Chapter 166: Dark Fairy Tale, Cinderella Makes a Deal with the Devil (24)
She seemed surprised by Shen Yuan's sudden intrusion. Even though she could not bear the severe pain in her wound, she still managed to raise her eyes and look at Shen Yuan.
"Dusula, why are you here..."
Chen Yuan was wearing thin pajamas and her whole body was shivering.
She looked at the scene in disbelief, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
"elder sister..."
Du Su pulled his pale lips.
Until now, she was still thinking about comforting her sister and didn't want her to be scared by herself.
"Don't cry..."
-
At daybreak, a carriage engraved entirely with gold stopped on the gravel road outside the manor.
Two awe-inspiring guards stepped down from the carriage, holding their heads high and chests puffed out proudly as they walked straight into the Rose Manor.
The air was a little humid, and the red roses in the flower fields looked as if they had been washed, bright red and pure.
There are a few water droplets on the petals, reflecting a beautiful and slender figure.
Anastasia was dressed particularly formally today, in a nude pink long dress that wrapped around her fair and slender body. Her long, fragrant hair was slightly curled, and her whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of gentle veil.
It's just a piece of gauze on the forehead, which takes away the beauty but adds a touch of gentleness and fragility.
The first time Shen Yuan saw her, he was so shocked that he was speechless and it took him a long time to recover.
Without her viciousness and violence, Anastasia is so beautiful that one is almost speechless.
"Duke Ellas, sorry for the wait."
One of the guards, with a high ponytail and sharp eyes, nodded at Elas arrogantly.
Ailas had a flattering smile on his face and nodded.
"It wasn't long, it wasn't long. On the contrary, it was the two adults who had to travel so long. I'm sorry to bother you."
Damn it, he made him wait for more than an hour in vain, and he still dared to look down on him and give him the cold shoulder.
He is Prince Philip's future father-in-law!
Once he enters the royal chamber, we’ll see how he deals with these two tactless people!
The captain of the guards was very pleased with his respectful attitude.
"This is the glass slipper given to us by Prince Philip. Which lady would like to try it on, or... all three of us?"
The captain of the guards' eyes swept across the faces of the three people, and when he saw the scar on Cinderella's face, a hint of disgust flashed across his face.
I didn’t expect that Elas’ three daughters looked so different.
But he heard that these two beauties were brought here by Elas' second wife.
Thinking of this, the captain of the guards pulled up a malicious smile and looked sinisterly at Blanchett beside Elas.
No wonder she gave birth to two such beautiful daughters, her charm is still there..
Blanchett had obviously been crying, her eyes were red and swollen, and her face looked much more haggard.
Even in such a mess, her beauty cannot be concealed.
"It's my eldest daughter, Anastasia."
After saying that, Elas pushed Anastasia behind him to the front.
The movement was so large that it affected the hideous wound on Anastasia's heel.
"hiss!"
She cried out in pain and her face turned pale in an instant.
Seeing her obviously abnormal expression, the captain of the guards felt something was wrong. He strode forward, stared at Anastasia and asked in a cold voice.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Elas immediately stared at Anastasia warily, full of threat, like a beast with its fangs bared.
If Anastasha was exposed, Shen Yuan suspected that Elas would be so angry that he would kill her.
Chen Yuan curled up his fingertips, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his palms, his limbs were numb, and he felt extremely frightened.
"It's okay, I just tripped accidentally."
The captain of the guards obviously did not believe this poor excuse, he narrowed his eyes
"Why do you look so bad?"
Anastasia shrank slightly, her lips opening and closing slightly.
"Girls, if they put on too much makeup, they will look very white."
The guard said nothing, his gloomy eyes fixed on Anastasia's face, trying to see through her guilt and fear.
Anastasia took a deep breath and looked up into the eyes of the captain of the guards.
After a few seconds, the captain of the guards looked away and gave a look to the men behind him.
The subordinate nodded in agreement, holding the crystal shoes and squatting in front of Anastasia.
The crystal shoes are transparent and sparkle in the morning light.
Anastasia leaned against Shen Yuan and carefully took off her right shoe.
White socks wrapped around the delicate little feet.
Unbeknownst to the two guards present, the socks were wrapped with layers of bandages.
Under the bandage was a hideous wound covered in blood and flesh.
Enduring the pain, Anastasia slowly put her feet into the high heels.
"etc.."
The captain of the guards suddenly spoke, and everyone present was nervous.
"Captain of the Guards? Is there something wrong? Can't you wear socks?"
Elas prided himself on being smart, but his guilt and fear at the moment were so obvious that he could see through it almost at a glance.
Fortunately, the two did not think too much. When the captain of the guards heard what Aylas said, he snorted in contempt.
"It's not that you can't wear it, you have to wear it. This crystal shoe is Prince Philip's treasure. If you don't wear socks and let so many people touch it closely, it will be so dirty."
The captain of the guards spoke the last word with particular emphasis, striking Elas directly in the heart.
He clenched his fists in anger, wishing he could skin the captain of the guards alive.
But even if he thought about it again, he could only put on a shameless face and agree with the captain of the guards.
"Yes, yes, you are right. I was not thoughtful enough."
The captain of the guards snorted coldly and stopped looking at him.
"Ms. Anastasia, please try it now. I'm in a hurry to get to the next house."
The captain of the guards urged impatiently.
Anastasia nodded, hummed softly, and lifted her foot again.
When the tip of the toes touched the surface of the crystal shoes, a heart-wrenching pain immediately arose in the heel.
It felt like being cut open by a sharp knife, and every pore trembled with pain.
Fortunately, Anastasia held back.
She put her toes in and successfully slipped into the crystal slippers.
"Look! It's through!"
"I just said that the woman Prince Philip is looking for is my daughter!"
Elas was so excited that he kept shouting, staring at Anastasia's feet with shining eyes, as if he had found a priceless treasure.
The captain of the guards was stunned for two seconds, clearly in disbelief.
You should know that there is no custom of foot binding in the West. The foot size of women over the age of sixteen is generally around size thirty-six.
The crystal shoe that Prince Philip gave him was only size 33. Apart from young girls, there were only a handful of women in the world who could have such small feet.
Therefore, the captain of the guards had no hope at all that Anastasia could fit into the crystal shoes.
It has been a long time since Elas wanted to enter the royal family. He thought Elas wanted to seize this opportunity and take a gamble.
I didn't expect that Anastasia could actually fit into it.
"Count Ellas, congratulations!"
The contempt and indifference on the captain of the guards' face disappeared, and was immediately replaced by a warm expression.
"I should have guessed long ago that Miss Anastasia is of noble status and so beautiful. She must be the girl Prince Philip has been looking for."
Elas raised his head proudly and looked at the captain of the guards who was groveling. There was only one word in his mind: awesome!
"No, no, but thank you both so much for coming all the way here to pick up my daughter. Would you like some tea before we continue on our journey?"
The chief guard smiled and waved his hand
"No, no, since we've found the person, let's go back and report back."
"Report to Prince Philip as soon as possible, and you can also..."
There is no need to say the rest, both of them know it well.
The captain of the guards exchanged a glance with Elas, and then ordered his men to help Miss Anastasia into the car.
"Be careful not to drop the future princess!"
"Miss Anastasia, please get in the carriage."
Anastasia nodded obediently, turned to look at Shen Yuan, her eyes red and her voice choked with sobs.
"Come, sister, give me a hug."
Shen Yuan felt a pang of pain in his nose and he put his arms around Anastasia's waist.
After hugging for only two seconds, Anastasia gently pushed Shen Yuan away and followed the captain of the guards onto the golden carriage engraved with gems.
With a shout of "Go!", the carriage sped out and soon disappeared outside the manor.
"Oh, don't cry, Bran. This is a good thing. If Anna can really become Philip's princess, our manor will get better and better."
After saying that, he ignored Shen Yuan and Cinderella, and walked into the manor with his arm around Blanchett's shoulders.
With his big belly and raised chin, he looks like a proud rooster.
"Tsk, tsk, it must be unpleasant to chop off a toe or heel, right?"
As soon as Elas left, Cinderella tore off her weak mask and walked to Shen Yuan with a sinister look.
Her face was contorted with a smug expression.
Shen Yuan just glanced sideways, looked at the hideous wound on her face, and asked coldly
"Why? Didn't the evil ghost heal your wounds?"
