The ball went on slowly, and after His Royal Highness the Prince and Cinderella danced, the ball officially began, and the gentlemen took the initiative to find the lady of their choice, and Cinderella became the most popular candidate.

The dance party is not only fixed and danced with one person, except for the first dance, the rest depends on the individual's will, and there is no other meaning, it is equivalent to a sport, such as playing a game of badminton.

So everyone else wanted to have a more intimate encounter with Cinderella, and it was the first time that Cinderella was so popular, which not only made her a little fluttery, but the residual sanity still told her that it was better not to agree to those people's requests.

Unless it is some people with special fetishes, otherwise ordinary people will not want the person they like to be closer to others, and Cinderella's purpose is to become a princess, so it is better to refuse at this stage.

As they retreated one by one, the other men also understood that they had missed the best opportunity, and that the beautiful lady, if nothing else, would be the princess in the future.

It's just that at this time, everyone suddenly found out that there was another good show, Cinderella's two sisters, they think very highly of themselves, and they don't look down on some aristocratic men who are not very good, they originally thought that they would be the center of the ball, but they didn't expect that in the end, a few crooked melons and cracked dates actually took a fancy to them, which made them all angry.

Seeing Cinderella, who was talking happily with Cinder, the two sisters felt a chord in their hearts, and actually walked directly towards the prince, and the elder sister Charlotte pinched her throat and pretended to be elegant and said to the prince: "Your Royal Highness the prince, I wonder if I can have the honor to invite you to dance?"

Then Charlotte saw Cinderella standing on the side, and continued to say in her sharp and mean voice: "This young lady, you won't mind, if you do, you will be too careful." ”

Obviously, Cinderella became the center of everyone's attention, which made Charlotte jealous, and the focus should be on her, the superior life in the past since childhood, and the lawless status in the family, made Charlotte a little unable to see herself.

In order to show etiquette at the ball, it is generally the man who invites the woman, and the woman has the right to refuse at this time, and although the woman can also invite the man, but in order to reflect her reserve, generally no woman will do this, and once this is done, then the man generally cannot refuse, unless the other party hates the woman very much.

Charlotte thinks very highly of herself, she thinks that in her situation, the prince will definitely agree, as long as she dances with the prince, then the prince will definitely be fascinated by herself, leaving aside the slut in the blue dress, who knows that at this time, she heard His Royal Highness the prince say with a cold face: "I'm sorry, I don't dance with the careful-eyed lady." ”

"...... you" Charlotte's expression froze, and the triumphant expression on Cinderella instantly stiffened on her face, she turned around in disbelief and looked at His Royal Highness the Prince with a cold face, how dare he, how dare he treat a beautiful lady like this, he is really a terrible, rude and despicable person, this kind of person can actually be a prince.

"Your Royal Highness, please take back your rude words, I ......," exclaimed Charlotte, who had thrown all her pretense of elegance away, and looked like a shrew, and was about to utter unpleasant words.

Fortunately, at this time, her sister Katie hurriedly grabbed Charlotte, and the stepmother and the baron who rushed over also hurriedly apologized: "I'm very sorry Your Royal Highness, it's me who didn't discipline strictly and made everyone laugh." ”

"Don't be sorry, I just hope that Lord Baron will pay attention to the upbringing of his children, so that they don't lose the face of the nobles. Prince William waved his hand absently.

"I'm so sorry. The baroness were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat, he was a nobleman with no fief and no real power, if he really offended the prince, then although it was impossible to punish him directly, but those who wanted to please the prince would take the initiative to make things difficult for them, and it was estimated that the future would be extremely difficult.

Katie on the side was much smarter than her sister, and she said in a weak voice: "I'm very sorry, Your Royal Highness, my sister has embarrassed you for her rudeness, and I would like to toast you and thank you for your generosity." ”

"I think my sister is just too excited to see His Royal Highness the Prince, after all, His Royal Highness the Prince is so handsome, and I also deeply admire His Royal Highness the Prince, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Prince is willing to dance with me?" Katie maintained a look of adoration on her face, but her heart was proud.

His Royal Highness had already rejected her sister before, and in what she had just said, she had belittled her sister and elevated herself, and had given an invitation that a normal gentleman would not refuse.

In psychology, people will have a sense of guilt after rejecting others, so when the other party makes a request for the second and first point, that person may be embarrassed to refuse the second time.

This kind of psychological trick is something we may use in our daily life, people are not used to rejecting others a second time, for example, if you borrow a mobile phone from a stranger, and others are worried that you are a liar and do not borrow it, you ask him again to help send a text message, then as long as it is not a person with a bad temper, it will generally agree.

Katie, on the other hand, had no knowledge of psychology, but she had experience with this technique, such as when she begged her uncle, a merchant who was actually her father and lover, for expensive perfumes and clothes.

Of course, this technique is not 100% successful, for example, now, His Royal Highness the Prince frowned and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little tired, please forgive me for not being able to dance with you." ”

Katie's face froze, but she was better than her sister, she forced a smile, and with the last of her strength she held back her anger and said, "Sorry to disturb Your Highness." ”

Cinderella looked at her two sisters who had retreated, and she looked at His Royal Highness with admiration, how handsome and perfect he was, and I was about to become his princess, enjoying his favor.

It's just that Cinderella's face changed, I don't know when, Lu Li stood in her sight, and tested the time with her, her original cheerful mood cooled down, and she looked at the hanging bell over there, it was already half past eleven unconsciously.

Before she had time to think about it, Cinderella hurriedly said to the prince: "Your Royal Highness, I still have this urgent matter, please forgive me for being rude and leaving first." ”

After saying that, Cinderella walked outside with her long skirt, and the prince's expression flashed a hint of understanding, but he still chased after him, and said with a smile: "I don't know if Miss Cindy is in a hurry, I think I can still help." ”

"Prince, please come back, I'm in a hurry, I'll come back tomorrow night!" Cinderella was anxious, but she couldn't reveal it all, and she had to keep her steps graceful and walk quickly.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and a man seemed to have tripped over something and fell in front of the prince, and Cinderella seized the opportunity to get into the pumpkin carriage and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Cinderella disappear, Prince William flashed a funny smile, glanced back, and made an inviting gesture to a corner.
