Steps to reproduce

• Tell us how to reproduce this issue.

1. deploy a smart contract

 // SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.9;

contract Storage {
    uint256 public value;
    
    constructor() {
        value = 42;
    }
    
    function setValue(uint256 _newValue) public {
        value = _newValue;
    }
}

2. Use the eth_getStorageAt method (with the correct contract address)

curl --request POST \
   --url http://localhost:10002/ \
   --header 'accept: application/json' \
   --header 'content-type: application/json' \
   --data '
{
"method": "eth_getStorageAt",
"params": [
  "0xAE975071Be8F8eE67addBC1A82488F1C24858067",
  "0x0",
  "latest"
],
"id": 1,
"jsonrpc": "2.0"
}
'

Expected behavior

• Tell us what should happen.
  It should return:

 {
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "result": "0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002A"
} 

• Tell us what happened instead.
  It returns:

 {
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "result": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
}
