[Cinderella] Prince go away

After leaving Cinderella's room, Rebecca hurriedly left the mansion and walked towards the cemetery.

Neither the Marquis of Gutenberg nor Cinderella have the hobby of going to the cemetery in the middle of the night, so the road leading to the cemetery is full of darkness and gloom, not to mention the shadows of lighting tools - this road in the daytime The path that seemed secluded was now covered in darkness.

Rebecca, who just walked hurriedly on this dark path, didn't bring any lighting tools—in fact, she didn't have the habit of carrying lighting tools with her; After entering Cinderella's room, she rushed here directly, and it is impossible for her to run to get the candles.

But the darkness couldn't stop Rebecca.

The darkness everywhere was nothing to Rebecca, and the small rustling sound brought by the evening wind caressing the leaves did not disturb Rebecca.Rebecca, who was wearing high heels and home clothes, walked vigorously towards her destination. If it weren't for her calm expression, it would really make people think that she was chasing a bear behind her.

No, in fact, Rebecca at this moment is not at all peaceful.

She suppressed all her anger and other emotions in her heart, and all she could think about was getting to Ogwila's cemetery as soon as possible.

At this moment, Rebecca wants to see Ogwila more urgently than she has ever been—although she knows that this is already impossible, but even just staring at her tombstone is better than herself Alone in a gorgeous but hopeless room.

This small path that she has walked countless times since she married into the Gutenberg family, even though it was immersed in the darkness, did not hinder Rebecca in any way.She groped to Ogwila's face smoothly, without even any pause, and then quietly looked at the tombstone of the person she cherished most in her life under the faint moonlight, without speaking for a long time.

After hearing Cinderella's words today, the darkness that had been suppressed in her heart all this time emerged completely uncontrollably.

She clearly knows how her words and actions may hurt Cinderella, and may even directly destroy Cinderella's affection for her in the past few months, turning her respect into disgust—but Rebecca Even if he knew it, he still couldn't restrain himself.

He couldn't stop himself from saying hurtful things like that, and he couldn't stop himself from locking Cinderella in the room.

Because compared to Cinderella's hatred, she is more afraid of the same "future" happening again.

——the future she saw after picking up her crystal staff again.

Back then, she couldn't stop Ogwila from going towards self-destruction-yes, Rebecca still thinks that Ogwila's behavior back then was wrong, even stupid.But she couldn't stop the other party's stupidity, so she chose to accompany Ogwila to perish together.

And the end of this self-destruction is that she hurt Cinderella, who is the descendant of Ogwila, at "then".Just like she couldn't restrain her emotions just now, it hurt her.But when she finally regretted and wanted to make up, she found it was too late.

Gentle Cinderella regards her as a stranger, neither love nor hate.

Finally, Cinderella, who married the prince, ushered in her death.

Rebecca clenched her hands tightly into fists, and when she thought of the future she saw, she couldn't restrain her hatred—even if she knew that she had chosen darkness once, she should remain calm, otherwise One day I will be eroded by darkness.

but……

"But you still can't keep your cool, can you?"

A soft female voice suddenly sounded in the quiet and gloomy cemetery, and appeared behind Rebecca at the same time with a bright light. Wearing a white fluffy long dress, the woman with golden curly hair turned towards Rebecca. Ka took a few steps closer, not caring that his behavior might frighten the other party.

In fact, Rebecca would not be frightened by her actions. She even stared quietly at Ogwila's tombstone as if she hadn't heard the other party's voice, her face was gloomy but her eyes were still so gentle.

"Think about it, Rebecca." Not caring about the other party's silence, Elise seemed to have gotten used to the other party's indifference, and then continued on her own, "This is something that will happen sooner or later. Did you way to resist."

Rebecca finally reacted when she heard the words.

She turned her head slowly—as if her whole body was about to stiffen—and looked at Elise, her eyes, which were always bright, were like a pool of stagnant water at this moment, and even that delicate face was rigid Bo, "I won't let that happen again."

"Who told you it's the end?" It's not the first time Elise saw Rebecca like this, but what happened after seeing her like this last time, Elise really didn't dare to think about it, "I am It is said that the encounter between Cinderella and the prince was destined to happen in the dark."

Rebecca didn't answer her. Seeing this, Elise quickly opened her mouth, fearing that if she was one step too late, Rebecca would make another amazing move, and even if everything could be saved, the most ominous ending would be ushered in up.

"I mean it was fate that they met."

For the first time Elise hated her clumsy tongue.

She doesn't have Rebecca's aura of fighting against a hundred, nor does she have the aura of Ogwila who can attract others without saying anything, but at this moment, even if she feels that she can't explain clearly, she still has to bite the bullet and continue. go on.

"Ogwila said that people are drawn by fate," Elise didn't know whether to mention Ogwila at this moment, but her name could attract all of Rebecca's attention This is enough, "The thread connecting Cinderella and the prince has existed since early in the morning, not after an untimely encounter."

I don't know if it was Elise's delusion. After hearing what she said, Rebecca's breath, which seemed to be brewing, suddenly became much calmer, so she made persistent efforts and continued to persuade:

"Their encounter is an inevitable result, even if you are by Cinderella's side all the time, you can't change what is destined to happen," Elise felt that all her eloquence and brains in her life were used at this time.

But if she didn't persuade Rebecca now, she really doubted whether news of the prince's death would come from the kingdom tomorrow.

She believed that with Rebecca's current state of mind and strength, it was absolutely possible to do this.

And it will not leave any traces and handles.

But what will happen to Rebecca after doing this is beyond Elise's ability or even willingness to imagine.

"But <now> is very different from the <future> we see."

In any case, she still needs to stabilize Rebecca—after all, Rebecca now ignores many things because of her grief and anger, who was originally clearer than herself, "It's like you in "That Future" You abused Cinderella in all kinds of ways, but now you treat her like your own daughter."

"You are no longer the same as you, and Cinderella is not the Cinderella in <That Future>."

Elise took a step forward and gently wrapped her arms around her only living friend, and her tone became more and more gentle, as if she was trying to persuade a child who had gone astray.

"A lot of things are predestined, but that doesn't mean they can't be changed at all, right? <That Cinderella> changed you, made <that you> repent, and you who repented also reversed the time Everything is back to the original. You see, the change has already happened, so you don't have to worry about whether Cinderella will have that ending again."

And as far as she is concerned, Cinderella did not have a good impression of the prince like <that she>.

Cinderella in "That Future" was oppressed by Rebecca for a long time after she married in, and later lost her father, which made her change from a noble lady to a maid.Due to various external factors, she developed a good impression of the only prince who could save her from the sea of ​​suffering—after all, a handsome and prestigious man fits the ideal of many young women for a partner.

But it’s different now. Rebecca loves her just like she loves her own child. Even if Cinderella doesn’t call her mother, she at least treats her as a respectable elder, and the Marquis of Gutenberg also still alive.

Even though Cinderella, who started to accept the nobility course, is still naive and does not understand the twists and turns of the royal family, she also understands that princes are not the only ones who can be excellent partners, and she has many choices.

Cinderella, who has become different from the <past>, met the prince who was not a gentleman under such circumstances today, and Elise didn't think she would have any fantasies about the prince.

——This simply doesn’t even have good feelings.

There is no need to beat the drum with a heavy hammer. Although Elise did not express all her thoughts, it did not hinder the understanding of Rebecca, who was always the best student in the college, especially at this time. In his persuasion, he has already regained his usual calmness and rationality.

"...For the first time, I feel that your long-windedness and troublesomeness are not useless."

Rebecca hugged Elise, not particularly hard, and even withdrew her hand immediately, and then struggled away from the other's embrace, "But thank you anyway, Elise, without you If you persuade me, maybe I will really do something impulsive tonight."

Elise: "..."

It was great of her to come out when she saw something was wrong!

"Just kidding," Rebecca finally smiled seeing her friend's expressions and movements becoming stiff, but this smile didn't make Elise feel relaxed, and even felt more nervous.

Rebecca saw this stupid picture of her friend in her eyes, and knew that it was because the other party didn't laugh at her as usual after worrying about her—after all, she really planned to do "stupid things" just now, and she really didn't have the qualifications Go to laugh at your friend to comfort yourself, "Don't worry, I've figured it out."

Elise was relieved when she found out that Rebecca had really figured it out, and she said unceremoniously to her friend, "You're just a little too paranoid, although it's not a bad thing, but sometimes it hurts yourself."

All these years she had been worried that Rebecca's situation would deteriorate, but now it seemed that it was great to have Cinderella.

Although there are also risks, but Rebecca should not have any problems after she figured it out.

"I didn't expect that I would be preached by you one day." Rebecca moved the corner of her mouth, "But it turns out that you are not talking all stupid things."

"...Your mouth is still the same," Elise felt relieved when she saw that Rebecca had returned to her usual appearance, but she still reminded the other party, "Aren't you going to see Cinderella? Some things can Don't put it off until tomorrow if you settle it tonight."

One night is enough time for Cinderella to think about many things, and she doesn't want the relationship between Rebecca and Cinderella to deteriorate.

Rebecca was taken aback for a moment, but finally nodded.

"I see."
