Chapter 23: Deceit (Part 2)

"Try on the shoes first to see if they fit you?"

Paine handed the jewelry to Cinderella and motioned for Cinderella to try on the crystal dancing shoes.

"Um."

Cinderella stood up and took the jewelry from Paine's hand, placed it on the chair, and then began to try on the crystal dancing shoes.

"Wow, it's so beautiful! The size is just right!"

Cinderella couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Well, indeed, it suits you very well."

Paine nodded with satisfaction after seeing the crystal slippers on Cinderella's feet.

"Thank you for the gift."

Cinderella thanked Paine.

"You're welcome, as long as you like it!"

Paine smiled and waved his hand.

"We have taken care of the jewelry and dancing shoes, and the most important thing is that you need a dress that can withstand the occasion. I have already arranged everything. Come with me, and I will take you to the tailor to take measurements."

"Ah, it's so late, is there any tailor shop open?"

"I told you, I've made all the arrangements. The tailor will be waiting for us all night."

"Then let's go now!"

Cinderella said expectantly.

————————————————————

While Paine was taking Cinderella to the tailor's shop to take measurements, the clothing store owned by the twin brothers across the door was also receiving a distinguished customer.

"I heard Onest said that the magical cloth you produce is really beautiful, so I really can't wait to come and see it. You won't think that I come so late to disturb your rest."

A fat man with a fat head and a swollen belly, dressed in fancy clothes, said to the twin brothers with grimaces on their faces.

"But looking at you like this, why do you feel like you are packing your luggage for a long trip?"

The fat man pointed to the large and small bags piled on the floor and said.

"Uh... that's it! We are just doing some sorting. After all, the store plans to expand its operations and needs to make some space to stack goods. These things are all packed and ready to be thrown away!"

The younger brother was indeed more resourceful, and he quickly figured out a reason to deal with it. Just now he was indeed packing up his belongings with his brother and preparing to run away. He originally wanted to make a fortune before leaving, but his brother convinced him: if he offended the nobleman too harshly, he would be hunted even if he escaped from the kingdom. ! So the two of them packed their luggage together and worked hard for a long time.

But the two of them never expected that in the middle of the night, the noble man could not restrain his curiosity and actually ran over by himself! And he didn't bring any attendants, so he knocked on the door and wanted to come in.

The two brothers looked through the door and saw that there was only one person there. They couldn't see clearly in the dark, so they thought it was an ordinary guest, so they let the person in. However, the person was numb at first sight!

"So that's it. I want to see that magical cloth. Where is it?"

"It? It's right there!"

The younger brother pointed to the empty loom, secretly glad that he hadn't packed it away.

"Um?"

The visitor was immediately confused because he saw nothing!

"how did this happen?"

He thought to himself, "I didn't see anything! This is appalling. Am I a stupid person? Am I not qualified? Even that old fool Oneste can see it, how could I not see it?" ?This is the scariest thing.”

"Oh, it's so beautiful!" he said against his will, "I'm very satisfied!"

He nodded and looked carefully at the loom, unwilling to say that he saw nothing.
