The King needs an heir and that means finding some sort of woman to do the job.
"That's all it's about, ultimately: basic, carnal compatibility in order to satisfy this need. For that reason, the pictures I request of those who wish to apply are explicit. The full prerequisites are attached to the correspondence. If you aren't comfortable with these demands, don't bother applying."
Ella applies, seeing straight through the bullshit; she goes as far as to derisively add a set of pictures fitting the requirements the letter demands:
A picture of her "pussy" - a fat, indolent Persian - and of her in her nightwear - yoga pants and a hoodie.
In lieu of an introduction, her message reads:
« Dear Daniel Franko Phillipe Del Luz,
I've applied to guarantee that I'm not summoned to your little orgy.
Fuck you. We aren't all stupid.
Ella. »
It was supposed to go through an automated system;
She didn't expect anyone to read it...
Let alone the King.

This novel is intended for a mature audience.
Cinderella, like every other novel in the Not Quite the Fairy Tale series is a standalone.
While you can read any of them separately, it's best to start with this one, to understand the world I will throw you into.

There is a few reviews pointing out that Cinderella is a "short story." As the term is controversial, here is some clarification: this book is over thirty thousand words (32000+ without including the preview of a little siren at the end.) As "novels" start at 40000 words, it's a longer novella. Short stories are generally under ten thousand words so that's definitely not the case here. You can expect two to three hours of fun depending on your reading speed.
Its length is determined by the length of the paperback so no formatting in the ebook is designed to "inflate" the word count at all.
If you prefer longer books, you may enjoy a Little Siren and Beauty and the Beast - or get the "Not quite the fairy tale" bundle including four fairy tales! They are all interlinked so it's a massive story :)
In any case, you'll enjoy the ride.
