I Raised Snow White!

[Episode 54] – A runaway commotion that is not a runaway (4)

“Hmm?”

Titania opened her eyes and stared blankly at her ceiling. A place full of cobwebs all over the ceiling and piled up with dust. As Titania rummaged through her hazy memories, she remembered why she was here.

“Huh?”

No matter how much she tried to remember, she couldn’t remember why she was here. As Titania rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked around her, this place appeared to be a warehouse-like room in the royal palace.

She thought it was strange and tried to wake her up by slapping the ainsel hanging on her neck. Why the hell was she sleeping here?

‘I’m sure he was sleeping in my room…’

Titania tilted her head, brushed the dust off her buttocks, stood up, opened the shed door, and headed outside. It must have been afternoon when she fell asleep, but the outside of the window was black before she knew it.

Not knowing whether it was night or dawn, Titania felt the need to return to her room and started running down her hallway at her gallop. Let’s walk towards that crowded hallway.

From the back of the hallway, I could hear the maids humming. It was the first time that the corridor was noisy at such a dark time, so Titania naturally headed for the sound.

“What are you all doing here-“

Silence fell in the hallway the moment Titania and her maids met eyes as they moved to the source of the sound without any doubt. No, should I call this static? Surprise, bewilderment, bewilderment, etc-

The maids were speechless due to various emotions, and the silence was broken only after one of the maids who had been covering her mouth burst into tears, and the maids screamed. A voice mixed with bewilderment.

“Princess! Where the hell were you until now…!”

“Uh, huh…? The warehouse over there…?”

“What on earth were you thinking when you left that note?! How great is Her Highness the Queen…!”

“Wow, a note…?”

Titania could not give a proper answer to the stormy questions. She wondered where she had been surrounded by the maids. While she was talking, she heard someone running at the end of the hallway.

“Your Highness the Queen, here…!”

One of the maids had gone to call Vivien before she knew it, and she was busy catching her breath as the maid who had run up with Vivien became rough. All the maids who had been questioning Titania like a quick-fire gun had no choice but to shut up at the appearance of Vivian.

That’s right, I saw Vivian’s face. Eyes reddened from crying, eyes sharpened as if they would rip people apart at any moment. An angry, frowning expression.

“Hibb.”

Titania giggled and swallowed a hiccup at the gaze that looked at her as if she was about to burst out at any moment. I had never seen a mother with such a scary face before.

She didn’t know what the maids were saying, and she didn’t even know why she was sleeping in a storage room like that, but Titania knew instinctively.

“You are…!!!”

“Uh, Mom…?”

Once you know you’ve done something wrong.

Otherwise, there’s no way my mother would be so angry. Thud. Thud. Vivian’s steps grew faster. The sound of footsteps grew louder and louder, and now anyone who hears them can say, “I am angry.”

Titania closed her eyes tightly at the sight of Vivian approaching her. She shuddered at the thought that a thunderclap would come any moment, but—

“…Are you feeling a little better now? You are finally showing me your face.”

What I heard was the sound of crying.

The wet voice was full of water, so it felt like crying even though I wasn’t shedding tears. That feeling was conveyed to Titania as she looked at Vivian’s bitterly smiling face.

Vivian smiled and stroked Titania’s cheek. Feeling the warmth of Vivian’s hand touching her face, Titania trembled her shoulders.

“Did you hate me enough to leave such a letter…?”

Vivian crouched down to meet her gaze and hugged Titania. Then she let out a hot sigh, swallowing the tears that were about to explode.

Titania was unable to say anything at Vivian’s emotions that were conveyed intact through the flesh they touched. It’s just that I’m sorry for avoiding her mother and I’m sorry again.

“I’m sorry…”

She buried her face in Vivian’s shoulder and wept. She tried to calm down and hold it in, but the tears that burst once did not stop easily. She wiped and wiped and she wiped her cheeks with new tears that overflowed.

Titania, clutching at Vivian’s clothes, couldn’t help but burst into tears as she couldn’t control her emotions. Vivian let out a small sigh at the sight of her, and slowly picked up Titania and held her in her arms.

I felt the nape of her neck moisten with her tears thanks to Titania burying my face in her shoulder as I hugged her by the neck. Vivian patted Titania on the back and smiled at her maids standing next to her.

“Let everyone know, we found the princess. Everyone has worked hard, so please tell them to rest well.”

“Yes, Her Highness the Queen.”

With Titania in her arms, Vivian quietly headed to her room. Looking at Titania, who was still weeping, Vivian smiled.

When she found Titania, Vivian was overcome with a feeling of anger. He left a note telling me not to look for him and disappeared, angry at the fact that he only showed up now…

Fortunately, looking at Titania, who was found unscathed, that feeling faded away. The only emotions left like that are the feelings of happiness and the feelings of crying for no reason.

‘Seriously, they say that no parent wins over their child… That’s right.’

Vivian patted the back of the sobbing Titania and let out a small sigh. Just thanking Titania for being found without incident, Vivian gently gave her strength and hugged Titania in her arms.

“Let’s sleep together today. There must be a lot of words accumulated in two months.”

The princess, whose eyes were red from crying, looked at me and shouted, puffing out her cheeks. He said he couldn’t believe it, and even patted my chest with both fists.

“I didn’t really write that note?!”

“Yes, yes. Let’s do something like that.”

“Profit!!”

At the sight of the princess bickering in my arms again, I giggled. Yeah, it must be because I’m ashamed. I even wrote that note and found it less than a day later, so I wouldn’t be ashamed.

“Yes, this mother knows everything~ So keep going. It’s already past dawn, isn’t it?”

“Really… I didn’t write it…”

Poke the cheeks of the princess who puffed up her cheeks and urged her to sleep, and the princess puffed out her cheeks even more. Seeing that, I stretched out my arm, and the princess naturally laid down on my arm.

Then he hugged me with both hands and buried his face in my chest. It meant that he didn’t want to see my face. When I patted the princess on the back, the princess lifted her head and looked at me.

From noble mtl dot com

With very bright and clear eyes.

“…Can’t you sleep?”

The princess smiled broadly and nodded her head. The moment I close my eyes, I’m so tired that I’m about to fall asleep… This tomboy princess looked at me, saying she couldn’t sleep because she was sleeping in the storage room where she was hiding.

I glanced at Ainsel hanging on the wall with tired eyes. I was thinking of leaving this energetic princess to Ainsel, but… As soon as she saw Ainsel, who was soundly asleep and even making a long sound, she became angry.

That damn mirror.

Someday I’ll have to give it a real kick.

As I patted the princess on the back to please sleep, I looked down at her. The princess looked at me with sparkling eyes, as if she had no intention of falling asleep, and seemed to be asking me for something.

“If it’s a fairy tale, you’re past the age to read it…”

“A fairy tale made by my mother is always fun to listen to.”

Is it wrong to tell you the many fairy tales I have known since I was young? From the time I started sleeping with the princess, I told her many fairy tales that I remembered.

From Cinderella to Folk Fairy Tale, I Have Nothing More to Read. There weren’t any fairy tales like this here, so I lied and said I made them up…

Now all the fairy tales I remembered were told, so there were no more fairy tales to tell the princess. After letting out a small sigh, I lowered my head and looked at the princess.

I kissed the princess’ forehead lightly, and slowly began to read a fairy tale that came to my mind. It’s a fairy tale that I’ve heard countless times since Cinderella, but the princess listened and focused on my story.

“Once upon a time, in a certain country-“

When I saw the princess listening to my story, I burst into laughter. Saying that it’s a relief that it’s back like the old days, I gently patted the princess on the back and continued the story.

In the end, the morning of the day the envoys from the Silver Ward Kingdom were to leave had dawned. What the hell was Princess Fiona then? What happened to Vivian before?

…No matter how much I thought about it, there was nothing I could know. It was just that there was no particular reason why I only slapped Princess Fiona on the cheek.

It was as if he was cursing at me, for some reason it looked like he was desperately pleading for something. Seeing her swearing at me so desperately, I couldn’t blame her any more.

Thinking that she must have had something to do with Vivian… She didn’t even want to get angry anymore.

An event to see off the delegation. As the ministers talked with the envoys, Princess Fiona looked at me and smiled her eyes.

I told you never to see me again, but the last minute you leave will be fine. I also saw off Princess Fiona with a smile.

There was no greeting to see each other off.

Princess Fiona quietly and silently boarded her carriage to the Silver Ward Kingdom and left. As if he would keep his word never to be seen again.

The princess, who was staring blankly while holding my hand, asked the foreign minister standing next to her.

“What kind of person is the second queen of Silverward Kingdom?”

At the sudden question of the princess, the Foreign Minister widened his eyes, let out a small drool and laughed.

“Heh heh, it seems the princess got it wrong. There is no second queen in the Silver Ward kingdom.”

“Huh? But obviously Princess Fiona…”

“The king and queen over there are so good at gold that they have about five successors. Even the servants over there are unable to speak to the king about the second wife.”

“Huh?”

As if not understanding, the princess tilted her head and put her question mark on her head. I also suddenly wanted to say something, so I smiled and picked up the princess and hugged her and headed for the royal castle.

“Let’s go in now. Now that the big thing is over… Shouldn’t we prepare for the fall?”

“Autumn?”

“I see. It’s time for the princess to debut soon.”

The princess tilted her head when she said it was autumn. The Minister of Foreign Affairs said that the time had finally come and looked at the princess with a big smile, but the princess still didn’t seem to know what he was talking about.

I looked at the princess and smiled and answered. Now that the princess has turned 10 years old, it is time for her to meet other young noble ladies.

It was to the point where invitations to invite the princess to their party were pouring in already. It seemed that the time had come.

“Debut in the kids’ social scene in the fall.”
