Creating a Sandbox World Chapter 90: Cinderella


   "Is this... me?" In the dim, cold room, Mei Li stared at the figure in the mirror in amazement, only to feel that it was a beauty she had never seen in her life.

  Even Daisy can’t match half a point.

   She subconsciously stretched out her hand and stroked her face, and then noticed the gorgeous evening dress on her body and the shiny shoes on her feet. She was dazed and couldn't believe it.

   felt herself in a dream, pinched her thigh, feeling the real pain, she was taken aback for a few seconds, suddenly turned her head, and looked at the quietly burning candle on the table.

  's eyes are first panic, then infatuated.

   "Is this... a strange thing in a legend?" In this world of real extraordinary power, it is not uncommon for people at the bottom to accidentally obtain ancient strange things.

   It’s just that Meili used to think it was a fantasy in the story, but she never thought that she was so lucky.

   "By the way, the charity dinner at Earl Ende's Mansion..." In her heart, she suddenly remembered the information revealed to her by the mean maid in the morning, and then a bold idea emerged uncontrollably.

   There was a hesitation on her face, but when she got up, tried to imitate Daisy, holding the skirt, and turning awkwardly in front of the full-length mirror, that hesitation suddenly disappeared:

  "Perhaps, I can also go in... I heard that the charity party is semi-public, and there are many people attending it. If I am one more, I should not be discovered..."

   In front of the mirror, Mei Li whispered to herself, but it was more like finding a reason for herself.

   her thoughts settled, she immediately looked at the prayer candle and folded her hands again: "I make a wish, and there is a carriage waiting for me at the entrance of the street for me to ride."

   A faint circle of light opened. Immediately, Meili carefully blew out the candle and hid the candlestick and a box of matches on her body.

   opened the door, avoided the people in the shop like a thief, slipped out through the remote back door, and ran all the way to the corner.

   There, a brand-new four-wheeled carriage stopped here.

  A coachman was looking forward to seeing her coming, and respectfully opened the car door: "Miss Meili, please."

  Really!

   All this is true!

   Meili clenched her hands and bit her lip. Her beautiful face was filled with uncontrollable excitement. She barely calmed down after taking a few deep breaths.

   "...Okay." She glanced at the coachman, and she put up her skirt, imitating the pace of the noble lady she had seen, and gracefully boarded the carriage.

  's movements are a little stiff, but her behavior is also decent-she has practiced secretly before.

  "Where are you going, please?" asked the coachman.

   Sitting in the soft carriage, Meili folded her hands in silk gloves in front of her, calmly saying:

   "Go to the Mansion of Count Ender, I want to attend a banquet."

   "Yes."

  ……

   Soon, the carriage ran along the streets at night, not fast or slow, very smoothly.

   Soon at night, there were still many pedestrians, carriages and horses on the street. Meili opened the window of the car and looked at the streets passing by with excitement and novelty.

   Soon, the carriage left the city and drove to the North District, and the surrounding buildings became "rich" visible to the naked eye.

  When the carriage finally stopped outside the house of Earl Ender, and the coachman opened the door, Meili suddenly became nervous and uneasy.

   Especially looking at the densely packed vehicles parked outside, the garden villas covering a very wide area in the distance, and the gentlemen and ladies entering and exiting at the gates of the brightly lit buildings, there was an urge to escape.

   "You can..." Silently cheering for herself, Meili got out of the car with a little trembling.

  Earl’s Mansion is a tall and design-like building with a pure white exterior, like a palace, with a huge garden separated by iron railings.

  Rao is late autumn, and it is also full of flowers. The wide pavement in the courtyard is flanked by embossed flower beds, and the central fountain spit out misty mist.

   at the door, although it is illuminated by gas street lights, it still looks a bit dim. When Meili slowly walked towards the open hollow door with the flow of people, she was suddenly stopped by a servant:

  "Dear guest, please show your invitation."

   Invitation!

   Meili was taken aback, showing an annoyed expression.

   She forgot to make a wish invitation!

   "I... I forgot at home." She replied in a flustered manner.

   "Is that...Which lady are you from?" Although the servant was surprised at her beauty, he asked dutifully, especially when she found that Meili was only carrying a driver. Suspicious.

   "I...I am..." Mei Li didn't know how to answer for a while, but at this moment, suddenly, a gentle voice sounded:

  "Interrogating a beautiful lady is very rude."

   Meili turned her head, and saw a tall, handsome young man walking over with a smile.

   "Master..." The servant hurriedly saluted.

   Meili is suddenly the son of Earl Ender.

   "I apologize to you for his impoliteness, please come in with me." The young man was very gentle and authentic, and immediately raised his hand and led Meili into the door.

   "I... forgot the invitation, is it okay?" Meili asked nervously.

   Seeing the worry on her delicate face and the frightened deer-like eyes, the second son of the earl breathed tightly, only feeling a heartbeat, and said immediately:

   "Don't mind, please allow me to show you the way."

   talked, and even went ahead.

   Looking at the other person's generous back, Meili blinked, her hand holding her skirt tightened again, gritted her teeth, and followed.

   across the garden and past the fountain, the two entered the bright banquet hall.

   At this moment, there are already many figures in the hall. A noble or merchant’s well-dressed daughter is pacing in the melodious music, like blossoming delicate stamens.

   However, when Meili stepped into the hall and was exposed to everyone's vision, the entire banquet hall was eclipsed.

  ……

   For Mei Li, tonight is really an experience that she has never had in her life, even in her dreams.

   Her beauty suppressed everyone and became the focus of the entire dinner, including Miss Daisy, who was also left out in the corner of the banquet hall, and the tall and handsome second son of the earl who looked like a shepherd dog Even more, she tried all kinds of ways to pour her love.

  The young nobleman who fell into a frenzy instinctively ignored Meili’s doubts. Meili’s awkwardness fell in his eyes and became cute. When talking about her identity, he became "Girl's shyness"...

   Under the meticulous care of the other party, Mei Li also became cramped and nervous from the beginning, and slowly, her expression became more relaxed. The exquisite food on the long table also made her feast.

   In the end, I accepted the invitation of the Earl’s second son, and danced to the sound of the music...All of this attracted her, until late at night, when the dinner was over, she reluctantly set foot on it. The carriage for the return journey.

   and used the weaving lies to calm down the second son of the earl who was lost in thought.

  ……

   "Grumbling..."

   When the sound of a carriage crushing the road echoed again, the noise and bustle of the surroundings dispersed.

   Meili, with an intoxicating blush on her face, leaned in the soft carriage, skillfully imitating the noble lady, pressed her groggy forehead and fell asleep.

   "咚……咚……"

   I don’t know how long it took. When Mei Li was awakened by the bell of the church in the distance, she discovered that the carriage was parked in the alley near the laundry.

   Outside the car window, it was still dark night, but the bell told her clearly that the night was about to pass.

   Recalling the experience last night, she felt unclear emotions in her heart.

   Suddenly, the first ray of sunlight in the east tore through the darkness.

   At the same time, Mei Li's dress was transformed into worn-out clothes, and the crystal shoes on her feet were restored to their original shape, and even her plump figure was restored to dryness.

  "Who are you? Why are you in my car?" The driver's doubtful and angry voice rang in my ears. Then, when the car door opened, she was dragged out, "Damn, how did you sneak up? Yes? Get off and don’t dirty the carriage!"

  Mei Li, who stood silly at the entrance of the alley, widened her eyes and looked at the wagon that was leaving quickly, without regaining her senses.

   was stunned for a while, and she rummaged through her pocket to find out the half of the candle and a ring-this was a gift from the second son of the earl last night.

   Then, she remembered the content on the note:

   "At dawn, the wish is invalid."

   "Is that so... the magic can only last one night?" Mei Li woke up, she was disappointed at first, and then her eyes brightened again.

  If it’s a wish... it’s not a problem at all for only one night.

  She can make a wish to get a large sum of money, and then store it in the bank and become a certificate of deposit.

  En, for the sake of insurance, deposit a small amount every time, so that even if the coins disappear after dawn, the bank's certificate of deposit should still be there.

   It's like the ring in my hand is still there.

  Of course, this is just the easiest way. As long as you plan carefully, you can get rich quickly without serious violation of the law~IndoMTL.com~ Thanks to the gods. "Mei Li quickly put away the prayer candles, and then returned to the laundry with a complicated mood.

  ……

   There was a lot less work on Tuesday, but Meili became more absent-minded.

   I was scolded by Mrs. Silin while working, and she was bold enough to go back. The angry opponent stuck in the waist, and shouted "The reverse"... and claimed to deduct her for half a month. Salary.

   finally turned to leave under the persuasion of other female workers.

   Meili just sneered at this, and secretly planned her wish tonight, but at noon, an unexpected news made her feel uneasy.

   "It is said that the police went to the home of Earl Ender today and said that they were investigating something. Even the guests who attended the charity party last night visited one by one."

   "Is there anything like this? What happened?"

   "I don't know, I heard it is related to the so-called cults and black magic that have been investigated in the kingdom recently."

   During the lunch break, Mei Li's expression suddenly became tense after listening to the discussion of other female workers.

   cult... black magic?

  This reminded her of "candle of prayer" involuntarily, but she shook her head quickly:

   "No, it's impossible, I have used it, but I have not suffered any curse, and no black magician has come up... Well, the police must be just doing a routine, it must be so!"

   was carrying out self-suggestion, and soon after the day’s work was over, it was evening again.

   Meili, who finished her work, walked out of the laundry, and then took the money she saved and called a carriage for the first time:

   "Go to the Eastern District."

   she said.

   has a firm tone.

   She has decided on her wish for tonight.
