Baby Fairy is a Villain – Episode 1 (1/200)
Prologue (Illustration)
The fairy Richessia was born from a flower.
She was the most splendid and beautiful flower in the world.
It was said that Richessia’s one smile could bring down a country.
Dangerously attractive, she was also famous for something else besides her beauty: her cruel personality.
Like a flower with thorny blades, she did not forgive anyone who stood in her way.
However, the people of the underworld both hated and loved her.
They had no choice.
No matter how malicious they were, they forgot everything the moment they met Richessia.
Even the fact that she was the daughter of a mad fairy, raised man-eating flowers, and would chop down anyone she didn’t like with an ax.
Love and hate.
Goodwill and malice.
All sorts of ominous and bizarre rumors.
Surrounded by all of that, Richessia, who caused all sorts of incidents and accidents, was the most popular and famous person in the underworld.
The underworld residents were enthusiastic about each of her actions.
Everyone was interested in what Richessia would do this time…
One day, she disappeared.
Cleanly, without any trace, as if she had never existed from the beginning.
Several speculations arose about her sudden disappearance.
Some said she was arrested by the Inquisitors and imprisoned in the basement of the Vatican.
Others believed she was eaten by the man-eating flower she raised.
Still others speculated that even Richessia couldn’t handle it; for example, she touched and was killed by a being like the ‘Master of the Underworld’.
Speculation was rampant, but no one knew the exact truth.
Perhaps they wouldn’t have believed it even if they knew the truth.
Because even Richessia herself couldn’t believe the situation.
“Wow, I’m gonna go crazy.”
I’m going crazy, really.
She frantically tore at her hair with her short fingers.
Perhaps because her fingers were short, she couldn’t even grab it properly.
“I’m gonna turn insane.”
I’m going crazy.
She gave up tearing her hair and eventually screamed.
“What is this!”
She shouted in anger, but it was more ridiculous than threatening.
Because the one reflected in the mirror was a small, plump baby, only the size of a teddy bear.
The little baby trembled her chubby cheeks and made small fists in the air.
Richessia, the fairy, the most beautiful woman in the world.
The unparalleled villain who lived for her own excellence.
I, who was at the center of all sorts of splendid incidents and accidents…
“Turned into a baby!”
Richessia cried.
But all that came out was a strange sound like “Bbihooheuk” instead of a proper cry, but anyway, she cried.
There was a long story behind Richessia’s transformation into a baby, who was sadly beeping.
Everything started from Richessia’s birth, or rather, her origins.
Richessia was from an orphanage.
She was abandoned as a baby and lived in an orphanage all her life.
However, on her fifteenth birthday, the fairy’s power that had been dormant awakened, and her life was completely reversed.
Before she could even adapt to the sudden change, Richessia had to run away, because of the hunters who came after the traces of the fairy.
Richessia’s goal, who escaped from the orphanage with her bare body, was simple: to survive.
So she did everything she could.
She deceived her opponents with clever lies and suppressed them with force.
While struggling to survive, she thought.
‘Why do I have to suffer so much?’
I wanted to know the reason.
After digging into the cause, I learned the truth.
Richessia was the daughter of a fairy who had died in madness.
Because she inherited the blood of a mad fairy, she was born with a different power than ordinary fairies.
Because of that abnormal birth, she was abandoned in the world of fairies and became a person chased by slave hunters.
Richessia began to find the culprit who ruined her life.
After all sorts of hardships, she caught a clue.
She learned a rumor that one of the three major noble families of the Palen Empire was committing cruel experiments on fairies.
But that was it.
No matter how capable Richessia was, she couldn’t freely stir up trouble with a powerful noble family of the great empire.
It was when she was looking for a chance to somehow investigate this dead end.
“They are secretly adopting a baby?”
“Yes, Richessia-nim!”
Hata clenched his fist.
The purple eyes, which were always gloomy, sparkled.
“It’s certain. The Basilian County is looking for a baby to adopt!”
Hata explained enthusiastically in an excited voice.
“They are hiding their identity and looking at the orphanages one by one, but it’s still unknown high-level information. Only Hata knows.”
The Basilian County was the most secretive family among the three major noble families of the great empire.
There was not much information known to the public because there were few external activities.
It was also the family that Richessia suspected the most as the culprit.
It was a county family that already had three sons, but suddenly they are looking for a baby to adopt, moreover, not from some local noble family, but from an orphanage.
It was very suspicious.
“Hata thinks it would be good to approach the Count by pretending to be the head of the orphanage.”
“No. Such a temporary approach is not enough.”
“Ah, then what should we do?”
In front of Hata, who was pacing around, Richessia smiled brightly.
Hata looked at her with uneasy eyes at the bright smile as if a flower was blooming.
“I’m going to turn into a baby myself and be adopted into the County.”
“Ugh!”
Hata pressed his cheek with his hand and despaired.
“It’s dangerous, it’s really dangerous!”
“It’s not like I’m doing dangerous things once or twice.”
She simply wanted information that outsiders could not know.
In particular, the servants of the Basilian County were famous for their loyalty and tight-lipped nature.
She couldn’t peek inside because she couldn’t even be bought with money.
Now this was a perfect opportunity to enter the veiled County.
“Why are you being like this all of a sudden?”
When she winked, Hata’s face turned red while making a crying face.
He hesitated and eventually sighed.
“Hata will make a potion to become a baby…”
Thus, she ate Hata’s potion and turned into a baby.
A small body about 2 years old.
Short, curly blonde hair.
The eyes that were as red as blood turned into a clear pink color.
It was a cute and adorable baby that you couldn’t imagine as the fairy Richessia.
The small Richessia entered the orphanage with Hata’s help, with the fake name of Chesha.
The orphanage, which she had lived in for the first time in a long time, was a mess.
‘It’s a mess, it’s a mess.’
The parched children fought every day over rotten food, rag-like clothes, and tattered blankets.
The head of the orphanage was only thinking about extorting money from sponsors.
He didn’t even think about improving the children’s environment, because he thought that if they looked pitiful, the sponsorship would come in greatly.
Richessia, no, the baby who had become Chesha, stayed in the messy orphanage for a month.
Thanks to deliberately coming in dirty, she was able to naturally blend in with the other children.
However, there was one problem.
‘I have to stay still until the Count comes!’
…I decided.
This was very difficult, because the leaders in the orphanage were bullying Chesha.
They took away the food they were given and harassed them with all sorts of childish actions.
‘I’m an adult, so let’s not fight with the kids.’
One month after being tested for patience and suffering, Count Basilian finally visited the orphanage where Chesha was staying.
That day, the head of the orphanage was annoyed from the morning, because there were no sponsors who could make money recently.
It was when he was taking out his anger on the innocent children that he appeared suddenly.
The time when the sun was setting and the sunset was filling the sky.
A carriage with no patterns drawn on it entered the desolate orphanage yard, raising a cloud of dust.
The head of the orphanage hurriedly ran outside.
The children of the orphanage stuck to the windows with curious eyes.
Chesha also quickly stepped on a chair and looked out the window.
The carriage, which had no patterns drawn on it, looked like an ordinary rental carriage at first glance, however, I could be sure of it with the good blood horse and the dignified attitude of the coachman.
It was definitely a carriage of a high-ranking aristocrat.
The coachman, who had taken the whip, unfolded the stairs of the carriage and opened the door.
A man slowly got out of the carriage.
Chesha admired without realizing it.
“Wow……”
Count Basilian was really beautiful.
Even Chesha, who only looked at herself in the mirror every day, was surprised.
The portrait she had worked so hard to find did not capture even half of his appearance.
‘That man is Kierian Basilian.’
It was when I was looking at him with fresh eyes that Count Basilian, Kierian, with an expressionless face, opened his mouth.
“I’m trying to adopt a child.”
The cool voice was low but clear.
The head of the orphanage, who had been frozen by the atmosphere, was startled as if he had been hit by ice water.
“Thank you for visiting our orphanage! First, go inside and have some tea……”
Kierian stared at the bowing head of the orphanage without saying anything.
The meaning of the cold gaze was clear: he had no reason or time to drink tea in a place like this.
The head of the orphanage quickly ran to the orphanage and opened the door wide.
“Kids! You have to greet the precious guest!”
He pushed the hesitant children on the back and made them all come out into the yard.
About fifty children gathered in the yard.
It was a situation where it should have been so noisy that your eardrums would be torn with one or two words as usual, but the yard was as quiet as the sound of bread crumbs falling.
Everyone was so scared after seeing Kierian that they closed their mouths and only shed tears.
‘They’re like scaredy-cats.’
Among the children who lowered their eyes, Chesha proudly raised her head, but she was too small.
Kierian glanced at the children indifferently, but his gaze did not even reach the small Chesha.
He narrowed his eyes.
“It seems like there is no child I can take.”
Chesha, who was buried among the children bigger than her and struggling, frowned.
‘I! In this mess! I’ve been suffering for a month!’
I couldn’t miss it like this.
Now was the time to take out the secret weapon: the long, hard bread that came out as a meal a few days ago.
Chesha shouted, holding up the stone bread.
“Choose me!”
The loud cry spread in the quiet yard.
The head of the orphanage and the children all looked at Chesha with embarrassed eyes.
Count Basilian’s gaze finally turned to Chesha.
However, it was still difficult to see because it was still small even if you added the length of the bread.
Chesha hit the bad guys who were blocking her with stone bread.
The children screamed and stepped aside.
“Ack!”
“Kkeuek!”
“Kyak!”
I beat them all up because they were the ones who had been harassing Chesha.
Chesha, who had made a path with bread, ran to the front.
She shook the bread in front of Kierian again and shouted enthusiastically.
“Take me!!”
Kierian’s eyes, which had been cold until now, curved for the first time.
He made a clear smile, though faint and twisted, and asked back.
“Why would I?”
Count Basilian, seen up close, was even more beautiful and dangerous.
The black hair, all dyed in the red sunset, was as smooth as snake scales, as if calling for the dark darkness that would come after the sunset.
The red eyes, filled with faint interest, shone cruelly.
The moment I saw his eyes, I realized what answer I should give.
“I am!”
Chesha raised her chin and put her hands on her waist.
And she confidently said, sticking out her chubby belly forward.
“Cute!”
