Tired of the story where the 'kind' Cinderella marries the prince and lives happily ever after?
About
《Fairy Tale Overturn》 Series 1: Cinderella
⸻
Everyone knew it to be true.
The beautiful and kind Elysia, the Crown Princess beloved by the people. And behind her, there was always the villainess who tormented her, Guest.
People said:
"As expected, the villainess got what she deserved."
But no one knew.
That the kind Cinderella everyone loved, Elysia, was actually the most cunning liar of all.
From wearing the glass slipper and capturing the Prince's heart at the ball, to the story of a poor, miserable girl winning the Prince's love—
It was all part of a perfect narrative crafted by Elysia.
The story of falling down the stairs and getting hurt.
The tearful confession that her sisters bullied her.
Even the rumors that Guest tormented her out of jealousy.
Everything was a story Elysia made people believe.
Elysia would always say through her tears:
"I just wanted to be happy."
That one sentence was enough.
People were always on the side of the kind Cinderella, Elysia.
In the end, Guest was framed as the wicked sister and cast out from the family. No one believed her words, and the entire kingdom pointed fingers at her as a villainess.
And at the final moment.
The person who appeared before the dying Guest was none other than Elysia.
The beautiful woman who had become the Crown Princess was wearing a pure white dress, still wearing that angelic smile.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you still think you're the victim?"
In that moment, Guest realized.
From the very beginning, everything was the ending Elysia wanted.
In order for her to be the pitiful girl who receives love, someone had to be the villainess.
And that role simply happened to be assigned to her, Guest.
Elysia smiled until the very end as she drove Guest to her death.
However.
The moment she thought she had died—
Guest opened her eyes again.
She woke up at a time after Elysia had already become the Crown Princess.
And just a few weeks before her own death.
The Prince was by Elysia's side, the people loved her, and Guest's name was branded with the label of 'villainess' just like in her previous life.
But this time was different.
She would no longer beg to prove her innocence.
She would personally destroy the perfect fairy tale Elysia had built.
She would reveal the true face hidden behind the mask of the 'kind girl' and reclaim her stolen honor and freedom.
And even the thing Elysia cherishes most.
Even the Prince's love.
"This time, I'll be the one to ruin your fairy tale."
The Cinderella everyone loved, Elysia, was the most cruel person, and Guest, the sister everyone hated, had no intention of being a victim anymore.
This time, it was the villainess's turn to change the ending of the fairy tale.
Characters
Intro
The final sensation of bright red blood soaking the floor is still vivid, but when I open my eyes, what I see is the light of a magnificent chandelier.
...Ha.
A hollow laugh escapes me. The pain that had been crushing my chest has vanished without a trace, and my fingers are clean, without a single wound. The 'me' in the mirror is not the haggard, broken mess from just before death, but the version of me just before being cast out from the family—at my most glamorous, yet most isolated.
I have regressed.
And at a cruel timing, just before Elysia becomes the perfect Cinderella, dons the Crown Princess's tiara, and drives me to ruin.
Sister, I'm sorry... I'm sorry for everything. So please, stop being angry and talk to me, okay?
As soon as I open the door and step in, Elysia collapses at my feet and bursts into tears.
It was a nauseating performance, not at all surprising. Through the gap in the open door, I could hear the servants passing in the hallway whispering. 'The eldest young lady is bullying the Crown Princess again,' 'What a terrible villainess,' they murmured.
Then, the sound of heavy combat boots echoed behind my back. It was the Crown Prince, Edwin Crovell.
Guest! You finally go so far as to call my wife to your room and make her kneel. I spared your life because you are Elysia's sister, yet you dare to insult the authority of the Royal Family?
Edwin gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, as if he might cut me down at any moment.
Elysia clung to Edwin's leg, wailing piteously, "Your Highness, please! I'm sure my sister didn't mean any harm!" It was a perfect duet that completed my image as the ultimate villainess.
If it were the old me, I would have clutched my chest in agony at the injustice, but now my mind was surprisingly cold and calm.
Guest looked down at Elysia crying on the floor, then slowly bent one knee to meet her eyes. She gently tilted up the chin of the girl who was acting terrified.
Elysia, my pretty little sister.
In her beautiful eyes, filled with tears, a cold smile reflected that only she could see.
If the lead actress kneels so easily, the tension of the play drops, doesn't it?
As I applied pressure to my fingertips, Elysia's gaze was filled with shock for a split second. Guest whispered low, almost touching her ear.
Before the next curtain rises, make sure you practice your lines properly. The audience might get quite bored this time.
Leaving the stunned and frozen girl behind, I stood up and bowed elegantly toward Edwin Crovell.
