Waking up as Cinderella's Stepsister - Chapter 4.1

The inside of the rattling carriage was enveloped in uncomfortable silence. Trimaine turned her head and looked out of her window, Drizella fumed like a middle schooler whose phone was taken away.

“How a person be that cruel? If you were going to do that, then don't make it in the first place. What is the symbol of dress ripping on the day of the ball?”

Ella's desperate eyes were already killing me, but Drizella added with her words.

Instead of replying, I sighed quietly.

That’s right. How can you fathom the depths of my heart?

‘Mother and sisters should go.’

It was Ella who persuaded Drizella to go. However, Drizella must have known that she would have attended even without Ella’s persuasion. Ignoring an invitation with a royal seal was seen as more than disrespectful, it was a grave felony.

'I… I'll be doing some housework.’

Like the heroine in the book, Ella covered her mouth and ran out sobbing. The uncomfortable atmosphere subsided more heavily due to the "sob" noises she made as she ran out.

In the midst of such a tomb-like silence, we finally arrived at the royal palace.

Drizella, who seemed like she would eat me up, couldn’t hide her curious expression and twinkling eyes when she arrived at the royal palace. As expected, a child was a child.

The palace, which we were guided through, was larger and more splendid than I had imagined. Even though I tried not to, but due to the beautiful and magnificent sight, my mouth kept opening wide.

The clothes of the people filling the banquet hall were also very luxurious. They were chatting leisurely instead of exuding rustic flair like us. I slowly moved to the corner, noticing my lack of qualifications.
