Waking up as Cinderella's Stepsister

CHAPTER 8

He followed her secretly until she had descended all the way down the hill, lest a wild beast appeared, and the next day he sprinkled mirror ore on the ground so that she could see her way, and waited for her.

But she never appeared again.

He waited a few more days, but he couldn't see her. He was worried about what had happened.

Then he realized that he didn't even know her name. It wasn't until he went down the hill that he had no idea where she lived.

Even he couldn't understand why he was so obsessed with a woman who had never had a conversation with. He tried to brush it off, but it kept bothering him.

The place where he met her, who had been tormenting him like that, was none other than the royal ball. He was happy and surprised at the same time, because he never expected to see her again.

She was dressed up for the ball, but she was recognizable at a glance.

But her eyes were on the Prince.

Could it be that she has a crush on the Prince? The thought made him nervous, and his head was cluttered.

His complicated gaze watched her throughout the ball. Then their eyes met, and after a while, he approached her and asked her to dance.

But something unexpected happened. Following the Prince who had pursued Ella, he had no choice but to leave.

There were still a lot of things he had not said to her yet, so he urged her not to go anywhere and to stay there.

But when he returned, she was gone again.

After going through the same thing again, he felt like he was going crazy with an unknown sense of despondency.

Was the name she gave him even real?

Even while escorting the prince who went out to find the owner of the glass slipper, he was filled with thoughts of the woman who had disappeared as if she was teasing him.

But the moment she lifted her eyes, he saw, unbelievably, her foot tucked into a glass slipper.

He blinked his eyes several times to wonder if he had seen incorrectly, but it was definitely her.

Rather than expressing his delight, he was more disrespectful, as he couldn’t control his conflicting emotions.

As soon as she said that that she hoped to never see him again came out of her mouth, he was awakened.

So he spoke frankly. I waited. I was worried.

The moment he saw her eyes flutter, he felt a sense of relief.

He realized that his own feelings for her were no different from those the Prince had for Ella.

Just as the Prince couldn't forget Elle and missed her, he too was spending days full of thoughts about Anastasia.

Finally, he was relieved with his heart, but the Prince's marriage began to make noise.

The King who tried to push ahead with a political marriage and the prince who refused to do so did not break each other's will.

As soon as he heard that some nobles were of the opinion that getting rid of the woman would be the simple solution, he felt like his blood was gushing upside down.

It was because the problem was not limited to just Ella. Fortunately, the idea was tossed by the King and his wife, but he had to worry about the safety of Anastasia and her family.

After contemplating, he exaggerated the situation to her. It was a pity that she was scared for him, but there was nothing wrong with being careful.

Fortunately, he heard a circumstantial report saying that the King was likely to back down. However, he moved to the villa while hiding this fact. And they confirmed each other's feelings and spent the night together.

The fact that Anastasia was his own fated companion was already proved by the ring. For the ring to fit on her hand, the ring itself would recognize its master for itself. It was the same for his mother, and his grandmother and his great-grandmother. The magic of the ring had been around for a very long time.

After spending a few more days at the villa, he was planning to return, saying that the situation with the royal family seemed to be in order.

But suddenly, his father appeared out of the blue. To catch up with his son who was enjoying a leisurely vacation at the villa.

Drake, who was gently rubbing his chin, thought there was no need to scrape for nothing.

Unnecessary information that she did not need to know could be kept secret for the rest of his life.

After much consideration, Drake strode closer to her.

“You really don’t know? Why l did that?”

Then, he tilted his head and sent her affectionate but earnest eyes.

“Because I love you. I couldn't help but worry."

I could see her eyes flutter as I whispered in a deep, low, serene voice.

Hmmm, Havel, who had been coughing in vain, sprinted out of his seat.

He didn't care, curving his eyes softly and gently pressing his lips to her ringed finger.

He knew she wouldn't be mad anymore.
