He lifted his back with all his might, and fell over my body like he was about to collapse. The movement stopped, but his alter ego remained in me, boasting a dignified majesty.
“Haa, Anastasia….”
I gently caressed his back, exhaling harshly.
The events of the past flashed through my mind as he was still rolling out an unfamiliar name in his mouth.
As we know, the prince married Ella.
But it wasn't just a beautiful and happy ending like in a fairy tale. In order to save face, it was quiet, but she seemed to be suffering a lot because she was suffering from subtle discrimination and contempt.
She led a hard married life.
I don't know why, whether in the past or now, in the East and the West, when in-laws are involved it’s always like this.
Of course, not all are like that.
Because I have a father-in-law who is just as wonderful as my husband.
I am living a grateful day every day because of those who constantly remind me of how happy it is to be loved.
A supportive person who knows my heart that I can lean on at any time without having to say anything.
I am living a happy life with my loving family. Trimaine and Drizella are also doing well.
But why did it end with the conclusion that ‘Cinderella lived happily ever after with the Prince’?
It turned out that it was because of the rumors spread by the royal family. In other words, it was a kind of a PR move for the royal family.
Presumably, from the point of view of the royal family, it seems that it was more difficult for the royal family to accept that I, her step-sister, lived more happily ever after than Ella.
Tsk tsk. It would be simple if you just treat her warmly. It is unknown why they are trying to manage the image of the royal family by spreading false information, but Ella seemed to be satisfied with the fact that she is happy at least in the rumors.
Upon learning of the selfish behavior of the royal family, Drake was of course angry and I managed to stop him after telling him that we didn’t have to care what others thought of us.
Instead, he resigned from his position in the Guards Corps because he could no longer receive trust from the royal family, and thanks to that, he is enjoying a much more leisurely life than before.
Anyway, for that reason, I became the naughty older sister who tormented Cinderella. This is my life so far.
“What are you thinking of?”
I glanced at him, blinking my eyes at the friendly yet respectful voice that awakened my thoughts.
Whenever I see him, I see myself filled within his blue eyes that make my heart flutter.
Calming my heavy chest, I quietly stretched the tip of my lips.
