Chapter 10 Meaningful escape
She rummaged her memory and thought deeply.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the body had little memories of what she's been doing or what's she's gone through.
But some questions began to rise but those were being constantly suppressed at the back of her mind. In this case, however, she can't help but feel an itch and ask.
'Where did she get such character? Is Risha one of the supporting character that I've never knew?'
There are a lot of things that she didn't know and this one thing bugs her the most.
'I should've just finished the book rather than going on a rampage. I hate myself for that.'
In some particular situations, she could feel the original Aillenne whenever she's near with the people she had when she's still living, like when she sees her father, however it doesn't help her situation.
Engrossed and eyebrows narrowed, Aillenne didn't even noticed her nanny's arrival.
"My lady, do you wish to learn another type of embroidery today? I already brought the materials needed for it."
Her nanny who looked so shiny smiled at her and offered the materials. She put aside the strange letter and put off the thoughts for another time.
'Let's leave it be. I'll just enjoy this moment before thinking again of the situation. For now...'
She smiled.
"Of course, I wish to learn more things with nanny. So what shall we do today? I'm so excited."
She giggled as she was definitely excited.
The time she spends with her nanny were the warmest she ever had in all of her lives. Nanny Sabbie is a woman who sincerely cared for her, more than her biological parents.
Even if she know that Aillenne forgot about things, she didn't get tired of making the newly possessed body to remember and remind about things the original Aillenne did or didn't, likes and dislike making things easier to adapt.
She showed Sierra Zynne the feeling of being taken cared of and the joy in life she never experienced. It is the sweetest feeling she would always look for.
She puts her trust to the nanny and her nanny never failed her. Like a daughter, she tries to be a good girl to her nanny and does the things that are pleasant to everyone.
At first, she acted in pretense but as time goes by, she felt like doing it continuously.
Nobody pointed out of her new attitude and countenance maybe because nobody actually know her. But when her nanny didn't react much, she continued and acted according to her whims.
She doesn't know how the young original Aillenne acts, but if she's already a villainess since young, I can just switch to act like that.
She watched nanny Sabbie prepare the materials and sat on the small couch, Aillenne jumped off the bed and hurriedly ran to her side.
On impulse, she bumped on nanny's side and hugged her tightly.
'I wish I had a mom like nanny. Would I have lived a good life if I had a mom like her?'
The nanny smiled at her cuteness and just let her be.
'Awww... how sweet.'
The nanny thought. She stopped and put down the embroidery materials before she proceed to speak.
"Ahhh... right. I only got the approval just a while ago and I will have to go back to my hometown for three days. I'll leave by tomorrow, so you should behave, okay? Can I expect that, my lady?"
"Yes, Nanny. Be sure to give my gifts and regards to your children. Then take your time too. I'll behave like I usually do..."
The nanny smiled.
'My lady had grown already.'
The next day...
"Ahhhh!!! My lady is nowhere!!!"
"Search within the perimeter!"
"Find her in the forest, she might have lost her way again!"
"Prepare the knights we'll have a thorough search."
Aillenne dressed again in cheap clothes went to the eighth district of the capital.
The place is bustling with people. Commoners commonly reside in this place.
It is somewhat disorderly but for Aillenne who live life much similar to this in her previous life, had a nostalgic look on her face.
'Ahhh...I missed my previous world.'
She wandered here and there and bought fresh fruits from the stall and began to munch on the apple.
"Gah!!! Help me! Please just a bit of money for bread! I desperately needed bread. My siblings and I haven't had a meal for days now. Please, somebody."
A boy with an unruly green hair was begging for scraps but the people didn't want to be associated with him.
Some even scoffed and pretended not to see him.
Her image overlapped with his. Begging for food and being locked in the dark room...
She approached him.
"Hey. You want bread right?"
The lad stared at her with tears hanging on his eyes. He then nodded vigorously. Like a puppy who saw his owner, he seemed pleased by the sudden appearance of a person who became interested with his plight.
Mikhael Serenio.
A commoner who became the father and mother to his younger siblings after their parents died by the plague. They were thrown in anywhere they went until they found their place in the eighth district.
He was one of the men vital in the story.
He might be shabby today, but someday, he will become one of the advisor of the 6th prince who brought prosperity to the empire.
'I will say sorry to the prince in advance, but I badly needed the way to live. If this world won't allow me to die, then I'll find ways to escape and live a good life.'
And Mikhael Serenio is the character I needed the most. He will become my hands and feet for one of my activities.
Aillenne carefully set the pieces.
The bread and goodwill she'll offer will turn to loyalty and faith to their savior. The eyes of his siblings were shining with tears.
"You will not have problems with food and shelter anymore. If you will follow me, I'll give you the things you need. But you have the option to decline."
Aillenne said nonchalantly as she glanced at the run-down house they were living.
Cold and dirty house, so dark and the windows were wide open adding the coldness from the wind.
If winter comes, how will this family survive?
Aillenne didn't know what life story did Mikhael have, all she knew is he became one of the most important person in the empire.
Startled and surprised by the sudden offer, the kids hurriedly bowed deeply against her feet and swore loyalty to her.
She grinned then gave instructions for their survival.
'Now let's wait until I had the chance and escape.'
