Your majesty, I am once again asking, are you dead?

"Know this and know it well, hidden one: though I may scuttle in shadows and disguise away from the eyes of my loyal subjects, I do indeed yet live! Fool that the dwarf Grumpy may be, he was indeed correct that, should it please me, I could be in your room unseen at this very moment...."

[thepoisonapple]

Greetings, your majesty.

I wonder, are you acquainted with a certain Mistress of All Evil?

"Yes, dearie, I am indeed well acquainted with @powersofhell! She is a true and steadfast ally against the wretched forces of light."

[thepoisonapple]

You are very pretty ❤️

"You speak the absolute truth, hidden one. Now go and spread word of my radiance to all corners of the land!"

Good evening, your majesty.

I know that your scribe is rather overwhelmed at the moment, but I took inspiration from the elements around you and designed this set of earrings (along with a pendant)

Do you approve of my designs? It took me quite a while to get the shape of the heart right.

"What lovely illustrations! I shall have to introduce you to the royal jeweler immediately so that you may forge for me this fine regalia. I particularly enjoy the mirror necklace. It would be most useful to be able to admire my magnificent beauty wherever I go."

[thepoisonapple]

Your majesty, I think seeking therapy would be wiser than trying to become the fairest of them all.

"You speak utter nonsense, hidden one. I've no patience for such foolhardy notions."

[thepoisonapple]

Which is your least favourite ingredient in the peddler’s disguise potion? I’m guessing it’s the scream of fright because of that stressful expression on your face as your hair turned white. You looked as if you couldn’t breathe.

"I've not given the matter much thought, but I suppose the mummy dust would be my choice. Fright is but a passing feeling, but to watch my radiant beauty wither with age? That is a far more unsettling magic indeed."

[thepoisonapple]

Your Highness, did you know that the spell could be undone by true love's kiss or...?

"Love's first kiss, dearie. Precision, precision! I had thought there to be no fear of that. The dwarfs were supposed to bury her alive! Unfortunately, their insipid fixation with her gentle grace led to them placing her in a coffin made of glass where that fool prince could find her. A lesson to apply to future endeavors, I suppose."

[thepoisonapple]

Your thoughts on a phrase like "Witches eating babies is so 1693"?

"It brings to mind my dear friends the Sanderson Sisters. I'm sure they would have quite a bit to say on the matter. I, on the other hand, prefer to eat apple pies. That's what makes the mouth water. Like to try one, dearie?"

I have found another princess that might rival your beauty, along with some compliments she got.

What will you do if the Mirror calls her the Fairest One of All?

if i were you i'd stay away from her. and even if you do anything to her heart, there will be consequences against your favor

"Her? The Fairest One of All? No fear of that! Although with her sharp features, her appearance certainly brings to mind the Queen of Swords tarot card. Not my card of choice. I myself favor the Queen of Wands for reasons that should be evident."
