"Huh?!HUUUUUHHHHHH?!" Erella was confused about what was happening. All of a sudden she was in the middle of the forest holding her long broom. She was pretty sure she was in their home cleaning their backyard.
'Maybe this is just a dream.' She thought then took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She counted to three before she opened her eyes again. After that, she looked around. She was still surrounded by tall trees.
"What the heck happened? Why I am here in this isolated place?" She mumbled with her eyes wide and mouth wide open. She was magically transported in the middle of the forest from her house. She unconsciously crouched down and think.
'I'm sure in the story Cinderella, no magic was mentioned. But........ WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?! Is it some kind of a machine that can transport me right away somewhere?' She thought but after a few seconds, she shook her head.
'Nah uh, that would be impossible. There's no way a machine can do that.' She thought then her eyes went to see the broom that she was holding. She tilted her head cutely,
"Am I a witch and I unconsciously used this broom to fly me here?" She mumbled but then she shook her head again.
"Nah uh, this is not a magical broom. This is just an ordinary broom. For sure someone used MAGIC!" She said with a certain answer.
"But I didn't see any magic circle before I was magically transported here." She mumbled again while her eyebrows knitted together. She knew about the magic circles because she saw them in every anime before. When someone wants to travel somewhere, they are preparing a magic circle to serve that as a portal to the place they wanted to go. If not magic circle, the other way is just thinking about the place they wanted to go and they will be there as long as they have the right amount of mana to do the magical transportation. Suddenly she remembered something. Before she was transported in the middle of the forest, she thought of going somewhere quiet that her stepsisters couldn't reach her. Then she felt a gust of wind surrounding her and after that, she was already in the middle of the forest.
"Yeah this place is really quiet and my stepsisters can't reach me but..... DARN IT! THIS IS NOT THE QUIET PLACE I WAS THINKING ABOUT!"She shouted frustratingly while biting the hem of her dress. She wanted to throw more tantrums but then she realized something.
"Did I transport myself here?! I have magic?!WOAH, AMAZING! Is this another Cinderella in another world?" She was astonished. Her heart and mind were excited to think she had magic.
"So I can go home, no problemo!" She said happily then excitedly closed her eyes. She tried to do what she did back at home. She focused her mind on the place of her home then waited for her magic to perform. But a minute passed, nothing happened. She still trying to do what she did earlier. But five minutes passed, still nothing happened.
"My gosh! Did I use all of my power just to transport here? Or it is just my imagination that I have power?" She said worriedly. Erella still wanted to ponder if she has power or not but she stopped. She heard something rustling behind her. Her hair on her neck suddenly stood up. All of a sudden, she ran as quickly as lightning. She didn't give a chance for that creature to show up. She just stopped running when she felt tired and looked behind her. No one was behind her so she sighed a relief. Then she sat on the sand to rest. Suddenly, her grumbling stomach echoed in the forest. She was hungry at the same time thirsty. She remembered she didn't eat her lunch earlier. She sighed.
"Where can I find food in this place?" She asked herself frustratingly. The smell of baked cake traveled into her nose. She quickly stood up and excitedly followed the smell. She looked like a zombie following the delicious smell of a delicious meal. Erella stopped when she saw tall bushes. Slowly she walked into them and cleared them to peek at the other side. Her eyes and mouth went wide. Saliva went out from her mouth. In front of her was a house of cake.
"Is this Hansel and Gretel's story?" She said in a low voice. Hansel and Gretel's story was the story of the two children who got lost in the woods and found the witch's cake house. They ate it and were invited by the witch in her house. But they didn't know that the witch purposely did the cake house to bait the hungry children like them and later on eat them.
"JEEZ LOUISE! How unlucky I am. First, I was transported to the middle of the forest. Then I'm not sure if I really have power or it's just my imagination. And now I'm very hungry and thirsty. What luck is this?!" She said slumping on the ground. Erella decided to walk away from that place but she stopped walking when her stomach grumbled again.
"ARGGHHHHH! I don't care anymore! It's better to die with a full stomach than an empty stomach!"She exclaimed then ran towards the cake house. She hungrily wolfed down the wall of cake and took a sip from the soda fountain. When she was already full, she happily lied down on the soft grass. Then all of a sudden, dark shadows covered her small face.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" She screamed.
"What happened? Why this girl didn't get knocked out by the potion we put in the cake?" A burly man said looking at Erella. The potion they put in the cake was so strong that it can knock out a big elephant. So the five burly men who were looking at the little child in front of them could not believe that she was still awake. They thought about what was the reason why the kid was still awake, but they couldn't find any answer so they gave up thinking. Erella on the other hand rose to her feet as fast as she could.'OH, SUGAR HONEY ICED TEA! So this is not the story of Hansel and Gretel.'She thought. Then looked at the burly men. On the instant, she realized the burly men were bandits.'I think the witch would be better than being kidnapped by these bandits.' Fear slowly engulfing Erella's heart. But she became more frightened when she heard
Erella groaned in her sleep. She was having a nightmare. In her dream, she was chased by an old pervert. She was about to be caught then suddenly she woke up from her sleep. She gasped. Sweat on her forehead was dripping down her face. She was still catching her breath when she felt her body was aching. Her eyes went wide and she felt nervous. She looked around. She was all alone in the closed room.'Don't tell me, someone sold me to an old pervert?' She murmured. Then an unthinkable scene came to her mind. She felt horrified and disgusted."NO! NO! NO! It can't be!" She exclaimed. The whole manor suddenly trembled. The air was gushing out from her and her magical powers went out of control.KABOOOOOOOM! An explosion happened because of Erella's magical power that went out of control. Half of the manor was destroyed. She slumped against the floor still feeling humiliated. Then a young man with
"What are you talking about Aunt Camille?" Maxwell asked the Marchioness. "That would be impossible for this little girl to have that magical powers Milady." A well-built servant spoke. "Don't judge the book by its cover." Marchioness Camille quoted. Maxwell wanted to refute his Aunt but he remembered his Aunt to have an ability of clairvoyance. She can perceive some of the past of the person she touches. He looked at Erella astonishingly, who was looking on the ground nervously. Then he recalled when they did their mission to find the bandits who were kidnapping kids to sell as slaves in the forest, he found the little girl lying on the ground with a trace of powerful mana. He thought she was just glazed by the mana of the person who helped the kids so he ignored it. Then now, his aunt was telling him that the skinny little girl was the one who destroyed half of his manor? He couldn't believe that the skinny littl
"KYAAAAAA!!!!!" Erella shouted in surprise and some of her mana went out of control causing a light destructive wave that threw the person who blindfolded her. She turned around to look who she sent flying away. She saw the young Duke groaning in pain while holding his behind. 'OH EM GEE! I'm dead!' She nervously bit her lips. She looked around to see if there were people around. When she saw no one, she sighed a great relief. Only the two of them in the garden. Staying in Von Heinlein's estate for a day, she uncovered how well love the young duke by all the people in the estate. Especially the Marchioness his aunt. When a messenger from the academy delivered a message to the young duke yesterday, he accidentally fell on the young duke and it caused his arm to have a small scratch. At that moment, the atmosphere of the room turned dark. Then she saw the bloody stare of all the servants and the Marchioness gave the messenger. It was like they wan
"Let her try that baby pink dress with lacy ribbons." Marchioness Camille said to the shopkeeper. Erella showed an unamused face to the Marchioness. It's already the tenth dress that she tried on and she was already exhausted. It seemed all her energy that she had earlier was dropped down to zero. The staff around her suddenly felt a cold chill ran down their spine when they saw the Marchioness staring at Erella coldly. They knew the Marchioness very well. She just looked like an angel but when she's angry, she could kill a person mercilessly. So whoever talked to her was always careful."Holy cow! What's wrong with you kid? Are you seeking death?""Mama mia! Is this my last day?""Beg on your knees kid!" The staff whispered to her in fright. She rolled her eyes to them.'I understand you guys. I felt that too before but that's just her normal stare when she wants something.' Erella tho
"Aunt Camille, can you put me down now? I am not a kid." Erella told the Marchioness. They were already out of the boutique but Marchioness Camille was still holding her in her arms. She felt ashamed because her mind is already twenty-six years old. She couldn't take it if they will still treat her like a kid."Aunt Camille------- Maxwell called his Aunt. Erella thought he will also agree with her but she raised her eyebrows when Maxwell spoke again."Give her to me, It's not good for you to hold her for too long," Maxwell said while blushing with his straight face. He also wanted to hold Erella but the Marchioness didn't listen to him."You talk gibberish, my dear nephew. I can still hold her even a day." The Marchioness said confidently. Maxwell wanted to refute his Aunt but Marchioness Camille let out a dangerous aura. So he who was scared of his aunt's anger stopped competing to hold
"Max, you need to take care of Erella."Marchioness Camille reminded her nephew. Today is the day she will return home but she felt unhappy. Because she didn't want to return home and see those three evil witches' faces. If not the reason she needed the consent of her stepmother for her engagement with the young duke, she will never see those evil witches' faces anymore. She will just sneak back home to take her little friends with her. But the Marchioness already informed her stepmother through the letter. So she didn't have any choice but to return home.'Tsk! For sure those suckers will give me trouble first before giving me consent with the engagement.' Erella thought nibbling her fingernail.'What should I do? Do I need to use my magic on them? Hmmm...' She thought. Then she shook her head.'I can't use my magic on them. Surely, I'll kill them accidentally because I can't still fully control how much ma
BOOM!A sudden blast came in the carriage where Erella and Max were. The carriage was burst into splinter. Then Max flew to the bushes while Erella was just standing where the carriage was before and emitting strong mana. Everyone was astounded while looking at the little girl who destroyed the carriage. They already heard about how strong Erella was but, experiencing it firsthand was really unbelievable! The monsters who were fighting the knight stopped for a moment. They greatly felt intimidated at Erella's exuding power. The monsters kept on looking at one another with fear in their faces, then decided to back down and retreat. Max's groan made Erella return to a normal state. Afterward, she ran towards Max and checked if he was alright."MAX!? Are you alright? Where did you get hurt? I'm really sorry Max! I can't still control my powers." She said apologetically while worrying about him. Max warmly smiled at her. The knights who were wit
