Anyway, according to the convention, her father and stepmother would take her two sisters out to various parties and never come home for a whole day, so Cinderella had the rare freedom to go wherever she wanted, whenever she wanted.

"Then let's go to the school."

She decided, pushed the door open, and walked out.

Thanks to the help of his stepmother in the past two years, his father's business has become bigger and bigger, so the family has also moved from the original edge of the West End to a single-family villa in the more central area of the West End, which is not very far from the college in the center of the West End, only a few streets away.

Cinderella went out the door, locked the door, took two steps, and then went backwards.

She checked the door lock twice with some anxiety, and after making sure that she had really locked the door, she breathed a sigh of relief and left the house with peace of mind.

After going out and walking a few steps, there is a bustling commercial street, because of the festival, today's commercial street is particularly lively, full of people.

The shops are dressed up in a festive manner, and through the transparent glass windows, you can see the hot-selling products displayed by each store, which is full of temptation and attracts the hearts of every passerby.

The girl looked at the families on the street happily shopping together, especially the children who were held by their parents and loved so much.

If you don't look at it, you won't be envious, so Cinderella lowered her head, only looked at the road under her feet, and walked forward slowly.

It's a holiday, but the weird girl is wearing a school uniform, and it's a reunion day, but it doesn't have the reunion that the girl wants.

The sound of horses' hooves ticking in the streets, the coachmen in black dresses shaking the bells and carrying the carriages past, and occasionally some aristocratic lords drove by in relatively novel steam cars, which sounded their horns and made a screeching noise in the novelty of passers-by.

The girl walked forward with her head bowed until a railing blocked the way.

Next to the railing is a striking red light, and not far away, with the sound of a whistle, a behemoth continent slowly approaches.

It was the main mode of transportation in the city, the steam train.

At a fixed moment every day, these behemoths will send the people of the city to all corners of the city, like the blood vessels of the city.

It's just that now this blood vessel is a little old.

Cinderella stopped at the railing and waited patiently for the train to pass.

She looked at the huge creation that was gradually approaching, and it was clear that in her memory, when her mother took her to see it when she was young, it was still so brand new, so imposing, but now, it was like a twilight old man, and her whole body was dirty, just like the spots on the old man's body.

Boom Boom Boom......

The train roared away, the red light next to it turned green, and the railing was released, and the girl continued to walk forward.

The farther you go, the more deserted it becomes, and at the end, the loneliest street, which is the girl's destination, Aldrich Street.

The reason why there are no people here is not because it is dilapidated or anything, in fact, the facilities on this street are some of the best in the city, and you can see the former Imperial Palace at a glance when you stand on this street.

It's deserted only because it's a college street, and it's home to the world-famous college, the only pride of Cornwallis City today.

It's just that the school, no matter how famous the school is, as long as it comes to the holidays, it will inevitably seem a little deserted.

Walking through the streets where you can only see a person for half a day, Cinderella feels much more comfortable.

Compared with the bustle on the commercial street that had nothing to do with her before, she liked this fair coldness even more.

The tall landscape trees on both sides of the street cast dappled shadows on the paved road. Stepping on the shadow step by step, the girl's heart became more and more calm.

The reason why she likes to come to school is because there is a magic in the school that can calm her mind like this, as if she walked into the school, and everything in the outside world, including her worries, would be shut out.

Aldrich College has a tradition that the library is open all year round, so that students who love knowledge can have a quiet place to study at all times.

Cinderella is such a person who loves to learn, and since she entered school, her grades have always been at the top of her grade.

Although it is also because of this, she is not less jealous and teased by her two sisters with ordinary grades, but the girl does not intend to give up studying, she knows that knowledge is the only way for her to change her fate, and she does not want to be a maid who is called by her stepmother at will for the rest of her life.

Soon, the majestic gate of the academy appeared in front of the maiden, especially the huge statue at the entrance of the academy with a book in one hand and a sword in the other, which was the statue of His Majesty Aldrich, the founder of the empire and the first headmaster of the academy.

Cinderella loved the famous words of His Majesty: "Reading changes destiny, knowledge creates the future." ”

Therefore, every time she passed by the school gate, the girl would always stand in front of the idol statue and pray for a while, hoping that this great man would bless her and change her destiny smoothly with knowledge.

However, today, Cinderella stopped because there were several people gathered under the statue at this time.

The girl looked at the ordinary four-wheeled carriage parked at the school gate, and the two black horses in the cart were particularly handsome, and for a while the girl with perfect scores in biology could not recognize what breed these two horses were.

But that's not the point, the point is that there will be people who come to school on boring holidays like themselves?

Cinderella looked at the four people standing under the statue, a woman with a noble temperament in a black dress, a cold maid with an expressionless face in black and white, and next to them were two children, a little gentleman dressed elegantly with a short cane in his hand, and a little girl in a princess dress who was as cute as a princess.

This must be the noble lady of some family who brought her servants and children to visit the school.

Cinderella guessed.

But whether she guessed right or not, it wasn't her business, she was just an ordinary student who just wanted to go to the library to study.

At that moment, the light footsteps of the girl, who didn't like to deal with strangers very much, prepared to ignore this group of nobles and continue walking towards the library.

However, just because she ignores others doesn't mean that others will ignore her.

"This beautiful young lady, excuse me, seeing that you are wearing a school uniform, you should be a student of the academy, can you tell us how to get to the principal's office?"

The aristocratic young man walked briskly up to Cinderella, saluted her with a top hat, and then asked.

The boy raised his head, and Cinderella saw the little gentleman's face clearly, and her breathing suddenly stopped slightly.

She had never seen such a good-looking boy.

Uh, this should be a boy, right?

The girl thought with some uncertainty
