[Episode 119] – Was I the only one who didn’t know? (2)
“Veronica…Sister…”
“…Hello, you bastard Titania.”
Veronica smiled bitterly as she looked down at Titania, who was curled up in her blanket and crying. She had cried so much that her eyes were swollen and hard to open, and her hair was a mess.
She hadn’t eaten properly for several days, and her once soft face was sallow, as if she had suffered a lot mentally, and the area under her eyes was dark, like that of someone who was sick. She had been expecting this situation ever since Vivian told her she was leaving, but…
As expected, it wasn’t a good look.
It was as if she was seeing her old self.
Veronica sighed and swept under Titania’s dark eyes. The slight wetness on her fingers and the painful redness of her eyes showed how much Titania had been crying.
Titania begged, holding Veronica’s hand as she stroked her eyes. Titania grabbed Veronica, asking why she didn’t think of this until now.
That’s right, Veronica is a witch. Because she is a witch who lives with seven dwarves. So, she was sure that her older sister would be able to find her mother who left the palace. Titania looked at Veronica.
“Oh, my sister, my mother left the palace and disappeared somewhere, leaving me behind…”
After Titania swallowed her dry saliva once, she begged Veronica in a voice deep from crying. Find her mother, find her mother. She said she couldn’t live without her mother. So, please.
“Sister, can you please help me? You said a long time ago that you would grant all my wishes. Huh?”
“…Titania.”
“So, huh? Please bring me mother. Please, please, please…”
However, Veronica looked at Titania and said nothing. No, she didn’t know how to answer and she was at a loss. What will she say to Titania, who is begging like this?
Veronica knew that Titania liked Vivian. She also knew that Titania’s feelings for her Vivian were different from those she felt herself.
She herself was seeing ‘her family’ through Vivian, but Titania was looking beyond what she was looking at through Vivian. A relationship that is closer and more precious than her family.
What is the end beyond that Titania sees through her Vivian? It was a feeling that even Veronica, who had gone through dozens of regressions, had never felt. Therefore, Veronica was at a loss as she did not know what to say.
Unlike herself, who had accepted when Vivian told her she was leaving, Titania’s appearance, unable to let go, was heartbreaking. Seeing Titania’s sad appearance like that, Veronica felt really sorry.
“…I’m sorry.”
Veronica wiped Titania’s tears and apologized. If I had known you would be this hurt, I would have stopped Vivian. If I had known you would be this sad, I would have helped her prepare her heart.
But…
“You can’t bring Vivian back.”
“Uh, you…?”
Because I also have a sin against Vivian.
As someone who committed a crime, he had no right to stop Vivian from leaving. Veronica looked at Titania, arching her eyes apologetically. Titania did not understand Veronica’s apology.
Why are you feeling sorry for me? She says what does my sister have to be sorry about me? And, he said he would grant my wish. My sister said she would help me. But why on earth? Why can’t she bring her mother?
“Why on earth-“
The moment she asked again with her mouth open, a thought passed through Titania’s head as she saw Veronica smiling with the corners of her eyes curled. Oh, I see. Veronica: So her sister knew too?
The fact that her mother is leaving.
“…I see.”
Her terrible sense of betrayal felt like it was cutting into her heart. Veronica I thought her sister didn’t know. She couldn’t understand why her mother had told her sister Veronica, but she hadn’t told herself.
I hated her mother. She hated her mother for leaving her without saying a word, and at the same time she missed her beloved mother so much that she let out an alien laugh.
I loved her mother, but I hated her.
She hates her mother, but she loves her.
I felt like I was going crazy because I was so distressed by those conflicting emotions.
A deep, distorted smile appeared on Titania’s face. As she spoke slowly, a pale smile appeared at the corner of Titania’s mouth. The corners of her mouth trembled, forming a distorted line.
“…I guess I was the only one who didn’t know.”
Water gathered at the corners of her bent eyes. As her tangled emotions surged, Titania’s cheeks trembled. As a result of the trembling, tears formed at the corners of her eyes and ran down her cheeks.
Drop, drop, drop.
“Really, I was the only one who didn’t know.”
“……”
“Grandma, Bankshow, and my sister all knew, but I was the only one who didn’t know. Surely, Ainsel knew too, right? Yes? Was I the only one who didn’t know that her mother was leaving?”
-Princess…
“Don’t call me!!”
As she fidgeted with her Aincell and called out to Titania, Titania, overcome with emotion, took off her necklace containing the Aincell and threw it at Veronica. She flew through the sky and Ain Cell landed in Veronica’s hand.
“Get out!! Everyone get out!! “Don’t ever come into my sight again!!”
Titania threw away her ain cell and now threw her pillow. Veronica just looked at Titania, telling her to get out and not to come closer, throwing away whatever was in her hands.
Looking at Titania, who had nothing left to throw and was sobbing on her bed, Veronica began to think about what to do. If I continued like this, I felt like I would break my ‘promise’ with Vivian.
She promised to stay by Titania’s side, to help her, to rely on each other and to be like her own sisters. Because the promise contained the meaning of ‘helping’ Titania.
‘…I’m sorry Vivian, but I can’t help it. This is also to help Titania.’
Veronica sat down on the bed, crossed her legs, and looked at Titania. Titania curled up like a puppy who was still abandoned and hit by her rain, and just rolled her eyes and glared at Veronica.
Looking at that scene, Veronica let out her sigh.
“Titania. I was asked by Vivian to stay by your side. “So that you don’t feel lonely, and always help you when you’re having a hard time.”
“……”
“So, I planned to help you and stay by your side until you become queen. That was the promise I made to Vivian, and after that, I had to do my own thing.”
Titania slightly raised her head and looked at Veronica when she heard Veronica’s sincere voice. Veronica straightened Titania’s tangled hair with her hands and smiled.
“So, considering the promise I made to Vivian, I plan to help you generously until you become queen. “Do you know what I’m saying?”
Titania shook her head, saying she didn’t know what he was talking about. She’s Titania, she’s queen now and she’s what she is and she doesn’t care. It was just that she desperately wanted to see her mother. Because she lived for her mother more than being queen.
Veronica let out a small sigh and continued her words.
“In other words, I will do my best to accommodate any request you make until I become queen. For example, if you ask me to find Vivian, I will find you.”
“Really…?”
“Okay, I’ll find it for you. But, you can’t let her meet Vivian through me. Because that would mean breaking my promise to Vivian. Instead-“
Veronica presented Titania with an offer she couldn’t refuse, as if offering her a carrot. Because it was clear what Titania wanted most right now. She needed help to at least get motivated.
“You may not be able to meet Vivian right now, but I will let you see her.”
Upon hearing that she could see Vivian, Titania suddenly raised her head and looked at Veronica. It must be said that the effect of her carrots was too great, and Veronica smiled bitterly at the sight of Titania looking at her with her eyes flashing.
“Really…?”
“…Okay. “I don’t know where Vivian went, so I can’t do it right away, but I will find her as soon as possible and let you see Vivian through Ainsel.”
-Yes, yes? Me?
“Yes, your fairy characteristics can be reflected no matter how far away you are, as long as you are there, right? “You can do this much for your favorite Titania, right?”
-That’s right, but…
Ainsel turned his head and looked at Titania. Unlike the image of her crying earlier, she couldn’t refuse the sight of her looking at her with lively eyes. If Titania could come to her senses, she thought, there was nothing she could do about it.
-…Okay. I will do that.
“Okay. Ainsel also gave permission, and I will soon prepare to find Vivian. Titania, what do you want to do?”
Titania rubbed her eyes and opened them wide. Although she couldn’t meet her mother yet, she was happy to be able to watch from afar for now. As long as she knew how her mother lived, she could always go and visit her mother.
Titania got up from her bed, hesitated, then smiled and gave her thanks to Veronica.
“…Thank you, sister.”
