Ending: Cinders finally manages to drastically change her life and re-takes her residence from Lady Carmosa. She starts a new era for herself and her family. After the events of the Grand Ball, Carmosa recognizes Cinders as her best successor and steps down from being the head of the family. For years, Cinders can count on her support and advice. Lady Carmosa dies at an old age, happy to see her family finally prosper.

Using fame she gained during the Grand Ball, Cinders turns her noble house into a meeting place for artists and scholars, an important spot on the cultural map of the Kingdom. She uses her wealth and knowledge to support art and inventions, and will always be remembered as a great patron of cultural progress.

As the time passes, Cinders manages to build mutual understanding with her stepsisters, and they become friends. Sophia and Gloria both help her running the house, and are always there to support her or give their advice. While the relationship between the two sisters remains complicated, they are able to burrow their hostility in pursuit of common goals and normal life.

The Prince is a frequent visitor in the house of Cinders, and everyone in the kingdom know they are lovers. Cinders refuses to become the Queen though. Eventually, the Prince is forced to marry a noble girl to secure his succession and ends his relationship with Cinders. She is heart-broken and lives the rest of her life alone.
