The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 15

The baby fairy, Villain – Episode 15 (15/200)

It rained on my mother’s funeral day.

Belzeon remembered that day vividly.

Everything was soaked by the heavy rain pouring from the sky.

But none of the men of the Vasilias family shed a tear.

The empty coffin was filled with flowers.

He stood blankly, staring at the coffin filled with the flowers his mother loved.

As he stared endlessly, his still young brother tugged at his sleeve.

“Brother.”

Ishuel looked up at him with anxious eyes.

“Where’s Mother?”

“…….”

“I can’t see Mother. I’ve been looking for her since yesterday, but I can’t find her.”

“……”

“Brother…….”

Belzeon turned his head away without a word.

He felt the small force tugging at his sleeve, but he ignored it.

He didn’t have the confidence to explain the situation to his young brother.

Because Belzeon hadn’t accepted it yet either.

After trying to get his attention for a while, Ishuel eventually gave up and went elsewhere.

He heard a chattering voice approaching Karha, who was sitting in the corner.

“Karha. Find Mother for me.”

“Can’t find her.”

“Why?”

“I can’t smell her.”

“Why can’t you smell her?”

“I don’t know.”

“Then what about my sibling? You said our sibling is in Mother’s belly. Can’t you smell the sibling either?”

“I told you, I don’t know. Go away.”

“Eek……!”

Ishuel kicked Karha with his foot.

Normally, he would have jumped up and hit Ishuel back, but Karha was quiet.

He just curled up like a wounded cat.

“Father!”

Ishuel ran to Kiernan last.

The footsteps that had been hurrying slowed down.

Ishuel looked at Kiernan with uneasy eyes.

“Why are you doing this? You’re not even using an umbrella…. It’s raining a lot, and the floor is wet.”

“…….”

“Father, get up.”

Ishuel tapped Kiernan with the hand that wasn’t holding the umbrella.

The small hand carefully touched his arm, but the stiff body didn’t move.

He just sat there, as if he had become a stone statue.

After lingering beside him for a while without any reaction, Ishuel returned to Belzeon.

A very dejected voice muttered weakly.

“What is everyone doing…….”

Belzeon bit the inside of his cheek hard.

With a thud, the flesh burst and a bitter taste of blood spread.

He gripped the umbrella tightly and approached his father.

The sight of him kneeling in front of his dead wife’s coffin, exposed to the pouring rain, was pathetic.

His pale face was covered with black hair that had fallen haphazardly, and his red eyes were darkly sunken without focus.

Belzeon recalled the last request his mother had left him.

He repeated it to himself dozens, hundreds, thousands of times.

After chewing it over until it was tattered, he put the umbrella over Kiernan’s head.

“Pull yourself together.”

Kiernan didn’t react even though the rain that had been pounding his body had stopped.

It was as if he couldn’t feel anything.

The raindrops that had gathered in his hair ran down his cheeks.

They gathered at the tip of his chin and fell to the floor, drip, drip.

Belzeon shouted.

“You can’t be like this! You are, Count Vasilias……!”

You can’t act like you’re going to throw everything away and be buried with the flowers.

As Count Vasilias.

Because he had the responsibilities and duties as the snake who ruled the Black Forest.

Belzeon took a ragged breath and whispered.

“Mother wouldn’t want this either…….”

No answer came.

Only the sound of rain was loud in the silence.

A low laugh was heard.

At first, it was such a small sound that he thought he had misheard it mixed with the rain.

But the laughter gradually grew louder.

“Hahaha!”

Kiernan laughed, his shoulders shaking.

Because Belzeon was so surprised that he took a step back, he laughed wildly in the pouring rain without an umbrella.

The bloodshot laughter lasted for a long time.

“Ha…. Haa, haha…….”

When he finally stopped laughing.

Kiernan staggered to his feet.

Standing in front of his mother’s coffin, he swept back his messy hair with his hand.

He revealed his smooth forehead by sweeping back his wet hair and smiled brightly.

The dark red eyes sparkled dazzlingly like shattered ruby fragments.

“That’s right. I am Count Vasilias.”

A sense of unease made his body tremble.

A premonition that something was seriously wrong filled his head.

But the fall had already begun.

There was no way to stop it.

Kiernan took a handful of flowers from the coffin.

Hugging the flowers that were soaked with rain, he said cheerfully.

“So I should be able to revive a dead person, right?”

It was the moment of corruption and the beginning of madness.

***

After his mother’s death, Count Vasilias went completely mad.

Belzeon watched the process of him going mad.

How someone who looks perfectly fine on the outside is broken and ruined on the inside.

And finally…….

“I’ve finally found a way to revive Mom, Belzeon.”

Even to the point of reaching out to the forbidden.

Belzeon decided.

He had to keep his mind right, at least.

Even his dead mother wouldn’t want to forcibly bring back a soul that was already at rest.

He was trying to stop it somehow, but it wasn’t easy.

The Count even brought in a baby to obtain the Fairy Queen’s crown.

It was a sacred object of the Hilderd Holy Empire.

To use it as a sacrifice to use black magic to revive the dead was insane.

The moment it was discovered, the Vasilias family would be destroyed immediately.

The innocent child who cooperated with him would also be executed.

But he couldn’t think of a way to stop the Count.

It was difficult to make an objective judgment because the new sibling he had brought was quite plausible.

Even more so because his two-year-old twin siblings were agreeing to the Count’s madness.

“…….”

Belzeon, who was pressing his temples, glanced out the window.

He saw the baby taking a walk in the garden with his siblings.

The townhouse in the capital had a well-maintained garden, unlike the Eastern Snake’s Castle.

The baby was well-suited to the garden full of flowers.

His gaze turned to the blonde hair that sparkled in the sunlight.

And also the delicate features and pink eyes.

If a younger sister who resembled his mother had been born, she would have looked just like that.

Unconsciously, he looked at the baby for a while, and then he suddenly remembered the words that the small lips had said to him.

“This place is good.”

“Daddy is good.”

He didn’t feel any lies in the baby’s words that the Snake’s Castle and Count Vasilias were good.

He suspected that the Count had even mind-controlled him, but he wasn’t because his eyes were clear.

What on earth was so good?

He hated everything…….

“You’re starting to feel a little bit of affection for your sibling now, aren’t you?”

Belzeon withdrew his gaze from the window.

“How about making a noise instead of sneaking around like a thief, Count?”

“Haha.”

Kiernan chuckled softly.

He leaned against the wall with his arms crossed and looked at the baby playing in the garden with soft eyes.

From the satisfied look in his eyes, he could guess that the Count had obtained satisfactory results from the Imperial Palace.

Belzeon couldn’t help but sneer at him.

“You finally dragged a young child into that disgusting act.”

“Oh, that’s harsh. Call it pure love.”

Belzeon stopped talking.

It would only tire his mouth to say more.

Instead, he brought up another topic.

“What are you going to do in the future?”

“About what?”

Belzeon answered clearly to the question that he asked while knowing everything.

“You announced that you would attend the Minor Saint Prayer Meeting…. I’m asking if you’re going to come up completely above the surface.”

The Vasilias family had not left the Black Forest until now.

It was the first moment that the snake, which had never come above the water and had been crouching quietly under the surface, might wake up.

“From now on, the Vasilias family will have no choice but to be revealed. It would be a good choice to actively expand your power from now on.”

The number of people paying attention to Vasilias has already increased.

The kidnapping that happened at the Snake’s Castle this time was also because of that.

He interrogated the kidnappers harshly, but eventually failed to find out who was behind them.

They were from ‘that place,’ but they were just disposable pawns.

Because it was twisted in two or three layers, he couldn’t find out the real client.

It was evidence that the forces paying attention to Vasilias were high-ranking.

Belzeon, who was thinking about the kidnappers, slowly added.

“…Including that place. You’ve been hiding it until now, but shouldn’t you reveal it to the outside world at the right time now?”

When he mentioned another secret that Vasilias had hidden, Kiernan laughed lightly.

“I’ll think about it.”

But his gaze was on the child in the garden.

It was clear that he was thinking of a dead person, not the future of the Count’s family.

He was reminded of Kiernan at the funeral, who seemed to throw everything away and be buried with the coffin full of flowers.

“…I.”

His gaze turned to Belzeon at the voice filled with anger.

He glared at Kiernan and said as if spitting it out.

“I will protect the family, Count.”

Because that was the mission his mother had left Belzeon.

Belzeon would protect the Vasilias family.

By any means and methods.
