the results at the swordsmanship tournament, especially if Prince Abel gets sick because he ate the weird stuff that Mia and her friends made.
But … if she could also feed it to Prince Sion …
If I do it this way, I can also take Sion down. This is my chance for a revenge!
Lunchbox making has already reached a stage where it cannot be reneged. It’s good if they succeed, but if they fail, then she wasn’t going to fail alone. She’s going to take down her archenemy with her.
When life gives you lemons, squeeze their bitter juices into the eyes of your enemies. Let’s take advantage of this as an opportunity to reward our hated enemies! Yes, Mia thought positively! She is a positive thinker. Right? Right?
Moreover, I’m not the only one who is bad, but also Tiona. Prince Sion shouldn’t be able to resent me alone. He can’t blame me on my own. This is a great way to get revenge!
Mia showed an evil smile.
However, by involving Prince Sion, her plan rolled in the wrong direction.
