The Dead CINDERELLA's
EPS. 18. Sweet treatment.

Currently, Sierra was in a room after he had previously run after Arthur who walked so fast. Actually not fast, it's just that Arthur's footsteps are so wide considering Arthur's legs are so long.

" this.. Guest rooms are like hotels. It's so fancy." Said Sierra admiring the room Arthur showed him to sleep in tonight.

Eventually Sierra went into his bathroom and cleaned himself up.

Somewhere else..

Julia is still plagued by confusion as Carine exits the police station, but Hailey and Alden have not. What's more, Carine becomes so angry after seeing a cut of the video scene between Hailey and Alden despite being blurred.

" Carine, help your sister.. Persuade your father to release your brother. Even though you're not her real daughter, she loves you the most, Carine." Julia.

" No, how dare you take Alden away from me." Carine.

" They weren't aware of Carine, they could have been trapped." Julia.

" Nobody knows about our plan to get Sierra to be my replacement to pay that debt ma'am, who set him up." Carine.

" You really don't suspect Sierra's taking part in this.?? Sierra could've met Dante first and framed you." Julia.

" Sierra doesn't even know Dante before mom, but Dante has never met Sierra in person." Julia.

" But Sierra called someone and told him to come to the police station." Julia.

" It is not clear that the young master Arthur came. Anyway I'm not going to persuade dad to release brother and Alden." Carine said Julia died.

" Cart... " Say Julia.

" Why is this so.." Mumbled Julia.

Meanwhile, in the room.. Daniel was looking at the scene outside his room. The sky was bright even starry, but Daniel felt silent.

" Sophia.. Are you mad at me.?" Mumbled.

Daniel returned to his old room, where he was with his first wife, Sophia. At the end of this he often dreamed of the arrival of Sophia with a description of tears. And that's what bothered Daniel until he was sleep deprived and then fell ill.

" Am I selfish.." Mumbled again.

Daniel opened a small desk drawer that was right next to his bed. He pulled out a picture of himself as a young boy with a beautiful woman and a toddler who thought he was three years old.

" He killed you, and you gave birth to him." Said Daniel.

Like that, when he was a little aware of reality. He easily sank back into his own ridiculous assumptions. Though if it is digested by logic, which mother will let her daughter wretched. Or which mother would have the heart to see her daughter hurt.

Sophia only saved her beloved daughter from danger, only God took her life at the same time. And Daniel, Daniel presumes that Sierra caused Sophia to die. Daniel always thought it was Sierra who killed Sophia.

"Please don't always come in my dreams with your tears baby, I can't afford." Sickly Daniel.

It was a long time ago, but Daniel's hatred for his daughter grew as Sierra grew.

Back in Sierra's place, now Sierra is drying his hair, because Arthur says he's sour, he keeps thinking. Though before he was sweating a lot even his body never smelled a bit.

" Hm. hm.. I wanted you the best of

All this world could give.

And I told you when you left me

There's nothing to forgive.

But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was

Heartbreak and misery

It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way you're happy without me.."

It was sweet, and heart-wrenching, a piece of the tune that Sierra sang. The song, he often sang when he missed his mother.

GECK.. GECK.. GECK..

The sound of the door on the knock.

" Yes.. " South Sierra.

' Dead, I forgot I didn't have a change of clothes.' Inner Sierra.

" Sierras.." Shouted Arthur from outside.

" Yes, what's up.?" Sierra Say.

" Can you open the door.?" Ask Arthur.

" Uh.. Se..seperately." Shouted Sierra in panic.

' Oh, I was wearing that shirt earlier, but it was wet with water.' Inner Sierra.

Sierra looked for anything that could cover his body, finally he pulled the blanket, and he wrapped his body tightly.

" Sierer.a.. What's with you?" Said Arthur surprised to see the appearance of Sierra in the blanket wrap, already like a cocoon.

" I.that's, I don't have a change of clothes." Sierra said honestly.

Arthur also patted his forehead, how could he forget to tell Malvin to prepare clothes for Sierra.

"I forgot to tell Malvin, let me call him, for a second." Said Arthur.

" Uh.. Ja don't, don't tell Mr. Malvin to buy my shirt it's night." Sierra Say.

" then? You want this all night.?? Or the.. You're teasing me.?" Arthur Jahil.

" Your head.. " Sierra's legit pissed.

" so? I don't have any women's clothes here." Said Arthur.

Sierra stared at Arthur's body, more precisely the clothes used by Arthur.

" My clothes.?? " Said Arthur confused.

" Yes.." Sierra Sahut.

" Hm.. You wait here, I'm looking for the smallest." Said Arthur.

Sierra nodded, and Arthur actually returned with three models of clothes that he thought were small on his athletic body, and Sierra immediately took him into the room and tried it.

The first suit was Arthur's sleeping pajama stelan, but because of Sierra's small body the pajamas not only looked oversized, but also had low chest contiguity in Sierra's body, given Arthur's leavened V's neck slumber.

" this... Why am I like a paddy man." Sierra Gumam.

Sierra immediately shook his head and replaced it using Arthur's long-sleeved shirt. Actually it's really a small shirt for Arthur, but when Sierra wears it, it sinks.

" aih's.. This is how he said it was the smallest, am I that small? Or his body is like a giant." Sierra muttered again.

Sierra shook his head, and finally, the last option was just a plain black t-shirt with short sports pants, but still the pants were oversized in Sierra's body.

" Of course, this shirt. Her pants make me like a dwarf."

And be Sierra that way.. Cute. His small body was drowned in the black shirt, his milky white skin was completely in contrast to his shirt. Sierra went out to meet Arthur.

" Where is she.??" Sierra Gumam.

She could have gotten lost in a house that big, considering there were no servants there.

" Sierr..?" Said Arthur.

" Yeah.!!" Sierra surprised.

" You... " Arthur said hanging when he saw Sierra's appearance.

' Oh, my God, he's so cute.' Inner Arthur.

" I'm sorry, your clothes are all big. This is all that's comfortable to use." Sierra Say.

" Echem.. It's okay, come on." Arthur said to relieve his nervousness.

" Where.?" Ask Sierra.

But Arthur did not answer him, and instead continued to hold Sierra's small hand. Sierra was 20 years old, but his body was fairly small, only 160 cm high and only limited to the armpits of Arthur who had a height of 192 cm.

" Nah, sit down and drink the milk." Arthur said, pulling Sierra to sit next to him.

" Huh?? I'm a big man, why should I drink milk.?" Sierra Say.

Arthur chuckles to the Sierra.

" A child should drink milk? Milk is good for health, it also makes us sleep soundly." Said Arthur.

" Are you.?" Sierra Say.

" hm.. Drink, after that you rest." Said Arthur.

Sierra looked at Arthur with a little disbelief.

' He was waiting for me to finish just to tell me to drink milk?' Inner Sierra moved.

Sierra was moved because during his life in his previous life, he never got the slightest sweet treatment from anyone. Even when Alden gave her a sweet treat, it was only when the man wanted something from Sierra not really sincere.

Without feeling the tears Sierra pooled in the eye pelukan as he looked at the glass of milk that was currently in his hands. Slowly he drank it until it was gone.

" Thank you." Sierra Say.

Arthur saw Sierra crying, for some reason his heart hurt.

" Why are you crying? You don't have to drink that milk if you don't like it. " Say Arthur was worried.

" No, I like it.." Said Sierra while wiping away the roughness of his tears.

" Why are you crying.?" Said Arthur.

Sierra just shook his head, so moved he couldn't control himself not to cry. All this time he always tried to be tough, but today, just because of Arthur's treatment he lost control.

" sierras.. " Said Arthur.

" I'm okay, really.. I'm just moved, because there's finally someone nice to me." Sierra finally said.

Arthur immediately pulled Sierra into his arms.

" From now on, I am the one who will treat you well. Enough of you being yourself, no need to pretend to be strong, you understand.?" Said Arthur.

Sierra simply nodded and drowned himself in Arthur's arms. Right now, he just needs a warm hug that he never felt again after he was left behind by his mother.

Not feeling Sierra actually asleep in Arthur's arms, Arthur smiled to see how Sierra comfortably slept in his arms. Finally Arthur took Sierra and entered the room that Sierra occupied.

Slowly, Arthur put Sierra on the bed so that Sierra's sleep is not disturbed.

" Mother.. " Sierra Mumbles.

Arthur rubbed Sierra's cheek gently.

' Even in a dream you are still suffering. Sierra, I promise.. From now on, you will only be happy. I will wipe away all your sorrow, sorrow, and tears. Whoever makes you cry, they'll face me.' Inner Arthur monologue.

" Good night Sierra." Said Arthur.

Arthur covers Sierra, then he kisses Sierra's forehead and goes out of the room. Arthur contacted Malvin after he exited Sierra's room.

" Find out the cause of Sierra's maternal death. Also bring the full outfit for Sierra to my residence tomorrow morning." Arthur said, and the call was ended.

' I promise Sierra, I'll make you smile every day with me.' Inner Arthur.
