Chapter 7 Running away (on the shelf)
The dance slowly began. After His Highness the Prince and Cindrila danced, the dance officially began. Men took the initiative to find the lady they liked, and Cindrila became the most popular candidate.
A dance party does not only mean to dance with one person. Except for the more meaningfulness of the first dance, the rest depends on the individual's wishes and has no other meaning. It is equivalent to a sport, such as playing a badminton game.
So everyone else wanted to have a more intimate contact with Cinderella. This was the first time that Cinderella was so popular. This not only made her a little fluttering, but the remaining reason still told her that it would be better not to agree to those people's requests.
Unless they are some people with special hobbies, ordinary people will not want the person they like to be close to others. Cinderella's purpose is to become a princess, so it is better to refuse at this stage.
As they retreated one by one, the other men also understood that they had missed the best opportunity. If nothing unexpected happened, the beautiful lady should be the princess in the future.
But at this time, everyone suddenly realized that there was another good show. Cinderella's two sisters had a high opinion of themselves and looked down on some noble men with poor conditions. They originally thought they would be the center of the dance party, but in the end they actually fell in love with them, which made them angry.
Seeing Cinderella having a pleasant conversation with Cinderella, the two sisters felt aggrieved and walked directly towards the prince. Sister Charlotte clamped her voice and said to the prince gracefully: "Your Highness, I wonder if I can be lucky enough to invite you to dance?"
Then Charlotte saw Cinderella standing aside and continued to say in her sharp and mean voice: "You won't mind, this lady, if you mind, you'll be too scrupulous."
Obviously, Cinderella became the central focus of everyone, which made Charlotte jealous. The focus should be her. Her superior life since childhood and her lawless position in the family made Charlotte unable to see herself clearly.
In order to show etiquette at the dance party, men usually invite women. At this time, women have the right to refuse. Although women can also invite men, in order to reflect their own reserve, women generally do not do this. And once they do this, men generally cannot refuse unless the other party hates the woman very much.
Charlotte had a high opinion of himself. She thought that with her situation, the prince would agree. As long as he danced with the prince, the prince would definitely fall in love with him. Putting aside the bitch in the blue dress, who knew that at this time he heard His Highness the prince say with a cold face: "Sorry, I won't dance with a petty lady."
"You..." Charlotte's expression stagnated, and the smug expression facing Cinderella instantly froze on her face. She turned around in disbelief and looked at His Royal Highness, who looked cold, how dare he treat a beautiful lady like this. He is such a bad, rude and despicable person. Such a person would actually be a prince.
"Your Highness, please take back your rude words, I..." Charlotte shouted in a sharp voice, throwing all the original pretentious elegance, looking like a shrew, and was about to say unpleasant words.
Fortunately, at this time, my sister Katie hurriedly grabbed Charlotte, and the stepmother and Baron rushed over also quickly apologized: "I'm very sorry for your highness. I'm not strict in discipline, which makes everyone laugh."
"No need to be sorry, I just hope that the Baron will pay attention to the upbringing of his children and not let them lose the face of the nobles." Prince William waved his hand indifferently.
"I'm so sorry." The baron and his wife were so scared that they broke out in cold sweat. He was a nobleman who had no fiefdom and no real power. If he really offended the prince, he would not be able to be punished directly, but those who wanted to please the prince would take the initiative to make things difficult for them, and their future life would probably be extremely difficult.
Katie, who was standing beside her, was much smarter than her sister. She said in a weak voice: "I'm very sorry for your noble prince. My sister is rude and embarrassing you. I'll give you a cup of gratitude and thank you for your generous and tolerant."
"I think my sister is just too excited to see Your Highness Prince. After all, Your Highness Prince is so handsome. I also deeply admire Your Highness Prince. I wonder if Your Highness Prince is willing to dance with me?" Katie maintained a look of admiration on her face, but she was very proud.
His Highness the prince had rejected her sister before, and after her words just now she belittled her sister and raised herself, and gave an invitation that a normal gentleman would not refuse.
In psychology, a person will feel guilty after rejecting others, so when the other party makes the second first request, the person may be embarrassed to refuse the second time.
This kind of psychological trick is something we may use in our daily life. People are not used to rejecting others for the second time. For example, if you borrow a mobile phone from a stranger and others are worried that you are a liar and don’t borrow it, you ask him to help send a text message again. As long as you are not a person with a bad temper, you will generally agree.
Although Katie does not understand psychology, she has experience in this technique. For example, she often uses this technique when she asks for expensive perfumes and clothing from her businessman named Uncle, who is actually her father and lover.
Of course, this technique is not 100% successful. For example, now, His Highness the Prince frowned and said, "Sorry, I'm a little tired. Please forgive me for not being able to dance with you."
Katie's face froze, but she was better than her sister. She forced her smile and used her last strength to suppress her anger and said, "Sorry, I'm disturbing Your Highness."
Cinderella looked at the two retreating sisters and felt indescribable comfort. She looked at His Highness the Prince with admiration. How handsome and perfect he is, and I am about to become his princess and enjoy his pampering.
But then Cinderella's face changed. At some point, Lu Li stood in her sight and competed with her for a while. Her originally cheerful mood cooled down. She looked at the bell over there, and it was already half past eleven before she knew it.
Before I could think too much, Cinderella hurriedly said to the prince: "Your Highness, I still have this urgent matter. Please forgive me for being rude and leave first."
After saying that, Cinderella walked outside with her long skirt. The prince's expression flashed a little, but she still chased after her and said with a smile: "I don't know if Miss Cindy has something urgent. I think I can still help."
"Prince, please come back. I have something urgent to do. I will come again tomorrow night!" Cinderella was anxious, but she could not reveal it all. Her steps had to keep the elegant and fast walking out.
Suddenly there was a riot in the crowd. A person seemed to be tripped by something and fell in front of the prince. Cinderella seized the opportunity and quickly got into the pumpkin carriage, disappearing in a flash.
Seeing that Cinderella was not necessarily gone, Prince William flashed an interesting smile, looked around, and made an invitation gesture to a corner.
