"As expected of Ed, the desserts she makes are always so perfect."
Green took a box of pudding from Cinderella's plate without any hesitation and put it on his own table: "Desserts are her area of expertise. You must try it, Cinderella."
"Yes, these sweets look very appetizing, Your Highness."
"The food here is even better than what I ate back then."
Cinderella couldn't help but feel a little emotional when she thought of her life in the research institute.
I still remember that the guy who cooked back then was still the same guy.
Red dancing shoes.
She is the one with the personality most like an older sister among the second-generation fairy tale models, and she usually knows how to take care of Cinderella and the others. But who would have thought that Nikki, who is usually gentle to others, would end up being a complete traitor. She not only betrayed the human coalition, but also betrayed everyone around her, and even personally sent Cinderella on the road of erosion, causing Cinderella to fall into the abyss.
So much so that even now, when Cinderella recalls those times when she ate and drank, she can't help but feel a little resentful.
Even if the red shoes may not have tampered with the food, Cinderella will probably never drink any "relaxing black tea" again in her life.
"Was life so bad at the institute back then?"
Green glanced at Cinderella.
"No, it's not that bad actually. It's just that the food was made by someone I don't like. I hate the owner and hate his dog, I guess that's what it means."
Cinderella smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, I want to ask you a question. If one day, you find that a friend you have always respected and known has suddenly betrayed you, what will you do?"
“The word ‘friend’ is a two-way thing. Only when both parties consider each other as friends can they be called friends.”
Green smiled calmly and replied, "If one day, the person I know betrays me, it means that he never considered me a friend from the beginning. In that case, he naturally can't be considered a friend."
Cinderella felt much better after hearing what he said.
She couldn't help but think back to the time she spent with the Red Shoes. Thinking carefully, she realized that the Red Shoes had never considered them friends, but merely experimental subjects for her to realize her own heretical ideals.
Red Shoes, you are such a scary and paranoid guy.
But fortunately, you are completely dead, killed by my own hands with your disgusting dream.
The Red Shoes...
Cinderella looked at her beautiful face reflected in the tea, and she clearly saw her own red eyes.
Even after the erosion was removed, the eyes of the Nikki who had been eroded still showed a terrifying black-red color. This ugly color was like ugly evidence of a crime that could never be erased, reminding them at all times that they were killers who had betrayed humanity and their loved ones.
"Are you concerned about your eye color?"
Green also noticed Cinderella's eyes.
"Um, Your Highness? How did you find out?"
"You've been sitting still for a long time."
Green smiled.
Cinderella stared at the reflection of her own eyes in the tea for a long time. Anyone could see that she was somewhat concerned about the color of her eyes.
"um, yes."
"The color of these eyes is so ugly."
Cinderella closed her eyes and said with a somewhat helpless tone.
"is it?"
"But I think that ugliness is also a part of beauty."
Green shook his coffee cup and smiled. "Although I'm considered a perfect commander in the eyes of the public, I'm deeply aware of my many shortcomings. Looking back, I used to seem full of passion, but in reality, I was just empty talk and no action. I thought I could solve all the world's problems with just courage, but in the end, I always ran into a wall and got myself bruised and bloodied."
"But later, I accepted these shortcomings of mine, recognized the flaws in my character, and tried to slowly overcome them and accept them."
"It's just like what the saying goes."
“The most beautiful moment for a butterfly is when it emerges from its cocoon. The most important thing is always the process of striving towards a goal, the present moment, not the final result.”
"So, even if you have grudges, I hope you can calmly accept your past instead of rejecting it or running away from it."
Green extended his hand to Cinderella and encouraged her: "If those red pupils mean bad luck and disaster, then let us work together to change the way the world sees them."
"Turning an ominous sign into a beautiful symbol."
"Will you, Cinderella?"
"..."
Cinderella lowered her head and looked at his big hand that was stretched out to her.
Just yesterday, she still couldn't understand why every Nikki in the base was so convinced and even admired the commander in front of her. She thought he was just handsome, kind to his subordinates, and a sincere and friendly person.
But now, she was conquered by the unique charm he exuded.
A person who can speak such philosophical words, a person who can explain that not being beautiful can also be beautiful, these words seem to be tailor-made for her.
She pursed her lips and smiled slightly, then sincerely grasped Green's outstretched hand. "Your Highness, you're right. Imperfection is also a part of beauty. Just like my life, although it once had its stains, as long as I work hard to continue writing, I will definitely make it dazzling and moving again."
"Besides, how could I refuse His Royal Highness's invitation?"
“My answer is, I do.”

Chapter 380: On the external level: Savage Doro.
"..."
"Cough cough."
The atmosphere should have been good.
It was not until the Rabbi sitting next to her coughed that Cinderella realized that Rabbi was sitting opposite her.
"I'm so sorry to interrupt your lunch."
Cinderella smiled, retracted the flash of provocation in her eyes, and then concentrated on enjoying her lunch.
Rabbi held her spoon, glanced at Cinderella, and said nothing.
Although they had not been together for long, she had already roughly understood Cinderella's character.
But as Anis said, Cinderella is indeed a person who is a little difficult to get along with, because she is different from Nikki of Ark and is not bound by all kinds of rules and regulations. Because of this, she always seems to be very independent and is happy to put herself on an equal footing with Green.
An unrestrained strategic weapon... Even though she no longer fights for Letcher, she still gives people a sense of oppression.
This is also why the three members of the counterattack force seemed a little indifferent to her.
Everyone's here to compete, but you're the only one left standing, a stat-stuffing freak. How are the other Nikkis supposed to survive? If this continues, won't everyone just become a supporting role to Cinderella?
Rabhi was lost in thought.
Cinderella on the opposite side happily made another request to Green.
"Your Highness, my body has been adjusted by Gravi, and it is in very good condition now."
"Oh, really? Then how much do you think you are compared to your peak self?"
Green turned around and asked.
"Overall, it's still not as good as me at my peak. My body has been affected by the canceller, and my regeneration ability has been slightly weakened, but it's not a big deal."
Cinderella pursed her lips, smiled sweetly, and said confidently, "When we meet next time, I'm absolutely confident that I can destroy Behemoth directly."
"Destroy Behemoth..."
After hearing Cinderella's words, Green pondered for a moment, then said, "If possible, spare her life, Cinderella. Although being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself, Behemoth has the information I want."
"Just control the force a little, okay?"
"Haha, Your Highness would actually be interested in that kind of barbaric heretic?"
Cinderella curled her lips, then turned around and teased Green about his taste: "Behemoth, her clothes and taste are really terrible. She looks just like any female thug you see on the street."
"I don't think a small-time thug like this would know anything important."
"That's not necessarily the case."
"Things are different now, Cinderella. You've been asleep for a long time, and humans have been hiding underground for a long time. During this time, the Earth has undergone tremendous changes. We know very little about everything on the surface. If we act rashly, we might suffer great losses."
"So, I think capturing a heretic and asking him about it is the method with the least risk and the greatest reward right now."
Green tapped his knuckles lightly, reminding Cinderella of the current state of the world.
"Since Your Highness has said so, I will hold back a little."
"Just don't beat her to death, okay?"
"Yes, so I plan to let you be the trump card, and all the rest of us will go forward to wear down Behemoth's physical strength. If we can defeat her, that would be great. Even if we can't, you, as our backup, can easily deal with her."
Green nodded and explained, "That's my plan."
"No problem. I understand."
Cinderella also nodded.
Although she felt that there was no need to let Labi and the others take the field, she alone was enough to crush Behemoth into powder on the spot.
But, we have to give others some room to play, right?
Flowers always need green leaves to set them off.
And she was also happy to be the last to appear and show the power of strategic weapons in front of everyone.
Seeing Cinderella agreed, Green turned to look at Rabbi and gave her an encouraging look: "Rabbi, let's fight Behemoth again. I believe that this time, you will definitely win."
"Yes, Commander."
"As long as you are by my side, I will never lose!"
Rabbi nodded vigorously.
She knew that her commander's repeated warnings were all to protect her self-esteem.
She will not let this hard-earned opportunity go to waste.
"it is good."
"I believe in you, Rabbi, just as I always have."
"..."
"Speaking of which, Eden seems to have lost contact recently."
Green took out his phone and opened the group chat in Eden Garden, but no matter how he sent messages, there was no response from Dorothy and Cecil.
Maybe the signal is not good and cannot be received.
But there is also a high possibility that something went wrong inside the Garden of Eden.
"I think it's probably because of Nihilista."
Lapi's expression darkened slightly as she offered her guess: "Dorothy has been trying to extract intelligence from Nihilista, but Nihilista is, after all, a vanguard general under the Queen. I don't think she'll always comply."
"Ah."
"But let's not worry too much about what's going on over there for now. Eden's fighting power is not bad. Even if they mess things up, they can still escape if they want."
Green nodded.
Although Eden's troops were small in number.
But the advantage is that each Nikki is an elite created by borrowing the information of the members of the Goddess Army.
Moreover, they have a big advantage over Nikki from Ark, that is, they can fly.
Nikki, who had seized air supremacy, was like a bomber, leaving no grass behind wherever she went.
This is also the reason why Nihilista attacked the Garden of Eden for so long and was only engaged in harassment and guerrilla warfare. After all, if Dorothy was angered, she would really fly up and kick her.
Never underestimate Miss Doro's savage form.
Back then, it was because Dorothy's powerful kick broke the thread of Cinderella's shield that Little Red Riding Hood had the opportunity to break through her defense and pin Cinderella against the wall and hit her in the stomach.
So putting Lily Weiss aside, if we want to choose the strongest person from the goddess army, we must first exclude Snow White and Rapunzel, and secondly remove Little Red Riding Hood who is no longer alive. Then the only ones left are Crimson Lotus and Dorothy.
But Honglian once mentioned to Green that Dorothy was definitely not as mediocre as she appeared.
Miss Doro just doesn't want to look embarrassed in front of others, but as long as she throws away her ladylike reserve and gets ruthless, she will definitely be the most terrifying opponent in the goddess army.
