Ella was happy because Prince Charming had shown interest in her. She twirled around joyfully, unable to stand still.
Servant: "Young lady, please don't slide down the banisters!"
Ella was used to sliding down the railings to get downstairs.
Ella: "Sorry, I'm just so excited!" She ran quickly.
Ella entered Prince Charming's room and sat on the couch.
Ella: "Good morning!"
Charming calmly said: "Good morning."
Ella: "I thought about it last night and realized I don't know anything about your past. I don't know what happened, but there must be a reason why you act so coldly."
Charming looked at Ella and said: "My past isn't interesting, so don't ask about it."
Ella: "I see, then I won't ask about it."
Charming: "I thought about what you said yesterday. From today, I want to try to be kinder to you."
Ella: "You are always kind to me, Your highness." She smiled.
Charming, a bit embarrassed, said: "This time, I want to be truly kind, without any ill intentions."
Ella, happy, said: "I'm glad to hear that."
Ella had a good day with Prince Charming. That night, a gentle breeze was blowing. Ella went outside to feel refreshed.
Ella: "I should go back now..."
Suddenly, a man covered Ella's mouth and made her unconscious.
Charming was walking in the garden.
Charming: "Why do I have such a bad feeling?" He felt a bit nervous.
Ella screamed: "Someone help me!"
Charming quickly ran towards Ella and saw a man had grabbed her.
"If you want to see her again, you must abandon the throne."
The man threw Ella over his shoulder and took her away.
Charming shouted: "Ella!"
The king angrily said: "That girl has been kidnapped?!"
Charming kneeled before the king: "This is my mistake, please give me another chance, Your Majesty."
King: "This is your mistake, so you must take responsibility. I'll give you one chance: find the girl and bring her back to the palace."
Charming: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Charming made a fist, placed it on his chest, and bowed. Then he went to find Ella.
Ella was in a warehouse, tied to a wooden post with a cloth gag over her mouth. She thought: "I want to see you, Charming..."
Someone opened the door and entered the warehouse. It was Termina.
With a wicked smile, Termina walked towards Ella: "Poor girl, it's your fault for messing with me." She held a cloth in front of Ella's face, laughing wickedly and mocking her.
Ella, scared, thought: "How did she escape from prison?!"
Termina grabbed Ella's cheek: "Are you about to cry out of fear, little girl?" She laughed.
Ella was on the verge of tears but didn't want to show weakness in front of Termina, holding back her tears with difficulty.
A man entered the warehouse: "I told you to treat her properly, Termina."
Termina frowned: "I haven't done anything yet."
The man said: "Evil radiates from your face, Termina." He smiled.
Termina: "This is nothing, Your highness." She smiled.
Ella thought: "Did she say 'your highness'?
"Sorry for not introducing myself. I am Augustus, the first prince of this land."
Ella was alone in the warehouse, trying to free her hands and escape.
Ella thought: "Prince Charming's position is in danger; I must find a way to free myself!"
Augustus: "It's been a long time, Charming."
Charming: "You haven't changed, Augustus."
Charming had come to rescue Ella. He was in a difficult position and had to choose between the throne and Ella.
Augustus: "Don't worry, I've treated the girl well; she's safe and sound. All you have to do is give up the throne to me, and I'll set her free."
Charming, coldly: "That girl doesn't matter to me."
Augustus, angrily: "Bring the girl here, I want to kill her in front of Charming!"
One of Augustus' subordinates: "She's not here!"
Augustus: "What?! How did she escape?!"
Here's the English translation:
Ella: "I need to get back to the palace; they must be really worried about me."
Termina: "You're not going anywhere!"
Ella thought: "Damn, why now, of all times?!"
Termina grabbed Ella's wrist: "Because of you, I was thrown in prison. I escaped, and Prince Augustus helped me."
Termina looked into Ella's eyes: "Did you think I'd let you escape now that I have such a good opportunity?" She laughed.
Augustus: "Search everywhere, she can't have gone far!" He was a bit anxious.
Charming: "Stupid girl, why does she always make me worry?"
Ella screamed: "I'm here!"
Charming: "Ella?!"
Termina: "Damn it, you blew my cover!"
Charming quickly followed the sound and saw Termina holding Ella with a knife to her neck.
Termina shouted: "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill her!"
Charming, surprised: "Termina?!"
Termina: "It doesn't matter how many times I get married or how many people I sacrifice, no one can stop me!"
Charming: "I'll forgive you and let you go, just release the girl."
Termina laughed: "You think you can trick me? I've dealt with worse people than you."
Ella: "Charming!"
Termina: "I'll kill you and get rid of you forever!" She laughed.
Suddenly, Augustus killed Termina with his sword.
Augustus, frowning: "People like her annoy me."
