Cinderella Crazy
Just brush everything?

After soaking for about 40 minutes, Ashley got up and sat on the edge to reattach her fake legs.

After a long time it was painful, especially when he slammed his foot next to the head of the Chief Maid. But there was no sign of the pain he showed on his face. The woman always rotates the position of her wood to rest the previously depressed muscles.

He then stood up and dried his body while looking in the mirror. He looked at Ashelia's face reflected there, brought her face to the mirror and watched her closely.

This was the first time he had seen Ashelia's face. He moved his head to the right and to the left, checking every corner of the face he was currently using.

Ashelia has a beautiful face. A face that can easily attract the attention of others. A face that looks so elegant and classy.

Ashley pulled her head away and stood up straight with a smile. That made Ashley a little bit satisfied. Why little? Because to Ashley, her face was the prettiest in the world.

He did not care whether it was right or wrong, just by thinking so Ashley already felt like a Goddess of Beauty who likes to destroy. Beauty but a beast is not beauty and the beast.

Ashelia actually had a gentle and friendly face. However, since his body now contained the soul of a mafia leader, the impression looked completely different.

Highlight her cold and sharp eyes, as well as the expression of the evil smile full of arrogance that Ashley used to show erased the friendly and gentle impression on her face. But it just seems more interesting.

Charisma. So some people say. Charisma arises from a person's self-confidence and satisfaction with himself and his own abilities.

While trying various expressions and checking her nostrils and teeth, Bellena knocks on the door, asking if she has finished soaking. Ashley came out because there was nothing she wanted to do there anymore.

When she came out, Bellena had prepared the clothes she was going to wear. Hanging a dark blue dress in the middle of the dressing room. Ashley stared at the dress for a long time. Not because he was stunned, he was holding back from tearing it up.

Ashley then glanced at Bellena without saying anything or moving in the slightest. As if understanding Ashley's intentions, Bellena immediately opened the wardrobe beside her and looked for a replacement for the dress.

"What about this one?"

Now she takes the color dark green, and of course what she shows today is still a dress.

Ashley looked towards the closet behind Bellena that contained a full dress. He then walked into the wardrobe next to it and opened it. The closet also contains dresses. Open the next closet, and the next, and the next, and the next. Just like before, all of those closets were full of dresses.

For a long time they chose clothes. Not because it is confused to see beautiful dresses, but because everything is a dress. From the formal dress to the one worn to sleep, everything was there. Ashley who disliked feminine clothes felt a very strong turmoil of rejection in her. How could he wear those clothes?

She had felt strange enough all day wearing a brightly colored dress. But now, when he thought he could change his clothes, he had to wear another dress.

"Hey." Call Ashley down while closing her eyes with one hand.

"Why is it all dress?"

Bellena, confused by Ashley's question, was unable to give a quick answer. She never met a woman wearing anything other than a dress, so she wouldn't get stuck in her head if Ashley wanted a trouser suit that only men wear.

Bellena thought hard about the question Ashley was asking. There was no way he would answer "Because it's a wardrobe." or "Because people have to get dressed." He did not want to be sent to the afterlife just because he answered wrongly.

"...me ..do not understand what Miss means." The answer is to give up looking for the right answer.

"Replace everything." Obviously Ashley was brief.

"Ah, but right now the boutique is closed. We can replace it tomorrow."

The sun had already started to set, only certain shops and places were operating until nightfall. The clothing stores only operate until late afternoon there. This leaves Ashley with no other way but to be forced to wear a dress until tomorrow.

Before changing into clothes Ashley asked Bellena to find him a more decent rope to change the straps of her legs. He then returned with a string of flat cloth and also ointment along with bandages.

After removing her impromptu prosthetic leg, Bellena applied an ointment to Ashley's bruised leg on almost the entire bottom of her knee. Ashley watched her apply the ointment carefully, as if she did not want to make it hurt.

Of course because Ashley would hit him if that happened.

After that, Bellena then wrapped Ashley's legs with an elastic bandage to the thigh. Not too tight but not too loose, he really knows what he's doing. Although Ashelia's family has a personal doctor, basic or first aid is a mandatory provision for a personal servant. This is to anticipate if at any time something unexpected happens when they are away from medical people.

To be honest, Ashley was quite surprised by the existence of elastic bandages in the era of the kingdom. Although a little different, still the medical development is quite good.

"You better rest your feet first, Miss." Her remarks advised Ashley not to reassemble the logs if it was not urgent.

Ashley just silently did not answer, but she obeyed Bellena's words. Actually Ashley's feet already felt better after soaking in the cold water, but there's no harm in following the girl's advice.

With Bellena's help, Ashley then replaced her bath coat with a casual deep blue dress that had previously been prepared by her personal servant.

"Is there coffee here?" Ask Ashley.

Bellena was surprised when Ashley mentioned the name of the drink made from the banned seeds. Given Ashley's true identity, in Bellena's eyes, was an evil goddess, she became little understood.

Bellena explained that the circulation of coffee is now banned in the kingdom of Durman since a few years ago. Previously, the coffee trend immediately soared shortly after entering the market. People really like the drink that is processed from the coffee beans.

Later, however, local beliefs regarded coffee as a devil's seed. Because of some of the effects caused by coffee fruit such as not being able to sleep, heart palpitations, stomach pain, and even some are addicted, the temple claims it is so. They also assume that the trend of coffee is so great that it also occurs due to magic brought from the devil.

Ashley was completely rendered speechless by Bellena's explanation. Once again, he must adjust to what he cannot get in his new world.

...****************...

Bellena came back with a set of supplies to make tea. He then served the hot tea he had just made to Ashley. While enjoying her tea, Ashley asked for the whereabouts of the Count and Countess who were nowhere to be seen even as she made a troublemaker.

Bellena explained that they were going out enjoying the day off. Ashelia's father was always busy all day, therefore he wanted to enjoy a very difficult holiday he had.

Ashley thought, because the marriage is still 2 years old, maybe Ashelia's father wants to enjoy the holidays only together with his new wife occasionally.

At that time, Ashelia used the rare opportunity to come out unnoticed by her stepmother.

Bellena also tells Ashley to be careful with her stepmother because the person Ashelia hates is likely her stepmother.

Ashley assumes that it may be because Ashelia is unwilling to accept the presence of her new mother. But if it is true that her stepmother is the target of Ashley, then she must kill the woman just because her existence is not accepted by her stepson.

Of course Ashley doesn't feel sorry because it's none of her business. He just needs to finish his contract in order to return to his world.

But that is also unclear. Could the real target be Bellena, because she feels used? Or her father who she thought didn't care about her? Or someone else working in this house? Or maybe someone else that even Bellena didn't know about?

It is unclear who, but it is very clear what Ashelia wants and what the target number is. One, only one person and Ashelia wants that person to actually die.

"...shit." man."

"Directly brush everything?" Ashley's murmurs gave Bellena goosebumps knowing she was also on Ashley's blacklist.

Putting that aside for a moment, there were things Ashley had to deal with first before seeking further information on her target.

His leftfoot.

For now, he can hold it. But if continued, this can actually hamper its performance. If Ashelia's target was a dangerous person, Ashley's position would be greatly harmed.

Ashley then inquired about the production of prosthetic legs by the medical authorities in her new world. The term false foot was heard by Bellena, but she had never seen anyone wearing it. Ashley was the first person with a prosthetic leg that she saw.

People usually prefer wheelchairs because they feel safer and less tiring, which is why Bellena does not know exactly where she can get a prosthetic leg.

Given that Ashley's prosthetic leg was as simple as a cane, Bellena felt that maybe a wandmaker could make it.

Knowing the wandmaker can make the stick according to the order he requested, Ashley got an idea. He then gave a picture of the fake leg he wanted to order and also the new stick he was going to wear. Bellena's next task is to deliver her non-order to the Stick Maker.

He was determined to do his job because the store was open until night. Before leaving, he also said that the Count and Countess would return today. They will probably arrive before dinner.

Bellena said it didn't matter if Ashley wanted to stay in her room. Ashelia was used to not giving greetings to them when they came back or also eating with them.

After thinking about it for a moment, Ashley decided to greet her new family. Maybe it will be interesting, he thought.

Ashley reassembled her fake legs, walking out towards the 2nd floor. When he met one of the servants, he immediately called out to him, saying that they would welcome the return of the Count and Countess and asked everyone to gather in the entrance hall when Ashelia's parents came.

As someone who had always been the supreme leader, who had never submitted to his father, Ashley wanted to show the couple that this place was now his territory.

However,

Black hair, black eyes, with mature brown skin, tall stature, and ample muscle mass, the figure that stood stunned in front of him, was a person he was very familiar with.

'Papa!?'
