Reincarnated Princess Wishes To Avoid Death

Princess Mia Reaches Her Climax (In Her Opinion)

Mia kept falling as she was held in Abel’s arms and enchanted by his warmth.

Aaah…I’m going to die…from too much happiness…

Severe blunt trauma was a more likely cause of death, but the sudden feeling of water being poured over her head stopped her from making up a reason for death.

Splash!

Rather, it would be better to say that she dove headfirst into that water.

She tried to scream, but water came out of her mouth instead. She could only make a few panicked cries and was about to start flailing around when Abel tightened his arms around her and stopped her. She calmed down and let him have her.

I’ll just let Abel handle this. We’ll be all right…

Love and trust mixed together in a way that made her mind and muscles feel like they were on drugs. She let herself go limp and didn’t fight him when he pulled her along.

After a few seconds…

“Bwaaah!”

When she felt her face break the surface of the water, she opened her mouth and took a big breath.

“Augh! What is that? Ow ow ow! M-It hurts my eyes! And I can taste salt in my mouth… It looks like…sea water?”

As she looked up at Abel, she rubbed her eyes hard with one hand. He had his head up and was frowning deeply.

She looked where he was looking and found a rocky ceiling. A very high ceiling of rocks. From where she was now, the hole they fell through looked very small.

“W-Wow… We fell all the way down from up there. It is a good thing that we fell into the water. I don’t think we would have been able to make it without you.”

“Yes, we were fortunate. Still, we can’t stay in the water because it’s too cold. Let’s get out and dry off,” he said, pointing to a wall of the cave where the ground rose up out of the water to make a bank. “Can you swim?”

“Mm-hm-hm, sure, I can. I’ve been working on it. Look and be surprised.”

She quickly showed what she thought was the best way to swim—one that made everyone else look bad—by turning around and falling into a back float.

She thought this was really the best way to swim.

It wasn’t necessary for her to hold her breath. Her face wouldn’t even get wet. All she had to do was lay down and float like a log. The fact that she didn’t have to do much was what she liked best.

After a short time, she started kicking her legs, and the tiny paddle splashes made her move a little bit forward.

“Oh, tell me if I’m about to run into something, all right?”

“Sure, I’ll let you know when we get close. Let’s go.”

Abel also jumped in, and the two of them started swimming to get to dry land. Mia let out a sigh of relief when she got out of the water.

“Does anything hurt?”

“No, I don’t think so. Of course, thanks to you. What about you?”

“I’m fine as well. This water kept us from dying.”

Mia nodded. Her mind was now clear enough for her to fully understand how lucky they were. Her eyes moved across the surface of the water to a nearby rock face and then up it.

If it had been a castle wall, it would have been about three floors high. From the crack in the ceiling, a thin cone of light shone down, showing that they hadn’t been shut in.

Nonetheless…

“That…doesn’t look like it could be climbed,” she said.

The rock face had a smooth, slippery surface. It was too high for most people to be able to climb.

I could see Dion climbing this and making it look easy. But he’s not important. That guy is barely a person, let alone an average person.

At the very least, she couldn’t have done it.

So, even though the water kept them from dying right away, their chances of getting out of this situation alive or dead were not very good.

“I apologise, Abel. I got you into a terrible mess because of me.”

She showed a rare sign of regret by letting her shoulders drop. On the other hand, Abel shook his head.

“Don’t worry. I’m really happy to be here.”

“Hm? What do you mean?”

“If you care about someone and they are in danger, you want to be with them. To keep them safe. I can’t stand to think of you being down here without me.”

“My…”

Mia put her hand over her mouth and looked at him with her eyes wide open.

He moved his feet around a bit and turned away, not looking at her. Instead, all he did was blush.

Oh, Abel, thought Mia with a smile, why do you keep saying embarrassing things like that?

Her cheeks were also getting hot, but as a mature woman in her twenties, she didn’t show any signs of being uncomfortable. At first, he caught her off guard, but she quickly got back on track.

In fact, Mia had already figured out what made Abel unique. He was honest and sincere, so he often said what he thought. Because she knew this, she was able to keep a certain level of mental readiness, which made his sudden attacks on her heart less painful.

Big Sister Mia was still in charge! Even though she had the upper hand, she still found the situation awkward, and letting silence fall seemed like a good way to make things even more awkward.

So she said something.

“Anyway, it looks like we’re in a tight spot, doesn’t it? We can either wait for help to come or see if anything changes… Any way you look at it, it’s probably best to stay put for—Ah-choo!”

She sneezed, and then her body shook. The goosebumps on her skin showed that it was colder than she thought.

“Mia? Are you okay?”

“Y-Yes, I’m quite fine. I’m just a little cold because I’m wet.”

She was a little embarrassed by the sneeze, so she tried to brush it off with a casual smile. However, Abel’s face stayed serious.

“I see. If you stay cold, it will make you tired and weak…”

He thought for a moment before he said, “Sorry, Mia.”

“Eh? Sorry? “But why—”

Instead, he took away her voice.

She froze in his arms because she was confused and upset.

Eh? What? Huh?

Her inner big sister was knocked out, leaving her to figure things out on her own.

As soon as she heard Abel’s soft voice, she began to feel dizzy.

“I apologise. I know this is wrong, but we need to stay warm right now by using our own body heat.”

Even though he was sorry, he spoke in a firm way and pulled her closer.

Ah, now I understand what’s going on… Even if I try to fight him, he won’t let me go because he thinks it’s important… That’s why he keeps squeezing me tighter… I can’t get away, then…

She tried to stay calm by going to the logical side of her mind and thinking about the situation from a distance.

It didn’t last long because his warm comfort spread through her body and into her mind. His tight hug, which hurt a little, showed how young and clumsy he was.

The only sounds were his and her breaths. She tried to exhale in a smooth way so that a puff of unsteady air hitting his ear wouldn’t show how upset she was on the inside.

In the meantime, her heart betrayed her. It beat harder and louder.

As fever took over her mind, she used whatever brain functions were still working to try to think clearly.

Is this true? Maybe I did die after all. This must be that heaven place everyone talks about! So, that must be it! There’s no other way to explain it! How else could something so wonderful be happening?!

The life that started at the guillotine had reached its unquestionable high point.

At least, that’s what Mia thought.

Author’s Note:

I made a map that was requested… But it’s rough, so isn’t it different here? I would appreciate it if you could see a lot of places. The picture is… not good.

Mia’s advance route is a large detour due to the highlands. Furthermore, it took some time as we cut through the forest.

On the other hand, the cave was relatively straight, so Anne was able to get close to Mia and the others even during the time she spent preparing the torches on the beach.
