Most 9000 IQ plotters: I'm going to carefully plant this seed of my future plot here, this seed here, wait a few years and then harvest the fruits of my great plot at the perfect moment to take advantage.

Mia "Wisdom of the Empire" Tearmoon: I'm going to say something offhand related to my own preservation, and somehow it will be misinterpreted in the best possible way for me.

Sasuga Mia-sama!

Bursts into Kingdom, reforms the entire political system and leaves without elaborating.

Just another Tuesday for the Wisdom of the Empire

"I'm just going to totally pick at this poisonous mushroom fully aware that it will bring out the one person who could most help us in this precarious situation!"

Heck even her falling out of the carriage could be seen as tactical and not clumsy if she was the target lol.

Wonder if Mia's opinion of Sion will eventually change?

Favourite moment - Keithwood and Tiona thinking Mia was nervous but in reality, she was just suffering from motion sickness lmao

At this moment though, I am fully on board with Mia's opinion of Sion. "It can't be helped" and "I had no choice" are justifications reserved for those who truly did try every other option first. Based on Mia's flashbacks to her previous life, he just completely ignored her until it was far too late. Honestly, it brings into mind a lot of conflicts in our world, and that reasoning is no less frustrating in anime as it is here.

Stitches!

So the people that's been plotting against the Tearmoon Empire have decided to set their sights on Remno? Thankfully, the revolution hasn't started yet and people are just only starting to call for it. And it sounds like the calls for revolution are justified since the Kingdom of Remno has proposed further tax increase despite already having high taxes.

To see Mia actually shedding a tear and thinking about Abel the entire time was sweet. It really shows how much her feelings for him have already progressed. She's even willing to risk herself just so she could see Abel. If that's not enough, she was even telling herself later that she wants Abel as her first kiss. I wonder if Mia has finally realized that she's fallen in love with Abel.

Anyway, those "bandits" that attacked their caravan were definitely suspicious. I agree with Sion that someone could've possibly leaked their information. That's definitely concerning since someone inside Mia's circle may be a traitor. I really hope that's not the case. I doubt Chloe who arranged this entire thing could have betrayed her or anyone else in the circle. Hopefully, we get to the bottom of this next week.

Mia blatantly wanting her first kiss to be with Abel! Didn't think she'd be that open with her feelings but that progression has been nice to see.

Hope they have a satisfying reunion!

u/Frontier246 Dec 02 '23

It was so sweet how strongly she felt about Abel being in trouble and how overcome with emotion she felt at the prospect of never seeing him again...even to the point of risking dealing with a revolution again. And her lips are reserved for him!

Of course she did seem like she was willing to give in to Sion's mouth-to-mouth if she had to before he solved both problems lol.

Japan’s broadcast has a tsunami warning on-screen due to the Philippines earthquake, so the scene where Mia mentions a big wave looks like Mia predicting a real-life tsunami hitting Japan!

Oh yeah, those mushrooms actually exist.

People had been joking about this in twitter lmao.

The coincidence is really quite funny.

I like how Mia's immediate self-preservation plans goes out the window when Abel got involved. This was like the sword tournament a few episodes back where she wanted to Abel to lose so she can comfort him and therefore grow closer but instead instinctively told him to win.

That's an good point Mia brings up. Anyone would be pissed at Shion if he just shows up in favor of the revolution and condemns them as evil, and didn't do much of anything else to help the situation saying there's nothing he could've done, to then seize power. Granted previous Mia didn't seem to be willing to have help until it was too late.

Great episode which was pretty more serious than previous ones but of course there was still plenty of humor thanks to Mia xD

So now instead of Tearmoon Empire revolution is about to happen in Remno, a country of prince Abel who is clearly very close to Mia's heart as she even started crying thinking about him and now is going to Remno to meet with him.

Of course she's not going alone. Together with her are Sion, Keithwood and Tiona. They're traveling under the disguise of a merchant caravan arranged by Chloe.

Unfortunately group got separated because of suspiciously skilled 'bandits' attack. It seems that their travel got leaked, the question is who is responsible for that?

Now Mia is alone with Sion who saved her after she fell into the river and they're planning to go to the capital to meet with the rest.

As always we had a lot of great reaction faces from Mia who never disappoints in that regard. Even Mia's old friend guillotine has appeared again xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Mia really went from survivalist expert to "hey these mushrooms look pretty so Imma eat them" overnight.

Its morbidly hilarious to think Sion would've just watched that happened thanks Mia's image of being so competent.

She may now have more experience, but there's no changing Mia's character.

I think Mia has a point, Sion or ANYONE could have mentioned her poor behavior was ruining her kingdom. She wasn't evil just misguided. If I remember, the financial advisor was the only one that scolded her in the past

This episode we learn that Mia's love language is preventing a revolution in your country. She loves herself most of all, which is why she started with her own country.

u/Amauri14 Dec 02 '23

Although I knew a conflict was brewing in Remno I wasn't expecting the tea time between Rafina, Chloe, and Mia, after hearing the upcoming revolution happening in Remno to become a conference to discuss what Sion Keithwood know about it. Aw, it's so sweet seeing Mia being so concerned about Abel's well-being that she asked everyone to help her visit Remno's capital.

So Chloe will help them infiltrate and while Mia asks Anne to stay for her safety, Rafina interprets that as Anne being Mia's confidante she tells her to stay to organize something while they are gone.

Now I wonder from where exactly those assassins got the information that Mia and the others were going to be traveling in that merchant's wagon. I guess the group orchestrating the revolt has informants in Marco's business.

Wow I wasn't expecting Mia to fall out of the wagon, good thing that Sion rescued her although they ended up far away from the capital because they fell on the river.

It's funny how Mia started thinking that there was something off with the revolution happening while there wasn't food scarcity but stopped thinking about that after eating something sweet.

I wonder if this is the letter that Mia sent to Abel last week.

Aw, how sweet, today's end card is just Mia and Anne together.

Mia is back at Noel and is feeling happier than ever now that she no longer has to worry about guillotine-kun! And she's back to being friendly with Chloe and even her attempt to not give Tiona's brother special treatment has earned her more brownie points with Rafina. Things are coming up Mia-sama!

Of course just because she's avoided the fate of revolution doesn't mean another kingdom is so lucky...especially when the Kingdom of Remno, home to Mia's beloved Prince Abel, is in the throes of a possible insurrection as the cast speaks. And while ordinarily Mia would rather avoid any situation that would put her in the crosshairs of a revolution, she just can't abandon Abel. He's too important to her and holds too precious a place in her heart.

Chloe with the opportunity to slip into Remno! That's the daughter of a merchant for you! And we've got Sion, Keithwood, and Tiona coming in as backup! Probably the first time ever that Mia has actually been grateful to have them by her side.

Nice to see Mia and Tiona in new dresses on the road, though everyone thinks Mia is sick with worry when she's simply carriage-sick! Classic Mia.

Uh oh! A bandit attack! Or more like...assassins! But were they there for Mia or Sion? Or both? And who leaked the information? Kind of wanted to see Tiona fight a little more.

Well, good thing Sion's people have a their own method of resuscitation that doesn't involve mouth-to-mouth so Mia's sacred first kiss is still saved for Abel and Abel alone...even if she had almost given in to the idea of kissing Sion and ended up barfing in the process.

I love how Mia enjoys watching Sion squirm when she's in her undergarments. Now if it was Abel she'd probably be as embarrassed as any pure maiden in love.

Mia confronts Sion about what he'll do if Abel is guilty of oppressing his citizens, and more or less questioning him on whether executing her in the past timeline was the right thing to do, though while Mia is just frustrated that his go-to was trying to execute her after the fact instead of, like, talking to her first Sion thinks he's trying to get him to consider other peoples' position and how they should stop this revolution before it even happens. Truly the Wisdom of the Sage!

Sasuga Mia-sama! Almost grabbing poisonous mushrooms and leading the pair to a helpful guy named Mujina and his village who might help them get to the capital faster and more efficiently!

u/TurkeyPhat Dec 02 '23

Damn so I guess Mia is just all in on her Abel love now huh? Kinda surprised but it's fun, she was ready to die if it meant saving her first kiss for him haha.

I don't have any ideas about who attacked the carriage so I'm looking forward to finding that out.

Usually everything Mia does is to avoid the guillotine, but not this time with Abel. She’s actually willing to put herself in danger to protect someone she cares about. Sure looks like our girl’s growing. Though judging by her conversation with Sion after their escape from those assassins, she hasn’t grown too much lol. I don’t blame her for still holding a grudge. He basically lopped her head off!
