Prince Charming The King and his Duke …show more content…
Feeling that she needs a mother figure in his life, he remarries to a woman who has two daughters of her own, whose names are Anastasia and Drizella. Unfortunately, Cinderella's father dies, and the orphaned girl starts to see another side of her stepmother and stepsisters, who are jealous of her beautiful looks and personality. She is turned into the château's scullery maid, and is forced by her stepmother and stepsisters to keep her late father's residence from falling into disrepair. Meanwhile, Anastasia and Drizella are pampered to the extreme. Meanwhile, the grandchild-craving King decides that he and the Grand Duke should throw a ball for all the eligible ladies in the kingdom so as to find Prince Charming a wife. As the stepsisters are having a singing lesson and Cinderella is singing as she is cleaning the floor, a messenger hands an invitation to the royal ball. Cinderella realizes that she can go, and the stepmother says that she can if she gets all her work done and can find something suitable to wear. There is much emphasis on the "if" though, and a work-ridden Cinderella doesn't even have a chance to start smartening up her mother's wedding dress into a nice ball …show more content…
Solution: Cinderella's fairy godmother appears, and with the wave of a magic wand, helps prepare Cinderella for the ball .A pumpkin becomes a coach, four of the mice become horses, an old horse becomes the coachman and the old dog Bruno becomes a footman. Last but not least, Cinderella's rags turn into a beautiful gown, complete with magical glass slippers. The fairy does warn Cinderella, however, that this magic will end at the stroke of midnight, so she must leave the ball before then. Cinderella doesn't care, though, and sets off for the palace.
Climax: Prince Charming is having trouble finding the right maiden, much to the King's annoyance. Yet when Cinderella arrives, he becomes interested, and the two start to dance. The stepmother, believing that she recognizes the mysterious princess from somewhere, tries to spy on them, yet is quickly thwarted by the Grand Duke. Cinderella and the prince spend the whole time together, and fall in love. All of a sudden, the clock starts to chime that it is midnight, and Cinderella hastily runs away, dropping a glass slipper as she does so. Cinderella escapes, with nothing from the night left, except from the other glass slipper, which had not changed
