Cinderella, Queen of Rats Gone Too Soon

* * *EllaAfter Maddie’s wake, we were all very quiet, but I couldn’t get over the likeness of the charcoal portrait that Charlie drew of her, and I wanted to know more about his hidden talent.“Charlie, where are we going?” I asked with an amused smile as he pulled me. I didn’t know where we were going, but we were heading towards his private quarters, and I became slightly nervous.“I want to show you something,” he said from in front of me. There was no way that he would be taking me to his bedroom, no, that was absolutely absurd.We stopped outside a regular-looking wooden door and I concluded that this was not his private bedroom, and I let my shoulders relax.“Close your eyes,” his voice was calm and playful, and I didn’t detect anything sinister going on, so I did as he asked and closed my eyes, covering t

After finding Lucinda trying to sneak out of the castle, the King dragged her by the arm to the ballroom, which when there isn’t a party, he uses to conduct work with the village magistrates around the kingdom. The room had a certain echo when it was not filled with numerous guests, and Archibald wanted to put Lucinda on blast.“Your majesty, I swear, I came to warn you!” Lucinda pleaded as she fell to her knees in front of the King as he sat on his throne and glared down at her, just as he had glared at her daughter a month ago for similar reckless behavior.

Cinderella, Queen of Rats Looking For Proof
It was just past nightfall and the threat of bandits was high for the group to leave for the Tremaine house on horseback, so the Prince offered a large carriage to escort everyone. Peter would act as the coachman because of how protective he is and his keen sense of incoming trouble. Barely an hour passed and the group made it to the Tremaine household. It was dark since no one was present in the home, but the girls knew their way around so well that they pushed through the darkness and lit candles around the house to light their way. Handing a candle to each person, everyone took a separate room of the house to search.

Cinderella, Queen of Rats Execution
* * *AnaThe surprise of our uncle showing up after neither of us remember meeting him and our mother telling us that he ran away a decade ago was perplexing, and neither Driz nor I knew just how to feel about it, or about him. He seemed an odd man, but then again, his entire family was killed, possibly because of his own sister, God, how I wanted to be in that dungeon to hear everything.It was barely midday when Joseph showed up, and it was now dinner time, everyone was gathered at the table for once, enjoying our time together.“Is Joseph still in the dungeon with mother?” I whispered to Driz from her side.“He must be, no one has mentioned seeing him since,” she responded. It was odd that Joseph had spent hours in the dungeon alone with our mother, then again, he seemed like an odd one from the beginning. “They haven’t seen each other in nearly a decade
Cinderella, Queen of Rats Guilty
The dungeon was now only occupied with Joseph and his sister Lucinda, waiting patiently for her sentencing to commence.

* * *DrizellaAna and I headed back to the receiving room where Derek was supposed to bring our uncle Joseph after tending to the horses, they should be there by now after our walk to find Charles and ask if it was alright for Joseph to speak with her.“What is he like?” I asked Ana before we reached the room, “our uncle, what is he like?”Ana took a moment to calculate her response and the silence made me slightly nervous, “He is very much like our mother, I’m afraid. Mannerisms, expressions, features, I don’t know about tendencies, though.”“Good to know,” I nodded my head at her as we continued to walk that way. We had to be careful who exactly to trust now that we learned our mother is a murderer and someone who scrapbooks her tortures.Ana and I took a deep breath before we turned the corner to enter the rec
Cinderella, Queen of Rats Joseph Tremaine
* * *AnaDerek and I walked into the cottage with Joseph just behind us and looked around; the house was cozy and looked like it housed a large and happy family for years. The tapestries were colorful and there was a full china cabinet, trinkets along the fireplace shelf, and wind chimes you could hear from outside filled the house with a whimsical charm.“Can I offer you two some tea?” Joseph said but I denied, still wary of the gentleman. We all sat down on sofas that were opposite each other and stared at each other for a good moment before he spoke again with his palms facing upward as he asked, “What can I do for you two?”I had no idea what exactly we were doing here, so I looked at Derek and let him do the talking, “We heard of your in-laws passing and wanted to offer our condolences.”Joseph’s eyebrows shot up for a moment, “Oh, why that

I began twirling in the hallway as I walked back to my room and of course, I tripped.Derek caught me again, just as he had caught me the first time I ever saw him in the castle, only this time he held me there midair longer, just looking at me before pulling me back upright.I straightened my dress and cleared my throat, “Thank you, please excuse me,” I bowed my head quickly to him and continued on my way to my room. I could feel that he had stayed where he was, watching me as I walked away, but I paid him no mind. He left me after we kissed and then got all awkward about it, I didn’t want to be around him after he embarrassed me like that, even if there were no witnesses to my humiliation
Cinderella, Queen of Rats Peter's Proposal
* * *PeterI knew exactly what I wanted to do to ask Driz to be my queen, I would ask her the way that I had originally planned to ask her to marry me. I ended up asking her to marry me while we were lying in bed the night after I saved her from the bandits, I was watching her rest peacefully next to me, and she had a black eye, which had thankfully healed quickly.My original plan was to wait until I had my blue roses and present her with one, but thinking back on the idea now, it seemed too weak, I needed to go big.“Derek!” I caught him in the hallway and rushed to him, “I need your help with planning a proposal for Driz,”His eyebrows scrunched together, “But you are already married?”“Not to be my wife, to be my queen,” I told him and his face lit up, his eyebrows went back to normal and he smiled broadly at me.

We were leaving our room when I saw Derek running towards us, a slight look of panic across his face.“Pete! I just talked to one of the servants and he said that ten more people have fallen sick just overnight,” he was panting from his run.I looked at Driz and she had the same startled look as I did initially, but then her face turned to determination and she said to me, “I’ll be in the greenhouse,” and I knew that she was going to make some of my signature brew for everyone.I grinned at her and kissed her forehead before she left and then looked back to Derek, “Take me to them,” and he
