124. Shine on the person I love
[Episode 124] – Please shine on the person I love.
-Wow…!
Along with Ainsel’s gasp of astonishment, the images of Katarina and Vivian reflected in the mirror also disappeared in an instant. It was because Ain Cell had cut off her connection with her physical body.
Ainsel really had no intention of showing Vivian like this. She simply intended to reflect from afar how Vivian was living. I feel sorry for Vivian, but…
‘Because the princess misses Vivian so much.’
After Vivian disappeared, Titania really misses Vivian a lot and is really suffering. So, I thought that if I showed Vivian alive, she might cheer up a little.
It was just like that…
“Ha…”
Titania’s mouth fell as she looked at Vivian’s appearance, and she soon smiled bitterly. Titania stood up from her seat with a wry smile on her face and slowly approached Aincell.
“Why? “No more illumination?”
-Well, that, that… This is…
Ain Sel rolled her eyes and avoided Titania’s gaze, not knowing what to do. As Titania approached, Ain Sel shook her head as she cried, but it was no use.
“Ainsel.”
Titania approached Aincell and firmly grabbed the frame of her mirror. As the mirror frame distorted with a creaking sound, Ainsel looked at Titania as if she was going to cry.
As Ain Sel looked at Titania, she felt like she was a different person. She cried and her body trembled, saying that she was no longer the princess she once knew. Well, it was all a first time.
The ice-cold voice calling out to her, the cold and angry expression on her face that she had never seen before, and the most stern and cold voice, these were things she felt for the first time from Titania, whom she had been with for over ten years.
“Reflect on her mother.”
-Ah, ugh…
In the end, Ain Cell lowered her head and began to glare at Vivian again. The mirror became blurred, and Vivian and Katharina appeared in the large mirror again. An image of two people hugging each other.
Titania narrowed her eyes, and she looked at the figure calmly. She sees her mother sobbing and crying in an unknown place, and an unknown woman hugging her mother and comforting her.
The unknown woman reflected in her mirror continued to tell an unknown story while stroking her mother’s head as she hugged her tightly. Truly, Titania couldn’t understand the conversation between the two people.
‘Gwae, it’s okay… I’m sure the child will understand you too…’
‘Is that so…?’
Titania swept the mirror down and smiled bitterly. Understanding? What do you understand? What on earth do you want me to understand? My mother is suffering because she left me, and she wants me to understand that?
Are you telling me to understand that you are being comforted tenderly in the arms of a woman other than me? She says it hurts to leave me and I can’t help it? So you want me to understand?
If you were going to suffer that much, you shouldn’t have left.
If you were going to be that lonely, you should have stayed by my side.
You think alone, decide alone, and leave me without saying anything, and now you want me to understand that too? What on earth are you trying to understand? You didn’t say anything to me.
It’s just a promise. It’s already been decided. I’m sorry. If you just say that and leave, how am I supposed to understand? If you left me a letter and left, did you think I would understand and say, ‘Oh, I see?’
No, you will never understand. I don’t even want to understand. If you really thought about me when you left, you shouldn’t have left like this. No, you shouldn’t have left my side. You should have stayed by my side somehow.
“…Maybe it would be good.”
Titania’s voice had a faint hint of moisture. Soon, her shoulders were shaking, her fists were clenched, and her eyes were wide open as she looked at her mother in the mirror. What on earth should I do with that person?
What on earth should I do for that person, who suffers alone because of a topic that has gone out of his way, is lonely alone, and is sad alone and is being comforted by a woman other than me?
My nails, which I had bitten hard while worrying, were half broken.
“…I guess I should bring him in first.”
Yes, I had to bring him in first. And I had to let you know. Everything you think is wrong. If you really care about me, you should stay here and support me.
This is the only place for you.
I am the only one who can comfort you.
You are the only one who can comfort me.
So, you have to stay by my side for the rest of your life.
I had to catch him, tie him up, and tell him.
If I get close to you, you run away like sand slipping through my fingers, so in order to catch you, I had no choice but to tie you up in this place that is as tight as a glass bottle. Otherwise, you’ll run away again.
You can’t do that. Absolutely not.
I may forgive you twice, but I won’t forgive you the third time.
Really, the bad thoughts couldn’t stop. I thought about letting someone go like this and kidnapping him, but it seemed like if I did that, you would run away from me again. However, there were many different ways to catch my mother.
There were more than five methods I had in mind. The worst idea of all was to announce her mother as a witch. The plan was to send a letter to the entire country informing them that ‘Vivian Liliensol’ was a witch.
Fortunately, this country still had a culture of avoiding and hating ‘witches’. There were still voices in the temple calling for the witch to be found and captured.
It was clear that my mother, who was declared a witch, would be caught quickly. All she had to do was bring her captured mother, who had been betrayed by others she trusted, to the royal castle, pretend that she had been executed, and secretly hide her in her room.
Then my mother won’t be able to go anywhere.
Socially, it is as if he has already been killed. You will live your whole life protected by my side. Just imagining it made me feel like the sweetness of being able to spend the rest of my life with the person I love was lingering in my mouth.
But…
‘…Then, because my mother is sad.’
Then her mother will be sad and suffer.
I didn’t want to see my mother suffering.
Titania put aside her bad thoughts and let out a small sigh. She was having these bad thoughts because her mother kept running away. Doesn’t that mean he’s that earnest?
I wanted to see my mother, meet her, love her, and if I couldn’t do that, I wanted to make it impossible for her to live without me.
Titania swept the mirror that reflected the crying Vivian and smiled.
‘So… I’ll just tie it up.’
Don’t let them run away from my side.

Knock knock-
At the sound of a knock on her door, Titania turned her head and looked towards where the sound came from.
“Princess. This is Bang Show. “Do you mind if I come in?”
“Come in.”
After Titania gave permission, her door opened and Vinchot walked into her room with a dark expression. Then she slowly approached Titania and spoke while looking at the open wounds on both of her knees.
“…Does your wound not hurt?”
“Not really.”
From noble mtl dot com
Titania answered calmly, bending her injured knee and bending over and over again. It wasn’t that she wasn’t in pain, but compared to the hurt her mother had inflicted on her, this pain was nothing.
Vinchot knelt down and looked at Titania’s wounds.
The maids treated him properly, so his knee, which was covered with bandages, looked fine on the outside. According to the words of the maid who treated her, if she continued treatment like this, she would not have any scars.
“So? Why did you come?”
“I heard the princess was hurt a lot….”
“…It’s no big deal.”
Banchot made a bitter expression at Titania’s cold tone. It has been about eight months since Titania graduated from the Academy and arrived at her royal castle.
When Titania arrived, the season that was her spring had suddenly turned into summer and fall, and then winter before turning into spring again. Cold late winter with her blizzards pouring down.
It was clear that spring would come soon, but for some reason, Vinchot felt that this winter would continue forever. To that extent, Titania’s attitude felt too cold to her.
Titania let out a small sigh and turned her head to sit at her dressing table and look at her mirror. She then brushed her hair, which fell down to her waist, and asked Vinchot.
“Bang show. “How long until my coronation?”
“Yes? Ah… It’s fall next year… Less than a year left. But the other nobles said let’s move it forward to next spring-“
“The coronation ceremony will not be brought forward. “Tell the other ministers that we will proceed next fall as decided.”
“But…”
The moment Vinchot was about to continue speaking, Titania’s gaze reflected in the mirror left him unable to say anything. Bang Chau sighed and nodded, thinking that if he said any more, the princess would not listen.
“…Yes, I will convey that to other ministers.”
“Yes.”
Titania looked at her reflection in her mirror and held her long hair together, watching the ends touch her back.
Every morning, the first thing she did when she woke up was her long hair that her mother had styled for her. She had hair as black as ebony, which her mother always said was as pretty as silk.
So happy was her morning with her mother that Titania took time to straighten her hair every day. She tried to keep her hair from getting damaged when she went to the academy.
Because she wanted to be praised by her mother every morning. It was her hair that she had been growing out in hopes of prolonging the time her mother would spend on me.
But…
“…Because there is no one to praise me anymore.”
“Yes?”
Titania took her scissors from her drawer and cut off all of her hair. Her cut black hair fell to the bottom of the rainforest.
“Princess Titania…?! What is this now…!!”
Vinchot was shocked behind her, but Titania didn’t care. Titania, who was looking at her own hair, which had quickly grown to shoulder-length, strengthened her resolve as she looked at her.
Her determination to bring her mother here until her coronation. She was determined that if she ran away again this time, she would be brought back by force even if she had to be a bad daughter.
She made up her mind for the last year.
