I Became the Black Swan Mother of the White Swan Princess

No matter how much I think about it, theres nothing about me that hes really into, is there?

My Lady.

Except for being a cursed widow and having his brother secretly.

Now both she and Selene had become solemn. She stretched her toes under the knees she was hugging for no reason and her chest rang.

Even if I just had a little bit of money a descendant of a good family, a glamorous dating career, or something like that, I wouldnt even think about it this far.

But

Thats not all.

What about our Haniel?

There was something else that made her hesitate more than the practical problems she had to deal with. She bit her lip while holding the colorful ribbons in the basket. I am Haniels mother, but His Majesty is Haniels older brother. She ran away saying she didnt like his older brother, but now she would come and talk to me about His Majesty. What a shock!

Thats true. Its like a shitty family show.

Hey, you!

Indeed, she was grateful that Selene was already cursed. Because she didnt have the ability to curse, there would have been no other way than to kill her.

Anyway, Haniel is my top priority.

Oh, that! His Majesty said before that he would compensate you if things went well! Cant you do something with that?

What?

I heard him say he would do anything. If you speak well to him about that, our curses

No. Its already been decided. Its not a wish that can be used carelessly.

Selene cut it off before she had any false hopes. It cant be that easy to break the curse. It might work out for Haniel, whose curse had been caused by her brothers hand, so its more likely to be some other magic than a curse. Sadly, the same situation wouldnt apply to her. It was a force that existed that shouldnt have.

Every family around the lake unanimously said they didnt even know the black magician existed until they were directly cursed. The same was true for the Duke of Evendell and even the knights traveling on the continent. Nobody knew how Rania gained such power, but unless there was visible evidence, she wont believe what they were saying.

Even if we announce that we are cursed, it will be over if Rania gets away with it. I dont know if shes a black magician or what, just send her far away and its over if you insist. She must be feeling so confident now.

Thats true. The princess doesnt have the power herself, so we can investigate. But wouldnt the Emperor have a man under him who can solve the curse?

If there was such a person, why couldnt Haniel find him yet?

It was said that all the royal wizards were brought here to find Roams traces. Thanks to that, she also felt guilty for saving herself for a while but from what she had seen so far, it didnt seem to work.

I think the royal mages might not even know about forbidden things like black magic. Their powers must be completely different.

.

At the same time, if I said that Rania cursed us without any proof, who would people believe? She might still have the upper hand unless I turn into a black swan right in front of them.

It wasnt that she wanted to be miserable, but that was how the world worked. It wasnt something she experienced once or twice in her previous life. What people usually believed in was power and money. The obscure truth that only she knew was only visible to her like the clothes of a naked Emperor. Period.

What year is Lania? You shouldnt come forward recklessly until you find proper evidence.

Once was a mistake. The second time would be entirely her fault. At the same time, Selenes expression became so serious that she burst into laughter at last.

Well, Im Haniels mother anyway. I dont want to think of anything else. Any other mothers would have.

Any other mother?

A real mother.

Selene had shut up. She felt so awkward that she started touching her nose. Its twitching was something she wasnt accustomed to.

Was the princess really that pretty?

Yes. Very pretty. She took a deep breath as she tried to think of an explanation. Curly blonde hair clung to her plump cheeks. Her ruby-red eyes twinkled, and her purring lips and fingers searched for her. She shook her head without thinking over each one of them. Anyway, shes so cute and pretty.

Is there something that youre worried about?

I want to be a real mother for the rest of my life.

Seeing her change into a human made her feel both happy and scared. How could she leave such a pretty sight? Every time she thought of Haniel, she was disappointed in herself to the extent that she couldnt be happy even though it was only natural. Thats why she wanted to live for Haniel fully despite the time she had left.

You dont have to look at me like that. I know I cant be someone

Thats not it.

Selene crawled after her when she got up first. Why? She looked at her with nonchalance but Selene was serious.

I know how you feel, madam. Youll have to take revenge on Lady Lania properly. The princesss mother will have to work hard too.

Youve heard everything. Whats wrong?

Still, after telling it all, she felt comfortable, so she lowered her guard and shrugged her shoulders. However, Selenes obsession and bone marrow skills were at a level.

But why do you leave your heart out for His Majesty?
