Chapter 126 Snow White’s words
The queen's lips moved slightly, but she could not speak.
But Rhine didn't need her answer.
As a wish magician, he can feel the surging power of wishes coming from the queen's soul.
The illusive voice of wish echoed in Rhine's ears, and then became more and more ethereal.
"I hope that His Majesty the King will always be obsessed with me, and that the King and the Kingdom will never be separated from me."
The wish has been fulfilled.
After listening to Rhine's words, the queen nodded in understanding.
She turned her head and looked at the birds singing on the branches outside the window, watching the wind blowing through the treetops and making the branches and leaves tremble. But because of the sound-blocking magic, I couldn't hear the crisp singing of the birds and the free rustling of the wind.
This strange scene with images but no sound is like a pantomime, giving off a sense of absurd unreality.
It's like everything that happened today was too sudden.
He woke up from the crystal coffin for no apparent reason; he was attacked by the Witch of the East for no apparent reason and almost died at her hands; he was rescued by the magician Rhine for no apparent reason; and after returning to the royal city, he saw too many strange things and was considered great by everyone. leader.
It's like a dream, not real at all.
In this brief moment, the queen even suspected that maybe she had never woken up.
Maybe she had already encountered death the moment she ate the poisoned apple, and everything she experienced today was just her last, beautiful fantasy on her deathbed.
If this is a dream, it is indeed a beautiful dream. she thought.
Rhine's voice sounded from behind, pulling the queen out of her chaotic thoughts:
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. Except for me and my friends, no one in the world knows the truth, not even the magic mirror.
"You can accept all this with peace of mind, become a great queen respected by everyone, enjoy the praise of the entire country, record your achievements in the annals of history, and still be praised and praised thousands of years later.
"Think of this experience as a gift from me.
"Don't worry, my friend who is responsible for pretending to be you has not had any close contact with His Majesty the King in the past two months."
Rhine looked at the corner of the room again, but did not hear the magic mirror that heard their conversation:
"It's just that my friends and I will eventually leave the White Kingdom. In the future, you will have to rely on yourself to govern the White Kingdom.
"Don't worry, with the magic mirror here, it is not difficult to govern the country.
"I will stay in the White Kingdom for another week or two.
"During this period, I will do a good job of handing over the work with you so that you can successfully carry out the reform of White Kingdom."
The queen nodded mechanically, her nose was slightly sore, and the world in front of her was covered with a thin layer of mist.
From a few words, she probably guessed what happened in the past two months.
"What is the name of your friend who is responsible for pretending to be me? Thank her on my behalf." The queen thought for a long time and said slowly.
"Aurora." Rhine replied.
The queen was slightly embarrassed.
Because that was the person she wanted to kill before.
Maybe Rhine and Aurora don't know that apples are poisonous? After all, they were fine after eating it themselves. He just found me unconscious and protected me, and also helped the White Kingdom?
The queen could only hope so.
"Thank you, great magician, sage of Rose Kingdom and White Kingdom, Lord Rhine!" the queen said sincerely.
She got up from the bed, left the barrier that blocked the sound, and walked towards the magical mirror that she hadn't seen for two months.
The future will depend on herself and this magic mirror...
Watching the queen leave Rhine and walk across the spacious room towards the magic mirror, the bird that was singing on the branch just now flew into the room and landed on Rhine's shoulder.
This bird transformed by Aurora and given the "power of speech" by magic said:
"I feel like the queen has really changed a lot.
"She's actually not that bad. At least she's better than I thought before."
The bird jumped on the silver-haired boy's lap again and asked Rhine:
"Speaking of which, teacher, your plan is quite thrilling! I was worried just now that the queen didn't pretend well in front of the ministers and the king, and the trap was leaked."
Rhine smiled and said: "It's okay, I have done divination and prophecy."
"But didn't the teacher say that divination and prophecy are not omnipotent, let alone believe them completely? It is impossible to see everything that happens today in advance, right? Uh, I understand, teacher, the content of your divination should be 'whether it will happen' Is there a problem with ambiguity like "Happy Ending"?
Rhine smiled and shrugged: "You guess."
At this moment, the queen stood in front of the full-length mirror, looking at her reflection in the mirror, recalling what had just happened.
She thought of her daughter's sweet smile when she called her mother, and of her cruel self when she tried to kill Aurora.
Suddenly, the queen had a sudden idea and asked the most familiar question to the magic mirror:
"Mirror, mirror, tell me, who is the most beautiful woman in the White Kingdom?" Aurora, who turned into a bird, was startled:
"Oops, why did the queen ask this question again!"
Aurora was worried that after she and her teacher left the White Kingdom, the most beautiful woman in the kingdom would be Snow White.
At that time, wouldn't the Queen's attitude towards Snow White be very embarrassing?
Unexpectedly, the magic mirror answered this time:
"Your Majesty, of course it's you! You are the most beautiful woman in the kingdom, ah no, in the world!
"I answered Aurora before, but I made a mistake."
ah?
The queen was stunned.
"Can you still make mistakes in the magic mirror?" She didn't believe it.
"Aesthetics are completely subjective." The magic mirror argued. "Look, Your Majesty, Aurora is only eleven years old, and she is still cute. There is no comparison with you who are mature, plump, and wise. Sex. It shouldn’t be compared.”
The queen scratched her head and looked confused:
"Since there is no comparison, why did you answer like that before?"
Something's not right with this magic mirror today!
Magic Mirror replied seriously:
"This has to do with this magic mirror's personal preferences and aesthetics. I prefer children!
"I have said that aesthetics is subjective. Your Majesty, Queen, you asked me before, who is more beautiful. I will definitely follow my own personal aesthetics."
The corners of the queen's mouth twitched and she looked speechless:
"After doing this for a long time, you are the one who likes children more!"
What is this?
Hearing the strange answer from the magic mirror, Aurora turned into a bird and was very surprised. She looked at Rhine with confusion.
Rhine smiled.
"I had known that the Queen might ask the Magic Mirror this question again, so I spent an evening in advance to chat with the Magic Mirror.
"After our repeated debates on subjective aesthetics and the connotation of beauty, the Magic Mirror finally recognized that its great, noble and dear master is the most beautiful - at least in the eyes of the Magic Mirror.
"From now on, even if the queen asks who is the most beautiful person in the world, she will get the same answer."
Aurora tried to imagine the scene of Rhine arguing passionately with the magic mirror at night, and found it very interesting.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a rhythmic knocking outside the door.
The queen, who had just received the compliment from the magic mirror and was in an extremely good mood, opened the door.
Standing in front of the door was the young Snow White.
Her skin is as white as snow and can be broken by a blow, and her ebony hair hangs down. She is still young but pretty, making people feel lovable.
Snow White’s jewel-like clear eyes are looking at the Queen:
"Mom, you have been busy behind closed doors for the past two months and have not seen anyone. Dad said that you have been busy with national affairs and asked me not to disturb you.
"Today I heard from Dad that you finally have time to leave the room for a walk. Is Mom finished with her work? It's great!
"Mom, be careful, don't work too hard."
After saying that, Snow White looked at the queen and showed a sweet smile.
The queen looked at her lovely daughter's innocent smile, her lips moved slightly, but she couldn't say what she wanted to say.
After a short inner struggle, the queen finally made up her mind.
She knelt down, picked up Snow White, and stroked her daughter's smooth black hair. She looked at her daughter's skin as white as snow, and couldn't help but think of the time in the past when she almost killed her daughter.
"Mom is so gentle today." Snow White hugged the queen's neck tightly, "I love my mother the most."
Rhine and Aurora looked at this scene calmly. No one said anything, but they were filled with emotion in their hearts.
They who have used the "Wrong Love" perfume know that Snow White is telling the absolute truth.
The bird Aurora turned into flapped its wings again and jumped on Rhine's shoulder:
"Teacher, you have helped another kingdom. You have fulfilled the wishes of many people."
"It has not been completely solved yet. The Witch of the East is still alive." Rhine said, "The Witch of the East is still nearby and is ready to attack us and the Queen at any time."
"Only when the threat from the Witch of the East is dealt with - whether by killing her or driving her away, will the matter in the White Kingdom come to an end. Only then can we embark on the journey to Oz with peace of mind."
"Don't forget, Oz is the home of the Witch of the East. If possible, we'd better deal with the Witch of the East here in advance, or inflict as much damage as possible to weaken her."
The bird Aurora turned into nodded:
"But at least the conflict within the White Kingdom has been resolved."
She paused and then said:
"Teacher, I have always had a question to ask you."
"Ask." Rhine said.
