[Episode 50] – A little tea party just for princesses (3)

“Because I don’t want you to end up like me.”

Titania was unable to say anything as she looked at Princess Fiona, who was smiling bitterly. Suddenly, I wonder why this person is like this, why he hates his mother, and why he says these things to himself.

Titania couldn’t figure it out.

When I unconsciously clenched my fist, the chocolate in my hand melted and became sticky in my palm. Titania frowned because the sticky and squishy feeling was similar to Princess Fiona’s words and actions.

While I was speechless, not knowing what to say, Ainsel, who had been silent until now, burst out! He screamed and protested to Princess Fiona.

-What on earth are you saying!! As the rumor goes, it is an undeniable fact that in the old days, Vivian was a truly incorrigible person who exploited people, bullied maids, and…!

Make both fists tight! The holding Ainsel shouted at Princess Fiona.

-It’s different now! Because now Vivian is really trying to become the princess’s ‘parent’! How can a stranger who knows nothing believe only rumors and say such things to the princess…!

It was so bad that it felt like the mirror hanging around my neck was shaking. He was yelling so hard that even if I didn’t see him, I could picture him getting angry and burst into laughter.

Titania held the excited Ainsel in one hand and looked at Princess Fiona with wide eyes. Princess Fiona’s gaze is still looking at her, saying she’s really worried.

“You said you didn’t want me to end up like you…?”

“Yes, it’s obvious that being around her won’t do you any good. “Princess Snow White, I’m telling you this because I truly care about you.”

The answer comes right away as if there is no lie at all. Why can we be so sure? Titania hated the way she said it as if it was obvious that she would regret being around her mother.

Even though I didn’t know my mother, I hated how she cursed at my mother when she was a sudden guest. I wanted to coolly refute Princess Fiona’s words and never say anything again, but…

Titania, who was still ten years old, did not know how to swear at people in a cool way. Since I had never insulted someone before, I didn’t even know how to respond in a situation like this.

Titania, who had not yet entered the social world and had not yet learned how to speak politely, thought hard and thought about it, and in the end, she had no choice but to follow the ‘memories’ she had seen and grown up with rather than what she had thought.

There was no textbook other than one person around that I could learn about this from.

It was almost natural for Titania to take such action.

Titania crossed her arms, narrowed her eyes, lifted her chin, and tilted her head ever so slightly to the side. Then, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth and made an expression that seemed to be laughing at someone.

okay-

“Thank you for your concern, but your worry is unnecessary. “Princess Fiona.”

Just like when Vivian treats other nobles.

“I’m not bad as is.”

“…really? But that woman…”

Titania sat down on the chair, even crossing her legs and raising her head. Princess Fiona was slightly embarrassed and frowned at the sight of Vivian, who was in perfect condition.

As if he really didn’t want to see it.

“Please don’t call me that woman. You are now my mother and Her Majesty the Queen of this country. Or is it correct to call your parents ‘that woman’ in your country?”

-omg.

At that moment, Ainsel had no choice but to take a breath and cover his mouth. Because I knew in an instant who the princess, who was only ten years old, had learned such bad words and actions from.

-They say parents are the mirror of their children…!

Ainsel was shocked, but Titania heard the words as a compliment and snorted! and blew. Ainsel’s words were no different from saying that he behaved exactly like his mother.

‘I did it! ‘It was perfect!’

The moment Titania proudly raised her eyebrows saying that she had imitated her mother perfectly, Princess Fiona also covered her mouth and started giggling.

The laughter seemed to be laughing at her, so Titania frowned and looked at Princess Fiona, but Princess Fiona seemed to have no intention of stopping and was busy laughing, even shedding tears.

“Hehe, hehe, ha, ha…were you this bold when you were young?”

“……? yes? “What now?”

“it’s nothing. Snow White Princess. Ha… I see. I was so rude. “I am now a princess who participated as an envoy to a neighboring country.”

“…?”

Princess Fiona, who spoke as if reminding herself of her role, rubbed her face with her palm and let out a small sigh. Then, I rolled my eyes and looked at Titania, who was sitting with her legs crossed.

The image of Vivian imitating him without fail. The appearance of arrogantly looking down on people and the behavior of nodding one’s head as if ignoring people. Her behavior and behavior are more like that of a bully than a princess.

Princess Fiona, looking at that scene, let out a deep sigh. Princess Fiona shook her head as if she couldn’t understand, then forced the corners of her mouth to smile again.

“…I guess that’s all for today. Snow White Princess. “I’m sorry for being rude today.”

“It’s okay to know. “I hope something like this never happens again.”

“Hehe, aren’t you going to tell Her Majesty the Queen about today’s events?”

One of Titania’s eyebrows rose upward. Seeing how he was still treating me like a child, I thought to myself, ‘I guess I’m really going to tell my mother.’

But… if she really told her mother about today’s events as she said, she would be treated like a ‘child’ by her, so Titania decided to keep her mouth shut.

“…I’ll keep today’s incident a secret. So, don’t insult your mother again. The person who raised you and my mother are different people. Please don’t look at us the same way.”

“Someone else… yes, someone else. sorry. I guess I was a little emotional today. The tea party was fun. Let’s have a more enjoyable conversation next time.”

Titania walked out of the garden with long strides as Princess Fiona bowed her head in greeting. Just in case, I turned my head to look at Princess Fiona, and she was waving her hands.

A woman in a bad mood. And, a rude woman.

That’s what Titania thought of Princess Fiona. At the tea party today, Princess Fiona felt bad because she learned that all the smiles she had shown her mother until now were ‘fake’.

For some reason, Titania felt that she was a ‘disrespectful woman’ who hated her mother and was treating her differently, so she shuddered and started running to her room.

Then, on the other hand, I thought that Princess Fiona was a pitiful person.

If it was true that she grew up being hated and loathed by the ‘Second Queen’ as she told herself, then I could understand a little bit what she said today.

It’s a memory that’s slowly fading now, but until my mother changed, I was no different from what she said. Before I was seven, when there was no one around me.

Titania shook her head, shook off the bad thoughts and started running to her room. I wanted to meet my mother right now, but I couldn’t because she was still in a meeting.

‘When we meet in the evening, I must first say I’m sorry.’

Titania thought that if she apologized sincerely, saying that she was sorry for avoiding her and that she would not do so again in the future, her mother would also smile and accept it.

Titania couldn’t stop the corners of her mouth from rising as she thought about being held in her mother’s arms for the first time in a long time, saying that if she apologized like that, she would hug her.

Since I haven’t been with my mother for almost two months, I thought it would be nice to sleep with her for the first time in a long time. We usually slept in the same bed, but these days we’ve been a bit awkward between each other, so we’ve been sleeping in separate rooms.

Titania arrived at her room with those happy thoughts, and with Ellie’s help, she cleaned up her clothes and lay down on the bed and looked at the ceiling. Ellie said the meeting would end before dinner.

I looked at the clock and saw that there was still a lot of time left until dinner. Titania puffed out her cheeks slightly, saying that time was running out, then crawled under the blanket and chatted with Ainsel.

When Titania asked Ainsel what she should do to reconcile with her mother, when Ainsel advised her that it would be a good idea to write a letter of apology, Titania blushed and said that letters were embarrassing.

As she was spending time chatting with Ainsel, Titania closed her eyes as she suddenly felt drowsy. He even yawned loudly and looked at Ainsel with blank eyes.

“Wake me up before dinner…”

-Yes, when I wake up, I make sure to go apologize to Vivian. I haven’t been able to go to Vivian these days because I had a promise with the princess… To be honest, I’m scared of how angry Vivian will be.

“Then I’ll ask you not to scold me…”

-I really need to ask…

Titania, who could not overcome the approaching water horse and asked Ainsel to wake her up in the evening, slowly closed her eyes and took a nap under the blanket.

Quietly. Quietly.

Take a nap so deep that even if someone kidnaps you, you won’t notice.

Immediately after the tea party, Princess Fiona, who was waving to Titania as she walked away from the garden, covered her mouth with her hand and suppressed laughter.

“Wow, that’s bold. “What’s the difference?”

Seeing Titania turning her head to look at her from afar, Princess Fiona couldn’t help but smile with complex emotions.

I laughed bitterly at that bold look, and giggled at the sight of me glancing at others.

“That’s right, I wasn’t that bold.”

The answer I don’t know if it’s talking to myself or a conversation with someone. As soon as Titania disappeared from the corner of her eye, Princess Fiona, who was sitting down on a chair, raised her head and sighed.

“I just came to check on you for a moment…”

Princess Fiona sighed softly and wiped her face, saying she didn’t know what the hell was going on. Then, she crossed her legs and nodded as if imitating Titania from before.

“…Well, what good is it to imitate something like this? You shouldn’t be seen like this in social circles. yes?”

Princess Fiona uncrossed her legs, took a comfortable posture again, and looked blankly in the direction where Titania had disappeared.

“…Anyway, I still don’t understand. You know. The woman’s personality. A woman who is selfish, violent, sees people as nothing more than tools, and needs to get what she wants to relieve her anger. “There is no way that a woman like that would have even a single piece of affection in her heart.”

Princess Fiona frowned and tapped her fingers on the table, lost in thought. The moment I sighed and said I didn’t understand, a good idea occurred to me and I smiled.

“Originally, a parent’s true feelings come out in the absence of their children. it is not so? “There’s no way parents can treat their children with their true feelings in front of them, right?”

Princess Fiona gulped down the half remaining cup of tea, stood up from her chair, stretched her arms above her head, and stretched.

“So, let’s put on a play. The title is… A teenage girl’s runaway from home? Oh, am I too young to be in puberty?”

Princess Fiona smiled and gestured in the air. The gesture was similar to pretending to pat a child’s head.

“I will prepare the letter. The handwriting will be the same anyway. “Would you mind if I scribbled a little?”
