Chapter 98 The Mermaid Falls in Love with Cinderella

The coast of the Kingdom of West Asia.

On the beach, a mermaid boy emerged from the sea. When he saw Ariel, Rhine, and Aurora, he saluted nervously:

"Hello, Princess. Hello, great magician."

She is indeed a reserved and well-behaved little mermaid.

"I heard that you fell in love with a human girl. How did you fall in love with that human girl? Where is that girl now?" Rhine asked for specific details.

The mermaid boy shook his head:

"I couldn't get to the shore, and I had never seen the girl. I only knew that her name was Cinderella."

Cinderella... Rhine heard the familiar name and recalled Prince Henry's plan to hold a ball, and raised his eyebrows.

So the person you fell in love with was Cinderella? A mermaid falling in love with Cinderella is indeed something that can happen in this continent!

Aurora was quite surprised: "You haven't even met her, so how do you know her name?"

"Just look at those birds and you'll know." The mermaid boy pointed to the sky in the distance.

Looking in the direction he pointed, I saw a few birds flying over from the sky.

The birds chirped in the air, and finally landed on a tree by the coast, and actually sang in human language:

“My friend from the sea, let me tell you what happened to Cinderella today.

"Cinderella was very sad because she wanted to go to the prince's ball, but her sister and mother would not allow her to do so.

"They made things difficult for her, oppressed her, made her do the dirtiest and most tiring work, and did not allow her to attend Prince Henry's ball. Because they said that Cinderella did not have beautiful clothes or expensive dancing shoes, and would only make a fool of herself at the ball! " "Come on, come on, tell me, my friend from the sea, what do you want to say to Cinderella today?"

This scene made Aurora stunned: "Wait, just now, the bird was speaking human language? Uh, singing in human language?"

"That's right. They are all a group of magical birds." The mermaid boy said:

"Cinderella and I communicate with each other through these birds. These birds seem to play the role of what is called letters in the human world."

"We have been communicating with each other through birds for several years. However, she never knew that her distant friend was actually a mermaid who could not go ashore."

Ariel and Aurora were amazed at the singing birds.

Rhine was not surprised, but recalled a lot.

"Birds? The Brothers Grimm version?"

There are actually multiple versions of the familiar story of "Cinderella". The common point is that there is a girl who is oppressed by her sister and mother, but is able to attend the prince's ball with the help of external forces.

The most widely circulated version is Charles Perrault's version, in which Cinderella gets the help of the fairy godmother, rides on a pumpkin carriage, and wears beautiful clothes to go to the prince's ball.

In the version compiled by the Grimm brothers, Cinderella's "golden finger" is not a magic fairy, but a large group of birds. At the end of some versions, the birds even pecked out the eyes of the two sisters.

"So, on this continent, the Cinderella story is the Grimm brothers' version, or a mixture of multiple versions. So, Cinderella retains the magical power to command a group of clever birds! I wonder if the Fairy Godmother still exists?" Rhine thought.

The mermaid boy lowered his head, obviously worried about Cinderella in the distance:

"Oh my god, Cinderella is so miserable. After her father died, her stepmother and two sisters have been oppressing her. I really want to help her, but I can't get to the shore."

He looked at Ariel and Rhine again: "Can you help Cinderella? She wants to attend Prince Henry's ball. Can't such a simple wish come true?"

I hope my girlfriend can successfully attend the prince's ball... uh, what kind of backup plan is this... Rhine muttered in his heart.

"Okay, I'll help the girl named Cinderella." Rhine agreed. It's not a difficult task.

The little magician looked at the birds chirping and singing and fed them some food: "Excuse me, please take us to Cinderella's house."

…

After a while, the three followed the bird to a yard and saw Cinderella working outside.

Rhine recognized the girl at a glance because she was covered in ashes, looked dirty and ugly, and was sweeping the weeds in the yard under the scorching sun.

As for the two sisters, they leaned back in the chairs to enjoy the cool air. They were quite pretty, but their expressions were very mean.

"Cinderella, how could you have such a stupid idea? Do you really think that if you complete the task set by your mother, she will allow you to attend the prince's ball?"

"Yeah. You don't even have a nice dress. You don't even have a nice pair of shoes. You'll just make a fool of yourself at that ball."

"That's right, if Prince Henry sees you like this, he will call the servants to kick you out!"

Cinderella was very sad, but she had to admit that her two sisters were right.

"This girl named Cinderella is really pitiful. How can we help her?" Ariel sighed.

"Just prepare a dress suitable for Cinderella to attend the ball. It's not a difficult task." Aurora suggested.

Rhine looked at her sisters scolding and mocking Cinderella, and suddenly an idea popped into her mind.

The corners of the little magician's mouth rose slightly, and he couldn't help laughing when he thought of the next scene.

"Ariel, I have an idea. Let's teleport back to the palace and find Prince Eric!"

The figures of the three people quickly faded and disappeared on the spot.

…

at the same time.

In a small grove outside the yard, Cinderella let out a barely audible sigh as she looked sad because she could not attend the ball and was ridiculed by her two sisters.

A girl dressed in beautiful clothes and dressed as a fairy was hiding there.

She used magic to make herself invisible, so ordinary people couldn't see her.

"Poor Cinderella, she doesn't even have a decent piece of clothing to wear outside!"

"Now it's my turn to use my magic."

The girl dressed in gorgeous fairy clothes is none other than the Fairy Godmother! "When it gets dark, I will sneak into Cinderella's house and use magic to make her the most beautiful dress and a spacious carriage so that she can also attend Prince Henry's ball!"

"I can't imagine how happy Cinderella will be after seeing such beautiful clothes."

Fairy Leila was immersed in the beautiful fantasy of Cinderella smiling.

"Oh, you are the fairy godmother who wants to help Cinderella." A clear boy's voice sounded behind the fairy Leila.

"Yeah... I am... Aaaah! Who are you? How can you see me here? When did you appear behind me?"

The fairy was startled by the silver-haired boy who suddenly appeared behind her.

It seems that in this world, magical birds and fairy godmothers exist at the same time... Rhine thought and waved to the fairy Leila:

"But Cinderella may not need your help."

"You don't need my help? Why?" Fairy Leila was confused and wary of the boy who suddenly appeared.

Just then, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds was heard.

A gorgeous carriage stopped in front of Cinderella's yard.

"Wow, it's Prince Eric! His Royal Highness actually came to our town!"

There were exclamations from the crowd on the street.

"Strange, that must be the eldest prince of the West Asian Kingdom, why is he here?" Fairy Leila was very confused.

Rhine said from behind, "Like you, I will also prepare a dress for Cinderella that is suitable for attending Prince Henry's ball. You can wait and see."

Does this have anything to do with the current situation and the sudden appearance of Prince Eric? Fairy Leila was even more confused.
