With the school dance finished (and with only a moderate number of
injuries and kidnappings having occurred over the course of it),
Mia's stay at Saint-Noel Academy has finally begun in earnest!
That's right--it's time for her to sit back, relax, and enjoy a
luxurious and leisurely school life filled with... Wait, what do
you mean, "lessons"? Indeed, not even the children of nobility can
escape the myriad horrors of schoolwork. Fortunately for Mia, she's
been through all of this once before! Unfortunately for Mia, her
memory is, shall we say, not her strongest asset. But hey--Mia's
survived worse, and compared to saving an empire from imminent
doom, tricking her classmates into thinking she's academically
gifted should be a cakewalk! Besides, it's not like she'll have any
conspirators to punish, connections to forge, or charming princes
to woo in the meantime...right?
Crown Prince Sion is prophesied to be fatally poisoned by his
younger brother, Echard. Donning a precious keepsake dress made by
her mother, ex-selfish-princess Mia throws open the doors to the
ballroom, prepared to confront this swirling conspiracy. After
considerable (by Mia standards) thought, she devises a brilliant
(again, by Mia standards) scheme. Time to keep Sion dancing so he
doesn’t have a chance to drink anything! Unsurprisingly, her plan
falls flat almost immediately, as the myriad of players in this
game of power won’t just sit idly by... Up against Sion’s
burden of justice, Echard’s inferiority complex, and Sunkland’s
complicated political background, can Mia lead everyone toward a
better, brighter future?
Princess Mia just wanted to go on a fun summer cruise with all her
friends, but somehow she's gotten stranded on a deserted island
without a boat OR supplies! Mia and her friends have to figure out
how to survive, but wait! Esmeralda's gone missing?! When the group
splits up to look for her, Mia pairs up with Abel and thinks that
getting stuck on an island might not be so bad after all. Little
does she know, however, a dark secret lost to time lies deep within
the island. Uncovering it will reveal the hidden truth of the
Tearmoon Empire and how everything links to her morbid destiny. But
forget about all that! Mia's only concern is and will always be
herself, and the only thing she's interested in right now is her
relationship with Abel. Can Mia avert her ever-impending doom this
time around? Will they find the missing Esmeralda? And, most
importantly, will Mia get closer to Abel?! Join Mia and friends on
a summer survival adventure in the fifth volume of Tearmoon Empire!
Half a year has passed since the Remno revolution ended. Spring has
rolled around again, bringing with it what Mia considers to be one
of the most important occasions of the year - spring break. Freed
from the duties of school and station, she's ready to seize the
day! By which she means, of course, do absolutely nothing
productive and lounge around in bed all day.Her indolent plans are
cut short, however, when her own granddaughter, Bel, is whisked
backwards through time and deposited in front of her. Just when she
thought she was finally done with worrying about the guillotine,
she learns of the grisly future awaiting her, in which a war of
succession rends the empire in two. Mia herself has been killed by
poison, and Bel narrowly avoided execution by leaping through
time.As if that wasn't enough, she discovers that this terrible
chain of events can be traced back to Rafina's tragic
transformation into a dictator. Altering the course of history
will, of all things, require her to defeat Rafina in the upcoming
election for student council president!Underprepared, polling
abysmally, and trailed by a granddaughter who inherited all her,
erm, Mia-est bits, she once again finds herself at a historical
turning point... without the faintest clue of what she's supposed
to do!
It's the summer holidays, and Mia's on a roll.Ever since the
spoiled princess of Tearmoon leapt through time and restarted life
as a twelve-year-old, everything has been going her way. Leveraging
her memory of future events and-unwittingly-the delusions of those
around her, she secures a source of wheat for the coming famine and
prevents civil war from breaking out. She even manages to avert her
own grisly death by guillotine, erasing from existence the very
diary that foretold her doom! But once again that dreaded
word-revolution-reaches her ears, only this time, it's not in
Tearmoon. She's horrified to learn that a popular uprising in Remno
is threatening that kingdom's stability. To make matters worse
Abel, her princely sweetheart, is trapped at the center of the
chaos. Should she brave danger to mount a rescue, or sit safe in
the comfort of her own castle? Freed from the curse of the
guillotine and faced with an uncertain future, what path will Mia
choose?
Surrounded by the hate-filled gazes of her people, the selfish
princess of the fallen Tearmoon Empire, Mia, takes one last look at
the bleeding sun before the guillotine blade falls...Only to wake
back up as a twelve-year-old! With time rewound and a second chance
at life dropped into her lap, she sets out to right the countless
wrongs that plague the ailing empire. Corrupt governance? Check.
Border troubles? Check. Natural calamities and economic strife?
Check.My, seems like a lot of work.Hard work and Mia don't mix, so
she seeks out the aid of others, starting with her loyal maid,
Anne, and the brilliant minister, Ludwig. Together, they strive day
and night to restore the Empire. Little by little, their tireless
efforts begin to change the course of history, pushing the whole of
the continent toward a new future.And why did the selfish princess
have a change of heart, you ask? Simple-she didn't. She's just
terrified of the guillotine. They hurt like hell, and Mia hates
pain more than work.
Mia reclines and flips open the Princess Chronicles, wondering what
new developments it has in store, when her eyes leap to a certain
line: "Sion Sol Sunkland perished in his youth." Needless to say,
she does not remain recumbent for long. How could this possibly
be?! Though he may be infuriating at times, Sion is an ally, a
classmate, and most importantly...a friend. She needs to warn him;
if she can't save him personally-which, let's face it, is unlikely
given her limited faculties-then he can at least save himself. When
Esmeralda complains about a marriage proposal from a Sunkland
noble, Mia inserts herself and her friends into the entourage, and
they make for Sunkland. Will Mia be able to avert Sion's death, or
will the future refuse to budge?
You'd think surviving an assassination attempt would entitle Mia
Luna Tearmoon to some rest and recreation-but in comes her old
friend the great famine! Forkroad and Co.'s business has completely
collapsed, and with it, the logistics Mia needed for her
famine-prevention plan. Mia's investigation reveals the culprit is
a man she knows all too well: Shalloak Cornrogue, the Merchant
King. In the previous timeline, Mia had suffered indignity at his
hands. Now that he's meddling in this timeline as well, it's the
perfect excuse for payback! Her road of revenge takes Mia all the
way to Perujin. There, the Sage of the Empire finds herself
embroiled in a whirlwind of trouble, culminating in a showdown that
will forevermore change the fate of Perujin...
The Holy Eve Festival is swiftly approaching, and Princess Mia is
at a loss. Things had been going so well! She defeated Ruby at the
Horsemanship Tournament, and she even won the allegiance of the
Redmoons. And yet, the Princess Mia Chronicles continues to predict
her death on that very day! Mia is desperately anxious about her
impending assassination, so she resolves to...go mushroom picking!
Mia just really wants to enjoy some exquisite mushroom stew, okay?
And, while she's at it, Mia decides to throw a party to keep her
future self from leaving the castle! Luckily for her, Bel shows up
with Citrina Yellowmoon, who happens to know a thing or two about
mushrooms. Can Mia avert her ever-impending doom this time around?
Will she figure out the significance of the Holy Eve Festival? And,
most importantly, will she get any of that delicious stew?! Follow
Mia on some fungal foraging fun in the sixth volume of Tearmoon
Empire!
