Charlotte entered the room with a crazed expression, finally muttering insane words, "I will definitely be a princess, I will definitely wear this Glass Slipper, I can do it, only I can become a princess, that bitch Katie can forget about it."

Charlotte, almost frantically, pulled out a small knife and a roll of gauze she had prepared beforehand. She lifted her right foot, compared it to Charlotte Glass Slipper, and then, with a maniacal smile, cut off her big toe. But she found that even after wrapping it in gauze and socks, it still hurt a little.

Just then, Katie's urging voice came from outside the door. "Charlotte, don't force yourself if you can't handle it. Come out quickly and give the shoes to your sister."

"That bitch! I'm her sister! How dare she rush me like that!" Charlotte cursed wildly upon hearing Katie's voice. She raised her foot again, picked up the knife, and cut off her little toe.

Seeing the blood everywhere, Charlotte noticed that after wrapping her feet in gauze and putting on socks, she finally managed to slip her feet into the Glass Slipper. She laughed somewhat neurotically, "I'm in! I'm a princess now! I'm a princess! That bitch Katie can't take me away!"

After tidying up a bit, Charlotte pushed open the door to the room, first stepping out with the foot adorned with the Glass Slipper. Her expression was one of unparalleled pride and madness as she appeared before everyone, stretching out her foot and placing it in front of the Prince.

"Your Highness, how is it? I've already put on the glass slippers, so I'm the princess now!" Charlotte looked at Prince William with adoration. She was about to become this man's wife; she was the princess, and all those other girls like Katie and Cindy could go to hell.

"How is this possible? Your big feet can't possibly fit into shoes that small." Katie looked at Charlotte in disbelief. She knew Charlotte's situation very well. The two of them often climbed into the bed of her uncle, who was actually her father. They knew each other's characteristics, so she knew that Charlotte's big feet couldn't fit into the Glass Slipper.

"What's impossible about that? I'm wearing it now, and I'm a princess. Katie, I'll forgive you this time because you're my sister. If there's a next time, I'll have Prince Highness punish you." Charlotte was unusually smug. It was just two toes; to become a princess in exchange for that, what was there to be reluctant about?

Just then, the Turtle Dove that had been perched by the window, their eyes glowing red, flew in and circled Charlotte incessantly. Whenever they saw an opening, they would pounce on her, their claws gripping Charlotte clothes or hair tightly, pecking fiercely at Charlotte.

"Get away, you damn birds! What are you all standing there for? Come save me!" Charlotte waved her hands wildly and screamed repeatedly. Coupled with her injured foot, she finally twisted her other foot and fell to the ground.

The Turtle Dove flew away after Charlotte fell, and the Baroness rushed in and asked, "Daughter, are you alright?"

"Wait, why is the inside of the Glass Slipper red?" Katie's gaze never left the Glass Slipper. After Charlotte fell, she immediately noticed the abnormality. The wound, which had only been simply bandaged, was bleeding heavily. When Charlotte fell, the wound was touched again, and the blood overflowed, staining the gauze and socks red.

Katie rushed forward like a madwoman and ripped Charlotte's Glass Slipper off her foot, revealing that Charlotte's socks were completely stained red, with blood seeping out.

"Hahaha, I knew there was no way your big feet could fit in! You cheated!" Katie exclaimed wildly, turning to Prince William who remained silent, and hurriedly said, "Prince Highness, look, she cheated! She cheated! Can I go put on my shoes now? I can definitely put them on! I'm the princess!"

Charlotte, realizing what was happening, ignored the pain in her foot and pounced on Katie, grabbing her dress and reaching for the Glass Slipper, shouting frantically, "Katie, you bitch, I've already put it on! I'm the princess! You slut, don't even think about taking what's mine!"

"Get out of my way!" Katie shoved Charlotte aside and went inside to change her shoes, while Charlotte frantically lunged at Prince William, shouting, "Prince Highness, I'm already inside! I'm the princess! I'm the princess, aren't I?"

"Guards, Charlotte has gone mad! Throw her outside and don't let her bother me." The Prince ordered the guards to take Charlotte away, then looked at the Baron, who was drenched in cold sweat, and the Baroness, who looked completely bewildered. "Your daughter is quite amusing, isn't she?"

Meanwhile, Katie, who had entered the room, ignored the blood on the floor and desperately tried to stuff her feet into her shoes, but no matter how hard she tried, her heels wouldn't fit. Katie didn't notice that several Turtle Dove were staring intently at her outside the window, and Katie's thoughts were becoming increasingly frantic.

"I want to be a princess! Even that fool Charlotte dared to do it, so why can't I? As long as the blood doesn't flow, no one will notice, I'll definitely succeed!" Katie saw the knife on the ground, hardened her heart, and cut off her heel. Looking around, Katie saw a window near the fireplace. Her eyes lit up, she opened the window, grabbed a handful of soot, gritted her teeth, and sprinkled it on the wound. After wrapping it with gauze and socks, sure enough, the bleeding stopped.

She quickly endured the pain and went out, stretching her feet out in front of the Prince, her eyes full of anticipation as she said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, look, I've put it on already. I'm the princess now, aren't I!"

The Prince looked at Katie with a strange smile. Suddenly, he heard a chirping sound and saw a flock of Turtle Dove fly back, swarming over Katie and pecking at her. Suddenly, Katie cried out in pain as a Turtle Dove pecked out one of her bloody eyes and dropped it in front of Katie.

"My eyes, my eyes!" Katie immediately fell to the ground, frantically groping for the eye, then trying to press it back in, but suddenly remembered that as she lay down, her heels were sticking out.

Blackish-gray blood seeped out from it. Katie threw the eyeball aside and lunged at the Prince, but was stopped by Prince guards. She cried out frantically, "Your Highness, please let me explain! I really can fit into this Glass Slipper! Please, let me be your queen!"

"Take them away." The Prince waved his hand impatiently, then said to the Baron, "Your two daughters are quite... interesting. In that case, we'll take our leave. Baron and his wife should also think about how to educate their children; what you did today was truly absurd."

"Let's go! To the next one!" The Prince called to his guards to retreat, but suddenly heard the sound of a door being pushed open, along with the words "Wait a minute."

Turning around, he saw Cinderella walk in, dressed in ordinary clothes, her hair neatly combed, her fair skin complemented by a sweet smile. She said softly, "Wait a moment, Prince Highness, may I try it?"
