Chapter 786 Cinderella x Socially Horrible Devil (11)
Chapter 786 Cinderella x Socially Horrible Devil (11)
In order to choose a suitable fiancée for his most beloved son, the king decided to hold a grand banquet lasting three days.
He ordered people to arrange every detail meticulously, from the gorgeous venue layout to the delicious food provided, all of which demonstrated the royal majesty and luxury.
Invitations were scattered like snowflakes to every corner of the city. As long as there was an unmarried girl in the family, she would receive an invitation.
For three whole days and three nights, this exciting news spread like a gust of wind, quickly among the people of the city and sparked heated discussions.
Everyone was talking about this noble prince, with envy and expectation in their eyes.
"It would be so lucky to become the wife of His Royal Highness the Prince. My future life would surely be filled with endless happiness and glory."
The old people were filled with emotion, and the young girls' hearts were filled with ripples. They began to imagine the beautiful scene of themselves wearing a gorgeous wedding dress and standing next to the prince.
All the unmarried girls in the city seemed to regard this grand banquet as a turning point in their lives, and they all became busy preparing for it.
All the tailor shops were crowded with girls who came to have their dresses custom-made.
They carefully choose the color and style of the fabric, hoping to show their best side.
Andy also heard the news at this moment. She was holding a vegetable basket in her hand, but her ears pricked up unconsciously, listening to the vegetable selling auntie excitedly talking about the banquet.
As her aunt's words deepened, her heart began to pound and an unprecedented excitement surged in her.
She knew that this might be the moment to change her destiny. As long as she could marry the prince, she would be able to escape her current ordinary life and become a princess in the spotlight. By then, even Cinderella would have to kneel down and beg for mercy.
Andy's heart was getting more and more excited. She held the basket tightly and trotted back home as if the wind was blowing.
As soon as she entered the house, she couldn't wait to find her stepmother brushing the horse trough.
"Mom, His Majesty the King wants to choose a fiancée for the prince, and he has invited all the unmarried girls in the city."
"Mom, my chance is coming. As long as I can attend the banquet and be chosen by the prince, we won't have to live this hard life anymore."
"Mom, you have to help! I have to go to the party. I want to marry the prince."
The stepmother was caught off guard by her eldest daughter's series of words.
After digesting what she had said to him, she dropped the things in her hands and asked in surprise, "Really? The prince wants to choose a fiancée?"
"Of course it's true. People all over the city are discussing this matter now."
Andy nodded affirmatively and continued: "Mom, you must help me. I want to marry the prince."
"You are my daughter, of course I will help you."
My stepmother started to get excited.
When my daughter marries the prince, won't she live a good life?
After being happy, the mother and daughter started to worry again.
You must have a beautiful dress to attend a party!
They don’t have a penny now, how can they afford to buy skirts?
Andy suddenly thought of something and said, "Mom, didn't the devil give you a dozen gold coins before? Give me that money."
"That money is not enough! How can I wear an ordinary dress to attend a banquet in the palace?"
The stepmother sighed.
Ante suddenly had an idea and said excitedly, "Let's buy the fabric and make it ourselves, so we can save a lot of money."
"My daughter, you are finally starting to think."
After hearing what she said, the stepmother showed a relieved expression.
This silly daughter rarely uses her brain.
Sure enough, suffering makes people grow.
"But we only have enough money to make a skirt. What should your sister do? How embarrassing would it be if she wore a gray skirt to the party?"
"Mom, why do you need to worry about her? I am much more beautiful than her. When the prince sees me, he will definitely be attracted by my charm and fall deeply in love with me."
Andy raised his chin slightly, a smug light flashed in his eyes, and he snorted lightly, his expression full of disdain for his sister.
"She is neither as pretty as me nor as smart as me. How can she be compared with me?"
"Even if there is a comparison, she is far inferior to me. In this case, instead of wasting time and energy on someone like her who has no competitiveness, it is better to use all the money to improve your image. This way, you will be more sure to win the favor of the prince."
After hearing what Andy said, the stepmother's original idea of making a skirt for her little daughter gradually subsided, as if it had been extinguished by a basin of cold water.
She shook her head helplessly and said softly, "Then let's keep it a secret from her for now, otherwise with her temper, she will definitely make a fuss."
"Okay, Mom, I know what to do."
Andy nodded obediently, a barely perceptible smile on her lips, secretly thinking about how to further demonstrate her advantages so that she can stand out in the upcoming encounter with the prince.

At night, Di Xi dragged her heavy feet and walked towards the attic step by step.
When I opened the door, there was still no one inside. These past two days, it always took my mom and sister a long time to finish their work.
They would both come back only after she fell asleep.
Dixi was just about to stretch her tired body and lie down to rest, but for some reason a clear and rapid bell sound suddenly rang out from the attic.
This sudden sound was like an order, instantly breaking the originally peaceful atmosphere.
This was Yu Yan calling her over to tell her something.
Thanks to this period of training, she has developed a conditioned reflex to Yu Yan's call.
At this moment, she stood up without hesitation and rushed towards the room where Yu Yan was like an arrow.
When she came to the door of Yu Yan's room, she took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, then gently opened the door and walked in with a smile. "Dear Cinderella, what do you want from me?"
She tried hard to control her inner nervousness and make her smile look more brilliant and charming.
Especially when she saw the terrible devil standing next to Yu Yan, her heart couldn't help but jump, and a strong fear surged in her heart.
But she knew very well that she could not show any fear at this moment and she had to keep her composure and ignore his existence.
Yu Yan lazily sat on the bed, looking at Di Xi, and slowly said, "I want to have a midnight snack. Go to the backyard and catch a chicken for me."
Hearing this, Di Xi was slightly stunned, and hatred surged in her heart, but she quickly regained her composure, nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll do it for you now."
She turned and left the room, heading towards the backyard.
Along the way, she kept cursing Yu Yan in her heart, and the hatred in her heart became stronger and stronger.
When she came to the backyard, she saw the moonlight sprinkling on the ground like water, and there was silence all around.
Her eyes scanned everything around her sharply, not missing any details.
Before Dixi saw the chicken, she noticed a light in the woodshed in the backyard.
She walked in quietly and saw through the crack in the door that her mother and sister were sewing a beautiful skirt.
The conversation between the two also reached his ears.
"Mom, I can't wait to wear this dress."
"Don't worry, it won't be too late to wear it on the day of the prince's party, so your sister and Cinderella won't find out."
"Humph, what's the big deal if my sister finds out? It would be terrible if Cinderella found out. She definitely doesn't want me to attend the party and be chosen by the prince."
"That's why we have to be careful!"
"..."
The conversation between the two continued to reach Dixi's ears, making her more and more angry, and her eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
She kicked the door open and strode in. "Well, I was wondering why you came back so late these past two days. It turns out you were going to attend the prince's banquet. Why didn't you tell me? Why did you leave me alone?"
Dixi's voice was so sharp and piercing that it made people's brains hurt.
Stepmother/Anti: “!!!”
Bad news, it's been discovered.
Good news, it wasn’t Cinderella who discovered it.
Andy was the first to react at lightning speed, and then she quickly pulled the person in, and then she slammed the door shut.
"Keep your voice down, you idiot, don't alarm Cinderella."
Andy lowered her voice, a hint of anxiety and worry flashing in her eyes, as if she was afraid that the slightest sound would disrupt her plan and cause unnecessary trouble.
She secretly complained in her heart, this stupid guy, he is like a headless fly all day long, just talking nonsense, doesn't he know that this kind of thing must be handled with caution and concealed?
If Cinderella knew this, she would definitely try every means to prevent her from attending the party.
The stepmother also hurried over, held her hand tightly, and with a gentle smile on her face, she comforted her softly: "My child, don't be angry, listen to our explanation. You have to believe in mother and sister, we will not harm you."
She tried to ease the atmosphere with gentle words and calm Dixi down.
However, Dixie didn't appreciate it at all. She pointed angrily at the almost finished dress on the table and shouted, "I don't want to hear your explanation. If you give me this dress, I will forgive you for deliberately hiding things from me."
Those eyes were filled with hatred and dissatisfaction, as if they wanted to burn everything in front of them.
Seeing this, Andy mercilessly said: "You are dreaming, that is my skirt, no one can take it away."
Give her the skirt? Oh, how is that possible?
Dixi became even angrier. "You won't let me go? Fine! Then no one should go. I'm going to tell Cinderella right now and let her know that you secretly made a skirt to attend the palace banquet."
As she spoke, she wanted to push the door open and go out to complain.
Andy's face turned green, and she pulled the person back, "Dixi, are you crazy? I am your biological sister."
"So what if I'm your biological sister? There's only one prince."
Dixi taunted back without any hesitation.
The two sisters argued back and forth, and eventually started fighting.
The stepmother stood aside, watching her two daughters fighting, and was so angry that she almost fainted.
She slammed the table and said sternly, "Stop it, you two idiots. If you continue to make trouble, no one will be able to attend the banquet."
Hearing this, the sisters Andy and Dixi reluctantly let go of their hands, but glared at each other with resentment, as if they wanted to tear a piece of flesh from each other.
The stepmother was very troubled and could only break the story down and explain it to Di Xi.
"This time we are choosing a fiancée for the prince. Your sister is prettier than you, so of course she has a greater chance of being chosen."
"When your sister marries the prince, we won't have to live this hard life anymore, and that little bitch Cinderella will be able to take care of her."
"My child, please stop making trouble. Do you still want to live a life like this, working every day, not having enough to eat, and not having enough sleep?"
Faced with her mother's words, Dixi remained silent, but she still refused to accept it.
But she also knew that her mother and sister would never give her the dress.
In that case, no one should go to the party.
These ruined the dress, who knows if they can make another one?
The dress would have to be ruined on the night of the party.
Dixi's eyes rolled around, and after she figured it out, she nodded obediently, "Okay then! Sister, when you marry the prince, don't forget me!"
Andy agreed immediately, "Of course."
