Princess Mia Pumps Her Arms
When Shalloak Cornrogue started to fall, Tatiana was the first to help. She ran to his side and tried to hold up his big body, but she couldnβt. He fell down, taking her with him, but she made sure to put her arms between the ground and his head as they went down. Then she got out from under him and tilted his head to keep his airway open. Then she gave a quick series of orders to the people around her, telling them to help with first aid. Mia couldnβt stop looking at her in amazement at how fast and sure she had moved.
The fact that things changed quickly also didnβt help. Mia had put Shalloak in a tight spot and was ready to kill his image with a brilliant βcoup de grace.β She didnβt expect her opponent to fall before she could taste blood after she went for his neck. She turned to Tatiana as she watched four guys work together to carry him away.
βDo you think that heβll be okay?β
βOh, um, probablyβ¦ I think this is just a transient attack. His breathing has slowed down, so as long as he restsβ¦β
βAn attack? Is it a sickness of some kind?β
βWe wonβt know if itβs a disease until we check it out. I have heard about attacks like this, though. There was a rich noble in some country who died after a very similar thing happened. They ate a lot of rich foods, stayed inside all the time, and didnβt exercise at all.β
Tatiana made a sad face and crossed her arms.
βIn other words, this kind of illness is caused by eating too much and not exercising enough.β
Mia paid close attention while unconsciously rubbing her stomach.
Too much foodβ¦and not enough exercise?
βThank goodness, itβs still not too late. I, umβ¦ May I be excused, Your Highness? I want to find out about Master Shalloak.β
βHuh? Sure,β Mia said as she jumped back to attention. βOf course, youβd want to check on him. Go ahead.β
She quickly said βyesβ and felt her belly again.
βHmmβ¦ Tell me, where is the room where they took Shalloak to get treated? Oh, itβs in the castle, but itβs not too close. Hm, hm, I seeβ¦ What a good thing. Yes, definitely check on himβ¦β
She kept nodding, but now it looked like she was thinking.
βIf thatβs the case, Tatiana, Iβll go with you.β
βHuh? You will? Why?β
Tatiana looked at Mia in shock, and Mia quickly turned her body to hide her stomach from the girlβs innocent but interested eyes.
βWhy? Well, how do I say thisβ¦?β
There was no way to tell the truth. She wasnβt about to say that she had suddenly become interested in working out before bed. Her sense of pride wouldnβt let her. But because she couldnβt tell her, she had no reason to check on Shalloak. There was nothing she could do to help him, and they were rivals to boot. She was not obligated to come. Unless she had a very good reason to leave, it made sense for her to stay here and keep talking with Yuhal. After wrinkling her face and pursing her lips, she gave her reason.
βBecause Shalloak is getting weaker.β
Thatβs right. Great General Mia knew that in war, there was no room for kindness. Every chance the enemy gives you should be seized and used to the fullest. Shalloak was in a bad spot at the moment. So, now was the time to kill him for good and make sure he would never again be a threat to the country.
She didnβt do it because she wanted to work out. No, this was Mia walking with determination toward her last battle! At least, thatβs what she told herself.
βWhich is to sayβ¦β She smiled at the thing she kept hidden. βTatiana, it looks like itβs finally your time to shine.β
She had brought the girl with her because she was the last nail in Shalloakβs coffin, and now it was time to drive her in. Mia would hold her up in front of him and say: Look, Shalloak! Her existence disproves everything you say! You have no right to call yourself a coldly logical business person. Youβre just a regular person with the same weakness, emotion, and kindness as everyone else.
Tatiana would have to help out for this dramatic climax to work, so Mia looked her in the eyes and said, βIβm counting on you, Tatiana. Make me proud.β
βYour Highnessβ¦β
Tatiana felt like a missing piece of a puzzle fell into place when she heard Miaβs words. Everything Mia had told herβ¦ Now everything made sense.
She saw that Master Shalloakβs health was getting worse and wanted to see him in person to wish him well.
From what they said to each other before, it was clear that Mia and Shalloak did not agree on much. Instead, they looked like they were going to fight. Tatiana had thought that Mia would use her against him as a tool. But it wasnβt like that.
She is trying to save Master Shalloak.
What had been a bunch of separate events came together all at once, showing a full, connected pattern. Back at Crolio Pond, Mia had said that she liked how Tatiana wasnβt afraid to correct people when she needed to. She liked how honest she was. Then she told Tatiana that if she ever got into trouble, she should come to her. Tatiana could now see that Mia had been trying to push her forward by giving her encouragement.
She began to remember more of what Mia had said. She had said that everything would depend on what Shalloak did. How prescient sheβd been! She was obviously talking about this exact thing. Mia always knew that Shalloakβs health would get worse if he didnβt change what he ate. So, she brought Tatiana with her to tell him what he needed to hear and try to get him to live a better life.
Thatβs not all, either. She might be trying to remind Master Shalloak ofβ¦
Mia wanted to do two things. She wanted to warn him about his health and save his life through Tatiana. She did this because she wanted him to remember all the great things he had done in the past. The health of both the body and the mind. She wanted to give him both back.
Tatiana couldnβt help but think that she had found out Miaβs real plans.
She says that everything depends on how he acts, but behind the scenes, she is doing everything she can to stop Master Shalloak from hurting himself and get him back on the right road. πππππ¬πππ£π€πππ.πππ
She thought that this way of doing things was a lot like how doctors work. Shalloak is the only one who can decide if he wants to live a moderate life. His health and how long he lived were eventually determined by the decisions he made.
βBut decisions can be influenced.β
There was no reason to just stop trying. People who didnβt want to listen could still be told over and over. With enough time, they might finally change their minds one day. Not because they were moved by how serious you were, but because they were sick of hearing the same advice over and over again and just wanted it to stop.
Itβs up to Master Shalloakβ¦ Her Highnessβs words sound cold and heartless at firstβ¦
But now, Tatiana was very thankful. She wanted to thank Mia from the bottom of her heart for bringing her to this crucial crossroads and giving her the chance to save Shalloak Cornrogue, the guy who had changed her life.
βOkay, Your Highness. Letβs go.β
When she looked at Mia, she saw that she was pumping her arms. It was strangely like a move that the other young girl following her, Bel, did all the time, and there was something strangelyβ¦exercise-like about it.
TNβs Note: This is exactly how one becomes a member of the Cult of Mia.
