Dark Fairy Tale: Tyrant, Conquer Cinderella at the Beginning

The first ray of dawn illuminated the castle, and Richard opened his eyes.

The girl in his arms was still sleeping, obviously after a hard battle, and her messy bangs seemed to tell the blood and cruelty of the battlefield.

Richard got out of bed and opened the curtains.

The sunlight seemed to be released like a spirit, pouring into the room along the window lattice and pounced on Cinderella.

Cinderella’s skin was illuminated by the sun, and a faint golden light appeared.

Richard stood by the window and looked back at this scene, and was suddenly a little shocked.

The scene in front of him was really as fantastic as a fairy tale.

Is it because she is the protagonist of the fairy tale world, so she is different from other women?

However, after thinking about the war last night, the battlefield commander Richard nodded immediately.

Yes, it is indeed different!

Perhaps it was because she heard the sound of Richard pulling the curtains, or perhaps it was because the sunlight changed the temperature of her body, Cinderella’s pupils under her eyelids moved, and then she gently opened her eyes.

Although she had experienced negative distance contact last night, when she saw the scene in front of her, her cheeks instantly turned red like peaches ripened by the sun.

Then, she forced herself to calm down, propped herself up and sat up, and bowed slightly to Richard.

Richard smiled and said in a calm tone:

“From today on, you are the head maid of the Eagle Castle. Stay in the castle and serve me.”

“Yes! Lord Viscount!”

Cinderella blinked her eyes and bowed her head to accept the position:

“It’s just that Ella is not familiar with the castle and has never been a head maid before, so she is worried whether she can do the job!”

Richard walked up to her, reached out to take a piece of clothing from the bedside, and casually put it on Cinderella.

This simple action immediately made Cinderella feel surrounded by a great sense of security, and she immediately nodded and said:

“Thank you, Lord Viscount. Please rest assured that Ella will study hard and do everything for you!”

Richard was originally preparing to say something encouraging, but he didn’t expect that the girl would cheer herself up, which saved him a lot of effort.

After all, Richard was very satisfied with Cinderella. If she could become the head maid by his side, at least he would be able to feel the pleasing happiness.

And based on his understanding of Cinderella’s character, her reaction in front of him was indeed in line with his own cognition.

She can quickly accept all changes, can quickly adapt to various environments, is positive and determined, and has no lack of courage for challenging things.

Such a person is indeed not just a vase, but also a person who can do things.

Perhaps, she will be a rare smart and capable person among these men in the castle.

“Well, I hope you won’t let me down!”

“I will definitely not let you down!”

Ella became more and more natural in front of Richard.

Richard was satisfied and turned to the window to bask in the sunshine.

Richard had no worries about his decision to keep Cinderella and her identity.

According to the fairy tale, although Cinderella’s father was a count, he was already dead.

Even if he was still alive, he was just a business count, a count in name only.

And he himself was a powerful viscount with fiefdom.

The name was just an honor.

As a businessman, to be able to get the title of count basically meant donating a lot of money and materials to the royal family to help them in times of crisis. To put it bluntly, it was to buy the title with resources at the right time.

And such an honorary count, in Richard’s eyes, From the perspective of such a powerful family, they are completely not on the same level.

Ordinary people may envy them, but in their eyes, even if they work hard for several generations, their family may not necessarily have the opportunity to obtain a powerful baron, let alone a viscount.

Just like no matter how good the relationship between a businessman and the court is, it is impossible for him to truly become a frontier official, and a general is not comparable to the so-called big businessman.

Even if Cinderella’s father was not dead, he would only be secretly happy to see that his daughter had the opportunity to be the head maid in the viscount’s territory. And what Richard was probably worried about was whether the other party would take the opportunity to find an opportunity to get close to him. To be honest, he really didn’t like that family. If there was a chance, it was not impossible to get rid of them.

……

At this time, more and more people from the territory were gathering outside the castle.

These people were wearing sackcloth, their hair was dry and they were dirty.

Some people had chicken manure on their heads, which was commonplace, after all, many chicken farmers lived in the same house with their chickens.

Some people scratched their ears and cheeks, talking to the people next to them while shaking their hair to catch fleas.

There were also people who brought their children and let them poop in public. The people around them didn’t care about the smell. It can only be said that there was too much feces on the ground, and everyone was integrated into it and got used to it.

If Richard were to evaluate, they would definitely look like a group of refugees.

But even such people felt that they were city people, of course, this was relative to people living in remote villages.

It is human nature to be inferior to the best but better than the worst.

And these people dare not compare themselves to the best, so they naturally compare themselves with the country people outside the territory.

Happiness, in many cases, is compared.

Even Richard was like this, otherwise he would not have repeatedly disliked this world because of his memories of his previous life.

As time went by, more and more people appeared in the square.

People gathered in twos and threes, talking to people they knew or didn’t know, with different expressions, but the only thing in common was the worry in their eyes.

“What do you think? Is the Lord calling everyone together to establish his authority or to increase taxes?”

“It’s fine to establish authority, as long as you don’t use us as an example, but if you increase taxes……”

“Alas! We already have a lot of taxes now, right? If we increase taxes, how can we survive?”

“Spirits bless you! I hope everything will go well!”

“No matter who blesses them, it is useless. If adults want to ensure a high-quality life, how can they not scrape the ground three times? What’s more, you can imagine that our adults are young and may want more enjoyment. Who knows what will happen!”

“What should we do?

Everyone was talking at once, all worried.

Everyone was discussing very enthusiastically, and it seemed that they could just keep discussing like this.

No one cared when the Lord would show up, the later the better.

People always hope that bad things will happen later, even if they know they will definitely happen.
