The execution ceremony was held in a splendid ballroom.

 

In place of the magnificent music played by the orchestra, moans of pain filled the venue.

 

Snow White’s mother danced in the luxuriously spacious venue, wearing iron shoes that had been heated on fire.

 

The crime is attempted assassination of the imperial family.

 

That day, Emperor Carlos calmly watched the empress dance like a person whose emotions had become numb.

 

There, the Imperial Knight, Merlin Astreans, who was standing in line with the other Imperial Knights, found the Princess, Snow White.

 

White was sneaking behind her pole.

 

That expression was so emotionless, and the two eyes were cold.

 

Another Imperial Knight found her White and quietly took her out.

 

Even while she was leaving, White’s eyes were on her mother, who was performing her last solo performance.

 

“White Princess!!”

 

Merchen Academy 2nd Campus, garden near Duke Hall.

 

As Snow White slayed the zombies, her claws of darkness came upon her.

 

Merlin hugged White and narrowly dodged the attack by spurring her to the ground.

 

Merlin quickly puts White behind her and corrects her stance.

 

White opened her eyes wide when she saw the gray-haired zombie wielding her dark magic at her.

 

Her eyes shook like an earthquake.

 

“Mother… ?”

 

Wearing a dress that was badly worn but must have been very pretty at one time.

 

In her rotten face, the beauty of the old days was vaguely contained.

 

The zombie’s high-heeled iron shoes are her instruments of torture that led her to her death.

 

Her past, her death dance, was the same, but now many zombies were following her.

 

Empress Grimheilde.

 

She obtained the world’s best beauty through a contract with Mephisto, bought the love of Emperor Carlos, and became empress dramatically.

 

It gurgles like a beast. Even after her death, she held on to her resentment towards her daughter.

 

“Mephisto’s contractor that Prince Isaac said…. Okay. Grimhild, it’s only natural that you show up too….”

 

Merlin narrowed her eyes.

 

“Merlin, that person….”

 

“Don’t be shaken, Princess White. They are already dead.”

 

“… I know.”

 

Contrary to Merlin’s expectations, White was very calm and upright.

 

I was embarrassed for a moment.

 

White raised the power of the fairy, the magic of the night, on her hand.

 

The ultramarine magic that flowed like smoke suddenly gained momentum and burned like the blazing sunlight.

 

“Merlin, please take care of the rest. Her mother… I will finish with my own hands.”

 

Merlin had no intention of interfering with White’s determination.

 

She just wanted to risk her own life to help her White break the curse of her past.

 

“… All right.”

 

Damn it!

 

Merlin jumped into the zombie horde and skillfully cut through the enemies.

 

Quaga River!!

 

One after another, White collided with Grimhide’s magic.

 

Grimhail’s dark magic could not easily push back the power of the fairy that White was using.

 

Grim Hyde let out a raging roar, tearing his mouth to the tips of his ears. Even if it was a corpse that inherited Mephisto’s intelligence, remnants of memory remained in that rotten body.

 

Jealousy.

 

It was only because of jealousy.

 

─ ‘Mirror, mirror. Who is the prettiest in the world?’

 

Every day Grim Heild asked the talking mirror, and he was confirmed that he was the most beautiful.

 

However, when Snow White grew up to some extent, the mirror said that White, the daughter of Grimhild, was the most beautiful in the world.

 

In the past, Grim Hyle bet many things on his demons to obtain the world’s most beautiful face. Both body and soul.

 

But White had held more beauty in her hand than she had, simply because she had been born of her Grim Heild’s belly.

 

How could it be so unfair?

 

Grimhail was furious. He was the most beautiful being in the world he had to be himself.

 

“This is really funny!”

 

Kagagak!!

 

White snorted and fired wind blades imbued with the magic of the night into a series of attacks, but Grim Hyde deployed her darkness shield to block and absorb the attack.

 

“That her mother was determined to kill her daughter! I thought you would at least consider me a bit of a daughter! If she had said that, she would have tried her entire life not to resent you!”

 

She believed that even if it was her mother who tried to kill herself many times, the pocket watch she gave her as a gift would be an ordinary gift, and White cherished it.

 

The fact that even that watch was a means of Grimheild’s conversion that would drive White into eternal hell… She gave White her deep sense of loss.

 

One step, one step. White poured out night wind blades and approached Grimhild.

 

Finally, White was right in front of Grimheild’s nose.

 

“Here… Let’s finish this, Mother.”

 

To break the shackles in your heart that you have cast.

 

In order to save herself, White would put her end to Grim Hyle.

 

Increases White’s magical power density.

 

Within seconds, the barrage of night wind blades from White pierced her dark shield of Grim Hilde and slashed her mercilessly.

 

Sassasasak!!

 

Grimhail let out a scream.

 

Her rotten body, easily mutilated, crumbled like a sand castle slowly collapsing, turning to gray powder and disappearing.

 

It was the end of the demons.

 

White supported the falling Grimheild with both hands. The blood vessels rose in her ugly eyes, which contained her whiteness.

 

Grim Heild quietly licked his dry lips like a barren rice field.

 

[Ah… go….]

 

At that moment, White swallowed his breath.

 

Her eyes were wide open.

 

[My baby….]

 

It came through clearly.

 

Grim Heild muttered, staring into space as if looking at something dear to her.

 

Before her second death, she has already lost many of her memories.

 

She drifted in the most intense memories of her surviving until the end.

 

Her only remaining memory was the time she looked at the white-haired baby in her arms.

 

As she held out her index finger, the little baby, who couldn’t open her eyes, held it tightly in her hand, the size of her baby’s crotch.

 

Her heart jumped. A smile spread across Grimhide’s face involuntarily.

 

She was smiling so happily as she looked at the baby born inside her belly.

 

For the first time, there was a treasure other than beauty.

 

“Baby, Lani… ?”

 

Only then did White realize.

 

Her own name was given to her by her mother.

 

It is called ‘White Snow’ because it is as pretty as pure white snow.

 

Snow White.

 

If she was a woman who would even be jealous of her daughter’s beauty, why did she give her such a name?

 

The question continues.

 

Mephisto made two contracts with Grimhaild.

 

Why?

 

The answer is simple if you look at the last days of the contractors that are full around you.

 

Mephisto is a demon who makes contracts with human desires as toys.

 

I don’t want a happy ending for the contractor.

 

The two contracts must have been in order to bring tragedy to Grimhild.

 

What was the talking mirror?

 

That strange mirror was a gift from Mephisto. It told Grimhild that you were the most beautiful, satisfying her need for confirmation every moment. Building up her obsession with her beauty step by step.

 

Later, when the mirror changed her position, even the jealousy that Grim Heild would have was Mephisto’s work.

 

Mephisto has the ability to make the contractor’s heart fill with malice. Just as she did to Alice in Wonderland, who usurped the power of the Queen of Hearts.

 

There was no way that her ability would have worked for an ordinary woman who only coveted her beauty.

 

When the time was ripe, Mephisto came to Grimhild at the right time as if he had waited and made a second contract to put White into the abyss.

 

Hopefully the tragedy of Grimheild was already planned.

 

“Wait a minute, mother… ! Don’t go away, don’t go away yet… !”

 

Surely. Grimheild’s form completely disappeared.

 

The woman who was played by Mephisto faced her second end, which was not so insignificant.

 

Not even her mother’s ashes were left in White’s hands.

 

When she opened her clenched fist, only the pitiful gray powder remaining in her palm was scattered in the wind.

 

It felt like my guts were being hacked to pieces. The blood all over his body was boiling.

 

Her unbearable rage consumed her.

 

Wow!

 

The magic of the night gushed out following White’s intense emotions.

 

It formed the shape of ultramarine blue wings, raising her abilities to several higher levels.

 

It is a body that has already been affected more than anyone else by the magic of the night fairy. Even more so, thanks to the blood and sweat shed and focused on training, White was able to endure the awakening phase.

 

A powerful magical power descended on the campus.

 

Swoop!

 

The ground was covered with brilliant ultramarine magic.

 

Heavy mana evaded White’s colleagues and gnawed away at only the zombies.

 

Merhen Academy’s faculty and students, as well as the Imperial Knights, looked at the magical power of the night that covered the area with shocked faces.

 

“This is… ?”

 

Only the helpless screams of the zombies rang out.

 

Bewildered, Merlin immediately looked at White.

 

Her eyes dropped to her knees on the ground, her head bowed, a gray-haired girl with a sense of loss. The magic of the burning night fluttered in her hair and the hem of her dress.

 

Her magical wings stretched behind White’s back and swayed like flames. In contrast to her ultramarine blue wings, her body was white and glowing softly.

 

“Princess White… ?”

 

White stood up.

 

Merlin caught White’s face in her field of vision.

 

A face stained with sadness and anger was covered with a thick murderous intent.

 

“Merlin, I need to go.”

 

“Where are you talking… ?”

 

“The 1st Campus.”

 

The huge eyeballs filling the sky face towards the 1st campus.

 

Ferocious flames are spreading in the sky of the 1st campus.

 

A battlefield where even a few lives won’t be enough.

 

White was about to leave for the place where the 「Battle to subdue the evil spirits」 Was taking place.

 

“That demon… I must kill them with my own hands.”

 

White somehow wanted to punish her demons for making her mother look like this.

 

“White Yellow… !”

 

Wow!

 

When Merlin rushed to stop it, White exploded her ultramarine magic that made up her wings and left the spot in an instant.

 

An ultramarine meteor crossed the sky in the direction of the 1st campus.
