Cinderella: The Rise of the Bitter Queen

Gloomy clouds tightly covered the sky, taking away even the last ray of hope from Cinderella. Trickles of blood ran down his cheeks. The injustice and cruelty she had endured all these years had reached its limit. The sisters, treacherous and envious, secretly plotted a terrible plan to deprive Cinderella of her future. One day, after a festive ball, when the prince fell in love with Cinderella and left a crystal slipper as a symbol. When the prince arrived at the estate, they pushed her down the stairs on the veranda. At that moment, when Cinderella was hanging over the abyss of time, disappointment and mortal fear were reflected in her eyes. The sisters ran away, leaving Cinderella unconscious on a stone-strewn sinister path. With all their wedge, they knocked out the hope for a better life in her heart — whispering envious words that she would never become a princess, that the barrier between her and happiness was already insurmountable. Silence reigned on that very veranda, while Cinderella's body lay lifeless on the ground. Her subdued eyes slowly closed as the last breath left her body. She left this world, with anxiety and without feeling her own happiness. Meanwhile, the stepmother casually brought the corpse into the attic, and remained to wash away the bloody traces. When the prince asked if it was their shoe and handed it to the sisters, they took it. Anna and Elizabeth carefully examined the shoe, surprised by its elegance and sophistication. The sisters were amazed at how perfectly the shoe matched their style; it looked as if it had been created especially for them. As if made of shiny glass, it attracted attention, as if giving a new opportunity. Anna hopefully puts on a shoe and, to her amazement, it fits perfectly to her foot. Elizabeth, seeing such a phenomenon, cannot resist and stretches out her foot, she is sure that the shoe will not be able to fit on it in any way. But suddenly, she realizes that she also lies perfectly in it. The discouraged prince nevertheless kept his word and took Anna as his wife, and he married her sister to a rich count. He gave the evil stepmother a dozen rooms in a vast palace and allocated hundreds of servants to her service. There was an amazing feast that day. And then the festivities began, which lasted for a whole month. Meanwhile, Cinderella, beautiful and kind, did not become a princess, but rotted under the beams of a boarded-up estate. She became a victim of the cruelty and envy of her sisters, whose thirst for power deprived her of the opportunity to build a new life. A musty smell filled the entire attic. The half-decomposed body no longer worried anyone. The house was closed forever. But why are there footsteps on the creaking floor? Cinderella slowly opened her eyes. A fairy stood in front of her, radiating incredible brilliance. "Cinderella, you shouldn't die so early," the fairy said with tears in her eyes. "You deserved the happiness and love that was taken away from you since childhood. I decided to bring you back to this world. You will become a phantom, an entity between life and death, a force that will turn against those who hurt you. But remember that I'm not omnipotent. You only have one night to finish your business, and then you won't be able to do anything." Her sad eyes exuded crimson tears, which slowly dripped onto the white-glowing dress. She felt that she now possessed incredible abilities—quickness of thought, unfathomable dexterity and strength that could change the whole world around her. But even in the midst of her new form, Cinderella will not forget her wisdom and compassion. She will protect everyone who needs help and love. Looking out the window, Cinderella saw the last rays of the setting Sun, which could never warm her anymore.
