Ending: Cinders’ desperate attempts at winning her freedom backfired at her cruelly. Instead of breaking free from her Stepmother’s rule, she ended up in the Royal Dungeon. Broken with guilt and sense of failure, she quickly fell on health and passed away in her cell. She was buried next to her Mother in the old Cemetery in the forest. Her grave is mostly forgotten. Only Captain Perrault sneaks out sometimes to tend to it. He wonders what made this curious girl that had such an impact on his life resort to such drastic measures. And should he feel guilty for being the one who arrested her…
