Chapter 105 Magic Mirror: Aurora is the most beautiful
People say that the queen of the White Kingdom, Snow White's stepmother, is very beautiful, but she is very proud and conceited, and has a strong jealousy. She can't stand hearing that someone is prettier than her.
What outsiders don't know is that behind this terrible jealousy, there is a big secret: the queen is also a terrible witch who masters some evil black magic. She used magic to charm the king of the White Kingdom, making the king addicted to her beauty and obey her orders. No matter how excessive the queen's request is, the king will obey!
However, the queen was most worried that one day the king would see someone prettier than her and decide that she was not the most beautiful person, and would not be deceived by her. That would be terrible!
As a witch, the queen had a magic mirror. She often walked in front of the mirror to admire herself and asked the mirror: "Mirror, mirror, tell me, who is the most beautiful person in the world?"
Looking at the face appearing in the magic mirror, the queen fell into deep thought.
She rephrased the question:
“Who is the most beautiful woman in the world?”
The magic mirror answered again, someone the queen didn't know.
This time it was a woman. A princess from a kingdom the queen didn't know, a princess she had never heard of.
The queen fell into deeper thought.
She reflected on her own problem:
“Well, this world is too big, and this continent is too vast.
"'Handsome princes' and 'beautiful princesses' are everywhere, too numerous to count. There are always many princesses I don't know who are prettier than me! "How about setting a lower goal?"
The queen revised the question again: "Mirror, mirror, tell me, who is the most beautiful woman in the Western Continent?"
"I still don't know. Change it again."
"Mirror, mirror, tell me, who is the most beautiful woman in the White Kingdom and the surrounding areas?"
"Uh... let's change it again."
"Mirror, mirror, tell me, who is the most beautiful woman in the White Kingdom?"
This time, the magic mirror finally gave a suitable answer:
"Of course it's you, my queen!"
The queen laughed heartily, quite satisfied: "I knew I was the prettiest. Look at my big watery eyes and rosy lips, who can compare to me!"
She covered her mouth with the back of her hand to prevent herself from looking too smug.
For many years afterwards, the queen asked this question every day, and the answer given by the magic mirror never changed.
Every time the queen heard the magic mirror's compliments, she would smile with satisfaction.
Later, an organization called "Witch Society" found the queen and invited her to join. Almost all the characters in it were extremely powerful witches.
The queen was not interested in magical exchanges, nor did she have outstanding magical talents like most witches in the organization. But she needed a potion that could keep her youthful appearance, so she agreed to join.
However, the queen rarely participates in the witches' daily interactions, and only occasionally uses the magic mirror to answer questions in exchange for a bottle of youth potion.
The days passed one by one.
The queen discovered that Snow White was becoming more beautiful day by day!
As Snow White grew older, she became more and more beautiful. Her skin was as white as snow, as rosy as blood, and her hair was as black as ebony.
"What if one day my daughter becomes prettier than me?"
With such tension and worry, the queen still asked the magic mirror once a day. Only after she heard the magic mirror say "The most beautiful woman in the White Kingdom is of course you, the Queen" did she feel relieved.
But even so, when the queen got up the next day, she became worried again and asked the magic mirror nervously, fearing that the magic mirror would suddenly tell her:
"Queen, you are indeed very beautiful, but your daughter Snow White is 1,000 times more beautiful than you!"
Finally one day, what the queen worried about happened!
She asked the magic mirror again as usual.
"Who is the most beautiful woman in the White Kingdom?"
However, this time the magic mirror hesitated for a long time and became hesitant.
"Tell me quickly, magic mirror!" urged the queen.
The magic mirror trembled and said, "My dear queen, please promise first that after I tell the truth, you will not break me, throw me off the building, or do other extreme things."
"I agree to your request!"
The queen agreed immediately and she couldn't wait to hear the answer.
"It's over. Is this day finally coming? What if my daughter is really more beautiful than me? What should I do?"
Countless thoughts gathered in the queen's mind, and an evil idea precipitated.
The magic mirror heaved a sigh of relief and gave a solemn answer:
"You are indeed very beautiful, Queen. But there is a beautiful little princess who is a thousand times more beautiful than you!"
The queen held her breath.
Sure enough, it was true! "The most beautiful woman in the White Kingdom is undoubtedly Aurora!" The magic mirror finally gave the answer.
"I knew it!"
The queen yelled and walked out of the room angrily.
"I'm sorry, my daughter Snow White. I can't tolerate you being more beautiful than me. I must kill you quietly!"
Just after taking two steps out of the door, the queen discovered something was wrong.
"Wait, did I do something wrong?"
The queen ran back to the room and asked the magic mirror:
"You said that the most beautiful person in the kingdom is called...what?"
"Aurora."
The magic mirror answered and displayed a dynamic image:
That was Aurora riding a white horse and traveling through the emerald green forest with Rhine.
The little girl has blonde hair and blue eyes, and is beautiful and charming, as if she has an extraordinary temperament that captivates people.
The queen was silent.
"No. Who are you?"
"I don't even know you!"
At this time, the queen felt relieved a little: "It's not bad. I thought the most beautiful girl in the kingdom would be my daughter Snow White. It would be a bit difficult if people knew that I killed my daughter. Now, the one who is more beautiful than me is a stranger, so it's not bad."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The queen looked at the two children riding white horses through the forest in the magic mirror and roughly judged: "From the direction they are going, it won't be long before the two children arrive near the palace.
"If the king sees Aurora and finds out that there is someone more beautiful than me in the White Kingdom, that would be bad. My enchantment might fail! " "No, this girl named Aurora must be killed!"
The queen hardened her heart and secretly called a strong hunter.
She had already prepared for the day when Snow White would be more beautiful than herself, and this hunter was the killer she had prepared in advance! "I command you to kill Aurora! After you succeed, I will give you a lot of gold and silver as a reward." The queen ordered.
"No problem, Your Majesty, I promise to complete the task!"
The hunter stood up straight and nodded vigorously.
The hunter had heard that the queen was jealous of Snow White's beauty and might hire someone to kill her daughter at any time, so she had been contacting him secretly.
So that one day, he, the hunter, can use him as a black glove to secretly assassinate Snow White!
Therefore, ever since the queen first contacted him secretly a few years ago, the hunter had prepared himself mentally for "making a big splash" today.
He is now short of a large sum of money to take care of his elderly adoptive father and young daughter! After he kills Snow White, he can...
"etc!"
"Who do you mean?"
The hunter suddenly showed a puzzled expression:
"Who is Aurora?"
"Ahem..." The queen then remembered that the plan had changed and the assassination target had become someone the hunter didn't even know.
The queen quickly ran back to the house, used magic to quickly copy Aurora's portrait, and marked Aurora's location on the map.
"The target you want to assassinate is called Aurora, and she is right here! Her portrait is under this stack of papers."
"You dig out the target's heart and give it to me, and the mission is accomplished. I will give you a generous reward."
After hearing his mission, the hunter always felt something was wrong.
"Wait, wait, so it turns out that the person the queen wants to kill is not her daughter Snow White?" he couldn't help but think.
In the past few years, he had completely misunderstood the queen's intentions! "That's right, although she is not my biological daughter, she is still my daughter. Even if the queen of the White Kingdom is very jealous, how could she be so vicious as to want to kill her own daughter?" The hunter couldn't help thinking.
Thinking of this, the hunter suddenly felt that he had wronged the queen!
This queen, who people say has an extreme personality, is actually not that bad...
The hunter accepted the task, picked up his sharp knife, left the palace and walked into the forest.
As he walked, the hunter took out the target's portrait and looked at it carefully.
After seeing the little girl in the portrait, the hunter was confused.
"This target named Aurora looks like just a little girl. Why does the queen want to kill her?"
"I really don't understand. As a queen with a tyrannical personality, if she just wanted to kill a civilian she didn't like, couldn't she just let a soldier do it? Why did she contact me secretly several years in advance?"
"It's not like killing your own daughter. You can't let His Majesty know about it. Is there any need to be so secretive?"
The hunter was too lazy to think too much and just walked into the forest.
——Anyway, he just wanted some money to take care of his elderly carpenter father and young daughter. The specific reason didn’t matter at all!
After seeing the hunter disappear into the forest from afar, the queen suddenly felt uneasy again.
"I heard that the hunter also had a little daughter, who was exactly the same age as the girl named Aurora whom I wanted to kill."
"When the real action was about to be taken, the hunter looked at the pitiful appearance of the beautiful girl and remembered his own daughter, so he might have sympathy and showed mercy, right?"
She decided to wait for a while and then use the magic mirror to confirm whether the hunter succeeded in the assassination or showed mercy .
In the forest.
Rhine and Aurora stopped to rest and let the horses lean against the river to drink water.
At this time, the two saw a tall and strong hunter holding a sharp knife walking towards them!
