“What?!” Vince (Henry) exclaimed in surprise when he heard Rai (Cinderella)’s answer. “Why?!” he asked.“Because I don’t like you!” Rai (Cinderella) answered. “I don’t even know you, so why should I marry you?” he asked.That is right. Cinderella first met Henry only at the ball. After that, she never went to the ball again as she was afraid that her stepmother would find out that she snuck out. But Henry went around to look for the owner of the glass slipper, and Cinderella’s stepmother became suspicious of her because of her strange behavior when Cinderella found out about Henry looking for her. So, her stepmother locked her up in her room while driving away Henry and his people, telling them that she only has her daughters at home, and the glass slipper didn’t fit with her two daughters.Vince (Henry) felt disappointed and left with his people, going back to the castle. Meanwhile, Rai (Cinderella) had enough of his stepmother and stepsisters so he asked Shane (Snow White) and Ariel
“Right… I thought that Snow White died?” Vince (Henry) spoke as he and Rai (Cinderella) rode on his horse as they were on their way back to his kingdom. “But… how come she… is alive?” he asked. This has puzzled him.“Oh, that…” Rai (Cinderella) muttered. “I actually know where the poisoned apple is as I marked it with a knife… an old habit of mine…” he helplessly smiled. “The poisoned apple was not in the juice, but on the pie that I baked and had the maidservants serve the evil queen along with the juice.” He explained. “The juice of the poisoned apple was so diluted that the poison took effect very slowly.” He finished.“I see…” Vince (Henry) nodded. Now he understood. “Then why did you tell Florian that Snow White will ha
“Hello, everyone, I am Reiner Wellday, and I played prince Florian.” Reiner introduced himself.Everyone cheered, including the teachers. They can’t believe that the seemingly rigid straight A student actually has a talent in acting! Maybe we can try to create more stage plays and have them perform? The teachers thought.Reiner suddenly felt a chill on his back and he shuddered. He passed the microphone to Rynier, who was greeted with cheers before he could speak.“Ah! Our special guest!” everyone exclaimed.Rynier calmly nodded at them. “Good evening.” He greeted in a deep voice that made the female students, as well as the female teachers, bl
Midnight.“Oh, it’s been ages since I last returned - !” Rai heaved a big sigh of relief after he finished changing his clothes. He meant that he returned to a guy. “Ah, how I missed my leather shoes!” he added as he waved his feet. He felt like his feet were going to be amputated after he suppressed the pain from wearing high-heeled shoes! Especially those glass slippers!Shane, who also finished changing his clothes after he turned back to a guy, rolled his eyes at Rai. “You are exaggerating!” he told him. Rai turned back to a guy yesterday, alright? Yet Rai complains as if it was ten years since he turned back to a guy!Rai turned to him, ignoring what he just said. He can complain as he wants! “Are you now going to Reiner?” he asked. He recalls that Shane and
Rai’s face is red. Even though he was a playboy and he finally even gotten all the way with a girl, making himself no longer a v*rg*n, he still can’t help but blush after he heard what his elder brother said. Also, even though he knows that his elder brother is already an adult, he still feels awkward discussing with Rynier about s*x, especially about the other’s s*x life. He knows that this might be due to the two of them having drifted apart with what happened to him before, thus their bond also weakened so they didn’t talk much.Yet, here they are right now, thankfully chatting even the s*x life of one of them. Fortunately, their bond became stronger than before. This is the only thing that Rai was thankful about from him being cursed. Because this made him and his elder brother connected again, and Rynier became even more protective of him.“Brother… I believe that you really have slept with him that night.” Rai spoke as he coughed. He always believes in whatever his elder brother
“Thank you for that.” Rai told Vince as he sighed in relief when they finally were out of their school’s auditorium where their acquaintance party was held. He felt suffocated for the first time when surrounded by girls. This is not only due to the punishment that he will bear due to the curse if he will flirt or touch women, but also because he was caught unprepared this time to be flocked on by the girls.Not to mention their number, which made him feel almost being drowned by them.Vince nodded at him. “You are welcome.” He replied.Rai is Raina’s ‘cousin’ who is also an elder brother to ‘her’. He is also Shane’s friend, thus Vince helped him.Rai looked at him. “I don’t think we have formal
Vince froze when he heard what Rai said. scared’? he thought. Do I look scared? But why would I look scared? He wondered and recalled what happened just now. Am I scared… of Rai finding out that I like Raina? He paused. But… Why would I be scared? Because Rai is Raina’s ‘cousin’? He lowered his head and took a deep breath. Right… this must be it! It is because Rai is Raina’s ‘cousin’ and Rai might not like someone courting his cousin so I got scared… he raised his head and looked at Rai. … right? He thought, though he felt uncomfortable.“No… I just…” he muttered and shook his head. He doesn’t know how to explain it to Rai. He doesn’t feel scared… but he doesn’t know why he might feel that he is after he heard Rai said that he was. So… am I really scared? He thought, feeling confused.Rai also feels confused with Vince’s reaction. But, before he could ponder over it, they heard someone call them from behind.“Rai? Vince?” It was Shane. Together with him is Reiner.“Rai?” Reiner was su
“Huh? Your brother is not on the dance floor?” Rai muttered in surprise when he also noticed that Victor is not dancing with a girl, which he should since Victor is a playboy like Rai. But, because Rai was already punished once by the goddess, he can’t gamble with his life just because of his lust. So this is one of the reasons why he avoided the girls earlier.“Kaiser is also not there.” Vince muttered when he also didn’t see Kaiser.“Oh. They must have gone somewhere…” Rai shrugged. “But, thank you for helping me find my brother!” he told Vince and smiled.Vince looked at him and nodded.“Then, I’ll go now – “ Rai said, planning to go back outside since he knows that he is not safe here inside the auditorium because there are girls. With Victor and Kaiser gone, and Reiner and Shane already dancing as a pair, they will definitely focus on him and ask him to dance with them!Naturally, Rai wanted to. But as he mentioned, he didn’t dare to gamble flirting with girls to challenge the lo
The next day.“So… Cole was actually also a ‘chosen one’ like Spade and Heart?” Rai muttered as they looked at Cole in surprise after Stelle told them everything that Cole confessed to Stelle.In fact, that Friday night, it was supposed to be Stelle who should confess to Cole. And Stelle did, as himself. But before Stelle could confess to Cole as Stella, before Stelle could even escape to change to Stella, Cole suddenly stopped him. And before Stelle could react to ask Cole why did he stop him, Cole suddenly confessed to him, too. Not only of Cole liking him, too, but also Cole as Diamond!One could imagine the shock that Stelle felt that time as he listened to Cole tell him everything, from him being chosen by the ‘gods’ – the King and Queen, up to him meeting Spade and then Heart. But, Spade and Heart don’t know him as Cole, since he appeared before them as just a ball of light.“Yes… I
Midton residence.“What the… hell – “ Rai muttered under his breath as he looked at Vince who was eating his breakfast while seated next to him. 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. But jokes aside… &
Compared to the shocking happening on Rai’s side, Shane and Reiner’s meeting is surprisingly calm. 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. Stelle is also timid and easily panics, so Stelle immediately told Reiner about him being accidentally cursed. That is why Reiner was surprised that St
But, something unexpected happened on Rai’s side, too. He was just about to eat breakfast after ending his call with Stelle, promising him that he, along with Shane and the others, would see him later. It was then that the butler called him telling him that someone came to see him.“Who is it?” Rai asked as he fixed his clothes to make himself look more presentable.“It was Vincent Dauncy.” The butler answered.Rai’s feet instantly froze when he heard the name. “What?!” he exclaimed. He didn’t expect Vince to come so early this morning. More like, why would Vince come here in the first place?! Is it to find Raina to ask why she confessed to him last night?Rai frowned as he lowered his gaze.
“How did you find out that Raiver was also cursed?” Reiner asked as he and Vince walked around the grove to try looking for Shane in case Shane hasn’t left yet."When I saw Raiver changed, too." Vince answered.Reiner was shocked. "You saw him?!" he exclaimed. “Wait, when?” he asked.“Earlier, when I chased him.” Vince said."But based from your tone, you are convinced before that, that Raiver was cursed.” Reiner said as his forehead knitted.“Yes. And I confirmed it earlier.” Vince explained.“… so it was your suspicion before?” Reiner sighed.Vince looked
Reiner was chasing Shane but because Shane ran into the grove, Reiner was unable to find him for an hour. Shane was really good at hiding, Reiner knows this. So, Reiner can only sigh in defeat and catch his breath.“Reiner.” Vince called from behind him.Reiner turned and saw Vince. 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. Reiner didn’t speak and just recalled his and Vince’s
Rai saw Reiner and Shane join them on the dance floor and his heart beat even faster due to nervousness. He saw Spade and the other winked at him, encouraging him. Then, he saw Kaiser who smiled at him, mouthing at him to go for it. But, he didn’t see Stelle. Rai doesn’t know whether Stelle has already confessed to Cole and changed Stella to confess to him againas Stella.Rai turned back to Shane and saw that Shane looked very relaxed. Then, Rai understood that Shane must have let go of all of his worries. Rai can’t help but smile, feeling happy for Shane. His nervousness also disappeared.“Rai?” Vince called when he saw that Rai smiled. “Did something good happen?” he asked.Rai nodded and chuckled. “Yes. I feel very happy.” He answered.
Rai and Shane are sitting on their seats along with Spade who is sitting on Rai’s other side while they stare at the food on the round table. Rynier was sitting beside Spade, while Reiner sat on Shane’s other side. So, among them, it is only Rai and Vince who were separated and are actually seated across from each other. But, they know that Shane and Reiner, and Spade and Rynier, are pairs of couples. They just can’t separate these couples, right?As for Kaiser and Stelle, they have already seen them earlier and are waiting for them to finish talking with their friends and classmates before going to their table to share a table with them. With the presence of the alumni of the school, there is no order in the seating nor the tables except that the area at the front is for the teachers and alumni. Rynier should be with them, but Rynier naturally chose to be with his younger brother Rai and
One month later.“Oh, my gosh! 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
