Chapter 2

Charlotte was dragged to the castle and between the way she got to know that she is this " QUEEN CINDERELLA ! "

" my lady the competition will start in half an hour so until then you can rest " Elizabeth, her maid informed. " yeah, I want to be alone " Charlotte told her. " yes my lady, just call me whenever you need me " she closed the door behind.

Charlotte now queen Cinderella sat on the soft bed reflecting on the past event, " queen Cinderella? seriously? she thought, ' am I in some Disney movie, where is the camera? " she looked around but found none. " this can't be true. no " she fell on the bed, " ouch! " something pocked her head, she noticed she had a crown on her head. she took that off and looked at it, " it's diamond " she spoke touching it, " and a real one " she placed it aside on the bed.

" I don't know what is going on and how did I suddenly end up here after wearing those shoes.

" wait those shoes! "

she raised her gown reveling her smooth and straight legs, she was wearing those silver shoes, " what if I take them off? " she wondered and took them off, she was back at the road sitting on the bench, " oh my! I am back! " she wore them again and she was back at the castle.

" so as soon as I take them off I will be back to my normal life, it's amazing! " she smiled and closed her eyes. " Cinderella Cinderella close your eyes, you are the queen now be a little wise " she chuckled murmuring this song.

" my lady.. my lady.. " Charlotte felt somebody shaking her, she opened her eyes and looked at the girl in front of her, " Elizabeth.. " she murmured and closed her eyes again, " my lady! get up now, we are going to be late for the competition! " she screamed on her face, waking her up.

" oh my dear god " Charlotte held her heart and looked at her maid, " sorry my lady, we are late " Elizabeth blushed looking down.

Elizabeth helped her dress. she dressed her up in a beautiful red off shoulder gown, the gown was decorated with small glittery butterflies and sparkling stones. the off shoulder dress flaunted her tender shoulder, then Elizabeth moved to her beautiful brown hair. she styled her hair in a half bun and placed the crown on her head. she moved back and left her to examine herself in front of the big mirror, " oh my god! I look so beautiful! " Charlotte was shocked to see this, she moved close to the mirror, touched her face and discovered that the beautiful girl in the mirror was her.

" my lady, you should change your heels. I will go and get the red ones " Elizabeth kneeled down to take off her silver heels. " no! " Charlotte moved back quickly, she saw Elizabeth looking at her strangely she quickly proceed to explain, " I am comfortable in these shoes, I wouldn't change them " she spoke coldly, like a cold queen.

" yes my lady " Elizabeth bowed in front of her.

" All of you rise, Queen Cinderella is coming "

a voice echoed in the room and Charlotte steeped inside the court room. she scanned every face with her golden eyes, their were some middle aged man, young man and a bunch of soldiers. they all stood up from their seats. she slowly walked towards her throne and stood in front of it, " eh, now I have to order them to sit " she thought.

" you may sit now " she ordered in a cold voice and sat down in her throne, her throne was decorated with red stones and diamonds, it looked elegant.

silence, their was a awkward silence in the court room. everyone looked at their queen silently who looked back at them. " why are they looking at me like that? what shall I say next " Charlotte awkwardly looked at Elizabeth who was standing behind her throne. seeing her lady's awkward look Elizabeth stepped forward and whispered in her ear, " my lady you have to order them to start the competition. "

ahem!

Charlotte cleared her throat, " I declare the competition open, you my begin. "

The whole court room echoed with the sound of clapping and cheering.

" my lady, first we have Prince of Gorgien. prince Truz dacoz " General George announced in the court room.

A young man in navy blue uniform steeped in, he had his sword in one of his hand and the other hand held his cape. " my lady, I am Truz dacoz. if you chose me i will protect you and rule..

" next " Charlotte waved her hand. she was bored.

" sorry young man, our queen don't want you " General Georgia apologized, " you may return " he informed him.

Truz stamped his feet and returned back to his place.

" now we have Prince of Alana, prince David Manson. " another young man entered inside the court room and introduced himself and his qualities. Charlotte refused him as well.

Charlotte yawned and waved her hand, she was now comfortable being the queen.

" I am tired, it's all for today. we will start again tomorrow " Charlotte declared getting up from her throne. Elizabeth followed behind her.

" we will resume the competition tomorrow " General George announced, and everyone started getting out of the court room.

" my lady " Elizabeth whispered looking around.

" hmm" Charlotte responded taking off her heavy crown.

" none of the prince were worthy of being our king "

" yeah, I think so too " Charlotte replied closing her golden eyes.

" my lady, have you ever fallen in...in love? "

Charlotte opened her eyes immediately.

" my lady, have you ever fallen in...in love? "

Charlotte opened her eyes immediately.

" love" this word felt strange to her.

" no, not yet. what about you? " she flipped over and looked at Elizabeth. Elizabeth looked down and smiled " my lady I think I am in love. "

"really? who is that? " Charlotte moved closer and looked at her.

" he is... Elizabeth looked down shyly " do you want to meet him my lady? "

Charlotte was shocked " can i? " she asked.

" yes, of course " Elizabeth assured her.

Charlotte looked at Elizabeth " Elizabeth where are your parents? " she always wondered where her parents were and where did she live. Charlotte liked Elizabeth, she was the only person who was nice and kind to her.

" they are dead my lady " she answered as a tear rolled down her cheeks. " I was three years old when my parents died since then I was living with my aunt, but she sold me here, in the palace. " Elizabeth looked up and continued " now I don't know what happened to my aunt, I am a orphan.

Charlotte was shocked and heartbroken after hearing this she placed her hand on top of Elizabeth's hand " Elizabeth... you are not a orphan, you have me with you " Elizabeth looked at Charlotte with tears in her eyes as she nodded.

" where do you live now... I mean after completing your work where do you go?

" I have a hut my lady " Elizabeth replied embarrassingly.
