I Raised Snow White! - Chapter 128



128. The story from now on

[Episode 128] – The story from now on

“Uh, huh, right here…”

Katarina quietly entered the royal castle and began to turn her head here and there and look around her room. As she was staring blankly at a place she had never seen before, Veronica came up in front of Katarina.

“Nice to meet you, Katarina.”

“Uh, huh? Oh, what? Are you cumming, twins?”

“They are not twins. “I’ll explain that later…”

Katarina, seeing Veronica’s face, was startled and shook her shoulders. No matter how I looked at her, she had the same face as Titania. No, when she looked closely, she looked a little younger than Titania.

Veronica let out a small sigh, and she brought something out of her own way to Katarina. A small ‘glowing golden oval ball’ floated in the palm of her hand. This is what Veronica obtained through her auction at her academy-

“Yo, fairy egg…? Wow, wow…! This is a poem, a real thing…?!”

Katarina looked at the ‘fairy egg’ placed on Veronica’s palm with her curious eyes. It was like a child looking at a new toy.

As expected, Veronica smiled, saying she knew Katarina would react like this, and placed the ‘fairy egg’ on Katarina’s palm. Then, she explained the ‘reason’ for bringing Katharina here.

“Katarina. From now on, you will be staying with me and helping me analyze the ‘Fairy Egg’. Instead, I will stay with you for the time being.”

“Uh, uhm… What about Vivian…?”

“…I’ll let you meet Vivian sometimes. But, you’ll have to stay with me for a while. “The reason I asked Titania to bring you here is because I need your ‘knowledge’ as a witch.”

Katarina looked glum upon hearing the news that she would not be able to see Vivian for a while. As her lips pouted, Veronica smiled, took the fairy egg back, and continued.

“Don’t make that face. There are a lot of fairies where I live… Really, it’s a big family. “You will never feel lonely.”

“Uh, uh… How many people are there…?”

Veronica smiled and answered.

“Seven people. If you include us, there will be eight people. In addition, I will prepare every meal for you and do the cleaning for you. All you have to do is study the ‘Fairy Egg’ there with me. How is it? “It’ll be fun, right?”

In response to her answer containing everything she wanted, the corners of Katarina’s mouth began to twitch as if she was suppressing laughter. I knew from her regression that Katarina was a person who really suffered from loneliness.

How difficult it was for her to break up even when they met before her regression…

‘… She will have to repay the help she received back then.’

Veronica smiled slightly and looked at Katarina, who started laughing. This was simply to repay Katarina’s favor to Katarina, who had saved her from almost being killed by a hunter.

‘By returning the favor, I also received a little help.’

Soon, research on the fairy egg was blocked and it was difficult.

Veronica thought it was the perfect opportunity and accepted Katarina into her ‘cabin’. Veronica smiled brightly, feeling that her seven dwarfs had somehow become eight dwarves.

“From now on, call me Veronica.”

Time passed, and Titania’s coronation ceremony began. The coronation ceremony began in a very solemn atmosphere, so the interior of the royal castle was so quiet that not even the sound of breathing could be heard.

Veronica, who tied Vivian to a chair as Titania requested, let out a small sigh as she looked at Vivian’s tied figure. Once he did as Titania asked, he tied Vivian to a chair…

‘…Is this right?’

From noble mtl dot com

I really wondered if it was right to go this far.

However, it was clear that if this was not done, Titania’s anxiety would continue to grow. After learning that Vivian had left, Titania became extremely haggard.

Titania’s face still flashed before Veronica’s eyes when she looked up at her from under the blanket. The pale face looked as if it would push Titania to the brink of death at any moment.

His white face looked like a corpse, and the only thing he cried out from his parched lips was Vivian’s name. It was impossible to neglect Titania, who was confined to her room and living like a waste of her own.

As if his life had no meaning without Vivian by his side, he didn’t even eat and acted as if he was going to die at any moment, so he needed Vivian to save Titania. Furthermore…

“…This is also for you. Vivian.”

Veronica stroked Vivian’s sleeping face and smiled. Although she had no choice but to bring her back like this, Veronica was a little glad that Vivian was back in the castle.

‘…It won’t be easy to go back to the way it was before, though.’

The reason why he had no choice but to forcefully bring Vivian was not only for the sake of Titania, who was gradually falling apart, but also for the sake of Vivian, who eventually ran away.

When Titania defined Vivian as a witch and said she would report her to her temple, it was truly scary. Titania’s eyes smiled brightly, saying it was a joke and that there was such a ‘method’, but it was not a joke.

‘…Really, who does it resemble?’

As Veronica was lamenting with her small sigh, saying that her blood cannot be deceived, Vivian’s body began to flinch and tremble. Her closed eyes began to blink slowly, and soon their eyes met Vivian’s.

“Tita…? No, Veronica…?”

“…Did you sleep well? Vivian?”

Veronica smiled and looked at Vivian. Vivian looked around him with blank eyes, probably half asleep, and when she realized that this was the royal castle, her eyes widened like a surprised rabbit.

“Huh? What is this…! Uh?!”

The moment Vivian was confused and confirmed that she was tied to his chair, fireworks were shot into the air outside his window. Pop! Along with the sound, the color of the flames added color to the dark room.

“…Vivian, I don’t have time, so I’ll be brief.”

“Huh…? Now, just a moment! Veronica…! Let’s release this first…”

“…First of all, I’m sorry. I had no choice but to do this, both for you and for Titania. “It’s my fault for not making the right choice.”

“Huh…?”

Veronica looked at the fireworks going off outside her window. Vivian didn’t understand this situation. No, there was no way I could understand. When I opened my eyes and woke up, I was tied to a chair.

Besides, this place…

“Veronica… Why am I in the royal castle? Huh? Explain properly…!”

“…Don’t think about running away from here for now. “I’m saying this for you.”

Seeing Vivian’s restless appearance, Veronica smiled bitterly and gently stroked Vivian’s face with her fingertips. He felt bad for looking nervous and anxious, but he couldn’t help it now.

“…First, meet Titania.”

Ttogak- Ttogak- Ttogak-

The sound of shoe heels hitting the floor echoed in the hallway. Fast and sharp. It sounded like footsteps chasing something. Quickly, quickly, quickly. Titania walked quickly, as if quickening her steps.

Titania arrived in front of the room where her mother was. After taking a deep breath, she slowly opened the door. Inside her dark room, she found her mother tied to her chair, waiting for her.

Vivien, frowning at the bright light in the hallway, slowly opened her eyes and looked at Titania. The moment their eyes met, Titania was overcome with all kinds of emotions and her heart felt like it was going to explode.

The affection she felt as she looked at her mother, the hatred she felt for leaving her arbitrarily, the anger she felt for leaving her without a word, and the intense love she still felt for her mother despite those emotions.

Titania was confused by indescribable emotions, as if a great storm had broken out in her heart. So slowly Titania approached Vivian, who was tied to her chair.

As her face got closer, the first emotions she felt were extremely vivid hatred and anger. Two years ago, she wondered what on earth she was thinking when she ignored her and left her crying for her mother.

Titania glared at Vivian, saying that at least at that time, if she had shown her face, if she had met her and talked to her, if she had comforted her even a little, she would not have been treated like this.

Before she knew it, Titania had arrived in front of her tied up mother, and lifted her mother’s chin violently, avoiding her own gaze. To make eye contact with her, to make sure it was really her mother.

Titania held Vivian’s chin tightly, her mouth full of laughter. She told me not to run away, to look straight at me, not to avert her gaze from the daughter you left behind.

“You really are a witch. “The witch who left my side without saying a word.”

Titania laughed and called Vivian ‘witch.’ It was a nickname that meant that I already knew where you were and what you were doing after you left me.

When she was called witch, her mother’s eyes fluttered. She was trying to avoid looking at herself somehow, and seemed to be struggling to come up with an excuse. Her words, which she said after thinking so much, ended up being-

“I, I am just because of the ‘promise’…”

Ha, promise?

Is it another promise?

Titania squeezed Vivian’s chin even harder, as if she didn’t want to hear it. Her jaw tightened, her cheeks pushed in and her mouth was forced open. Is that all you have to say to me in this situation?

Then, what was the promise you made with me? Only the promises made with ministers are important, but what about the promises made with me and my fingers crossed? Are you saying I can ignore all those promises? Because it was just a promise to a child?

“Aha, you can ignore the ‘promise’ you made with me, but you should keep the ‘promise’ you made with someone else?”

My mother didn’t say anything. She didn’t know whether it was because of her clenched jaw that she couldn’t speak, or whether she didn’t answer because her mother knew, but she couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

My mother, who values promises so much, why didn’t she keep the promise she made to me? She wanted to yell at him to ask and answer right away, but Titania sighed and let go of her hold on her chin.

“Well, that’s enough now. “No matter what the process was, the fact that you came back here is meaningful.”

“Why on earth…?”

Why? Why? Are those words coming out of your mouth? Titania pursed her lips and burst into laughter. Her mother’s face, which looked like she was about to cry at any moment, seemed to say that she was a ‘victim’.

Ah, I see. Your mother doesn’t know anything? You don’t know anything about why I’m doing this, why I’m holding you, why I’m tying you up. So you’re asking me this.

“Why?”

Titania slowly brushed Vivian’s lips as if crushing them. Her lips, which could only spit out answers, were disappointing. Okay, if you don’t know, you should tell me. I’ll have to tell you directly. But…

“Because you don’t know that, I have no choice but to be like this.”

I won’t tell you yet. For the time being, you will stay by my side and I will teach you step by step. What did you do wrong and how do I feel about you? One by one, step by step.

Titania smiled softly, curling the corners of her eyes, gently tilting her head and brushing Vivian’s lips. Her hand moved from her lips to her chin, from her chin down to her neck, gently brushing her collarbone.

“If you run away from me one more time, I will put a leash around your neck, so you know that.”

No, it would be better to put a leash on him later. Not a clunky, ugly chain, but a chain that resembles a beautiful necklace. It would be nice to decorate your mother’s neck pretty.

I am putting on a beautiful chain that binds my beautiful mother to my side. With the hope that you will never let me go by your side again. For the rest of my life, I am a chain that I cannot take off on my own.

“You know, right? Witch? No-“

Titania gently stroked Vivian’s neck and imagined Vivian wearing her chains. He said it must be beautiful to see her delicate neck wrapped in a chain studded with sparkling jewels.

Titania smiled softly.

“Mother?”
