Lord Ashe was a humble man with a modesty estate in the wood boarding a Kingdom. He loved once and had a daughter as a result.
He named her Cinderella.
Now Cinderella was a happy young child but was very lonely, noticing this Lord Ashe arranged to have the two daughters of an old friend come and visit.
Their names were Charlotte and Christine.
The three would play together, have picnics, and tell stories all day under the watch of the girls' mother Lady Essie who presented herself as the perfect maternal figure to Lord Ashe.
Tragically Lady Essie's husband passed away and while they had a good name, they didn't have much wealth. So the kind-hearted Lord Ashe offered his home to them.
Seeing a chance to unite the two broken families, Lord Ashe and Lady Essie married.
The girl's rejoiced at the idea that they would soon be sisters and everything was wonderful…until it was not.
