The Headless Man of the Forest Castle

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess wandering around in the forest. Her name was Cynthia, who had big, bright eyes and long, flowing golden hair.

a few weeks ago Cynthia was still a young lady in the palace whose appearance was the envy of her stepmother and the other princesses. One day, while she was sleeping in her bedroom, A mysterious man in a completely black outfit and mask broke in. Fortunately, Cynthia was a sober person. So he came to his senses the second the assassin raised his sword...

Roll to avoid deadly weapons. Then he jumped from the window of his room into the moat surrounding the castle. by before leaving She had left a wound from her slender palm on that boorish man's face!

Cynthia had a hunch that the person behind that assassination must be the new queen of the kingdom. Which is her stepmother. Lately Rumors began to spread that the queen kept talking to the magic mirror about who was the most beautiful person on earth. And the mirror said that Cynthia was the one who deserved that position.

The only way for a queen to become the most beautiful is to eliminate her...not even a soul remains!

A princess who only has her pajamas on. wandering around the forest Keep avoiding the soldiers that are chasing you. Including a skilled hunter who received money from the Queen. The only thing she can do is escape...run deep into the forest if she wants to survive!

A strange thing suddenly happened. As Cynthia stumbled to a clearing in the middle of a dense forest, It was strange that there was still a place like this in the rainforest... a small hut standing tall in the middle of a field. Surrounded by flocks of brightly colored birds and butterflies.

The girl walked closer. It was then discovered that the door to the hut was twice as small as a normal door. out of curiosity So the princess slipped in. At the end of the hut were seven small beds, about the size of a ten year old child's bed.

A week wandering in the middle of the forest She hadn't slept well once, and by this time, sleepiness was starting to take over her mind. A figure fell onto the bed on the far right. before falling asleep in that second It was at the same moment that the door to the hut opened. Then the seven little men slowly walked over.

...stepped in, not knowing that outside the window there was 'someone' staring intensely at the thin figure on the bed.

That's not as frightening as the mystery figure's headless!

one year later

Cynthia is very close to the mysterious cottage owner. In fact, the young woman considers them her closest friends in life. The 'Seven Dwarfs' were more friendly and kind-hearted than any other human she had ever met. They live in harmony with nature. Treat all animals equally. It was different from everyone in the palace the young woman had lived in.

“Princess, please be careful these days. We saw something strange. The castle is often deserted,” Doc, one of the eldest Dwarves, said with concern. Cynthia knew exactly what the other party's 'strange thing' meant. Recently, stories about a headless spirit that often appeared at night began to frighten the Dwarves and the villagers. from Charming Kingdom...

A kingdom located not far from this forest. The most common place to encounter 'them' is a giant stone castle that stands tall in the middle of the forest. Not too far from the cottage where she lived.

“It's okay. I'll be careful. Thank you for warning me,” Cynthia replied, turning to play with the birds and butterflies. For young women Spirits are no different from normal people. Everyone is different. We don't do anything to him. He didn't do anything to us. This is what the princess has always believed.

Suddenly another dwarf shouted out to Doc. while holding up mining equipment It is known that the work time is already long past. The old dwarf saw this and turned to say a brief goodbye to Cynthia. then ran to join the party Leaving the princess alone in the hut.

After helping the Dwarves clean and wash their clothes, Cynthia then walked out and sang along with the birds. Dancing amid the sweet melody Without knowing that now An old woman in a pitch black robe was staring at her and smiling mysteriously…

“Mommy, can you help me buy Grandma some apples?”

Cynthia stopped dancing. Then he turned to look at the owner of the voice. It was at this moment that the old woman handed him a bright red apple. Ready to speak in a calm voice

“It's a wishing apple. Just bite it and pray for what you want. That wish will come true. Please help me, little girl. Grandma has the last fruit left.” The old woman urged the young woman to buy the fruit with a sad expression on her face. with pity Cynthia slowly extended her hand to take it. Nod to the other person

Then he took a big bite of it. Suddenly...the fruit in his hand fell to the ground. Followed by some bodies staggering before falling unconscious without control. Only high-pitched laughter echoed throughout the forest.

...laughing with satisfaction that caused flocks of birds and deer to scatter in different directions!

Doc felt a strange foreboding. Since before leaving the hut He thought that something bad must have happened to the princess...a thought that suddenly popped into his head out of nowhere. Finally, the old dwarf decided to walk back to the hut. When he arrived, there was nothing. which was a sign of Cynthia Not even a flock of birds or butterflies had ever flirted with the girl. Aram was shocked.

causing Doc to shout at the top of his lungs She called out to the princess and ran all over the forest. Suddenly, a hoof sound came from behind. Along with the appearance of a completely black male horse that came running and stopped right in front of Doc. The rider was a handsome young man in a purple robe. The man's introduction revealed his identity without asking a single word.

“I am Prince Nicholas of the Charming Kingdom. Is there a princess missing, dwarf?”

Nicholas enjoys walking in nature. But on the first day, he disobeyed his father's orders and came out of the palace without any guards following him. Instead, the shouting of a dwarf shattered the stillness. After asking and knowing the whole story Nicholas decides to help the dwarfs find the missing princess.

A young man rode his horse and wandered around the dense forest. Look for a young woman named Cynthia. But not even a shadow could be found. At that time, the prince rode his horse into the area of ​​an abandoned castle that was rumored to be supernatural. The once bright sky suddenly darkened. The sound of the birds suddenly disappeared. It's like being sucked into another dimension.

Nicholas studied the giant structure that stood tall. Surrounded by a moat that had dried up until only a wet muddy ground remained. A mysterious castle in the middle of a dense forest...it doesn't seem scary at all compared to the stories I've heard. On the wall there was only rain moss and some vines. It was not found to be decayed or covered with plants like I had imagined.

A young man in a robe looked up at one of the castle windows. Before he was slightly startled when he saw the shadow of 'someone' moving past...so fast that he couldn't see the other person's face. When he rode his horse closer to the entrance, he was even more shocked. When he found that there was a red cloth shoe on it,

...red cloth shoes It had little black flecks, exactly as the dwarf had described. Princess Cynthia must definitely be in there! Is there such a thing as a noble man? The kingdom's 'next king' would be afraid of the dilapidated condition of this castle.

Nicholas jumped off his horse and ran into the building. You can feel the musty smell and the smell of algae floating around. Fortunately, it wasn't very dark inside. Because there is still sunlight shining through the window. A huge spider crawled along the ceiling. Along with the sound of the tiny footsteps of rats running around on the floor.

The prince turned left and right before walking up the stairs. Go straight to the floor where you saw the mysterious person walking past the window a moment ago.

Nicholas drew his sword. In his heart he wished to see the princess' face. A face that the dwarf described as more beautiful than an angel's. The young man began to dream. Without noticing the dozens of headless figures following behind at a close distance...!

Puk! Puk!

The prince was startled by the sound of pounding on the door. Nicholas turned and found a wooden door on the right wall. A sound similar to someone kicking with their feet came from the other side. The prince didn't wait. Gather all your strength and kick it as hard as you can. The barrier between the mystery room and the castle corridor was fully opened.

It revealed an old woman in a black robe who was bound on a chair!

“H...Help Grandma! Grandma swore she wouldn't do it again. I won't trick people into selling ordinary apples by saying they are magic apples again!!” A hoarse voice sounded from the old woman's mouth. Tears streamed down his blood-soaked face! Nicholas looked at the picture in shock. before walking in to find It means to help release the bondage of the other party. But suddenly

His foot caught on a piece of rope stretched on the ground. There was the sound of a sharp object tearing through the air. When the trap is set to start working A giant ax swung downwards. Cutting the old woman's throat, it was completely torn apart in that second!

Nicholas was completely shocked. He rushed out of the room, terrified for his life. A prince is also a person... who has a love for himself and a fear of death. It's different from fairy tales that usually feature a brave prince. Nicholas could tell it wasn't true! There isn't even an outline of the possibilities!

When the heart returns to beating normally Out of the corner of his eye, he saw another door on the left. It's slightly ajar. It's like an invitation.

His right hand gripped the sword so tightly that it was moist with sweat. Nicholas lowered his head to look at the ground to see if there were any traps set up. In front of him, a young woman in a clean white dress was lying motionless on a wooden bed. More importantly, she only had one shoe left. It must be Princess Cynthia! The other party's face was as beautiful as a heavenly angel. It was exactly as the old dwarf had said.

Nicholas walked slowly towards Cynthia. Try calling and nudging him to wake up. But the young woman still lay there, finally seeing that the usual methods were ineffective. So we decided to use the method that had appeared in fairy tales. That's a kiss! The young man leaned in towards the thin figure. Keep your eyes on plump lips. Before choosing to do what you had in mind without hesitation

...But Nicholas was shocked for the second time. Because the moment their lips met The woman's eyes suddenly opened! The young man tried to look up. But she couldn't, because now Cynthia's teeth had 'bitten' on his tongue that had invaded her mouth! Nicholas's eyes widened.

When the princess in front of her winked once Before biting his tongue until it was completely torn! Scarlet blood splattered. Some of it flowed into Cynthia's mouth. The girl giggled before 'chewing' the lump in her mouth deliciously!

The prince collapsed to the ground. try to scream But no sound came out. At that moment, the knife in Cynthia's hand was raised. before slamming it into the other's throat Just a moment Nicholas' head lolled. Falling at the feet of a young woman But it seems like he's still not satisfied. Cynthia crouched down and thrust the weapon in her hand into the headless body over and over.

Laughing happily, thinking of the fate of the poor grandmother!

Cynthia slowly stretched out her hand and took the apple. Nod to the other person He then took a large bite and the fruit in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. The princess smiled. before bending down to pick up a large stone beside his body Lifted it up and slammed it down on the old woman's face with all his might! Some bodies staggered before falling unconscious without control. Only high-pitched laughter echoed throughout the forest.

...Cynthia's delighted laughter caused the birds and deer to scatter in different directions!

One year ago...Princess Cynthia was wandering. Escape from the pursuit of soldiers It wasn't all because her stepmother was jealous of her beauty. But it was because the other party discovered evidence that she was the one who had murdered his mother and dozens of servants in cold blood! Headless corpse found in secret room

Which is hidden in the bedroom again! Finally, the young woman had to escape and live in this hut in the middle of the forest. But he still regularly kidnaps people from the Charming Kingdom to kill them to satisfy his perverted desires. The place that was used as a 'slaughter room' was this abandoned castle in the middle of the forest!

Most of the time, Cynthia takes action when the Seven Dwarfs are out at work. The story about the headless ghost in the abandoned castle was all her work. When an old swindler came and tricked me into selling apples. The young woman couldn't stop her thirst, so she captured him and imprisoned him in the castle. It was the same moment that Prince Nicholas arrived.

Young woman peeking through the window Before setting a trap for fun With amusement, at the same time, he thought in his heart what the taste of that noble man's blood would be like!

Cynthia pulled the knife away from the mangled body and began licking the blood off the sharp weapon. No...she won't let the dwarf go. Just save it for later killing. That little neck and head would have been quite a beautiful sight when it was torn off and fallen on the ground.

Behind them, dozens of headless spirits appeared in a standing position. Staring at the brutal murderer with untold vengeance. But the princess turned to look at them and laughed with satisfaction. Cynthia's high-pitched laughter echoed throughout the abandoned forest castle.

...a castle where they will live together happily (unilaterally) forever!

omega!!
