Elizabeth in the Mirror
The version I have is the Chinese one. Except "Cain" and "Lief", other characters' names are named by myself, they are not the offical English name from the comic. Sorry, I don't know the offical Eng. names of the other characters. Anyone helps please !?
Please read from Right to Left
A post with a beautiful lady's photo is posted on the
wall:
- Many years ago, a queen did her sewing. She picked her finger with her needle,
and blood drops fell upon. The queen sighed. "If only I could have a
child whose skin was white as the snow, whose hair was black as the windowsill",
she said. . . . . .
Not long after, the queen did have such a child, and she as named Snow White

- In Hardy's House, Madame Hardy welcomes her guests -
Those who came here for the above post, please don't ever treat it as a ridiculous trick. As long as the sleeping beauty Elizabeth awaked by the Prince's kiss, her savior will inherit The Hardy's and marry her.
Madame
Hardy "What
I ask for is the prince who could awake my loved child, Elizabeth . . . ",
she continues ,"This sounds like a fairy tale, but that's what my loved
child searching for."
A guy: "The Prince's Kiss ... for awaking Snow White. It seems that beautiful
hostess is no joking at all!"
-
To bid The Hardy's Inheritance and marry the Sleeping Beauty,
nearly all men in London gather here -
A
guy (to Cain): "You look like a candidate too . . . but you look so young!
(estimates and thinks : 'looks like a 13 , 14-year-old') I am Rupert Macos.
May I know who you are?"
Cain : "Cain. I am much more interested in Snow White's poisoned apple
- especially the kind of 'poison' involved."
Rupert (don't know what to say) :" AH ?"
Madame Hardy: "Er . . . . . . ?" (she thinks: 'That calm and handsome
child . . . it looks like he is from a rich family. I think I have seen him
somewhere, somehow . . . ')
talk to the guests, "Gentlemen, please follow me to my daughter's study!
I haven't seen her for a year. This is it. This is the place where my dearest
daughter "falling asleep". "
A young man: "I am the lawyer of The Hardy's. My name is George Neil. This is the will of Miss Elizabeth Hardy."
- THE WILL ? -
The young man reads the will aloud: "After a year of my death, the man who awakes me with his kiss would then succeed this family inheritance and the title . . . . . . "
Madame
Hardy:
"However unbelievable it sounds like, I just want to will my loved daughter.
Those who can't stand this, please leave now."
A guy whispers: 'Kiss the dead who died a year ago?'
Another guy: " OH NO ~~~~~~ That's impossible to bring her alive; even
kissing her in her just dead situation. '
Another guy: 'This Is Ridiculous! Let's Go ! !'
Cain
(to Rupert): "Rupert, you are not leaving ?"
Rupert (in hesitation): "I am a poor student with no dream and nothing
to loose . . . But, if it's a terrible dead body, I will flee right away!"
Cain (to the hostess): "Oh, yes . . . please let us meet the princess
first!"
Madame Hardy: " Mmm. . . that's what you gentlemen asked for . . . ",
order the servants, "Come here and open the coffin."
The servant: "Can we? How could this be . . . "
Another servant : "Ssh! Talk no more !"
- The servants open the coffin. They are shocked by what they have seen -
-
Skins as snow; Lips as blood and Hair as golden silk -
- It's not deteriorating, nor any winkle is found.
The girl is in this glass coffin looks like she will wake up right away -
Rupert
(in fear and thinks) ' It's... it's just like alive! Is it a dead body for
a year...?'
Madame Hardy: "oh . . . oh . . . How . .. how could this be . . . ?"
- How Could This Be . . . . . . ? -
Cain:
"Even it's in great care, it can't be looked this this . . . just like
she is sleeping inside only. "
Madame Hardy: "Pardon... maybe ... my daughter died a year ago!"
Cain: "What's the cause of the dead ? "
Madame Hardy: "You meant, Elizabeth? The doct. . . the doctor said it's
tuberculosis . . . seeing her suffered face, how I wish I could substitute
her !"
