I Raised Snow White!

02. The Mad Queen Talking to the Mirror (1)

[Episode 2] – The Mad Queen Talking to the Mirror (1)

“…We will ring the bell and hold the funeral for Her Highness, the 2nd Queen ‘Vivian Liriansol’.”

Dang- Dang-

A majestic bell rang that pierced her ears. I was sleeping when I heard the sudden sound of a bell, and I frowned involuntarily. What kind of crazy human is ringing the bell outside the house?

“…Come out one by one, say your final goodbyes to Her Highness-“

Among the loud voices that seemed to echo through the cavities, a small, muffled voice could also be heard. Several voices, as if whispering, tickled my ears.

“In the end, Her Majesty did not attend Her Highness’s funeral. His Majesty still-“

“I have never seen such a humble royal funeral. Who would see this and think it was Her Majesty’s funeral? If someone who doesn’t know anything sees it, they’ll think a local noble is dead.”

“Because of rumors that Her Highness the Queen is a witch-“

Whisper, whisper.

As my consciousness, deeply immersed in sleep, was slowly brought back by the sound of a bell and a voice, I suddenly felt choked up. It was as if her nose and throat were submerged in water, unable to breathe properly.

Kureuk, kkeureuk. As I took a deep breath, the sound of water filling my lungs came out of my mouth. The first thing I felt when I fully regained my consciousness was a maddening pain.

“Kkeuk-! Coke-!”

The water coming into my mouth and nose is painful.

A suffocating pain.

The pain of water entering the lungs.

The water that went over my airways and entered my lungs was painful. I just woke up, but I jumped up with the thought that I might drown if I didn’t get up right away from the sudden pain.

“Wow, wow! Coke! Coke!”

As if to vomit all the bodily fluids in the body, he vomited, and water with a fishy smell spewed out of his mouth. Did I get hit by water while sleeping? Or was it water torture?

After I vomited up all the water and the pain subsided a bit, I thought I knew what the smell felt in my mouth was. I don’t know why, but I felt the fishy smell of the lake and the smell of rotten soil in my mouth.

“Heh, hehehe…!”

Why the hell? This question did not last long. Just as I was about to think what the hell had happened to me, I heard a muffled noise all around me.

Raising her head to check out the murmur, she saw the face of a little girl through her tear-clouded vision. She is a little girl who looks as young as between 5 and 7 years old.

A girl with black hair and red eyes was looking at me trembling. She was a girl in an all-black dress, and in one hand she held a lily.

“Uh..?”

Yeah, like a child at a funeral home.

“Ooh, ooh!!”

“Kyaaa!!”

“What, what..? What..?!”

At the same time I made a stupid noise, screams erupted from all around me. When I left the girl behind and looked around, people in black mourning clothes were busy running away.

There was a crowd of people at the big door, shoving each other to get out first, fighting and fighting. I looked around, relieving the pain that was tearing me up.

A church?

Cathedral?

The inside of the building, which has the feeling of a religious building, is decorated with black cloth and white lilies, giving off a feeling of a funeral.

Especially, the place where I was lying was like that.

A long, hexagonal wooden box that looks like a coffin. Inside this wooden box were white lily flowers and a lot of things that seemed to have been used by the deceased during his lifetime.

‘…No, it’s really not a bed, it’s a coffin…?’

……No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand all of this.

What is the fishy taste of water in the mouth, and what are the clothes of the people who go out screaming? I couldn’t understand the clothes of the child who was trembling in front of me and the appearance of the building.

“What the hell… What the hell…?!”

*

At first I thought it was just a dream.

From noble mtl dot com

I heard that sometimes there are dreams in which you can feel pain.

However, as time went by, I didn’t wake up from my dream. Rather, as the pain subsided, I felt various sensations more clearly. I could taste the food and even smell people’s perfume.

“It appears to be short-term memory loss due to trauma. Perhaps as you recover, your memories will gradually-“

I sat on the bed and looked around the room while blankly listening to the story of a middle-aged man in a white coat. I glanced around and saw a large full-length mirror hanging on the wall.

What was reflected in the large full-length mirror was a vaguely familiar face. I slowly blinked or waved my hand to greet the person in the mirror.

However, when I waved my hand, of course the woman in the mirror greeted me, and when I blinked, the woman in the mirror also blinked and looked at me.

She looked a bit haggard, but seeing that even that haggard felt beautiful, I thought she was a great beauty. Golden hair, as if woven from gold thread, and green eyes, as if they contained the greenery.

…As expected, it was a familiar face no matter how you look at it.

“Kuhm!”

As I stared blankly at the mirror, a middle-aged man who was eagerly explaining about amnesia cleared his throat once as if to focus, then opened his mouth.

“Then, I’ll just leave. If you remember even one trivial thing about anything, you can always call me.”

“…Okay.”

The middle-aged man in a white coat finally bowed his head and ran out of the room. How annoying it is to show off, and it ends with just explaining about his amnesia.

“I don’t have amnesia.”

Because I remember exactly what I ate for lunch yesterday. I got up on a bed large enough for five adult men to lie comfortably on, and turned my head to look around the room.

The room was luxurious enough to say that it was grand. Well, considering where I am now, this level of luxury was only natural.

Even the armrest of the sofa, the frame of the picture frame, and even the smallest places were not covered with gilding. Even the candlestick next to the bed glittered in gold, as if it were made of gold.

“It’s so… luxurious.”

I couldn’t even feel how soft the nightgown I had been changed into was. Judging from my appearance, I must have held a fairly high position here.

“…Now I have to admit it.”

I didn’t want to admit it in an unrealistic and illogical situation, but now I had no choice but to admit it.

A story that can only be found in web novels or webtoons.

“Possession…”

I caught the ball with both hands and stretched it out. Tears trickled out as I pulled hard enough to tear off the flesh on my cheeks. Also, it’s not a dream.

Once I accepted that this situation was real, I felt resentment in an instant. I slowly moved to the large full-length mirror I had been looking at earlier.

As I stood in front of the full-length mirror, a woman with ferocious eyes glared at me. She wasn’t trying to gawk at her, but this woman’s default expression was this ferocious expression.

Venomous eyes like a venomous snake, towering nose and sharp jawline. Even if it wasn’t, it was a sharp impression, but the pale skin seemed to make the sharp impression even sharper.

I thought the face looked familiar, but when I looked closely, I was convinced.

Why the hell?

Why do you have the body of a woman like this even if you possess it?

I raised my eyes and looked at the woman in the mirror. I was so frightened by her face reflected in the mirror that I unknowingly swallowed her dry saliva.

“Wow, that’s crazy.”

A bastard in a kingdom that even the king gave up on.

A crazy narcissist who loves himself fiercely.

There are only 13 “Witches” In this world.

“Why baby?”

And…

The villain of ‘Snow White’ whose ‘death’ is confirmed at the ending of the game or fairy tale.

“Why is this woman?! Normally, in a ‘parenting simulation game’ like this, the player, the king, is possessed!!”

I threw myself on the bed, frustrated with despair, and rolled around. He kicked the bed with his feet, turned the blanket over his head, and screamed.

The feeling of hopelessness did not go away even when I screamed for my throat to burst. Rather, the tingling pain in my throat every time I screamed seemed to tell me, ‘This is reality, give up.’

As I got angry with myself, my eyes started to close slowly as if my body was very tired. Yes, please, when I wake up, I hope this is all a dream.

That’s how I prayed, even calling out the names of the gods I didn’t believe in. Please, when I open my eyes and wake up, please let me return to my original male body.

*

Are there no gods?

Or maybe the gods ignored my prayers.

When I woke up to the sound of chirping birds, I was still ‘Vivienne Liliensole’, the goon of the kingdom.

After a good night’s sleep, the cold head began to adjust to reality. From now on, in order to live as ‘Vivian Liliensole’, she needed someone’s help unconditionally.

Originally, in most web novels and webtoons, the memory of the possessed person remains, but for some reason I couldn’t read Vivian’s memory.

So I desperately needed someone to help me.

“Whoa…”

If this world is really the world view of the parenting simulation game ‘Snow White’ I know, there is only one person who helps Vivian.

Should I call it a person?

That, isn’t it?

The helpers of witches who exist even in fairy tales.

I jumped out of bed and walked back to the mirror I had been looking at yesterday. The mirror still reflected Vivian Liliensole, who seemed to have become a person with the word reading.

“Kuhm!”

Clearing my throat, I looked in the mirror and whispered the line that everyone knows. Because this is the only line the witch in ‘Snow White’ says while looking in the mirror.

“Gee, Mirror~ Mirror~ Who is the most beautiful person in the world..?”

……

However, the mirror did not respond.

I felt like my whole body shrank in shame, but as far as I knew, it was this ‘mirror’. Because this is the only huge full-length mirror in Vivian’s room.

I cleared my throat again and called to the mirror in a soft voice.

“Mirror~ Mirror~ Who is the most beautiful person in the world~?”

At that moment, the surface of the mirror began to shake.

As if water droplets fall into stagnant water and create ripples. As the shimmering surface of the mirror began to fade, the mirror began to change.

It is natural for a mirror to reflect an object and imitate it, but Vivian’s ‘mirror’ was different. As the ripples subsided, ‘Vivian Liriansol’ reflected in the mirror began to move on its own.

Vivian in the mirror slowly opened her eyes, met my eyes and opened her mouth.

-Wow.

“…Huh??”

In the mirror, Vivian opened her mouth and suddenly pretended to vomit. Vivian, who had even covered her ears as if she had heard something she couldn’t hear and frowned, rather got angry at me.

– What?! Why?! Is the new Vivian a crazy woman with narcissism too?! Are you going to make me repeat the same answer all day like Vivian did?! If you ask ‘Who is the most beautiful person in the world~’, are you a crazy woman who can’t understand it until you say ‘You are the most beautiful woman in the world’ hundreds of times a day?!

“…..? Hey, is that a mirror?”

-I can’t! Can not! I can’t live like this anymore! Finally, I thought Vivian was dead, but some strange person took over Vivian’s body and tried to do the same with that human! If that’s the case, just kill me!!

I was sweating when I saw Vivian in the mirror lying prostrate on the floor and crying profusely as if she had PTSD. What the hell did Vivian do to make her look like a mirror?

I decided to sit down on the bed and wait for the mirror to stop beating. I thought of just covering the mirror with a blanket, but then I couldn’t even look bad at the mirror.

And the mirror obviously looked at me and said this.

New Vivian.

‘This mirror… You know I possessed it, right?’
