Let's start ☝️☝️
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Coming mother!
Angelica hastily wipes her hand over her dirty apron before running from the kitchen where she was making breakfast for her 'lovely' mother and sisters to the dinning room where they all sat arguing over the dumbest thing ever.
She ignored the mocking giggles and glances her sisters shot at her as she passed by them to her mother.
Angelica Celeborn/fl
You called for me, mother?
Grace fisher/fl's mother
Why ask such a meaningless question when you came here obviously because I called you, hmm? *glares at Angelica*
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*Bows her head politely* My most sincere apologies, mother *rolls her eyes secretly before forcing a sweet smile*
Grace fisher/fl's mother
*nods in approval and clears her throat*
Angelica Celeborn/fl
May I ask why you called me? ☺️☺️
Grace tried to talk only to be interrupted by her daughters noise
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*shakes her head internally* [Dumb as usual]😒😒
Angelica Celeborn/fl
[Why are my sisters so... dumb and annoying? All they do is whine and cry. If mother knew what I was thinking about she'd call me a she-devil since I'm apparently a evil lass who wishes her sisters bad]😒😒
Grace fisher/fl's mother
Girls, quiet down
Emiliana Celeborn/fl's sister
But mother... *teary eyed* We just wanted to know what pet was better...*sobs childishly*😭😭
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*Sighs* [Sooooo childish]
Grace fisher/fl's mother
😔😔😔 I'm sorry my lovely babies. I didn't mean to yell at you all.
Grace fisher/fl's mother
When I'm done speaking to Angelica here, you can all commence with your meaningful debates
All five of the sisters echoed a 'yes mother' before keeping quiet
Angelica Celeborn/fl
[Sometimes... I think I'm adopted, and honestly I'd be happy if I was. It has to be a crime to share blood with these... not so sensible people]
Grace fisher/fl's mother
Where is our breakfast??
Angelica Celeborn/fl
I'm not done preparing it
Grace fisher/fl's mother
Well be quick about it. My cubs are hungry right girls??
Once again all five sisters echoed a 'yes mother'
Grace fisher/fl's mother
You heard them. Now run along
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*Frowns in disgust as the family converse* I'm sorry to say mother, but I would have been done preparing breakfast if I had help in the kitchen
Evangelina Celeborn/fl's sister
*Gasp* Are you implying we come help you in that dirty kitchen 😱😱
Emiliana Celeborn/fl's sister
No way!!! 😭😭
Celadina Celeborn/fl's sister
I would never step foot in that kitchen, hmph😒😒
Ariana Celeborn/fl's sister
That's the only thing you're useful for, dear sister after all you're not really appealing to the eyes like us😔😔😔
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Did you just call me ugly?😑😑😑
Juliana Celeborn/fl's sister
Well technically she didn't call you... Ugly, she called you unappealing to the eyes 😊😊😊
Those are two different things
Angelica Celeborn/fl
But they mean the exact same thing 😑😑😑
Ariana Celeborn/fl's sister
Whatever. We're never gonna be helping you in the kitchen, right mother??
Grace fisher/fl's mother
Of course darling. That's your job Angelica
Angelica Celeborn/fl
But mother-
Grace fisher/fl's mother
What? Do you want me to join you in the kitchen??
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*pauses* Well... I wouldn't reject the offer-
Grace fisher/fl's mother
How dare you!!
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*sighs* I apologize mother, but breakfast would be quicker if I had the help of one of my sisters
Angelica Celeborn/fl
[You guys cannot really blame me for wanting to push years of my burdens unto any of my sisters shoulder]
Grace fisher/fl's mother
I will not allow any of my cubs into the kitchen and that marks the end of this conversation
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Well then I'll get back to work [I'm tired of trying to convince her at this point. I'll leave this house soon]
Grace fisher/fl's mother
Yes, yes leave at once
Angelica turned to leave only to have her sisters make spiteful remarks about her
Ariana Celeborn/fl's sister
Why is she so dirty? *gags in disgust*
Celadina Celeborn/fl's sister
Her dress is so out of date *scowl*
Emiliana Celeborn/fl's sister
What's those dark spots on her face... gross
Angelica Celeborn/fl
[If my sisters were sensible people I would actually be bothered their remarks, but fortunately they're all dumb]
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*walk back to the kitchen and continues making breakfast* We keep going "sighs*
Blacksaint
I'm sorry if the book is going too slow
Blacksaint
Tell me what you guys think in the comments section
Chapter 2- The Celeborn family II
Blacksaint
I know I didn't really explain the family so I'll be using this chapter to explain
Blacksaint
Let's start ☝️☝️
Angelica hadn't always lived her life as a free maid to her mother and sisters
It all started when her mother, grace fisher, a fisher's daughter ran away to the capital city of the kingdom of Lucricea and became a courtesan in a well known brothel where she met Edgar Celeborn, a nice young baron
She wanted to get out of the brothel, so she did whatever she could to have her way. She drugged the poor baron and roped him with a baby he Couldn't refuse, so he married her
They gave birth to a total of 6 children, all girls. The first daughter was Evangelina Celeborn who is 25, the second daughter Celadina Celeborn who is 23, the third child Ariana Celeborn who is 22, the fourth child Angelica Celeborn who is 21,the fifth child Juliana Celeborn who is 19 and the last child Emiliana Celeborn who is 17
Six years later after the birth of Emiliana, Edgar became gravely ill and a few months he passed away
Immediately after his death grace sold her husband's baron title and pushed Angelica to do all the household chores while the rest of her sisters lived their lives lavishly
Angelica Celeborn/fl
[Which explains why I'm serving my family their breakfast in a dirty maiden dress while my sisters were dressed in colorful dresses]😑😑😑
Grace fisher/fl's mother
*clear her throat* Took you long enough
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*frowns in disgust as she watches her sisters stuff their faces with the food she made*
Grace fisher/fl's mother
Aren't you going to join us?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Oh no, mother, I've had my share in the kitchen already
Grace fisher/fl's mother
Then you may get going to your room *continues to eat*
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Oh actually mother, I'd like to visit the library to get myself a few books to read😊😊😊
Grace fisher/fl's mother
😒😒😒 I've told you countless times and I shall say it again, a girl doesn't need to be literate, all you need is a husband to take care of you and your children 🤓🤓🤓
Juliana Celeborn/fl's sister
Precisely mother. Books and academies are for idiots
Emiliana Celeborn/fl's sister
And fools and moron
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*Rolls her eyes* You're right only idiot read and go to academies, why? So they'll stop being fools and moron unlike some people who decide to stay stupid for the rest of their lives
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*Smiles in victory when her sisters shuts up in defeat*
Grace fisher/fl's mother
*Sighs and hold her temple* Just leave
Angelica Celeborn/fl
😊😊😊 I'll be back late, mother
Grace fisher/fl's mother
I don't really care
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*Smiles brightly* I'll take my leave now
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*Leaves the manor and let's out a sigh of relief*
Angelica Celeborn/fl
[Now I can have some moments of peace for myself]
Angelica skipped away with a bright smile on her face as she headed to the library
Blacksaint

Blacksaint
Just a quick reminder that this is a Cinderella retell so a few things are going to be similar
Blacksaint
Let's start ☝️☝️
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Hello Mr Benson
Angelica greets the kind librarian as she walked into the library
Mr. Benson/librarian
*smiles* Angelica, is that you?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
😊😊😊 Yes Mr Benson
Mr. Benson/librarian
It's been a while, hasn't it?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
You know my mother
Mr. Benson/librarian
*laughs* Well it's nice to have you here again
Mr. Benson/librarian
Oh and the sequel of your favorite book has finally arrived
Angelica Celeborn/fl
The crimson knight!!!
Mr. Benson/librarian
*smiles* Yes
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*Jumps up happily and runs off* [Finally]
Mr. Benson/librarian
Careful alright?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Yes Mr Benson!!
Angelica climbs up the ladder of one of the shelves in search of the book she wanted
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*Stretches her hand to get the book* [Why didn't I take after my mother's or father's tall height. Whose height do I even take after]
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*stands on her tippy-toes and finally gets the book*
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*sighs* Finally- Ahhhhhhhhh!!! *slips off the ladder"
Angelica shut her eyes expecting the pain that would come when she lands ungracefully, but surprisingly she fell into someone's strong arms instead
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*opens her eyes slowly and gasps* [he's definitely an Angel]
Angelica Celeborn/fl
[goodness even his voice sounds angelic] 🤤🤤🤤
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*wipes her imaginary drool away*
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Yes... yes I'm okay *stares*
Man
Then am I allowed to put you down now?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Of course!! *jumps out of his arms*
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*Bows politely* Thank you for saving my life, my lord
Angelica guessed he had a noble status from the way he dressed
Man
*shakes his head* You don't have to address me as such. You can call me Callisto or callis if you feel more comfortable
Angelica Celeborn/fl
[me?? Call a noble man by his name??] *shakes her head hurriedly* I wouldn't dare. I'm just a lowly commoner
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
*smiles* I insist
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*hesitates* Very well... Callis
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
See, not too difficult, is it?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*nods* Callis... *smiles* [he has a nice name]
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
And what's the reason behind that smile if I may ask *smiles*
Angelica Celeborn/fl
[What's this feeling? Is this.... Love?? Nah, I'm probably just very flustered]
Angelica Celeborn/fl
It's not much, it's just that you have the exact same name as the main character of the crimson knight *raises the book in her hand*
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
*surprised* You can read?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Yes, I can🙂🙂🙂
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
That's quite impressive. No offense but it's quite rare to find a literate commoner.
Angelica Celeborn/fl
You flatter me, my lor- *blinks shyly* callis
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
*smiles* I didn't get your name
Angelica Celeborn/fl
It's Angelica
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
Angel. You don't mind if I call you that, do you?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*Blinks dumbly* Of course not
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
Angel it is then *smiles*
Angelica Celeborn/fl
[better to say away from noble men]
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*forces a smile* Okay... Callis. I'll get going no-
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
*cuts her off* How about you recommend me a few books to read. I'm not familiar with this library
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*scratches her head awkwardly* Umm... Of course [that's the least I can do for the person who save my life]
Angelica and Callisto ended up spending hours in the library together discussing books and the conversation ended up shifting to her life at home
Angelica Celeborn/fl
And I'm the only daughter of my parents whose name ends with a 'CA' and not a 'NA' like rest of my sisters *scowls*
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
*laughs loudly* They probably love you more
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*scoffs* Love, my foot. It's just child discrimination
They both let out a hearty laugh at Angelica's word like it was the funniest thing they've ever heard
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*stops laughing and thinks* [why am I even telling him all this? Is it because of his gentle personality or is it just that I've never seen a fine man like him before? Or am I really falling in love with him?]
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*glances at callis who had just recovered from his laughter* [nahhh there's no such thing as love at first sight. I'm probably just man deprived]
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
I'm sorry but your family are just so... *laughs* And I thought mine was worst *smile slowly disappears*
Angelica Celeborn/fl
[I can tell his family isn't a easy topic for him, so I didn't bother asking and besides just because we've sent a few hours together does not mean I can start asking personal questions like that]
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
Anyways-
Mr. Benson/librarian
Angelica!
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Yes, Mr Benson!
Mr. Benson/librarian
You do know you have somewhere to be, right?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
[The brothel!!] I totally forget!!
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Thanks, Mr Benson
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
*frowns* Are you going somewhere?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*gets out of her seat* Yes. I'm sorry, but I have to go now
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
*stands as well and smiles* It's okay, Angel. I really enjoyed our time together-
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*Speaks hurriedly* Oh yeah, me too
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Gotta go now! Byee
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
*Eyes widen* Wait!!
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*stops*
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
Are we ever going to see each other again?
Angelica Celeborn/fl
*smiles* Definitely [definitely hope not]
Angelica Celeborn/fl
Bye, Mr Benson!! *runs out*
Callisto Valmorin/2nd ml
*Smiles and picks up the book' The crimson knight' from the table* Angelica Celeborn... We'll definitely meet again
Blacksaint
This chapter is a bit long but as promised I introduced one of the male leads
