"Unanswered" Prayers in Tearmoon Empire

(Light Novel/Potential Web Novel Spoiler Warning here)

This had been on the back burner for some time while I was reading through the chapters, but the more I went into the story, the more I saw characters express their longings and laments of regret as "prayers," especially when it came to them in the Guillotine Timeline. And with these prayers, they tend to be answered in the current timeline Mia is making as she (somewhat unwillingly) sets on to becoming the future Empress.

A somewhat isolated case of what I want to talk about can be seen from the side chapter in Volume 4 involving the Perujin princess Arshia.

Arshia, who had seen the horrors of famine, had once prayed to find a way to solve the issue, but over time had thought it was left unanswered, and sought to solve the matter through her hard work and research. Mia wanted to seek her to be an educator for the new academy she was setting up because of her knowledge of botany, but due to past mistreatment and discrimination from other Tearmoon nobles, she refused the offer. In a dinner Mia set up that was meant to make those nobles apologize to her (which failed), was only after meeting the future students of the academy and overthinking Mia's intentions that Arshia's prayer started to come back to her. Through accepting the teaching position, she became a key figure in creating the cold-resistant wheat alongside Cyril Rudolvon.

Additionally, in the web novel site where Tearmoon's story originally is published, the author reveals in a sidenote that he based this chapter on a missionary telling him the parable of the drowning man:

Now, going back to the bigger plot of Tearmoon, by Volume 12, we're starting to get confirmation that Mia being sent back in time (and by extension Miabel and Patricia going to her point in time) is because God/the Holy Deity (as how He's written within the story) willed it to happen. So how does that tie in to "unanswered" prayers?

First, we get Anne's prayer in Volume 1 as Mia is about to be executed:

(WEB NOVEL SPOILERS: In a chapter still unreached by the light novel publication, Mia looks back to this moment, and even thinks that Anne's prayer of protection was where her turn-back in time had started.)

In Volume 4, we see Ludwig beginning to see the "dreams" of the Guillotine Timeline and his prayer for Mia back then:

It should be noted that from Ludwig developing the theory of Miabel's time travel in Volume 12, he has now gotten a better picture on the situation, and may have recalled his prayer from back then.

In Volume 9, we get a look of Mia's prayer of redemption from the Guillotine Timeline as she deliberates her decision on Echard's punlshment:

TL;DR: The whole plot of Tearmoon Empire hinges on God answering prayers in unexpected ways

Grace in Tearmoon Empire: Escaping the Zero-Sum Game

The premiere episode of Tearmoon Empire blew me away—so much so, that I’ve already written about it! But there’s still more. Not only do we have Mia’s story, the very picture of what it is to be born again, but we also have Anne’s, and it is this servant girl’s story that shows us what grace looks like, not once, but twice over: first, in the giving of grace and again in the receiving. And let me tell you, this grace is a beautiful, unexpected, and untamable thing that changes everything. Grace is the ultimate game-changer! So let’s take a look at how it is that this little thing called grace turns everything on its head, in the very best of ways.

First, a recap. You may remember Anne from my first post (or indeed from the episode, manga or light novel) as the kind-hearted, yet klutzy servant girl who, at the critical moment, prays for Princess Mia. This prayer, offered earnestly, alters the fate of not only her Highness, but also Tearmoon Empire as a whole, if not the known world too. It is this prayer that sparks a change in Mia and triggers the second chance she is granted as she is reincarnated back into her younger self. You see, the deity of Anne’s world heard her prayer and found it pleasing—so much so that her request for Princess Mia’s heavenly protection was granted. Mia was born again in both the spiritual and physical senses because of Anne’s prayer. Powerful stuff!

Now, in my previous post, I mentioned the mercy that Anne extends toward the petulant princess as she continues to serve her during her imprisonment, rather than taking vengeance for her abusive behavior. But what I didn’t discuss was the grace that the servant girl shows toward Mia. This is really what lies at the heart of her prayer.

HmmmMMMmmmmm...

As Mia's right and left hands I've been quietly hoping Anne x Ludwig would become a side pairing, but Anne x Keithwood has potential too...!!! Some mild... well, not enemies to lovers energy exactly, but a bit of friction in the dynamics with Keithwood being so cautious of Anne's mistress... *wipes away drool*

Tearmoon Empire Trailer

Twenty-year-old Princess Mia, the "selfish princess" of the Tearmoon Empire, has been executed by guillotine. Surprisingly, she wakes up as her twelve-year-old self with her bloodstained diary next to her. "Given a second chance at life, Mia decides to rebuild the empire. For the sake of Tearmoon's future? To save the people from starvation? For all the soldiers who lost their lives in the civil war? No! Everything she does in this life is for the sake of avoiding the guillotine! "F-For me, this should be a piece of cake!" Thus the useless, cowardly, self-serving princess brings about miracle after miracle in her great struggle to save herself in this altered-history fantasy." (Crunchyroll)

Based on the novel series by Nozomu Mochitsuki, the Tearmoon Empire anime is directed by Yūshi Ibe. Deko Akao is in charge of scripts with Mai Otsuka designing the characters and Kōji Fujimoto composing the score. Silver Link is producing. The anime stars the voice talents of Sumire Uesaka (Mia Luna Tearmoon), Tomori Kusunoki (Anne Littstein), Yuichiro Umehara (Ludwig Hewitt), Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Abel Remno), and Shun Horie (Sion Sol Sunkland)

@thecagedsong you mentioned to me before how Anne and Ludwig were like parental figures for Mia since the Guillotine timeline, and I found some passages that really support it

#Tearmoon Empire #Tearmoon Teikoku Monogatari #Mia Luna Tearmoon #Anne Littstein #Ludwig Hewitt #Spoilers #Light Novel Spoilers #I was already convinced by it but Volume 5's passage painted the picture on Mia's feelings really well #Adela would thank Anne for being there for Mia #Matthias would struggle to try not to spoil Mia and that's partly because Adela is dead
