Chapter 1158 Dark Cinderella
A day passed and no girl could wear the crystal slipper in Arthur's hand.
As the sun set, Arthur frowned as he watched the orange light shining on the crystal shoes.
Under the silent urging of the guards around him, he returned to the palace with the crystal shoes regretfully. He thought the king would definitely ask him what he did all day, and he had prepared an explanation, but the king did not show up at all.
Arthur felt as if he had punched cotton, and walked towards the queen's bedroom in disappointment.
After all, she was the queen, and was under house arrest in her own bedroom, but was treated the same as usual. When she saw Arthur appear, she immediately asked him nervously whether he had found the owner of the crystal slipper.
Arthur shook his head regretfully, "No one can wear this crystal slipper until they find it."
"That's right, it must be her!"
The queen was very happy. She had not believed the fairy's words at first, but now she believed them all. She looked at Arthur steadily and said, "Listen to me, you must find this woman and marry her!"
"I know, but why do you believe so much that I can inherit the throne if I marry her?" Arthur was still confused.
He didn't know that the queen thought he was too naive and never told him about the fairies. She was even afraid that he would lose his patience, so she refused to tell him about the relationship between the king and Lady Anna.
In fact, Arthur still didn't know why the queen was locked in the bedroom. He just thought that she and the king had quarreled and were in a cold war.
Lorraine's bedroom was connected to a small balcony, which was somewhat similar to the balcony at the ball.
As night fell, Lorraine brought out two glasses of red wine from somewhere, as well as a plate of familiar-looking and tempting small cakes, and placed them on the table on the balcony.
Then he carried the little sparrow to the balcony, placed her next to the cake, and elegantly picked up one of the glasses of red wine.
The sweet aroma of the cake came into Shi Li's nose with the night breeze, making her swallow hard, and then she glared at Lorraine secretly.
How can Lorraine be considered a human being if he lets a sparrow watch him eat and drink like this!
"Oh, I almost forgot, sparrows have no teeth." Lorraine seemed to be able to hear her thoughts and raised the red wine glass and shook it around the sparrow's head.
Shi Li only felt a slight heat on her body, and then she was enveloped by a white light and turned back into a human.
Fortunately, he was still wearing the clothes he wore before he turned into a sparrow.
After confirming her own safety, Shi Li was not so heartless as to just stare at the cake. Instead, she wanted to tell Annie's story first. However, the mournful cry of a nightingale suddenly broke the quiet night.
Not far away, the king was taking a leisurely walk, holding an exquisite golden birdcage in his hand.
There was a nightingale locked in the cage, and the sound just now should have come from it.
Shi Li had very good eyesight and could see at a glance that the nightingale's eyes were filled with tears of despair. The expression on her face was also extremely vivid. She didn't look like a bird, but more like... a person!
With the precedent of herself turning into a sparrow, Shi Li felt that there was something wrong with the nightingale being transformed from a human.
Lorraine seemed to realize something as well. She touched Shili with the magic wand in her hand again and turned her into a gray little sparrow.
Shi Li: ...
She is a nightingale, so I am only fit to be a sparrow?
No one knew where the king's sparrow came from. All we knew was that the king suddenly fell in love with carrying the exquisite birdcage and the nightingale around the city.
Instead, no one paid attention to Shi Li, the little sparrow that quietly appeared in the prince's bedroom.
After three days of searching, Arthur finally arrived at Cindy's home.
The mother smiled and asked Celine to try on the crystal shoes. As expected, she couldn't put them on. Then the mother avoided everyone, took out a knife self-righteously, and cut off one of Celine's toes without blinking an eye.
Serin raised her head and wanted to scream in pain, but her mother covered her mouth.
"If you want to marry a prince, you have to endure the pain." The mother warned seriously with a frown.
Serin's face turned pale, her whole body trembled, and she nodded through gritted teeth.
The mother and daughter then fixed each other's makeup and hair, and walked out confidently, but were shocked to find that the door of the attic had been pried open by the servants brought by Arthur.
Cindy had come out of the attic and was looking at Prince Arthur with tears in her eyes.
The mother and daughter stood there with their eyes wide open, thinking exactly the same thing at this moment.
It’s over.
It's all over.
