1 "Hey, the hem of my dress is still frayed? Didn't I tell you to sew it on? Why are you so dazed!" The eldest daughter's screams echoed.Although it was a common occurrence, the servant who was chopping wood in the yard was startled and peeked into the house through the window. "I'm sorry sister, I'll sew right away!" The youngest daughter Cinderella desperately apologized.For the servants, it was already a sight to be tired of seeing. "Forget it, I'll wear something else. You are useless at all." The eldest daughter wanted to take off the dress angrily, but because her fat body was originally stuffed into the tight dress, she couldn't pull it off at this time. I didn't zip up the zipper, and there was a "chuck" at the end, and the dress was torn.

"Woo! It's all your fault! It's all because of you!" "sorry Sorry!" "Cinderella, have my shoes been cleaned?" Cinderella's stepmother asked. "If you don't wipe it, I can't forgive you." "Wipe it, my lord mother." "Yeah, I don't have a necklace to go with. What should I do?" the second daughter began to yell. "By the way, Cinderella, you have a good one, bring that." "Huh? But it's a relic of my dead mother..." "Whispering! If I tell you to get it, get it quickly!"

"But……" "Stop talking back!" The stepmother and the two stepsisters threatened at the same time.Tears welled up in Cinderella's eyes, but she still whispered "Yes" and walked out of the room. The servant left the window, shaking his head and sighing.The quarrel, as usual, discouraged him. The master didn't know how to do it, but he chose that kind of woman as his second wife.The servant thought incredulously.He is ugly and has a bad heart, not to mention, there are also two nasty oil bottles.If you want to talk about the benefits of this marriage, it is a little better financially.The woman was a well-known loan shark and was said to be rich.

But the reason for this property is very important, the servant imagined.Cinderella's father was an aristocrat, but it can be said that he had no financial means. He always seemed to be relying on his ancestors' money, but gradually his savings bottomed out, and he fell into a situation where even the land and real estate had to be sold. At this moment, the wicked woman named Dandela appeared.Dendera is a nouveau riche, not from a famous family background, she has a sense of inferiority, so she takes a fancy to Cinderella's father.In short, she wanted a title of nobility. But Cinderella became a victim of this marriage.The stepmother and two older sisters who came to this house, because Cinderella feeds on her own, totally treat her like a maid.And Cinderella seems to be afraid of offending them and making her father difficult, so she has been silently enduring.It is impossible for a father to be unaware of this situation, but as a puppet, once he divorced his wife, he would have no means of earning a living, so he never intervened a word, pretending to turn a blind eye to Cinderella's distress.

The stepmother and the two older sisters, dressed in inappropriately splendid attire, rode out in a carriage.Looks like there's another party somewhere tonight.Needless to say, Cinderella takes care of the house. Cinderella watched them leave, and the servant greeted her from behind: "Miss." Cinderella turned her head, looked at him and smiled. "Finish chopping firewood? You've worked hard. How about some tea?" "Forget about tea, let alone that, miss, why do you obey those guys? You are the official heir of this family, you should talk to the master and give them a lesson."

Hearing what the servant said, Cinderella showed a sad expression for a moment, but then returned to smiling. "I don't want to embarrass my father. Don't tell my father anything. By the way, can I help you to look after the house tonight?" "No problem. Are you going to work again?" "Yeah, I also need to earn a little money." "Well, if the master also does some work, miss, you don't have to work so hard." "Don't say such things." After being severely warned by Cinderella in a gentle tone, the servant was dumbfounded and had nothing to say.He knew that Cinderella was actually a very strong girl.

2 This is a high-end clothing store. Needless to say, dresses and accessories, all decorations are in the business, and recently even luxury carriages have been rented out.That is the so-called royal shop. At 8:30 in the evening, Rumelo wandered into the back of the shop.As soon as she knocked on the back door, it opened silently. Cinderella is waiting for her inside. "Thank you for your hard work. Thank you." After hearing Cinderella's words, Rumelo shook her head. "It's my turn to thank you, it really helped me a lot." "It's good if I can help you."

Urged by Cinderella, Rumelo enters the house.That is the warehouse and tailoring room of the store. All the dresses and the like sold in the store are made here, and the endless products displayed in the store are also kept here.Having said that, it's not a fancy place as the merchandise is bundled up and there's no way to see it.The house was littered with rags and spare parts left behind from tailoring work, making it messy and dirty. It's Rumelo's job to clean it up. "Here, this is last month's salary." Taking the paybag from Cinderella, Rumelo wept. "Cinderella, what should I say..."

"Why are you crying? You did the work, and getting paid is a matter of course. This way, you can also buy medicine for your sick mother." Rumero nodded.She wanted to say another word of thanks, but she knew that Cinderella would not like to hear it, so she kept silent. The job originally belonged to Cinderella, but she secretly gave her the job when she knew that Rumelo was in trouble because she didn't have a job.It's also a lie to the shop owner.Rumelo's mother was ill, and rumors spread of a vicious contagion, which prevented her daughter from being able to find a place that would employ her.

On the surface, Cinderella was employed in the store, but in fact it was Lumelo who worked, and the salary paid by the store also went to Lumelo through Cinderella.Thanks to this, Rumelo was able to support her mother. "Then I'll be back before twelve o'clock, and I'll leave it to you here." "Well, bag on me. Are you going to deliver tonight too?" "Yes. Because the guest said that he wants to see it tonight anyway." Cinderella said holding the costume box.It is also part of her job to show new products to customers in the store as soon as possible, and she will also pull a carriage from the warehouse from time to time.

The reason why we had to rush back before twelve o'clock was because the guards would come over later.So by then Rumelo must leave and Cinderella must come back. Cinderella held the dress box in her hand, said goodbye and went out. 3 Many aristocrats and wealthy people live on this street, and they hold dances or parties every day, large and small.Most people only go to fixed places, but some people like to travel around.In the final analysis, this kind of person is cruising back and forth in several venues in order to seek ladies. Among the group of partygoers, a woman has become the talk of the moment. That woman appeared in balls and parties everywhere, wearing the most advanced dresses and accessories every time, showing graceful dancing postures, and after capturing the hearts of many male guests, she disappeared into nowhere.Men call her the Masquerade, because she always wears a mask that covers her eyes even though she is not a masquerade ball.Nevertheless, no one doubted that she must be a remarkable beauty. The Masquerade is also at a dance somewhere tonight.Needless to say, the male guests were circling around her, trying to dance with her. "Hey, look at the curve of her waist. If you can get a woman like that, it will be the ultimate enjoyment for a man." The young nobleman whispered to his friend. "Forget it. She seems to only dance with real nobles or rich people. Even if we invite her, we will only end up being rejected outright." "Then poor nobles like us can only hope with our fingers in our eyes? It's too depressing. After all, who the hell is she?" "I don't know. There are rumors that she is a relative of the royal family, or a princess from a foreign country, but they are all groundless speculations. However, she is definitely not an ordinary person, because no matter when she appears, she is always dressed in super high-end clothes." Outfit. Have you seen the ring you are wearing today? I have never seen that diamond before." "All in all, as soon as you see her, you will realize how small you are. --Oh, a new guest is here." The young nobleman looked towards the entrance, immediately bored. "I can't take it anymore, here comes the Three Little Pigs [Note]." "The Three Little Pigs? What's that?" "It's the old loan shark and her two daughters. Because they are married to nobles, they can finally go to such occasions as they wish, but they don't look like fish or fish, and even the people watching them feel embarrassed for them." The young noble looking over there frowned. "Oh, those guys. Although they spend money like water, they don't feel gorgeous, full of nouveau riche taste. Oh, the masked girl is out." "She probably doesn't want to dance in the same place as the Three Little Pigs. Oh, as soon as the masked girl left, the male guests also started to go back." "Let's go back too. Stay here in a daze and be careful to dance with the little pigs." The two young nobles walked towards the exit quickly. 4 It was late at night when Dendera returned home with her two daughters.As soon as she entered the room, the eldest daughter threw the bag out. "Ah, damn it! What is this ball today? As soon as the masked woman returns, all the gentlemen will leave too. There must be a limit to being rude!" "Mother, I will wear a mask next time. In that way, I might be flattered by men just like that woman." Dandra did not respond to the second daughter's proposal, because she felt that it would be futile.Even wearing a mask, it can't hide the fat body and feet. "Cinderella! Hey, Cinderella, where are you?" Dendella called. The door opened, and the stepdaughter appeared, in poorly dressed clothes. "You are back, Mother. My sisters are back too." "It's not that you can't come back. How's the supper? I'm very hungry after the dance. Have you prepared anything to eat?" "Ah... sorry, I'll make a sandwich now." "Don't delay me, do it quickly." Dendella took off the dress and threw it aside, sat down on the chair in her underwear, and started to smoke. "Not to mention the woman, have you heard about the castle ball?" "I heard. It is said that the prince wants to choose a concubine, right?" The eldest daughter's eyes lit up. "This is a rare opportunity. As long as any one of you is elected, you will be the queen sooner or later. I will be the mother of the queen, which is no different from winning the whole country. No matter what method you use, you must seduce the prince." "Mother, I will work hard!" The second daughter tightly clenched her fists in front of her chest. Looking at the appearance of her daughters, Dandela sullenly.According to this virtue, no matter how hard she tried, she might not be chosen by the prince, she thought. "You two, go to the beauty salon for me from tomorrow. Before the dance, you must lose at least ten kilograms... no, twenty kilograms!" "Hey? This can't be done!" The eldest daughter suddenly cried. "Even if you lose two kilograms, that's fine." "Don't be stupid, you can't win the prince's love like that!" Cinderella brought the sandwiches on a tray. "Mother, is what you said just now true? The prince will choose a bride at the next ball..." "It has nothing to do with you." Dendella said firmly and coldly.With the same momentum, she opened the second daughter's hand that was reaching for the plate. "What are you doing? Didn't you hear what I just said? You two will lose weight immediately, and it will be the most powerful hunger strike to lose weight. Until the day of the dance, nothing is allowed to be imported except water. Do you understand?" What—the two daughters were thrown back in fright. "What about this sandwich?" asked the eldest daughter. "Of course I'm here to eat, so you don't need to ask. Hey, Cinderella, why are you in a daze, you'll choke on your throat just eating sandwiches, bring me something to drink quickly." "Okay, right away." Cinderella ran into the kitchen. Dendera wolfed down her sandwich as her two daughters drooled and watched eagerly. 【Note】The Three Little Pigs is a famous fable, the main characters are mother pig and the three little pigs. 5 Cinderella came to Bertero's residence.Bertero was a shoemaker who was related to Cinderella's late mother. "Hey, what did you say? Make a pair of glass shoes?" Bertero opened his eyes wide.Cinderella had asked him to make shoes before, but it was the first time he had specified glass as the material. "Yes, I want a pair of glass shoes for everything. Although there are many shoemakers, you are the only one who can make such shoes, Uncle Bertero, right?" Everyone is happy to be praised so by a beautiful girl, and Bertero is no exception. "That's not a joke. I can't make any shoes. But why do you want glass shoes?" Hearing Bertero's question, Cinderella's beautiful eyes widened. "Before, my uncle once said to me like this: Cinderella, your feet are so small and beautiful, and no one in this world can wear your shoes. But in fact, as long as you press hard, there is no shoe that you can't wear. Even My two older sisters can also push their big feet into my shoes. But after taking them off, the shoes are so deformed that they can't recognize their original appearance. So uncle, I want a pair that only I can wear in the world The shoes. The shoes have to fit my feet so seamlessly that no one else can fit them. To do that, you have to use a material that doesn’t deform? So I think glass is fine.” Bertero understood her thoughts.Indeed, leather or cloth shoes have room for expansion and contraction, and wooden shoes can be easily changed. "That's the thing, I understand. Well, let me do it." "Thank you, uncle. I like you the most!" Cinderella kissed Bertero's cheek. Betero started taking samples of her feet a little shyly. 6 The day of the ball at the castle has come. The prince began to dress up without interest, and his displeased expression was reflected in the big mirror. Frankly, he doesn't want to get married yet.He enjoys his single life with all kinds of women, and feels that once he gets married, he will be bound and free. But the prince's parents, that is, the king and queen, talked all day long, as if they wanted to let the son who was bothered to settle down. "Prince, the ball has started, please move to the venue." The attendant came to report. "Tch, I'm in trouble." The prince lazily stood up. The venue gathered carefully selected girls from all over the country. They danced lightly, and the scene was like a flower garden, swaying and swaying. "Hmph, it seems that they are all beauties." The prince glanced around and sat down on the chair prepared on the stage. Beauty alone won't impress me, the prince thought to himself.There must be other charms.The most important condition is to be able to make oneself desire to have her, to be able to make her heart beat. The prince looked at the girls, opened his eyes suddenly, and said to the attendant next to him, "Hey, who is that?" "Ah? Which girl are you talking about?" asked the attendant, wondering if the prince had already taken a fancy to a certain girl. "Those two over there are fat female duo who don't dance, but eat voraciously, next to the pillar." "Oh, that's..." The attendant looked at the list of participants. "Those are Mrs. Dendera's two daughters." "Boom out!" The attendant agreed to go and ordered the guards to take the two fat girls out of the venue. "Huh? Why are we the only ones who have to leave?" "Let me have another bite of cake!" The prince watched the two being blasted away, sighed, and looked around the field again.Soon, his sight stopped in one place.There was a girl there who was totally different from the other girls. Just like before, the prince asked the attendant about the girl's background. The attendant looked at the list and tilted his head puzzled. "The list only says 'Daughter of the Mask', and the origin is unknown." "Daughter of the mask." She is indeed wearing a mask, but she looks very different from other girls, but it's not just because of the mask.The temperament emanating from her whole body attracted the prince. The prince ordered his attendants to summon the girl to him. In the astonishment of all eyes, the prince began to dance with the masked girl.She is also very skilled at dancing. "I hope to know more about you, let's go to another room." The prince whispered in her ear. A bed was placed in another room. The so-called "hope to know you" means that I want to make love with you.The masked girl didn't resist either, and took off her clothes, but still wore the mask. "Why don't you let me see your face?" asked the prince. "Because the prince is tired of looking at the beauty, right? It doesn't matter if you can't see the face." The masked girl replied. The prince thought to himself, what he said was true, and decided to start making love.He changes his mind and decides that sex with a masked woman isn't bad. But that's the end of the prince's ease.At the beginning of making love, he is completely passive.The skill of the masked girl is so sublime, even the prince who has had countless daughters has never tasted this kind of ecstasy. The prince felt as if in a dream, when the fifth ejaculation was finished, a bell sounded from somewhere. The Masked Girl jumped up from the bed. "Oops, it's twelve o'clock!" "It's still early." "I can't stay any longer. Goodbye, Darling. Your skills are not bad." As she spoke, she kissed the prince's face, put on her dress neatly, and left the room like a breeze. The prince was in a daze for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and got up. This is because he found that he didn't even know the identity of the girl.He hurriedly put on his clothes, left the room, found the attendant and asked, "Where is the masked girl?" "I went back in a carriage just now." The prince returned to the room dejectedly.He decided that was the best woman, the woman he was looking for.But I don't know who she is, and I can't find her. At this time, the dejected prince saw a clue.Needless to say, glass shoes. 7 Finding Cinderella didn't take long.Soldiers called the Bride Discovery Team took glass slippers and went door to door visiting homes with young girls. Knowing that as long as they can put on these shoes, they can become the prince's bride, many girls try their best to put them on, but no one can get in. Dendera's two daughters even had their feet liposuctioned, but they still couldn't fit. Then finally it was Cinderella's turn.At first people refused to let her try it on, but she insisted on wearing it to see, and the result was perfect. Here's what she said about it-- "I am indeed the daughter of the mask, but because the real me is so shabby and I don't want to disappoint His Royal Highness, so I didn't report my identity." Her confession surprised Dendera and her two sisters.But the one who was most surprised was his father Mimorel.He couldn't believe that his daughter would appear at the ball in a beautiful dress and a carriage, because he knew she didn't have that much money. "Well, you won't believe me if I tell you." Cinderella explained in advance.The reasons she gave were indeed unbelievable. According to Cinderella, everything was prepared by a magician.The dresses and accessories are all conjured by magic. As for the carriage, it was originally a pumpkin and a mouse. Mimorel thought to himself, how could such a thing happen, but he could only believe it. But he still has a question.Since the magic will expire at twelve o'clock and you have to leave in a hurry, why didn't the glass slipper disappear? When Mimorel asked about this, Cinderella always gave vague answers. Forget it, it's not a big deal. --Thinking of this, Mimorel looked at her daughter's figure in a wedding dress. The wedding between Cinderella and the prince is about to begin today, and Cinderella looks more beautiful than usual. Aristocrats and people from the financial circles from all over the country gathered at the wedding, which can be called the most luxurious wedding ceremony in the world. But the bride's family is only Mimorel, stepmother Dandela and stepsister are not present.Because Mimorel had divorced Dandela, which was suggested to him by Cinderella. "Their tasks have been completed, give them some money and let them go, father." Mimorel did what he said, and although Dendera was reluctant, he immediately gave up resistance after being pressured by the royal family. For Mimorel, being able to divorce Dandela is a great joy.Originally, he was not interested in remarrying Dendera, knowing that this woman had a bad heart, and he also saw her two daughters bullying Cinderella. Despite this, he still remarried with Dandela, due to Cinderella's persuasion. "Father, the most important thing in this world is money. If you feel against marrying a woman, then just marry her money. If you marry Dandela, you don't have to worry about your livelihood, or else How long, I will seize the opportunity to show them." "But those three people will definitely bully you. I don't want you to be unhappy." Hearing what Mimorel said, Cinderella smiled slightly and replied. "That's nothing. Sooner or later, I will become the heroine of the legend, and the heroine must have one or two tragedies to be called collectively." The wedding has finally begun.Amid the blessings of everyone, the prince and Cinderella exchanged their marriage vows.Mimorel stared at the scene while applauding. Cinderella turned her face to the crowd, a smile played on her lips.Mimorel pondered the meaning of that smile. (Finish)
