I Became Cinderella’s Vicious Stepsister - Chapter 13

Liu Yu regretfully threw the breadstick back to the plate and walked around to the top of the stairs. If her memory was correct, then the Fergus Family’s kitchen should be behind this place. Natasi often worked in the kitchen while wearing an apron.

Before she even reached the door, she heard two people complaining about her in whispers.

“Curse it! Miss Bellia has yet returned home after fooling around all day outside.”

“Maggie, it’s quite normal for nobles to stay out all night long dancing and attending banquets.”

“Miss Natasi would never act like her! I pity Miss Natasi. Ever since Lord Leonard had passed away, she became an orphan that no one cared for…”

“Shh, from what I’ve heard…Lord Leonard was killed by his wife and lover in order to inherit his inheritance.”

“…Oh my, I pity Lord Leonard. This incident caused Miss Natasi to fall into such an unfortunate situation…”

“Meow——”

A sharp meow suddenly echoed in the kitchen in the middle of the night.

The gossiping servants were startled by the sudden sound and quickly turned their heads. When they noticed a black shadow lurking outside the kitchen, she screamed.

“Who is it?! Who is there?!”

When the servants saw Bellia’s beautiful golden locks that were more brilliant than gold, they sighed in relief that it was not a ghost. However, their faces soon turned pale with fright as if they had just seen a ghost.

“M-miss Bellia?! W-why are you here?”

Liu Yu bent down and picked up the black cat that was meowing at her feet. Her cherry-colored lips curved into a charming smile.

“Are you saying that my brother had killed Uncle Leonard? Oh my, then I should probably call the envoys of the temple to investigate the matter. After all, it seems like my mother is one of the chosen ones and apparently, she had the magical skills to control the wind and waves of the sea.”

Cinderella’s father died at sea while he was conducting business. The weather suddenly took a turn for the worse and destroyed his shop and he drowned.

The book had briefly mentioned about Lord Leonardo’s death in an unclear and ambiguous way, so Liu Yu was not certain whether he died of an accident or murder. There were indeed rumors spreading around saying that Natasi’s stepmother worked with her husband’s lover to kill her husband for the inheritance.

However, since she had possessed Bellia’s body, she will naturally deny the rumors unless it was proven to be true.

Liu Yu’s gaze fell on the figure hiding on top of the stairs. The thin figure was well hidden in the dark, but Liu Yu still noticed her.

The servants looked embarrassed since they were caught gossiping about their masters.

“Y-yes, what Miss Bellia said is correct.”

“Prepare some pancakes and bake some bread for me. I’m hungry.”

Liu Yu raised her chin proudly and said, “I don’t want to hear such rumors coming from the two of you again in the future. Otherwise, I, Bellia Fergus, will send you to the Sauron Prison myself.”

“Yes, we understand…”

The servants fell silent.

Miss Bellia didn’t throw anything at them, nor did she lose her temper and throw a tantrum, but she was infinitely more terrifying than usual. This was especially true when she smiled gracefully at them and told them that she will “deduct half a month’s pay” from the wages. They couldn’t help but tremble under her gaze.

Liu Yu carried the black cat to the living room.

The figure hiding behind the stairs disappeared.

She decided to change her clothes first. The petticoat was a little too tight, so it was uncomfortable for her to move around. And this cat…

Liu Yu looked at the cat.

If she remembered correctly, the cat had just bitten the dove that Natasi was carefully raising this morning.

The dove was unordinary.

Or rather, it was supposed to be an ordinary Eurasian collared dove when it was saved by the kind-hearted Cinderella on a frigid winter night.

When the God of Light was trying to reincarnate, something went wrong.

He was careless when he was making his next body, so the God of Light made a mistake in the middle of making his next body.
