Cinderella Boy Chapter 10: A Wish for Mom
Cinderella Boy Chapter 10 begins with Chase accompanying Deacon on a visit to Deacon’s parents. The mood is tense when they get there. Deacon’s mom and dad immediately scold Chase, telling him to stop wasting his time singing and focus on finding a “real” job. They equally pressure Deacon to keep studying hard to get into a medical school. To get out of the situation, their grandfather sends Chase upstairs. However, on his way out, he overhears his aunt and uncle telling Grandpa that if Chase can’t afford college, he needs to start looking for work.
Upstairs, he visits his own sickly mother, lying in bed. His real name is Charlie, but he insists on being called Chase as it sounds more like a pop star. He knows how Uncle and Aunt help his mother with her cancer treatment expenses. But he still feels sad hearing all the taunts he faces from them.
Chase swallows his pride and, with a bright smile, tells her that he will buy her a house, a new car, and a pool, everything she deserves when he becomes a huge pop star. He carefully gives her the medication before stepping out. Later, Chase visits his father’s grave. He sits at the headstone and mutters about his mother’s declining health and things getting tougher for him. Chase admits his wish is to cure his mom’s illness. With tears in his eyes, he says with a determined voice that he will surely take care of it. Cinderella Boy Chapter 10 ends with Chase staring at the grave, determination building beneath his grief.

Cinderella Boy Chapter 11: Stories and Secrets
Cinderella Boy Chapter 11 begins with Silver quietly watching Chase as he sits alone, weighed down by everything. When she sees him so sad, she tells him not to give up. She will help him in any way possible. Chase straightens up and confidently replies that he never gives up on something he truly wants.
Trying to cheer up the atmosphere, Chase begins to share about his idol, Alastair, the vocalist of his favorite band. He even confesses that he has the face of Alastair on his pillow, blushing as he says this. Later, tired of being forced to help his grandfather sell popsicles, Chase quickly comes up with an excuse, claiming he has to escort little Prunella home. His grandfather reluctantly lets him go.
When Chase is walking Prunella home, he asks in a casual manner whether she happens to own any old-fashioned fairy tale books. Prunella gives a dramatic sigh and reminds him about her house. He silently nods, agreeing. After all, her house is dazzling, decorated like some Easter fantasy, with fairy-tale magic and pastel shades. Her overly enthusiastic mother rushes out, greeting them. And fussing over Chase like he’s some long-lost prince.
Chase attempts to change the topic to books, but Prunella’s mom keeps stuffing him with treats and chatter. But then Prunella’s mom confesses that she does have a set of old storybooks after all, setting a spark of hope in the eyes of Chase. Cinderella Boy Chapter 11 ends with Chase sitting at Prunella’s table, half-buried in cookies, smiling faintly as he finally gets closer to his next story.

Cinderella Boy Chapter 12: The Princess and the Pupil
Cinderella Boy Chapter 12 begins with Chase flipping through the stack of books Prunella’s mom gave him. They are not really fairy tales; they are short, funny stories. He lazily skims the summaries while Silver hovers nearby, smiling knowingly. Then suddenly, Silver grins pleasantly and says she has a little something for his help. In a flash, she transforms into a key. Chase blinks, confused, but intrigued, and inserts the key into one of the books.
The title reads: The Princess and the Pupil. In the blink of an eye, Chase finds himself in the middle of the story, wearing an elaborate costume that leaves him stunned. Looking in the mirror, he feels like a superstar stepping on a stage, and for a moment, he enjoys the glamour.
It does not take him long to notice that he is the royal tutor, and this is where he is supposed to teach the princess. However, when he takes a closer look at his reflection, he sees something strange: his face and appearance seem to belong to the royal family more than the actual princess in the story’s portrait.
A Lesson in Jealousy
Determined to play his part, Chase leaves to meet the princess, but he freezes when he sees her. It’s the black-haired boy again, now appearing as the beautiful princess, “Lovely Marigold.” Chase begins the lesson, growing excited and even bursting into song. Everyone is impressed in the room… except Marigold, who is merely watching with a scowling face. (Of Course!)
Chase scoffs and teases the other guy to be jealous of him. However, with a sly smirk, the black-haired boy — as Lovely Marigold — cuts him off. He declares he will skip the singing lesson and move straight to partnered dancing. Cinderella Boy Chapter 12 ends with Chase narrowing his eyes, realizing this will be anything but easy.
Cinderella Boy Chapter 13: The Dance of Rivals
Cinderella Boy Chapter 13 begins with Chase gaping at the black-haired boy’s bold request. To join him in a partnered dance. Chase shouts a loud refusal, but the black haired boy only smirks knowingly. Left with no other option, Chase unwillingly accepts it. But he reveals that he has no idea how to lead. The black-haired boy snickers and quips, “Then I’m the tutor here.” With that, they begin dancing, graceful yet tense, like a battle disguised as a waltz.
As they move across the floor, they exchange sharp words about their last story. They both admit that they got off the original narrative line in the previous story. But the black haired boy only asks to be civil for now. Chase warns him to take care of Violet, since Violet is Silver’s sister. Instead, the boy just clicks his tongue and mocks Chase and his vague plan, stating he will find Chase’s real key before Chase figures anything out.
However, it is not long before their fragile civility is broken when the boy throws another cutting comment. And the two begin arguing during the dance, which in a moment turns into a full-fledged fight. As they clash, a sudden burst of light engulfs them, and Chase wakes up back in the real world.
Chase mumbles an apology to Silver for skipping over the reading and letting Buddy make everything worse. But Silver simply comforts him. She says with confidence that they will find a way to succeed– together. Cinderella Boy Chapter 13 ends with Chase gripping his key tighter, determination flickering back to life.

Cinderella Boy Chapter 14: The Key at the Fair
Cinderella Boy Chapter 14 begins with the town fair bustling to life, full of color and chatter. Chase and Deacon sit on a bench, hoping that their grandfather does not make a scene and get them thrown out the door, again like last year. As they observe the crowd, Silver, sitting on the shoulder of Chase, curiously questions him about a weird-looking truck that is around. Chase does not want Deacon to think that he is talking to thin air, so he excuses himself quickly.
Away from the presence of Deacon, he and Silver share some snacks, and Silver confesses in a low tone that the Order never gave the keys too much freedom. Their powers are limited by design. As they stroll through the fair, Silver resting lightly on his shoulder, Chase sees something unusual on one of the tables, a shiny key.
A Price Too Late
Silver’s eyes go glassy with tears as she stares at it. Before Chase can grab it, a gruff man at the table stops him and offers to sell it to him for twenty bucks. Chase panics and rushes back to find Deacon and demand the money he owes him. But Deacon is nowhere to be found. With no time to waste, Chase rushes to his grandfather and lies to him that he needs the money for his mom. Though he feels guilty for lying, his grandfather hands it over.
Breathless, Chase races back to the table, clutching the cash, only to find the key is gone. The man merely shrugs and tells him that he has already sold it to another person. Chase stands motionless, confused and disheartened, looking around the crowd to find out who could have bought it. Cinderella Boy Chapter 14 ends with Chase clutching the useless bills, silently vowing to find that key no matter what.
Cinderella Boy Chapter 15: Bronze Awakens
Cinderella Boy Chapter 15 begins with a fierce storm at sea. A ship is tossing wildly as its captain struggles bravely to save a princess from getting caught by the pirates. Deacon suddenly jolts awake, gasping. It was nothing more than just a dream. (Or was it?) He wakes up realizing that he had dozed off over a book. Meanwhile, Chase is in the kitchen, cleaning the brown key he had found earlier. As he polishes it, he mutters an apology to Silver for failing to buy the other key at the fair. Silver comforts him, sharing a guess that the key must be close.
Chase notices a symbol of an apple engraved on the key as the dirt comes off. Silver’s eyes widen. It is her brother, Bronze, the Helper Key. She tells Chase to take off the key ring. When he does, a small, tiny man appears in front of them. Bronze and Silver embrace happily, reunited at last.
Silver brings up Chase as their present partner, sharing just how very kind he is. Chase beams and brags, “Well, I do have the looks, talent, and brains.” Bronze simply looks at him suspiciously and is obviously not impressed. Chase laughs – until he notices another presence in the room. He sees Deacon standing scared at the door, staring at the little figures in complete shock.
Before Chase can react, Deacon bolts, shouting for their grandfather. Chase runs after him, and they both fall down the stairs in a heap. Cinderella Boy Chapter 15 ends with Chase pinning Deacon to the floor, clamping his hand over his mouth, desperate to keep his secret safe.
Cinderella Boy Chapter 16: A Deal Between Brothers
Cinderella Boy Chapter 16 begins with Chase cornered, finally spilling everything about the keys and the Novel worlds to Deacon. At first, Deacon is furious, calling him crazy and refusing to even remotely believe any of it. But Chase claims otherwise, confidently saying he can prove it. He asks Silver and Bronze for help. Silver agrees. She adds that when Deacon joins them in the stories, they will end up getting twice the amount of Narratonin. She requests that Bronze temporarily become Deacon’s key. In a flash of light, Bronze is transformed. Deacon can only gasp, stunned.
Just when he is about to protest, Chase pulls him into the story world. Deacon is amazed inside; the magical characters and scenery leave him entirely speechless. Chase tells his mission: he has to collect as much Narratonin as possible and use it to make a wish to heal his mom. He asks for Deacon’s help, promising it’ll be worth it. Once they get back to the real world, Deacon, who is still in shock, finally agrees to help him.
Twelve Keys to a Wish
But, Bronze breaks their moment and reminds them that the keys have their mission as well, to reunite with the rest of their family. Silver sadly states that to fulfill the wish ritual, Chase will have to collect not only the required amount of Narratonin but also all 12 keys.
Chase appears to be crushed for a moment, but then his resolution flares. He clenches his fists and declares he will find all twelve keys. And he already has the third one in mind, where he knows it is with Buddy. Cinderella Boy Chapter 16 ends with Chase smirking grimly and muttering about a very big problem in their hand named “Buddy”.
Cinderella Boy Chapter 17:Names and Shadows
Cinderella Boy Chapter 17 begins with Chase and Deacon browsing through stacks of books, quietly discussing Buddy. Deacon warns Chase to be more careful, not just of Buddy but also the Order-Ex Libris, who are also dangerous and mysterious. But then, Chase reveals how he once revealed his catchphrase with his name to Buddy. Deacon freezes, his anger rising. He scolds Chase for carelessly using the name in public. Chase attempts to dismiss it, saying that it is not even his real name, just something he uses on social media. However, Deacon grimly reminds Chase to delete everything from social media to be safe.
In the meantime, under the bed, Silver shows Bronze a tiny house Chase secretly built for her, with furniture and other cozy things. Bronze smiles faintly, happy for her, but he shares that he is not comfortable with the fact that humans always want more wishes. Silver defends Chase, saying he is different, and cheers for his dream.
Suddenly, Chase bursts back into the room with an armful of books, making an attempt to behave normally. However, Deacon does not give it up, demanding that Chase erase his social profiles right away. Chase groans and reluctantly does so, feeling a pang of sadness as he watches his pages vanish. Later, as Deacon sits with Bronze, he finally voices his own realization: in these stories, he will always be the sidekick to Chase’s heroine role. And that is not nearly as much fun as he had thought it would be. Cinderella Boy Chapter 17 ends with Deacon staring at the floor, his expression a mix of resignation and quiet resolve.
Cinderella Boy Chapter 18:The Princess and the Cats
Cinderella Boy Chapter 18 begins with their grandfather announcing he is off to the dentist and running errands, leaving the boys to their own devices.
While he is away, Deacon quietly plans their next dive into the story world. He gives Chase a novel titled Maelstrom, a classic sea fantasy. But Chase groans and flatly declines. He suffers from seasickness at the very mention of boats and pirates. Deacon sighs and suggests an alternative: a lighthearted story of The Princess and Her Pets. Chase finally gives in excitedly and asks Silver to assist them with costumes this time.
Once they get to the story world, however, both the boys freeze in quiet horror. They have been transformed into cats. Elegant, fluffy cats, but still… cats. On all fours, crawling around, Chase glares at Deacon and is furious at his awful choice of story. Deacon just shrugs awkwardly as they pad through the castle, tails flicking. They finally get to the great hall where the princess is holding court. The Duke of Whitenhall and some other lords arrive after them. Just as the two try to blend in, the villain appears — and their jaws drop. (Yet Again…)
Here, also, is Buddy, masquerading as the sleek black cat of the Duke, and with his golden eyes twinkling with mischief. Buddy is here too, disguised as the Duke’s sleek black cat, his predator-like eyes gleaming with mischief. Chase feels his frustration bubbling as he realizes Buddy has, once again, inserted himself perfectly into the story–leaving Chase and Deacon scrambling to keep up.
