Hello, Hattie here. I'm writing for my stepsister Ella, who sadly is no longer able to. You see, the epilogue of Ella's original story is not the real one. His most annoying majesty, Prince Char or whatever you want to call him, made the whole thing up to make it seem like he was a better person. Ella's true ending was lost behind pages of lies. But that's why I'm here, to tell you what happened after the so-called "happily-ever after wedding".
A couple of things must be explained first. When Prince Char snuck to the printing press to change his image, he also changed the images of a few other people as well. Including me, my sister and my mother. He seemed to have made us the evil stepfamily, although in truth, we loved Ella and were always supportive of her decisions.
Prince Char seemed so kind and caring towards Ella at first. He even gave her a baby horse named Apple. But that all changed soon after their marriage, when Prince Char revealed his true self. But never the less, Ella remained faithfully by his side, telling herself that it was just a phase he was going through. They even had 2 daughters together, Peaches and Pear. (I know, Ella is real creative with names huh)
But even through all of Ella's kindness, Prince Char remained hard and cold, abusing her and never showing her even an ounce of love. Finally when he murdered her horse, Apple, it was the last straw. She escaped with her children and came to our wonderful mansion. We welcomed her with open arms. But something was different about Ella. She no longer laughed and smiled, but spent her days locked alone in her room. Finally when she didn't come out for 2 days straight, I thought I'd better check on her. I picked the lock and to my horror, found Ella's lifeless body on the ground with a poison apple in her hand.
So now, Ella's daughters live in our mansion while the whole kingdom believes that Ella disappeared. A few brave souls go up to the castle and tried to ask Prince Char what become of that sweet laughing maiden. But those with that question in mind never came out again.
Now that ends the true story. I know that's not what you expected, but that's what the truth is, right? Rest in peace Ella, I will never forget you.
