Cinderella Monogatari Episode 20 - TRAVELLING TOWARD HAPPINESS

Episode Summary:

Cinderella's stepmother snatches out of the hapless girl's hands a letter from her father in which he writes that he has found a good man for Catherine, since it is now high time for his oldest daughter to be married. He has already talked to the parents of Merville, the young man in question, who is very well connected. In fact, he grew up with Zaral's daughter, Isabel. Cinderella's stepmother will do anything to make sure that Catherine can still vie for prince Charles' affection and, consequently, she announces the engagement of Merville to Cinderella, plunging the astonished girl into deep despair. Cinderella has no choice, but to attend the party that has been organized to celebrate the event. When Charles shows up at the party under false pretences, he and Cinderella realize that, in reality, Merville and Isabel are in love and so arrange for this union to be heralded during the engagement announcement. Cinderella's stepmother is struck dumb, unable to do anything to change the course of events that see Isabel elope with Merville, finally freeing herself from the clutches of her evil father, Duke Zaral.
