Charlotte opened her golden eyes, her thick eyelashes fluttered like butterfly she looked in the mirror, a unknown girl was staring back at her, same golden eyes, same black long hair and the same black dress from last night. It was her own reflection but it seems unknown and foreign to her.
She was not the same Charlotte who was weak and helpless, she has grown, grown as a strong and independent woman.
She. Was. The. Queen.
She stood up from her bed and moved closer to the big clean mirror, " Thank you universe for giving me a chance to change my self " She looked at her reflection and continued, " Thank you Cinderella. "
" Beth, I want to wear black. Change my wardrobe and bring all black clothes, I will be known as the black queen of this kingdom! " She moved back to her dressing table and sat down, behind her Elizabeth shivered from the intensity of her coldness, she looked different from last night, she looked evil and... Queen. " Beth? " Charlotte called again after not getting any reply in return.
" Yes my lady, I will bring black clothes for you. "
" Ladies and gentlemen, rise. Queen Cinderella is coming " General George's voice echoed in the throne room.
Charlotte entered the room gracefully she looked confident and strong, the awkwardness from yesterday was all gone. Everyone was shocked to see this transformation of her.
" Sit " She ordered and took her sit on her throne, Elizabeth stood beside her. " We will pause this competition for some time and focus on our kingdom " Charlotte spoke in her cold and confident voice, " Kingdom wellbeing is more important than finding myself a king " She stated and all of them nodded their head in agreement. She was right their kingdom situation was not that great and i needed some attention to get fixed.
" General George, tell me about our kingdom situation " General George stood up from this chair and handed her a paper scroll. " This is the report your majesty. " He handed her the scroll and stepped back.
Charlotte opened the scroll and read the information carefully, she frowned and continued to read further.
There has been five kidnapping and eight murder and the culprit was still not found. Farmers were struggling too due to lack of rain. Her kingdom was not okay. She folded the paper and passed it back to General George. " The report is not at all good, and why is the culprit still not found? Are you even looking for them?" She narrowed her eyes and scanned every face, " Tell me! " She shouted and everyone flinched back from her sudden out brust.
She looked angry with her eyes all red.
" My.. Lady we are looking for them... We will find them.. " General George shuddered from the fear. " I don't care how you do this, but i want you to find the culprit " She raised her four fingers, " In four days "
She stood up and ordered, " Dismissed. "

" How is she " Carl spoke with his eyes closed, he was bare chest and beside him slept a woman, " Naked women. " Sebastian eyed the sleeping beauty and continued, " She has stopped her haunt, she is not looking for a king " Carl nodded and opened his eyes. " Dark green eyes stared at Sebastian, " Take her away " He ordered and the lady was pulled out of his bed my two guards. Carl stood up and wore his robe, he pushed his black hair back and looked at the dragger placed on his table, he picked that up and ran his finger around it's sharp blade, " She came here to kill me last night, but look she ended up sleeping with me " He smirked which added a devilish charm to his extremely handsome face.
Sebastian didn't need a explanation to understand who was this " She " He areas understood who he was referring to.
" Tin, you know " Carl spoke, " Women's are the most beautiful and destructive creature God ever made, they have a power to kill you and save you at the same time " He closed his eyes and leaned back towards the wall. " I think I am in love Tin. "
" Don't let her effect you so much Carl, she can not be trusted. She is a woman after all "
