00:00And then finally, finally, a letter arrived one morning.
00:04My hands were trembling so much, I almost ripped the letter trying to open the envelope.
00:10Dear Drizella,
00:11My delegation has been extended, and my duties have grown.
00:15I'm far too busy now to keep up with our correspondence.
00:18I hope you understand, and wish you well.
00:21Prince Henry.
00:22I read it three times, as if expecting other words to magically appear the more I stared at the paper.
00:28But that was it.
00:30Just this cold, impersonal letter after all these months.
00:34I told myself that he was really busy with big, important things.
00:39It had been almost a year since he left, and people can change.
00:43It's not like he ever said he loved me or promised me anything.
00:47And of course, there was nothing left to do now but move on with dignity and grace.
00:53I found great comfort in pastries, and gained a lot of weight.
00:57I considered becoming a nun, but decided against it, since nuns aren't allowed to curse.
01:02I went to the village witch, and said a friend was asking about ways to hex a prince.
01:07I started writing a vicious breakup letter to Henry, then realized you can't break up with someone you were never
01:13technically with, so I ate more pastries.
01:17Then, I started running at dawn, lost all the weight, and used Cinderella's stupidly good skin and hair stuff so
01:25he'd choke on his regret the next time he laid eyes on me.
01:28But no matter what I did, it didn't dull the ache of missing someone who didn't miss me back anymore.
01:35It had been months since that last letter, and I had picked myself up and moved on.
01:41So I wasn't expecting my stomach to lurch when an official invitation arrived from the palace, announcing a grand ball
01:49in honor of the prince's return.
01:50Great, other people could honor him.
01:53I wasn't going.
01:56Besides, Anastasia was terrified of dancing, and Mother wouldn't be up for it either.
02:02Over the past few months, she'd grown very weak and was always tired.
02:06I'd asked a couple of doctors to examine her, but they had no answers.
02:11Cinderella had been on top of her care, of course.
02:14Always fluffing her pillows, rubbing her feet, making her special herbal teas.
02:19And the thought had crossed my mind more than once.
02:22What exactly was she putting in those concoctions?
02:25I didn't think she was beyond slowly poisoning a woman for her inheritance.
02:29I'd thrown the invitation in the trash.
02:32But sometime later, Cinderella came into the living room, clutching it to her chest.
02:36You're invited to a royal ball, can you believe it?
02:39Oh, I've never been to a proper ball or worn a ball gown, and I've never seen the palace.
02:44I know I'm not invited, but maybe I could go, if you could take me with you?
02:50Yeah, no.
02:51We're not going.
02:52Royal balls are dull.
02:54Take our invitation and go, love.
02:57I'll arrange a carriage for you.
02:58You deserve to have some fun.
03:00Yeah, there was no cute fairy swishing a wand and going bibbidi-bobbidi-boo.
03:05Just my own mother handing Cinderella one of her finest gowns, a string of expensive pearls,
03:11and some money to buy shoes.
03:13Because naturally, Cinderella's feet were impossibly tiny and delicate, and she couldn't
03:19borrow shoes from us ogres.
03:21And off went Cinderella, looking like a vision.
03:25Since she was finally out of the house for a few hours, there was no way I wasn't going
03:30to snoop through her room.
03:31Which was, as I suspected, disgustingly perfect.
03:36Not a speck of dust.
03:38And everything was arranged with military precision.
03:42Psychopath.
03:43I rifled through her drawers, opened her wardrobe, peered under the bed.
03:47I didn't find some secret stash of poisons or a diary confessing to slow murder.
03:53I wasn't even sure what I was looking for, and I was beginning to feel stupid.
03:57I turned to leave when suddenly, my elbow bumped into a picture frame on her vanity,
04:02knocking it to the floor.
04:04I cursed under my breath as I picked it up.
04:07Luckily, nothing was broken, and the picture had just come out.
04:10As I was placing it back in, something slipped out.
04:14A folded piece of paper tucked away carefully.
04:17And when I opened it, I recognized the handwriting instantly.
04:21I would have known it anywhere.
04:23Dearest Drizella, I'm so sorry I haven't written in a while.
04:27A sudden, strange illness gripped me, and I was too sick to be moved or even lift my head.
04:34The royal court kept quiet to avoid panic, and it took me months to recover.
04:39Even now, the physicians say the worst is not over.
04:42I'm healthy otherwise, but my vision has been compromised permanently.
04:46They expect it will continue to worsen until I lose it entirely, perhaps within a few months
04:52or a year.
04:54Before that happens, before I lose my ability to pen down words myself, I need to tell you
05:00that I'm in love with you.
05:02I'm not the man you deserve, but if you could ever imagine a future with me, one where I
05:09will not have my sight, but you will have all my heart, I would ask you to marry me.
05:17I read it again and again and again.
05:21My knees gave out, and I sank to the floor.
05:25He had loved me.
05:26He had wanted to marry me.
05:28He had needed me when he had gotten such terrible news, and I'd never even known.
05:33I'd spent all this time thinking he'd forgotten me so easily, but it wasn't true.
05:39None of it was true.
05:40But Cinderella had known.
05:43How had she gotten this letter?
05:45Had she stolen it before it reached me?
05:47Did she intercept others too?
05:49Did Henry get mine?
05:51The broken sound escaped my throat.
05:53I wasn't crazy or paranoid.
05:56I'd been right about her all along.
05:59Suddenly, the sound of the front door opening snapped me back to reality.
06:03Cinderella had returned from the ball.
06:05I rose to my feet, pure rage surging through my veins.
06:10She'd taken everything from me, but this time, she wasn't getting away with it.
06:17I ran downstairs and found Cinderella by the fireplace, humming softly.
06:21And I lunged towards her and grabbed her hair.
06:24Oh my god, what are you doing?
06:26I shoved the letter in her face.
06:28Why do you have this?
06:30What did you do?
06:31What did you say to him?
06:33Her blue eyes went wide.
06:35Then slowly, she smiled.
06:38And before I could react, she grabbed the letter from me and flung it into the fire.
06:43What letter?
06:44I saw red as I screamed and tried to yank her hair from her skull.
06:50She managed to pull away from me, but I grabbed her dress, tearing away the silk.
06:55She shoved me, and I stumbled back as I ripped the pearls from her throat.
06:59Mother and Anastasia came running in at the noise.
07:02What is happening?
07:04She's attacking me.
07:05She's gone mad.
07:06Get her out of here.
07:08I swear, I will kill her if you don't.
07:11You don't know what she's done.
07:14She stole him from me.
07:15What?
07:16Who are you talking about?
07:18Henry!
07:19The crown prince!
07:21We were in love.
07:22He wanted to marry me.
07:24Mother and Anastasia just stared at me like I was speaking a foreign language.
07:29She's crazy and jealous.
07:31She's always hated me.
07:33Drizella, you've lost your mind and you're scaring us.
07:36No, I'm not crazy.
07:39I'll prove it.
07:40I tore up the stairs, running to my room.
07:42I flung open the chest under my bed where I'd kept all our letters.
07:46They were gone.
07:48All of them.
07:49I stumbled back down the stairs, half mad with grief and rage.
07:54I charged at Cinderella again, but Mother blocked my path and shielded her.
07:59You will not come near her again, you hear me?
08:02Enough!
08:03I couldn't breathe.
08:04I bolted from the house and ran out into the cold.
08:07I stumbled into the barn and sank onto the dirt floor, sobbing until my whole body hurt.
08:15I didn't know how much time had passed, but eventually the door creaked open and Anastasia
08:21walked in softly, kneeling beside me.
08:26If you say you talked to the prince, if you say you loved him, I believe you.
08:31You?
08:31You do?
08:32I knew you were hurting this past year.
08:35I mean, I know what eating your feelings looks like.
08:38But you just shut me out.
08:40I wish you hadn't.
08:41I leaned into her, the way we used to when we were little girls, feeling scared of thunder.
08:46And she pulled me into a warm hug.
08:50I didn't sleep a wink that night.
08:53Henry's letter replaying itself over and over in my mind.
08:57Tomorrow, I was going to the palace.
09:00I didn't have a plan or some speech prepared.
09:03I just knew I had to see him.
09:05And I wasn't coming back home without doing it.
09:08It was soon after dawn that I prepared my horse to leave.
09:11When a servant handed over a letter.
09:13Important news.
09:15By decree of his majesty, members of the royal family will be visiting each household in this town today.
09:22What?
09:22Why would the royal family be doing that?
09:24Would Henry be among them?
09:26I didn't know what was going on, but I had to stay back for the visit.
09:31Cinderella was probably still holed up in mother's room, which was good for her.
09:35Because if I saw her face, I would tear her apart.
09:39I paced around impatiently, looking out the window for any signs of the royal delegation approaching.
09:45I thought I'd get a better view from the attic, so I ran up.
09:48And as I stood there, with my face pressed to the window, suddenly, the hair on the back of my
09:54neck stood up.
09:55I turned, and Cinderella was standing in the doorway, her eyes gleaming.
10:01Before I could run towards her, she slammed the door shut, and I heard the lock click.
10:06Let me out!
10:07You crazy witch!
10:09Let me out!
10:10And when I saw the royal delegation arrive at her house, I felt manic.
10:15I kicked and banged and screamed until my throat was raw.
10:19But no one heard me.
10:21Why was the royal family here?
10:23What was Cinderella doing?
10:25Finally, I heard someone running up the stairs, and the door burst open.
10:29The prince!
10:30He's here!
10:31He's here!
10:32And he just...
10:34He just asked Cinderella to marry him.
10:36The words punched the air out of my lungs.
10:39You have to go!
10:41You have to stop him!
10:42Hurry!
10:43Hurry!
10:44Hurry!
10:49Just as the royal delegation was preparing to leave.
10:52And there he was.
10:54Henry was standing beside Cinderella, his hand cradling hers gently as he bent to kiss her fingers.
11:01Henry, no!
11:02You can't marry her!
11:04You don't know who she is!
11:06Everyone froze, including him.
11:08He slowly turned to me, squinting his eyes hard.
11:12And then, his face hardened to stone.
11:15I told you.
11:16I told you she would never let me escape.
11:19Henry, whatever she's told you, it's all lies.
11:23Address me properly, miss.
11:24It's Crown Prince Henry.
11:26Okay, Crown Prince Henry!
11:29You cannot marry that two-faced witch!
11:32A ripple of murmurs went through the small crowd gathering around us.
11:36I need a moment alone with her.
11:39He led me forcefully into the stables away from everyone, and slammed the door behind us.
11:44You are the biggest liar I've ever met!
11:47All the time you whined about your perfect stepsister replacing you, when it was just a poor, abandoned girl that
11:53you and your family made your slave?
11:55I felt like he'd slapped me in the face.
11:58She didn't even dare tell me her name yesterday at the ball.
12:01She said she sneaked away because she wasn't allowed to exist freely, not even for a night.
12:07Then she ran away before I could even ask who she was.
12:10All I had was her slipper she left behind by accident.
12:13And then imagine, looking for her, and finding that you're the villain in her story!
12:17Henry, she's a manipulative psychopath.
12:21She stole my letters.
12:23She stole yours.
12:24I didn't even know you were sick, or losing your sight.
12:28Stop, Vine.
12:30It was your handwriting on the letter I got.
12:32Where you told me you couldn't be with me because of my illness.
12:35Where you said it would be better to end things before they really even began.
12:40I never wrote that letter.
12:42She faked it.
12:43I think she always knew about us, right from the start.
12:46Are you really so twisted that you think she plotted all this?
12:52So according to you, she intercepted our letters, forged your handwriting, and had been spying on us all along just
12:59to ruin things between us one day?
13:01I know it sounds crazy, but it's true.
13:04For a second, a shadow of doubt crossed his face, and I thought he might believe me.
13:11But then, his jaw tightened.
13:13No.
13:14You didn't want me.
13:16And now you just don't want her to have me either.
13:19My heart felt like it would explode.
13:22You met her last night.
13:23How can you marry someone you don't even know?
13:27As if time is a guarantee of anything.
13:30I knew you for much longer, but it turns out I didn't know you at all.
13:34She knows about my ailment, and she accepted me as I am.
13:39And even though I've lost most of my sight now, when I look at her, she glows like an angel.
13:45She's kind and beautiful and good.
13:47I know she will save me, and I will save her from you.
13:52As he started walking away, I felt something break inside me, like a monster being unleashed.
14:02Maybe it's a blessing you're going blind, Henry.
14:05I hope it happens faster, for your sake.
14:08It's better if you're spared from seeing the snake you're marrying, or the fool you've become.
14:14And I wouldn't have married you anyway.
14:16A blind fool is no prince, only a burden.
14:21Mind your tongue when speaking to your prince, and if you ever cross my path again, I will have you
14:29exiled.
14:30I walked out after him, and watched from a distance as he took Cinderella's hand, lifted her into the royal
14:37carriage, and rode away, taking every dream I'd ever dared to have with him.
14:45What was it that Henry had called me?
14:48Ah, yes.
14:50The villain in Cinderella's story.
14:53And that she would save him, and he would save her.
14:58From me.
15:00Yes.
15:01Her beauty was so bright, it even enchanted an almost blind man.
15:06It made everyone else look ugly.
15:09I calmly stepped over to the oil lamp, and knocked it over.
15:13Then, I stood back, and watched as the flames ran up the curtains, licked up the walls, ate up her
15:23belongings, gobbled up all her lies.
15:27The whole room blazed, and it felt good.
15:33The fire spread faster than I'd expected.
15:36The house was old, and the walls were bone dry.
15:40By the time the servants managed to put it out, half the estate was gone.
15:45Mother, heartbroken and sickly, packed up what little we had left, and moved in with some distant relatives.
15:52Anastasia went with her.
15:54And me?
15:55Well, I was declared unwell, hysterical, and quite dangerous.
16:02I was locked up in a sanatorium.
16:04Just a fancy word for a prison with prettier walls.
16:08Anastasia tried to visit me regularly the first few years, bringing me sweet treats and books.
16:14But over time, the visits got fewer.
16:17And eventually, they stopped altogether.
16:20And so, here I stayed.
16:23My name forgotten.
16:25Just one half of the ugly stepsisters duo.
16:29The real question is, did Cinderella get her famous happy ending?
16:35Honestly?
16:36I don't know.
16:37The crown prince had a relapse of his disease a few years later, and this time, he did not survive
16:43it.
16:44But I'm sure Cinderella wore black for a while and looked stunningly tragic.
16:49But I doubt she really mourned him.
16:51Because I don't think she was capable of loving anything.
16:55Or anyone.
16:56But who knows?
16:57Maybe she lived happily ever after anyway.
17:00Bedecked in jewels and finery.
17:02Admired and beloved by the people.
17:05And with a whole castle to scrub to sparkling perfection.
17:10Anyway, this is how my story ends.
17:12It's so depressing, isn't it?
17:16But don't worry.
17:17This version won't stick.
17:19Because no one really wants the truth.
17:22Not when the truth is ugly and the liar is beautiful.
17:30Hey, before you click away, can we talk?
17:33Like, really talk?
17:35You just spent time with me and my story.
17:38Not 30 seconds.
17:39Not a quick swipe.
17:40Actual time.
17:42And that's kind of rare now, isn't it?
17:44Look, I get it.
17:46TikTok is addictive.
17:47Those quick dopamine hits one after another.
17:50But here's the thing.
17:51Do you remember any of those videos from last week?
17:55Last month?
17:56They blur together, don't they?
17:58But a story?
17:59A real story sticks with you.
18:02It changes how you see things.
18:04Maybe after watching mine, you'll think differently about the villains in other stories.
18:09Maybe you'll question who's really telling the truth.
18:12That's what stories do.
18:14They don't just pass time.
18:15They change us.
18:17We're fighting to keep this alive.
18:20Every animation you see took weeks.
18:23Every character, every expression, every scene.
18:26Crafted by humans who believe stories matter.
18:30We could pump out three-minute clips with AI voices reading Reddit posts.
18:35We could chase trends.
18:36We'd probably get more views.
18:38But we don't.
18:40Because you deserve better.
18:42Here's the truth.
18:43Platforms push short-form content because it keeps you scrolling longer.
18:48But we're not trying to steal your time.
18:50We're trying to earn it.
18:53To give you something worth those minutes.
18:55So if this story made you feel something, anything, then please share it.
19:01Not for the algorithm.
19:02Not for us.
19:03But for everyone who's hungry for real stories and doesn't even know it yet.
19:08Send it to that friend who says,
19:10I wish movies were like they used to be.
19:13Drop it in the group chat where people actually discuss things.
19:17Because every share is a vote.
19:19A vote that says,
19:20Yes, storytelling matters.
19:23Yes, we still want narratives that challenge us, surprise us, make us think.
19:28The art of storytelling survived thousands of years.
19:31From cave paintings to campfires to Shakespeare to cinema.
19:36Don't let it die on our watch.
19:38Not for a five-second dance trend.
19:40Help us prove that in a world of infinite scroll,
19:44Some things are still worth stopping for.
19:48Share this story.
19:49Save storytelling.
19:50It sounds dramatic.
19:52Because it is.
