I Raised Snow White!

[Episode 52] – A runaway commotion that is not a runaway (2)

-Princess…! Princess! Wake up! Princess!

Titania, who was wandering in her dreams with her body curled up, forced her to block her ears when she heard the sound calling to her in her sleep, but continued to hear Ainsell’s voice screaming at her. I gently opened her eyes.

“Just a little more…”

-Princess… This is not the time! Hurry up and look around!!

“How far away…”

She must have slept with the blanket covering her head, but when she woke up, an unfamiliar wooden ceiling came into view. Titania blinked blankly in her sleep, then turned her head to look around.

“…? What is it?”

Titania, who couldn’t turn her head due to her drowsiness, scratched her head and looked around once more. A small house made entirely of wood. The small house was filled with the faint smell of herbs.

The floor was covered with a carpet made of the skin of an unknown animal, and a bunch of dried things, whether medicinal herbs or just grass, were hanging from the walls.

When she saw that next to the place where she was lying, the rugged furniture that looked like it was made of wood was placed all over the not-so-wide house, Titania had a sudden thought.

From noble mtl dot com

‘It looks like a cabin in the woods from a picture book.’

She was looking at her house blankly in her sleep when she heard her hum humming through the small crack in the door. Titania rose from her seat and stuck her head out through the crack in her door.

I saw something bubbling in a pot on the fireplace and a little girl humming and twitching in front of it. A little girl cooking while stirring a ladle in a pot.

The girl jumped in place after swallowing a bite of something in the pot and started to move busily. ‘I’m busy, I’m busy,’ she repeated to herself, and she was eagerly preparing her something.

As I stared blankly at her, Titania’s head began to spin rapidly as she awoke from her slumber. It was as if she had entered a picture book. She thought this was all her dream, but it was not.

“Huh? Here, where are you…? Hut? You must have been sleeping in my room…?”

-I don’t know… I can’t move even if I try to move to another mirror to inform Vivian of this situation… This is an extremely rare case…

Titania patted Ainsel, who was at a loss for what to do, and looked out of her window to check where it was. No matter which window she looks out, she sees nothing but a forest covered in thick fog.

She couldn’t determine the exact location. Titania could only perceive that this place was a ‘cabin’ in a thickly fogged forest. A small cabin with only an unknown little girl.

Should I open the window and go outside? No, even ten-year-old Titania knew very well that going into that forest alone was tantamount to committing suicide.

As Titania wanders around her room, not knowing what to do, she jumps out! With a sound, the wooden door opened and the ‘little girl’ burst through the door with all her might.

As their eyes met, the little girl narrowed her eyes and then approached Titania with a wide smile. A young girl with her earthy brown hair and green eyes like sprouts sprouting above it.

Walking around Titania, he looked up and down as if observing her, and sniffed her.

Titania was startled and tried to take her hand away, but the little girl laughed and held her Titania’s hand. As she panicked, she smiled as the little girl introduced herself.

-Welcome to our ‘cabin’! Princess! I’m a brownie!

“Bruh, a brownie?”

-Yes! It’s the house elf brownie who manages this ‘cabin’!

The time when the sun goes down.

The faces of both the soldiers and her maids, still unable to find Titania, began to grow pale. I opened all the rooms in the palace and searched, but there was no news that the princess had been found yet.

I searched the room I had already checked several times, but the princess was nowhere to be seen. Nervousness began to appear on everyone’s faces, who thought they would be able to find it by evening.

As more and more opinions leaked out that he might have been kidnapped, Vinshaw and other ministers unanimously refuted the opinions. I wonder if ‘abduction’ makes sense inside the most heavily guarded palace.

Everybody gathered their strength and started looking for the princess, telling them to find the princess while they were talking nonsense. He searched the rooms of the delegation and even dusted off the unused palace to find the princess.

However, even after the sun went down and the night deepened, there was no news that the princess had been found. All night long in the palace, the voices of everyone searching for a princess called “Princess Titania” Resonate.

As the night progressed, Vivian grew more and more restless. Contrary to everyone’s thoughts, Vivian’s thoughts that Titania might have been kidnapped began to creep into her head.

Because Vivian, unlike others, knew the existence of a ‘witch’.

What if a fairy or witch intervened and kidnapped Titania? What if the ‘witch’ who turned Aurora into a ‘fairy’ is aiming for Titania this time? If that’s the reason Ainsel can’t be contacted?

Vivian’s complexion turned blue, and his breathing began to quicken, as if a dark blue dread swept over him in an instant. As fear enveloped his body, Vivian touched the ‘invitation’ held in his hand.

Should I call Fran and ask him to find Titania? She thought that Frank would be of great help in finding Titania. The moment you try to open the ‘invitation’-

Smart-

“…Who are you?”

“Your Highness, Queen Vivian, this is Princess Fiona Silverward. I’m worried about Her Highness, so I’ve come to talk to you for a while. Would it be okay for her to come in?”

Kugit.

Vivian’s expression was crumpled.

In this urgent situation, I couldn’t afford to be nice to Princess Fiona. The moment she put it on to tell her to come back tomorrow, the door burst open and Princess Fiona poked her head out.

“Is it okay?”

“……Come in.”

Cleaning his teeth, Vivian tried to smile and told Princess Fiona to come in. What can I do, before I can refuse, I already open the door and ask to let me in.

‘If it wasn’t for the princess of a foreign country, I would have cursed at you right away…’

Vivian let out a sigh through her lips so that Princess Fiona couldn’t hear her, then smiled and asked Princess Fiona. Why the hell did you come here at this late hour?

“What’s up, Princess Fiona? As you know, I am very busy right now.”

“I want to talk to Her Highness, Queen Vivian, for a moment.”

“…Is that really all?”

Vivian looks at Princess Fiona with a bewildered expression. Seeing that expression, Princess Fiona only smiled. Vivian sighed annoyedly and crossed her arms in response.

“…I wonder what you want to talk about, so let’s listen.”

“It’s not much of a story. Just…”

Princess Fiona smiled and said to Vivian.

“Since you seem so tired of pretending to be sad, I just wanted to tell you that you don’t have to do that in front of me, Her Highness the Queen. Don’t you get tired of acting for a long time?”

“What?”

Vivian wondered if she heard it wrong. He was so baffled by what he had been told that he couldn’t give a proper answer. Just as he was about to think he had heard it wrong, Princess Fiona drove a nail through her.

“I know you well. You’re not the kind of person to be sad when a child you don’t even have a blood connection with runs away from home, right? Are you pretending to be sad in front of others to manage your image as a queen?”

“…Princess Fiona, are you crazy?”

“…You don’t have to act in front of me? Are you not that kind of person? Since I know your true intentions, am I giving you advice to help you?”

Chuggit, cuggit.

Vivian’s expression began to wrinkle even more. Beyond her bewilderment, as an expression of her disgust began to appear on her face, she asked Vivian in a way that Princess Fiona shrugged her shoulders and didn’t understand.

“I know your past. The ‘what you did’ to the other young ladies in order to marry the king. You, who caught all kinds of weaknesses and drove people to suicide, suddenly have maternal love? And to the child of the woman you hate? Huhu, even jokes have a certain level.”

Listening to her story, Vivian thought quietly. ‘Oh, Princess Fiona, she must be someone who knows the old ‘Vivian’.’ And she hates the old Vivian to death.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense for her to shoot so sharp. It was impossible for a princess from another country, a princess who participated in a delegation, to say this to a country’s ‘queen’ without extreme ‘disgust’.

Only now, Vivian could understand the identity of the strange feeling she felt every time she saw Princess Fiona. Princess Fiona, who smiled and gave off a reluctant atmosphere, was instinctively uncomfortable.

With a small sigh, Vivian raised her head and looked at Princess Fiona. He could feel the twisted emotions pouring out of him at the sight of Princess Fiona smiling single-singly with the corner of her mouth raised.

“…Please don’t make disgusting jokes. I know what you mean? Now, aren’t you the one who’s most happy that the child is gone?”

“…What?”

“The child who looked like ‘that woman’ you hated, she disappeared right in front of her on her own, right? If that’s not a joy, what is? Oh, did she say ‘I hate’ her because she wanted this? It’s really tight-“

Jaak-!!!

With the sound of something tearing, Vivian’s palm struck Princess Fiona’s face. With her head turned to the side, Princess Fiona opened her eyes wide and turned to look at Vivian.

Tap, pop. Tears began to flow down Vivian’s face inappropriately. Princess Fiona narrowed her eyes as she watched the flowing tears and wrinkled her face. Like she really hates it.

‘Looks like it.’

It’s like, I felt like I was about to die. Was this woman capable of such a face? Was she the kind of person this woman could treat someone with these feelings? If she was the kind of person this woman could do this to.

‘Why me? Why are you treating me like that?’

I can’t believe that you, who ‘accidentally’ killed my father and raised me as a ‘witch’, are the kind of person who could do this. No i don’t believe it Do you know that I don’t know what’s inside you?

“…Princess Fiona.”

Suddenly, Vivian stood up from her seat and looked at Princess Fiona with a frown on her face. As if Princess Fiona was familiar with that expression, she looked at Vivian with a casual smile.

“With this, I will forgive the rudeness you have done to me. But, not twice. It would be better to remember properly with a lacking head.”

“……”

“Until the delegation leaves, stay out of sight and pretend to be dead, then go back quietly.”

Boom!

With that last word, Vivian slipped out of the room. Left alone in her room, Princess Fiona leaned back on her couch, stroking the cheek she had been hit on and letting out a smirk.

“Ha ha… That hurts.”

That’s what I said, but it didn’t hurt that much. Thanks to the care put into her hands, her hands didn’t lose their strength before being hit and didn’t hurt. The proof was that there was no tearing of the lips or the taste of blood in the mouth.

“Originally, the subject of beating until the lips are torn and the mouth is dry…”

Princess Fiona, who covered her eyes with her arm, let out a chuckle. Princess Fiona, who had laughed so once and twice, suddenly stopped laughing and spoke to herself in a cold voice.

“…Disgusting.”
