Reincarnated Princess Wishes To Avoid Death

Princess Mia, Files a Complaint Against Her Future Self!

After school the day after the opening mass, Mia came to the library with a sad look but a grim determination.

“Backdoor dealings or not, I still need to make it look like I have a campaign for appearance’s sake. Or Rafina is going to have my hide!”

Mia was keenly aware of how underprepared she was. She knows she cannot win through conventional means. But without proper camouflage, it would be quite obvious that she got her victory through underhanded means. She needed to create a situation that would make seem her victory natural. Or at least convincing enough to satisfy Rafina.

Convincing Rafina… that would be difficult.

Mia is already becoming depressed.

By the way, there was currently no student around Mia. The Mia factions are planning about what kind of election campaign will be held in the future. They were doing the hard work of actually running a campaign.

Coming from Tearmoon Empire, the concept of elections is foreign to Mia as there were no elections in the Empire. After talking to Chloe, Mia learned that in nations with elections, candidates frequently engaged in active promotion of themselves. They employed carious methods such as distributing portraits for their identity to be known or hiring a bard to spread their achievements.

Since it’s too late for Mia to have her portrait done, it may be okay to just write her name on a parchment and hang them up in various locations throughout the school. Chloe was part of the campaign meeting and was proposing various ideas.

I’m a little worried if it’s just Chloe, but with Tiona with her… maybe it is okay.

Chloe alone will not be able to suppress the children of other nobles, but Tiona is with her. Tiona, who expressed her support for the event in the classroom and in the tense atmosphere, was highly respected by the Mia faction. Tiona’s abilities aside, Mia is confident that Tiona wouldn’t do anything dirty that would anger Rafina.

Besides, while everyone was silent, Tiona was the first to speak up. That alone was enough merit for Mia to let Tiona lead the campaign.

“It seems that she’s on good terms with Chloe, and I hope it works well… but I’m going to have too much work to do, and my head will hurt.”

After a small sigh, Mia propped her chin in her palm and sighed.

“Anyway, I have to figure out first my election pledge. What am I going to do if I become president…? I have to make sure that it gets known early.”

While ruminating on Chloe’s advice, Mia started writing down what she wanted to achieve as a student council president:

1. Increase the number of snacks in the cafeteria.
2. Increase the number of jams that can be put into the tea.
3. Winter mushroom hot pot party (to be made by Mia).
4. Expansion of bathing facilities (interested in steam baths, etc.)

…And so on.

What came out was a pure and unfiltered list of Mia’s personal desires. It was a waste of paper. As she continued to scribble, she heard a voice behind her.

“Mia-neesama.”

“Hmm? Oh, Bel and Anne! You came.”

Mia’s expression brightened when she saw the two reinforcements coming to the library. Aside from Bel, Mia has high expectations of Anne as her confidant.

“I heard that you were here and so we rushed in. I will help you too.”

“I’m grateful, Anne. I really want you to lend me your wisdom.”

Then, Mia immediately showed the written paper to them.

“This is……?”

“If I become the student council president, these are the things I want to do.”

Mia said proudly.

“Mia-neesama… this”

Bel carefully studied the contents… and then looked at Mia’s face,

“These sound really amazing!”

Bel’s eyes glowed with wonder.

“I knew Mia-neesama was amazing. I think this cream pie wrap is really nice! I’m in great agreement with the increase in sweets!”

It was a great success! Bel wiped the drool of her face as she continued to look at the additional menu for the cafeteria. In that moment, it was unmistakable that she was really the granddaughter of Mia.

“That’s right. Elise often said that it’s important to come up with ideas freely and to think outside the box.”

Anne also shows an impressed expression at Mia. Mia felt better after receiving the reaction of the two.

“Hmm! I can feel it. I’m on a roll! I’ll keep on thinking outside the box!”

Mia’s mind was racing…right off the cliff.

Just then, a new voice joined the conversation.

“Hey, Mia.”

A new person has appeared in the library.

“My! Abel! Did you come to help?”

“Oh, I heard you’re holing up a lot in the library. I’ve also been researching to make myself useful. I have been looking into the things that Miss Rafina has done since she became a president.” After saying that, Abel said with a serious look. “There is an old saying in the Kingdom of Remno: know your enemy to win the battle.”

“I see, that’s true. It makes sense to anticipate what kind of election promises Rafina will make.” Then Mia smiles at Abel. “I’m glad I could count on you, Abel.”

As a matter of fact, Mia was very happy just that Abel came to see her. Seeing Mia, Abel looked away with a shy look. Then he suddenly looked up at Bel.

“Oh, you are…”

Beyond that line of vision was the figure of Bel staring at Abel with her eyes wide and incredulous.

“You’re the rumored… Is it a young lady who is a relative of Mia?”

“Yes. Nice to mee you, Grandfath… I mean Prince Abel. My name is Miabel. You can call me Bel.”

“Oh, my best regards, Bel. I’m Abel Remno. Prince of the Kingdom of Remno.”

Abel looked at Bel with a gentle smile, and then giggled.

“Oh? What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. It’s just that when you think about it, I think Miabel is like a combination of Mia’s name and my name.”

That being said, Mia finally notices.

Miabel = Mia + Abel.

Indeed, Bel’s name can be thought of as such…

“Oh, Abel, you’re so silly… Ohoho.”

Mia blushed a little and laughed.

Oh, how terribly silly of them. I can tell that they loved us very much, but even so, a name like that is just so straightforward. What in the moons was my child thinking, giving her a name like that? You need to put more thought into –

“Yes, it is the name my grandmother gave to me, and I love it very much. It means a lot to me.”

What in the dark moons are you doing, future me?!

Mia screamed inwardly.
