Before reaching the door, I heard two low murmurs.
“Damn it! Miss Belia has been out fooling around and still hasn’t come back.”
“Maggie, nobles often party all night, it’s normal.”
“Miss Natasia would never do such a thing! Poor Miss Natasia, ever since Mr. Leonard left, she has become a neglected little girl…”
“Shh, I heard… Mr. Leonard was killed by his wife and her lover, just to inherit his estate.”
“…Oh, poor Mr. Leonard, oh poor Miss Natasia, she is so unfortunate…”
“Meow.”
Late at night, a sharp cat cry suddenly sounded.
The whispering servants were startled, and when they turned their heads, they saw a black shadow outside the kitchen:
“Who?! Who is there?!”
When that head of dazzling golden hair appeared, the servants visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly became pale with fear, as if they had seen a ghost:
“Miss… Miss Belia?! Why… why are you here?”
Yuzhou bent down and picked up the black cat that was meowing at her feet, her cherry-like lips curled up:
“Did my mother kill Uncle Leonard? Oh, I should really call the temple’s divine agents to come and have a look. They missed one divine patron here, my mother is actually capable of divine arts, capable of controlling the winds and waves at sea.”
Cinderella’s father had died at sea while trading.
The book did not provide a clear explanation of this segment, and the attitude was ambiguous. Yuzhou didn’t know the truth for sure either. But there were indeed rumors that Natasia’s stepmother had killed her husband in order to inherit his estate.
However, since she had taken on the role of Belia, she naturally had to deny it until the truth was revealed.
Yuzhou’s gaze fell on the stairs, and a section of a skirt revealed itself, a slender figure hidden in the darkness.
The servants’ faces looked awkward:
“Yes, yes, Miss Belia is correct.”
“Prepare some pancakes and toast, I’m hungry.”
Yuzhou raised her chin arrogantly, “Also, from now on, I don’t want to hear you speak such words again. Otherwise, I, Belia Fergus, will have to send you to Soren prison for a while.”
“Yes, yes…”
The servants fell silent.
Today’s Miss Fergus, clearly didn’t break anything or throw a tantrum, but she was a hundred times scarier than usual, especially when she smiled and said she would “deduct half a month’s salary,” it was even more intimidating.
Yuzhou carried the black cat to the living room.
The skirt behind the stairs disappeared.
She decided to change her clothes first. The petticoat she was wearing was making her uncomfortable, and this cat…
She exchanged a glance with it.
If she remembered correctly, it had just bitten the grey sparrow that Natasia was raising earlier today?
That grey sparrow was no ordinary bird.
No, rather, originally it was ordinary. It was just an ordinary grey sparrow that was saved by the kind-hearted Cinderella on a cold winter night.
But the Light God made a mistake when incarnating.
He was careless when forming the incarnation, and he was also careless when giving it life, resulting in a mistake.
His memories turned into a glass bead, part of the divine power that should have belonged to Gaia arrived three days ahead of schedule, and attached itself to this grey sparrow…
Even if this divine power was less than a billionth of the vast divine power that belonged to the Light God himself, it was still enough for the mortal realm.
The grey sparrow gained divine power and became enlightened.
It felt grateful to Natasia for saving its life, and appreciated her kindness and pity, becoming her “Fairy Godmother”.
It used its divine power to create the most beautiful dress in the world, create the most luxurious golden carriage, and used its divine power to nourish her not-so-pretty face, making everyone infatuated with her.
The prince became her servant under her dress.
Compared to Cinderella, the original host was like a wrecking Ralph everywhere, and now she was facing a sieve full of holes: if she didn’t fill the holes with her life, she would be filled by them.
“Meow meow meow—”
The black cat didn’t know how much trouble it had caused and innocently blinked its eyes at her.
Yuzhou simply considered the possibility of snatching the “grey sparrow” away. Her high-heeled shoes made crisp noises as they landed on the rotating staircase.
Suddenly, she felt the fur of the black cat in her arms stand up on end. Its four cloven hooves stood firmly, and its throat emitted threatening roars towards the air.
A grey sparrow appeared out of nowhere and swooped down towards her from above at high speed. The gust of wind from its wings blew over the crystal chandelier in the living room, making a tinkling sound.
“Bang—”
The mural at the entrance of the staircase fell.
“Chirp chirp! Come back!”
Natasia, in a panic, poked her head out from the third floor.
Yuzhou quickly reached out and grabbed the handrail, avoiding being blown over by the gust of wind.
The black cat silently jumped out of her embrace and growled ahead.
“Belia!” Just then, a high-pitched voice almost piercing to the eardrums came, “Oh, my dear Belia, are you alright?”
“Maggie, Tiana, quickly catch this damn bird!”
A fiery figure rushed over and hugged Yuzhou.
She wasn’t dressed very decently, her red silk nightgown was even too rushed to fasten the belt, exposing a large area of snow-white skin, and she rushed over with bare feet, rushing into Yuzhou’s arms.
