James grew increasingly agitated. He started kicking the door forcefully.

The twisted cellar door opened a larger crack, and a foul stench wafted out.

A servant trembled as she spoke: "It smells like… a decomposing body!"

The other two brothers also approached, full of rage,

"What decomposing body? She clearly ran away long ago and just threw a dead rat in there to trick us!"

"Rachel Harper, do you really think we're that easy to fool?"

The three brothers grew even more impatient and all started kicking the door together. The entire cellar entrance shook again.

With a loud bang, the door was kicked wide open. Along with an even stronger putrid smell, the small dark cellar was exposed to everyone's view.

Light from outside poured in, dispelling the darkness inside.

I moved closer to look inside was my corpse.

Because the cellar was sealed and at a suitable temperature, my body after three days of death looked like it had been there for about ten days.
