The Evil Queen's Beautiful Principles

... that night, I was in the office late.

I really wanted to concentrate on my thoughts, even though I understood that it wasn't an act that I was praised for as a doll princess.

During the day, Wilhelm's words got caught in my head.

... I can't believe he remembered the promise of that time...

In a quiet space, a knock sounds.

"... go ahead."

Who's here at this hour? While thinking about it, I encouraged her to come in.

Tommy and Gilbert came in.

There was an unexpected smile in their usual appearance.

"... what's wrong? At a time like this."

"We have a review report on wasteful work and processes. I hope you read it by noon tomorrow."

"Hmm... just leave it on that desk and I'll read it later."

"I understand."

"... Master Luxeria. I heard you. He said he had contact with his fiancé today."

Strengthen your facial expression muscles so that you don't get upset.

"Driftstone, Tommy. Did you already know that?"

"Instead, were you going to hide it? For the time being, I took care not to leak."

I see. Thank you very much. "

"... as for me, I'm concerned that Luxeria reacted excessively to your fiancée's words.... you can't come here and change your plans out of affection for your fiancée, can you?

For a moment, Tommy's words solidified.

"Of course, there's no change in plan."

... there are no changes to the plan.

I don't, but...

It is true that there is a sway in me.

No matter what you sacrifice, you decide to take revenge.

... that day I lost my parents.

If you still listen, the glass breaks from afar... I feel like I hear something breaking.

If you think about it now, it certainly broke that day.

Gentle values that grew up in a mild past and a warm present.

One side of the flower fields is covered in white, leaving only cold snow scenery.

... that's the world in my eyes right now.

I won't regret it.

Never run away.

Even if I buried myself in white, I decided to keep moving forward.

... and yet...

His words blunted my resolve.

There must have been a different path somewhere.

There is a different way somewhere.

... that's how I thought about assumptions that I couldn't possibly have.

"Sure, I swayed his words... let's admit it."

I won't regret it.

Never run away.

... because I've already decided.

Show me the way.

No matter how difficult it may be, no matter how painful it is, no matter what it is to throw away, no matter how much blame it takes... I decided to continue on that path.

... I can't change the way now.

If you spoil yourself a little, I won't be able to move forward.

That's why you're not allowed to stop here.

"But... the rest of them don't change their vows. I can't make a difference."

That's how I squeezed my trembling lips... and laughed.

"... I'm relieved to hear that. I apologize for your disrespect."

Tommy lowers his head when he says so.

"Good. Their concern is even more serious.... support me in the future."

In my words, Gilbert and Tommy were both silently kneeling and lowering their heads.

After the two of them left, I quietly look at the night sky.

It was a very beautiful view.

Glow of the stars floating in the darkness.

And in the middle of that, the three-day moon.

... breathtaking, beautiful.

"Likes"

Just one word.

How good would it have been if you had said the word?

And how good would it have been if he had taken his hand and gone the other way?

But it's too late. It's too late.

Instead of being able to tell him, he mutters alone in the absence of anyone.

Of course, no one will answer.

The words that came out just melted silently into the darkness at night.
