Saving Cinderella (Cinderella Phenomenon x Reader Fanfic)

Conversation with Rod

A/N: Ahh I haven't posted in months! So sorry about that, but I'm determined to finish this book eventually :'). Also if you want to see what I imagine Y/N as that's the picture up there ;) Of course, you can imagine her looking like something else.

The rest of the morning goes smoothly, but still, it's like Lucette never existed. But I know she did. All these memories I've made with her and had of her, are for sure real.

After all, it's not like I can bond with someone so much, and then have it turn out to be all a dream.

I sigh quietly to myself and then set my utensils down. The sound of its clank interrupts my mother and father's light conversation.

"Father, mother, I am done with my food. Please excuse me." I say, curving my lips up and pretending to smile. However, how can you smile when your own sibling is considered as someone who never existed?

With a smile and a nod of her head, Ophelia replies back to me."Of course, Y/n-dear." Father also nods, giving me a sign of approval. Emelaigne gives me a quick wave while Rod just gives me a look like always.

I push in my chair and slowly make my way out of the dining hall. I'm sure I feel everyone's stares on my back. I know they must be confused about why I'm the only one who remembers someone they don't, but I swear I'll make them remember.

I pay attention to the sound of my footsteps against the palace floors, and then I hear another pair right behind me, giving a shock of startlement throughout my body. That's weird, I'm sure no one followed me out of the dining room.

And then, I hear my step-brother's voice, well more like Sebby's, his doll. 

"...Wait, Y/n." He says, and I quickly come to a halt and turn around.

"Rod? What's wrong? Do you need anything?" Rod is the kind of person who only speaks to me when Emelaigne is around. I don't remember the last time he called me out to speak one on one with him. For some reason, I feel a bit excited now. What does he want to say?

My step-brother closes his eyes and sighs before opening them.

"Rod?" I ask again, not prepared for the sudden news that he would bring.

"You're not the only one who remembers Lucette, Y/n." He says, staring into my eyes as I process the information.

My face probably shows that I'm feeling aghasted. After all, out of all people, Rod is the only one alongside with me that remembers Lucette.

"Y-You do?"  I excitingly ask him, getting closer to him accidentally. "Then...who is she and what is her relation to us?" I need to make sure Rod really remembers who she is, and not just a fragment.

Rod is about to speak, but then realizes the distance between us and backs up a bit. Oops, I guess I got too close. Then he starts talking. "Her full name is Lucette Riella Britton, and her nickname is the "Ice Princess". Her relation is that she is my step-sister and your biological sister. Her personality and presence are despicable, as she has no remorse for those around her. For some reason, it seems as she is forgotten, and only we remember her." 

I'm happy that my brother is able to remember Lucette, but it really is true that he hates her, a lot. Lucette and Rod have never gotten along together, and I'm sure she despises him just as much, but Emelaigne the most.

I nod my head and smile at him. 

"That's great that you remember, but not so great that we're the only ones. What should we do?" 

"...Her presence has only affected us negatively. Perhaps not finding her is for the better." Rod says, brows furrowed. 

I frown and quickly shake my head. "Please, Rod. We need to find her. Lucette's my sister, even if she might hate me." I plead with my eyes, as I stare into his. 

He stares back, and for a minute I think we might just stay like this until Rod quickly blinks and looks at me. 

"Fine. I'll help you, Y/n." 

I beam and hug him, showing my gratitude. 

"Thank you so much, Rod! I swear, I promise I'll make you see that Lucette isn't bad like she seems!" 

Rod looks at me before quickly coughing and pulling back. 

"I'm sure that'll won't happen, but in the meantime, let's see if there are any clues at the town." He quickly says, turning his back to me and walking off in the direction where the townsfolk are. I quickly follow, smiling as I think of finding Lucette.

"You were blushing." I hear a different voice from Rod's in front of me. It's higher pitch than his. That must be Sebby if I'm correct. Wait, blushing? Rod, my brother who rarely smiles? Ah, whatever, I'll just ask him about it later. Right now, our mission is to find out what happened to Lucette. 

As I focus on my thoughts and trail a bit behind Rod, I swore I heard him saying "Shut up." Wow, I really should ask about what happened after we find Lucette.
