A Cinderella Story: Glittering Wishes Chapter 4
"No, father, you don't understand...It's never been my thought to let
just any eligible maiden in the kingdom to wear this glass slipper of
hers...This one - it belongs to her and her alone...We don't need to try
it on anyone else!" The Prince (Prince Charming) strongly urged his
father, the King, when the latter suggested his way to seek out the girl
in the gorgeous silvery gown who had fled from their palace since
around midnight.
The King, clueless as he was as to why his defiant son would insist to object to his idea, seemed to be at a lost for words on what else to say, nudged his Grand Duke to his side and inquired in a whisper, "Do you get what is he trying to argue with me here?"
Wondering and trying to read the downcast Prince's expression and posture, the Grand Duke quietly cleared his throat and whispered back to the King's ear, "He's just disappointed and not agreeing for us to look for that elusive maiden on his behalf, your Majesty..."
The King's eyes widened in enlightenment and gasped, "Oh, so you meant to say he wants to do everything by himself...?"
The Grand Duke swallowed hard, after being heavily rebuked by the King back in his chamber suite a while ago, heart thumping wildly and worrying if he has really gotten the Prince's implication clear enough. Heaving a wordless prayer and face so pale, he nodded in submission to the King without daring to look him in the eye...
One...Two...Three...Four...Five seconds finally elapsed and the Grand Duke received a knee-jerking strong pat on the back by his Majesty. The whole suite of the Prince resounded with deafening applause by the King. The old man then cheered aloud and went up to his son saying, "Congratulations! Congratulations, dear! So at long last, you've found your one and only sweetheart! Papa is extremely overjoyed for you!"
The Prince's face instinctly lit up before his jovial father, "Really, father...I'm sorry if I have unintentionally embarrassed you in front of so many of your subjects..."
The King only laughed aloud and patted his precious son's arms (due to his height, he was not able to reach up to his shoulders), "Oh no, no, no...You brought a blessing to me...and the whole kingdom...Never be so hard up on yourself, dear!"
He could not be more grateful, "Thanks, father...Now, I'm really not regretting at all that you held the ball for me..."
Another round of hearty laugh and the King gave a playful wink at him, "Heaven knows...but now onto the point...There's just one condition I would ask of you, son..."
The Prince and the Grand Duke immediately paid serious attention as the King cleared his throat and declared before them, "As you know, your papa and your mama's anniversary will again be approaching very soon...Heartaches and loss...will fill my heart once again..."
They could sympathised with him...A heavy sigh and the King went on to say, "If you could just be so kind, my dear son...to make this year something different...as soon or as swiftly as you could..."
The King began to sob and tears very quickly trickled down his eyes...The Prince understood well enough who was meant to be the answer...

Cinderella's Story: Glittering Wishes Chapter 3
"Well, I don't see why there isn't a possibility that the letter was
addressed to someone who has the same name as my mother's..." Cinderella
gave in after some deep thought and decided to place the letter back
into the mailbox. Jaq, Gus and the rest were utterly crestfallen, for
their hopes were extremely let up a minute ago.
Just as Cinderella did so for the sake of moral honesty, she gasped in surprise the moment she opened up the creaky and rusty metal mailbox...
"What's that shining star, Cinderellie?!" Jaq hopped right into the box and pointed out rather strong glimmers radiating from some fine object resting inside, so bright and shining against the darkness all around that all their other friends by the girl's side quickly came up close to behold the wonder.
Cinderella could not really decide whether to reach for it, hence Jaq whistled loud for Gus, Ben and Nac to lift the whole mysterious item up for her to look at it with clarity.
"Here you go, Cinderellie! What do you think of this?!" Jaq and the rest cheered for her to make some hopeful discovery.
Cinderella could not refrain herself from gasping in awe again, as they all moved with all their might to place the thing onto her open palms. "Oh my...I can't believe this..." She would not have expected an unexpected miracle of blessing as this...
The object was a sparkling diamond studded key...with the name of "Cinderella Bliss" meticulously engraved on it. Bruno and Major who were looking on were overly surprised.
"What does it say, Cinderellie?!" Jaq, Gus and the rest all nagged her on to tell them.
A tear or two fell from her eyes as she said touchingly, "Cinderella Bliss, that's my name..."
They all could gasp and shout in exhilaration by now, "Hurray! It's for our dear Cinderellie! Wonder! Wonder!"
Cinderella cautiously hushed them, but before she could ever succeed, more voices and cheers resounded from down the opening of the front door of the once quiet chateau home right behind them...
"Cinderellie! You're finally here!"
"How's the ball?!"
"Did you dance happily?!"
They were all Suzy and the rest of the female mice who helped out with the many tedious sewing work of Cinderella's mother's old gown for the girl to go to the ball earlier on, surprising Cinderella and the others immensely.
"Oh my...Suzy...Meg...Rin...How did you all manage to come to this place?" Cinderella opened up her palms for them to hop in, still could not fully believing what on earth was happening all of a sudden...
With a big wide smile, Suzy snapped her fingers and crossed her arms to answer, "Fairy Godmother just sent us here while you were on your way and have gone to the ball!"
