I Raised Snow White! - Chapter 125



125. I’m always watching

[Episode 125] – I’m always watching.

“Can you read this to me?”

A few days after Titania cut her hair.

Titania gently placed a thick envelope of documents in front of Veronica and Ainsel. Veronica glanced at Titania, opened the envelope on the table, and took out its contents.

“This is…”

As Veronica began to drool, she began to read the contents of the document. Most of it contained personal information about nobles working in the royal castle. Starting with ministerial positions, all the way down to the lowest nobles.

What family they belong to, what department they work in, and even what kind of family relationships they have. Veronica frowned slightly as she read the detailed and detailed document.

“…Why are you showing this to me?”

“I want her older sister and Eincel to help me. “No big deal, just to dust herself off a little.”

“Dust?”

When Veronica raised her head and looked at Titania, Titania smiled and took the documents from Veronica’s hand and continued her explanation. Why did she show these documents to Veronica and Einsel?

“The people listed in this document are nobles who ‘approved’ of sending her mother out of the royal castle. Even though I narrowed it down briefly with the help of Bankshow… There are really a lot of them. Right?”

Titania smiles and flips through documents. Veronica looked at that scene and couldn’t help but make a bitter expression. That’s right, what Titania is going to do from now on is the same as Vivian of old.

“…So, are you planning to take advantage of the nobles’ weaknesses and threaten them, just like Vivian did in the past? “They kicked Vivian out of the castle, so are they going to kick them out of the castle too?”

“Sister, that can’t be possible. How can I kick out innocent nobles? Did I tell you? “I just want to dust it off a little bit.”

“That’s that…!”

Veronica tried to argue with her, but when she saw Titania’s expression, she couldn’t continue her words. The reason Titania had eyes like that was because she and Aincel were to blame.

The cold, sunken eyes were shining coldly. Her bright red eyes, which had always looked at her with bold eyes, now seemed to contain nothing.

“I have no intention of expelling innocent nobles either. Really, if her sister and Eincel were clean and nothing came out of their investigation, they wouldn’t kick her out just because she supported kicking out her mother. But, but? “If you shake it off just a little bit and there’s just enough dust to come out… wouldn’t it be better to just grind it up?”

Titania smiled brightly and placed her documents down in front of Veronica again. Veronica took her papers, then raised her head and looked at Titania once again.

“You said you would help me, right? Huh?”

Clearly, a faint smile was drawn on the corner of Titania’s mouth, but her eyes were not smiling. Veronica truly regretted her own choice, saying she would not have shown Vivian if she had known it would be like this.

Veronica flipped through her documents once again and checked the personal information of the nobles written there. Veronica let out a deep sigh as she turned through her papers and saw faces she had seen many times in her life.

“…Do whatever you want.”

“Thank you always, sister. “Ainsel will help you too, right?”

Titania turned her head to look at the Ain Cell placed on her table, smiled at the corners of her eyes, and asked. Aincel looked at Titania blankly for a moment, then she smiled and nodded.

After Ainsel gave permission, Titania smiled. However, neither Veronica nor Ainsel could laugh along with that smile. Because she knows that Titania isn’t really smiling.

Veronica was worried about Titania’s behavior. What Titania is doing now is as if she is preparing for Vivian’s return here.

If Vivian doesn’t come back like this…

‘…Vivian. I guess we all misjudged Titania. I need you to leave here too, but she thought Titania could stand on her own. That’s why I let you go…’

Veronica let out a small sigh and shook her head.

It was because I could imagine what would happen to Titania if Vivian did not return here. Now, I think we need to bring them back here, not just for Titania, but for Vivian…

I started to have those thoughts.

*

Whenever Titania had time, she looked at Vivian through the mirror on her desk. After her mother left her, she watched in the mirror every day what she was doing, where she was, and what she was doing.

As she continued to watch, she learned about what her mother did after leaving her, where she lived, and who she lived with.

My mother opened a small bakery in the countryside far from the capital and lived there. He lived with a ‘witch’ named Katarina under the same roof, using a shop built in the woods as their home.

‘Catarina. Don’t make too much today. ‘I guess the weather is bad and the kids won’t come.’

‘Yes, yes. Well, I will.’

Perhaps because it is a bakery in the countryside, most of the customers who come to the store are young children from the village. Other than that, there are the occasional friendly-looking ladies and elderly people who come for tea.

Most of the villagers who came to the store came to talk to their mothers rather than to buy snacks. My mother seemed to be quite popular in the village.

One day, a woman who seemed to be close to her mother came to visit her and we had tea together and talked about her mother’s ‘remarriage.’

‘Vivian still has no intention of remarrying? ‘Isn’t it too hard to live alone with her daughter in her store?’

‘I always say this, but I have no thoughts yet. ‘She has no shortage of living alone with her daughter.’

‘It’s a shame… If it were Vivian, all the men in the village would definitely be lining up. ‘Shall I introduce you to a good man?’

‘I prefer fateful encounters rather than being introduced. Isn’t her wife like that too?’

‘Ahahahahaha! That’s every girl’s dream! Because before my husband and her marriage, I thought he was destined. Furthermore-‘

The conversation between mother and wife, filled with cackling and laughter, lasted over three hours and ended only after the sun had set.

My mother would not have liked long conversations in the capital city, but was it because she felt at ease in the countryside? During the long conversation with her wife, there was no sign of her dislike at all.

Only after her wife had left did Katharina, with her messy hair, stick her head out of the kitchen and sneak up on her mother. Since when did these two become so close?

After that, Titania placed her mirror face down on the desk. It was because she didn’t want to see her mother being intimate with another woman when she wasn’t around.

Just like that, another day.

Young children flocked into her mother’s shop, reflected in the mirror. Perhaps because they were not afraid of their mother’s sharp face, the children smiled brightly and called her mother this way.

‘Witch! Witch! ‘Give me this!’

‘I won’t sell snacks to bad kids who call me a witch~ Go back~’

‘Oh my! Even witches are strict! Just be thankful she doesn’t call you Grandma Granny anymore!’

‘You are prohibited from entering our store from today. I know that because I will tell your mother.’

Crack, squeal, the kids were excited and called their mother a witch, wondering what was so good about it. She said that at first her children called her a devilish grandmother because of her scary face, and Titania chuckled at the sight of her mother lamenting.

“Witch… Witch… That seems like a cute nickname.”

Certainly, her mother’s face was scary when she first saw it. She had a nose that looked like it would cut if touched, lips as red as blood, blonde hair that sparkled like gold coins, and sharp, angry eyes.

When she was young, she was really scared of her mother’s face like that, but now she found everything about her mother extremely endearing. She has such a lovely face that I want to meet her right away and look at her face.

When Titania looked at the mirror again, she pointed to the cookie with her finger and shouted to Vivian to see if the child in the mirror had chosen the cookie.

‘Witch! Witch! ‘Give me this quickly!’

‘Yes, three hundred fairy tales.’

From noble mtl dot com

‘Yes, here!’

The child smiled and placed three fairy tales in her mother’s hands. The mother giggled and handed her child the snack she had chosen, which she answered.

‘I definitely received it. ‘That’s three hundred fairy tales.’

‘Ihihi!’

She smiled so brightly that the child holding the snack in his hand could see his teeth.

The sight of her mother stroking her child’s head and her child’s happy smiling face looked so happy that Titania unconsciously started biting her nails.

It was because of her extreme jealousy and nervousness.

It sure looks cute and happy enough to warm your heart, but why does it hurt like your insides are burning?

‘Why on earth am I not there? How can my mother smile so happily after leaving me behind? I…Even now, when I think about my mother…!’

Suddenly, her nails, which she had been biting without thinking, broke and made a sharp sound. Her fingernails broke and her bright red blood began to drip from between her hands and fingernails.

Titania didn’t even realize that her fingernails were broken, but because of the blood dripping from her fingertips and the fishy taste of blood remaining in her mouth, Titania only looked at her fingernails where they were bruised and bruised.

After wiping away the blood with her handkerchief, Titania turned her head again and looked at her mother in her mirror.

The sight of her mother laughing and chatting happily with her children made Titania feel like a fire was burning inside her.

‘…Still, there isn’t much left.’

Titania turned her head and looked at her window.

The hot sun was beating down on her a little bit, and the wind was starting to blow somewhat cooler. Soon, summer will end and fall will come.

When fall came, a coronation ceremony was scheduled.

So, before the coronation ceremony begins…

‘I will bring my mother back no matter what.’

*

A female vendor selling fruit at the village market looked up blankly at the sky. The sky was high and blue without a single cloud. The wind was cool, but the sun was shining warmly, making it the perfect weather for sleeping.

“It’s fall…”

The female merchant muttered while looking at the high sky. She then lowered her head again and looked at the fruits on the stand. These had to be sold quickly so that they could go to a bigger village and do business during the upcoming ‘festival’.

It was said that a big event would be held for a week from the coronation ceremony of the new queen in the country, so from her point of view as a businesswoman, it was an opportunity to make money that should not be missed.

As she was praying to the gods and even the fairies to quickly sell the fruit, a person wearing a hood all the way up to her head approached the stand and asked the price of the fruit.

“How much is this fruit?”

“Welcome! Therefore…”

The female merchant glanced, rolled her eyes and looked at her customer, who had pulled her hood down to the end of her head. She tried to hide her face with her hood, but it couldn’t hide her black hair, which stuck out when she lowered her head.

The black hair flowing like silk proved to anyone that he was not a commoner. It seemed as if a grace that could not be hidden even with her hood oozing out of her demeanor.

As the female merchant was looking at her customer blankly, the customer tilted her head as if asking what was going on.

“Ma’am?”

“Boo, you’re my wife. Just call me ma’am. That fruit? Instead of selling just one, we sell three. There were originally 6 fairy tales, but please only give me 5.”

“5 Fairy tales? Wait a minute.”

The hooded customer searched his pockets and then asked the female merchant.

“By any chance… Do you know about a snack shop nearby where a witch lives?”

“Witch…? Oh, if it’s that store, just climb over the fence over there and walk a short distance. “Did she come looking for that store?”

“That’s right. Thank you. Ma’am. “This is my return.”

The customer took a small coin out of her pocket and placed it in her wife’s hand. A golden coin that shines brighter than a ripe wheat field illuminated by the setting sun. The woman merchant looked back and forth at the gold coins in her palm with her mouth wide open.

When she tried to argue that she had given it to him by mistake, the customer shook his head and started walking in the direction the merchant had indicated. However, the merchant began to feel anxious. If you receive something higher than its original value in return, you may be anxious that the other person may have given it to you in the wrong way.

The female merchant, worried that it might be an outsider who had come to arrest the owner of the confectionery shop due to rumors that she was a witch, shouted at her customer who was walking away.

“Well, the owner of that store is called a witch, but she’s not a real witch! “It’s just kids playing around…!”

As she continued to make excuses, the customer wearing her hood turned her head and looked at the female merchant. As the wind blew, the front of the hood became disheveled, and soon the customer’s face began to appear.

Hair as black as ebony, and bright red eyes like drops of blood. The beautiful customer, smiling with the corners of her eyes curled, answered the merchant with a grin.

“I know, too.”
