92. My person, mine

[Episode 92] – My person, mine

Right after Morgan left the room, I got goosebumps all over my body and couldn’t move for a while.

How on earth do they know? I hid Snow White on the third floor before I met Morgan? Were you sure from the moment you asked that my body was emanating the criminal’s magic? What would have happened if Morgan hadn’t treated me favorably?

As those thoughts lingered in my head, a bitter taste formed in my mouth. Was my bravado, in Morgan’s eyes, just a child’s play? Now I understand why Morgan called me ‘Baby~ Baby~’ instead of Vivian.

All my actions would have been nothing more than childish pranks to Morgan. Just like a child telling lies in plain sight to deceive adults, wouldn’t I have looked that way in Morgan’s eyes? Even though she looked so foolish, I thought she wasn’t a great witch for nothing.

I laughed out loud, rubbing my goosebumps on my arms. Really, the only way to express this case is that I was lucky. The reason why Morgan lets Snow White go so easily is because she can easily find her if she wants to.

‘…He’s really someone I can’t get my head around.’

Thinking like that, I quietly walked out of the lounge. I looked around to see if Morgan had really gone, but I couldn’t see him, and the ballroom was quite quiet, perhaps because the ball was over. The only sounds were the sound of people rushing out and the sound of carriages moving busily in the distance.

‘…Maybe I made you wait too long.’

Unlike the young ladies returning home after the dance, I headed further into the building. To take Titania and Snow White back to the inside of the common room on the third floor. I was worried about whether Titania and Snow White would be okay with each other, but it seemed like nothing much would happen.

That’s right, if something had happened, Ainsel would have come to tell us. If the two had fought or something, it was clear that Ainsel would have come to tell them. However, if that isn’t the case, it probably means that the two are quite close. With such a light heart, I slowly headed to the 3rd floor lounge.

The moment I opened the door to the 3rd floor lounge where Titania and Snow White were hidden, I couldn’t help but be a little embarrassed. Well, Titania was the only one in the room with her legs crossed with a sullen expression on her face.

“…? Titania? Why are you alone? “What about that princess?”

“… She said her mother would be late and she just went back.”

“…What?”

As I was left speechless out of embarrassment, Titania sighed with a pouting expression on her face. She then muttered in a low voice, ‘It’s still a long way away…’ What did the two of you talk about? I’m not sure of the exact details, but one thing is certain: Titania didn’t seem to be in a good mood.

Did you see Morgan walking past the window? Or did I really come too late and go back? Both seemed promising and my head started to hurt. So, I asked to talk to you… But you ignored that and went away, right?

‘I listened to Morgan’s boring stories for hours for someone else…!’

I felt so angry and sobbing that I let out a sigh without realizing it.

Did you really have no intention of talking to me at all? Was he just hiding here for a while to avoid Morgan? After barely holding back my anger, I sat down next to Titania and rested my head on her shoulder as if I was exhausted.

“Huh, mother?”

“Do you mind if I stay like this for a moment? “You’re so tired today.”

It was a really, really tiring day.

Because of her cross-dressing, her chest was tightly bound with bandages, making it difficult to breathe, and the wig made her head itch, so I thought she was going crazy. On top of that, she suddenly met Snow White and the Great Witch, and she felt like she had used up all the stamina she needed for almost a week in one day.

Her hair was so itchy that she took off her wig, buried her head in Titania’s shoulder and leaned against her. Titania’s upper body tilted slightly under my weight, but soon Titania straightened her back and supported my body.

After she closed her eyes for a moment, Titania asked me.

“Well, if you’re really tired… would you like me to make her a knee pillow? “There is still time…”

“Knee pillow?”

“Because my mother often did it for me… I wanted to do it for you today…”

Knee pillow… To be honest, the tired urge to lie down on the bed right away rose like a chimney. Anyway, even if I went back now, I had to remove my makeup and wash up, and I was going to be tired for another few hours. If only for a little while before that…?

“…Then, can I ask you a favor?”

“Okay, sure! “Quickly lie down here!”

I burst into laughter at the sight of Titania patting my knee, telling me to lie down quickly. Then just for a moment. Thinking of lying down for just a moment, I gently laid my head on Titania’s lap, where her legs were neatly gathered together.

I couldn’t help but laugh, thinking that this was my first time receiving a pillow from Titania. Titania is all grown up too. Now the day is coming when I get Titania her lap pillow.

“Others will be shocked when they see it. “Someone called the queen lay down on her princess’s lap and let her rest…”

“It’s just us here, so don’t worry about other people. Besides, who says what if her daughter offers her mother her lap pillow?”

It was nice to see Titania smiling beautifully down at me. Yes, people who say things like this must be strange. I closed my eyes for a moment, feeling drowsy, and surrendered myself to the comfortable feeling.

“I’ll just close my eyes for a moment, so let me know when it’s time.”

Titania was really worried that if she kept going like this, her heart would never turn around.

Even small touches like this, which I normally didn’t think about, became a big stimulus and I was really embarrassed. When her mother suddenly buried her face in her shoulder, she thought her heart would drop because she could smell her mother’s body.

‘Really… if things continue like this, it’s going to be hard to hold hands with her mother.’

Titinia sighed so softly that Vivian could not hear, then lowered her head and looked intently at Vivian’s face as she lay on her lap. Then, she gently touched the end of Vivian’s curly golden hair and smiled really happily.

Soft and fair skin, dense and plump lips, dark and clear eyes and closely embroidered eyelashes along the eyelids. It’s really pretty and very lovely. Her mother’s face, which she had always seen, looked even prettier today.

Thinking that such a beautiful person was both her mother and the person she loved made Titania feel good, as if she had filled her mouth with something sweet. But behind that sweetness, there was always a bitter taste.

Titania learned clearly today that the true nature of this bitter taste is jealousy. As much as she loved her mother, she hated that her mother cared about other people.

Even if it is the same being as you. All she wanted was for her mother to only care about her, and she always wanted those green eyes to be focused only on her.

However, Titania knew very well that there was no reason or way to force her mother to do that. That’s right-

‘My mother is mine, but she is not mine.’

If the love as a lover that my mother spoke of was really ‘a selfish desire for that person’s everything to be directed only to you’, then she was definitely loving her mother as her lover.

Titania escapes from her mother and her family (my people)

I wanted to make her mother her own lover (mine).

So she hated her mother who tried to give affection to someone other than herself, and she hated her mother who tried to care about other people. He selfishly wants his mother’s emotions, heart, and love to be directed only to him.

‘If I tell my mother this feeling, will she hate me? Or should I accept it?’

Titania, who was still thirteen years old, knew that she should not convey these feelings. She also vaguely knew that this love was a little wrong in the first place.

However, she had no intention of giving up. All she could do for now was wait. Calmly, little by little, she approached her mother with this heart and that was it. Because she had a lot of time to spend with her mother.

‘It’s not like her mother ran away.’

The next day.

After successfully(?) Completing the masquerade, Titania and I were able to return to the castle late at night.

Titania also promised me that she would never attend a masquerade ball again, so she felt fortunate that there would no longer be an event like this in Titania’s life.

‘It’s not that the social world is bad, but there is no need to go to a ball that is such a symbol of decadence.’

Titania was exhausted from her carriage journey that lasted all day. She was so tired that as soon as she arrived at the castle, she fell asleep without even eating dinner. She said she didn’t sleep well last night, so it was natural.

I looked down at Titania, who was fast asleep in my bed, and laughed at her natural laughter, and then I changed into my negligee. That was the moment when I closed my eyes next to her, Titania.

“Wow… are you really sharing the same room until this age?”

I was startled by the voice coming from the terrace, so I jumped up and looked at the place where the voice came from. I wondered if I had to wait another three years or throw a ball and trap him with food to see him again…

“…You really came to the bedroom.”

“You asked me to come visit you? Why? “Are you now ashamed of letting a stranger into your bedroom?”

When I came in, Snow White was looking at me with an evil smile, leaning against the door leading to the terrace and giggling. The words rose up in my throat as to why I went back without waiting yesterday, but I quickly swallowed them.

Then, Snow White, smiling, motioned for him to come closer to her.

“Let’s talk.” That’s why I came. But what are we talking about here…”

When Snow White opened the terrace door wide, the slightly salty scent of the sea passed her nose. ‘Smell of the sea?’ When she suddenly smelled the sea, she raised her head and looked at the terrace. It was not the terrace of the palace where I usually breathed in the breeze.

Beyond the terrace where the small table was placed, I could see the night sea with white foam rising. As if there were no boundaries between the sea and the night sea, all the stars in the sky shone with the waves as if they had fallen on the sea.

As I looked at the scenery, I saw a small hut on the beach. At the same time that I could see smoke rising from the chimney of a small cabin, I could faintly hear the sounds of children squealing.

I looked down at the cabin blankly, thinking I knew what kind of cabin it was and whose laughter it was. Then, Snow White smiled and sat down at the table first and looked at me.

“Come and sit down, Vivian.”
