Another Cinderella Story. Chapter 32
General Marcus started to remember the war twenty years ago. Back then, the continent consisted of four kingdoms: Geneva to the north, Avalon to the south, Wales at the center, and Sparta to the far east.“I was just a lieutenant in the Wales army back then when the war broke out,” General Marcus started. “Sparta was the biggest and the most powerful of the four kingdoms back then."“That was what my mother told me too,” Erik corroborated. “She was a Spartan.”“Yes, your mother was a Spartan. Hence, her knowledge of the ancient powers,” General Marcus said. “Spartans were gifted with the use and knowledge of magic. Some people used it for good while others used it for bad."“When the mad king sat in Sparta’s throne, it became worse,” Erik said.“Yes. The Spartan royal family was the most powerful magic users of all. And they had access to forbidden magic,” General Marcus sighed. “The mad king saw that the Spartan kingdom was more superior to others and wanted to rule the whole contine

Here's the corrected passage:The royal family of Sparta is a frightening enemy. Not only do they have high magical powers, they are also good in physical combat. Whether sword battles or hand-to-hand combat, they are formidable opponents on the battlefield.“I have known that from experience,” General Marcus said. “They are fearsome indeed. If it weren’t for the common people of Sparta’s help, we couldn’t have won that war. They also saw the craziness of the mad king in using the forbidden magic.But they weren’t able to save their kingdom in the end, and it sank in the vast ocean,” Erik countered.General Marcus sighed. “That forbidden magic is really a frightening power.”“Well, it's not called forbidden for nothing, right?” Erik said sarcastically.“We have to look for and stop them from acquiring this fearsome magic,” General Marcus resolved.“Even if it’s your son-in-law, the king?” Erik asked.He looked at the General seriously, trying to read his reaction. General Marcus looke

Kyler cringed within him. “General Marcus is really something; he can talk to the Crown Prince like an equal, and he’s not affected by his overwhelming aura”. He thought within himself. He was in the room with them all the time, but he was like an ant in the lion's den.These two people have an imposing aura of greatness; he felt small in their presence.“You think I want Isabella because she has the blood of the Royal family of Sparta?” Erik asked sarcastically.“Yes,” General Marcus said. “The Royal family of Sparta has unique features that can only be recognized by the older generation, they have platinum blonde hair and silver eyes”. And you think I know of this?” Erik asked. “ As you said, “only the old ones remember the features of the royal family of Sparta; that history has been erased from the books of this continent. Just mentioning their name is taboo.”“Don’t make a fool of me, Crown Prince; I may be old, but I am not foolish. I know the royal knowledge network of Avalon ru
Another Cinderella Story. Chapter 35
At the border that connects Wales and Geneva, inside a thick and dense forest, there was a small cottage. A young man in his twenties, with platinum blonde hair and silver eyes, was sitting on a bench outside. Around the cottage, there was a thin layer of white fog enveloping it like a curtain.“Your highness,” a voice came from behind him. “The elite guards of Avalon are still searching for us in the forest. Is it safe sitting outside?”“Do not worry,” the platinum blonde-haired boy assured him. “They can’t find us with my cloaking spell.”“Your magic skills are improving, young Prince Klaus,” a middle-aged man emerged from the cottage.“I have been practicing since I was young,” Klaus said. “My mother taught me so well.”“True. It’s a shame that she died prematurely,” the man said.“And why is the priest of Geneva Cathedral here, Priest Haden?” Klaus asked, looking angrily at the middle-aged man wearing his priestly uniform. “As you can see, we are being pursued by the elite guards

It’s been two weeks since Isabella started to study the art of sword. Erik gave her a light sword at first, assuring her that he will make it heavier once her strength improves in the near future.They practice the sword every afternoon in her courtyard. Mornings consist of studies in history, politics and literature."Very good. Keep your stance to balance your body." Erik instructed.Isabella was swinging her sword at him, watching his every movements as she calculated and anticipated his every strike.She was able to dodge his attacks and he was also able to block hers. After some time, in split seconds, she missed his movements and her sword flew from her hand. Erik’s sword was pointed at her throat. She was shocked, looking at the tip of his sword shining from the rays of light coming from the sun."I yield." She said panting."You did well." Erik replied, panting as well. He took a deep breath and sheaths his sword."I still have much to learn." She said."In just two weeks

"What is the meaning of this?" The queen yelled. "Let go of me!"Isabella didn’t realize that she still had her grip on the queen’s wrist. She was pulling her hand forcefully,so Isabella quickly let her go."Ahhh!" The queen went out of balance and fell on the ground."Mother!" Her stepsisters said in unison. They kneeled down to help their mother."You ungrateful wench!" Her elder stepsister Helena yelled. "How could you do that to queen mother?!""But she said to let her go." Isabella said innocently."Well that was what I heard as well." Erik backed her up. His face had a big smile."How dare you laugh at the queen?!" Camila yelled. "Guards, seize him!"The queen’s guards moved forward to seize him when Isabella blocked their way."No!" She yelled with a surprised force and authority.The people around were taken by surprise. This was the first time Isabella had yelled so loud. She was known to be meek and silent.But thinking about what her stepmother would do to Erik made her st

"Nonsense!" yelled. "If you open the bandage then the wound will get infected. You are asking this of my sister to ruin her face, don’t you?"Helena stepped forward and defended her younger sister."Williams, son. Are you sure of what you saw? Maybe you were just mistaken." The queen sweet talked her son. But Williams stood firm in his resolve."I am sure of what I saw." Williams said. "I was going to Camila’s courtyard to pay her a surprise visit. I heard she was recovering from her burns so I got some ointment from the royal physician Dr. Crane. But who knew my sister didn’t need it.""What? When did you visit?" Camila asked worriedly. "Maybe you saw it by mistake. Sometimes the lighting in my courtyard is dim.""I came to visit you three days ago at noon time. The sun was up in the sky and it was so bright. I cannot be mistaken." Williams answered firmly.’I was careless.’ Camila thought inwardlyShe looked worried. She didn’t anticipate that her little brother will make a surprise

She was right. If General Marcus and the crown prince were not here to defend Isabella, then the queen would have punished her. If Williams wasn’t here to tell them that Camila was lying, then Erik would have fought with the queen’s guard and be branded as a traitor to the kingdom.Isabella saw what they were aiming for. They wanted Erik to be out of the way so that Isabella would lose my defender. They still want to bully her despite everything they have done since she came into the palace. Isabella knew there will be no end to this hatred. If she doesn’t stand up for herself now, it will get worse.Rage burned up inside her. She walked towards Camila in a daze. She couldn’t seem to stop herself, to stop her body from moving forward.’SLAP!’ The sound of the slap rang around the courtyard.Camila was holding her cheek, the one that Isabella have just slapped. She looked at Isabella with shock and disbelief."You bitch!!! How dare you..." Camila yelled.’SLAP!’ Isabella hit her on th
