In the following period, Helen tried to persuade Lauren to arrange a suitable marriage for Snow White.
For example, neighboring Verga, the charming Prince Philip.
Snow White seemed to be secretly interested in him.
But when she brought it up, Lauren pointed at her nose and yelled.
She said she wanted to drive Snow White away because of jealousy.
Helen is just an empty queen, powerless and limited in what she can do.
After being insulted, her heart was completely cold.
Returning to the palace, she no longer confided a few words to her strange husband.
…
One dark night, there was a heavy knock on the door.
No one has visited Helen's bedroom for a long time.
She put on her coat and went to open the door.
Outside the door, Snow White was crying in tears: "Mother, help me!"
The words "mother" made Helen tremble.
After a slight hesitation, she hugged the crying girl in front of her and continued to comfort her.
It turned out that she fell in love at first sight with the handsome Prince Philip at the ball.
Even if her father Lauren obstructs her, he still can't stop the flame of love that can break through all shackles.
"He clearly promised that he would stay outside, but..."
Snow White pulled up her clothes, revealing her slightly bulging belly.
She is pregnant.
"Mother, if father knows, he will kill me."
Snow White also knew why her father had an almost pathological love for her. It was a forbidden feeling.
Her eyes were blank, nervous and at a loss.
"Mom, I really love him. For him, I can give up anything."
For a moment, Helen lost her mind and was in a trance.
She stared at the girl in front of her, as if she saw herself many years ago.
That silly girl who is willing to give up everything for love.
At Snow White's begging, Helen relented.
She sold the jewelry that Lauren had given her and arranged an escape for Snow White.
Faced with her furious husband, Helen tried her best to comfort her.
She paid a hunter to bring back the wild boar's offal and falsely claimed that Snow White had been eaten by the beast.
Such a clumsy method would naturally not fool the shrewd king.
Lauren grabbed the bloody offal on the tray and threw it into Helen's face in front of all the princes and ministers.
She stood there, expressionless.
Let the scarlet filth slide down your cheeks and stain your clothes.
She no longer recognized the man in front of her.
As for the rumors in the market that the queen sent hunters to kill Snow White, it was naturally the work of a noble girl.
How could a woman hated by the king be worthy of the throne of queen
Rumors that Queen Margaret was Princess Helen of neighboring country also spread at the same time and spread like wildfire.
…
One sleepless night, there was no light in the house, Helen hugged her knees and squatted in the corner.
Suddenly, Ronan's pupils shrank.
He saw light emerging from the darkness.
A witch wearing a black cloak and a wizard's hat stepped out of the light.
"Poor Helen, I'm here to help you."
This time, under Helen's questioning, the witch took the initiative to reveal her identity.
She is Helen's distant aunt, the Moon Witch.
Facing the mysterious witch who had saved her from fire and water, Helen grabbed her cloak as if she was grasping the only hope.
"Can you help me break our engagement, aunt?"
"Silly boy, why do you think Lauren keeps keeping you as queen?"
Helen was startled and suddenly realized.
It turned out that the man she once loved deeply regarded her as a political bargaining chip from the beginning.
As long as Helen is still Monte's queen, she can guarantee peaceful coexistence with Yas, freeing up her hands to develop Monte's national power.
So, the recent leak of her identity was also privately authorized by Lauren
Helen's remaining thoughts about her husband suddenly turned into ashes.
"Poor Helen, I have an idea."
The witch proposed a simple and crude plan to curse the king.
As Lauren's wife, Helen can easily obtain the other party's hair to facilitate the operation.
Perhaps because she was heartbroken, she agreed to the plan without hesitation for long.
The next day, Lauren, who was about to launch a nationwide manhunt for Snow White, was struck by lightning on her way to the hall.
The limbs were torn apart and the death was horrific.
People all over the country put on mourning clothes and mourned the death of the king, either sincerely or hypocritically.
As for the divine punishment, in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, it must not be revealed.
Helen, who became a widow, wore a black dress and attended the king's solemn funeral.
The priest recited a thick prayer, praising the bravery and contribution of the late King Laurent in his life.
The content was so long that Helen almost fell asleep while listening to it.
No emotion could be discerned beneath her dark black veil.
She had long since given up on this hypocritical man, and she didn't shed a single tear until the show was over.
Next, regarding the question of who was the heir to the country, the ministers and nobles were divided into two groups.
One faction supports the queen's rule, and the other advocates retrieving Snow White.
No matter which one of them becomes the heir, they will not escape the political fate of a puppet.
The imitation scene ends abruptly here.
Ronan woke up and sat up.
The suspicion about the poison apple arose after the murder of King Laurent, so no relevant records were left in the simulation.
One thing is for sure, though.
The truth may not be that the queen pretended to be a witch and poisoned Snow White, as popular rumors said.
There must be something hidden in this.
Ronan closed his eyes, seeming to be deep in thought.
Helen Theresa, this miserable woman, had suffered many hardships since she became an adult.
From birth to now, it can be said that I have witnessed her growth step by step.
Ronan felt compassion and considered whether to keep the archive after killing the minister.
If you read the file and go back, you will face internal and external troubles.
If the witch aunt hadn't appeared, Helen Theresa would have been driven crazy.
After thinking for a moment, Ronan decided to keep the current archive and move forward.
If something goes wrong, just load the file and go back to before killing the minister.
Before I had time to add points and open the treasure box, a system notification sounded in my mind.
Act Two: Snow and Blood
Designated strategy target: Maria Sophia Feng
Location: Verga
No specified opening time
After successfully conquering the designated target, you can start the next scene.
Who is Maria...
Ronan had a big head and stared at the word "Feng" with a strange look on his face.
Feng is a noble surname.
The king of Monte, whose full name is Laurentvon.
No way…
Ronan seemed to have thought of something, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he opened the strategy manual.
A delicate beauty wearing a princess dress, with big breasts, long legs, and skin as good as snow.
Name: Maria Sophia Von
Difficulty: c (you can get 40 experience points after successfully completing the strategy)

What the hell...
Staring at the girl's delicate face, Ronan really didn't know what to say.
I just conquered Queen Helen Theresa.
Now, it’s time to conquer Snow White again.
…
"If you forget to add points and open the treasure box this time, don't rely on me." Ronan
