Adrian, the Light God's chosen one and heir to the throne of the Empire, recently acquired a magic mirror that could connect to the Abyss.
The Abyss was indeed as dark and terrifying as the rumors said.
Except for one witch whose style seemed completely out of place.
She had golden curls more radiant than the sun, clear blue eyes like the sea, skin whiter than snow, and lips more delicate than roses.
Adrian almost thought he'd triggered the plot of Snow White: his magic mirror had revealed the most beautiful girl in the world.
“Boohoo, why does everyone else look so handsome and cool, while I look so weird?” the beautiful witch sobbed.
Adrian: ???
He looked at the dark creatures with their bizarre appearances, then at the peerlessly beautiful witch, and the Crown Prince fell silent.
Witch: Everyone hates me. No one wants to play with ugly, silly Lily.
The Crown Prince sighed. “The milk, bread, and roses left on your windowsill every morning are all secretly put there by those ‘people who hate you.’”
Witch: I found three puppies today. They're so cute! Lily isn't all alone anymore.
The Crown Prince was shocked. “!!! Put them down! Those are hellhounds!”
One day, Lily, the witch of the Abyss, received an admission letter from the School of Magic.
Lily decided to see the outside world. Although she hadn't yet mastered the continent's common language, she had a magical little mirror to translate for her.
Bard: Your golden hair shines so brightly, and your blue eyes are so captivating. Be my lover!
Illiterate witch: What is he saying?
The Crown Prince's magic-mirror voice: He says your hair is like gold and wants you to cut it off for him. Your eyes are like sapphires, and he wants you to dig them out for him.
Lily fled in tears: Why is the royal city scarier than the Abyss? QAQ
In the royal city, the poor witch Lily couldn't afford tuition, so the School of Magic gave her a work-study opportunity: serving as the personal maid to the Crown Prince of the Empire.
Adrian gazed into the mirror. “I'm so handsome and gentle. It's only natural that she'll fall for me after spending every day with me.”
But how could he, the Crown Prince of the Empire, lower himself to a witch? Naturally, she had to be the one to confess first.
Little maid Lily: Your Highness, the captain of the knights is so handsome!
Crown Prince: ?
Lily blushed shyly. “Your Highness, the little elf prince is so gentle!”
Crown Prince: ??
Lily gazed up at him with shining eyes. “Your Highness, Duke Vampire has invited me to his estate for afternoon tea!”
Crown Prince: ???
“Don't you dare go!!!”
