The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 321: Cinderella [told by Sigrid, ruined by Iryne.] 1

"Oh. That makes much more sense now." Lady Iryne exhaled gently, touching her chest like she had been so stressed but got some relief. "So she had step sisters. Was her father dead or was it her mother?"

"It is not a question and answer session mother." Sigrid retorted.

Lord Paxton drew back his wife and put a finger to his lips. Gesturing that she should keep quiet for a while.

Sigrid sent him a grateful smile. "Her father had died and she had a wicked stepmother and two horrible sisters."

"Ah, the wicked stepmother category." Lady Iryne giggled.

Sigrid inhaled sharply. She also ignored the chuckles of Cosmos in her ears. "As I was saying, she had a wicked step mother. From a young age, she was responsible for doing all the chores in the house."

Lady Iryne gasped. "So, she was a servant. At least tell me she was paid. Lady Percival made her cousin’s daughter do chores all through winter and the girl’s mother is suing her for treating her daughter as an unpaid servant. Legal status of your servants is very important these days."

"Speaking of servants, we need new ones as we have had to terminate three of them for making moon eyes at Roland." Duchess Mila stirred from her half-asleep state.

"Can everyone please allow me to finish the story first?" Sigrid yelled. "Moving on--there was a prince in that kingdom who had yet to marry."

"Like you Elowin." Lady Iryne pointed out.

That particular jab managed to get some laughs from the listeners.

For Sigrid, it made her bite her teeth and seriously consider stuffing a sock in her mother’s mouth. "So.." She raised her voice, "The king and queen decided to hold a ball at the castle and all the young maidens in the land such that they could find a wife for their son. Cinderella wanted to attend the ball, but her stepmother wouldn’t let her---"
