Once the time of mourning had past, a proclamation was sent out. . .

"HERERY, HERERY,HERERY . . ." the royal announcer from Barkingburg called out as he cleared his throat ". . .Know that our new queen here by declares!, that who ever fit's the glass shoe, that was found at the palace during the night of the ball, she will forth with. . . marry him!" The announcer said as he finished his last sentence, as the crowed all cheered.

Ryder knew, that he had the other glass shoe, so without hesitation, he rode back home as fast as possible, and quickly ran upstairs to the attic, as he closed the door behind him, he bent down, and removed the two wooded planks from the floor, only to find the glass shoe was not in the box, Ryder was so confused, until he heard someone spoke. . .

"Are you looking for this?" The voice said 

Ryder looked up, and saw that it was Humdinger who stood at the dark part of the attic, with his glass shoe in his hand. . .

"Must be quite a story to go with it" Humdinger said as he admire the glass shoe in the darkness "Won't you tell me?" Humdinger asked Ryder

Ryder just stood in shock, without saying a word. . .

"No?, alright then, I shall tell you a story. . ." Humdinger said "Once upon a time, there was a handsome young man, who married beloved, and since he couldn't have children of his own, his brother along with his wife fell ill, and passed away, so he adopted both of his brother two son's, and raised them as his own, even if they were his nephews, all was well. . ." Humdinger first started off as he had an smirk on his face "But one day his wife, the light of his life, died" Humdinger said as his smirk, faded into a strict face "The next time, He married for the sake of his two nephews, but that woman too, was taken from him, and he was doomed to look, everyday upon his beloved children. . ." 

Ryder was still standing there in shock, as Humdinger counited. . .

"He had hope to marry off one of his handsome, stupid, nephews, to the princess. . ." Humdinger stated " But her head was turned, by a boy with glass shoes. . .and so I live unhappily ever after. . . nice story would it appear to be ended?" Humdinger asked Ryder as he looked at him strictly "Now. . .tell me yours. . . Did you steal it!?" Humdinger finished off as he strictly asked Ryder 

Ryder shock his head no, and answered "No. . . It was given to me" He said 

"Given to you, nothing is ever given, for everything you must pay, pay!" Humdinger answered strictly to him

"that's not true" Ryder answered "Kindness is free, love is free"

"Love is not free" Humdinger said as he starting to walking towards him "Now...here is how you will pay me, if you were to have what you desire, no one will believe you, a dirty servant boy without a family, if you lay claim to the princess heart, but with a respectable gentlemen don't you forward you will not be ignored. . . When you are married you will make me the head of the royal household, Harold and Fin we will pair off with wealthy Lords and I shall manage that girl." Humdinger told him as he slowly walked towards him             

"She's not a girl" Ryder said in responds 

"and who are you. . .how would you rule a kingdom?. . .that's to leave it to me, that way we get what we all want" Humdinger said as he walked towards the door, with the glass shoe in his hands 

Ryder already knew what he was going to say, he turned to look a Humdinger and answered. . .

"No" he said 

Humdinger stopped dead in his track, as he slowly turned and looked at Ryder. . .

"no?" Humdinger questioned to him 

"I was not able to protect my mother from you, but I will protect the princess and the kingdom, no matter what becomes of me" Ryder responded      

"Well, that is a mistake" Humdinger said as he swiftly smashed the glass shoe against the hard cold wall, as it broke into a million pieces

"NO!" Ryder yelped in shocked "Why. . .why are you so curl?!" Ryder asked in a sorrow voice "I don't understand it, I've tried to be kind to you!" Ryder explained with sorrow 

"You? kind to me?" Humdinger scolded 

"Yes!" Ryder said back "and no one deserves to be treated, as you have treated me" Ryder said as he stood up for himself "Why do you do it?, Why!" Ryder asked, as he shouted the last word of his sentence 

"Why?" Humdinger started "Because, you are young and innocent and good!" Humdinger started off "And I!..." Humdinger couldn't finish his last sentence, Humdinger just swiftly opened the door, and quickly locked the door from the outside, as Ryder rushed towards the door. . .

"No!, No!" Ryder yelped as he tried to open the door. . .

but It was to late, he was locked inside the attic.
