Dressed as Snow White's Stepmother

The horseshoe clattered, and Payne ran back and forth between the forest and the palace for many nights.

He hit it off with the fool, and used the dwarf's forging and his own magic to refine meteorite.

After Payne had his own secret code, Percy began to let Payne go to the palace by himself from time to time.

Percy explained that it would be convenient for Penn to go out of the palace at night, and it would also reassure Busell of their suspicions.

"It wasn't the beast that got rid of last time, but Busell's spies." Percy also investigated a little out of vigilance, but he didn't expect to find out that it was the footprints of a beast but the exclusive horseshoe prints of Busell's subordinates.

It turned out that Bussell's vigilance was so high that Payne also began to be afraid.If the old prime minister finds out about this hole card, Bai Xue may be in a bad mood, and one of herself and Percy may get sick and the other will disappear.

After splitting up, Busell also received news from his subordinates.It was said that Percy had already started patrolling at night, but Her Royal Highness was always in the magic room or her own bedroom.

Originally, he wanted to find evidence of Penn and Percy's affair as a threat, but he didn't expect Percy to be so careful.

Bussell had no choice but to ask his subordinates to give up the investigation. Thinking of Payne's delicate face, he still believed that he would one day be the lover of Her Highness the Queen.

It was only later that Payne knew Busell's true purpose at that time, and he hated the night when he trembled through the forest alone without Percy's company.

At this time, Payne was obsessed with alchemy and couldn't extricate himself. He asked the magic mirror to check the relevant information, and he also recalled the only alchemy-related information he had read-"Fullmetal Magician".

However, after many years, the only thing he remembers besides Edward's super cool prosthetic limb is the brother orthopedic colleagues who eat.Alas, the post bar hurt me!

Payne's chemistry was very rubbish, and his motivation for learning potions was to save his life.

And things like magic, which kid who has watched Harry Potter didn't expect an owl to bring him a letter from Hogwarts?

In order not to get in touch with Buser, Payne catches up on sleep when Bai Xue and Buser are learning martial arts in the palace.After Bai Xue fell asleep, Payne either made potions or went to find the dwarves.

Soon, the happy summer life is over.When the first wild goose flew over the sky of the palace, the old prime minister sent someone to remind Payne that it was time to go back to the palace.

Even though Payne was very reluctant, he had no choice but to say goodbye to the foolish and angry dwarves. By the way, he refused the invitation to get drunk all night, and then boarded the carriage back to the palace.

Sometimes things are just weird, always there when you don't use them, and disappear when you need them.That's what happened to Payne.

He remembered that he had a hole in his night clothes and needed to mend it secretly, but he couldn't find it.He and the magic mirror rummaged through boxes and cabinets for a long time, looking at each other.

Magic mirror: "Forget it, don't look for it, it will come out when you don't look for it."

Payne, who was so irritable looking for something, also agreed with this statement. He couldn't remember where he put the night clothes: "That's right, let's talk about it later."

One person looked at each other and smiled, showing a tacit smile.

After returning to the palace, you can spend as much time as you want in the magic tower and do experiments. It’s a wonderful day to not have to face Busell and not have to be bald every day trying to refine meteorite hahaha.

And the maids who returned to the palace told their companions in the palace a strange thing. A maid was very unlucky not long after she arrived in the palace.When the water from the well is brought up, the bucket will rot.And when I go to pick flowers, I will be chased by bees. All in all, I am so unlucky that I can't be more unlucky.

Fortunately, this situation disappeared after a few days. According to the maid in question, in addition to doing some ordinary work that day, she only helped the laundry maid to wash the queen's handkerchief and gloves.

Could it be that I was punished by the gods when I occasionally secretly ate leftover desserts? Although the unlucky maid thought so in her heart, she still pushed the matter to Payne.

Oh my god, is it bad luck for a few days just to help wash the clothes of Her Majesty the Queen?The maids were terrified when they remembered the rumors that the queen was a witch who studied black magic, not only seduced the king, but also used black magic to kill him.

One of them quietly told the head maid, Marjorie, but was severely reprimanded.Said that it is absolutely impossible to allow the existence of black magic in the palace, which calmed the panic of the maids.

Although she reassured the maids, Marjorie became suspicious of Payne.Did Her Royal Highness really start to study black magic?I thought of the old king's godmother who was a witch who specialized in black magic, and finally summoned the monsters that caused the disaster in the palace many years ago.

That monster incident buried fear in the hearts of everyone who faced it at that time.Marjorie thought that she had to remind Payne not to be fooled by what the witch left behind, and not to go astray.

Thinking of this, Marjorie decided to secretly observe Payne's actions.If Her Royal Highness is really unfortunately tempted by the monster in the dark, even if I sacrifice my life, I will destroy him——Yes, Marjorie is one of the few people who knows the identity of Payne, but as a servant, she Nor can it be preached to the behavior of the old king.

But she was worried that her own strength could not compete with Payne, so she found Percy and explained her purpose.

Facing the worried headmaid, Percy said, "...Okay, I will assist you in secret." Then he turned around and told Payne to be careful at night.

Knowing Marjorie's concern, Payne said, "...Oh shit." Then he accused the magic mirror, "You didn't even remind me that I forgot to take the gloves out of my pocket."

The magic mirror was also very unconvinced: "I am not the one who is happy after taking the medicine. It seems that you have not been happy."

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Percy tried to persuade them a little helplessly: "The matter has come to this, we can only find a way to get away with it first, and let Marjorie, the chief maid, be calmed down first."

Payne nodded. After all, there are some invisible potions in the magic tower, as well as the perfume he secretly made.No matter which one is discovered, it will be fatal, and it is simply a dilemma.

Originally, he wanted to clean up in the afternoon, but Marjorie said that Snow White missed him very much.After returning from the palace, Payne didn't have time to see Baixue, so Payne had to watch Baixue practice sword all afternoon.

During the intermission, Payne quietly asked Bai Xue if he really missed himself, and Bai Xue nodded: "Bai Xue misses her mother every day."

Payne: Suddenly there was a tinge of guilt.

Guilt is guilt, but the guy who eats by himself still has to be collected.

After dinner, he pretended to be unwell and hid in his room to rest.Then Marjorie watched him go back to the house and sneaked to the magic tower.

As soon as Payne returned to the house, he immediately changed into a second set of night clothes, quickly slipped into the garden, and took a shortcut.

And because Marjorie doesn't have the key to the Magic Tower, she needs to go to Percy first. Percy told Payne the earliest time for Marjorie to leave, and when he saw that he had already entered the Magic Tower, he pressed X to patrol. The route acted.

After Payne slipped in, he hid all the magic books on the table and on the shelves and the notes he made, as well as the potion materials he collected from various corners and the notes left by the witch. in a box.

Finally, put the made medicine and perfume into a large wooden box, and put a blanket on the box and put some bottles and jars, disguised as a big table.The legs of the table are made of various magic books, and it is impossible to tell that this is a fake table under the dim light.

After finishing all this, Payne placed a small mirror on the top of the cabinet as a monitor, and slipped away quietly.And he didn't meet any patrolling soldiers along the way.It should be that Percy changed the time a little bit, deliberately avoiding Payne, and even if Marjorie asked later, she could evade and say that she had to give her the key to change the time.

After arriving safely, Payne took off his night clothes and stuffed them into the vase next to the window.

Huh?Why do you say "again"?

Looking at the vase, Payne and the magic mirror fell into contemplation, and they remembered where the suit went.

But they didn't say anything tacitly, pretending that nothing happened, Payne took out his clothes and stuffed them into the dark compartment under the bed.

The magic mirror silently began to play the scene in the magic tower—after Marjorie entered, she didn't turn on the lamp, and only relied on the faint moonlight to search for it.

Marjorie seemed to dispel her suspicions after reading some notes and the useless magic book left behind by Payne.She looked at the bottles and jars next to her again, and took out a wooden stick that looked like a magic wand from her pocket.

Payne panicked: "What is that?"

The magic mirror didn't know either: "I don't know, I've never heard of her being able to do magic."

Payne looked at the stick in her hand with horror.Marjorie swiped across the shelves and tables with her wand. This wand was left by the fairy who helped exterminate monsters at that time. As long as there is black magic or the breath of monsters, the wand will emit white light.

The magic mirror also recognized the true function of the wand, and comforted Penn that what he was studying would not be detected.

As a result, the tip of the magic wand began to glow before the magic mirror finished speaking.

Magic Mirror: Sudden embarrassment and ruin.

But the strange thing is that Marjorie didn't do anything, but continued to hold her wand in a nonchalant way.

Payne:? ? ?why.He asked the magic mirror if he could listen to the sound. The magic mirror was a little confused, saying that it would consume a lot of magic power, but he might not be able to hear it.

But the magic mirror, which is about their safety, can only do its best, and the voice came from the body of the magic mirror: "I can't imagine that after so many years, there are still magic power left."

Hearing this, Payne and the magic mirror breathed a sigh of relief—the suspicion was cleared.

Seeing that Marjorie was about to leave, Payne asked the magic mirror to stop the sound transmission, and just watched her leave.

Unexpectedly, after Marjorie walked to the door, she fumbled a few times on the wall and pressed a brick.Then a small opening was suddenly opened in the wall, she reached in and pulled, and a hidden door suddenly appeared from a corner.

Payne who saw it all: ? ? ?What a bang.

Marjorie didn't enter the secret door, but used her wand to test it at the door, and the wand's brightness instantly brightened a lot—the source of the black magic aura in the magic tower seemed to be here.

Seeing this scene, Marjorie sighed, shook her head, put away her wand and walked away.

And Payne and the magic mirror were also lost in thought—what is behind that door?What happened to the monster disaster in the palace before?
