“To Lord Rupert Somerset.

Sir Rupert, the second son of the Earl of Somerset, listen carefully. I had the chance to take a look at the fairy tale books you made. It was believable because it had its own charm and style.

But why… Omitted… Therefore, the ending should never be like that.

In my opinion, readers will be satisfied if the queen is punished appropriately for the crime she committed… Omitted… So what I want to convey is this.

“Iolin Bell.”

‘What is this? ‘Is this a dream?’

I knelt down to receive the letter from the princess’s chamberlain and slowly read it, but I had no sense of reality.

The chamberlain, an old man with white hair, was glaring at me as I read the letter with a sinister glow in his eyes that was befitting his age. I felt like my heart was going to burst.

How on earth did the princess ‘Iolin Belle’, known as the flower of the empire, read the children’s book I wrote and send me a letter?

‘Now that I think about it, the picture of the winner of the custom-made copy that the owner of the store gave me the other day… ‘

The ‘person’ who sent me a long letter of complaint saying he didn’t like the ending.

There was no name and only a picture, but you should have noticed it.

A noble person with black hair and dark eyes. Of course, it’s not like there aren’t families like that among other nobles, but is there a family that would make the head of the upper tier tremble and feel nervous? No, there is none.

There is only one place for that.

It is only the clan of the imperial family ‘Bell’.

Now, the puzzle of memories is being put together one by one. Is this merchant selling me out?

As much as I wanted to grab her by the collar and shake her, I had to pretend to politely receive the princess’s letter from the chamberlain.

A letter sent anonymously by a princess thrown on the desk in the drawing room suddenly appears.

‘You probably haven’t cleaned it up yet, right?’

The good news is that the princess, not the male protagonist, the third prince, was interested in my children’s book.

Anyway, the princess calmed herself down, thinking that since there wasn’t much in the original, there wouldn’t be any major problems.

“We will respond as quickly as possible.”

After politely sending away the princess’s chamberlain who handed me the letter, I immediately summoned the artisans.

The princess is dissatisfied with the ending. Because I needed a new way to satisfy Him.

“Is there no choice but to create a new one?”

Because of the imperial family’s merciless persecution, we have to make books again.

As a member of a democratic country, my blood boils. The imperial family in this feudal world really has no blood or tears.

***

In fact, few people know that the Brothers Grimm’s children’s books, including Snow White, are quite hardcore.

I, too, was shocked to learn the true endings of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales.

I thought it would be very embarrassing if children saw it, so I made a purified version that is widely known to the public.

“The seal needs to be lifted.”

Honestly, the basic framework rarely changes.

However, I left it out in the middle because I thought it was too cruel, and the queen, the stepmother, disguised herself as a peddler and strangled Snow White, or tried to poison her by gifting her with a poisoned comb…

Well, those scenes were added.

Only then will ‘that scene’ at the end be able to see great light.

“I never thought I would get a call while drinking the beer I saved.”

“It’s been a while since I had a good meal with my family… .”

“The bouquet I prepared for our date was huge.”

While I was working hard to write a new story and draw a picture, I kept hearing crying coming from somewhere.

I’m sure our artisans won’t cry if we call them back on the first day of vacation. Maybe Ada was whining.

Think about it, would the craftsmen with that stubborn and stubborn image cry because they barely had time to rest?

They said they would pay me 1.5 times the salary because it was overtime work. If it were me, I would probably shed tears of joy.

‘Ah, maybe the craftsmen are crying with joy.’

I used the sound of crying as ASMR to accelerate my drawing speed.

If one more letter comes from the princess or she comes to visit in person, the mansion will be filled with crying.

***

Iolin Bell.

The only daughter of the Imperial Emperor. The princess was known not only for her beauty but also for her wisdom from a young age, and was nicknamed the Flower of the Empire.

Because she is gentle to those under her and has the personality to laugh off her mistakes, people within the imperial family even say that she is literally the incarnation of a goddess.

However, there was something that even the princess could not overcome.

Those who believed in their own authority or power and treated others rudely were thoroughly punished, regardless of their status.

When it was discovered that Count Pryus, a former court official, was trying to pass the blame on to the imperial maids.

The story of how the princess personally came forward and pleaded with the emperor to save the maids and punished Count Pryus, forcing him to be kicked out of the position of court bag, was very famous.

“Her Royal Highness The Earl of Somerset sent me a book along with a letter.”

The princess’s chamberlain, ‘Ayton’, politely handed the letters and books he had received to the princess.

Ayton may be presumptuous, but he thought of the princess as if she were his granddaughter.

Since he had been watching the princess since she was born until now, he was confident that he knew the princess’s true self better than anyone else, even the emperor.

The princess had a gentle and gentle personality, but she always showed a cool-headed demeanor when dealing with public affairs, impressing even the chamberlain herself.

But these days, the princess often showed herself so emotionally that Aton could not believe his eyes.

Just looking at him now, he was in such a hurry to open the letters and books he had received that his usual dignity was gone.

‘This is not it! ‘How could you disappoint me?’

Suddenly, an image of the princess who had written a letter to him some time ago and told her to deliver it directly to the Earl of Somerset came to mind.

I remember that the princess’s behavior changed when she acquired an item called a ‘storybook’, which became a hot topic in social circles.

When I first handed over a children’s book called , it wasn’t the same as it is now.

‘This book might be more valuable than I thought. It would be nice for young children, especially girls, to see it.’

He calmly evaluated the value of the book and said that it would be good for education if it were distributed and read by the common people.

But even after that, he carried the book around with him and read it several more times.

‘The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Why wasn’t the final moments of my stepmother and stepsisters depicted?’

Perhaps he did not like the contents of the book, especially the ending, and suddenly expressed his anger while eating, drinking tea, or taking a walk.

Meanwhile, news spread that a new children’s book was scheduled to be published, and when I told him, he instructed me to personally obtain a custom-made copy of the book, which he said was only available for 10 copies.

Of course, I went to the place where books were sold and quietly showed him the name plate with the imperial seal.

After listening to the stories of other nobles, the owner of the merchant, who said that there was absolutely no cheating and that he would only sell books by lottery, only quietly said that he would prepare the books.

‘Are you asking for His Highness’s photo and name? ‘That might be a bit of a problem, right?’

‘hmm… Even if Her Majesty’s name is hidden, a photo must be present to create a custom copy. Otherwise, it’s no different from a hardcover book.’

Photo and name of Her Royal Highness the Princess. There was nothing I couldn’t give if I wanted to, but in accordance with His Majesty’s wishes, I decided to only hand over the photo.

Because he said he didn’t want to reveal his name.

Instead, following the order to deliver the letter, he simply handed the owner of the top an anonymous letter with His Highness’s handwriting.

Did two weeks pass like that?

On the night when I handed over the completed book I received from the owner of the upper chamber to Her Royal Highness, a childish scream escaped from the living room.

‘This guy! You ignore the advice of a reader who is true to the end! Are you planning to assassinate me by making me frustrated?!’

It is said that the maid waiting outside the residence was startled and went inside to find Her Highness shaking, holding a book.

And in a way, it was only natural that the next day I received an order to deliver the handwritten letter in question.

I couldn’t tell the contents since I didn’t dare open it, but I had a guess.

Considering the expression on his face as he read it while kneeling down to receive Her Highness’s letter, it is probably certain.

‘Rupert Somerset.’

All I know about the Earl of Somerset is that the current head of the family, the Earl of Somerset, is quite a man, and although I don’t know much, the family’s situation is a bit difficult due to an investment failure.

His eldest son has been missing since running away from home to participate in the war against the Kingdom of Silveria that took place a few years ago.

All that is said is that the second son, Rupert Somerset, is the actual successor.

There was a rumor that he was soft, but when I actually met him, he didn’t feel that way at all.

Usually, a fairly noble family would appear trembled at the mere sight of the imperial family’s chamberlain.

The man responded calmly without any significant change in expression.

However, she did not do anything that went against etiquette or etiquette, but simply accepted the letter from Her Highness that she had delivered naturally.

The only time his expression changed was when he read the contents of the letter.

Who in the world would say that a person who frowns while reading Her Highness’s Royal Highness’s letter is weak?

“That’s right! This is the story that came true. People who can do it have been giving me a hard time until now.”

Her Royal Highness was looking closely at the newly handed book, and seemed to be very satisfied with something, and she smiled instead of the sensitive reaction she had shown recently.

“Are you satisfied? Her Royal Highness.”

“That’s right. It was a great ending. The ending ends with the villainous queen dancing like crazy while wearing heated iron shoes.”

creepy

Ayton got goosebumps at the story that came out of Her Highness’s mouth.

Iron shoes heated in a fire? You put them on something like that and make them struggle until they die.

I remember that the original story of ended happily and everyone was forgiven, but did they create a new, terrible story like this?

“This is a story that turned out to be correct. I want to reward him.”

It seems that Her Highness was satisfied with what she thought was a very scary story.

Anyway, it’s a reward.

It never occurred to me that Somerset’s second son, who seemed cold-hearted, would be greedy for material things like money.

“If it were the person I saw, I think he would probably value honorable things.”

“That’s a good idea. Originally, I was going to lower the reward amount, but then ‘that’ would be fine.”

indeed. Her Royal Highness, who was not sensitive, became calm again. If it’s ‘that’, even the cold-hearted second son will probably admire it and like it.

It is an object that shows the honor of a nobleman, not a material thing like money.
