The Invitation to the Ball (episode 24)

The King and Queen are pleased with Prince Charles' actions in thwarting Duke Zarel. Deeming him ready for the throne, they host a ball with the aim of him finding a suitable partner. Cinderella is among the guests, alongside her stepsisters and stepmother. Despite being occupied with their attire, she manages to don her late mother's beloved dress for the event. However, upon her arrival, her stepsisters and stepmother mock her outdated dress and unfashionable hair, leading them to rip her invitation and scorn her presence. Devastated after yearning to reunite with Charles and wish him well in his royal duties, Cinderella is heartbroken. Paulette, her Fairy Godmother, transforms her appearance, outfits her elegantly, and arranges for her to attend the ball in a magical carriage accompanied by her animal companions acting as footmen. At the ball, Cinderella shares a dance with Prince Charles, who remains oblivious to her true identity. Hastily departing at midnight, she leaves behind her glass slipper.
