Chapter Text
She used to love fairy tales as a child
She loves how the protagonist got their happily ever after
But as time passed by, Little by little and growing up from the innocent and curious child that she is, the once innocent child started hating them.
She hated how they made her realize the bitter reality that she lived in
She hated how they had made her start to dream an impossible dream
She hates how imperfect her life is compared to the fairy tales that she once loved
Till the end of that first life, She cursed those fairy tales making her realize that she had so many regrets in her life
Fairy tales aren't real
Perfect Happy Ending doesn't exist
When she realized that she was reincarnated as the opposite gender of her once favorite fairy tale character, He decided to deny that he lived in a fairytale
All of his hardships and miseries...
All of them...
He would face them on his own
He doesn't need a prince or princess to help him or save him from his troubles.
He could manage on his own
He could take care of himself and his siblings
Life isn't a fairytale
Life is a reality that is full of hardships and troubles
Troubles that wouldn't disappear so soon with just a wave of a wand or the kiss of the special someone
Troubles and miseries that would keep piling up and up in this pain called life
You may have solved one problem, but another would appear
That is the logic of reality called life
There is no perfect happy ending in this story called reality
The story called reality wouldn't be over until you are in you're death throes
A satisfactory or good ending is full of imperfections. Those endings that if you look oh so closely are full of imperfections like cracks in a mirror
He has made a good ending for his story
A popular celebrity who could live off well for the rest of his life with his siblings until they died of old age
An imperfect good ending in this reality that he hopes he can continue to maintain until the end of his life
He would live the story of his life as he pleased
Neige's life is a reality
It isn't a fairytale.......
So why ..... So why?
A Prince Charming has unknowingly made their way into his heart?
An unconventional prince charming who wasn't even aware of his admiration
Neige's life isn't a fairytale...
It isn't...
Because of these preconceived beliefs and philosophies that he has, Neige Le Blanche unknowingly trapped himself in a fairytale-like dream
With a rose-colored view of one person.
Putting the ideal prince on a high pedestal above everyone else.
A Prince Charming that can do no wrong.
A Prince Charming that won his admiration from afar and secretly
A source of inspiration and one of the few sources of happiness in his life
A Prince Charming that he would never dare to have
Just like a fractured mirror
The reality that Neige envisioned for his story shatters
Oh, It was too late to realize that the Prince Charming whom Neige admired was the Evil Queen himself.
Face with that beautiful face that he would never dare to compare to himself
A smile that held a malicious intent that he could feel his knees slowly losing their strength and being weak
But being a good actor that he is, he stopped himself from collapsing to the ground
The entertainment persona that he created must always maintain a smile on his face
Someone who always smiles in the face of hardships
Someone who must never stop smiling
A crafted persona that inspires hope and admiration for everyone so that some people let themselves fall into a wonderful dreamlike fairytale
Maybe they would become like himself
Crafting themselves to become the prince charming of the story
The Hero of their tale
" Well, then here you are. Enjoy "
Ah, being offered a bottled apple.
An apple juice that was filled with poison
Neige's heart trembles
Neige's heart fills cold
Neige's heart is filled with happiness
Neige's heart was filled with various complicated emotions
Sigh... He was such a mess
The Prince Charming in front of him is the one who filled Neige with inspiration to craft that Prince Charming persona on himself
The Hero who inspires and saves people from their troubles
And Neige has mistakenly thought that the beautiful Evil Queen in front of him is Prince Charming
And now that the rose-colored view is bleached away from his eyes
It hurts...
At the same time, Neige is bitterly happy
This fairytale called reality is never a fairy tale from the start
How dare he, in his subconscious begin treating this life as a fairytale?
How dare he fall in love?
How dare he treat that person as a prince?
“ Someday, A Prince will come ”
It's horrible that those words would poison his heart
It's horrible to think that this person in front of him is the Prince
That fabled Prince Charming doesn't exist
A reality is a reality
If he looks into a mirror, Neige's 'ideal' prince charming would be reflected in it.
A Prince who wore fake smiles perfectly crafted for everyone
A Prince who lies so easily as he breathes
A Prince that still keeps going even though he already wants to sleep
A Prince that was so 'pure' and 'untainted'
A Prince that made a promise
A Promise that he shall never abandon the 7 Dwarves ever again
Neige is the Prince Charming who would stay by the 7 Dwarves' side forever and craft their ideal fairytale ending.
He is a 'hero' who never needed a saving.
He is the savior.
The sinful protagonist of the story would forever repent for his sin.
There would never be a time when a prince would come galloping from a white horse, saving him because Neige is someone who never deserves it.
