Lunchbox Promise
“Huh? A swordsmanship tournament?”
That day, Mia was enjoying lunch in the cafeteria surrounded by her girl friends.
“Yes, the boys are excited. It was going to be held at the academy in the last week before summer vacation …”
“Did you not know?”
“Hmmm … I don’t remember … Uh, my head”
Mia suddenly suffers from a headache when she tries to remember.
Swordsmanship tournament ……, Alone …….
Somehow, it seems that the words had very unpleasant memories …
“So, it seems that it is customary to prepare a lunch box for the boy you like at the swordsmanship tournament, but I wonder if Your Highness has already arranged it …”
Lunchbox!
There was a memory that vividly revived in Mia’s mind.
The memory of the previous timeline, in front of her, a gorgeous lunchbox that she ordered enthusiastically …
“I’ll let him say that he won the championship thanks to the lunch box I gave him!”
Mia was so enthusiastic, but Prince Zion, to whom she gave it to, never even accepted it.
She couldn’t tell anyone around her about that incident, thus she had no choice but to eat it alone.
While crying alone in the room …
That was … it was very painful ………….
Suddenly, tears run down Mia’s cheeks.
“Wha, Hi, Your Highness! Why are you suddenly crying?”
“Someone! Give me a handkerchief!”
Seeing Mia shed tears silently, the people around her panicked.
“Oh, no, it’s nothing. Thank you for telling me about it.”
After wiping her tears with her fingertips, Mia smiled and said to her entourage.
Unlike the stupid Prince Sion, Prince Abel is a gentleman, so he will eat it properly. I’m sure of it!
The situation is different from that time, and moreover, the Mia now is a bit different from the previous timeline.
For the time being, I should make him promise in advance that he’ll accept my lunchbox.
Yes, she now has a little common sense. Mia knows that the other person also their own circumstances. Even without Mia, that person could still bring his own lunch. That is why it is necessary to tell that person in advance that she will bring him lunch.
I should go and tell him soon.
After school that day, Mia went to Abel.
This day was also the meeting day of the equestrian club, so it was easy to find him.
“Prince Abel”
“Oh, Princess Mia. Are you planning of practicing horse riding today?”
Abel said that when she saw Mia dressed in a dignified riding suit, horse-riding waistcoat and long trousers.
“Senior Ma Long praised you. He thought it was a whim of a princess, but he said you were serious about it.”
Club activities basically require free participation. It’s not necessary to come every day, and it’s a school with many free-spirited aristocrats, so it’s relatively rare for someone to come as often as Mia.
Mia comes every day because it is essential to learn horse riding skills in order to secure a means of escape, but to tell the truth, she would rather be messing around in her room after school.
“For the time being, I only have this horse now, but would you like to ride it with me?”
With that said, Abel took off his gloves and extended his hand to Mia.
“Are you sure? Then, I’ll take you up on your offer …”
Mia reaches out to take Abel’s hand
“My……?”
“Hmm? What’s wrong?”
“No, your palm is much firmer, isn’t it?”
After stroking Abel’s palm, Mia looked up at Abel with a smile.
“Hmm, oh. Actually, there is a swordsmanship tournament soon, and I have been training …”
“I see, you’re doing your best …”
By the way, Mia wondered if the knights in her home country also had such stiff palms …?
In front of her, Abel looks like a boy who still has innocence, but somehow, she noticed a certain toughness on his face … Mia’s heart began pounding.
Riding behind Abel, Mia slowly opened her mouth, while wrapping her arms around his back.
“Um, Prince Abel, on the day of the swordsmanship tournament …”
“Yeah? What’s wrong?”
“That …, is there anyone who has promised you a lunchbox?”
“No, not really …”
His response gave Mia a wave of relief.
“That’s perfect. If that is so, would you like if I bring you lunchbox?”
“Eh? For me …?”
“Yes, I will do my best to bring you something that will help you win.”
At this time, Mia was relieved.
With this, she shouldn’t be all alone eating lunch on her own like that time. That sense of relief, half-hearted common sense, put Mia off guard.
She knew it from before, but she gave it little thought and have forgotten.
The lunch boxes have to be ordered early.
All the shops are very busy on the day, so she should’ve made a reservation a week in advance.
“Ufufu, I’m looking forward to it.”
Mia, who smiles gently, never imagined the future that will soon hit her.
