Cinderella Crazy
Stay inside, Madam

Workers working in the Midgraff family residence were shocked by the presence of a young woman who was just 20 years old. His face was so cheerful and his manner was so pleasing.

She was young, but the girl looked much younger, like she was only 16 or 17.

Although not part of her job, the girl helped the workers there with great zeal.

By holding all the questions in their minds, the workers were carried away by the happy atmosphere that the girl was emitting. Their work also felt much lighter than usual.

"Be careful on the road, miss." Greetings Bellena with a big smile.

Just 2 days free from Ashley's activities, Bellena realizes how beautiful the world she lives in is.

I don't know why the air he breathes feels fresher and the sunlight feels so warm. He feels his future is very bright and his age will be long.

Ashley looked at him for a moment.

"Lo looks like a smile."

Bellena was silent for a few seconds still with a cheerful smile clinging onto her face, before she quickly lowered her body.

"Agod, Miss!"

The light that radiated within him suddenly disappeared.

He always felt his age was shortened due to the threat and pressure Ashley always gave him. He also felt the aging of himself due to the endless worry he always felt when around the evil goddess.

Ashley laughs and allows Bellena to return, before then leaving for the casino on her family train.

Bellena continued to bow until the carriage Ashley was riding out of the gate.

Again, the cheerfulness returned. He lifted his head with a big smile that had disappeared earlier. The girl went back inside feeling free, without any burden.

...****************...

Arriving at the casino. As before, Ashley's horse carriage was waiting in front of there, seizing the attention of several other nobles. Ashley who was already inside spent her time trying out other games.

While learning a new game, a man stands next to him.

"Wanna try?"

Without having to look at that person, Ashley had already recognized him. Not from the sound, precisely from the scent of perfume that person was wearing. The woman already knew who was standing there even before Daryl asked her to speak.

"His bet?"

"Take off your mask, maybe?" He answered, even though he had seen the woman's face.

"Relatedly? You also release one thing that you use if you lose."

Daryl turned to the woman he was talking to. He doubted. He wasn't sure everything he was wearing, including his underwear, would be enough to guarantee Ashley's turn to unmask him.

"Don't mask then." The answer is to replace the unequal bet.

In the end, since Ashley still had about 100 coins, they bet using their coins normally. This time no information was revealed, but Daryl was much more relaxed when Ashley mocked him.

A little different from yesterday, Ashley who left with 300 gold coins, is now back with 480 gold coins. With a capital of 100 gold coins, the woman could even earn a profit of almost 400%.

Not really a bad strategy, Daryl just focused too much on his plan. He thought too much about anticipation to be unreadable by the opponent, but also did not try to read the opponent. Without realizing it Ashley always took advantage of things he ignored and managed to win.

Being able to spend time with that woman alone is enough to satisfy Daryl. Even Ashley's taunts were fun for the man whose emotions had died.

Spending time with Daryl was fun for Ashley, too. Because he can get his money back. What did you expect?

The next day, the weather in Vinnas was not very sunny. The sun is only visible occasionally before it is finally covered in clouds.

That day Marion will set off to visit the inauguration of a new hotel built by the Moro family. Since Vincent had to attend another event, he could not go with Marion. As a result, he only went accompanied by his loyal personal servant and a knight who always escorted him.

It was noon, and Marion's carriage was ready to wait for her at the main door.

Cloudy clouds began to envelop the sky there. They rushed off before it rained.

A girl who had just been exercising strengthened the muscles in her body, staring out the window. He waved his hand when he realized his stepmother was also looking at the window of his room.

Without returning Ashley's hand, Marion and 3 others left her new family's residence.

...****************...

Lightning began to strike just before they left Lozan's border gate. Cloudy clouds that were directly above them were seen no longer able to hold water.

Rain had started to fall since they entered the valley of the Hibis region. The drops of water falling from the sky were getting more and more swift, making the visibility of their coachman disturbed.

The knight escorting Marion offered to find a place to fight for a while if she felt uncomfortable. However, Marion chose to continue on the journey. Maybe he misses his family so much that he can't delay it anymore.

Although they slowed down, they continued their journey. Because of the slippery road, the coachman had to be more careful when controlling his horse-drawn carriage.

Only the sound of rain and the rumbling of lightning had been heard before, until when a loud bang was heard from the front of the carriage.

Their horses became a little uncontrollable in shock. Sensing the shock of being in the carriage, Marion asked about what had happened.

"Stay inside, Madam." The knight spoke briefly before Marion could finish her sentence.

Not long after, there was the sound of laughter from some people outside. Knowing that they are being attacked, Marion's personal servant tries to do something to protect her mistress.

The sound of commotion started to sound clearly. Some people pounded the door of the train manun then disappeared no longer heard. The Marion Knights were indeed very reliable, but the number of people attacking them was overwhelming.

Not bandits.

The knight was convinced that they were someone's man. As part of the eastern faction, he suspected it was the western faction that was behind the attack.

As the assassins flirted with the attention of the Marion knight, two of them went to the carriage door. One of them was in charge of overseeing while the other was in charge of getting rid of Marion.

Although locked, the man managed to force open the horse carriage door by damaging its hinges. He saw the two women in there who were looking at him with frightened faces. He then pulled one of them in an expensive dress and was about to stab him in the face.

The woman in the maid outfit behind her back tried to get in her way despite knowing she was going to be late.

"Don't!"
