I Raised Snow White!

127. Poisoned Apple (2)

[Episode 127] – Poisoned Apple (2)

Titania choked on her overwhelming emotions.

Unbelievable at the feel and warmth of her mother’s touch under her fingertips, Titania became a little bolder, almost stroking her mother’s face with her palm. Titania’s fingertips began to tremble slightly with emotion as she felt the sense of reality through her entire hand.

5 Years.

She was meeting her mother for the first time in five years.

Titania smiled and stroked Vivian’s cheek as she felt the deep sense of loss in her heart slowly being filled. Is it because it’s been a while? As she pressed her body against her mother’s and inhaled her breath, her familiar scent passed the tip of her nose.

As she breathed in the scent of her mother, whom she had longed for, Titania finally felt that she was alive. She felt like she was about to cry, feeling as if her heart, which had stopped, was starting to beat again, as if she had never lived without her mother.

‘I really, really, wanted to see you.’

Titania lay down and looked at Vivian, who had lost consciousness, and said hello to her inside. She hadn’t originally planned to do this, but she really couldn’t help it. If she doesn’t do this, her mother will run away again. This was really the best way to secure her mother.

If she releases the knights of her royal family and forcibly brings her back, her mother will get hurt, and if they spread the rumor that she is a witch, she doesn’t know what will happen to her mother from the villagers. So, Titania thought this was the only way for her mother.

“Go back now. Mother.”

Titania, as she was, put one hand on Vivian’s neck and held the other hand behind the knees of Vivian’s legs. She held her mother in her arms in the commonly known princess hug. When Titania saw her mother in her arms, she smiled as if she were the happiest in the world.

The moment I was about to go back holding Vivian-

“Now, wait, wait a minute…!”

Katarina, who was dumbfounded next to her, grabbed Titania’s ankles.

Titania glanced back and turned her head to look down at Katarina coldly. She explained it like that, but seeing a sharp look as if asking why she was interrupting, Katarina swallowed her dry saliva and continued her words.

“Uh, uh… Well, I mean…”

Katarina was shocked by this sudden situation. Vivian suddenly collapses after eating an apple. The previous customer came as if he had been waiting for this moment. Moreover, for some reason, he treats himself like a thief.

The reason she was able to come to her senses in an incomprehensible situation was because Titania called Vivian ‘mother’. Katarina had also heard stories about Titania a few times.

She said she was sorry for leaving without saying anything to the child. She says she always misses me even when she comes here. Vivian, who returned from seeing Titania last winter, cried to the point of being sick for almost a week.

Katarina had no intention of interfering with the family relationship between Titania and Vivian. Because she was in no position to intervene. As long as she kept her ‘contract’ with Vivian, she was done. But no matter how you look at this…

Katarina looked up at Titania in astonishment. When Titania tried to shake off Katarina’s hand as if she had nothing more to say, Katarina held onto Titania even more and screamed.

“Ah, even if she is my daughter, I don’t think this is right…!”

“What?”

“Hi! Well… I, I made a ‘contract’ with Vivian…! Vivian works here for me, and I, I protect Vivian…”

“Ha, protection?”

Titania burst out laughing and shook off Katarina’s hand that was holding her ankle. She then responded in a low, growling voice as she glared at Katarina, who was lying face down on the floor.

“If you really wanted to protect your mother, there would be no way she would have taken the medicine I prepared. Is not it? Why can’t I protect my mother properly? Contract? “Don’t be ridiculous.”

“Ah, that’s…! Oh, I can’t send it anyway! I can’t go…! I don’t want to use magic on people either…! So, quickly put Vivian down…! “I, too, get scared when I’m angry…?!”

“…Ha.”

Seeing Katarina whining and holding onto her ankle, Titania let out a helpless laugh. She then hugged Vivian in her arms even more tightly, and glared at Katarina as if she were going to kill her. Her heart soared and she wanted to shake it off right away, but Titania soon held back and continued.

“…My mother. She’s my mother! This is my mother who left on her own without saying a word to me!! I just came to get my mother back, so why are you bothering me…? Do you have the right to stop me?! Is it just because of that ‘contract’?!”

“Well, but… A witch must not break a contract…”

…Now that I think about it, there was a story like that.

Those were the words her mother had once said when she placed her finger and made her first promise. She says witches shouldn’t lie. I thought she must be lying, but seeing Katarina crying and holding her ankle made me think that wasn’t true. But…

“I’m sorry, but I don’t intend to keep her mother here. In the first place, the ‘contract’ with you ended when your mother took the medicine I prepared. Is not it? “You failed to ‘protect’ her mother.”

“Oh, sh*t…”

“So, let go of this right now.”

Titania rocked her ankle back and forth while being held by Katarina. However, Katarina did not let go until the end and shook her head while crying. The moment I really wondered if I should use violence-

“Well, then can’t I go with you…?”

“…What?”

Katarina looked up at Titania with a bright smile.

“I, I don’t want to go back to the days of living alone like this…! I can’t go back to those days anymore…! I don’t want to go back to the days when I lived alone in a garbage house…! I want someone to be with me… I want someone who isn’t a fairy…! If possible, I want to be with Vivian…!”

“You…”

Titania looked down in bewilderment at the sight of Katarina, who was no longer holding onto her ankles, but instead was holding her ankles and trying not to fall. Titania sighed as she saw that it looked similar to an animal called ‘koala’ that she had seen in her animal guide when she was young.

Titania was frustrated when she saw Katarina hugging her ankle, but she also felt a little relieved. That’s right, Katarina just liked her mother as someone who helped her. She did not see her mother as a woman like herself. Furthermore…

‘Because I know the pain when someone you can rely on suddenly disappears.’

But, no matter how much that may be…

-Why not just bring him? Instead, make sure you have a ‘contract’ in place.

“…Sister Veronica?”

-Even though she looks like that, she is a ‘Kirven’ witch. It will be helpful someday. Besides, I also have something I’d like to ask other witches… Instead, make sure to not be ‘bound’ by the contract. Even for me.

As Titania was wondering what to do, Veronica’s voice came from her mirror necklace. Titania let out a long sigh at Veronica’s tone as if it was okay to bring her abandoned puppy. Anyway, anyway…

“…Ha, I understand. Instead, make a ‘contract’ with me. Don’t tell ‘anyone’ what happened after you signed a contract with me. From now on, you will listen to me first. “If you sign the contract like this, you can follow along.”

It was for Veronica’s sake that Katarina was ordered to keep quiet. Titania has issued her gag order for Veronica, who is still being hunted by her archwitch, and since she has nothing else to do, she roughly makes her contract: ‘I will listen to her own words first.’ Presented.

Katarina nodded her head without any hesitation. Titania looked down at Katarina and wondered if it was really okay for her to be like this, but she said she liked Katarina herself, so what could she do? In the end she had no choice but to give up.

Besides, the important thing wasn’t Katarina.

Titania was glad if she could take her beloved mother with her. Titania looked at her mother sleeping peacefully in her arms, and with a happy smile she walked out of her shop.

“Sister, since you came on your own when you came, please open the ‘door’ when you return, as you promised.”

-…Okay. You know that when she comes back she has to get ready for her coronation right away, right?

“…I know. Thank you, Sister.”

Suddenly.

When the store door opened, I could see my room beyond.

The room where she and her mother stayed all their lives. Titania continued to occupy the room even after Vivian left. So that she can be used by her mother whenever she comes back, so that it is okay for her mother to come back at any time.

Titania walked one step at a time and returned to her own room through the ‘door’ that Veronica had given her. She then gently laid her sleeping mother down on her bed and looked down at her calmly.

As expected, her mother said it was best for her to be here. Titania smiled and stroked Vivian’s sleeping hair. She wanted to wake her mother right now, but she couldn’t do it just yet.

That’s right-

“Are you back?”

“Yes, sister.”

“Then get ready quickly. “The maids will be arriving soon to dress up for her coronation.”

Tomorrow, Titania had to attend her coronation ceremony to become her queen. The reunion after five years had to be postponed until after the coronation ceremony.

Veronica, who was looking at Vivian lying on her bed, sighed softly and asked Titania.

“…Vivian, leave it like this?”

“Ah. “My mother…”

Titania looked at Veronica with an extremely happy smile, saying she had a really good idea.

Although it was her sister’s smile that she hadn’t seen in a long time, Veronica got goosebumps for some reason. That’s right…

“There’s a room upstairs here with a view, great for watching the fireworks. “Take me there…”

Unlike his expression of being the happiest in the world.

Because the words that came out of my mouth were filled with extreme obsession.

“Tie him tightly to the chair. “So that you can enjoy the fireworks display tomorrow.”

“……Okay.”
