<br>**[04:17] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Is that so?<br>**[04:18] Chloe**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If we had a reading club or something,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;we could gather even more book lovers.<br>**[04:24] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh?<br>**[04:25] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*A club?*<br>**[04:29] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pardon my intrusion.<br>**[04:32] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*I have to be able to ride a horse,*<br>**[04:34] Mia (Young)**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;so that I can escape quickly*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if a revolution should occur.*<br>**[04:41] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*The solution to that problem is*<br>**[04:43] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*the equestrian club!*<br>**[04:45] Malong**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What's this? What brings you here, miss?<br>**[04:48] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, I remember you...<br>**[04:53] Malong**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, right. Sorry about what happened.<br>**[04:57] Malong**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm a second-year student at the<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;academy and head of the equestrian club.<br>**[05:00] Malong**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Lin Malong.<br>**[05:02] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm Mia Luna Tearmoon.<br>**[05:05] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;From the sound of your name, are you<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;perhaps from the Equestrian Kingdom?<br>**[05:10] Malong**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What an honor that the princess<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of Tearmoon knows of us.<br>**[05:14] Malong**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So, what can I do for you?<br>**[05:17] Malong**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I hope you aren't here to ask me to<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; dispose of the horse that sneezed on you.<br>**[05:23] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What do you mean?<br>**[05:25] Malong**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I mean, it ruined your dress, didn't it?<br>**[05:28] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That isn't a big deal.<br>**[05:32] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If one has to choose between a dress and a<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;horse, it's clear which is more valuable.<br>**[05:37] Malong**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh.<br>**[05:39] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*That's right.*<br>**[05:40] Mia (Young)**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A dress won't let you escape*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a revolutionary army,*<br>**[05:44] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*but a horse will!*<br>**[05:47] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Anyway, since this is the equestrian club,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; can I learn how to ride a horse?<br>**[05:53] Malong**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Of course.<br>**[05:55] Malong**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But why would a princess<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;wish to ride a horse?<br>**[05:59] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because a horse will take me<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;however far I wish to go.<br>**[06:07] Mia (Young)**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's right! As far away from the*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;revolutionary army as possible!*<br>**[06:12] Malong**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Her words...*<br>**[06:14] Malong**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;These are not the words of one who only*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;sees a horse as a tool of war or a pet.*<br>**[06:21] Malong**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It would seem there's more*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to her than meets the eye.*<br>**[06:25] Narrator**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mia's words truly struck a*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;chord in Malong's heart.*<br>**[06:30] Abel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Princess Mia?<br>**[06:34] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prince Abel!<br>**[06:36] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Have you perhaps joined the<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;equestrian club as well?<br>**[06:41] Abel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes.

I thought you might<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;be well-versed in it.<br>**[15:19] Chloe**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes. I know about cooking.<br>**[15:22] Chloe**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I read about it in a book before.<br>**[15:24] Mia (Young)**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"Know about cooking" and*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"read about it in a book"...*<br>**[15:28] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*R-Remember, Mia, any port in a storm.*<br>**[15:32] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The truth is, I would like to make a<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;lunch for the sword fighting tournament,<br>**[15:36] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and I thought you might<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;be able to do it with me.<br>**[15:39] Chloe**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is true that I don't<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;have any plans that day...<br>**[15:43] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then please do join me!<br>**[15:45] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Yes!

Yes.<br>**[19:02] Keithwood**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*As a prince of the Kingdom of Sunkland,*<br>**[19:04] Keithwood**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;were he to receive a lunch*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from a particular person,*<br>**[19:08] Keithwood**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it may have negative political*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;consequences later.*<br>**[19:12] Sion**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You seem to have something to say.<br>**[19:14] Keithwood**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No, no. Nothing in particular.<br>**[19:17] Keithwood**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Your reasoning isn't wrong, but I think*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you could afford to loosen up a little bit.*<br>**[19:23] Keithwood**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Well then, I'll leave you to your training.<br>**[19:26] Sion**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bye.<br>**[19:30] Keithwood**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Despite what he said,*<br>**[19:32] Keithwood**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;His Highness might feel sad about not*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;getting to receive a lunch from anyone.*<br>**[19:37] Keithwood**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Still, the options that wouldn't*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;cause an incident are limited.*<br>**[19:42] Keithwood**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Perhaps someone from a major nation*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;on par with Sunkland.

And I was hoping to inquire whether<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I could give one to Prince Sion.<br>**[20:11] Keithwood**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I see.<br>**[20:13] Keithwood**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A collaborative effort with both*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Princes Abel and Sion as recipients...*<br>**[20:17] Keithwood**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*That would certainly get around the problem.*<br>**[20:21] Keithwood**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hm...<br>**[20:25] Tiona**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Keithwood?<br>**[20:27] Keithwood**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, nothing. I understand.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll inform Prince Sion.<br>**[20:32] Tiona**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I greatly appreciate it.<br>**[20:34] Tiona**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Now I must take my leave.<br>**[20:36] Keithwood**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As I would expect of Princess Mia.*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A well-considered plan on multiple levels.*<br>**[20:41] Keithwood**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Wisdom of the Empire*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;continues undiminished.*<br>**[20:46] Keithwood**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But why do I still have this strange<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;unease and a sinking feeling?<br>**[20:52] Abel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, you're making it yourself?<br>**[20:54] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes. We'll be making the lunches<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;together for you and Prince Sion.<br>**[21:00] Abel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For Prince Sion, too?<br>**[21:02] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We're amateur cooks, so I'm afraid the taste<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;may pale in comparison to store-bought.<br>**[21:09] Mia (Young)**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Phew. Now I have my defensive measures*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;in place in case it tastes awful.*<br>**[21:15] Abel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Actually, the idea of you making it<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; yourself makes me happy.<br>**[21:19] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You're happy about it?<br>**[21:21] Abel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When I was younger, my mom and<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;older sister cooked for me.<br>**[21:25] Abel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It always made me happy.<br>**[21:27] Abel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So thank you. I'm looking forward to it.<br>**[21:30] Mia (Young)**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What? Did I just make*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;things harder for myself?*<br>**[21:33] Abel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, here we are.<br>**[21:42] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I didn't know there was<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;such a lovely spot here!<br>**[21:47] Abel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm glad you like it.<br>**[21:49] Abel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Remember to watch your step.<br>**[21:54] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, thank you.<br>**[22:01] Mia (Young)**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, how wonderful to walk along such*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a pretty lake shore with a gentleman.*<br>**[22:06] Mia (Young)**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This was unthinkable to me*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;when I was in the dungeon.*<br>**[22:09] Abel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Still, I must admit that<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm slightly disappointed.<br>**[22:12] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You are? Why?<br>**[22:14] Abel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm disappointed I won't get to be<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the only one who eats your food.<br>**[22:21] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*I-I-I can't believe he just said that!*<br>**[22:24] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*Could it be that he's a simpleton?!*<br>**[22:27] Abel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Are you all right?

I've never swung<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;my sword this hard before.<br>**[22:56] Abel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But I have an opponent<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I desperately want to beat.<br>**[23:00] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An opponent to beat?<br>**[23:02] Abel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes. Which is why I also feel<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;better about the lunch thing now.<br>**[23:07] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh? What do you mean?<br>**[23:10] Abel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If I were to be the only<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;one who eats your food,<br>**[23:14] Abel**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;people might say that's why<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I was able to defeat Prince Sion.<br>**[23:19] Mia (Young)**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So you mean...<br>**[23:23] Narrator**<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mia realized that the level*<br>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of expectation surrounding*<br>**[23:26] Narrator**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*her handmade lunch was through the roof.*<br>***SIGN***&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Illustration by Fujiazuki
