Chapter 110: "The Queen" Is Back?
The queen had been gone for nearly a day.
The witch Slave Master from the Coven had long grown impatient. She activated her enchanted silver shoes and teleported out of White Kingdom. As for the King of White Kingdom, he was even more restless.
“In a few days, Prince Henry, the second prince of the neighboring Western Asia Kingdom, will be visiting White Kingdom with his attendants. Should we prepare a banquet to welcome him, Your Majesty?” a waiting attendant asked.
“Do whatever you want. I don’t care about these things anymore.” The king waved his hand impatiently, dismissing the attendant.
“Sigh, why hasn’t my beautiful wife come back yet?” The king wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Now, his heart was entirely preoccupied with his beautiful queen. Compared to her, the entire kingdom seemed dull and lifeless.
"Right, my wife always mumbles to that mirror. Maybe that magic mirror knows something!"
The king hurried into the queen’s chamber and questioned the magic mirror:
“Mirror, mirror, do you know where your dear master—the beautiful queen—has gone? How is she now?”The magic mirror answered truthfully:
“I only know that my most beloved and greatest master went to the house of the dwarfs in the mountains and forests.
"As for her current situation, I do not know. Only the queen can use me. If she does not ask me questions, I can see nothing.
"My dear Majesty, I am just as anxious and worried for my master’s safety as you are! For I deeply love my master!”
The king was helpless.
“If my wife isn’t back by sunrise tomorrow, I’ll send the entire army to the mountains and forests to find her!”
He left the chamber, deep in thought.
Under the table, two little hamsters—Rhine and Aurora—had overheard everything between the king and the magic mirror.
The brown-furred hamster, Aurora, said, “Just as the Sea Hag’s intelligence suggested. This magic mirror can only be used by the queen! Grandma Rosa, the witch from Rose Kingdom, once taught me that certain enchanted objects are bound to a single master, making them usable only by that person. Of course, such restrictions can sometimes be bypassed.”
But since Aurora was now a tiny hamster, what she actually sounded like was:
“Eek eek, eek eek.”
The snow-white hamster, Rhine, nodded and responded, thoughtful yet pleased:
“Eek eek, eek eek.”
What he meant was:
“Just as I thought, the magic mirror truly loves the queen. That makes things easier!”
After Aurora had granted the mermaid princess Ariel an immortal soul, both Rhine and Aurora were now absolutely certain—love in this world extended far beyond just romantic love! ꞦâΝó𝖇Εș
“Eek eek, eek eek.” Aurora asked in confusion.
Her meaning was:
“Teacher, do you really understand what I’m saying? Because I have no idea what you’re saying.”
The two little hamsters scurried out of the room.
Rhine found a secluded spot, restored them both to their human forms, then flipped his palm, producing a small pink perfume bottle.
[False Love] Perfume.
A magical artifact born from the twisted affections of Prince Eric, Princess of Enderland, and the mermaid princess Ariel!
“Aurora, as long as you apply a single drop, anyone who sees you will perceive you as the person—or thing—they love most.”
The king wandered alone through the palace corridors, restless.
His wife’s breathtaking beauty, her flowing black hair, and her crimson lips kept surfacing in his mind.
"Forget it! I’ll send men to the forest to find my wife right now!"
Just as he made up his mind, he turned a corner—and there, in the hallway, stood a familiar figure.
It was the woman he had been longing for—the Queen of White Kingdom!
“My love, you’re back! Where have you been?” The king was overwhelmed with joy and threw himself forward.
The queen avoided his embrace and said calmly, “I was only gone for a day. Why the fuss? You’ve made the entire palace anxious. You know I’m a witch—I have my own secrets and need my privacy.”
“You’re right, my love!” The king obediently nodded, lowering his head in sincere apology. “It’s all my fault, all my fault! I won’t overreact like this again. I’ll go inform the attendants and ministers that you’ve returned.”
Before his wife, he was nothing like a sovereign ruler—he was like a well-behaved, obedient child!
"He listens to the queen so completely… No matter what I say, he agrees."
Aurora, wearing the perfume, thought to herself.
At this moment, in the king’s eyes, Aurora’s appearance, demeanor, and aura were indistinguishable from the queen’s!
This perfume’s magic was far beyond simple disguise or illusion—it made those who saw the wearer absolutely believe from the depths of their heart that they were looking at their most beloved person!
Even if the person’s behavior was somewhat different from usual, they would not doubt it.
Even eyes that could see through illusions or supernatural divination abilities would be deceived!
This was [False Love].
Aurora imitated the queen’s commanding tone and ordered the king:
“Oh, by the way, for the time being, I will be working on secret magical research in my chambers. No one is allowed to disturb me—not even the servants.
"If anyone other than you sees me, my magic potion experiments will fail!
"The only person I will occasionally meet is you, my dear Majesty. You will be responsible for delivering my commands to the ministers in the palace.”
The king nodded eagerly.
“Of course, of course! I’ll go tell everyone right away! I promise, I won’t let anyone disturb you, my love!”
"This king really listens to everything the queen says… No matter how unreasonable the request. Even if his love for her has been amplified by years of magic, this is ridiculous."
Aurora couldn’t help but mutter in her mind.
But she maintained her role, lifting her chin arrogantly.
“Oh, and I have hired an experienced magician’s assistant to help with my potion-making.”
She gestured toward Rhine, who stepped forward.@@novelbin@@
“This is Sage Rhine of Rose Kingdom, a grand magician. While I am in my chambers working on potions, he will also assist in conveying my words.”
The king thought for a moment and recalled hearing of this Sage of Rose Kingdom.
Especially in neighboring Western Asia Kingdom, rumors suggested that the alliance between the Sea Kingdom and Western Asia Kingdom had been orchestrated by this very magician!
“So it’s Master Rhine! What an honor, what an honor! I never expected to meet you here!”
The king excitedly grabbed Rhine’s hand, practically groveling in admiration—so much so that Rhine got goosebumps.
"Come on, you’re a king. Can’t you act like one?"
Of course, Rhine knew that White Kingdom’s king was only acting like this because of the queen’s recommendation.
What do you think?
