Chapter 537: Dark Childhood Stories Are Not Lack of Cinderella (2)
When the heroine was sixteen years old, the Duchess went on a journey and brought back her new wife Catherine, and her daughters Anna and Sophie.
That is the original owner.
The original owner had a dual personality. Anna liked green and Sophie liked red. The two were always quarreling and could never reach an agreement on clothes.
Ella's boring life finally ushered in new joy.
She never tired of teasing her sister, stirring up trouble between Anna and Sophie, and using various methods to bring out the original owner's stupidity and viciousness to the fullest.
Everyone in the city knows that the Duke has a mean stepdaughter.
Miss Ella is beautiful and intelligent, strong and brave, kind and good.
The Duke's second wife had a bad reputation and word of mouth. While the Duke was around, she did not dare to treat her stepdaughter harshly, but for some reason, rumors spread that she forced Ella to do heavy work at home to serve her and her daughter.
Ella was very happy about this.
When she was eighteen, the Duke was going on a long journey again. While picking mushrooms in the woods, Ella met the groom who had an affair with her mother.
Ella tearfully accused her father of what he had done in the past, saying that he had killed her mother and sister with his own hands. The coachman was determined to take revenge and chased after the Duke's cavalry.
The next news that came back was the news of the Duke's death.
At this point in the story, Gu Zhen was completely shocked. It seemed that everyone was a villain.
Needless to say, the heroine, Ella, is as good as the other, no wonder Gu Zhen felt so uncomfortable just now.
But there are still many doubts, such as why the new wife chosen for the prince every year dies mysteriously?
[After the funeral, the selection of concubines began. According to age, Miss Ella and the original owner were both eighteen years old, and both met the requirements...]
But Ella was not stupid. She knew that once a woman went to that majestic, solemn, luxurious and wealthy castle, she would never return.
There were many people in the city who thought the same as her. Since the first two years, some people had used various means to avoid the prince's selection of a princess.
Either you gain weight on purpose so that your feet can’t fit into the crystal shoes, or you pretend to be ugly, or you get married early.
But the crystal shoes are just a gimmick. If the prince takes a fancy to you, he will naturally use all kinds of ways to force you to compromise.
The selection of concubines is about to begin. The people in the city are in a panic. They are racking their brains to save their daughters from disaster. However, there are also people who are willing to sell their daughters for wealth and glory.
After all, the prince gave too much.
Although the original owner's mother, Catherine, was not someone who would sell her daughter for fame and fortune, she had only been married to the Duke for two years and had devoted herself to eating, drinking and having fun, so she didn't know much about these things.
Catherine only knew that if her daughter married the prince, she would have endless gold and silver treasures to enjoy for the rest of her life. The Duke was already dead, and such a large estate must have a strong backer.
She dressed her daughter carefully, hoping that the prince would fall in love with her beautiful Anna or Sophie at the ball.
Catherine also did not forget her stepdaughter Ella. She was so beautiful that it made people jealous. After the Duke left, Catherine openly treated Ella harshly and naturally would not let her go to the ball.
Ella was just dreaming. The day before the dance, her stepmother openly insulted her and forbade her to attend the dance. She pretended to be sad and ran away.
The servants in the manor felt sorry for Miss Ella who had lost her father and mother, but they did not dare to offend the new Duchess. They could only shake their heads secretly and try to do more work for Miss Ella.
Ella hummed a song all the way and walked briskly into the grove she often went to, but she didn't expect to meet the prince who was out hunting in casual clothes.
Prince Ian is tall and handsome, with blue eyes like the ocean, so deep that one cannot look away. He is alone, riding a horse in the woods, like a god descending to earth.
Ella fell in love with him at first sight.
The prince also stared at Ella, who was as beautiful as a forest elf, with the same eyes as he looked at his prey.
He became playful and chatted gently with Ella. The two of them had a great time talking and started talking about tomorrow's Prince Choosing Ball.
When Ian learned that Ella was not willing to be the prince's wife, he narrowed his eyes. This was not the result he wanted.
Ian returned to the castle, walked around the huge mural behind the throne, followed the winding stairs, and knocked on the door of a secret room.
The next day at the ball, Catherine took the original owner in a carriage, dressed up brightly and beautifully, like two proud peacocks, eager to go to the ball to compete with each other.
After they left, Ella sneered, but when she turned around, she was suddenly startled.
There was a kind-looking old lady standing behind her. She appeared silently, making Ella feel uneasy.
The old lady's smile was kind, but it made Ella shudder. She asked Ella why she didn't go to the ball. Did she not want to be the wife of the most outstanding prince, or was she unwilling to contribute her strength as a citizen to this city-state?
Ella didn't understand and ran away.
The old lady took out a crooked black branch from behind her back and transformed herself into a witch in a cloak. She muttered something and a ball of golden light flashed from the branch and hit Ella's back directly.
Ella was forced to turn around, and was surprised to find that her gray and inconspicuous skirt had turned into a dazzling and luxurious dress!
The cascading golden skirt, all made of silk and dotted with gems, did not make her feel heavy, but rather light.
Ella frantically tried to remove the beautiful but potentially deadly dress, but to no avail; she could not resist the power of magic.
The witch looked at her with a smile, and with a flick of her wand, Ella looked brand new from head to toe.
She also turned the mice and lizards in the fields into servants, who followed her with a whip and drove Ella, forcing her to run quickly to the castle.
Without shoes, Ella's white and tender feet were soon covered with blood and stains.
She didn't dare stop and could only run as fast as she could.
The witch's words came from far behind: "Go, go and get your crystal shoes back."
Ella rushed into the ball, as panic-stricken as a deer that had strayed into the crowd. When the prince saw her coming, he gave her a sinister smile.
Without a doubt, the most beautiful woman tonight is Ella.
Stepmother Catherine and the original owner were so jealous that they gnashed their teeth. They watched the prince kneel on one knee in front of Ella and put the sparkling crystal shoes on her with his own hands.
The blood on Ella's feet stained the crystal shoes, but the prince was unaware and pulled her to dance in the center of the field.
At this time she also recognized that the prince was the man who was hunting in the woods last night.
Knowing that she was in bad luck, Ella had no choice but to accompany the prince.
The clock struck twelve at midnight, the ball ended, a new princess was born, and everyone left.
The magic dissipated, and Ella turned back into the dusty but still beautiful Cinderella.
But the crystal shoes are always there.
The prince kissed her affectionately: "Are you ready, my wife?"
