I Raised Snow White!

89. Doubt

[Episode 89] – Doubt

“Whoa…”

I stood in front of the door holding a glass of drink in one hand and sighed. I couldn’t help but sigh, wondering what the hell was going on. I immediately forced a smile, remembering the nature of the great witch that Ainsel had told me about before.

‘A wild and broad grandmother… A grandmother who is worse than the Queen Mother… A nagging grandmother who interferes so much that other witches are reluctant to do so… Just hearing the story makes her like a mother-in-law in a drama.’

Feeling nervous, like a daughter-in-law meeting her mother-in-law in a drama, I slightly turned the doorknob, opened the door, and stuck my head out. The moment I wondered what kind of person the Great Witch was and tried to look at her face first –

“hehehehe… So, how old are you?”

“W-I’m thirteen…”

“hehehehe, you’re still a baby. “Baby.”

A woman with pure white hair who was sitting Titania on her lap caught my eye. She turned her head and looked inside her room to see where her grandmother was, but the only people in her room were Titania and a woman who seemed to be in her late twenties no matter how old she was.

As I was staring blankly at the situation, wondering what the hell was going on, the Ain Cell on Titania’s necklace spotted me and motioned for me to come in quickly. No way, that pervert who made Titania sit on my lap and her cheeks blush…

“Is that the Great Witch…?”

My voice came out of my mouth in embarrassment.

The moment I spoke out, the eyes of everyone in the room were focused on me. Titania’s eyes were crying as if she was begging for help, and Ainsel’s eyes were as if she was reprimanding why she had come now. And-

“Yes, you are ‘that’ Vivian.”

The great witch’s gaze changed from a perverted look to sharp in an instant and she looked at me. As the gaze from the deep blue eyes focused on me, I hiccuped involuntarily. As I watched her quietly, her great witch patted the seat next to her and called to me.

“Come and sit down, baby. “I would like to talk to you for a moment.”

When I entered the room, Titania came to me in tears and hugged me. Her neatly trimmed hair had become strands from being stroked so much by that person. Maybe I should have come a little earlier…

First, I hugged Titania, who had buried her head in my chest, and adjusted her hair, whispering in my ear in a voice so low that only Titania could hear. There was no reason for Titania to be here.

“Titania, go to the lounge at the end of the hallway on the right side of the third floor. And, wait patiently until I come to you. Got it?”

“Yes? “Suddenly…?”

Honestly, I was worried about Snow White being alone in that room. Since Snow White liked Titania, she thought that if she sent Titania there, she could keep an eye on Snow White to make sure she didn’t go anywhere.

I’m still worried, so I put some Einsel on it…

“Ainsel, you too.”

-Yes? Are you going to talk to the archwitch alone?

I nodded slightly and looked at the great witch(?) Sitting on the sofa.

Should we really say that it doesn’t look like a person? Hair as white as snow and deep blue eyes. Although she only looked like she was in her 20s, her face showed a deeper dignity than that of the Queen Mother. She looked completely incomprehensible.

I thought he was just a pervert until now.

“…Be quiet with Ainsel until I come find you. If anything happens, call me anytime through Ainsel. Got it?”

“…I understand. “Do you have to come soon?”

“Okay, I’ll go right away.”

After seeing Titania off, I turned her head again and looked at her archwitch. For now, Snow White will be held by Titania, so she doesn’t have to worry about running away. Rather, the biggest worry right now is…

The great witch sits on the sofa and looks at me intently.

I was most worried about that woman. First of all, if we were to guess why the Great Witch had come here, it was almost certain that she was looking for Snow White. Because it can’t just be a coincidence that both Snow White and her great witch are in the same place.

‘First of all, conversation comes first.’

When Titania goes out of her room, the grand witch shows a sullen expression.

I carefully dragged a chair over and sat facing the archwitch instead of sitting next to her, and glanced at the archwitch. Then, the Great Witch slightly pouted her lips and asked as if I was complaining.

“Why did she send her baby away?”

“You mean baby… she’s not your baby, she’s my daughter? That’s not it, I don’t want to teach Titania things like witches or magic. And…”

I glanced at her, rolled her eyes, glared at her great witch, and answered.

“That child doesn’t know that I’m not really ‘Vivian.’ “I sent you out in advance because I was afraid you might make a mistake.”

“…Yes, I see. You are a very cautious child. “She seems to have that much sense.”

I held out the drink in her hand to the great witch. I originally brought it to give it to Titania, but she forgot and couldn’t hand it over. I asked, looking at the grand witch who took her drink cup from me.

“So, what brought you here today? To be honest, I never thought I would meet you in my life. “I had no intention of living a life as a witch.”

From the moment I decided not to teach Titania her magic, I also stayed away from magic. I tried to keep my distance from Kirven as much as possible. When I asked, the great witch who was sipping a drink answered.

“Don’t ask so hastily. She didn’t come to see you either. Besides, you and she didn’t even introduce themselves to each other.”

“…Yeah, that’s right. I was a little in a hurry. I am-“

I sighed, calmed her mind, and began to introduce myself to the archwitch. Since she obviously knew about me, I very briefly asked her to call me Vivian.

“Then, it is time to introduce the main lady. Her real name is Morgane Le Fay. As you know, she is the head of Kirven and a witch who lives in Fairy Village.”

“Morgan…?”

“Yes, it’s okay if you call me Morgan in a friendly way.”

If you’re Morgan Le Fay, who is that Morgan? Morgan, the Witch of Avalon? I couldn’t keep my mouth shut at the sudden presence of a legendary being. Until now, most witches were those from fairy tales or novels.

So, I thought the Great Witch was also a witch that appears in novels and places, but is she really a Great Witch? I also knew the legend of King Arthur. Because it was one of the famous legends whose secondary creations are still active.

“Anyway, this meeting is just a coincidence. “The main lady is that she just came to find the culprit of the incident that involved you.”

As expected, Morgan came to look for Snow White. Although she hid it once, she became a little uneasy. Is she okay with just hiding it? Should she have been sent in her carriage even if she had just been seen? Or not…

“You seem to have a lot on your mind.”

Shocked by Morgan’s words, I raised my head and looked at him. Still expressionless and cold. For some reason, this woman’s expression was difficult to read. There was no way to know what he was thinking or feeling.

“The Great Witch, and a witch from legends, suddenly came to visit, so of course I had a lot to think about…”

“hehehehe… She’s a bit of a legendary figure… But, don’t be too nervous. I told you so. She said it was just a coincidence that she came here. First of all, there is no doubt that the main woman came to find her culprit… But she mistook the culprit for her child.”

“Is it an illusion…?”

Morgan took out a piece of paper from her pocket. When she unfolded her carefully folded paper, there was a face identical to Titania’s drawn on the parchment.

So… The legendary Great Witch came here after seeing just this montage…? When I looked at Morgan in confusion, she waved her hand and told me not to look at her like that.

“Don’t look at me with such cold eyes…! She has already been scolded by Eincel enough and has given an explanation…! “She was just mistaken for this montage and the criminal’s magic that had spread here..!”

Morgan was struggling to cool his bright red face by fanning himself with his hands. When I looked at that figure, I felt like I was worried for no reason, so I let out a sigh of relief. She felt reassured that if it was this much of a mess, she could easily send it back.

“hehehe… It reminds me of the saying that even monkeys fall from trees. “Even the great witch makes mistakes, right?”

“Well, since she’s a great witch, she makes even more mistakes. Nevertheless, I try my best to show you a good side of myself.”

“To be an example to other witches?”

“hehehehe. Yes. And-“

Morgan, who was smiling shyly, held out his hand to me. Morgan placed my hand on his outstretched hand, as if asking me to hold his hand.

Then, Morgan carefully took my hand and buried his nose in the back of my hand. Sniffing, I was startled by the act of sniffing the back of my hand and quickly tried to pull my hand away, but Morgan wouldn’t let go of my hand.

“Now, wait a minute…! “What are you doing…!”

“Baby, there is something I want to ask you.”

“Yes, yes…?”

Where on earth had the seemingly foolish appearance gone just now? Morgan buried his nose in the back of my hand, rolled his eyes and glared at me, and a bitter chill filled my eyes.

“Why does your body exude the magic power of a criminal?”

Every time Morgan spoke, cold lips brushed his fingers. The sensation I felt every time my lips brushed my finger was not a shallow sensation like a tickling sensation.

A chill spreading from your fingertips, sending goosebumps down your spine. The moment I felt that feeling, I realized that I had misjudged this person all along.

I knew clearly, but why did I misunderstand this person? Just because of looks? Because of the atmosphere? The moment a chilling sensation penetrated my skin, I knew for sure.

“It would be better to answer truthfully. “Unless you want to become an example to the criminal.”

I could clearly see that the woman in front of me was not a great witch who had lived for thousands of years in vain.

‘The lounge at the end of the hallway on the right side of the 3rd floor… Is this here?’

When Titania arrived at the place her mother had mentioned, she tilted her head in confusion for a moment and stood in front of her lounge. Why is she here, out of all the rest rooms?

The most cornered lounge with very few people around.

Titania, who didn’t even know there was a lounge like this, just tilted her head in front of the door. It didn’t matter since it was her mother’s designated lounge, but she still wondered why she had chosen this specific place.

‘In the novel, this corner lounge was used by couples to avoid the attention of others…’

Titania’s cheeks turned red as she had a strange imagination. There was absolutely no way her mother had wanted her to stay in a place like this, but she couldn’t help but feel a bit flirtatious. Because this is puberty.

-Princess?

“Ah, yes. “I’m going in now.”

Wow! Titania corrected her stern expression and carefully held the doorknob. And the moment she opened the door without thinking –

“It came sooner than expected? “What, the archwitch has already gone?”

“Huh?”

When she opened the door, Titania widened her eyes, startled by the voice she heard inside.

Her voice that came from inside her room was her own voice, but somehow it felt like it was not. She had only felt this subtle feeling once before.

Hunting competition when I was ten years old.

The woman she saw there was Princess Fiona, who had the same face as herself. When Titania saw that, she couldn’t help but know even if she didn’t want to know.

She knows that she is the ‘same’ person as herself.

I wasn’t talking about personality or growth background.

How on earth should I explain this? Titania could not properly describe this feeling, but she just felt that everything about her was exactly like her.

“You…”

“You…”

When they opened the door and met each other’s gaze, Titania and Snow White were unable to say anything to each other. Why on earth is this person here? Why on earth is this person in the place where her mother told her to wait?

The person who broke the awkward atmosphere of just staring at each other blankly was none other than Snow White. The princess sighed and looked at Titania with a bitter expression, as if she had no choice.

“…Come in now, Titania. “Don’t stand there blankly.”
