Tearmoon Teikoku Monogatari ~Dantoudai kara Hajimaru, Hime no Tensei Gyakuten Story~ - Vol. 8 Ch. 34

[TheGodEmperor]

Spoiler

Big WN spoilers for this but Sion basically becomes a diehard practitioner of his sense of justice, leading to a rift between Sion and Tiona as well; they don't get together or even talk afterwards and both end up really lonely IIRC. I don't think Rafina is mentioned in the previous timeline post-execution, but after the Mia Guillotine arc, a new timeline sprouts where we learn Rafina has become a belligerent overzealous crusader tyrant aimed at eradicating the true antagonists of the series.

Spoiler

Rafina also gets assassinated, as she deserves.

I love u! Thanks for the upload!!!

 

[Nabusco]

So this timeline is going to get funky but Mia's habit of tumbling upstaris will save it?

 

[Doenyon]

That's... actually quite reasonable.
Rather than suddenly leading a revolution, he could have tried explaining things to her.
Mia would eventually understood, even if he had to do it multiple times because of how lacking her common sense was.
She could do things differently then.
Mia wasn't actually evil, afterall.

But then again we would miss Guillotine-chan.

Not only was she not evil, she wasn't even responsible, killing her changed literally nothing, she was just oblivious.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[IlsaTilsaKilsaMilsa]

It isn't really Sion's job of teaching Mia though. The fuck up wasn't Sion even though he could have acted better with more foresight.

The main fault in her problematic behaviour lies with the lack of good royal tutors and her father.

 

[art17]

Y'all mf's are ommiting something

Sion's country was always about stirring conflicts to get some benefir from revolutionary governments

You know, like the gringoes

So there was nothing Mia could do in her original timeline, because that wretched country will stir thing up and then come like the champions of justice.

Fortunately she could ruin all their plans in this timeline.

 

[Googloo]

The comments have given me much insight on the characters, and now it makes me think that her past was sadder than I thought before, which was already really bad

The novel really did a good job at fleshing out the old timeline, though most of these are only revealed after the current arc. They also kept these "memories" relevant to the ongoing story too.

 

[Aoitenshi]

I won't go as far as saying it would've been useless, but it's not like she doesn't have someone warning her all the time (Ludwig).

And they don't seem to be that close in the past life anyway. Calling them classmates are already pretty generous, considering as far as they concern, she's a bully.

Ludwig was the one and only person to ever admonish her in her whole life. Her father doted on her so much that he would cut down a whole forest just to give her some gifts. Everyone buttered on her just to throw all blame on her when something went wrong (the nobles lied and convinced everyone that Mia ordered them to ruin Tiona's dress and locked her up). The only reason she wasn't punished right then and there is because there was no proof (and how could there be one when she didn't do it in the first place?)

Worth to note that in the previous timeline, she met Ludwig only after she dropped out of school and the empire had collapsed.

All she needed was someone to point out that she was a selfish princess and that she could do more in her position. But the only thing that people cared was that she had to be executed to make them feel better.

Imma add some spoiler on WN about Tiona from the OG timeline to flesh her character further

Spoiler

Actually, Tiona has some doubt about Mia being the one responsible for the Empire fallout, and she almost consider to ask Mia why she doing all of this. But in the end she didnt do it and this haunt her forever.
There's also part where the current Tiona have a dream about OG Tiona experience and this totally make her regretted what happened in the dream. In the next day she apologize hard to Mia and then work very hard to help Mia, if im not mistaken its the arc related to the yellowmoon girl's

Seems I was wrong about Ludwig a bit, sorry about that.

I still don't think it would help much.

By the time they might try to warn Mia, the big three (prince, Tiona, and Rafina) already has a really bias view of her since she bullied Tiona, and from their POV, even go as far as locking her up on a tower at one point.

Her past-self response when hearing about that incident on ch. 10 is also "Isn't it merely natural for nobles to do as they please to commoners?".

From a relatively unemotional, third-party view, it's easy to say she doesn't know any better, especially since "she's just a kid". That's not something you usually could do from involved parties with similar age. If I was them, I probably couldn't see her as anything more than someone born evil.

It's called not loudly announcing spoilers at the top of my lungs when people are clearly trying to not give them to people who might not want to hear them.

 

[MohammedSaeb]

sorry Mia but Abel never saw you as "classmate" in previous life, not that you actually have friend in previous life either

Ouch

The anime has already shown that

not everyone here watched the anime, and it's still a spoiler as it's not covered in the manga yet

 

[Deathhappens]

Deceptively deep little chapter, with both Mia and prince Sion growing as characters in some ways. Sion questions whether it's right to condemn evildoers without at least trying to empathise with them; Mia learns that as selt-absorbed as she started out to be she's grown fond of her classmates, not just prince Abel but Sion and Tiona as well (remember she almost had a heart attack when she first saw either of them again in this timeline, and was quite pettily plotting to humiliate Sion all through the dance arc). Now she can at least question and try to understand their motives rather than treat them like a guillotine waiting to happen.

I would ask you not to be so presumptuous, I happen to be American and I can tell you that many of us including me are good people. Besides all great powers throughout history have stirred up conflicts to get some benefit (not just the U.S.), the Chinese, Japanese, the European powers, the Russians, and various ancient empires…the list goes on.

That maybe true, but it doesn’t excuse Sion’s actions in the previous timeline, and the fact that he didn’t try to be more fair minded and empathetic at that time. Also Sion just bowed to the pressure of the Revolution Army, he should’ve tried to hear Mia’s side of the story. At least Tiona felt sympathy for Mia and didn’t see her as evil.

I’m thankful that Sion learned to be more empathetic and fair however I still don’t think that I will ever completely forgive Sion for what he did to Mia in the previous timeline. Sion were never going to work out since they are both expected to rule their respective kingdoms (separated by an ocean), thankfully Mia realizes that.

I’m so happy that Mia met Abel, they have great chemistry ❤️. Abel is the first guy who was genuinely kind to Mia, and he’s one of the few people that Mia sincerely cares deeply for. She can’t stand the thought of Abel suffering the same fate that she did (guillotine). And she gave Abel the confidence that he needed, and showed him kindess as well.

 

[Johnwill11]

I’m not sure if Mia’s mind ages along with her physical body, for all we know she may remain her 20 year self until she reaches (20) that age physically?
