The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 321: Cinderella [told by Sigrid, ruined by Iryne.] 1

"Oh. That makes much more sense now." Lady Iryne exhaled gently, touching her chest like she had been so

stressed but got srelief. "So she had step sisters. Was her father dead or was it her mother?"

"It is not a question and answer session mother." Sigrid retorted.

Lord Paxton drew back his wife and put a finger to his lips. Gesturing that she should keep quiet for a while.

Sigrid sent him a grateful smile. "Her father had died and she had a wicked stepmother and two horrible sisters."

"Ah, the wicked stepmother category." Lady Iryne giggled.

Sigrid inhaled sharply. She also ignored the chuckles of Cosmos in her ears. "As | was saying, she had a wicked

step mother. From a young age, she was responsible for doing all the chores in the house."

Lady Iryne gasped. "So, she was a servant. At least tellshe was paid. Lady Percival made her cousin's

daughter do chores all through winter and the girl’s mother is suing her for treating her daughter as an unpaid

servant. Legal status of your servants is very important these days."

"Speaking of servants, we need new ones as we have had to terminate three of them for making moon eyes at

Roland." Duchess Mila stirred from her half-asleep state.

"Can everyone please allowto finish the story first?" Sigrid yelled. "Moving on--there was a prince in that

kingdom who had yet to marry."

"Like you Elowin." Lady Iryne pointed out.

That particular jab managed to get slaughs from the listeners.

For Sigrid, it made her bite her teeth and seriously consider stuffing a sock in her mother’s mouth. "So.." She

raised her voice, "The king and queen decided to hold a ball at the castle and all the young maidens in the land

such that they could find a wife for their son. Cinderella wanted to attend the ball, but her stepmother wouldn't

let her---"

"Why, was she over age?" Lady Iryne interrupted again. "I do hope not because she sounds like a damsel in

distress and a prince is just the man for the job."

At this point, chuckles were traveling in the room, even Jesting was amused.

"Is it a legal thing? Were there legal restrictions on the attendance of the ball?" Lady Iryne further quizzed.

"No mother." Sigrid answered tiredly. "She was not banned by the law! It was just her wicked step mother and

step sisters that didn’t want her to attend. Cinderella was the most beautiful young maiden in the kingdom. Even

the cinders could not hide her beauty. She looked a little like Mauve."

"Huh!" Galen loudly exclaimed.

Mauve touched her face. Wasn't this a fictional story? Why then did Cinderella look like her? As she was

pondering on these questions, everyone else was looking at her. After all, Cinderella was the most beautiful in

this fantasy kingdom.

"Does this mean Mauve is the most beautiful woman in Eldoria?" A confused John asked.

"No." Roland objected strongly. "Sigrid is."

"Awww..." Lady Iryne cooed.

"He is her husband, of course he has to say that." Lord Paxton said. "I think my wife Iryne is the most beautiful

woman in the empire."

"Mine is the most beautiful in Medoris and Eldoria." Prince Alexander jumped in.

"Mine is the most beautiful in the wonderful." John declared.

And so the verbal war on who had the most beautiful wife, fiance or girlfriend erupted. Even Ethan Ridley, the

most quiet of the Ridley’s was very loud in support of his wife.

"Enough." Sigrid bellowed, adding smagic to increase the voland strength of her voice. "We are all

beautiful, now everybody shut up and lettell my story."

She got her wish but John still whispered, ‘mine.’ Sigrid sent him a scathing glare and he hid behind his wife's

back.

"Now, as everyone was preparing for the ball, so was Cinderella. She planned to sneak in. So, she found some

old rags and sowed herself a beautiful dress.”

"From old rags!" Lady Iryne cut in, doubtful.

"Yes, old rags. To speople, clothes that are a week old can be considered old mother. Now the day of the ball

arrived. She helped her sisters prepare and then rushed to dress up as well. But, as soon as they saw her....wait,

she used to sleep in the attic | forget to mention this. Oh..and she was friends with birds and mice." This time,

Sigrid was the one that interrupted herself. "When her sisters saw her, they grew jealous. Her step mother

immediately knew that if the prince set his eyes on Cinderella, her daughters would not stand a chance."

"Oh-oh!" Lady Iryne whispered.

Sigrid went on. "They ripped her dress to shreds, left her crying on the floor and went off to the the ball."

"Well, she didn’t cry for long because her fairy godmother arrived---"

"A fairy!" Lady Iryne squinted, "That is suspicious. Where was she all along when Cinderella was suffering? Why

didn’t she show up then?"

As much as most of them were irritated or amused with Lady Iryne’s interruptions. She raised a question this

twhich made them curious.

"Wait, there are rules now?" Mauve jumped in.

"Why does the spell have an expiration date like a loaf of bread or jar of milk?"

"It just does!" Sigrid bit out.

"But why?" Her mother asked seriously.

"I don’t know!" Sigrid practically yelled. "Maybe the fairy godmother had strict working hours or maybe she had

a newborn baby at hthat needed to be fed.

Maybe she was not just a fairy godmother to Cinderella alone and she had other poor girls waiting to be helped.

She huffed and exhaled tiredly.
