I Became the Black Swan Mother of the White Swan Princess

HAHAHA! Selene suddenly burst into laughter as she recalled Rashid from yesterday. Then, she abruptly stopped laughing and frowned. Madam, did you think about marrying His Majesty?

Ah.

Shes making her the strange one again.

Hahaha! If men and women meet seriously, isnt it natural to think that far? Like, just think about it?

Madam, this is the lake! The lake! Selene shrugged her shoulders with her two wings raised. Its the Ferdium Lake, where no one knows who will die tomorrow.

As she walked toward the window, holding the black dress, she glanced back at Selene. When their eyes met, Selenes expression became even more meaningful.

Dont you know that today is the time when one can just enjoy the lake to the fullest?

She momentarily forgot where she was. In other words, it is a lake, a republic of free love and pleasure, where the effects of a group curse had appeared at the end of the century. If she died tomorrow, it will be the end for her. Meeting people she was attracted to from time to time while enjoying a day in the lake, Selene laughed leisurely as if she was the Joker.

Madam, why are you so serious by yourself?

Selene.

If you like someone, meet them, and if you dont, just break up. Why bother thinking about marriage and making your registration more complicated while constantly anticipating what will happen tomorrow?

If she had just stopped there, she could have been somewhat moved and ended it warmly. But our Selene always went one step further, and that was the problem.

His Majesty may not have thought about things thoroughly, but Madam, you aloneHAHAHA! Kheeek!

Hey, move aside. She kicked Selenes wings that were supporting her head and walked back to the window. Well, its not entirely wrong. She alternated between the black dress she was holding and the dress in the fancy box. It would have different consequences depending on which one she wore.

But we dont know, Madam-

Dont say things you dont even know.

When she opened the window widely, cool air filled her chest. She spread it outside for the wind and even shook the dress fabric wide open. If Selene recited a phrase again as if she had heard it somewhere, she also had no problem speaking fluently and romantically. Oh, I love my current life.

Really, did he say that?

Yeah, I heard it with my ears.

Lania, who was trying on a fitted dress, looked at Rebecca, who was gasping for breath.

Hoping for a compliment, Lania narrowed her eyes slightly.

You should maintain your dignity, Rebecca.

Youre the one whos been in a good mood lately. Rebecca retorted back to Lania, which was unusual, and finally tried on her dress.

The vibrant ivory-colored dress made her feel refreshed as if all her hardships had been washed away.

She was standing by the window, even in a mourning gown.

Really?

Yes. She should know the subject. Well, if she knew the real theme, how would she think of accompanying him to His Majestys banquet?

Rebecca let out a scornful laugh as she turned the dress to the side and examined it. Originally, she wanted to wear it for the engagement ceremony. With an unavoidable sense of regret, she glanced at her older sister.

Although she said it as a joke, it was true that her sister had been in a noticeably good mood lately. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rebecca tentatively tried her luck. Uh, sister. Anyways, what about Everton?

What about him?

Why not? Its about time for him to come back.

Its been over a year already. That Eloise! How proud is she to be engaged to the noble Seo family? How much longer do I have to tolerate seeing her act so conceited? Ugh, how long do I have to endure that?

she concluded that she couldnt win if she didnt fight. Rebecca, whose voice inadvertently became louder, finally felt ashamed when she met her sisters indifferent eyes.

Rebecca, youre talking like I deliberately didnt call for Everton.

Oh no, I know thats not true. Of course, its not like that. Why would you think that, sister?

Knowing that being out of her sisters favor would be the end, Rebecca threw her dress aside and approached her.

Why was she even acting like a servant to her sister all this time?

She engraved their promise in her memory once again without forgetting.

I told you that if you go to the palace, Everton will come back and govern the North. Of course, I didnt mean that Ill take the position of the lord instead of you, but anyway, the North will be under Evertons control.

Right.

Surprisingly, admitting it willingly made her feel even more uncomfortable. Not knowing what expression to make, Lania reached out her hand first to Rebecca.

In that case, I have to catch His Majestys eyes, somehow.

Well, yeah. And they say Catherine is just being used, right? Today, I saw her hiding and complaining in that gloomy attire again. What is she thinking? Even if she comes out like that tomorrow, at best shell only receive ridicule or pity.

Thats not enough.

Huh? Then what else

Even pity is too much for a woman like her.
