The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 177

“Ah……”

Chesha parted his lips in a daze.

He wasn’t quite a full-grown adult.

With a physique of about fifteen or sixteen, there were still traces of youthfulness in every corner.

However, now Kieren didn’t have to kneel, and Chesha didn’t have to be held to meet each other’s eyes.

He could completely embrace him with his long arms.

Chesha, who had been examining his suddenly grown self, soon looked at Kieren.

“……”

He had a blank look on his face.

With unfocused eyes, he stared blankly at Chesha standing in front of the roses for a long time.

He knew without being told who he was seeing overlapped.

He must resemble his mother a lot.

Kieren smiled weakly.

As if the tension had been released, his straight shoulders slumped down.

He whispered quietly with eyes stained with longing and affection.

“…Beautiful.”

With that faint whisper, Kieren’s body slumped.

“Dad!”

Chesha was startled and caught him.

A body that had completely lost its strength fell with a heavy weight.

Chesha, who caught him, was so surprised that his heart almost burst.

After quickly checking, he realized that he had simply fainted.

Chesha, sighing in relief, looked down at his forearm.

Even in his unconscious state, Kieren didn’t let go of Chesha’s hand.

Chesha couldn’t help but smile at the hand that held him so tightly, as if he would never let go.

‘I really came back.’

It finally hit him.

Chesha had returned home.

***

Count Vasilian stormed out of the banquet hall with a crazed look in his eyes.

He shook off those who grabbed him and tried to stop him, even rejecting the Emperor’s hand, and left the banquet hall.

The inside of the banquet hall buzzed with Count Vasilian’s actions.

It wasn’t just a matter of breaking etiquette.

It was an act of disrespect committed at the Emperor’s birthday banquet, no different from insulting the imperial family.

Of course, Count Vasilian had crossed the line several times before.

But he was always cunning.

He only moved enough to hide his tracks or shift the blame onto others.

Even those who suspected Count Vasilian as the mastermind couldn’t accuse him because they didn’t have any solid evidence.

He was the type who always watched leisurely from a step back and manipulated the situation as he pleased.

It was the first time that such Count Vasilian had openly caused an incident like this.

Those who witnessed the unprecedented situation were busy talking about the strange behavior committed by Count Vasilian.

They gathered to celebrate the Emperor’s birthday, but no one paid attention to the Emperor, who was the main character.

Even the Emperor was restless, wondering why Count Vasilian was acting like that.

The main focus of the banquet had completely shifted.

“Damn it……”

In the midst of the murmuring noise, Marquis Nemea gritted his teeth.

Earlier, when the Count rolled his eyes like a madman and strode out,

Marquis Nemea blocked his path.

“Count Vasilian!”

He called his name loudly as if scolding him, but Count Vasilian didn’t care at all.

He even rejected the Emperor’s hand, so it was perhaps natural to ignore his call.

Marquis Nemea couldn’t bear the rising anger.

It wasn’t the first time Count Vasilian had acted like this, but he was particularly angry today.

The fact that he ignored him in front of everyone endlessly irritated the Marquis.

The Marquis, so angry he couldn’t control his expression, eventually left the banquet hall.

Even when he came out to the garden and felt the cold night breeze, the heat inside didn’t subside easily.

His sons and daughters, Sionel and Theo, who had quietly followed the Marquis, carefully spoke.

“Father.”

Sionel handed a handkerchief to Marquis Nemea.

The Marquis roughly wiped the sweat that had formed on the bridge of his nose with the handkerchief.

“Are you alright?”

The moment Theo asked, following Sionel,

“You incompetent bastard!”

Marquis Nemea let out a thunderous shout.

He roughly pushed Theo’s shoulder, who flinched.

With such brutal force, Theo had to take several steps back.

“You should have grabbed Count Vasilian too!”

It didn’t make sense.

Theo, who had even been stripped of his position as the head of the security forces, was just a son of the Marquis family.

How could Theo catch Count Vasilian, who even rejected the Emperor’s hand?

It was just the Marquis venting his anger because he was embarrassed.

Even though he knew the absurdity, Theo couldn’t say anything.

He just shut his mouth and accepted the Marquis’s violence.

Merciless punches fell on his stomach, thighs, and forearms, which were not easily visible, rather than his face.

“……”

Theo swallowed his painful groans.

He briefly met Sionel’s eyes.

His proud sister looked at Theo with pity.

She would pat and comfort Theo and treat his wounds after the Marquis’s beating was over.

But that was it.

She didn’t block the Marquis’s path.

She didn’t step forward to protect Theo, but just watched from behind.

Theo, who had been silently enduring the violence, suddenly thought of Vasilian.

“Don’t bully Ggomdor [a term of endearment]!”

A small child who bravely stepped forward with a body that wasn’t even the size of Theo’s forearm and protected him.

I wonder where Chesha is…….

Theo’s eyes became blurred.

He shouldn’t have let Chesha leave that day.

He had even readily agreed to the request to come to the Nemea Marquis family…….

He always missed him, but suddenly he wanted to see him unbearably.

The longing was so intense that tears welled up in his eyes.

The time he spent with the people of the Vasilian family was a happier and more enjoyable time for Theo.

The sweet time a year ago now felt like a distant dream from the past.

His nose tingled as he recalled a time he could never return to.

Theo frowned and swallowed his tears.

“Are you showing off that you’re in pain with just this much!”

Marquis Nemea, who mistook him for wincing in pain, shouted and kicked Theo.

Eventually, Theo had to fall to the dirt floor, making his neatly dressed banquet attire look out of place.

It was when he thought that the Marquis’s venting was longer than usual.

“You’ll kill him at this rate.”

A nonchalant voice interjected.

Marquis Nemea, who was rolling up his sleeves and putting his heart into the beating, was startled.

He was a Marquis who paid a lot of attention to his external prestige.

Therefore, he never showed the sight of punishing Theo in front of others.

Even this time, he punished Theo in a corner of the garden where people didn’t pass by.

Even if his emotions were heightened due to the punishment, Marquis Nemea, who was an excellent knight, didn’t even notice the approaching sound.

“…Who are you.”

The Marquis hurriedly straightened his clothes and looked back at the other person.

The person who walked out from the darkness was a man he had never seen before.

The moment he saw his leisurely gait, Theo flinched.

‘…Huh?’

It can’t be, but why…….

‘Karha?’

Could it be that the second son of the Vasilian family came to mind?

While the surprised Theo was frozen, the man nodded.

“Anyway, stop there…. I’ll take your son for a while.”

The man with red eyes pointed directly at Theo with his finger.

“I have something to say.”

“…I asked who you are.”

Marquis Nemea, lowering his tone, glared sharply at the man.

“You better answer first if you don’t want to die.”

The man burst into laughter at the threat sent with fierce eyes.

“Ah, yes. Then try killing me. But…….”

The man smiled crookedly, raising the corners of his mouth so that his pointy fangs were revealed.

“I don’t think you have the skills to do that, Marquis?”
