I Raised Snow White!

79. Drink in moderation

[Chapter 79] – Drink in moderation

Good luck- Good luck-

Every time I sat on the bed and shook my feet, the chains that restrained my ankles collided and made an unpleasant sound. Fortunately, the part covering the ankle was leather, so it didn’t feel too cold or painful.

I thought, staring blankly down at the chain between the leg of the bed and my ankle. ‘Ah, this must be a dream.’ Apparently, I’ve had dreams like this a few times before.

Should this be called déjà vu?

It feels like something you’ve experienced before.

I’m sure you’ll forget this dream before you even blink ten times the moment you wake up. When I woke up with my eyes open, only my heart would beat wildly, and it was clear that I would forget everything about the nightmare and not remember it.

“Have you been drinking all day again?”

Alcohol?

When I turned my head to where the voice came from, I saw Titania leaning against the door and staring at me. Hair shortened to the shoulders and a figure taller than me. It was the appearance of Titania as an adult.

“No matter how much I said you can do whatever you want ‘in this room’, it’s difficult if you just drink like this. Or, are you protesting against me in this way?”

When I lowered my head, I could see empty bottles strewn across the floor. The room hadn’t been cleaned for a long time, and empty wine bottles withered inside were rolling on the floor mixed with unopened bottles.

Perhaps the alcohol had been spilled on the floor as well, and the dried-up stains of the wine were wafting through the room with the sweet smell of alcohol. There was no ‘mirror’ in the room, so I couldn’t tell what my condition was, but it was clear that I had an unpleasant appearance.

For some reason, the me in the dream didn’t answer Titania’s words. She frowned in annoyance, and did not turn her head to look at Titania. Like a grumpy person.

“It would have been better if you would have called me rather than drinking so much alcohol alone… Alone. “

“Me? You?”

From noble mtl dot com

Ha!

I glared at Titania, bursting out laughing as if I was full of energy. Whether I do or not, Titania picks up a bottle of wine that was rolling on her floor, then raises the corner of her mouth and makes eye contact with me.

Seeing Titania’s expression, even in her dreams, made her heart thump. That child who looked at me with the corners of her eyes gently folded in a charming way was a child she could not hate.

I jerked her head again, clicked her tongue, and replied.

“Are you saying you know how to drink? What kind of alcohol does a kid who has just become an adult…”

As I spoke sarcastically in my dream, I heard a rattling sound from behind. The cork fell out of the wine bottle in Titania’s hand with a pop and fell to the floor.

Titania, who opened the wine bottle and approached me before I knew it, looked down at me without saying a word. When I looked up at her, Titania, Titania just curled up and smiled.

For a while there was an unbearable silence-

Titania brought the mouth of her wine bottle straight to her mouth, and she began to pour water into her mouth as if to drink it. Surprised by the way she kept wine in her mouth, I just stared at Titania.

Titania’s neck groaned several times with a clatter, and her wine bottle tilted more and more. The moment I was staring blankly at Titania drinking her drink-

“Eup-!!”

It happened really quickly.

Her abruptly lowered her head and coveted my lips, Titania supported my chin with both of her hands as if holding her cup. She twisted, rubbed, and mashed my lips forcefully as if to force them open.

She tried not to open her lips, but-

Titania pressed my chin to her and forced her mouth open. Between her slightly parted lips, she filled my mouth with the wine that Titania had soaked in as it flowed down.

Growl, growl.

The wine that flowed along with Titania’s breath filled her mouth and forced it down her esophagus. Like a mother bird feeding her baby birds, her mouth was instantly filled with the wine Titania handed over.

When I came to her senses and tried to spit out the remaining wine in her mouth, Titania densely poked her tongue into my mouth as if not forgiving her spitting out.

Her tongue forced to entangle in her wine-soaked mouth, she couldn’t breathe properly. The wine that flowed down her lips instantly soaked her white negligee and dyed it red.

The fiercely forceful kiss continued until I bit Titania’s lips.

At the same time as a click came out of my mouth, Titania’s lips separated from mine. I glared at Titania as if I were going to kill her, breathing heavily.

“Ha ha ha…! You really… Again…!”

Titania took a step back, grinned, licked the wine that flowed down her lips, and looked down at me. I hated Titania’s smile in her dreams.

The child who looked at me and laughed innocently when he was young, now looks at me and smiles profusely.

It was hardly a laugh for her ‘mother’. How the hell am I supposed to explain that smile?

…Yes, that smile.

“How are you? I know how to drink now, right?”

The smile that Titania smiles at me is truly a seductive smile that only her lover can show.

In a word, it was a magical laugh.

“Yeah-“

Suddenly, the moment I opened my eyes, I had a headache.

“Mu, Muul…”

It feels like my stomach is turned upside down, and it feels like someone is hitting my head hard with a hammer. Feeling like I’d get nauseous at any moment, I struggled with my hands to find water.

I couldn’t get up from the bed and only my arms were floundering in the air, when I heard a sigh from my bedside and at the same time someone put a glass of water in my palm.

“…Mother, here is the water.”

“Ugh…”

As expected, my precious and lovely daughter.

Titania kindly handed me cold water like the water of life. It wasn’t until she got up from her seat and gulped down the water Titania handed her to her that her rumbling stomach seemed to subside just a little bit.

A glass of water couldn’t cure her terrible hangover, but she let out a deep sigh and looked up at Titania with a smile. I really wanted to say thank you, but…

“Titania…?”

“…Mom, come sit down.”

Titania banged on the side of her bed and glared at me. Uh, uh…?

I swallowed dry saliva unintentionally at Titania’s cold voice and gaze, which I had never heard before. Had Titania ever given me such an expression? No, I don’t remember.

I crawled on her lap on her bed and went to the seat where Titania told me to sit and quietly knelt down on her lap. I was drunk yesterday, wondering if I had done anything wrong to her Titania, racking my brain to remember—

‘It was a big deal. I don’t remember.’

All my memories of last night had been completely erased. Yesterday, Hailey, Yvette, and I, the three of us, definitely had a memory of drinking together. It seems like we just chatted and talked a lot about today’s masquerade ball…

‘I really don’t remember…’

All I can think of is fragmentary memories, I can’t remember exactly what we talked about. I tried to think of it while wrapping my head around it, but I couldn’t think of it even if I wanted to think of it because of the pain as if a hangover had hit the back of her head.

“Mother.”

“Ugh, yes. Titania.”

Titania calls me with a frosty voice. I caught her stance and glanced at Titania at her. And soon her land was gone, and she let out a thick sigh…

“I have never interfered with my mother coming here and drinking her alcohol. She and her mother enjoyed drinking and playing with Countess Serena.”

“That, yes… Thank you…”

“But… Yesterday was so bad. Last night, in her drunken mother, she could not find any of the dignity and prestige that a queen of this country should have.”

“……”

“The saying that you become a dog when you get drunk… I never thought it would be true. Mother.”

The piercing scolding she heard from her 13-year-old daughter … It hurt more than she could have imagined, as if digging into her heart. How on earth would he have heard things like this from Titania if he hadn’t been so drunk and insane?

“…Mom, would you like to see my negligee?”

“Negligee…?”

“Doesn’t it look different than usual?”

I looked at Titania’s negligee with painful eyes. Certainly, she was wearing a different negligee than usual. It’s bigger than usual and the arm length doesn’t seem to fit…

“My mother soiled my negligee yesterday, so I had to borrow it from her viola to wear.”

“Ah…”

“And I was the one who put away the dirty negligee. Her mother has vomited in her room, and she is afraid that her mother’s dignity will be ruined if she calls her maid to clean it up!”

Pang!

Titania, who lowered the bed with her hands, glared at me vigorously. Really, she had no excuses whatsoever. She was drunk and it was not enough that her film was cut and she soiled Titania’s clothes. It’s her mom’s disqualification…

“Mi, sorry… I should have restrained myself…”

“…I know that your mother doesn’t usually drink. Unless you eat with grandma, she never eats alone. I know you’re trying not to see me drinking in front of you.”

…That was right.

In the royal castle, I tried my best not to appear drunk in front of Titania. However, should I say that the reins are loosened a little when I come here? Drinking was fun, perhaps because the fact that he wasn’t a king made the pressure a little less.

I wonder if he’s trying to relieve his accumulated stress with alcohol… Yesterday was definitely too much. I had never drank enough to break the film like this, so I thought I would be able to control myself, but it didn’t seem to be the case.

“I’m really sorry. I’ll be a little more restrained from now on…”

“A little?”

“…I will try to stop drinking.”

A little? I felt the pressure like a thousand pounds at the word, so I declared a sobriety. When I said I would quit drinking, a bright smile appeared on Titania’s face. If you were so annoyed taking care of me drunk yesterday, would you put pressure on me like this…?

Titania smiled bashfully, as if giving a satisfactory answer, and looked at me, folding my hands.

“You will be very distressed until you stop drinking, so I’ll just forbid drinking here from now on. They say alcohol is bad for your health, right? I hope her mother doesn’t lose her health because of her drinking.”

“Yeah, yeah… I promise I won’t drink here again…”

“And…”

Titania gripped my hand tightly and pursed her lips in embarrassment.

“Later, when I grow up… I want my mother to be my first drinking partner. So… Until then, you must be healthy. You know?”

Titania smiles briskly to hide her shyness. When I looked at that smile, I couldn’t help but smile. Really, I made you worry about such a sweet little girl.

“Okay, when you drink for the first time, be sure to join me.”

“Really? Is that a promise?”

“Yes, yes. At that time, I will have to ask the Minister of Education for a good drink. No matter how expensive alcohol is, the Minister of Education will surely gladly hand it over.”

I nodded, and Titania hugged me tightly. For a while, we held each other until we were out of breath, then looked at each other with wide smiles.

A grinning Titania escaped from my arms, and she jumped and lay down next to me, looking up at me.

“Now they say they are slowly preparing for the prom. Is your mother really attending?”

“…Yes, I will attend.”

I turned my head and looked at my watch.

Perhaps it was because I had woken up late, it was just before noon. The masquerade was held at night, so I thought I would have to move soon to avoid being late.

Her body and head, which were shaking from a hangover, managed to get her out of bed. I must have already been exhausted from a hangover, so I smiled and looked at Titania.

“If you don’t want to be late, let’s prepare soon. Isn’t it the masquerade you’ve been waiting for?”
