Chapter 307 Cinderella and the Soldier's Head Relocation Story

Just then, a loud bang shattered the silence of the room!
The crystal chandelier on the ceiling swayed, the paintings on the wall fell down, and even the floorboards creaked.

The soldier was so startled that he almost spilled the red wine on his trousers.

He looked up in alarm.

A large dog with three heads suddenly appeared in the center of the room.

It was completely black, exuding a dangerous aura, as if it had just crawled out of hell.

"Isn't this my dog?"

The soldier's eyes widened: "But how did it turn into a three-headed creature?"

Thinking of this, the soldier quickly sat up straight, patted his chest, and tried to regain his authority as the master:
Why did you come back empty-handed?

"Where's the princess?"

Where is the princess I wanted?

"And what's with the three of you growing together?"

Cerberus's three heads exchanged a glance, and then the middle head spoke: "We have abandoned the light and embraced darkness."

The head on the right rolled its eyes and retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's clearly abandoning darkness for light."

The last head then said, "Stop arguing, let's get down to business."

Upon hearing this, the three heads bared their sharp teeth and stared coldly at the soldier:

"You are no longer worthy to be our master."

Upon hearing this, the soldier's face turned deathly pale, and his hand trembled so much that the wine glass shattered on the ground.

"what?"

"I am your master!"

"It was I who summoned you with the tinderbox!"

He hurriedly pulled the tinderbox from his pocket and frantically rubbed it.

"Magic tinderbox, make them obey quickly."

Strangely, no matter how he rubbed it, the tinderbox didn't react at all; it could only produce sparks, just like an ordinary tinderbox.

The soldier was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, muttering to himself:

"What's wrong? Why isn't it working anymore?"

Cerberus's three heads shook their heads in unison: "Because you are no longer our master."

There is only one true master.

"That's Prince Roger."

The soldier then realized something was terribly wrong; his face turned deathly pale, and his voice trembled.
"You betrayed me?"

Cerberus did not answer, but stepped forward, opened his blood-red maw, and bit the soldier's head!
Before the soldier could even call for help, his head had already separated from his body.

Cerberus's two heads gripped his body and head respectively, while the third head bit the tinderbox that had fallen to the ground.

The next second, they turned into black shadows and disappeared into thin air.

When Cerberus returned to Roger, it respectfully placed the tinderbox on the ground, and its three heads said in unison:
"Master, look what we've brought."

Roger looked at the soldiers' corpses with absolutely no interest.

He has no interest in dead people.

What he cared about was the tinderbox.

Roger casually flicked his wrist, and the tinderbox flew into his hand.

He gently rubbed it, and sparks immediately flew from the tinderbox.

Roger closed his eyes and sensed the magical fluctuations within.

"Yes, it is indeed a magical item."

He nodded: "Although it's no longer of any use."

He looked at Cerberus: "Whose tinderbox is this?"

Cerberus's three heads bowed simultaneously: "Long ago there was an old witch."

"She created this tinderbox and enslaved us."

"After she died, she used us to guard the treasure she had accumulated throughout her life."

"Master, do you want her treasure?"

“We can take you there.” Roger chuckled upon hearing this.

"Treasure?"

"I have no interest in that kind of thing."

……

A few days later, in a kingdom near the Thorn Kingdom.

In a lavishly decorated aristocratic mansion, Madame Termane stands in the center of the hall, hands on her hips.

She urged her two biological daughters loudly:
"Antesia, Trislylia, you two hurry up and get dressed!"

"Princess Aurora and Prince Roger are getting married tomorrow!"

“At that time, Prince Henry of our kingdom will also attend the banquet.”

"If you can catch his attention, you might just become the future queen!"

While applying lipstick, the eldest daughter, Antasia, muttered, "But Mom, I heard that Prince Roger is the real prince."

"He was handsome, brave, and powerful, and he saved the entire Thorn Kingdom."

"Compared to our Prince Henry, they are worlds apart."

The second daughter, Trisharia, rolled her eyes as she tried on the dress and complained:
"Yes, Prince Henry is ugly and incompetent, while Prince Roger is the prince charming of my dreams!"

Upon hearing this, Madame Termane was so angry she nearly snapped the fan in her hand in two.

"You two good-for-nothings!"

“You are merely the Earl’s daughters; Prince Roger is to marry Princess Aurora.”

Don't be greedy.

"Back then, I went through a lot of trouble to make you the daughters of the Earl through remarriage. Otherwise, how would you have had this opportunity?"

Upon hearing this, both daughters pouted and complained:
"We could have gone even further."

"Even if I can't be queen, being a mistress wouldn't be bad!"

Just as the mother and her two daughters were discussing how to seduce Prince Roger, a girl dressed in shabby clothes and covered in dust came out of the kitchen.

She held a broom in her hand, her face showing exhaustion.

As soon as Mrs. Termany saw her, her expression changed, and her tone became sharp:

"Cinderella, why aren't you cleaning the kitchen? What are you doing here?"

"Do you also want to attend the banquet tomorrow?"

"Get back to the kitchen! You're not allowed to go anywhere else!"

The girl whose name was called lowered her head and replied softly, "Yes, stepmother."

She is Cinderella.

Before long, Cinderella's stepmother and two stepsisters, dressed in their finest attire and adorned with jewels, boarded a carriage and set off in a grand procession towards the Thorn Kingdom.

As they adjusted their skirts, they said to themselves admiringly in the mirror:

"This time, I must make Prince Roger notice me!"

"Stop dreaming, I'm clearly more beautiful!"

Shortly after they left, Cinderella stood alone in the courtyard, watching the carriage disappear into the distance, her eyes filled with envy and disappointment.

She sighed, "I also want to attend the wedding. Princess Aurora and Prince Roger's wedding must be incredibly romantic."

As she was speaking, a witch appeared before her, wearing a sequined cloak, holding a wand, and with a feather in her hair.

She blinked and asked:
"Poor Cinderella, do you need my help?"

Cinderella looked up and immediately exclaimed with delight, "Of course we need it!"

"I want a beautiful dress. I want to attend Prince Roger and Princess Aurora's wedding banquet!"

The witch nodded and waved her wand.

Cinderella's tattered clothes instantly transformed into a magnificent blue evening gown, its skirt shimmering like a galaxy, its waist adorned with diamond-like dewdrops, and even her hair was neatly combed.

On her feet appeared a pair of sparkling crystal shoes!
Then, the witch waved her wand again.

The mice in the corner of the yard were transformed into four strong horses!
A pumpkin suddenly swelled and deformed, turning into a luxurious carriage.

The witch nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, everything is ready."

She turned to Cinderella and said gently, "Go to this grand wedding."
