Chapter 2

“You stupid brat! Take care of the mess you made right now!”

“Bu—But……”

“I told you not to talk back to me! Scrub the floor with that mop!”

The director exclaimed and pointed at the mop that was on the floor.

The director raised his eyebrows and left the room. Telin slowly picked up the mop.
“I-It’s all because of you. You ruined everything.”

Telin glared at me before harshly throwing the mop away.

“I’ve changed into my most expensive clothes!”

“Wow, you’re really funny. Why do you keep blaming Shuelina?”

“Let’s go, Shuelina. Let her take care of this place by herself.”

Huh, she deserves it.

No one sided with Telin. Far from that actually. They looked uninterested.

Sneaking out of the door, Telin angrily squeezed the black water out of her stained dress.

But wait. Why did Telin change her dress again?

I tried to recall the reason……

‘Is today the day?’

An important guest would always visit the orphanage at dawn. I know that because I’m always cleaning at that time.

And this guest is the most important guest we’ve ever had……

‘The Grand Duke of Vailot!’

The cursed family of villains.

The Grand Ducal Family of Vailot, which is also referred to as the devil’s den.

They selected an orphan in the name of patronage and had them stay in their mansion.

‘To be exact……’

They tried to erase their family’s notoriety through newspaper headlines which said, ‘The Grand Duke helps a young girl’……

But that’s not what matters right now.

I just remembered.

The lucky child whom the grand duke chose that time was Telin.

‘She was definitely aiming for it.’

I wondered why she was so excited.

Telin, who is close to the director, must have known who was coming in advance.

It wasn’t difficult for this orphanage to catch rumors.

She might have noticed a bit late that it was just a sponsorship, not an adoption, but Telin still felt very lucky.

As far as I know, the grand duke did not stop sponsoring after that.

‘So that’s why.’

She was trying to provoke me to create a big fuss.

Around this time in the novel, Shuelina was locked up in a solitary room, crying.

She was still a little girl at that time, so she was helpless against Telin.

‘I finally understand why you’ve been staying close to me lately.’

She was wary of Shuelina, the prettiest and loveliest child in the orphanage, even when she cried.

She had to lock Shuelina away so that the grand duke wouldn’t know that Shuelina existed.

I stared at my reflection in the window.
