Born as the Daughter of the Wicked Woman Chapter 5

Look at this. What is this?

its over.

When I was about to give up everything with a hunch they had caught , I suddenly heard the noise of soone sitting on the sofa with a thud.

Theres a beauty on it.

Oh my, really.

Behind the sly directors voice, Ulinees coy voice which was different, from before followed.

What kind of trick is this?

We dont even have much ti together, so take a guess.

Are you sensible because I asked you not to show off in front of the seniors in case we might get caught?

Yes, Im disappointed, to be honest.

And I imdiately heard strange noises. I breathed out a slight breath at the loud sounds of tossing and turning.

Oh, my god You two were like this?

I think the director is already well over his 40s. As far as I know, Ulinee was only in her early twenties.

No wonder you said you just got into this place so suddenly. You ca in because you had soone to look after you.

Since its a nursery, thats responsible for the imperial family, no one could effortlessly co in here because the staff here are no less than the civil servant.

But still, Im glad. I did not get caught.

But what if the two of them do sothing here?

I have to get out of here quickly

I could not see the timing to fall into a sound I did not want to express. I was going to hug myself a little more, but I didnt think the legs I could see before I disappeared.

Its a problem if that leg accidentally cos under the sofa.

When the legs co in, you will notice and then I will

Ugh,

I instinctively thought of the violence that would pour into if I got caught and quickly erased the terrible thoughts. Its better not to have any negative thoughts.

I hate it here, its cold, its too dark, and its a workplace, right?

When did you argue about that?

At least I want to go to a warm room with a bed! Its too cold in here! So lets go ho.

You said you didnt want to talk about work at ho.

The director sighed as if he couldnt help it at the irritating voice of Ulinee.

Okay, lets go ho.

Luckily, as Ulinees voice grew louder, I heard the director moving his body as if he had lost. Soon after, Ulinee got up from the sofa, and both of them smiled and left the room.

I didnt move until the sound of Ulinees footsteps couldnt be heard in the quiet night. After a long ti, I forcibly moved my less trembling body and slowly got out of the sofa. Then I walked straight to the window.

Haha. Im sure they didnt find out, right?

When I looked over at the window, I could see the two people walking towards the nurserys main gate. I thought I had to get out of this room quickly as soon as I saw their backs slipping out of the gate.

I thought I got caught.

When I feel relaxed and relieved, I feel a little more tired than before. I wiped my cold sweat and tried to open the door to get into the hallway. Then, right outside the door, I saw an oil-filled lamp.

In fact, there were a lot of lamps in the warehouse with oil in them.

As I walked past the lamp, I decided to revise my plan to get out of this place quietly. Then I turned back and found the matchbox that I saw in the directors drawer and put it in my pocket.

***

When I returned to my room, I spread out my last remaining clothes on the bed as if I were sleeping.

I want you to be fooled by this.

With that thought in my mind, I put my old shoes at the door. Except for the bag, moving all the household items back to its place were all perfect.

Please be fooled and hope that Im hiding here.

I had to make sure they didnt know that I had set the fire or that I had disappeared. My plan will be perfect if they hide my tracks in fear of others knowing that they let the nursery student die.

But the clothes are more likely to burn without a trace Id rather burn it to such an extent where my bone disappears as well. Then everyone will think Im dead.

Goodbye here, too.

This will be the beginning of my new life. I will survive and twist the beginning of this ss into sothing else. Now that Ive decided, I wont sit back anymore, waiting for my death.

I went out to the warehouse without hesitation, looking at the white breath that blood in my room.

I searched the warehouse and saw quite a lot of lamps and oil to fill them up as if they had been saving it hard. When I saw them, I even thought it was cheap that they didnt give any to my room even though there were so many lamps.

Ill let you know its no use saving it.

I found the lamps and tossed it all down to the ground. The oil from the crackling lamp started to douse up the floor. They were also flowing gradually into my room. I closed the small door so they could not see my room, and I even filled the locks that the nursery staff had put in the past to prepare for the circumstances I might not have known.

Because it has to look like I wasnt able to get out of here.

I hope that when this building burns and the fire goes out, everyone will realize that Im dead.

Spread it out, please. Itll be easier if Im rumored to be dead.

I moved my hands, trembling in the cold, to light the match. Looking at a burning little match, I threw it up on the floor. A small fire slowly started to built up big with oil.

The big-coming fire gave an unfamiliar feeling of heat than it did a while back. Soon after, there was a smoky sll of all the stuff being burned within the warehouse. The sudden spread of the burnt sll seed to cause the flas to rise faster than I expected.

There was a lot of stuff within the warehouse, but literally, its just a warehouse, and the kids wont starve if theres food provided to them.

At least they wont have to skip als like .

However, the director of the nursery will have to take responsibility for the fire, and the children will receive the benefit of the damage.

Theres no such thing as guilt.

The flas, which rose as fast as my anger, rapidly spread to my room connected to the warehouse. I turned my back and quickly escaped from the warehouse, hoping that this large-spreading fire would burn everything. As soon as I got out, the fire began to spread through the door of the warehouse. Finally, for the last ti, I saw the small warehouse room I lived in.

Youve really blocked it.

I couldnt see it well in the dark, but I could see sothing firmly blocking the door. I swallowed a bitter smile, looking at an obstacle I didnt clear, in case I would secretly sneak out.

T/n: her first plan was to escape secretly, but she changed it later and she didnt really clear it perfectly.

You should feel guilty that I died because of you all. Feel guilty and sympathize with the fact that I was a miserable dead child. And after youve forgotten about in your mory, I will appear perfectly.

Im going to make this place a ss like my life so far, putting that guilt aside. The reddish-red fla, blooming with oil, swallowed my room before I knew it, and held the warehouse in itself. The sound of the people seed to be heard little by little, so I hurried out of the nursery through the back door. There was no such thing as looking back on the road.

* * *

I hastened my body in the dark, exhaling white breaths. The cold breeze of early winter perated my thin clothes, but there was no sign of cold weather.

The novel said the office of Benedito rchants group is in the capital. First, go to the fountain in the center of the capital.

Im glad theres no one walking around. I sneaked out secretly moving quickly along the path I had taken and arrived at the fountain. Since I ca running, I cald my rough breath in front of the fountain.

Turn your head to the right here.

If you turn your head to the right and walk into the streets for about five minutes, youll find a three-pronged road. Then turn right again and look forward and go straight ahead. Then cos the dead end, and there is a wall surrounded by the vines. As I looked at the vines wrapped around the high wall, it filled my back with pressure.

Its just beginning.

I knocked on the door of the wall three tis as I rembered reading in the novel.

At regular intervals,knock, knock, knock.

And three seconds later,knock, knock, knock.

And three seconds later,knock, knock, knock.

Ive knocked nine tis in three turns. This was a hidden secret door of the rchants group. Nine knock-offs, as they were now, were a secret request to make a deal with the rchants group.

If, my mory is not wrong. The front door will open.

Fluttering ~

About five seconds after looking at the wall with tension, the wall went into the sky, and space for people to enter appeared.

opened.

Really, its open.

I took a deep breath, feeling a little overwheld, and then stepped inside. When I ca in, the wall behind closed again with a sound. As soon as I took a step forward, candles lit on both sides of the corridor at the sa ti. The brightened corridor was guiding to only one place, turning nowhere. I felt the warmth right away when I ca inside. I tried to warm myself up by slowly stroking my cold stiff arms.

Im glad I didnt freeze to death.

I heard my heart beating so loudly. I was a little pleased to think that I was ahead of the success of my plan. I moved forward, feeling the warm air with just a few candles.

Staircase?

Walking along the corridor with the bright light, I found a staircase that went down. There was no other way as if it were telling to co down, so I went down the stairs. As soon as I went down there ca a bright light and I frowned.

A kid?

The softest voice Ive ever heard called . I flinched at the voice and raised my head up. In front of was a boy about a seventeen or eighteen-year-old who looked down upon . I stepped back, unwittingly seeing the surprise in his light green eyes. He backed away, as surprised as I did.

Why the little kid? No, how could you know this place more than that.

Oh, Im here to see the head of the rchants group.

Head of the rchants group?

His forehead was crumpled as if he had heard sothing he shouldnt have heard. I guess the feeling of being surprised at has already ended. The boy shook his head with a stiff face as if it was his original expression.

Not anyone can easily et. You cant et.

Im here to make a deal. Please, Let et!

I dont know how you got in here, but get out of here.

If not, he seed to have hidden deliberately the words that he would kick out. His ferocious eyes, however, seed to drive out at once. I told him clearly in a loud voice because I was angry for no reason.

I want to make a deal! Let et the head of the rchants group!
