[Cinderella] Prince go away

Such a surprise made Cinderella subconsciously cover her mouth.

Although when she saw the dress she was wearing and the note, she had already guessed what surprise would be waiting for her - but she never thought that this surprise would be like this...

Surprisingly.

This made Cinderella didn't even know how to react for a while.

On one side, Cinderella was so moved by the unexpected joy that she seemed to forget her words, on the other side, the faces of the people who were waiting for Cinderella's arrival in the living room were all full of smiles.

Relief, kindness, and of course, joy because of the success of this surprise that I personally created.

"Cinderella, happy birthday!"

The twins said to their younger sister again in unison. As the eldest sister, An Ti even stepped forward and pulled Cinderella, who was standing at the door, as if she didn't know how to react, into the living room.

"Father, Mrs. Rebecca..." Cinderella looked around the room at her elders with a smile on her face, and then looked at the two sisters who were already standing on either side of her, "Sister An Ti, Sister Tana... "

There was even a little imperceptible choking in her tone.

"Thank you...thank you."

Cinderella thanked them from the bottom of her heart—the relatives who brought her such a big surprise.

In fact, Cinderella still remembers that when she was young, her father and the maids at home once told herself that on the day she was born, her mother suffered more severe pain and torture than ordinary women during childbirth. It can even be said that It took all her strength to give birth to her.

Although her father and mother always celebrated her birthday when she was a child-her gentle mother would show her skills every year and make arrangements for the whole family, Cinderella has always remembered the day she was born , It was the day when my mother suffered.

So every birthday, when her parents say "Happy Birthday" to herself, she will also say "Thank you for letting me be born" to her mother.

But then, her mother died.

In a winter that was colder than previous years, she left them forever with her and her father's company.

After losing her mother, although Cinderella took good care of herself and her father according to her mother's last words, and treated people around her kindly, but the annual birthday does not seem to be that important to Cinderella It's over.

Every birthday after the death of her mother until today, Cinderella just had a good meal with her father as usual—the only difference was that the meal was more substantial than usual; A bouquet of flowers was laid on the mother's grave, and there was no other activity.

For Cinderella, if it wasn't for the presence of her only relative, her father, at the dinner table, the sumptuous dishes on the table might not be as good as the bouquet of flowers she gave to her mother.

Cinderella's father, the Marquis of Gutenberg, also seemed to understand Cinderella's feelings, so after that, he didn't make any big arrangements for Cinderella's birthday every year except for preparing a gift.

After all, in Cinderella's heart, the only function of her birthday is to thank her mother.

——Rather than wishing myself another year older.

Although the Marquis of Gutenberg had nothing to do about this, he finally decided to respect Cinderella's wishes.

But this year is different from usual, because this year the family has ushered in a new member - Mrs. Rebecca and her pair of daughters.

Although in Cinderella's heart, Mrs. Rebecca can't be compared with her own mother-perhaps never; but the Marquis of Gutenberg also saw that Mrs. Rebecca didn't mind this, and he even felt that if Cinderella has never been able to forget her mother, and Rebecca will be even happier.

As for the pair of daughters brought by Rebecca—Anti and Tana, after the conflict between them and Cinderella was resolved, the Marquis of Gutenberg also felt that they could become Cinderella's closest sisters and friends.

Even with their own standpoint, they can easily do things that no one else can do.

Like now.

Today's birthday party is only for Cinderella.

The Marquis of Gutenberg knew that neither his own position nor Rebecca's position could hold it for Cinderella, who was subconsciously resisting this matter; but An Ti and Tana were different.

They don't know what Cinderella thinks about this matter, they only know that today is their younger sister's birthday, and they must take care of it as older sisters.

Maybe there will be surprises in store for Cinderella until she gets married (and maybe even after).

And for Cinderella, who likes her two sisters very much, she will definitely not resist the kindness of An Ti and Tana.

(Wouldn't that be nice.)

The Marquis of Gutenberg looked at Cinderella who came down to the center of the living room surrounded by Anti and Tana, and the gratified smile on his face deepened.

But at the same time, the Marquis of Gutenberg found that he was actually a little jealous of Antioch and Tana for being able to easily do what he had always wanted to do, but was unable to do because of Cinderella's feelings.

Of course, such jealousy is really only a little bit.

"Happy birthday, Cinderella."

The Marquis of Gutenberg, like An Ti and Tana, once again—also alone sent Cinderella his father's blessing.Looking at the smiling face of the Marquis of Gutenberg, Cinderella realized that many wrinkles had appeared on her father's face unconsciously.

"dad……"

Cinderella didn't know what to say for a while, and under this complicated emotion, she also used the name she called her father when she was a child when her mother hadn't left.

The Marquis of Gutenberg was also taken aback after hearing Cinderella's response, and then found that his eye sockets seemed a little moist.

My daughter has been sensible and obedient since she was a child, but after her mother passed away, she seldom acted like a baby to herself because she was too sensible. Although it is good to have a sensible daughter, the Marquis of Gutenberg sometimes felt that There was a little less intimacy between their father and daughter.

This is probably the "sweet burden" that the housekeeper Sebastian once said after hearing his slightly complaining complaint?

The Marquis of Gutenberg opened his arms towards his daughter. In the eyes of others, this strict Mr. Marquis, who was so strict that he could even be said to be a bit boring, would turn into a mature man's "" Stupid dad".

Perhaps only his dead wife and only daughter can make his emotions easily exposed.

"Happy birthday."

Marquis Gutenberg, who always didn't know what to do in front of his daughter, also didn't know what to say, so he could only repeat what he had said before.

At the same time when the Marquis of Gutenberg opened his arms, Cinderella, who had already thrown herself into her father's arms, also had tears in her eyes. She buried her head in her father's arms, enjoying the joy that seemed to be a long time ago. Father's arms, and then gave his own response.

"Thank you, Dad."

Both Cinderella and the Marquis of Gutenberg knew that Cinderella's feelings at this time were far more complicated than what others saw.

She also didn't know how much her father had thought about and done for her until recently.

Whether it is what she knows or does not know; what she has seen or has not seen.

The Marquis of Gutenberg has made too many plans for his only daughter. For Cinderella, this thank you is not enough to express his gratitude; but for the Marquis Gutenberg, this thank you has already I feel satisfied.

As if remembering that there were other people present, Cinderella wiped away her tears and left the arms of Marquis Gutenberg, and after Cinderella wiped away all the tears, Marquis Gutenberg asked the butler to come up with a gift for Cinderella. Pull ready gifts.

He handed the rectangular wooden box with a bow tie to Cinderella's hand, and then urged Cinderella with expectant eyes, "Open it and have a look."

In fact, Cinderella thinks that as long as it is given by her father, it is good.

However, when she pulled the ribbon off the box and opened the wooden box, which looked exquisite at first glance, she was still stunned by what was inside, "This is..."

Inside the wooden box is a three-piece set consisting of a necklace, earrings and a ring.

In other words, from necklaces to earrings to rings, they are all made of aquamarines of the same color and clarity.

"Aquamarine has powerful healing and purification abilities," Marquis Gutenberg saw the hesitation in his daughter's eyes, and then explained slowly, "Wearing aquamarine can make people have foresight and enhance their ability to express themselves. The most important thing is ..."

"This set of gems matches your gown very well."

The Marquis of Gutenberg picked up the necklace, and put it on Cinderella awkwardly but carefully. Finally, he returned to Cinderella, looking at him wearing a blue dress and a necklace made of aquamarine. Cinderella smiled with satisfaction.

"Sure enough, just as I thought, you look very good wearing this necklace, and you look very much like your mother."

Hearing her father's words, Cinderella wanted to touch the necklace subconsciously, and then remembered what Antioch and Tana had said "It's best not to touch precious gems directly with your hands", so she raised her hand again. Put it down, "Mother, she..."

"Go and see Ogwila later."

Marquis Gutenberg stroked Cinderella's hair, and continued her words.

"She'll be happy."
