Contradictory Cinderella


 




There once lived a prosperous household.

She was in a happy home with her parents.

Although they were an extremely contented family, her mother eventually passed away.

The young girl was quite dejected.

After some time had passed and the daughter's happiness had returned, her father made the decision to get remarried.

Despite having conflicting emotions, the daughter agreed because it was for her father's benefit.

It appears that since both the woman who was remarried and she had recently lost her husband had a good relationship.

She has two daughters as well.


The stepmother and two stepsisters increased and the father-daughter two-person household suddenly became a family of five.

The two sisters and the stepmother... indulged the daughter.


What a sweet child, I say.

The stepmother is quite delighted to have a second daughter.


"If you dress her in lovely clothes, she'll definitely turn into a princess!"

The prospect of putting her sister up in a lovely costume enthralls the elder stepsister.



You can call me Onee-chan.


A younger sister seemed to make the younger stepsister happy.

The daughter was a little overwhelmed but relieved to meet the new family, who were friendlier than I had anticipated.


But in this situation, I'm a little concerned about Bezon-san.


After making fun of her stepdaughter with her daughters, the stepmother remarked as much while adopting a solemn expression.

There was a minor issue at the time in this nation.


It concerns this nation's prince.

This nation's prince has great talent.

He displayed the intelligence that earned him the title of prodigy from a young age.

He swiftly excelled after starting to learn how to handle the sword and is currently among the best in the nation.

With a history of effective policies, he has already taken up a portion of the king's duties.


Many individuals asserted that if the prince marries, the nation will be secure.

The prince, who had never been engaged, at some time started seeking for a wife for various reasons, maybe in an effort to answer such solicitations.

The prince's search for a bride was a touch unorthodox, though.




"It makes no difference what your social standing or familial background is. I'll accept her as my wife if I can see her with my own eyes and determine that she is the right one.


After making this declaration, the prince began to call young, attractive women to the royal castle as potential spouses, regardless of whether they were genuinely of low social standing or poor.


At first, everyone was content.

The poor family sent their daughter off with a grin, promising her a good life if she resided in the royal castle and happiness if she was chosen as a wife.

If your daughter is acknowledged by the prince, it is an honor, regardless of your wealth or social standing.

However, once their daughters left for the royal castle and they didn't hear anything from them, they started to feel uneasy.

The prince's bride candidate pool keeps growing in the absence of any updates from the daughters who visited the castle.

An incident happened as individuals started to get more and more alarmed.


A daughter who was requested to visit the royal castle as a potential wife has come back.

The young woman was covered in bruising all over her body. She was frightened and demanded to know what had occurred in the royal castle.

After that, the daughter of Every Family gradually started to fear receiving an invitation to the royal castle.

The prince will treat you poorly if you visit the royal castle. Such rumors became around.

Families with small girls started to decline royal castle invitations.

They then began to act in a drastic manner.

To select a prince's bride for the nation, the rebels are captured, the knights arrive, and the girl is forcibly taken away.


The prince notices a young, pretty female, but in the end she was also abducted.

The prince was perfect, save for finding a bride, and no one could stop him.




"They would definitely take my daughter to the castle if they knew I have such a beautiful daughter," said the woman.

Concerned, the stepmother said.


"Even if I dress you in shabby clothes on purpose, I think you'll stand out because you have a nice face," the person said.


My senior stepsister was in distress.



"Hmm. How about saying this, then?

The younger sister-in-law had a brilliant idea.


She then rummaged through her unpacked baggage and pulled something out.


It's here. It's the wig I once wore to the school arts fair. It was a gift to me.


It appeared to have been dusted with ash and was quite old with streaks of discolouration.


"Look, your beautiful face is no longer noticeable if you wear this and hide your eyes with your bangs!"


If so, you can put on some makeup to go with it and then change into casual clothing, but you won't appear attractive at first glance.


"Let's also change the name. Where does Cinderella fit in?


To fend off evil spirits, individuals used to disguise their real names and go by their street names. She gave a street name that does not make her appear lovely in order to ward off evil spirits and avoid the prince.

She will now be referred to as Cinderella.


"Watch out, Cinderella. When you go out, don't forget to wear this attire.


"Yes. I appreciate it, mom and sis.


Cinderella sincerely appreciated her stepmother, two sisters, and other family members for their concern, but she found it odd when she was commended for looking run-down.


"I'll wait until the prince's bride is chosen," the woman said.


Oh, sure, let's chat more later.

Family bonds were quickly reestablished in this manner.


The prince, on the other hand, intensified his quest for a spouse.

He adjusted his strategy to indiscriminately remove girls his age after discovering that individuals were concealing attractive girls in every home.


Every night, all the females from the assigned area are invited to a ball that is hosted in the royal castle.

Naturally, if you decline the invitation, you will be discovered and taken away.

Finally, it is a magnificent roller strategy to once invite daughters from around the nation to the royal palace. And the region to invite changes every day.

At last, Cinderella's home received the royal castle's invitation letter.


Of all things, the invitation arrived while he wasn't there, so I'm in trouble.

The mother-in-law raised her head.

My father couldn't immediately return home because he was away on business at the time.


A stepmother who has recently remarried cannot fully utilize her husband's contacts, in contrast to my father who had a link with a high ranking individual.


"It's unavoidable. Cinderella is hiding in the house since we're going to the ball.


These days, not all citizens are tracked by family registrations, so not even the nation is aware of the precise number of inhabitants in each home.

I might be lying if I say I don't have a daughter who is old enough to be married, but I might be allowed to lie about how many.


The stepmother placed a wager on it.


However, sisters.


"No problem," I say.


That's true, the humiliating prince won't even look at me because I inherited my mother's unimpressive features.


"Let's move rapidly, come on. Cinderella must take care to avoid being discovered.

Following that, the stepmother, the two sisters, and the carriage departed in the direction of the regal castle.


When left alone, Cinderella hides out inside the house, particularly in the obscure attic.

I calmly waited without turning on the light despite the fact that it was growing darker.

This house is currently empty. No one should enter the room until the stepmothers emerge.


The actual ball begins at dusk. After the new date, the stepmother can show up again.

The wait for Cinderella would last all night.

Cinderella sat motionless in the pitch-black home, listening to the sounds outside.

Then, off in the distance, I heard the sound of a carriage moving.

The stepmothers shouldn't be coming home at this hour. Through the gap in the shuttered window door, Cinderella gazed out.

She noticed a carriage arriving in the dusk of the late afternoon. However, it's not the carriage the stepmothers were riding in.

Cinderella held her breath and studied the scenario while feeling anxious.

Strangers exited the carriage as it halted in front of Cinderella's home.




Don't Don't Don't!


The house door was forcibly banged.


Cinderella was terrified, but she restrained a scream as she knelt down.

Cinderella, who opted not to attend the ball and hid in her home, must have been the target.

If she is discovered, her stepmother will be charged with crimes and she will be sent to the ball.

More and more tightly holding her breath, Cinderella prayed that the men would give up and return home.




"Young lady, there's no point in hiding."


"Hey!"



When Cinderella was abruptly called from a nearby location, she leaped in shock.

She noticed a man standing nearby in the attic when she looked up.


"Hiding serves no purpose because magic will reveal where people are. Give up and silently enter the ball.


He was a wizard, no doubt.

a wizard who works for the government, or a princely civil worker.


His task was to locate the girl who was hiding after declining an invitation to the ball.

It appears that my stepmother was not alone in what she believed and did. Many other people apparently shared her viewpoint. and it was resolved.

There were other women who appeared to be servants waiting when I was forcibly carried out of the attic.

Cinderella was dressed in a lovely gown right away.


She then changed into a stunning girl who appeared to be a princess from some other country after having her face painted and hair styled.


"The prince will definitely like it if it's this beautiful," she said.



The magician man exclaimed loudly. The maids were grinning next to me like they had accomplished something.


Cinderella felt despair after receiving admiration for the first time in her life.

The wizard finally forced Cinderella to put on a stunning glass slipper.


These shoes are magical and cannot be removed until the ball concludes at midnight. Furthermore, it is forbidden to leave the royal castle while wearing these shoes. Don't fight it; dance with the prince. Take pleasure.


There were many more carriages than the one Cinderella initially noticed as she left the house.

One of the carriages, which was shaped like an oversized pumpkin, took Cinderella to the royal castle.

"Please, if you can, be the prince's bride. We won't stop working extra till the bride has been chosen.

The wizard muttered as he saw Cinderella leave for the castle.

The ball had begun when Cinderella arrived at the royal castle.

Several men and women are dancing in the center as elegant music is playing.

The prince is still on guard, watching the assembled girls.

The room fell silent briefly when Cinderella entered in this manner.


People were fixated on the stunning woman who stood out from the other girls gathered at the ball.

The prince is also.


"Beautiful lady, mind dancing for me?"

The invitation is formal, but the prince's remarks seem more like commands. Cinderella lacks the power of veto.

The wealthy family whose daughter Cinderella is is. Because of his employment, her father also hangs out with nobles and individuals from higher social classes.

As a result, Cinderella's father insisted that she start learning lessons at a young age.

Another positive factor is ballroom dancing.

Cinderella follows the Prince's lead and dances elegantly.


Once more, Cinderella's eyes were fixed.

A little pity, a little longing, and a little envy.

Despite the fact that many daughters are happy that the prince is unlikely to pay any attention to them, only the stepmother and two sisters realize they were powerless to shield Cinderella, and they grit their teeth in frustration.

The ball went on, but the Prince then refused to let Cinderella go.

She was forced to dance with him for several songs because the dance didn't stop with just one song, and even when she took a break, she was forced to sit next to the prince.

With the prince, Cinderella exhibited patience. She persevered, though.

The prince got a little too excited. At the party ball, they lost track of time.


The moment has arrived. A bell rang to indicate that it was twelve o'clock.

Cinderella immediately removed her glass slipper and started running.

The prince was so ecstatic that he overlooked the ball's finish time. The individuals in his immediate vicinity were likewise catering to the prince and extending the ball.

When the glass slipper's charm was shattered, Cinderella fled.

The prince had dropped his guard up until that point since Cinderella had been quiet.

Cinderella had already left the hall when the prince suddenly realized what had happened.

Her stepmother and two sisters abruptly cut off the prince and his henchmen as they pursue her.


The stepmother wasn't the only one who quietly interjected; those who didn't like that they had to attend the ball and those who wanted to be the Prince's wife despite the unfavorable rumors also did so.

Cinderella had already left the royal wedding and was racing through the city at midnight by the time the princes exited the ballroom.

The prince won't be able to catch up, even if you continue to pursue her.

It is the morning after.

A number of horse-drawn carriages were traveling through the city in the early morning.

Additionally, a lavish carriage reserved only for the royal family is leading the route.


"Are they here already? The prince was supposed to be busy, right?


Not possible.

The prince hosts a ball at night since he is preoccupied with certain national matters.

Such a prince rushes early in the morning and neglects his work. He appears to have a strong obsession with Cinderella.Even the stepmother was surprised by how quickly the situation resolved itself by simply running away from the ball.

The horse-drawn carriage is traveling directly to Cinderella's home. There is not enough time to flee.


It's okay, this house is made of bricks, so getting inside is difficult.


That's a different story, Sister.


My older sister didn't understand.


Yes, you won't be discovered if you hide in the wall clock.


Sister, that is a different tale. The prince is not a wolf, either.


The statement "All men are wolves!"

Likewise, my younger stepsister was in fear.


"It's unavoidable. Because we're misleading them here, Cinderella is hiding in the house.


The stepmother and the two sisters made the decision to wait for the prince outside the house.

The opulent carriage came to an expected stop in front of Cinderella's home.

Out of the vehicle stepped a prince, a guard knight, and other officials.

Cinderella's broken glass slipper was pulled out by one of the officials.

Cinderella received these shoes from a nation-serving wizard. It would have been simple to determine which house the daughter belonged to if there had been any leftover evidence.


The official standing next to the prince talked while the early-morning observers who had come to witness what had occurred watched from a distance.


The daughter who best fits these shoes will be invited to the royal castle to be a potential bride for the prince.


They knew where Cinderella's house was, but they didn't know her name, so they went in a strange direction.

The older sister moved forward when she heard this.


It has to be me.


She then pushed her foot into the glass slipper with all of her power.


-- Palin!


The glass slipper cracked because it didn't fit my older sister's feet.


Oh, it appears that my thumb was too large to fit.


Despite having blood from the shattered glass on her right leg, my older sister said with a smile.

Smiling while obscuring the proof.

The official is a tiny bit pulling.

Still not! I've got a different pair of sneakers!"


The representative pulled out the left foot's glass slipper in response to the prince's comments.


"All right, I'll go first.

This time, my younger stepsister moved closer and kicked the glass slipper with her foot.


--Gashan!


The glass shoes were, after all, shattered.



Oh, it appears that my heel is showing.


As she sliced her left leg with the glass and coated it in blood, my younger sister stated with a smile.

The glass shoes must end.

The prince kept his laid-back demeanor despite the officials' hesitation.


"Now that they are distinct, it is obvious. There need to be a second daughter. Bring her here without concealing it!"


This time, the stepmother stood up to such a prince.



"Oh no. You refer to me.


"""That's not true at all!"""deliberatelydeath・na・The stepmother quickly recovered and responded as the prince, knights, authorities, and onlookers rushed in.


No, my mother (as per Cinderella) is so young and lovely that I can't believe she's a mother of two.



"Yeah, stop making jokes.

The cunning knight raises his sword to slash at her, but the stepmother smiles and shows no sign of fear.

However, several people were unable to control their anger at this knight's wrath.


"Stop! Please don't treat my mother badly.


Certainly, Cinderella. She abruptly bolted from the house.

It was already a mess, and I thought my stepmother and sisters were clumsy.


It's this chick, I see. Without a question.


The prince sprinted after Cinderella and captured her.

Once you have it, there is no turning back.

Cinderella resisted being dragged into the carriage by the prince.

The prince must have been a little antsy because he had just left a significant position. This time, He acted in a very unmanly manner.

My older sister was indignant at what she saw.


"Don't mistreat my sister," I said.


The prince was instantly killed by a golden right straight burst.

The spectators cheered, but the participants grew glum.

The older sister-in-law raised her hands to the royal family and is a felon. There's a chance her family will be killed.

And the knights are pallid. Despite being the prince's bodyguard, they were powerless to shield him. Additionally, the other party is a novice female. Their abilities as well as their duties as knights will be called into question.

So do the authorities. Originally, only the officials and knights were supposed to welcome Cinderella, and the prince was supposed to wait at the royal castle.

Additionally, it would be a serious blow to the nation if the prince were to suffer a fatality.

The prince is trouble-free and excellent at his work, save from finding a bride.

The prince, who had fallen down, rose up as soon as everyone stopped moving.

The officers and knights were happy because it appeared that the worst had been spared, but the Prince approached his older sister and firmly took her hand.



"Please, become my bride!"


""""Eh?""""


The prince made an unexpected comment that caught everyone off guard.

For some reason, her older stepsister rather than Cinderella is the adversary.


Even Cinderella, who dazzled everyone with her beauty, was just a candidate for the wedding; however, her sister, who was barely seen at the ball, unexpectedly became the bride.


"I've met a lot of gorgeous girls, but I always had a bad feeling about them. But I was surprised when I first met you.


 Your Highness, there is a bodily effect! Anyone might say that, which caused confusion to spread around the room.

It appears that the prince was struck and awakened up to a dreadful situation.


This has to be destiny. Please propose to me.


My older sister seemed confused.


The knights and officials turned their backs as they searched for assistance.

In a same spirit, they were attempting to deny the existence of the "violence against the royal family" and cover it up.



It's unavoidable... My daughter is confused by your abrupt offer, Prince. Could you just leave for the day; I'll get her response later.


The stepmother's intervention allowed the prince and his group to temporarily depart.


After that, overwhelmed by the officials, knights, and wizards who came every day, the older sister made the decision to accept the prince's proposal.

Even the officials are in a dire situation because they will never be able to complete their tasks if the prince's bride is not chosen.


When her father returned, he told Cinderella, "If you don't like it, let's go abroad with family."

The older sister, however, resolutely agreed to the prince's proposition.

The king's announcement that he would abdicate and cede the throne to the prince in celebration of the prince's marriage was unexpected.

The older sister is doing her best while yelling at the stringent queen schooling that was completed ahead of schedule. The older sister has vowed to become the queen as soon as she is married.

If the soon-to-be king's prince errs, the queen's golden right straight will set him straight.


Following the prince's engagement, all of the daughters who had been placed under house arrest in the royal castle as potential brides were freed.

The daughters who returned home with scars appeared to be the exception rather than the rule, and most of the girls were in good health.

Among them were a daughter who was sad because she had set her heart on becoming the prince's bride, a daughter who was disappointed because she enjoyed living in the royal castle, and a daughter who was little underweight but otherwise safe.


Because of her older sister's struggles, the younger sister came to the conclusion that "ordinary is the best."

She then scheduled a meeting with a young man who was connected to my father's line of work and they were soon married.

Her older sister, who is having difficulty keeping up with her schooling as a queen, is one step behind her.

Cinderella took over the business from her father.

The company expanded and generated a sizable profit, possibly as a result of the talent she received from her father.

Being more wealthy than her father, Cinderella maintained her single status while creating a fund with the proceeds of her business and devoting her life to improving the position of women.


Joyfully, Joyfully (?)


Writer Pov:


The prince who kidnaps Cinderella from them is the antagonist if the plot's logic is followed and the stepmother and two in-law sisters are placed to the side.


The prince's ball is a deadly place, and the wizard who sends Cinderella will be on the other team.


Making decisions up until this po

int had been simple, but I was unsure of how to handle the conclusion.


If Cinderella marries the prince as the original tale suggests, it's a disappointing conclusion.


It's possible that she would make amends with the prince since, even if he were a villain, I wouldn't make him that evil. However, even a joyful ending would be a bit of a scratch.



The End
