Chapter 99 Cinderella Dragon King Returns
Prince Eric and his bride Ariel stepped out of the carriage.
The crown prince of noble status and his new wife greeted the surprised passers-by nearby cordially without any airs.
Then the two of them walked towards Cinderella's yard.
At this time in the yard, Cinderella had already returned to the house to do other work, while her two sisters were still chatting under the shade of the tree.
When they saw the handsome prince and the beautiful bride, the two sisters were stunned at first, and then became panicked.
"Oh my God, isn't this the Great Prince Eric of the West Asian Kingdom and his new wife? They just had a grand wedding a few days ago, and the whole kingdom knows about it!"
"They are the future king and queen of the West Asian Kingdom! How come such important people suddenly come to our house?"
They ran home quickly to inform their mother.
"Mom, mom, the prince is coming to our house."
Cinderella's stepmother thought her two daughters were joking.
"What are you talking about? The ball is not until tonight. Why would Prince Henry come all the way to see us?"
As a wealthy family in the town, they also received invitations to Prince Henry's ball, but they were only distributed in batches.
"It's not Prince Henry, it's his elder brother, the eldest Prince Eric!" The two sisters gestured panickily and pointed outside the window.
"Crown Prince Eric?" The stepmother looked out the window and saw the luxurious carriage and Prince Eric and Ariel walking towards their yard.
She was so frightened that she quickly put on her most beautiful clothes without any delay. In her haste, she put on both shoes the wrong way around.
The stepmother hurried out the door to greet the prince:
"Oh, Your Highness, why are you and your beautiful bride here?"
The stepmother knew that this eldest prince was the future king of the West Asian Kingdom, and his status was much higher than his younger brother, Prince Henry, who was about to hold a ball! No one in the kingdom wanted to have a good relationship with this future king.
Why would such an important person come here in person?
Prince Eric smiled and said, "I came here to find a beautiful and kind girl and I want to invite her to my brother Prince Henry's ball."
Cinderella's stepmother was stunned and nodded hurriedly: "Oh, I do have two beautiful daughters. I don't know which one you are looking for. I will let them out right away!"
Soon, the two sisters also put on their most beautiful clothes and prepared to go out to meet the prince.
Before leaving the house, they were still arguing about which girl the prince was going to invite.
"Although I am indeed a beauty, I am not beautiful enough for His Royal Highness Prince Eric to come in person and invite me, right?" said the eldest sister.
"Sister, why are you so conceited? Of course the person His Royal Highness wants to invite is me!" said the second sister.
"Oh my goodness, my daughters, what are you thinking about? Stop dreaming!"
The mother couldn't bear it any longer and expressed her guess:
"I think Prince Eric must have come to the wrong place. Why would such an important person come to invite you personally? When the prince sees that neither of you is the person he is looking for, he will understand everything."
Cinderella was sweeping the floor. Seeing her two sisters and stepmother in a panic, she knew the prince had arrived. Just as she was about to say something, she heard her stepmother yell at her, "Cinderella, stay in the room and don't go out! You can't let His Royal Highness see you in such a dirty state!"
After saying that, the stepmother took her two sisters out.
Cinderella stayed in the house feeling quite aggrieved and growing sadder.
As soon as Prince Eric saw the two sisters, he said,
"No, it's not them I want to invite."
Prince Eric took out an extremely exquisite invitation - the invitation was completely different from the ones distributed in bulk, and the words on it were all gilded.
"The girl I want to invite is called Cinderella. She must live here."
Both my stepmother and sister thought they had heard it wrong.
While the mother and her two daughters stood there in a daze, Prince Eric took Ariel and walked directly into the house with the door open.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw Cinderella wearing black and dirty clothes.
"You are Miss Cinderella, right?" Prince Eric greeted her warmly, as if he didn't notice the dirt and dust on her body.
"Yes, that's me." Cinderella nodded nervously.
"That's great." The prince looked very happy.
"Miss Cinderella, I came all the way here from the capital just to find you! I would like to invite you to attend my brother Prince Henry's ball. Will you agree?"

Cinderella nodded tremblingly, feeling that everything that was happening before her eyes was not real.
Am I dreaming? The Crown Prince of the West Asian Kingdom came all the way here just to invite... me?
Because she was too shocked, she stood there as if she was struck by lightning, without answering in time.
When Ariel, the prince's wife, found out that Cinderella did not agree immediately, she looked anxious.
"Oh no, Eric, Miss Cinderella doesn't seem very willing." Ariel said with a gloomy face.
"That's bad! If Miss Cinderella doesn't come to the ball, His Majesty will be furious!" Prince Eric also looked anxious.
Prince Eric held the arm of the Cinderella in front of him - he seemed to be completely unaware of the dirty stains on her body, as if the girl was wearing luxurious silk clothes.
The crown prince of the kingdom said sincerely: "I'm counting on you, Miss Cinderella. Please be sure to attend my brother Henry's ball. Don't worry, it will only take up one night of your time at most!"
Ariel also pleaded, "Yes, if Miss Cinderella doesn't attend Prince Henry's ball, then there is no need to hold this party."
Cinderella was completely confused and had no idea what to say.
No, no, what's going on?
No, I didn't mean to refuse! "No, no, that's not what I meant..." Cinderella waved her hands repeatedly.
Not only Cinderella was confused, but also her two sisters and stepmother who were listening to the whole conversation.
"I must be dreaming." The older sister said with dull eyes, "I must have eaten too much midnight snack before going to bed."
"Idiot, you were dreaming alone, how could you let me dream with you?" The second sister with a duller look retorted, "So it was you who stole my cookies. I will definitely settle the score with you later."
"You are the idiot. We must be dreaming at the same time!" the elder sister retorted.
"You two stupid daughters!" The stepmother lowered her voice, pulled the two people who were listening behind the prince apart, dragged them out of the house to the yard, and poured a bottle of water on each of their heads.
The stepmother lectured her two daughters, whose heads were wet: "This is not a dream. Listen carefully, your sister Cinderella must be of extraordinary status!"
