I cried out in a hurry, âWhere are you going? Leave her alone today! Father has already been there once.â
Instead of stopping, Villain put his hands in his pockets and was about to leave.
I limped ran down the stairs and grabbed Villainâs arm.
Villainâs green eyes, looking back at me, seemed on fire.
He raised his arm as if he wanted to slap my cheek now.
âDo you really want to hit me?â
I shouted into his face, âShe might die! Whatâs more, if youâre going to hit her too, sheâs really going to die!â
It wasnât an exaggeration. She would really die if she was beaten more often.
I did not miss that time and quickly took out an earring from my ear.
It was an emerald earring that matched my eyes.
âTake this. It will be a monthâs worth of alcohol.â
Villain stared at me for a moment with an astonishment look and take the earring.
He staggered and turned his steps toward his room.
I took a deep breath looking at his back. When I talked to him, I ran out of breath.
So instead of going up to my room at the top of the mansion, I headed to the nearby room.
It seems like thereâs no one there anyway.
The room was warm because the maids I had just seen seemed to have just put wood in the fireplace.
âI mean, even if the whole house is in a riot, they are still able to set a fire in an empty room.â
I smiled bitterly and sat close to the fireplace.
Money is always there whenever they need it. This premise is what makes them spend money like water.
A father who does not admit that he is not talented in the business.
Even so, if he went straight down to the basement, there was always money. It never occurred to him to save money by reducing the number of employees.
âThanks to that, my jewels became more and more.â
I remembered Marciaâs memory of all kinds of jewelry and trinkets placed in the dressing room.
These are the things Marcia has accumulated over the years for her extravagance.
If I use it sparingly, there will be no obstacles for roughly one person to eat and live.
But what about two people?
âI should save a lot.â
I muttered inside, rummaging the fireplace with a skewer.
I decided to take Larissa and run away together.
I canât let a thirteen-year-old kid get beaten anymore.
âIsnât this crazy? How do you treat a little child like thatâŠâŠâ
As I read the fairy tale to my niece, I always thought of this:
âIf you just need her tears, do you have to beat her?â
There are many ways to shed tears.
Tears are shed when you are distressed and sad, tears can also come out if you laugh out loud. Even if you yawn, tears come out too. You can go to the kitchen and chop the onions together.
âOr maybe you can tell a story that is touching enough to cry.â
I thought that way, but because it was a fairy tale, I went over it without thinking deeply.
âBack then, I didnât even dream that it would be the situation I was facing.â
If I had been in this world earlier, I would have somehow saved Larissa before she was trapped in the basement. But itâs too late now.
âWhen I take her out, I should see the doctor right away.â
Is there a psychiatrist here too?
To heal the wound in her heart, it wouldnât take a year or two.
Considering the cost of the treatmentâŠâŠ.it seems difficult with just the jewelry I have now.
Larissa is a walking diamond mine, but I donât want to lean on her.
âLetâs grow up together and donât starve!â
The appearance of a little girl covered in blood kept coming to my eyes.
No matter what, I wonât force you to shed tears.
âAh, but if we run away together, wonât Larissa be able to meet the prince who saved her?â
After three more years, the prince who accidentally passes by will fall in love with her at first sight and save her.
If it were me, I would have chosen to run away immediately, but would that be the best for Larissa?
Wouldnât you like to choose to marry the prince and take revenge on the family that tortured you after being beaten for several years?
When I think of it, my body trembled.
âHowâŠâŠhow the fairy tale ends?â
The family that tortured her was executed.
I held my head with both hands.
At that moment, an idea came up.
âWait, can I go find the prince myself?â
Yes, Larissa gets married after 3 years anyway, can she meet him earlier?
She just has to meet in advance so that she can get engaged first.
âThere is no problem with the original story. As soon as the prince sees her, he will fall in love at a glance.â
The ending is the two married and lived happily, so the prince will surely take care of Larissa.
I really liked this plan.
No matter how much Larissa hates me, I took her out of this mansion, and Iâm sure she wonât let the prince execute me.
I get up from my seat with a satisfying smile.
There were a few things to check before implementing the plan.
I banged my head on the desk.
Thanks to that, the royal family tree and the noblesâ directory that I read a while ago were a mess.
âNo, this world is a fairy tale but there is no prince, where is he?â
Shockingly, there was no prince in this kingdom.
To be precise, the unmarried young prince.
I tapped the book with my finger sadly.
Strictly speaking, there was one prince.
But he was over thirty and already married. He even had a child with his mistress.
That kind of person canât be the prince of fairy tales.
And the princeâs son was only two years old.
He was too young to be the prince Larissa was destined for.
âHow could Marcia not even know this?â
I blamed Marciaâs memory for nothing.
In fact, it doesnât mean she doesnât understand.
Far from studying normally, she didnât even read books.
In addition, the Blick family only dealt with nobles without titles.
She wasnât even invited to a party hosted by a high-ranking noble above the Count.
It means that the royal family and the high-ranking nobles did not even think about recognizing the Blick family because they never met each other.
Dazzling blonde, alluring green eyes, and pretty face. That was all Marcia had.
She is rumored to be a girl with an empty head and a bad personality.
Without the prince from the fairy tale, there is nowhere to go even if I take Larissa and run away safely.
I lie my head down on the book and bite my lip tightly.
At that time, there was a letter that caught my eye.
I lifted my head and read through the part I just saw.
It was the Prince- no, the Grand Duke of Laurent.
The words here were the same when referring to the title of the Grand Duke and the Prince.
It seems a bit suitable. But if heâs a grand duke, he deserves to be called the male lead of the fairy tale, the prince.
There was just one grand duchy in this country.
I checked the end of the family tree of the Laurent.
And I found hope at the end of a branch that stretched out quite intricately.
The last name written in the family tree is Fabian Laurent, 21 years old.
It was definitely a manâs name and he was unmarried.
âHe is 8 years older than Larissa, but this age difference is quite common in this world.â
Looking up one space, it seems that his parents had already passed away a long time ago.
Then he must have become a grand duke at a pretty young age.
âThis is Fabian Laurent.â
Laurentâs family tree was written over several pages, and at the top was the crest of the family.
âHuhâŠâŠ? I think I saw it somewhere.â
I frowned and looked closely.
It was a very unique crest with a red and white colored shield wrapped around a thorny vine, and two swords crossed behind it.
âWhere did I see this?â
Marcia couldnât have seen it in the social world.
I chewed my lips and searched my memories eagerly.
It was the last page of the original fairy tale.
They lived happily ever after.
A magnificent wedding was drawn with such a sentence.
A number of guests were seen behind the bride and groom who smiled brightly, and the castle was drawn in a blur at the back.
The little flag was hung on the top of the castle, and that was this coat of arms drawn there.
âThe original fairy tale is a picture book. The hint wasnât just in text!â
