Dressed as Snow White's Stepmother

The old king who had been holding on to his sick body fell down without warning, and Payne hurried to his bedside. The old king's face, which was still rosy yesterday, had turned deathly pale today.

Seeing that Payne had arrived, he grabbed Payne's hand: "You...here..."

Payne didn't dare to break free, so he could only quickly ask the doctor why this happened.

The doctor diagnosed him for a long time, but he could only tell Payne that the old king's condition was beyond recovery, and there was nothing he could do.

After hearing the doctor's words, the old king gasped: "Change...doctor...I can't...I can't..."

Payne quickly calmed the old king's emotions, so that he would not twitch directly when he got excited.Simply because the old king was exhausted and fell into a coma, he had time to think.

Obviously everything was normal yesterday, why did Bai Xue and the old king suddenly have an accident at the same time?He was puzzled and sat beside the old king's bed, watching no one around him simply took out the magic mirror to discuss countermeasures.

The magic mirror was also very strange. It found that the old king did not show any signs of poisoning, nor was he cursed.

Payne thought for a while, and suddenly realized that the plot of Snow White was a little strange.Many versions only mentioned that the queen died, and Snow White was hunted down by the new queen after she grew up.But the old king who was supposed to appear has never been seen, even when Snow White got married and the new queen died.

Did he actually die long ago?And when the queen asked the hunter to remove Snow White, Snow White was no longer young.During the years between the death of the old king and the growth of Snow White, the new queen must have taken control of the government and made people dare not resist.

And the sudden death of the old king is also the development of the plot. Thinking of this, Payne suddenly dripped a drop of cold sweat-does this fairy tale world only require the key plot to happen, no matter what the process is?Then after Bai Xue got married, wouldn't he end up with the old king because of the plot?

Payne tried to speak to the magic mirror, but found that he still couldn't speak a word.The magic mirror saw Payne's ugly face, and vaguely understood something. It was silent with Payne, looking at the sleeping old king.

I don't know how long it has passed, but Payne cheered up again. Anyway, even if he didn't die in the fairy tale world, he would disappear in the real world. Why don't you just enjoy the time when you can eat without being ugly.

Suddenly, the door behind him opened, which startled him, and the magic mirror in his hand fell to the ground.

Seeing that people outside the door were about to come in, Payne quickly kicked the magic mirror under the bed, and turned his head as if nothing happened.

He didn't know the person who came - he was the guard next to the old king, probably something like the head of the guard.You can always see him patrolling with a team and reporting to the old king.However, the two had never seen each other up close, and Payne wondered why he came.

When the chief guard saw Payne, his handsome face instantly turned red.He looked at Payne's dress, and lowered his head shyly.

In order to facilitate playing with Bai Xue today, Payne did not wear women's clothing, but changed into a riding outfit.I don't know if it's because in the world of western fairy tales, Payne, who originally had some oriental looks, already has a deep outline of a westerner, but with a touch of softness.Coupled with his young age, when he looked over with watery green eyes, the chief guard felt as if Cupid was singing in his ears.

The chief guard said embarrassedly that he came to report to His Majesty the King, and Payne wanted to send him away quickly so that he could retrieve the magic mirror.Unexpectedly, the old king woke up at this time. When he saw the chief guard coming, he asked Payne to go back first.

Payne had no choice but to walk out of the old king's bedroom step by step, making the old king feel that Payne was reluctant and worried about himself, and was very moved, and added a lot of women's clothing and jewelry to Payne's wardrobe.

Hurrying back to the main body of the magic mirror, Payne called out to the magic mirror, and Payne was relieved when the magic mirror appeared as usual.The magic mirror said that he was not affected, and that he could broadcast live the situation in the old king's bedroom.

"It's a bit of a waste of mana. Give me some of the potion you made to supplement the magic." The magic mirror commanded Payne, and Payne was still guilty of accidentally dropping it, so he hurriedly gave it to it.

The magic mirror got the potion, and the mirror fluctuated a bit, and there was a voice coming from it-it was the voice of the old king and the prime minister.

The old king's voice was weak: "I feel like I'm going to heaven soon..."

The prime minister said in a sad tone: "Your Majesty, please don't say that, the kingdom still needs you. Bai Xue is not yet a qualified heir, he needs a courageous and wise elder to guide him and teach him."

Hearing this, Payne couldn't help curling his lips, as far as the old king is brave and wise, he just has good parents.Seeing Payne's disdainful look, the magic mirror told him that the old king was actually very wise when he was young, but since the queen died, he has become fatuous.

The conversation between the old king and the prime minister continued, and it finally came to Payne.The prime minister said that he was afraid that Payne would be unfavorable to Bai Xue, and the old king's silence seemed to explain his attitude.

After a long time, the old king said: "You let Bussell and Percy teach Baixue so that he can grow into a qualified heir as soon as possible. As for Payne... If he has the idea of ​​betrayal, let Percy execute him .”

Hearing what the old king said, Payne broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that the old king didn't trust him at all for such a long time. Those who have been monitoring him probably didn't check whether he cheated but whether he had the idea of ​​betrayal.

The old king said a few more words, but Payne didn't listen. He was about to speak, but found that his voice was already hoarse.

The magic mirror didn't speak, and silently disconnected from the little magic mirror after the prime minister left.Payne climbed into bed and went to bed without a word all night.

When he went to visit the next day, Payne took the opportunity to steal the magic mirror.He put on the gorgeous big skirt again, put his hands in the hidden pockets, and only held the magic mirror.He didn't dare to try to show the slightest change, making the old king suspicious of him.

On the way back, Payne met Percy, the captain of the bodyguard.The always serious guard chief's eyes lit up immediately when he saw Payne, but the preoccupied Payne didn't pay attention.

"Good afternoon, Your Majesty the Queen." Percy greeted Payne with a respectful knight's salute.

"Good afternoon, Your Excellency the Chief Guard." Payne did not stop, and after a hasty greeting, he was about to go to the Magic Tower—since the old king allowed him to develop potions, he might as well seize the opportunity to find more escape routes for himself.

Seeing Payne's back going away, Percy gazed affectionately until Payne disappeared at the end of the corridor.And he turned around, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, warned himself about the etiquette of knights, and continued to inspect every corner of the palace.

The author has something to say: Calvin is gone.

And the chapter name has nothing to do with the text, it is the story of Snow White.
