Stepsisters' Absolution


To secure a future befit to me,

I must land a prince with ample money,

In a world where beauty is all I have to recommend me

And neither apprentice or novice can I be,

In a man's world I must abide,

So Cinderella's beauty we must hide.

'Tis a cruel world to be plain,

but scheme I will, until the day I reign.
