CINDEREKI Chapter 3

Fanfic by: Sora Vasconcelos

Translation: Ingisha Valer

It was already 8 o'clock at night, CindeReki had already finished cleaning everything and his stepbrothers were ready, but CindeReki was not. The carriage that would take Shadow, Cherry and Miya to the dance had arrived, so he knocked on the door of the room where his stepfather was.

—¿Tell me? —Shadow asked as he opened the door.

—The carriage is here— CindeReki warned sadly and with downcast eyes.

—Oh, but CindeReki, haven't you dressed up yet?" —Shadow's tone of voice was of a very feigned concern, which annoyed CindeReki a lot.

—No, because I won't go —the redhead's voice was sad, and he turned his back on Shadow to leave.

—You won't go? What a pity...— The man showed a smile from ear to ear. Everything went as he had planned. —But there will be another time, and maybe... —Shadow was going to continue speaking, but CindeReki interrupted him.

—Yes I know...Good night. —the boy went to his room. Once again Shadow and his step brothers had gotten away with it.

——🔥❄️——

CindeReki's room was in the attic of the house. It was very small and full of cobwebs. In that place he only had; a very dusty bed, with only one sheet and no pillow, a closet with all his clothes full of ashes, a broken mirror that his step-sibling Kaoru "give" to him, a very large and very old trunk which CindeReki had never opened before and furthermore, in that very small room, there was a large window in which Crazy Rock Castle could be seen in the distance. CindeReki, at that moment, could see how many very elegant carriages arrived at the castle.

—Mmm... what difference does it make, not even if it was so much a dance. —CindeReki approached the window leaning his arms on the frame, and stared at the castle —Besides, those palace dances must be very boring, annoying and surely... —the more he looked at the castle, CindeReki could notice that it shone brighter and looked more magical, it seemed very beautiful and surely it was the same inside. Thinking about all that made him sad, he couldn't help his eyes fill with tears —Surely divine... —he rested his head on his arms —But I'll never be able to go to that place —he stopped seeing that castle.

CindeReki wanted to go to the palace to get to know it completely, he didn't want to party with the others all night, he just wanted to visit that place. He always imagined going through the castle gardens and seeing all the flora and fauna that it had. Stroll with his skate around the garden. Why was the palace garden so important to CindeReki? Because that place was huge and surrounded the entire castle, it was the perfect place to skate for a long time, spin around, and do a lot of tricks. He wanted to go to that castle to see the prince and to skate all over the garden all night and all day. infinitely.

When CindeReki turned around, the first thing he saw was the trunk that he had never opened before. He had gotten that trunk from his father's old room. Shadow got rid of all the belongings of CindeReki's father, but the redhead managed to keep that trunk, it was the last memory he had of his father. So he went over to that trunk to open it for the first time. To his surprise, the padlock was already very worn, so he was able to remove it without problems, and without using the corresponding key. Opening it he only found two things inside.

One of those things was a sheet of paper, it seemed to be a letter, and he managed to see that there was something written on it, but he didn't read it because he didn't pay much attention to it, because what attracted his eyes was something else that was inside... The other thing that was in the trunk, was a beautiful suit.
