The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 60

A slender finger slowly brushed against Kiernan’s cheek.

Stroking the frozen man’s cheek, she spoke faintly in a fading voice.

“Nothing…….”

Kiernan was unable to move.

As if someone had cast a binding spell on him.

His hardened face slowly softened, and then a sharp laugh burst out.

A laugh so sharp, one could believe it contained blades.

Kiernan, who had been laughing like a madman, smiled brightly.

A beautiful smile like a flower containing poison.

“Then die in front of me.”

He gripped the hand that touched his face.

He grasped the thin, withered fingers and shouted.

“Even if you die, die in front of me!”

Kiernan, who shouted as if spitting out blood, trembled.

Inside the room, hot enough for sweat to flow with the heat from the fireplace and brazier.

He spoke, shivering as if he had been cast out alone into a snow-covered field on a winter night with a blizzard raging.

“Please…….”

He uttered a weak plea in a greatly diminished voice.

“Please, just don’t say you’re leaving.”

Karha slowly took a step back.

He couldn’t hear any more.

No, he didn’t want to hear it.

A throbbing pain arose in his heart, an unbearable ache.

Mom wants to leave?

Abandon us?

Abandon Father, Belzeon, Ishuel, everything?

His head felt like it was about to explode.

He was in so much pain that his vision was spinning, and he didn’t know what to do.

When he came to his senses, he was in the middle of the Black Forest.

In the darkness of the gloomy forest, strange cries were heard.

Karha, barely regaining his sanity from the cries of the monsters, gasped for breath.

A cold chill ran through his sweat-soaked body.

A chilling shiver ran down his spine, and he trembled all over without realizing it.

After panting and catching his breath for a while, Karha opened his lips.

“Why…….”

An incomprehensible question fell from his lips.

But there was no answer.

Only the eerie sounds of the monsters slowly crawled up.

Karha retraced the scene he had witnessed.

Kiernan, smearing his face on his mother’s hand and begging, looked endlessly weak.

It was a sight that no one would have imagined of the arrogant ruler of the Black Forest.

But his mother did not waver.

She simply stared at Kiernan, who was shouting like a madman, begging, getting angry, and pleading, all in repetition.

The gaze watching was calm.

Even though Kiernan was rampaging in front of her, she was endlessly still.

Karha had an unusually good sense since birth.

Before understanding with logic or reason, he could know it by intuition.

Those were eyes that would never waver.

Mother had made up her mind.

No matter what he did, even if the men of the Basilian family took their own lives one by one in front of her…….

Mother would not change her mind and would leave Basilian.

“Ugh.”

His vision spun.

He knelt on the dirt floor and vomited.

He threw up everything he had eaten all day, until only stomach acid came out.

Tears welled up in his eyes from the violent vomiting.

He wiped his lips with the back of his hand, then suddenly looked at the floor.

The flowers he had picked were scattered there.

Mixed with the muddy vomit, rotten leaves, and black soil, they were a disgusting sight.

The flowers were no longer fragrant or fresh.

‘I won’t be able to give Mother a gift.’

That was the first thought he had.

And then another thought followed.

‘What does that matter?’

Maybe Mother didn’t want a gift.

Maybe she was just pretending to smile at the forced affection…….

In fact, it was just speculation.

If Mother had a dislike for receiving gifts.

He, with his sensitive senses, would have noticed it long ago.

But Karha couldn’t trust himself.

He might have been blinded by his one-sided affection for his mother and seen it wrong.

While the other person was living in a cold, achromatic [lacking color] reality, he might have been alone in a rosy dream.

“…….”

Karha stared blankly at the ruined flowers, then squeezed his eyes shut and stepped back.

He leaned against a tree that had fallen with its stem broken, trying to control his rampaging heart and thoughts.

But he had to open his eyes again before long.

The Black Forest was not a suitable place to find quiet peace.

The growling sounds of the monsters gradually approached.

Karha’s intuition constantly sent numerous signals.

Where, what, how many, how are they approaching.

It poured out warnings so much that his skin tingled.

Karha frowned.

The smell of the deepening monsters was so strong that his nose stung.

He slowly rose from his seat and drew his sword.

Holding swords in both hands, he stared into the darkness.

Then he suddenly realized.

That what he wanted now was not quiet peace.

The Black Forest was a place that could give Karha what he needed most.

Karha did not cry.

Instead, he laughed.

His jagged fangs shone unusually through his grinning lips.

His small body soon leaped forward.

***

That the dead Countess had abandoned Basilian.

What Chesha had vaguely imagined was a beautiful tragedy.

A sad but beautiful story of a sick and weak Countess parting with her husband and children.

However, judging from Karha’s words just now and Kiernan’s reaction today, it was not normal.

“If I didn’t do anything wrong…….”

“Why did you abandon me?”

Whether he recalled something from the past in response to Chesha’s words.

Kiernan’s already fragile mind shattered like a cookie.

Thanks to that, in the midst of numerous holy knights, holy priests, and inquisitors watching, he almost unleashed magnificent black magic in the temple.

“Anyway, well, that’s it.”

Karha, who had detonated a bomb with his words no less than Belzeon who had blown up the Basilian mansion, shrugged as if he hadn’t said anything special.

“So, let’s take our brother and go home.”

He even came to a conclusion arbitrarily with a refreshing attitude.

Belzeon, who had been keeping his mouth shut in bewilderment, slowly retorted.

“…But the inquisitors.”

“That’s only if Father is exposed as a black magician, right?”

It was an extremely correct statement.

While Belzeon was speechless, Ishuel took Karha’s words and continued.

“Even if the Basilian family is destroyed, we can take responsibility for our brother and send him out.”

Ishuel persuaded Belzeon in a soft voice.

“Brother, how long are you going to keep running away like this? You saw it earlier, right? At this rate, Father will really go crazy. He’s not normal now either.”

“That’s right. Anyway, Father can never save him, right? And I wasn’t going to say this, but to be honest, since he’s not even human, it’s much more difficult. It’s bound to fail. I can feel it.”

The twins were busily chattering together.

Chesha, who was listening to their collaborative persuasion, felt something was strange.

‘Wait a minute.’

Chesha raised one hand slightly.

The chattering twins closed their mouths.

“Moga is not a person…?”

When she pointed out the words that had caught her ear, a flustered look crossed the faces of the three brothers all at once.

“…Ah.”

Karha, who had made a slip of the tongue, was sweating profusely.

“The baby doesn’t know, right.”

He rolled his eyes at the gazes of the other two brothers, then suddenly started acting brazenly.

“But shouldn’t the baby know now? We’re going to do Basilian.”

They had never agreed to do it.

But because she was curious, she didn’t refute it for now and waited to see what he would say.

Belzeon sighed and nodded his chin.

It was a sign to just tell her.

“Actually, our mother.”

Karha shrugged and revealed the secret.

“Is a fairy.”

“…?”

Chesha blinked.

And just before she fully understood what she had heard.

콰쾅!

A huge roar shook the temple.
