[Episode 69] – Disbelief

“What do you plan on sending Princess Titania into the fog?”

Fiona felt herself becoming emotional again.

No matter how rationally I tried to think coldly, I melted endlessly in front of that woman’s face. The anxiety, nervousness, and hatred that seemed to be boiling inside turned into heat and made my reason melt away.

But, it can’t be helped.

Sending the princess to that fog now would be no different from Vivian introducing a ‘fairy’ to Titania. Fiona frowned, looked at Vivian, and vowed:

That has to be prevented.

From Fiona’s perspective, no matter how hard she tried to look at it carefully, Vivian’s purpose could only be seen as ‘this’. The intention is to introduce the princess to a fairy and turn her into a ‘witch’ just like herself.

Really, I wanted to prevent that much.

Because being a ‘witch’ is never a good thing.

“What do you plan on sending Princess Titania into the fog?”

Princess Fiona’s worried question left me speechless for a moment and unable to say anything. It is unknown on what basis Princess Fiona reached that conclusion, but the priority now was to resolve the misunderstanding, not the misunderstanding.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Why do you think I sent the princess into that fog? “I’m sure you know what kind of fog that fog is because you’ve heard it, right?”

“…Yes, I know. I’m asking this knowingly. What do you plan on putting the princess in that fog? Why do you think that? “Yes, you would get away with doing something like that.”

“…Princess Fiona. “Did you learn nothing from the time you slapped me last time?”

When I gently raise my hand as if threatening, does he think I’m about to slap him again? Princess Fiona’s shoulders trembled. Like a child who is afraid of being scolded. Seeing that, I put my hand down again and let out a deep sigh.

“…There will never be anything you think about, so just go back to the tent. I think about this every time, but it makes me uncomfortable because you seem to see me as a person with so little common sense. “I feel bad for acting as if you are convinced that I am abusing Titania.”

Am I tired of Princess Fiona’s attitude of constantly treating me like a bad person? I ended up answering sharply without realizing it. However, if you didn’t say it this way stubbornly, Princess Fiona wouldn’t understand.

I sighed deeply again, then raised my head and looked at Princess Fiona. Wouldn’t it be okay to ask now? What on earth happened with Vivian in the past?

I asked Ainsel about Princess Fiona, but he also said he didn’t know about their relationship. Because Ainsel also didn’t know Vivian’s entire life.

The reason I couldn’t ask until now was because I was worried that Princess Fiona would be hurt if I said out of my mouth, or Vivian’s mouth, ‘I don’t remember what happened with you.’

Princess Fiona was the kind of person who would tremble whenever she saw Vivian’s face. But here, as Vivian, I ask, ‘What did I do to you? If you say, ‘I don’t remember?’, what will Princess Fiona think?

‘You did that to me and you don’t remember?! ‘Don’t you remember?!’ I could only imagine Princess Fiona rushing up and strangling me, saying, “I just kept my mouth shut until now.”

I glanced at Titania next to me, who seemed at a loss, and tapped my knee as if to tell her to come over. Then, Titania, who was looking at me and Princess Fiona alternately, hesitated and took a seat on my lap.

“under.”

Princess Fiona’s face is distorted again. That expression made me sigh as well, so I sighed softly, patted Titania on the back, and asked. In these cases, the opinions of the parties concerned are the best.

“Titania, it seems like Princess Fiona thinks I’m abusing you. Won’t you tell Princess Fiona for me? “How are you and me on a daily basis?”

“Uh, well, so…”

Titania glanced up and looked at Princess Fiona’s face. Titania immediately averted her gaze at the horribly distorted face and hesitantly answered in a low voice.

“You two, don’t fight… Uh, Mom, you’re not a bad person…? Yes, I said he was bad in the past… but he’s really not a bad person now… he’s really good to me… and…”

Titania, who had lost her temper at Princess Fiona earlier, looked like a frightened baby squirrel when she saw Princess Fiona’s distorted expression. In the end, Titania, who had been muttering in a hushed voice, had no choice but to lower her head and close her mouth.

Well… even to me, Princess Fiona’s face was extremely scary.

It was understandable that Titania was scared.

“…Anyway, as Titania said, I have never abused a child or anything like that. Rather, I am trying my best as this child’s parent. “It really won’t happen what you think.”

“…is it so?”

“I have no idea why you think I would put Titania in that fog in the first place. As you know, that fog is a fog that once you enter, you cannot escape.”

As I continued talking, I started to feel frustrated.

Even though I didn’t have much time, I was very annoyed with Princess Fiona who kept making strange excuses. I questioned Princess Fiona in a slightly sharp voice.

“Do you want to say that I am ‘throwing my daughter away in the fog’? “I, none other than myself, am abandoning my daughter, Titania?”

“My daughter…?”

Princess Fiona laughs as if she is dumbfounded by my answer.

I frowned and looked at Princess Fiona as she seemed to be losing her temper again. It was a reaction I couldn’t figure out whether he was jealous of Titania or disgusted with me.

Princess Fiona, who was mumbling something, distorted her face and looked at me with an expression that looked like she was about to cry. It looked so sad, it seemed like such a miserable expression, that I was even more speechless and couldn’t say anything.

“Dang, God… says something like that?”

In the end, a single tear quietly rolled down Princess Fiona’s cheek.

It seemed as if emotions were about to explode. Princess Fiona covered her face with both hands to hide her strangely distorted face, and managed to speak to me with trembling lips.

“I, the person who called me a trash and a maggot, says that in front of me?”

The halting speech became more and more disorganized. As she continued speaking, sobs escaped her lips. Princess Fiona’s body began to tremble like an aspen, and eventually collapsed and collapsed.

The moment I approached Princess Fiona wondering what the hell was going on –

Her brown hair, which looked like blonde in the sunlight, became increasingly dull from the ends, and before she knew it, it began to turn into black hair like the night sky. Her shoulder-length hair grew quickly and fell down to her back.

The black, tear-filled eyes also began to flutter, and then gradually began to turn red, like pomegranates. Skin as white as snow, hair like ebony. And, eyes as red as blood drops.

The figure looked so similar to someone else that I could only stare at her with my mouth agape. In a situation where everything was questionable, this much was certain.

She is not ‘Princess Fiona’.

Not Princess Fiona, but rather-

I looked at Titania, who was in my arms and had a surprised expression on her face.

Same black hair and same red eyes.

“T-Tania…?”

Let me call ‘her’ with my lips trembling. A woman who looked exactly like Titania in my arms glared at me with sage-blue eyes shedding tears. With a look that looks like it could pounce on me and kill me at any moment.

*

I didn’t want to believe it.

I didn’t want to believe it.

The fact that that woman is different from the woman I know.

I just didn’t want to believe it, so I just didn’t face reality.

I didn’t want to know.

I didn’t want to know.

Because if I admitted that she was different from the woman I knew, something inside me would break. My hatred for her was everything in ‘this’ life. Although she shouldn’t change, I could feel that I was still alive.

However, for some reason, ‘Vivian’ here was different. Instead of insulting ‘me’ here, they praised ‘me’, and instead of hitting ‘me’, they gave ‘me’ a hug. Every time I see that image, there is only one thing that comes to mind.

‘Why me?’

If you were the kind of person I could love, why were you so mean to me? It was you who insulted me instead of praising me, and slapped me instead of patting me.

‘Why only to me?’

Was there something wrong with me? Did I do something wrong? Could it be that I did something wrong that you insulted and persecuted me? So, what on earth is the difference between that kid and me?

Faced with endless questions, I had no choice but to give up. It was already in the past, and the ‘Vivian’ I knew was already dead. That too is vain and vain. Maybe that’s why it seemed more like that.

Every time I see that woman, I feel like my insides are boiling and I get angry.

A woman who looks exactly like ‘that woman’ who died before I could even resolve the hatred built up inside me. However, she is a woman who is completely different from what she does. It was difficult for me to handle the disgust that came from that sense of disconnect.

So, when I stood in front of that woman, my emotions overtook me.

Memories of the past were running rampant, and unresolved emotions were boiling over.

Even now, unable to overcome her emotions, the magic of dressing up as ‘Princess Fiona’ has been broken. I didn’t originally mean to do this. I didn’t mean to do this. I just came to keep the princess from entering the fog.

Standing in front of that woman ruined everything I had planned.

I wiped away my tears, raised my head, and looked at Vivian and Titania standing in front of me. Titania’s eyes widened as if she hadn’t yet grasped the situation, and the Mirror Fairy also blinked. Vivian, like the mirror fairy, kept her mouth shut. It seems stupid.

As I sniffled and wiped away my tears, I heard small footsteps running towards me from the forest. A small ‘dwarf’ seemed to have noticed that my magic had been lifted, and came towards me from afar.

-Owner~~!!

Before I knew it, ‘Brownie’ was running next to me, with his brown hair flying and his green eyes shining. Then he spread his arms wide to protect me, looked at Vivian, and growled.

-Don’t bother the owner!! Naughty Baba Yaga!
