Nevertheless, I couldn’t sleep because I was restless.
“Ha…”
Eventually I got up and leaned against the hard wooden wall.
‘I’ll wait for an opportunity next time and escape.
It was hard to stay alive here.
There was also a limit to staying here in the orphanage, I could die in a few days.
Even today, I couldn’t believe the assistant was hitting the kids again, how harsh they could be.
‘By the way…’
I opened my right hand as I recalled Caliberne who came into my body during the day.
‘What the hell am I going to do with this?’
The tyrant sub-male, whose eyes turned upside down by the sword that gives unconditional victory in the original story, aims at the heroine after learning that the heroine absorbed the sword.
Of course, in the future, regardless of Caliberne, that tyrant would still be fascinated by the heroine.
But, unlike the heroine, I had no confidence to fall in love with the tyrant.
‘Of course, it’s a no-no to suffer from that crazy obsession in the first place.’
Anyway, how hard did the lovely heroine struggle when she first met the tyrant sub-male?
“Split it in half.”
It was the first word the tyrant said when he met the heroine who had absorbed the sword.
Of course, no matter how powerless the other person was that came from another kingdom, she was still a princess, so he didn’t mean it sincerely, and he said it for the sake of controlling her.
But I wasn’t a princess, but a powerless commoner running around in an orphanage.
‘If it was me, he might really cut me in half and take out the sword.’
Feeling the chills, my body trembled and I swallowed my thoughts.
‘I’d rather not get involved as much as possible.’
I thought it wouldn’t be bad to escape from this country at all if I could run away successfully.
Or live out of the continent.
Even if he wasn’t a tyrant sub-male, there was nothing good about my situation as long as every country on the continent was aiming for Caliberne.
‘I don’t know if it’s Caliberne or Curly Fries that came into my body…’
I mumbled in my mind, scrambling my hands struggling with my dry hair.

“You’re putting the dishes behind! Can’t you eat fast?”
The director’s voice, which seemed like a roar of a beast, made my ears sore.
‘No, does it make sense to ask a child who barely holds a spoon to eat in 10 minutes?’
I thought while looking at Ully, who was holding a spoon with his trembling hands.
Originally, Ully was a weak and timid child.
So his actions were always tight.
I was bored, and I couldn’t make up my mind because I was busy looking at other children.
The director complained that he was always slow whenever she saw Ully.
What’s important was that Ully was only four years old.
“Oh, I- Im sorry. I’m sorry.”
“Just put it in your mouth quickly rather than answering me!”
The children noticed that the director was more upset than usual, took the hint and slipped out of the dining.
Suddenly, Ully, who was desperately chewing over what he put in his mouth with eyes full of tears, was left at the table, the director and I quietly watched the appearance of the crying child.
‘I think I should apply some ointment later on him.’
I knew why Ully was eating at a slower pace than usual.
A few days ago, while playing a knight riding a horse, he accidentally bit his tongue, and he had a wound because of it.
That’s why he couldn’t chew the food well.
However, the director, who was not aware of such circumstances and had no intention of understanding them, stared at Ully with her eyes wide open.
“I- I’m done eating.”
Ully, who put the porridge in his mouth.
He ran swiftly with a spoon and a bowl of rice to get out of his seat quickly for a moment.
**Clunk**
As soon as I heard the sound of glass breaking, my nerves stood sharp.
‘He’s in trouble.’
He fell to the floor and curled up, I ran to Ully who was crouching.
At that rate, he would be stabbed by a broken piece of glass.
“What are you doing now!”
The director’s voice echoed in the dining.
“You don’t know how to do anything right, at least try to even listen!”
How could it be the same as the words I heard at the orphanage in my previous life?
“The only thing you know how to do is to eat? That’s all you know?”
Why should a four-year-old child listen to those types of words?
Ully couldn’t answer the stabbing words, and he trembled because of fear as he cried.
“Well, I did wrong, I’m sorry…”
However, the director’s eyes were already mad.
“Shut up. I don’t want to hear it.”
My body moved first.
Somehow, I felt the director’s eyes were unusual, so I quickly blocked between the director and Ully.
Otherwise, something might happen.
“What?”
“Don’t touch the kids.”
I said to the director who looked at me with a red face.
“He’s still too young. He’s only four years old.”
“What?”
I looked straight at the director’s dark eyes, stained with anger.
“You’re being cheeky. I’ve been feeling a bit calm lately, but you’re climbing up without knowing the subject.”
Climbing up?
I didn’t understand.
The people who need to take care of the children set the hierarchy and reign over it.
It was funny to behave as if the children were poor people and they were kings.
