I Raised Snow White!

53. A runaway commotion that is not a runaway (3)

[Episode 53] – A runaway commotion that is not a runaway (3)

Titania, who was led by the brownie’s hand to her table, glanced at her, sat down at her table, and looked around her. What the hell is this situation? Should it be considered kidnapping?

However, it was too lax to call her a kidnapping. He was not tied down, he was not imprisoned, and he had no one to watch over him. The only thing she has is a young ‘fairy’ about her own age.

The brownie, running around at a brisk pace, began to prepare food on the table as if she were having a lot of fun. He cooked the soup in a large pot and put the hot bread on the table.

-hehehe, since I was preparing in a hurry, I have nothing else to offer you. Go ahead and try it!

Titania, looking down at the steaming soup, looked at the brownie sitting opposite her, not knowing what to do. Can i eat it? However, food given by strangers…

She learned not to accept food from strangers, but the soup in front of her looked so delicious. Titania’s body twitched at the scent of her meaty soup.

Growl- The sound echoing from Titania’s stomach filled the cabin with a roar. Titania quickly wrapped her arms around her stomach, but there was no way that her rumbling sound could be hidden.

Once again, louder growls! As her voice boomed and filled her cabin, Titania blushed and bowed her head in embarrassment. Come to think of it, she hasn’t eaten since the tea party…

“Aww.”

-Ehehehe, it’s okay to eat. Brownie made it herself. Brownies don’t add poison to their food, so don’t worry too much!

Brownie raised his arms around his waist and proudly declared that he was not messing with his food. Titania glared at the brownie suspiciously, but the brownie just laughed bashfully.

As she gulped down her mouthful and tug-of-war with her patience in front of her bowl, Ainsel glanced at her soup and brownies, sighed softly, and whispered to Titania.

-It’s okay to eat food made by the house elf, ‘brownie’. Those children are really good fairies. She’s a ‘fairy’ who plays pranks sometimes, but never mischief.

“Really…?”

-Yes, I, the same fairy, will guarantee it. So don’t worry too much and it’s okay to eat.

Titania nodded at Ainsel’s words, took her wooden spoon, scooped out the soup laden with her meat that was placed in front of her, and put her meat on the spoon. She then put her mouthful in her big mouth and gulped.

The fatty and tender meat, cut into bite-sized pieces, melted in your mouth. Potatoes with plenty of umami of the soup feel like they are falling apart in your mouth.

The savory aroma of butter and the sweet taste of onion melted into the soup and swallowed it like tender meat. Although Titania had lived on all sorts of delicacies in her life…

“The most delicious soup I have ever had…”

-hehehe, there are still many! Let me know if you want more!

Titania sipped her soup into her mouth in her gulp as she glanced up at the brownie with only her eyes raised. She looks like herself, she’s a girl her age. She’s a fairy, but why is she here alone?

As I was thinking while swallowing her soup, Ainsel spoke to the brownie.

– Brownie, thank you so much for preparing food for the princess. But, can you now tell us why we are here? I suddenly opened my eyes and found a cabin like this… To be honest, I don’t understand. Where the hell are you?

-This is a ‘hut’ where brownies and other fairies live together. The reason why you came here is because ‘Havetrot’ brought you here…? Brownie doesn’t know the details. ‘Princess’ said that she would welcome a guest today.

-…Havetrot?

As far as Ainsel knew, Havetrot was a ‘fairy of the spinning wheel’. And brownies are ‘house fairies’. Originally, it was almost impossible for different fairies to live together.

It is very rare for fairies to leave the place where they were born. Since the ‘meaning’ of their existence is where they were born, there was no particular reason to get out of the place they were born in.

Exactly, except for two reasons.

The first was the case where he lived and became a wanderer because his place of residence disappeared over time. Before Ainsel met Vivian, she had memories of wandering around various regions by the hands of humans as a wandering fairy.

The second is…

-Are you… A witch’s ‘familiar’?

-Yes! That’s right! Brownie is the witch’s ‘fellow horse’!

The brownie proudly exhaled his nose and proudly stretched out his chest. ‘Witch’s familiar.’ Fairies who make a contract with a witch to lend her power and receive her magic in return.

Convinced that the ‘princess’ the brownie was talking about was a witch, Ainsel narrowed her eyes and looked at the brownie. Who do you mean by princess? As far as Ainsel knew, there was no witch who was a ‘princess’ in the ‘Curven’.

-…Which witch? It must be one of the Witches of Kerven, right?

-Eh, that, that…

As the brownie hesitated and couldn’t forget the words, Ainsel felt her uneasiness engulf her whole body. It didn’t matter if the witch of the curve had brought the princess here.

They’re just playful, they don’t mess with people or anything like that. If bringing the princess here without a word was an act of the Witch of the Curb, she could only accept it as a ‘prank’.

But what if she isn’t the Witch of the Kerven? Ainsel said that she knew of ‘one’ active witch besides the witch of Kerven. A witch who made Aurora her ‘fairy’ and stole her own body.

Criminals are also being searched in the curb. Ainsel had to be wary of the existence of a ‘witch’ who turned people into fairies. Was the brownie too relaxed to belong to the “Good fairy”?

Ainsel opened her eyes and threatened the brownie.

-Speak quickly. Whose servant are you? A candy witch who lives with her twins? A mermaid witch? Or, a witch imprisoning her baby daughter in a tower? It doesn’t matter who. If it’s the Witch of the Kerven.

-Ah, that, I mean, brownies…?

The brownie’s eyes caused an earthquake in all directions. The moment her doubt turns into certainty, saying that the brownie’s ‘owner’ must be the ‘witch’ that Ainsel suspects –

My daughter-

At the sound of the cabin door opening, a ‘woman’ with a familiar face approached Titania. The woman smiled as she looked at Titania, who was eating her soup with a big mouthful.

“You are so bold. It must have been a place I didn’t know when I opened my eyes, isn’t it scary?”

“It blooms and blooms.”

“Swallow everything in your mouth and speak.”

Princess Fiona looked at Titania in amazement and laughed. At Princess Fiona’s words, Titania moved her small lips busily.

She mumbled hard, then her throat moved and she gulped down her soup, then her little tongue licked what was left around her lips and went in. Then, as if in surprise, the Princess looked up at Princess Fiona, her eyes wide open.

“Why are you here?”

“…Is that all you have to say to me? Is there anything else you want to ask? Aren’t you curious about where you are and why you’re here? No, isn’t it scary to suddenly come to an unknown place?”

At Princess Fiona’s absurd question, Titania tilted her head. Then she took another bite of her soup, put it in her mouth, swallowed it, puffed out her cheeks, and she answered Princess Fiona.

“I’m not afraid… What’s there to be afraid of? No scary person caught me, the soup was delicious, and I didn’t feel particularly bad, so it was rather comfortable. Oh, come to think of it, her tone suddenly changed? Are you mad at me?”

“…Yes, that’s all I’m curious about.”

Princess Fiona sighed heavily and sat down next to the brownie’s chair. She then rested her chin on her kitchen table, and with an impolite gesture she looked at Titania.

“This is my way of speaking. Don’t worry, I’m not saying this because I’m mad at you.”

“…Really?”

Princess Fiona let out a sigh at Titania’s suspicious gaze. Princess Fiona felt dizzy at the sight of Titania eating her soup, as if she was fearless because she was bold.

While waiting for Titania to finish her soup, Ainsel, which was caught around Titania’s neck, glared at Princess Fiona as if to kill her. Yes, this reaction would have been normal.

-What were you thinking that brought the princess here…?

“…Yeah, I was a little curious about you too. Why is Vivian’s ‘familiar’ hanging out with the princess instead of Vivian? Did Vivian take you with her to spy on the princess?”

-My question comes first. Tell me why you brought the princess here. What was the reason for kidnapping the princess?

Seeing Ainsel growl, Princess Fiona shrugged her shoulders. Then she told the brownie sitting next to her to bring her tea, and she smiled and looked at Ainsell.

“I hate to hear that you are kidnapped. I was thinking of returning it today anyway. If you really intended to kidnap them, you would send them to a slave market or something rather than a cabin, right? And, you say you’re a fairy, but you don’t even know where this is? Ah, since the body is a mirror, have you never been here before?”

-What is that…?

“This is the ‘byway of fairies’. There, too, only me and the ‘dwarfs’ hut’. It is a byway among alleys that even the Witch of Avalon cannot find.”

-This is the path of fairies…? So with the body…

Now that she realized why she couldn’t pass into her body, Ainsel widened her eyes. The path of fairies is like the back side of the world. So it was natural that he couldn’t connect with the main body.

“I brought you here on my own…yes. I just wanted to see Vivian’s true heart. Because she doesn’t understand that a woman raises her child with love. She thought that if the princess disappeared, she would show her true feelings.”

-…Didn’t I tell you? The current Vivian is different.

“How can you believe that? If it were you, there’s no way you wouldn’t know that woman’s personality. Weren’t you tricked by her into signing a contract as a ‘familiar’?”

-That, how…?

Princess Fiona smiled and looked at Ainsel as if she was pathetic. At that gaze, she glared at Princess Fiona as if Ainsell would kill her, but Princess Fiona just sighed and continued her words.

“Anyway, answer me. Did Vivian hang you around the princess’s neck for surveillance purposes? Did you put her on a leash so she always knew where she was? If she’s that woman’s personality, she’ll be-“

“It’s not like that. Ainsel is my friend, so he is with me.”

“…A friend?”

After finishing her soup and patting her lips with her handkerchief, Titania raised her eyebrows and looked at Princess Fiona. She then let out a small sigh, crossed her legs, and continued her speech proudly.

“This necklace is a ‘gift’ given to me by Ainsel. And, since earlier, she keeps insulting her mother, did I tell you earlier? Never insult her mother again.”

Princess Fiona laughed at Titania’s deadly stare. Even though she was brainwashed, she thought that it had gone badly, and the moment she opened her mouth, she began to feel a tingling sensation on her cheek that had been hit earlier.

And after the slap, Vivian’s teary face flickered in front of her eyes. The disgusting look of her sincerely angry with herself, sincerely worried about her princess.

‘…What on earth is the difference between you and me? Did you change her? Or, did she say that ‘I’ changed so boldly because the woman had changed?’

Princess Fiona let out her deep sigh, and she said nothing but just looked at Titania. Originally, she never intended to make it this big.

The reason she came here was just to ‘confirm’.

She came wearing the mask of ‘Princess Fiona’ to ‘see’ how I’ve been living since her father died with her mother and made her mother ‘Aurora’ into ‘Ryananshi’. Only.

Obviously, according to my thoughts, I had to grow up as a ‘witch’ while being abused and harassed by Vivian. I just came to give you a little help for such a young me…

However, contrary to my expectations, Vivian was sincerely loving me when I was young, and I was also growing up with sincere trust in, following, and affection for Vivien.

Unlike me.

Because of that appearance, I was ‘jealous’ without even realizing it, and ‘envy’. It was such a ridiculous ‘play’. I thought that if I ran away from home and became upset, I would surely find out Vivian’s true intentions.

Surely, that appearance of worrying about her was a lie, that the smile she gave herself was a fake smile, that her heart for herself was a fake, Princess Fiona thought.

However, completely different from what I thought, Vivian genuinely cared for me as if she were a little girl. He was angry with tears to the point that his eyes were red for me that he had run away from home.

That look was terribly disgusting.

I hated seeing that look.

A face she had never shown to me, she was showing me as a child. ‘I’ was ruined like this because of that woman, but why does ‘you’ seem happy thanks to that woman?

These questions kept ringing in my head.

Aren’t you supposed to be as unhappy as me? Why do you look happy Are you the same ‘me’ as me? I’m having such a hard time, shouldn’t you be having a hard time too? You…

Why are you different from me?

Princess Fiona gritted her teeth and looked at Titania. The princess is still glaring at herself with a bold expression. Her eyes were telling her to apologize for insulting her mother.

With that gaze, I no longer wanted to pay attention to this child. She felt that since she was different from herself anyway, that she was happy here, she didn’t need to bother and help herself.

She tried to help, but laughed at the situation where she was only cursing with her eyes. Where it went wrong, Princess Fiona couldn’t figure it out.

“…Enough, go back. If you open the cabin door and go out, you will arrive at a corner room in the palace. It’s dawn over there now… So you won’t get scolded too much.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes? Are you scolded? Why am I scolded?”

“Because I wrote a note in your handwriting that said, ‘Please don’t look for me.’ On the other side, you are now running away from home. Everyone is struggling to find you, who has run away. Especially Vivian.”

“Yeah?!?! Do, what the hell did you do!!”

Princess Fiona giggled at Titania’s angry expression with her mouth wide open. She gasped and jumped out of her chair and Titania ran to her door with a clatter of hers.

As she grabbed her doorknob and turned it to go outside, Princess Fiona called Titania to her feet with her arms crossed. Titania was already halfway out of her door.

“Princess Titania, when you go out, will you tell Vivian what happened here?”

“I will! I’m going to tell my mother to punish you!”

Cuck-cuck, Princess Fiona smiled and looked at Titania. Then, she looked at Titania and waved her hand gently to say goodbye.

“I’m sorry, but if you go outside, all your memories of being here will be gone. Because this is a ‘such a place’. You just become a ‘runaway girl’ found in a corner room.”

“Yes, yes?!”

Titania, who had already escaped leaving only her head behind, looked at Princess Fiona in amazement, but to no avail. As if she was drowning in a bottomless swamp, her body was sinking out of the door.

“W-Where is that?! When my mother gets angry, it’s really, really scary!!”

“I know.”

Titania struggled and waved her hand to save her life, but Princess Fiona just waved her hand softly. Seeing that figure, Titania puffed out her cheeks, and yelled! Screamed

“I hate you!!!”

With the final breath, Titania’s figure disappeared from the cabin. When the noisy cabin became quiet, the brownie hesitantly approached Princess Fiona’s side. And, another ‘fairy’ too.

A ‘fairy’ in the form of a little girl with petal-like pink hair approached Princess Fiona. Then, raising her head, the pink girl asked Princess Fiona.

-Are you okay?

“Yeah, it’s okay.”

Princess Fiona, who was gently stroking the hair of her pink-haired girl and brownie, let out a small sigh and looked at her door, which had swallowed her Titania. It seemed the time had come to admit it.

That child is different from the unhappy me.

Looking down at the pink girl, Princess Fiona asked her little girl. The girl, who had been looking at Princess Fiona with her blank eyes, gave a big yawn and answered.

“What is the next test subject?”

– A blonde woman hiding in a tower. I heard that her witch is preventing her from going out. Right now, I’m in the middle of a certain guy who came close to me. It will definitely make a good test subject.

“…Yes. When the delegation is over, let’s go right away.”

At the same time, Princess Fiona wiped her face. Then, the shape of her face gradually began to change. Her skin turned white like pure white snow, and her eyes, which were like obsidian, gradually turned red.

As I brushed her hair too, her light brown hair, which I mistook for blonde, grew darker and darker, turning into her ebony-dark hair. Then, Princess Fiona pulled her red ribbon from her pocket.

Princess Fiona, with her red ribbon tied up in her hair, let out a comfortable sigh and looked at the mirror hanging on the wall. Princess Fiona, who had a face identical to that of ‘Titania’, smiled brightly.

“It’s a face I don’t like every time I see it. You look so much like your mother.”
