Perfect Ending Plan for the Villainess in a Fairy Tale - Chapter 5

I got goosebumps.

Then, would the prince also look like he was drawn in the illustration?

The female lead depicted in the illustration, Larissa, and her villainous older sister, Marcia were moderately similar but did not look the same.

Particularly, the older sister was drawn with only the features of pure white skin, blonde, and others were simplified.

It couldn’t be seen as a portrait of Marcia.

“The prince was obviously tall and black-haired.”

It would have been nice if there were even portraits on the family tree.

The characteristics of the person are even not written on it.

In the family tree, only names, years of birth and death, marital status, spouses, and children were written.

Still, this was a great result.

At least I figured out which family the prince is from and what his name is.

I was satisfied and covered the directory.

Runaway with Larissa, then take her to the Laurent family.

I would only leave her there and sell my jewels to survive.

“It’s simple.”

Of course, it won’t be that simple if you go into a detailed plan.

In any case, it would be better for Larissa than to be trapped in the basement and be beaten every day.

‘It’ll take at least a week for me to heal after the carriage accident. Let’s make an escape plan in a week.’

I put the books I took out and left the study.

“……How come I can’t do anything?”

It was the same in the last world and in the fairy tale.

But, there is one thing that happened

This happened on the fourth day since I was in this fairy tale.

It took a long time to realize, but my soul and Marcia’s were getting mixed up little by little.

At first, it was different.

Marcia’s will and memory were revealed only when stimulated from the outside.

When I wanted to know what had happened in the past, I had to ask Marcia a question in my mind.

However, as the days passed, it decreased.

What had happened in the past, and how Marcia would have behaved, these things began to pop up in my head right away.

On the third day, Marcia’s memory almost completely became mine.

‘So, it feels like it’s slowly absorbed into me……’

Just as my soul was absorbed into Marcia’s body, Marcia’s memory was absorbed into my soul.

I don’t know where Marcia’s soul has gone.

While taking over Marcia’s memory, it was the fourth day that I realized with my whole body what kind of abilities the fairy mother gave Marcia.

Until then, I simply thought that Marcia had a good hearing ability.

This was because I could hear the whispering voices of the maids passing through the corridor.

Strangely, I couldn’t hear their footsteps, but only their speech was clearly audible.

But the voice I heard on the fourth day wasn’t like the maids complaining.

It was a creepy voice.

– Please save me, I did it wrong. It hurts, it hurts…… Please stop……

The voice of a young girl begging bitterly.

“……!”

I was sitting in this common room, and I was frightened and opened the door.

There was nobody in the hallway.

The room connected to the common room was a reception room and was empty as well.

I muttered, “Was it my hallucination?”

While I was thinking, the voice continued to be heard.

It was a voice that made me scared just by listening.

If it was Marcia, she would have tried to run away from that voice right away.

Either run away to her room on the top of the mansion, or run out of the house, and go to any party and drink.

But I was different from Marcia.

Contrary to her, I did not run away but moved my steps toward the side where the voice was heard.

Where would it have been?

Apparently, it was in the basement.

Realistically, the voice from the second floor underground could not be heard up to the second floor above the ground.

In addition, the basement where Larissa was trapped was thoroughly soundproofed.

‘No way……’

I stopped in front of the entrance to the basement.

The door was locked from the inside, and I left the key to the basement in my room while rushing down to find the source of the voice.

‘What should I do? Should I go back and get the key?’

While hesitating, the door opened.

It was my brother, Villain, who came out.

When we made eye contact, he opened his eyes wide and soon stained his face with a laugh.

“Who is this? Are you going to do it yourself now?” his sarcastic way of speaking was unpleasant.

Looks like he thought I was here to beat up Larissa.

I asked, “What are you doing here?”

‘Rather than that, to come out of here……’

I quickly looked at him from top to bottom.

Not surprisingly, there were a few drops of blood splattered on the ends of his sleeves.

“Is there anything else to do here?”

I couldn’t stand it and raised my voice, “I gave you an earring a few days ago. It was emerald.”

The earring was quite expensive. It’s no exaggeration to say that it would be a month’s worth of alcohol.

That was a month’s worth of liquor prices for Villain’s alcohol and even could buy a small house.

By the way, why did he go to the basement again?

‘No way…….’

“Yes, it was quite expensive. It was a shame that I lost it.”

“Did you even gamble that? How much did you think it was?”

Villain strides toward me.

When a man with a big stature looked down in front of my nose, I was overwhelmed.

“So what? That well-off emerald earring was eventually paid for with tears.”

Villain pricked my shoulder with his index finger.

“Do you think you’re innocent just because you send the nany to hit her? All the luxuries you eat and wear come from here.”

I know, I know.

‘So I’m trying to stop it from now on!’

Of course, I can’t say that.

I reached out and pushed Villain hard.

But he didn’t even budge.

Instead, he lifted his hand that poked me in the shoulder and turns to my cheek.

“I haven’t destroyed that diamond mine, I’ll never kill her until my life is full of wealth.”

My face frowned more.

I struck Villain’s hand and pushed him away, looking at him.

Villain looked down at me for a moment and then laughed, pulling the tail of his mouth.

“Stop your hypocrisy.”

He took the key out of his pocket and locked the door of the basement room securely.

When he heard the clacking sound of the iron clasp, he grabbed the door handle and shook it to make sure it was locked.

Villain took a look at me and left the basement, leaving me alone.

The same desperate voice was no longer heard inside the door.

The inside was quiet.

Instead, Villain’s voice came from the top of the stairs.

– How funny, crazy bitch.

I realized at that moment.

The ability of the fairy mother gave to Marcia was to hear people’s inner voices.

To be precise, only negative inner voices.

There is no voice of joy.

Voices of complaining or swearing were heard without exception.

It was clearer if that was the voice directed at Marcia herself.

‘I can see why Marcia’s personality has come to this point.’

I can hear the inner voices of people around me, but all of them are negative voices.

Even when I was still, I heard complaints from everywhere.

The more she heard, the worse her character Marcia deteriorated, and the employees were more complaining about her.

Moreover, the negative inner voices could be heard from a distance.

‘That’s why Marcia’s room is on top of the mansion.’

She couldn’t withstand Larissa’s screams from the basement.

So her room should be the furthest from the basement.

On days she could not stand, she ran out of the mansion.

She wasn’t as pretty as Larissa, but she was beautiful.

People at the party said only good things to her.

She was sixteen years old, and she fell into booze right after she was allowed to drink when she reached adulthood.

So she went to parties every night, drank the liquor, and returned home at dawn.

I bite my lip, recalling the memories of Marcia’s past.

‘I already know by reading from her memory. But I just knew it with my head.’

It would be like this to hear someone else’s inner voice.

Now I am Marcia.

‘I don’t think it’s hard. I won’t avoid it, I’ll solve the problem.’

If you hear the inner voice in pain, don’t you just have to get rid of the source?

The voice of Larissa’s heart bothers me.

Then I can leave the house or get Larissa out of the basement.

“Or I can do both.”

I take Larissa and run away from here, leaving her to her future husband.

“Perfect.“

I have three days left until the day I decide to run away.

I leaned against the heavy basement door. The iron door was so cold that I shuddered.

I put my cheek to it and said quietly.

“Please be patient, just three more days.”

But it wasn’t three days later that I started packing, but exactly two hours later.

It was because as soon as Igor—who had been out—returned to the mansion, Larissa screamed again.

‘Let’s go out tonight.’

I took out my bag and swept all the jewelry and accessories I had.

***

Late at night, I went to the basement secretly.
