“But, are you sure that you will sell this treasure?” Shane (Snow White) asked Rai (Cinderella).

“If I won’t sell this, then what would I do with this after I stole it?” Rai (Cinderella) asked back.

Ariel squatted on the ground and wrote. “How about wearing it for yourself?” she suggested.

Rai (Cinderella)’s face was covered in black lines. Don’t mention that he has the soul of a guy so he can’t accept wearing such girly things… he is not even a princess, so why would he wear this crown?

But, since they are still acting, he forced a smile. “I am not a princess, so I don’t deserve to wear this crown.” He spoke. “Also… I just stole this, so that made me even more undeserving.” He said and sighed self-deprecatingly.

Shane, who knows that Rai’s life is more than being a prince, fell silent. His lip twitched as he looked at the other whose acting is beyond their imagination. “… don’t belittle yourself.” He spoke based upon their script.

    “Oh, sh – “ Rai (Cinderella) almost cursed when he, Shane (Snow White), and Ariel finally arrived in Snow White’s kingdom by boat and saw the pitch-black dark clouds in the sky swirling like a giant toasted tornado.It took them a day even with Ariel using her power to speed up their boat. By the time they have arrived at their destination, the battle has already begun, including the battle on the sea where Rynier (Eric) is commanding. And both battles are very fierce! Neither side is willing to surrender.Ariel turned to Rai (Cinderella) and Shane (Snow White) and took their hands to write on their palms. “You two go ahead. I will help Eric here.” She wrote. “I am also afraid that my octopus aunt will target Eric… and would join the evil queen since both of them are villains.” She told them before she jumped on the water and swam away, heading to the boat where Eric is.Rai (Cinderella) and Shane (Snow White) looked at each other and grimaced when they heard what she said.“… should

She is referring to Florian, and right now is leading his army in the battle against her army of monsters.“Y – yes, my queen!” the monster answered and bowed while cowering in fear. Even though they are physically strong, but against the magic of the evil queen, they still are forever defeated by her. Thus, they now submit to her and at her every beck and call, like right now in this battle against the humans.As for the human army of Snow White’s kingdom? They were all imprisoned by the army of monsters of the evil queen!“Damn it!” The evil queen cursed and threw her golden cup filled with red wine to the monster. “Already a day has passed yet you still haven’t killed that puny human?!” she asked with her voice raised.The monsters present in the hall instantly knelt down and

I really felt regretful about it!” she said and wiped her non-existent tears.Shane (Snow White) wanted to roll his eyes, but he also trembled due to anger instead of fear. His anger suppresses his fear toward the evil queen who not only plotted to kill the king and stole her home and her kingdom, yet also wanted to kill her for complete rule on this kingdom!

A stunned expression is still on Rai’s face while his eyes are wide in disbelief. He really didn’t expect what he heard Vince say to him earlier.“Second is because you are hiding something from me.” Vince said. “It was because last night, you were there as Raina.” He said as he looked at the stunned Rai in the eyes. “You are Raina, Rai. I know everything.” He told him.Rai rubbed his hands on his face, feeling as if he is Harry Potter and Vince is Hagrid earlier as that scene in Sorcerer’s Stone played in his mind where Hagrid told Harry that Harry is a wizard.

Reiner had never found Shane last night, and after a sleepless night, he saw Shane’s message to him this morning telling him to come and meet him. Attached in the message is a location. Reiner then knew that Shane is finally willing to tell him the truth – everything that he has experienced when he was cursed. And he couldn’t thank him more, since he knows how difficult it was for Shane to tell him others about it, including him who he is his lover.Reiner knows that Shane is different from Stelle, who told him about him being cursed. Not only because Reiner is Stelle’s brother, but Stelle is highly dependent on Reiner, too.

He was about to speak, only to freeze when he saw that Vince was holding a black leather shoe. He felt speechless.“Raiver’s?” Reiner spoke, though there is no need to ask. Until now, he still can’t believe that Raina is actually Raiver Midton. But Vince would not lie to him, so he has no choice but to believe it.Vince nodded in affirmation and looked in the direction where Rai disappeared.

The young miss really looks like the live version of Cinderella!” the makeup artists and hair stylists exclaimed as they looked at the girl in front of them who was standing in front of the mirror, staring at herself.The girl’s hair is tied in a high bun with some of her curled hair locks kissing her cheeks that were blushed red. Her eyelashes are long, fanning her blue eyes as she blinks. Her lips are red like blood, which is a stark contrast to her blue ball gown. But, even if her ball gown is not the same as Cinderella, they still can’t help but think of Cinderella as they look at her. On top of her head is a diamond tiara instead of a blue hairband like Cinderella’s.The girl, who is actually a guy inside, pursed his lips in a forced smile. “Tha
