The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 46

The day I left Basilian County was peaceful.

Kieren was out, as usual, and the twins came to bother Chesha, only to be dragged away by Belzeon.

Left alone, Chesha sat in his room to write a letter.

He thought it would be nice to leave a letter for a proper farewell.

“Heewoong…….”

But writing with his small hands wasn’t easy.

No matter what he wrote, it always turned out to be an illegible scrawl.

Chesha struggled with the pencil, crumpling paper after paper until he finally gave up.

He didn’t have anything to say anyway.

What could he say when he was running away?

Chesha, having neatly given up, ate snacks with Hata by the window.

Today’s snack was a muffin filled with milk and chocolate.

Originally, dogs shouldn’t eat chocolate, but Hata, being a beast-man, happily shared the muffin with Chesha, wam-nyam-nyam.

Chesha took bites of the muffin and looked out the window.

In the beautifully decorated garden, pink rose bushes had been newly planted.

They were the same species as the roses he had seen with Kieren in the Imperial Palace’s rose garden that day.

Kieren probably ordered them to be planted in the garden.

It was amazing how the flowers bloomed more lushly and vibrantly than the roses in the Imperial Palace’s garden, no matter what he did.

“……”

Even if he left the County, he would miss the garden a little.

Chesha ate the chocolate muffin, lost in sentimental thoughts.

‘At this rate, I might even miss that gloomy snake’s castle and the black forest.’

In fact, if Kieren hadn’t been the Master, he might have stayed in Basilian County a little longer.

That was because there were still many things he was curious about in the County.

How did Basilian County become the master of the underworld?

Why did they stay holed up in the black forest of the east, even with such power?

‘I’m also curious as to why Kieren collected data related to fairy experiments…….’

In particular, he was curious about what the three brothers did in the underworld.

‘They’re young boys, but if they’re that skilled, they must have stood out.’

Yet Chesha had never even heard rumors about the three brothers.

Just then, Ishuel, holding a parasol, and Karha, holding a sword in each hand, were seen passing by in the distance.

The boys, sensing his gaze, looked at Chesha sitting by the window.

Chesha waved to the twins to acknowledge them.

‘Still, if the three brothers continue to go in and out of the underworld…….’

Chesha would also continue to stay in the underworld, so he might see them from afar someday.

Of course, he wouldn’t go up to them, greet them, or talk to them.

It would be nice to see their faces, even for a moment.

It would be nice to see Kieren too, but most of the times he met the Master, it was to die, so it was a bit difficult.

Chesha smiled as he watched the twins waving at him.

‘Anyway, I think I’d like to check if everyone is doing well.’

***

In the dead of night.

He put Hata in a small bag and slung it diagonally across his body.

Then he looked around diligently to see if there was anything else to pack, but there wasn’t.

Chesha wrapped a handkerchief around his head to hide his conspicuous golden hair.

Then he toddled to the front door, waiting for Belzeon.

Creak.

Not long after, the door opened with a low sound.

Belzeon, wearing a black, worn-out hood, entered the room.

He paused for a moment when he saw Chesha with a handkerchief on his head, then handed him a small hood.

Chesha took off the handkerchief and put on the hood without complaint.

‘But what’s with that bag?’

Chesha was carrying a bag to put Hata in.

But Belzeon was also carrying a large bag, which was a bit strange.

‘Is he giving me something as a gift?’

The bag was bigger than Chesha.

He wouldn’t send a baby out alone, so there must be an adult guardian.

Chesha speculated that he was going to hand the bag over to that person.

After putting on the robe and looking up at Belzeon, he picked Chesha up.

Hiding Chesha inside the robe, he quietly left the mansion.

Throughout the escape, Belzeon never encountered anyone else.

It was thanks to knowing exactly when and where the servants were passing by.

Kieren and the twins were also out today.

He remembered what Belzeon had said to him.

“I’ll make sure none of the three of them can come home that day.”

He was worried that they would come after him, but he said that.

Certainly, judging by how quiet it was, he seemed to have handled it very well, whatever he had done.

When they came out of the back door of the mansion, there was a shabby, old hired carriage.

The old coachman was dozing off in the driver’s seat because of the early morning guest.

Riding that carriage would take him to a safe place where he could hide from Kieren.

He glanced inside and it seemed that no one was riding in it.

He thought there would be an adult to take him, but it was unexpected.

‘Am I riding the carriage alone?’

Well, it didn’t matter.

As long as he got to his destination properly.

Belzeon slowly lowered Chesha to the ground.

Chesha took a small breath.

Then he looked up at Belzeon.

Now it was really goodbye.

He looked at him with affectionate eyes and said.

“Thank you so much.”

He also gave a polite greeting.

He waited for a reply, like, ‘Then let’s part ways.’

But for some reason, Belzeon remained silent.

‘What is it?’

He wasn’t rude enough to ignore the last greeting.

The silence grew uncomfortably long.

Belzeon finally opened his mouth.

“I will go with you too.”

Chesha blinked for a moment.

After doubting his own ears to see if he had heard correctly.

He carefully asked again.

“…Yes?”

Isn’t it?

Say no quickly?

It was a ‘Yes?’ that crumpled up the question.

But Belzeon didn’t bother to repeat it one more time.

He just continued to say what he had to say with a straight face.

“I am simply repaying the favor you have done for me in the same way.”

“F, favor?”

He had done Belzeon a favor.

‘There’s no way!’

Was he dreaming or something?

Belzeon said briefly and quietly, as if he couldn’t believe it.

“…Because you comforted me. I will too, at least once.”

The words were cut off here and there, but it was enough to understand.

‘So you’re saying you’re following me to comfort me?’

Of course, Chesha had given Belzeon lilies of the valley [a type of flower symbolizing purity and happiness] and comforted him when he was crying in the past.

He sobbed like a child for a long time, so he patted him on the side.

‘But I didn’t cry?’

There was no reason to be comforted at all, but Belzeon was acting strangely.

It was as if Chesha was crying and grabbing him, saying he was lonely.

‘I’m going crazy!’

Chesha was about to jump up and down.

‘Why is he really like this?’

He was so embarrassed and dumbfounded that he stood there with his mouth open for a while.

Then he came to his senses.

If he stayed still, Belzeon would really follow him.

Chesha quickly came up with an excuse and threw it out.

“B, but you have to work!”

In fact, Belzeon was in charge of a significant portion of Basilian County’s affairs.

If he left, there would be a significant gap in the County’s work.

He could already picture the secretary and servants looking for Belzeon.

Belzeon was responsible.

He expected him not to leave his poor subordinates behind, but…….

“I wonder.”

Belzeon twisted one corner of his mouth and smiled.

The smile was so similar to Kieren’s that Chesha felt goosebumps on his spine.

“My damn father will take care of it.”

Belzeon, who had been tormented by Kieren, had become corrupt.
