The magician of the fairy tale world

People say that the queen of the White Kingdom, who is Snow White's stepmother, is very beautiful, but she is very proud and arrogant, and has a strong jealousy. As long as she hears that someone is prettier than her, she can't stand it.

What outsiders don't know is that behind this terrible jealousy, there is also a big secret hidden: the queen is also a terrible witch, mastering some evil black magic. She used magic to charm the king of the White Kingdom, making him indulge in her beauty and obey her orders. No matter how extreme the queen's request is, the king will always obey!

However, the queen was most worried about: one day, the king saw someone more beautiful than her, and felt that she was not the most beautiful person, so he would not be deceived by her. That would be too bad!

As a witch, the queen has a magical mirror. She often goes to the mirror to admire herself and asks the mirror:

"Mirror, mirror, tell me, who is the most beautiful person in the world?"

Looking at the face reflected 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 to a man whom the queen did not know.

This time it's a woman. It's a princess in a kingdom that the queen doesn't know, a princess that she's never heard of.

The queen fell into deeper thought.

She reflected on her question:

“Well, this world is too big, and this continent is too vast.

"'Handsome princes' and 'beautiful princesses' are everywhere, too many to count. There are always many princesses I don't know who are definitely prettier than me!

"How about setting your goal lower?"

The queen revised the question again:

"Mirror, Mirror, tell me, who is the most beautiful woman in the Western Continent?"

"Still don't recognize it. 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, Magic Mirror finally gave a suitable answer:

"Of course it is you, my queen!"

The queen laughed, quite satisfied:

"I knew I was definitely the most beautiful. Look at my big watery eyes and crimson lips, who can compare to me!"

She covered her mouth with the back of her hand to stop herself from looking too proud.

For many years after that, the queen asked this every day. The answer given by the magic mirror has not changed.

Every time she heard the compliments from the magic mirror, the queen would smile with satisfaction.

Later, an organization called the "Witches" found the queen and invited her to join. Almost all the characters in it are extremely powerful witches.

The queen is not interested in magical communication, and unlike most witches in this organization, she does not have outstanding magical talents. But she needed a magic potion that would keep her young forever, so she agreed to join.

However, the queen rarely participated in the daily exchanges between the witches. She only used the magic mirror to answer questions from time to time in exchange for a bottle of youth potion.

The days passed.

The queen discovered that Snow White was becoming more beautiful day by day!

As Snow White grows up, she becomes more and more beautiful. Her skin is as white and tender as snow, and as ruddy as blood, and her hair is as black as ebony.

"What if one day my daughter is more beautiful than me?"

With such tension and worry, the queen still asked the magic mirror once a day. She was relieved after hearing the magic mirror say, "Of course the most beautiful woman in the White Kingdom is you, the queen."

But even so, when she got up the next day, the queen became worried again and went to ask the magic mirror anxiously, fearing that the magic mirror would suddenly tell her today:

"Queen, you are indeed beautiful, but your daughter Snow White is 1,000 times more beautiful than you!"

Finally one day, what the queen was worried about happened!

As usual, she asked the magic mirror again.

"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!" the queen urged.

The magic mirror trembled and said:

"My noble queen, please promise that after I tell the truth, you will not break me, throw me off the stairs, or do other extreme things."

"I agree to your request!"

The queen promised immediately, and she could not 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 settled in her head.

Magic Mirror breathed a long sigh of relief and solemnly gave the answer:

"Queen, you are indeed beautiful. But there is a beautiful little princess who is a thousand times more beautiful than you!"

The queen held her breath.

Sure enough, it is so!

"The most beautiful woman in the White Kingdom is undoubtedly Aurora!" The magic mirror finally gave the answer.

"I knew it!"

The queen roared 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 two steps outside the door, the queen noticed something was wrong.

"Wait, did I do something wrong?"

The queen ran back to the room and asked the magic mirror:

"You said, what is the name of the most beautiful person in the kingdom...?"

"Aurora."

The magic mirror answered and showed a dynamic image -

It was Aurora riding a white horse and walking through the emerald green forest with Rhine.

The little girl was blonde and blue-eyed, beautiful and charming, as if she had an extraordinary temperament that could capture people's hearts.

The queen was silent.

"No. Who are you?"

"I don't know you at all!"

At this time, the queen's hanging heart was relieved a little:

"Fortunately, fortunately, I thought the most beautiful person in the kingdom would be my daughter Snow White! If the killing of my daughter was known, it would be a bit difficult to deal with. Now, it's a stranger who is more beautiful than me, so it's okay."

No mistake, one song, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar, one look!

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 moving, it won't be long before the two children will be near the palace.

"If the king sees that Aurora and finds that there are people in the White Kingdom who are more beautiful than me, it will be bad. My enchanting magic may fail!

"No, this girl named Aurora must be killed!"

The queen hardened her heart and quietly summoned a strong hunter.

She had already prepared for Snow White to be more beautiful than herself one day, and this hunter was the killer she prepared in advance!

"I order you to kill Aurora! After the task is completed, 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 desperately.

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 kept contacting him secretly.

It was because one day, he could use him as a black glove as a hunter to secretly assassinate Snow White!

So, since the queen first contacted him secretly a few years ago, the hunter has been prepared for today's "big deal".

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...

"Wait!"

"Who are you talking about?"

The hunter suddenly showed a puzzled expression:

"Who is Aurora?"

"Ahem..." The queen then remembered that the plan had changed, and the assassination target became someone the hunter didn't know at all.

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 here! Her portrait is under this stack of paper."

"You dig out the target's heart and give it to me, and the mission is completed. I will give you a generous reward."

After listening to his mission, the hunter always felt that something was wrong.

"Wait, wait, it turns out that the queen wants to kill her daughter Snow White, isn't it?" He couldn't help thinking.

In the past few years, he completely misunderstood the queen's purpose!

"That's right, although she is not her own daughter, she is her own daughter after all. Even if the queen of the White Kingdom is 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 took the task, picked up a sharp knife and left the palace, walking into the forest.

As he walked, the hunter took out the portrait of the target and looked at it carefully.

After seeing the little girl in the portrait, the hunter fell into confusion.

"This target called 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 wants to kill a civilian she doesn't like, wouldn't it be enough to let a soldier do it? Why did she contact me secretly several years in advance?"

"It's not something that can't be known to His Majesty the King, such as killing his own daughter. Is it necessary to be so mysterious?"

The hunter was too lazy to think so much, so he walked into the forest.

- Anyway, he just wanted a sum of money to take care of his elderly carpenter adoptive father and young daughter. The specific reason is not important at all!

After seeing the hunter disappear in the forest from a distance, the queen suddenly felt uneasy again.

"I heard that the hunter also has a little daughter, who is about the same age as the girl named Aurora whom I want to kill."

"When the real action is about to be taken, the hunter will look at the pitiful appearance of the beautiful girl, and will not think of his own daughter, and will be moved with compassion and show mercy?"

She decided to wait for a while and 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 majestic hunter holding a sharp knife, walking towards them!
