Chapter Eighteen: The death of the king and queen/Pepper's punishment

At the throne room

The next day Tony was walking down the halls of the palace as he sighed while walking into the throne room where he would see his parents sitting on their thrones waiting for him. As he got to where they were his mother Maria spoke kindly "How did you sleep last night my son?" Tony sighed as he said "I couldn't sleep last night." Howard looked at his son as he said "Does it have to do with that mysterious girl that came to the ball last night" Tony sighed as he said "Well yeah it does have to deal with the girl at the ball last night." Howard got up from the throne as he went up to Tony as he said "Then go find her son, and don't ever give up until you do. Which I have declared that whoever fits into the glass slipper shall be come your wife son" Tony smiled and for the first time in his life he actually hugged his father as he whispered "Thank you dad" then Howard smiled at him as he whispered back with "Your welcome son." Then both the queen and king watched their son walked out of the throne room to look for the beautiful princess that fits into the glass slipper.

Howard walked back to his seat and sat on his throne next to his wife as he said "You know what I'm glad that our son has finally found someone to be with." Maria put her hand on his as she said "I'm glad too honey" as both of them smiled at each other lovingly but it was short lived as Obadiah came into the throne room with some guards. Howard looked at his Duke as he noticed that some of the guards were not from the palace but from the Winterstar. Howard stood up as he said "What is the meaning of this" Obadiah looked at both the king and queen as he said "I'm sorry your majesties but we are here to throw you in the dungeon." Maria stood up gasped as she said "Under what grounds Obadiah! King Howard and I have done nothing for anyone to suspect this from us" Obadiah smirked as he said "But you did, you told your son that he shouldn't marry the Princess Ann for Winterstar. Since you told him that you and your husband are traders!"

Howard got angry as he said "That is not what happened and you know it Obadiah! We told everyone in the kingdom as well as the King and his daughter Princess Ann of Winterstar that our son will chose a bride when we gave out the invitations. That is what our son wanted and you know that when we told you! You know that why would you accuse us for this treason" but then Maria put her hand on Howard as she whispered out "In less he wanted this to happened." Howard looked at Obadiah angry as he said "It is you who betrayed our kingdom; it should be you who needs to be thrown into the dungeon not us! Guards sees the Duke Obadiah at once" as then no one came to help them as Howard yelled out again "Guards get Duke Obadiah now" again no one came to their add. Maria looked at her husband sadly as she said "No one is coming" that is when Obadiah spoke in an evil tone "I'm afraid that none of the guards will come to your add your majesties. You see I had them taken care of but seeing that you two won't go to the dungeons then I guess we'll do this the hard way won't we.

Howard had a scared look on his face as he turned to Maria as he whispered to her just before he pulled out his sword "Find our son and run, both of you run as fast as you can! Don't let him come back here until I find some nearby kingdom to help us now go" Maria nodded as she started to off running towards the entrance to the main hall but was stopped by the Winterstar guard. While Maria ran for it Howard pulled out his sword as he said "Unguarded Obadiah" Obadiah pulled out his sword as well as he said "We'll see Howard" as then the fight between Howard and Obadiah started.

Maria ran to the other side of the throne room only to be stopped by another guard as she said "Please let me pass" the guard nodded 'no' to her and charged at her as she ran her way around the throne room only to be stopped again by the King of Winterstar. Maria screamed out "Help, help us King Thomas. Obadiah is trying to kill my husband and I please help us" but to her horror she watched as King Thomas pulled out his dagger and stabbed it into Maria's chest as she screamed out in agony and pain.

The clinging of swords could be heard throughout the throne room as Howard and Obadiah were fighting each other. Howard wiped his sword around to hit Obadiah in the face forming a gash on his left eye as the evil Duke screamed out in pain making him take a step back; Howard could feel that this was his only chance as he charged to Obadiah raising his sword high just as he was about to do the finished blow to the evil Duke he hears the dreadful screams of someone on the other side of the throne room. He looked over to see Maria being stabbed by King Thomas from Winterstar; Howard screamed as he was about to charge at King Thomas only to feel the stabbing sensation of pain which made him turned around to see Obadiah had pulled out of him the sword that he was using to fight him. Howard dropped to his knees as he looked up at his attacker as he whimpered out "Why" only for Obadiah to say to the king "Because I'm sick of being your servant! Besides I've always wanted to rule this kingdom, but don't worry I'll take good care of your son Prince Tony Stark." Obadiah stabbed Howard again then pulled his sword out of him as he watched the king fall to his side and looked over to see Maria looking at him on her other side which their eyes met before both of them could pass on to the next world. Howard mouthed out 'I love you Maria' as then Maria let a tear fall down her cheek as she too mouthed out 'I love you too Howard'. Then both of them died at the hands of Obadiah and King Thomas.

Obadiah cleaned up his sword as King Thomas cleaned his as he said to Obadiah "What are we going to do with the bodies? If Prince Tony finds out" Obadiah moved quickly to the king of Winterstar as he responded "Look he won't find out, the only thing that handsome prince will see is that his parents were murdered by some bandits. Once we get him to fall for that then we're off Scott free, besides he's going to be busy finding that mysterious lady from the ball that lost her shoe."

Meanwhile in the cottage

Pepper was getting breakfast ready for her step family when a knock on the door came. She went up to the main floor from the kitchen; as she opened the door there stood a footman at the door and said "Are you the lady of the house?" Pepper nodded no but then said "I can deliver the message" the footman nodded as he said "Prince Tony will be traveling far and wide in search of the beautiful mysterious princess that lost her missing glass slipper. Please inform her mistress of the news" Pepper watched as the footman went on his horse and left the grounds. Pepper quickly closed the door as she ran up the stairs only to run into Anastasia as her good step-sister said "What's the hurry" Pepper gasped out "Tony, Tony is looking for me. I have to get the you know what" Anastasia smiled at her as she said "Go get that other shoe and go to him!" Both ladies gave each other a hug and Pepper went up the stairs to the attic to get her shoe. As Anastasia was about to stepped down to the last step Drisella appeared right there waiting for her.

Anastasia looked at her sister with warning as she said "Can I do something for you?" Drisella watched her sister come down the stairs as she said "What were you and Cinderella talking about? Does it have to do with the prince finding the person that fits into the glass slipper that he found?"

Anastasia looked at her sister shocked as she said "How did you know about that" Drisella smirked as she said "Oh it was nothing, I was just listening to Cinderella's conservation with the footmen and that is how I found out. So I don't think Cinderella will ever be able to see the prince ever again" Anastasia looked up the stairs and then to her sister as she said "Why would you say that? You know that she wasn't at the ball last night" Drisella walked up to her sister and hit her on the head with something heavy making Anastasia hit the floor while making her evil sister smile.

Pepper finally got to her room in the attic and went through her hiding spot where she had hid the glass slipper. But Pepper looked down to see that it wasn't there only to hear something behind her say "Were you looking for this" Pepper turned around to see that her evil step mother was actually holding the glass slipper that Pepper once had. Pepper stepped closer as the step mother said "Not another step" Pepper paused where she was as the evil step-mother spoke in a wicked tone "Let me tell you a story; there was a beautiful young lady who married for love and had two beautiful daughters from that very same husband who she loved dearly. But sadly the man she loved passed away and the woman knew she had to find a husband and she fell in love with the man who she thought was going to love her back. Sadly that wasn't meant to be since he only had eyes for his beautiful daughter" Pepper looked at her as she said "But my father" Lady Tremaine looked at Pepper as she yelled out "I wasn't finished you stupid girl! Sit down over there!"

Pepper did as she was told and sat on the chair that was already in the attic. Lady Tremaine continued "You see she knew that her daughters would have to be married to some nobles and that their lives would be saved. I knew that if they won the heart of the prince that we would be saved, but then you come along and steal the show from us. So this is what I suggest that if I give you this glass slipper back you need me to tell those people in the kingdom that you are of noble blood even though we all know you're not. Once we're in I will control the boy" Pepper got up and said "You may have fooled my father but I won't let you fool Prince Tony! Our love is stronger than you think Lady Tremaine."

Lady Tremaine seethed out "Really is that so" as then she smashed the glass slipper on the back of the arm rest of the couch making it shatter into a thousand pieces as Pepper yelled out "No" but Lady Tremaine wasn't done with her wicked ways yet as she walked over to Pepper as she said "I've noticed that you are in love with Prince Tony! That you were the one that had to have danced with him! I bet that you want him to touch you in places that you've never been touched before!" Pepper looked at her with tears coming down her face as she said "Why are you doing this to me? I've never treated you unkindly before or ever" Lady Tremaine seethed out "Because you are young and beautiful" as then Lady Tremaine snapped her fingers and all of the sudden Pepper as now laying on a bed with her wrists and feet tied to each end of it.

Pepper looked at Lady Tremaine in terror as the evil step-mother walked around her as she said "You probably don't know this but I've been doing a lot of magic lately and the one that I've been most proud of is sex magic. I could make a young man piss his pant as the site of me, make him rub himself to a point where he would beg me to give him release and then make him beg me to do it again and again." Pepper spoke in a quivered tone "What are you going to do to me?" Lady Tremaine smirked at Pepper as she said "Oh nothing but this" as then Pepper watched as the evil woman ripped her clothes off of her making her naked to the evil lady in question. As then a knock at the door came as Lady Tremaine said "Come in Drisella" as then the evil step sister came in wearing a corset and tights as Pepper cried out "Why is she here?" Drisella spoke in a cute baby tone to Pepper "I'm here to make you wet" Lady Tremaine unsnapped the crotch area of Drisella's corset making her exposing her pussy to Pepper. Pepper noticed that Drisella's boobs were big and that they looked like they would fall out of the corset. She also noticed that the corset was green and blue as well as her stockings. Pepper watched as Drisella got on the bed with her and that Lady Tremaine touched the bed and then to Drisella.

At first nothing happened but then Pepper felt a tingle in her crotch area as she gasped out "Oh what is that feeling? Why do I feel so, so, so, so" Drisella smirked as she said "Horny" Pepper tried to move her hand where to tingling feeling was but then realized that her hands were tied up. Drisella spoke again in a baby tone "Does Cinderella want her pussy to be played with" Pepper tried to close her mouth to not say anything but the feeling was getting stronger and stronger that she just moaned out "No, oh" but Drisella was now kneeling close to her as she slid her fingers into Pepper's pussy and started to do little circles on them. Pepper was trying to fight the feeling of desire and wanting as she thrashed back and forth but Lady Tremaine smirked as she knew that this is how they all acted when she did this spell. That this is how they all acted when the spell was put in place; they would thrash around saying that they don't want it until they sarcoma to it and that was when the fun would begin. Pepper could feel her body was betraying her as she felt herself getting wetter and wetter as she could feel a pull of her juices leaking out of her and on to the bed. Drisella now bend down and licking up the juice that Pepper as releasing out of herself; Lady Tremaine laughed out "Oh Cinderella you are a naughty girl" Pepper cried as Drisella continued to rape her and her body continued to betray her. After Drisella got done her dirty deed to Pepper Lady Tremaine walked to the door opened the door while Drisella picked up her clothes that she had taken off and walked through the door leaving Pepper naked. Lady Tremaine looked back as she said "You'll never have the prince or you're happily ever after" then laughed as she closed the door behind her leaving Pepper to be cold and alone in the attic.

Pepper cried as then she heard Ratchet say "Pepper you okay. . . . . . Wait that was stupid of course you're not okay. What happened to Anastasia? For some reason I couldn't find her it was like someone had blocked me from doing anything to the story. I bet it had to do with Amethyst" Pepper just continued to cry as Ratchet sighed as he noticed that Pepper's breast were now a 38 double ds and that she had been tied up to the bed. Ratchet then said "Cinderella got out to the restrains and put on her servant's cloths back on" as then the restrains from the bed disappeared and her cloths had appeared on her again. She looked up at Ratchet as she mouthed out 'Thank you' then laid back on the bed in a fetal position. Ratchet nodded then went to the next scene of the book where Tony would find out what happened to his parents.
