Chapter 100 Eric’s dramatic talent
inside the house.
"It seems that Miss Cinderella is unwilling to attend tonight's ball."
Prince Eric looked at Cinderella, who was stunned and completely unresponsive, with a rather remorseful expression:
"Sure enough, it must be because we only came to inform you today. It is really rude!"
The prince turned around with great regret and took his wife Ariel away.
"Hey, Miss Cinderella doesn't want to attend the ball. We should tell our father that we should consider canceling the ball. If Miss Cinderella doesn't attend, is the ball still necessary?"
Ariel complained dissatisfiedly to the prince and said:
"Eric, I've already told you, why did you wait until today to find Miss Cinderella?
"It's so hasty to give Cinderella the invitation to the ball just now! Miss Cinderella must be very busy on weekdays. How can she find the time to change her plans and attend Henry's ball?"
Prince Eric admitted his mistake very sincerely and bowed his head to reflect:
"Yes. I didn't think well and ignored that Miss Cinderella has her own time schedule."
I am indeed very busy at ordinary times, but this is because I have to do housework. This is totally wrong! Can anyone tell me what happened...
Cinderella was full of thoughts and quickly stopped Prince Eric and Ariel who had already walked outside the door:
"Wait a minute. His Royal Highness Prince Eric. I will attend His Royal Highness Prince Henry's ball tonight!"
Prince Eric and Ariel turned their heads in excitement.
"Eric, did you hear that? Miss Cinderella agreed!" Ariel was extremely pleasantly surprised.
Prince Eric also seems to have received some great honor:
"That's great! Even Miss Cinderella will attend that ball. My brother Henry will definitely feel extremely honored."
Prince Eric and Ariel left happily, passing by their two bewildered sisters and stepmother. What are you talking about while walking:
"I was scared to death. I thought that if Miss Cinderella didn't come, the ball would almost not be held."
……
After the prince and Ariel left, the stepmother recalled everything that had just happened, and her legs were weak with fear.
She pulled her two biological daughters to the corner of the yard and said:
"Your sister Cinderella must have a particularly distinguished status.
"You guys have seen it, even the eldest prince Eric spoke to her with the same attitude just now.
"Well, she must be a member of the lost royal family. Oh no, it may be much more than that. She must be a princess of some big empire!"
The stepmother guessed that this noble bloodline definitely came from Cinderella’s dead biological mother!
Oh God, she never knew her husband had such an exaggerated background!
Two lines of desperate tears flowed from Cinderella's stepmother's eyes:
"It's all over now, my two stupid daughters.
"We used to let Cinderella do the dirtiest, most tiring, and smelliest jobs, and we never gave her any delicious food."
"We just found out today that Cinderella has such a prominent background. If she tells one percent of our abuse of her, our heads will be moved!"
The eldest daughter scratched her head:
"But I don't think we need to move. We live well here."
The second daughter was much smarter. She understood her mother’s intention instantly and showed an expression of “Sure enough,”:
"I understand. Mother, what do you mean..."
Cinderella's stepmother understood at the same time and nodded.
"Kill Cinderella quietly!" The second daughter made a gesture of wiping her neck.
The stepmother was so angry that she took out another bottle of water and poured it on her second daughter's head and covered her mouth:
"You idiot! Keep your voice down!
"If Cinderella doesn't attend Prince Henry's ball tonight, we will be in trouble.
"What I mean is that we should hurry up while Cinderella is still in our home, use all possible means to please her, gain her understanding, and ask her not to tell anyone about our abuse of her, not even a little bit. ! ”
The two sisters nodded in understanding.
It's still morning, and there's still some time before tonight's dance. They must seize the last moment to make up for everything.
The stepmother rushed into the house with her two sisters. When she saw Cinderella, who had not yet recovered from the shock, she made an extremely distressed expression:
"Cinderella, how can you dress like this? How can you be so dirty? This is really unfair to you. Let me give you a bath."
She snatched the broom from Cinderella's hand again:
"How can I let you do such a job?"
The two sisters got up after the stepmother ordered:
"You, go sweep the floor. You, go cook. We are going to prepare the most delicious food for Cinderella at noon today."
Cinderella froze in place.
This 180-degree change in stepmother's attitude made her feel like a dream!
Respectfully asking Cinderella to sit on the chair, the stepmother carefully brought a cup of tea to this child who had been oppressed and ridiculed countless times.
The stepmother is trying to find out Cinderella’s identity:
"By the way, lovely Cinderella. Can you tell me where your deceased mother came from and what is her special background? Did she say anything to you before she passed away?"
Mentioning Cinderella's biological mother who has passed away, her stepmother also wiped her tears with a handkerchief:
"Oh, I'm so sorry for your biological mother. She was so young, as beautiful as you, gentle, generous and considerate, but she died of illness."
Cinderella felt weird when she heard it, and she couldn't adapt to the huge change in her stepmother's attitude.
Normally, when you mention my biological mother, this is not your attitude! she thought.
Cinderella again remembered her biological mother's smile before she passed away. Her mother said she would protect her under the Nine Springs, but there was nothing else. She believed her mother was nothing special. "No." Cinderella shook her head, "There is nothing special about my biological mother."
"Oops. This Cinderella must have a grudge against me and doesn't want to tell me the truth at all." The stepmother was thinking a lot, "Forget it, as long as we can win Cinderella's forgiveness."
The stepmother looked at Xingrilla’s dirty clothes and said:
"Oh, by the way, my lovely Cinderella. How can you wear such a dress? I will quickly buy you the most beautiful dress so that you can attend Prince Henry's ball tonight with the most beautiful appearance!"
The stepmother spent the whole morning and a lot of money buying the most beautiful clothes in town.
When bargaining with the clothing store owner, the stepmother felt very distressed because the dress cost almost half of her savings - but as long as she could win a little bit of Cinderella's understanding, it was worth it.
She came home with her most beautiful dress.
"Quick, quick, Cinderella, put on this dress quickly. As long as you put on this dress, you will be more beautiful and will charm Prince Henry!"
As for the two sisters responsible for cleaning and cooking, they were in a hurry because of lack of experience.
They looked at Cinderella who was lifted to the sky by her stepmother, and looked at Cinderella who was usually bullied by the two of them and wore dirty clothes, but now she was wearing a luxurious dress made of silk and gauze, and they felt very unhappy. taste.
"Oh my god, this dress is 100 times more beautiful than my dress." The eldest sister sighed.
"Today's dream was really ridiculous." The second sister pinched her face.
……
As confused as Cinderella, not only were the two sisters, but also Fairy Godmother Layla who was watching the whole process.
"What is going on?"
Fairy Leila was confused.
"Look, I said, I will prepare a beautiful dress for Cinderella to attend the ball tonight." Rhine smiled proudly.
"So, what you said is that the way to prepare a dress for Cinderella is to ask her stepmother to buy one for Cinderella out of her own pocket?"
Fairy Leila was shocked by the boy's magical brain circuit!
"Yes." Rhine smiled, "Isn't this great? As a stepmother who has bullied her daughter for so long, the stepmother must pay some price to compensate Cinderella."
The little magician looked at Cinderella in the courtyard wearing a sky blue dress:
"The most important thing is that Cinderella not only got a dress that can be worn at the party, but also gained respect that she had never had before, and received compensation from her stepmother.
"From now on, her stepmother and two sisters will never bully her again."
Fairy Leila had to admit that this was indeed a better help than simply preparing a beautiful dress for Cinderella.
Looking at the fairy Leila who doubted the value of her existence, Rhine changed the subject and said:
"Why do you want to help Cinderella?"
According to this world, this fairy Leila should also be considered a witch.
"I used to dress up as an old woman and ask people to give me water on the street. Only Cinderella gave me a bottle of milk. She must be a kind girl." Fairy Leila replied, "So I swear to help She once."
The fairy looked towards the yard ahead. At this time, her stepmother begged Cinderella, who was wearing beautiful clothes, with great sincerity not to tell anyone about her abuse.
Fairy Reina also somewhat agreed with Rhine's words.
"By the way, little magician, what are you going to do next? You can't let Cinderella come back to this house after the dance, right? Huh? Where have you been?"
At this time, Layla discovered that the mysterious little magician had mysteriously disappeared again.
……
In the palace of the West Asian Kingdom.
"Prince Eric and Ariel, you did a great job. I didn't expect you to have acting talent."
Rhine leaned back in his chair and praised the two of them.
Of course he wrote the script just now, but Prince Eric improvised a lot, and his emotional expression looked very sincere.
"I have seen many similar plots and some similar scenes in novels and dramas," Prince Eric said.
He elaborated:
"Usually the protagonists of this kind of story start off in a very poor state, either a poor boy or a poor girl.
"However, the protagonist will accidentally pick up a magical item, or get help from other magicians, and then become prosperous.
"In some stories, before the protagonist fully rises to power, outsiders think that the protagonist is as depressed as before, and have no idea that the protagonist has obtained magical magic items.
"When they hear about the great achievements performed by the protagonist, they will all be shocked."
It seems that Prince Eric has really read a lot of fantasy stories... Rhine laughed in his heart.
He could clearly feel that Prince Eric had become a lot more cheerful since his wedding to Ariel.
"Helping Cinderella attend the ball is just the first step of the plan." Rhine thought.
He has not forgotten that the real goal at the moment is to help the mermaid boy gain Cinderella's affection.
……
The sun sets in the west and twilight gathers.
It's almost time for the dance.
Cinderella, wearing the most beautiful dress she had ever worn in her life, arrived in front of the palace in a carriage rented by her stepmother, feeling uneasy in her heart.
Cinderella didn't notice at all that the magically invisible fairy Leila was quietly following her.
