I Raised Snow White!

04. The Mad Queen Talking to the Mirror (3)

[Episode 4] – The Mad Queen Talking to the Mirror (3)

“His Excellency the Prime Minister requested an audience with Her Highness the Queen.”

“A chancellor?”

Why is the chancellor suddenly…?

The maid who spoke to me almost on notice looked around her room, looking around her head as if looking for something of her own. Then she tilted her head as if something was odd.

“Are you talking to someone?”

“Oh no?”

“..? I must have heard the conversation…”

After hearing the story of the maid talking to herself, I unknowingly swallowed her dry saliva. I just rolled my eyes and looked at the mirror next to me.

-Shhh. Don’t look at me, don’t answer me. I look like an ordinary mirror in other people’s eyes. If you talk to me for no reason… You know?

Ainsel, in the mirror, held her index finger in front of her lips as if to say no more. To mean I knew, she nodded her head slightly so that the maid wouldn’t notice.

Because Ainsel is seen as an ordinary mirror to others.

If I were to be seen talking to Ainsel in front of others…

You will look like a crazy woman talking to herself while looking in the mirror. Even if it’s not, Vivian’s nickname is ‘Asshole’, but I didn’t want to add the title ‘Mad b*tch talking to the mirror’ here.

“Haa-“

After thinking for a while, the maid who was waiting for my answer in front of me let out a deep sigh. It was a sigh she sighed openly for me to see and hear.

“Your Highness the Queen? His Excellency has asked for an audience… What should I do? Need a makeover? Or should I ask the Prime Minister to return?”

… From the attitude of her maid, I had a vague idea of what position Vivian was in her palace. Even if Vivian rots, she holds the title of queen, and she would never have thought that a maid would disrespect her so openly.

As she was contemplating how to answer the maid’s question, Ainsel laughed at her beside her.

-Ha, the b*tch who couldn’t even meet Vivian’s eyes when she was alive, climbed all the way to the bottom of her as soon as she heard rumors that Vivian had lost her memory?

…..?

Hey, Ainsel?

Ainsell’s voice fell coldly, whether the maid’s attitude was not to her liking, or if Vivian was being ignored and made her feel bad.

-Didn’t she ask you to tell me about Vivian’s tone or how she was usually? It’s a good opportunity, so listen to me carefully and follow me straight.

Is it really the Ain cell that she cried like a child earlier? Her ice-cold voice made me nervous, and Ainsel began copying her words.

-Ellie. Come here.

“Ellie, come here.”

Is the maid’s name ‘Ellie’? When I called her name, her maid’s shoulder shook greatly. Turning her head like her creaking machine, the maid looked at me with her quivering eyes.

“Wow, Her Highness the Queen…?”

“I told you to come here. You have to say it twice to understand.”

A cold, subdued voice. I followed Ainsel’s words with a voice so cold that I wondered if this was really coming from my throat, and Ellie approached me with her trembling steps.

-Slap Ellie hard on the cheek. Then she will automatically fall to her knees.

“…Your gaze is too high.”

…Because hitting people is a bit too much, so I refined it into words as much as possible. Understanding my words, Ellie slowly knelt down in front of me.

-…You are definitely different from Vivian. OK, so we’ll continue, so follow along.

I don’t know how it is for Ainsel, but I’ve never seen a maid kneeling before me. To be honest, it was daunting just to follow Ainsel’s words, but even violence was difficult.

And to begin with, I’ve never used violence against others.

“Ellie, you broke my word.”

“Yes, yes..?”

“What did I say last time? How can you come when I call?”

Upon hearing her words, Ellie’s face became contemplative and she began to turn blue. From the conversation she sees, it seems that Ellie is a maid who has worked for Vivien since she was alive.

“Dog, crawl on all fours like a dog, oh, come…”

“You remember it well. Like me.”

Following Ainsel’s words, she smiled and Ellie’s body began to tremble like an aspen tree. She shivered so hard that her teeth chatted and her pupils twitched like crazy.

Judging that Vivien’s loss of her memory was just a rumor, Ellie prostrated herself almost to the floor and confessed her guilt like a condemned condemned man on a guillotine.

“Yo, forgive me… Lord, I have committed a mortal sin… Go, I dare not deceive Her Highness…”

Ellie was foolish enough to believe that Vivian had lost her memory, so she thought she would look down on Vivian. She wouldn’t remember anything, so I wondered if she would be okay for a little bit.

She wondered why she had such a stupid idea… She probably wanted to give Vivian back a little bit of what she’d been bullied for all this time.

… She expected it to a certain extent, but she seemed to know a little bit how dirty Vivian’s personality was and how much she hated Vivian around her.

“Ellie, are you really stupid? What did I tell you to do if you want to be forgiven by me?”

The moment Ellie raised her head and my gaze met her, Ellie smiled at her fear-stricken face. Then, before she had time to stop, she slammed her forehead into the floor.

Boom! Bang! Bang!

Once, twice, three times.

‘…I’m going crazy, really.’

Ellie didn’t stop banging her forehead on the marble floor until she was bleeding. Only when she felt the blood flow from her forehead did she smile and look at me.

“If this is the case, can I be forgiven by Her Highness the Queen?”

“…Yes, I like it.”

The last one wasn’t following Ainsel’s words. It’s just that I didn’t want to see such a crazy Ellie anymore, so I just said it on my own.

As if she was really happy that she had been forgiven, Ellie looked at me and smiled broadly. Even though his forehead was all cracked and blood was flowing.

‘…First of all, I need to raise Vivian’s reputation a little bit. If I continue like this, even if I live like a rat, I might die from being stabbed with a knife.’

At this point, I thought that someone I didn’t even know who really had feelings for Vivian might assassinate me. I should avoid being stabbed and killed in my sleep.

As she pondered how to raise her reputation, Ainsel fell on her floor and growled at Ellie, who begged her forgiveness.

-Where do you climb up to Vivian, on the subject of a maid? I don’t even know the subject!

Ainsel was a little dumbfounded when Vivien was cursed at for hating Vivian to the point of nausea, as if she had been cursed at herself.

Is this what it is? Even if my baby is cursing, am I cursing?

‘…I don’t know. At least I shouldn’t curse at Vivian in front of Ainsel.’

Just as she was about to wipe Ellie’s bleeding forehead, there was another knock-knock coming from the door.

I was startled and looked at the place where the sound came from. A middle-aged man with bangs half receded back, looking at me and Ellie with a nonchalant expression, then sighed and opened his mouth.

“…It seems the doctor misdiagnosed Her Highness the Queen.”

“Ah, Mr. Prime Minister…?”

Ellie turned her head to look at the Prime Minister with a surprised expression. As if she was losing her hair due to stress, her bangs had gray hair that receded half way back, and her weary eyes were dull blue.

50’S…? 60’S…? A middle-aged man, looking tired to the point of thinking, entered the room slowly, knelt down next to Ellie and looked up at me.

“I am glad that you are well. Her Highness the Queen.”

The tone was friendly and worried, but the expression and voice were not at all. The chancellor greeted me with a voice that seemed completely emotionless, and smiled.

From noble mtl dot com

And I, I followed the words of Ainsel.

He returned it with a smile brighter than the Prime Minister’s smile.

“…Yes, I am strong, but the chancellor’s hair doesn’t seem to be strong, so I’m worried.”

A small vein formed on the Prime Minister’s forehead after hearing my sarcastic remarks.

*

There are numerous NPCs that help the princess grow as a game in which the nurturing simulation game grows by meeting various characters.

Apart from members of the royal family, there are people involved in education who are in charge of educating people to be fostered, and people who work part-time to help people live in society. I was able to meet several NPCs.

Among them, the chancellor was no exception.

I don’t know the exact last name, but the name was called ‘Bang Show’.

As an old chancellor suffering from stress-induced hair loss, in the game, he was a person in charge of the princess’s education and one of the people who helped the princess in the royal family.

‘It looks exactly like the illustration. No, a little richer? Well, it’ll come off completely in the second half anyway, so what does that matter?’

Let’s look closely at the receding forehead of Bang Chao, and Bang Chao is so excited! He coughed loudly as if he was displeased.

“First of all, I apologize for entering Her Highness’s room without permission. I heard quite a commotion… I couldn’t help but feel anxious, wondering what to do if something happened to Her Highness.”

It was enough to tell from the voice alone that the chancellor’s words were not sincere at all. I was even mistaken as if a machine was talking at the moment how carelessly he spoke.

“Yeah… So? The chancellor must be busy too, so why did you ask for an audience?”

“Of course, it was because I was worried about Her Highness. Because it is the chancellor’s role to assist Her Highness the Queen, the mother of the country.”

Huh… I wonder if she came with oil on her tongue.

As soon as I asked a question, I couldn’t hide my surprise when I saw the Prime Minister answering in less than a second. I glanced around and looked at Ellie, who was still kneeling beside me.

“Get out of here.”

“Yes, yes..!”

After I gave my permission to leave the room, Ellie ran out of the room as if she were running with her lightning speed.

It was only after confirming that the door was completely closed that Ainsel and I were able to ask Vinshaw what we wanted to ask.

“Get to the point. I’m sure you didn’t ask for an audience to help me.”

“My desire to assist Her Highness is always sincere-“

“Stop, should I pluck out that greased tongue to clear my mind?”

Bangshaw smiled at my answer and straightened his knee. As if exhausted, he tapped his knee and sat on the chair, looking at me.

“First of all, I really came to check on Her Highness’ condition. Because the doctor said Her Highness the Queen has lost her memory. But… Well, as you can see, it must have been a misdiagnosis by the doctor. hahahaha.”

…I don’t think it’s a misdiagnosis, but I really don’t remember Vivian. Instead of her lost memories, there is only a mirror fairy who helps me by my side…

“Huh.”

I didn’t answer Bangshaw’s words and just laughed them off.

Bang Shaw laughed along, and soon stopped laughing and opened his mouth again.

“…It’s great news that Her Highness is in good health, but it’s not necessarily good news. I have one bad news.”

“Bad news?”

When he saw the face of Bangsho, whose laughter had disappeared, cold sweat broke out on his back. In movies and novels, in this case, the main topic was the bad news rather than the good news.

“That… Because of her ‘resurrection’ at the funeral home, rumors are spreading that Her Highness is a ‘witch’. First of all, I issued an order to silence the witnesses, but…”

“…So?”

“There are many stories coming out of the Council of Elders. It was said that she would not hesitate to divorce Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty. As you know, if Her Highness the Queen were to divorce Her Majesty…”

I bit my dry lips at the sight of Bang Shaw talking as if he was really serious.

No way, do I have to die? I wanted to, but…

“You won’t be able to avoid the ‘witch trial’ held in the ‘temple’. It has already reached the ears of the temple, but thanks to Her Highness and Her Majesty’s authority, the story has not come out.”

Mr. Lee.

For a moment, I forcibly endured the curse that was about to come out.

So, the moment I gave up the position of queen, the ‘temple’ meant that I would be condemned as a ‘witch’, held a ‘witch trial’, and burned as a heretic.

Really, maybe good..?
