The magician of the fairy tale world

"Uh... well..." Prince Henry lowered his head and explained sheepishly, "The light at night is too dark. Besides, the makeup removal and makeup look are different."

"Hey." The king was used to Henry's unreliable ideas.

He then asked Prince Henry if he needed Rhine's help in divination. But Prince Henry refused, reasoning that "it would be most fulfilling to find the girl personally."

Finally, the king accepted the prince's ridiculous idea. But based on everyone’s suggestions, restrictions were also made——

Prince Henry could not go from house to house to force every girl to come out to cooperate with him. He could only go to various places in the kingdom in turn and stop in each place for a few days. Leave the shoes there and let willing girls come out and try them on without forcing them.

…

So Prince Henry began to implement his plan.

The prince's luxurious carriage and bodyguard traveled to one region after another across the country.

Everywhere they went, the soldiers posted notices and shouted everywhere to explain their intentions, asking the girls in the area to come out and try to see if they could fit into the glass slippers.

They said that whichever girl could fit into the glass slipper perfectly would become Prince Henry's wife.

Many girls want to be the prince's wife, but after trying, they find that their feet are either too big or too small, too long or too short, and no one is a perfect match.

After Cinderella heard about this ridiculous incident, the noble image of the prince in her heart was completely disillusioned:

"Oh my gosh, Momo's magician friend is right. Prince Henry is so weird!

"In order to find someone, he actually made such a mess across the country, disturbing every family.

"And the criterion for judging whether she can become his bride is also very strange, it is actually whether she can fit into a shoe.

"Is His Royal Highness Prince Henry looking for a specific person? He wouldn't use this method to find someone. He should just be looking for a girl with a specific foot type, right?

"I can only say that fortunately the crown prince of the Kingdom of West Asia is not him, but the eldest prince Eric! I can't imagine what would happen if such a prince became the king?

"Hey, the princes in the world are not all as perfect as in the books."

Cinderella sighed silently.

At this time, she suddenly had a strange idea:

"I also left a glass slipper. Prince Henry is not looking for me, is he?"

But immediately, Cinderella ruled out this possibility.

"You're kidding, can't you recognize my face if you want to find me? Why use this method?"

"The most important thing is that I don't have glass slippers at all! There were many girls wearing glass slippers at that ball. But the pair I wore at the ball were only temporarily changed by magic, and they must have changed back long ago! "

The shoes on Cinderella's feet had changed to their original appearance long after midnight. She believed that the missing shoe must be too.

Cinderella subconsciously believed that the magic had ended long ago, completely unaware that there was actually something wrong with Fairy Leila's magic, causing the glass slipper to last longer than before.

However, no matter what, Cinderella now has no thoughts about Prince Henry anymore——

After the dance, Cinderella sold the pearls given by Momo for a large sum of money.

She changed into clothes that were convenient for movement, followed the birds to the beach, and met her "pen pal" Momo for the first time.

Over the past many years, they have relied on birds to communicate and have become close friends who talk about everything. Their hobbies and interests coincide with each other.

Now, the two friends finally see each other -

What Cinderella was wearing was neither the dirty, smelly clothes covered in dust and sweat, nor the stunningly luxurious and beautiful blue dress, but the most ordinary clothes that were convenient for moving around.

Momo was floating in the deep blue, almost black water. The stars and moon were reflected in the water, and the silhouette of the mermaid boy was outlined in the light.

This handsome mermaid boy lowered his head shyly, not daring to look directly at Cinderella, for fear that Cinderella would discriminate against him because he was a mermaid.

But Cinderella said it was nothing.

"Momo, it turns out you are a mermaid. No wonder you know so much about things in the sea! Thank you for the pearls you sent, and thank you for the friends you invited. You changed my destiny!"

"There is no need to hide this. Now, the entire kingdom knows that mermaids are not an evil species. Prince Eric's new wife, Ariel, is a mermaid!"

"I heard that your people have cooperated with the merchant ships of the West Asian Kingdom for a long time. They will command the ships on the sea to avoid storms and reefs. They will also drive the fish schools in the sea so that the fishermen can get a lot of food in a day. than the catch in the past month.”

Late that night, the two talked a lot. From things on land to things at sea.

After that, Cinderella rented a house on the beach and would come to the beach every day to chat with the mermaid boy Momo.

This reminded Cinderella of the days when the two used birds to communicate.

——It’s just that in the past, they relied on singing birds to convey their ideas, but now, they communicate face to face.

In the past, Cinderella had to take on heavy housework and endure the glares from her stepmother and two older sisters.

But now, with Momo's help, everything has changed.

On this day, Cinderella came to the beach again.

"Momo, I heard that in your sea palace, there is a wise and knowledgeable sea witch who is good at mixing magic potions - which can make mermaids grow human feet, or make humans grow mermaid tails.

"Since the Kingdom of West Asia and your kingdom in the sea became friends, the latter kind of magic potion has also been sold on land.

"Any human on earth who wants to go to the sea can apply to a special place, spend some money, and get a bottle.

"After a while, I will consider drinking that magic potion, going to the sea and being with you. Anyway, my parents are dead, and I don't have much nostalgia for this land.

"You told me so much about the sea, and I can finally see it with my own eyes!"

As she said, Cinderella looked at the deep blue sea, as if her eyes could see through the waves and look directly at the palace in the deep sea, and her bright eyes like gems were full of longing.

In the sea water, the shy and handsome mermaid boy was surprised and couldn't believe his ears!

Cinderella wants to become a mermaid and be with me?

Momo looked at the girl with a gentle smile on the shore, and finally said what had been pent up in his heart for a long time:

"To be honest, when I knew you were going to attend the prince's ball, I thought the prince would like you.

"You are different from those spoiled aristocratic girls and daughters of wealthy merchants. You have a unique and extraordinary temperament. I even thought that you might become the prince's sweetheart and finally the prince's wife.

"I never dared to hope to be with you!"

Cinderella smiled and said:

"I only met that prince once. It was just under the extremely dim light and at a noisy ball.

No mistake, one song, one post, one content, one book, one bar!

"We didn't communicate, didn't say anything, and we didn't know each other's interests and hobbies. We just danced mechanically.

"But you are different, Momo. We have been friends for five years.

"Long before Prince Eric and his beloved wife Ariel met, we used the talking birds to share stories with each other.

"Every morning, after sweeping the floor and making breakfast, what I look forward to most is waiting for the birds to fly over and tell you stories - mostly about the sea.

"And it won't be long before I can see the beautiful fish in the sea with my own eyes, and see the stars and the moon from the sea..."

Cinderella sat on the beach and talked about the future with the mermaid boy Momo, which was reflected in the crystal ball.

It was seen by Rhine and Ariel.

"Thank you, magician Rhine!" Ariel said excitedly, "Now Momo can also gain love."

"Speaking of which, the storm of Prince Henry's national shoe test has not ended yet. I wonder what will happen to Cinderella's two sisters and stepmother? "Rhine thought.

...

At the same time.

Cinderella's two sisters and stepmother were very excited when they heard that His Royal Highness Prince Henry was looking for a girl who could wear the crystal shoes to be his wife.

"My two stupid daughters, listen carefully, as long as you can wear that crystal shoe, you can become the prince's wife. Enjoy an extremely noble status!" The stepmother was very excited, "No matter who you are, you must become the prince's wife, so that I can also enjoy the glory and wealth."

The two sisters nodded repeatedly.

"Speaking of which, Cinderella didn't come back after this ball." The eldest sister said, "Did she get lost?"

"Stupid!" The stepmother scolded her daughter, and sighed, "Cinderella's background is so powerful. She must be enjoying the glory and wealth now! "

When the stepmother thought that Cinderella, who had been oppressed by her in the past and used as a free nanny, must have lived in the palace and lived a life of luxury; when she thought that Cinderella might now be wearing a priceless jewel necklace, precious silk clothes, crystal-carved shoes, and enjoying the service of servants every day, she found it hard to accept.

"Cinderella must have endless wealth and glory now, why can't I live such a life?"

When she thought of this, Cinderella's stepmother ordered her two biological daughters:

"Go and try to see if you can put on that crystal shoe."

The two daughters then went out and tried to wear the prince's crystal shoes, but their feet did not match the crystal shoes at all, one big toe was too big, and the other heel was too big.

"What can we do? Our feet can't wear the shoes at all. "The two sisters were panicked.

The stepmother seemed to have thought of something and walked out the door.

After a while, she came back with a bottle of magic potion in her hand. The potion looked like clear water.

"This is the magic potion I spent a lot of effort to buy.

"It is said that it comes from the mermaid kingdom in the sea and is made by the witch in the sea - you should have heard that the sea kingdom is now an ally of the West Asian Kingdom, so such a potion will flow to the ground.

"This potion is magical. The mermaids in the sea can grow human feet after drinking it!"

The eldest daughter looked confused:

"Mother, what does this have to do with us? We are not mermaids."

The second daughter was also confused:

"Yes, my sister and I already have feet."

"My stupid daughter!" The stepmother scolded.

“There are different types of this potion, each of which can grow different foot shapes. I deliberately found the type that is most similar to the shape of the crystal slipper. Whoever drinks this potion will grow a foot that can perfectly fit into the crystal slipper!”
