Chapter 60: Bai Xue's Promotion
I'm Shirayuki, and I used to be a princess, but when I led a prince to save the country that the queen was holding in her hands......
I still remember that it was a rare sunny day, and I took a prince who was like-minded with me and entered my former home, the palace.
I had thought that the prince could help me break the queen's rule and bring my father's kingdom back into our family's hands.
But...... The prince who kept saying that he liked me actually confessed to the queen after seeing her.
I was stupid at the time, how could this be different from what I imagined?
Also, why did my stepmother become so beautiful, so that I, the princess, sighed to myself when I saw it.
I thought I would be killed by the queen, but instead of doing so, she imprisoned me in the palace and forbade me to go out and move around as I pleased.
I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life in this dark environment, but one day I was adopted by a widowed countess.
As a princess, why should I be a daughter to a groom's wife?
But the queen gladly granted her request, and gave her a cart of treasure, and sent me into her house.
I thought that the life of imprisonment was already very difficult, but when I came to her house, I realized what a real hard life was.
She has three daughters, two of whom are the daughters of the Countess, in addition to the one left by my predecessor, who, like me.
Looking at the daughter who was driven like a servant, I seemed to see my own figure.
The first few days before I came to the Countess's house, they were very respectful to me and did not make me feel uncomfortable.
But until I accidentally broke a vase......
"Oh my God, she broke the last relic her father had left!" exclaimed the two daughters of the countess, covering their mouths very contrivedly.
When the Countess heard this, she hurried out of the house, and then pushed me away, crying while holding the pieces on the ground.
She cried heartbreakingly, as if something very precious had really been lost.
But...... The vase was knocked to the ground after the two daughters pushed me.
I tried to comfort her because she was crying so sadly, but she pulled my hand away with a hideous look and continued to cry as she held the vase fragments.
When the queen in the palace heard the news, she actually came to the countess's house in person, and when she saw the countess who had been lying on the ground crying for three hours, she comforted her softly.
I thought that was the end of the matter, but ...... When the queen was leaving, she ordered me to be abolished as a princess to atone for my sins.
"Yo, Your Royal Highness Princess, this necklace of yours is really good, sister, look, it matches my skin color. "The eldest daughter immediately set her sights on my necklace after the queen left.
"Yes, sister, look at her pair of earrings, is it also very suitable for me?"
At this time, the countess cleared her weeping countenance and appeared before me with a grim expression.
"Bai Xue, you broke my husband's favorite vase, although the queen has compensated you as a princess, but our family does not raise idlers, if you want to eat, rely on your own hands. ”
With that, she turned and left, followed by her two swaggering daughters, whom I tried to explain, but she didn't mean to stay at all.
I was kicked out of the comfort of my room by them, and I wanted to escape, and with my beauty, why should I be so rubbed here?
But the guards of their house were all female guards, and the whole Earl's Court seemed to be a convent, and there was not a single man.
I was mercilessly blocked by the guards, the gate could not get out, the door of the house could not enter, and I stood helplessly in the yard at a loss.
At that moment the daughter of the Earl and his former wife opened the stable where she lived and beckoned to me.
I happened to have nowhere to go, so I followed her instructions and went into her room.
Even though her room was filled with wildflowers, the smell of the stables always drifted into my nose.
"Don't be sad, that's how they were, she took those two daughters and married in while my father was seriously ill, just to rob our family of property. The girl said indignantly.
"Then you're so willingly rubbed?" I asked, puzzled.
"No, I'm waiting for a chance to take me to the sky. There was a glint of hatred in the girl's eyes.
After a few days, I finally learned what the girl called "a chance to soar".
"The king's brother is going to have a ball tonight," said the eldest daughter, who passed me with my necklace, "which one do you think I should bring?"
She contrasted the two over and over again, and shamelessly turned her head to ask for my opinion.
"Wake up, no one will pay attention to you. I snorted coldly and said.
After hearing this, the eldest daughter not only did not raise me as angry as before, but approached me with a smile and said:
"You don't want to go to the prince's ball, do you? Do you still fantasize about marrying the prince?
You have to dress up to attend the prom, do you have a beautiful dress?" she said, glancing at my dusty apron.
I ignored her words, and the current king, the former like-minded prince, made me see the world clearly, and I was always the only one I could rely on.
In the evening, as night fell, the Countess went to the banquet with her two daughters, and my current roommate, Cinderella, was busy.
She summoned many animals with her singing, and with their help, she was able to make a gorgeous dance dress from scratch.
The bird brought its skirt in its mouth, and the mouse swaggered into the door with a gorgeous interlining. I looked at the stables surrounded by small animals and had a feeling of unreality.
"My goddaughter, how are you preparing?" while the girl was busy, a kind-sounding voice came from outside.
"Fairy Godmother, it'll be fine soon!" replied to the woman outside, waving the needle and thread in her hand.
I saw a middle-aged woman with short curly hair and a bright glow coming into the room, and then she looked straight at me.
"Who is she?" she asked Cinderella sharply.
"The Queen's daughter, but now she has been deprived of her status as a princess, and she is a miserable person like me. Cinderella gave me a sympathetic look.
It turns out that the opportunity she said is to marry the prince?
After hearing her words, the godmother seemed to be relieved, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's good, I'm still worried that she will steal your light." ”
