Holy Idol [EN]: Chapter 513

◈ 513. That Person is Cinderella!

Meng Wu-shin shouted in anger.

“So you hit me as soon as you saw me!”

But Ardor was adamant.

“Where is he? Where’s the High Priest? Why are you here?”

He looked as if he thought Meng Wu-shin was aiming for the lead role and had locked Rembrary in the warehouse.

Meng Wu-shin was speechless and felt wronged, so he sobbed.

“Damn it, it wasn’t me! I’m telling you, it wasn’t me! The dungeon made me the lead! I didn’t want to do it either! How much… how much I suffered… really, how much I suffered-”

Ardor, who wasn’t interested in Meng Wu-shin’s suffering, interrupted him and asked again.

“Then where is the High Priest?”

“I don’t know! He went out first with the stepmother! He must have arrived first! Go look for him!”

Meng Wu-shin shouted, feeling wronged that he was suffering in this unwanted lead role and getting hit with bouquets, but Ardor shouted to the soldiers, feeling wronged that the person he had been waiting for hours was Meng Wu-shin.

“Find Cinderella’s stepsister! Blonde! Long hair! Red eyes! The most handsome person in the world!”

Then, as he tried to go down the stairs himself, Meng Wu-shin urgently grabbed him.

“You crazy bastard, what are you looking for? He’s not needed in this scene!”

“He is needed!”

“What are you talking about!”

“The High Priest is my main character every hour.”

“You money-grubbing bastard…”

Meng Wu-shin wanted to snatch the bouquet from Ardor and beat him with it.

“Damn it, who cares who the main character of your life is! I’m the main character of the dungeon! You have to be with me to escape! Your High Priest is probably eating something alone somewhere!”

“The High Priest will be looking for me. He’ll be lonely and looking for me. He’s a noble person. He can’t even drink a sip of juice in this strange place-”

“We found him, Your Highness! He was eating in the kitchen!”

Meng Wu-shin looked at him with a ‘Didn’t I tell you?’ expression, and Ardor looked down the stairs.

Rembrary was entering the hall with the soldiers, holding a fork in one hand and a cake plate in the other, looking bewildered.

Meng Wu-shin clicked his tongue.

“Can’t even drink a sip of juice, my ass. He’s holding a plate of cake and eating it.”

“It’s good to eat well. The High Priest is that kind of person. He’s always composed wherever he is. It’s good to eat well and live well wherever you are.”

“Lick your lips, you son of a bitch.”

Just then.

As Ardor was excitedly about to run down to Rembrary, suddenly one of the ballroom chandeliers went out with a pop.

“Eek!”

“Oh, my heart!”

“What is it!”

As people were screaming, an even more amazing thing happened.

Mulu appeared in the air with huge fairy wings.

“It’s a fairy!”

“It’s the Fairy Godmother!”

I don’t know how they recognized her, but some of the characters exclaimed in surprise.

Meng Wu-shin frowned reflexively when the Fairy Godmother he had been waiting for so long appeared.

A sense of betrayal surged as he saw the fairy’s green hair.

He thought Ardor hadn’t come to his house with the glass slipper because he was messing with him.

But it was that green-haired woman’s doing!

As expected, the personality that wielded a spear at their first meeting wasn’t going anywhere.

Ardor and the green-haired woman were birds of a feather.

“Damn it. What Fairy Godmother comes to find Cinderella at 11:45 PM?”

Does she even have any intention of leaving the dungeon?

As he was grumbling, Mulu seemed to be planning to give him the glass slipper, as she looked around below and flew straight towards him.

Relieved, Meng Wu-shin was about to say something.

But Mulu, who had arrived in front of the two, suddenly waved her staff in the air.

Ah, the transformation is done, just give me the glass slipper. Meng Wu-shin thought.

However, the light from the staff that Mulu waved went not to Meng Wu-shin, but to Ardor next to him.

“What.”

Meng Wu-shin stepped back in surprise as Ardor suddenly raised both hands towards the sky, as if they were tied to a string.

That wasn’t all.

Light and music began to flow out, and Ardor began to spin in place like a ballerina.

It wasn’t a hallucination, he could actually hear the sound of ‘ddiri-ri-ri-ri’.

In addition, Ardor’s body was sparkling with white light.

What was most surprising was Ardor spinning around and around in one place.

“The prince is dancing!”

“Ah, beautiful.”

As all the light around Ardor’s body seeped into him, who was spinning so beautifully that people sighed, the already splendid prince’s attire transformed into a dazzlingly sparkling attire.

“Oh! Magic!”

“It’s a miracle!”

The people who saw this cheered in surprise, but Meng Wu-shin stared at Mulu with his mouth open.

Is that green-haired woman really going crazier than Ardor?

At that moment. Mulu’s voice from a few days ago began to repeat in Meng Wu-shin’s head.

“Someone to tell me what Cinderella is…?”

“Someone to tell me what Cinderella is…?”

“Someone to tell me what Cinderella is…?”

Meng Wu-shin recalled his explanation to Mulu and screamed silently.

The green-haired woman wasn’t crazy. It was his own mouth that had done it.

Meng Wu-shin realized his mistake of not properly explaining the story of Cinderella to Mulu because he was having a war of nerves over the role, and tore at his hair.

Meanwhile. Mulu was handing Ardor a miniature pumpkin carriage and a pair of glass slippers, like a child’s toy.

“Your clothes will disappear at twelve o’clock. Finish everything by then.”

A chilling warning followed.

“Hey, that’s not it!”

Meng Wu-shin shouted to correct the situation, but his scream was buried as Mulu disappeared with a pop.

As Mulu disappeared, the light from the chandelier returned.

The people were in a commotion, murmuring, and then belatedly turned pale and shouted.

“The fairy cursed the prince!”

“The prince’s clothes will disappear at twelve o’clock…!”

Rembrary stood there eating cake and looked at the clock.

11:57.

“Three minutes left.”

Meng Wu-shin, seeing that, went crazy. No way.

If things continued like this, he would be trapped in a fairy tale world with these tiresome members. That could never happen.

“Ugh! Give it to me!”

Thinking he couldn’t let things continue, Meng Wu-shin finally ran to Ardor and snatched the glass slipper.

“This is mine!”

The pumpkin carriage would disappear later anyway, so he didn’t need to take it. All he needed was the glass slipper.

Having made his decision, Meng Wu-shin turned around hastily with the glass slipper and began to climb back up the stairs he had come down.

Swinging the bouquet in one hand, Meng Wu-shin pushed his way through the people.

“Everyone, get out of the way! Get out of the way!”

The people, who had been dumbfounded, finally came to their senses and shouted urgently.

“Thief!”

“It’s a thief!”

“Catch Cinderella!”

Rembrary quickly went up the stairs and pushed Ardor, who was standing in the center of the stairs, from behind.

“What are you doing? Go find a shoe!”

“Yes!”

Only then did Ardor quickly start following Meng Wu-shin. The soldiers also ran after Ardor.

By that time, Meng Wu-shin was already passing through the long corridor and out the door in the palace building.

If he ran along this long plain, he would come to a tremendously high staircase, and after going down that staircase and running across the plain again, his horse would be among the carriages.

Meng Wu-shin gritted his teeth and ran, and when he heard the sound of “Catch the thief!” from behind, he glanced back and was horrified.

The prince was gone and the soldiers were rushing after him, it was truly terrifying.

“Dae-ju [term of respect]! I won’t let you get away with this!”

Meng Wu-shin even shed tears as he shouted.

What Cinderella in the world is chased by a group of soldiers like this?

If they were going to force him to take on the role of Cinderella and make him suffer the hardships of the original, they should at least give him the glory!

“I’ve never had a good time being involved with those bastards! I knew it would be like this!”

Meng Wu-shin finally cried.

The clock chiming twelve o’clock was ringing in the back, and a gunshot rang out through it.

Along with the prince’s shout of “Get out of the way! I’m in the lead! Get out of the way!”

It seemed that the damn Ardor was breaking through the soldiers while firing warning shots into the air.

Should he be relieved that he wasn’t shooting this way?

When he was about halfway down the stairs, Meng Wu-shin stopped for a moment and threw one of the glass slippers he was holding at Ardor’s head with all his might.

Ardor raised his hand and easily caught the shoe.

At that moment, the bell stopped ringing and Ardor’s clothes disappeared with a snap.

“Ah! My eyes!”

Meng Wu-shin was horrified to see that and stumbled back, rolling down the stairs.

The soldiers knew that the thief was rolling down the stairs alone, but they couldn’t follow because they couldn’t dare to look at the prince’s naked body, so they quickly lowered their heads and knelt down.

Meng Wu-shin, who had rolled down the long stairs, limped and found his horse.

Fortunately, the soldiers guarding the carriage and the coachman did not immediately know about the commotion inside, and above all, they were surprised by what had happened on the stairs and did not even look at Meng Wu-shin.

Meng Wu-shin quickly got on the horse and left the place.

His legs, arms, and waist all hurt as if a bone was broken or cracked.

* * *

“That crazy person not only stole the prince’s belongings but also threw his shoes at him.”

“Oh my gosh. Which family’s son is he?”

“How is the prince? Is he okay?”

“Fortunately, he found one glass slipper, but his clothes disappeared…”

“What? What does that have to do with it?”

Rembrary was eating a tart while listening to the whispers around him, but when he heard the story that Cinderella had rolled down the stairs, he put the plate back down.

‘Oh dear.’

* * *

Capture the criminal who robbed the prince’s belongings and tried to assassinate the prince.

His name is Cinderella. He took one of the prince’s glass slippers.

If you know who this person is, or if you are trying to dispose of stolen goods related to him, please report it to the Royal Guard.

Additional. The criminal was injured from rolling down the stairs, so he may call a doctor.

* * *

Rembrary went out to the village to check on the situation on behalf of Meng Wu-shin, and clicked his tongue after seeing the notice posted on the bulletin board.

“Oh dear, what should I do?”

The prince is not looking for a marriage partner, but a thief.

Still, it was amazing that the story was still progressing because he was looking for him.

Shouldn’t he have been eliminated a long time ago?

Rembrary clicked his tongue several times and returned home.

Meng Wu-shin, who had been treated by Rembrary that day, was lying on his bed in a clean state, staring blankly at the ceiling, and asked.

“How is it?”

“An arrest warrant has been issued to find the thief Cinderella.”

“Ah… damn it. That was originally mine!”

“In other people’s eyes, it was the prince’s, so isn’t that a problem?”

“XX!”

Meng Wu-shin hit the headboard of the bed with a bang.

“If your green-haired woman had just given me the glass slipper properly in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened!”

Meng Wu-shin, angry, kicked the bed covers and asked.

“What do we do now?”

“What do we do? Still, you have to meet Ardor and try on the shoe. Wouldn’t that lead to an escape? At least the story will end, right?”

“With Cinderella going to jail?”

Rembrary shrugged, and Meng Wu-shin made a painful sound.

At that moment, there was a commotion outside the window.

Rembrary leaned out the window.

“What is it?”

“The soldiers are here. They must be here to catch Senior Meng.”

“What? Already?!”

“The stepmother must have reported it.”

“That’s too fast!”

Meng Wu-shin shouted in disbelief, but in the meantime, the sound of someone roughly climbing the stairs was already heard from downstairs.

Meng Wu-shin jumped up.

Almost at the same time, the door opened and Ardor, accompanied by soldiers, appeared with a glass slipper in one hand and a smile on his face.
