(derailed fairy tale)

While running away from the ball, Cinderella accidentally leaves a piece of paper with her poem on the stairs, which she never dared to give to the prince in person. The prince could not catch up with her, but he found a poem and fell in love with a stranger from the first line; he was sure that this poem was for him.

A week passed, no one was able to carry out the prince’s order and find the fascinating and gorgeous girl. At that time, Cinderella hid in her once native house, did all the housework, suffered from sneers and scorn of her sisters and mother, but at night she hid in her little room and wrote incredible poems about love, hard life, dreams, and about love for the prince.

…One day, the stepmother found all of Cinderella’s poems and threw them into the fireplace. It was an incomparable blow. Cinderella died in her soul. She was very angry with her stepmother, so she left the house all in tears the same night, taking with her several sheets of paper and a pencil, having previously written a note on the paper to her sisters and stepmother.

…Cinderella wandered through the forest, slept on the grass under the trees and did not know where to go. Hardly anyone was waiting for her at home, and she was not going to return there. After a week of wandering, the girl covered all the paper with her poems. She wanted to see the prince, but she had no right to do it. Tired and hungry, Cinderella went where her feet led, and they led her to HAPPINESS. The prince was riding a horse straight towards Cinderella, he was on a sunset promenade.

Seeing the girl, the prince wanted to help her. Cinderella was so exhausted that she just fell into his arms. The prince took the girl to the castle, and only there, after she regained consciousness, did he recognize her. However, Cinderella denied that it was her and wanted to leave the castle as soon as possible. However, the prince saw her poems and solved her small secret, being ready for a ‘hand-and-heart’ conversation…

For many years, Cinderella and the prince have been living in the same castle and raising their daughter Amelia. Cinderella continues to write poems and even publishes her collections once a year or two, and every time the prince reads them, he falls in love with Cinderella more and more.
