The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 42

The rose garden of the Imperial Palace was wonderful.

There were many flowers; they were pretty, and the fragrance was lovely. It was amazing, anyway.

Actually, I don’t remember it well.

It was because I wasn’t in the right state of mind to look around in detail.

Chesha, having learned the truth about Kiern, suffered a great mental blow.

I didn’t even know how I managed to pretend to be okay in front of Kiern.

Fortunately, I managed to return to the mansion safely, doing my best.

And I kept thinking until my head felt hot.

If the master of the underworld is Count Basilian…

Several questions that had been lingering until now were neatly pieced together.

Why the Count’s family was respected by the Imperial Family even while being stuck in the Black Forest of the East, and how they rose to the position of one of the Empire’s three great families, and so on.

However, Chesha was not at all pleased to learn the hidden secrets of the Basilian family.

“Lady Lichesia!”

The next night, Hata, transformed into a puppy, appeared in the bedroom, wagging his tail with a jingle.

“Hata is back. Hata, who successfully carried out Lady Lichesia’s orders!”

He seemed very excited, having made a hat he liked.

Hata wiggled his butt and walked step by step, dancing.

“Hata, who makes hats well, makes potions well, and is good with his hands, is here…….”

Hata, who was singing his own song and approaching happily to the rhythm, gasped and stopped.

It was because he found Chesha sitting on the children’s sofa with a blank look.

Hata, seeing the baby looking as if she was carrying all the hardships and adversities of the world, stammered and called Chesha.

“L, L, Lady Lichesia?”

“…Hata.”

Chesha, who hadn’t slept a wink since yesterday, had dark circles under her eyes.

The poor Chesha, whose cheekbones had become gaunt in a day and a half, said.

“We have to run away again.”

“Run away? Suddenly? Hata hasn’t made the adult potion yet…. I need more time for the potion.”

He was busy making hats and hadn’t gathered enough materials, so he didn’t know what to do.

Since the plan wasn’t to transform into an adult and run away, I held out my hand to stop Hata from talking.

Hata closed his mouth.

“Basilian Count is.”

“Yes!”

“The Master, I think.”

“Yes?”

The puppy, who had been flapping his ears, froze.

And he covered his face with his front paws and screamed.

“N-No way!”

Hata looked like he was about to faint.

Becoming a gaunt puppy as if he could collapse on the spot, he stammered and repeated what Chesha had said.

“Ba, Basilian Count is, the Master…….”

The witch Lichesia was one who belonged to the underworld.

It might not be appropriate to say ‘belonged’ since those abandoned by the world gather on their own, but she thought so herself.

In fact, she felt a slight sense of belonging.

The daughter of a mad fairy.

A being born with twisted power, deviating from the laws of nature.

Chesha was the one who suited the underworld best.

Chesha felt the most stable when she stayed in the underworld.

‘But now I’ve deceived the master of the underworld.’

The reason I was able to act confidently when I met the master this time.

It was only because Chesha had done nothing wrong.

Even when I was confidently standing up for myself, as soon as I found out that Hylon had caused the trouble, I obediently lowered my tail and promised to fix it.

I didn’t insist that I had done nothing wrong.

That’s how much Chesha didn’t want to make an enemy of the Master.

But this is…….

It was like pulling off a huge scam.

Against none other than the Master!

‘He’ll kill me.’

If he finds out the truth, he will surely kill Chesha.

Because I made fun of him and found out his identity.

There was no reason to keep me alive.

He would cut off the heads of both Chesha and Hata.

Even if we barely escape alive.

The witch was already at odds with several forces, including the Holy Empire.

If she were to make an enemy of the underworld on top of that.

Chesha would really have nowhere to go.

She would be completely isolated.

‘There’s nowhere to return…….’

Chesha didn’t have a home.

It was because she didn’t feel the need since she was always wandering around looking for information about fairies.

Still, the place she thought of as a mental settlement, the place she thought she could return to, was the underworld.

She didn’t want to be kicked out of such an underworld.

“It’s okay. There’s still a chance left.”

I need to get out quickly before they find out that I’m the witch Lichesia.

Since Belzeon seems to be planning to send me out, I should use him to move.

Escape from the mansion as naturally as possible, disappear as if I’m missing.

Then, when the commotion subsides and the Basilian family no longer seems to be looking for me.

Then I can secretly go back to wandering around as a witch.

Hata and I had a heated discussion and made a plan to escape from the Basilian family.

Suddenly, for a very brief moment, I felt a sense of regret.

The hats and accessories that Hata made.

And the suits and dresses that Miya will fix and alter.

There was no need to check, they would all be wonderful.

I imagined the moment when the Basilian family would make a splendid appearance at the banquet in attire more magnificent than any other noble family…….

“Because it’s not Basilian.”

Belzeon’s voice came to mind clearly.

Chesha shook off the unnecessary thoughts from her head.

***

Baroness Malein was a tutor that Kiern had searched high and low to find.

She initially tried to refuse the Basilian family’s offer to take charge of the children’s education.

However, Kiern offered too much money to refuse.

She was also secretly curious about the Basilian family, so she eventually accepted the offer after much deliberation.

Since they were a family stuck in the east, I was worried that it would be difficult to remodel them to fit the capital.

Surprisingly, the children of the Basilian family were truly sophisticated and intelligent.

Thanks to that, Baroness Malein was currently spending days with high job satisfaction.

“Hmm, good.”

Karcha slowly stepped to the violin played by Ishuel.

Karcha’s movements to the slow dance music were a bit stiff, but the movements were accurate and angular, so it felt like his own personality.

As much as he used his body well, he quickly learned the dance moves.

Baroness Malein was impressed by Karcha, who learned like a sponge.

Karcha couldn’t hide his extremely bored expression, but he still did his best to do what he was told.

And he quickly passed the turn to Ishuel.

“Your turn.”

Karcha, who had finished dancing, sat in front of the piano.

And he played a dance song for Ishuel.

Ishuel always did this kind of thing flawlessly, so there was nothing for the Baroness to say.

When Ishuel danced, it was almost time to admire.

“Good, just a little smoother there…, that’s right.”

When the song ended, Baroness Malein applauded generously.

“Ah, I’m really looking forward to it. At this ball, all the young ladies will be asking the young masters for a dance.”

Baroness Malein was immersed in emotion alone.

While she was imagining the future and feeling ecstatic on their behalf, the twins quickly exchanged glances.

The two were aiming for Chesha, who was sitting on the sofa eating cookies.

“Let’s end the dance class here today.”

And as soon as Baroness Malein declared the end of the class, they quickly ran to Chesha.

No, they were about to approach.

“Young masters, please follow me. We will proceed with the etiquette class right away. Young Master Belzeon specifically asked me to do so.”

The twins were dragged back by Baroness Malein.

The etiquette class was Chesha’s doing.

She lied to Belzeon that the twins were spilling and eating everything when drinking tea these days.

Chesha, who effectively separated the twins by using Baroness Malein, moved quickly.

Before leaving the Basilian family.

I was going to squeeze out all the information I could find and leave.

‘Now that I know Kiern is from the underworld, I need to completely change the way I investigate.’

There was a way that only the underworld had.

The residents of the underworld had a completely different way of thinking from ordinary people.

Chesha worried for a moment if Kiern might be more normal than she thought.

But she shook her head.

‘There’s no way.’

Thinking with a distinctly underworld-like perspective.

Chesha decided to go to the Black Forest of the East.
