Once upon a time, Mr. Snow White bought a mirror for Mrs. Queen, his lovely wife. Mirror came from a shady manufacturer outside White City’s wal s and mirror always gives up for Mrs.

Queen’s desires. Mirror always tel s the truth. Mr. Snow White has seven different lovers along White Province. Mrs. Queen knew this. At first, she did not mind but as the years passed, Mr.

Snow White distanced from Mrs. Queen more and more, dedicating more time to his seven lovers. Mrs. Queen spent al of the day inside their room waiting for him. Admiring herself. The mirror, she knew, always speaks the buyer’s truth, in this case Mr Snow White’s truth. As a curse, Mr. Snow White wasn’t aware.

“Mirror, mirror on the wal , who’s the most beautiful of al ?” Mrs. Queen asked everyday and for most of the years, the mirror answered back “My Mrs. Queen you are so most beautiful, no one can compare.”

Indeed, Mrs. Queen was radiantly gorgeous, but slowly, age was taking its tol and the other seven lovers were so very young.

Mr Snow White was an arms manufacturer for the Emperor, so Mr. Snow White had riches among imagination which his family, wife and lovers enjoyed in the form of exotic luxuries such as Mrs. Queen owning a black dragon under the palace dome. They had built a special reinforced Dome a few kilometers in diameter for the dragon to feel free. Mrs. Queen sometimes visited the dome from the in-built balcony to appreciate her creature. She was satisfied knowing the other seven lovers would never have such a luxury. But Mrs. Queen had a plan in mind for one fateful day the mirror had a different answer for her selfish questions. “Mirror, mirror on the wal , who’s the most beautiful of al ?” but the mirror remained silent as she asked again. “Mirror, mirror on the wal , who’s the most beautiful of al ?”

“I cannot give an answer, MyLlady” , apologized the Mirror.

“Why is that?” Asked Mrs. Queen.

“I could never hurt your feelings My Lady”

“Please elaborate,” A direct order Mirror cannot refuse, so it needs to be very assertive on his next words as it may be its last ones, and mirrors don’t like being broken.

“As you may know, my beloved Mrs. Queen, there are other seven lovers scattered among White Province and said lovers are among Mr. Snow White's favorite hobby to pay them a visit

…”

“Who is the most beautiful of al ?” Interrupted Mrs. Queen in a demanding tone.

“During al his visits, Mr. Snow White developed a special taste for every single one of them, as he cannot resist the youth they hold inside …”

“Lie to me, mirror! tel me it's me the most beautiful of al !” Mrs. Queen demanded angrily.
