Chapter 14: CH 8.1

Shockingly, the director was working with the kidnappers and brought children to the slave market regularly.

Most likely, the guys who took Diana to the orphanage a while ago were also part of the kidnapping group.

Lia’s eyes were burning with anger.

“I’ll never leave you alone for this!”

With my clenched hands trembling in anger, I managed to get myself together and pulled out a bunch of papers from the director’s desk.

Then, using magic, I immediately started duplicating the ledger and transaction statements.

I was going to take the original and put a replica in the safe in case of an unexpected situation.

After some time, the replica would return to meaningless paper, but it was enough for a moment’s trick.

‘Because the Duke of Elrad will arrive here soon.’

Thanks to the unprecedented abundance of mana, the copies were made much faster than I thought.

‘Now that I think about it, I must also find out why my mana has suddenly increased…’

“Great.”

Then all of a sudden, blood burst out of my throat and burst out.

I used a lot of mana all of a sudden, and my weak body couldn’t hold out.

I felt a tremendous sense of weakness, but I quickly raised my hand and wiped out all the drops of blood to avoid leaving any evidence.

At the same time, I staggered dizzy and sat down on the floor.

As I had feared, my mana ran out, and from my hand to my whole body I began to tremble, but only my eyes as I looked at the evidence shone.

“You’re slacking off again, you little bastards!”

I was barely pressing down on what I wanted to overturn, thinking of the night a few days ago, and suddenly hearing the director’s voice from downstairs.

“Bastard?”

“Nothing! Dana didn’t say anything.”

I said hastily, looking at Diana, who copied after the words of the director innocently.

Somehow I had a bad feeling about it…

Last night, as usual, the director went out for a drink and returned to the orphanage before midnight, his face turned pale as if he had seen a ghost. Then he found Diana and glared at her.

Perhaps thanks to my repeated requests, Diana did not make a noise or cry when she faced the big bad director. 

Knowing how scared Diana was of the director, I whispered in the child’s ear, kissing her cheek affectionately after the director returned.

‘Your father will come to your rescue soon, so be patient.’

As I remember, the Duke would visit the orphanage tomorrow.

I got up, hoping that the day would go by quickly, thinking that I just needed to hold on a little longer.

“Dana, Sister is going to clean up, so take a little sleep for a while.”

(T/N: Lia refers to herself as ‘sister’ and that’s how Diana calls her.)

“Duke Elrad, no it can’t be… I don’t think so. Yes, that’s right.. it’s not silver. It’s a light grey!”

My hand, which had been wiping the floor with a mop for a while, stopped at the words of the director who muttered to himself and frantically moved back and forth in the room.

Then the director glared at me and shouted sharply, “You! Bring that gray-haired girl from yesterday.”

“Yes?” Lia asked, startled.

“Don’t make me say it twice!”

With my eyes wide open, I hurriedly ran outside at the frightening shout of the director. My heart was beating crazily.

‘Shall we run away now? No, what will I do if I cross the Duke for no reason and cause a misunderstanding?’

As I was anxiously biting my nails, I suddenly stopped. Come to think of it, the director has shown such the same interest in Diana in the past as well.

Eventually, the day before the Duke came, he even locked Diana in the attic.

At the time, of course, I assumed that Diana was being punished for not adopting to life in the orphanage…

〈You guys should say you don’t know anything no matter what you hear!〉

When Duke Elrad stormed into the orphanage, a bolt of realization came to mind when I remembered what the director had said before bringing the children into the yard.

The director already knew…

That he himself was involved in the kidnapping of Princess Elrad, and that when this fact was revealed, his life would end on that day.

As it felt suffocated as I breath, I looked up and found myself in front of the bedroom door.

“Dana?”

Diana, who I thought of course was sleeping, stood by the bed and she suddenly started crying when she found me in front of the door.

“Sister…”

“Wh- why?”

Surprised, I quickly approached her, but Diana rather faltered back and only cried.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s alright. You have this sister okay?”

It’s ok, it’s alright…

I spoke in a calm tone several times, and the child finally stopped crying and calmed down a little.

Only then could I feel relieved and was able to see the situation properly.

“Well…”

Diana’s clothes and blankets were wet. Diana sniffled and wriggled her fingers knowing she couldn’t hide it any longer.

“Dana… You need to rest.”

“It’s okay.”

“I don’t mind… so.”

Seeing her refute my comforting words, the clever and quick-witted Diana understood the poor conditions of this orphanage.

She seemed to have noticed already.

“Sister, sorry!”

Diana kept wriggling her fingers, and soon lowered her head.

It was when I quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and hugged the child.

“What the hell are you doing! Are you kidding me?”

Thud~

The door burst open, and the director, who went to the second floor, came with a ferocious gaze and glared at Diana.

For a moment my heart pounded.
