Lord Baby Runs A Romance Fantasy With Cash [EN]: Chapter 334

Extraneous Chapter 13

Ruatisha looked at Chaeria again in surprise.

Chaeria’s hair was black as usual.

It was as if the sparkle from before was a mirage created by the sunlight.

Chaeria, meeting Ruatisha’s eyes, changed her expression and said, feigning a complaint.

“Lulu, how could you leave me alone with your friends? It was so awkward.”

Chaeria, drawing closer, glanced at Raphael.

“Did you abandon me suddenly because of this man?”

“…….”

“Lulu, you’re really something. After what happened today…….”

Raphael frowned, looking at Ruatisha with eyes that plainly asked, ‘What’s with her?’

But Ruatisha’s eyes remained fixed on Chaeria.

Her paraiba-colored [a shade of blue-green] eyes scanned Chaeria’s face as if playing a hidden picture game.

Chaeria looked back at Ruatisha, a silent question in her gaze.

Looking the same as usual.

‘……Did I see wrong?’

Ruatisha averted her eyes from Chaeria.

And then—

‘—If I just let it go like that, I wouldn’t be a romance fantasy reader!’

She clenched both fists.

As a romance fantasy reader, you shouldn’t miss even the smallest hints.

‘If I just brush it off thinking I saw wrong, it will come back as an even bigger frustration later!’

Ruatisha questioned Chaeria.

“Chaeri, didn’t you say you found something strange about me?”

“Huh?”

“You said you found a strange book or something before.”

“Ah…….”

Chaeria nodded, her face awkward.

“It was just my mistake.”

“Mistake? You mean it wasn’t a strange book?”

“Yeah, it’s not like the book talks or walks around. What’s so strange about it?”

“So, there’s a book then?”

“……!”

Chaeria’s eyes wavered.

Ruatisha smiled.

“Can I see the book once?”

Chaeria’s face hardened slightly.

Looking at that face, Ruatisha enunciated each word clearly.

“That book isn’t yours anyway.”

“What?”

“Nothing here is really yours, is it? The clothes you’re wearing, the food you’re eating, the room you’re staying in. It’s all mine.”

“…….”

“Right?”

Ruatisha smiled brightly.

Chaeria’s face twisted like a demon’s,

As if she couldn’t bear to hear those words.

* * *

Sidrian’s room.

Even though it was broad daylight, the room was dark.

It was all because of the thick energy emanating from the room’s owner.

Baren and Nemesis glanced at each other, swallowing hard.

Through long periods of learning, they knew very well that they should not touch Sidrian at times like this.

The only person who could touch Sidrian at this moment was one person.

But only one person could make Sidrian like this.

Baren, unable to withstand the parched nerve endings, shouted, eager to choose a side.

“Ugh! This time, the Princess is at fault! How could she do this to Your Highness!”

“Still, it must be a misunderstanding. The Princess wouldn’t commit infidelity.”

“That’s right! If she liked another man, she would have kicked Your Highness away first! Coolly!!”

“…….”

Sidrian’s eyes snapped to Baren.

Baren, who was laughing heartily, quickly shut his mouth.

Nemesis sighed.

“But what are you going to do now?”

“That man was a formidable opponent.”

“Looking straight at Your Highness and hugging the Princess’s waist is quite cunning.”

“Considering that other men couldn’t even lift their faces in front of Your Highness until now…….”

A dark shadow fell on Sidrian’s face.

He looked like he was about to run out and kill the butterfly [a metaphor for the other man] right away.

“No, Your Highness.”

Nemesis hurriedly stopped Sidrian.

“If that man gets hurt, the Princess will take care of him instead.”

“And the Princess will be disappointed in Your Highness for hitting someone.”

“In this case, instead of dealing with the opponent—.”

“You have to seduce her more!”

Nemesis and Baren passionately exclaimed.

“You’ve been doing well as we told you, right?”

“……You have to seduce her cunningly and make her anxious. You must never act according to your own desires.”

“Yes, you are doing well. Don’t forget that you can never rest assured until you enter the wedding hall.”

“But it’s strange.”

Baren stroked his chin.

“If you seduce her with Your Highness’s face and body like that, the Princess shouldn’t be able to escape.”

It was normal for her not to have the mind to nurse another man.

“Anyway, you have to seduce her more.”

“Not by harming the other man, but by making the Princess have no choice but to approach you first. Cunningly and breathtakingly.”

Nemesis and Baren nodded, looking at Sidrian as if there was no better strategy than this.

But.

“I don’t want to.”

Sidrian said firmly.

The two were taken aback by the unexpected answer.

“You don’t……want to?”

“To receive the Princess’s love—.”

“I said I don’t want to.”

“O-Of course, you’re angry, but still…….”

Who is Sidrian?

Isn’t he a man who can’t live without Ruatisha?

Sidrian was still taking care of that clumsy bouquet of flowers, using all sorts of crazy methods to keep them from withering.

The reason why they were telling him to seduce Ruatisha like this was all for Sidrian’s sake.

Because Sidrian can’t be separated from Ruatisha.

But.

“I don’t do that anymore now.”

Nemesis and Baren swallowed hard as they looked at Sidrian, who was speaking coldly.

‘What, what is it? Is he really angry with the Princess?’

‘Could it be that they’re going to break up like this…….’

‘Eh, no way.’

Even while thinking that, the two trembled with anxiety.

It was the first time they had seen Sidrian being so cold about Ruatisha’s affairs.

* * *

At that moment, Chaeria’s room.

“Here.”

Chaeria handed the book to Ruatisha.

Ruatisha opened the book.

‘……Nothing is written on it.’

The blank book looked like a slightly fancy notebook.

Ruatisha placed her hand on the book and quietly focused her senses.

There was no particular power felt.

‘There’s no trickery either…….’

Chaeria asked with a confident face, as if daring her to find something.

“There’s really nothing special, right? It’s just an ordinary notebook.”

“Wait.”

Ruatisha infused the power of Pasa [likely a magical energy source] into the book.

A huge energy permeated the book and then dissipated.

‘……There’s no reaction to the power of Pasa either.’

When she glanced at Chaeria, her face was even more triumphant than before.

Ruatisha said slowly.

“I guess so. It’s just an ordinary notebook.”

“I told you so. You don’t trust me; that’s too much.”

Chaeria took the book from Ruatisha’s hand.

Ruatisha just stood there blankly, perhaps shocked by the unexpected result.

Chaeria saw that and laughed inwardly.

‘Am I a fool? As if I would do something that would get me caught.’

Even mentioning that there was a strange book was a planned event.

With this, Ruatisha would have completely dispelled her suspicions.

Because she even used the power of Pasa to check it herself.

‘That means this body is mine forever.’

Until she fully regains her power, Ruatisha won’t interfere.

The day when they reunite in a perfectly awakened state was something she was looking forward to so much.

‘How pitiful and funny will her face be when she sees me then?’

Chaeria chuckled.

* * *

Clack.

The door closed behind her.

“Ruatisha.”

When she raised her head, Raphael was looking at her.

“Be careful of her.”

“Huh?”

“No, I trust your judgment, but you know. When I looked at it, there was nothing wrong with that book or whatever.”

Raphael was the youngest Sword Master.

It was easy for him to raise his aura and examine it without pretense.

Raphael lowered his head towards her.

“Because she’s annoying when she talks.”

At those words, she chuckled.

“Don’t worry, Raphael. I…….”

“Yeah. Don’t worry.”

A languid voice cut in between her and Raphael.

A black figure rose from her shadow.

“Because I’m by Darling’s side.”

Cain smiled, resting his chin on her shoulder.

Before she could shake her shoulder off, Raphael pushed Cain away.

Cain dodged leisurely and winked.

“Hmm, do you want to get in between us too? I’m okay with Sid, but you……. Oh, but you’re quite a strong human? Maybe it’ll be okay.”

“Never mind that. How was it?”

At her question, Cain shrugged.

“It’s the same as what Darling saw. I don’t feel any trickery. But.”

“Not feeling it doesn’t mean there’s nothing, right?”

“Bingo.”

Cain winked.

“Above all, she confessed it herself.”

“Confessed?”

Raphael asked her, puzzled.

“It’s strange to say that it’s ordinary while showing the notebook, right? It’s not that there’s nothing special, but it’s like there’s definitely something.”

“Ah, definitely!”

“Besides, she wasn’t surprised at all when I used the power of Pasa.”

“……!”

Of course, she had never used the power of Pasa in front of Chaeria.

Because there was no need to use it.

Chaeria shouldn’t even know that she had such power.

“Instead of being surprised, she became even more confident.”

“It’s like she knows what you did.”

The reason why she used the power of Pasa even though she couldn’t feel the trickery was this.

To see Chaeria’s reaction.

“Above all, the current Chaeri looks too much like someone I know very, very well.”

Chaeria’s personality was great in many ways.

But she wasn’t as sinister as she is now.

“Nothing here is really yours, is it? The clothes you’re wearing, the food you’re eating, the room you’re staying in. It’s all mine.”

The expression she made when she was reacting to ‘mine’ was definitely a face she knew well.

‘It’s been a long time, my cousin.’

Chaeria is not Clatie.

And for her, who is a romance fantasy reader, this situation was familiar.

‘A villainess possession at this point.’

[Quest completed.]

The notification window popped up as if to tell her that her thoughts were correct.

[A new quest has arrived.]

She checked the quest details and smiled.

“First of all, there are many guests in the Duke’s mansion, so we should hold a welcome party first.”

* * *

The grand banquet hall of the Paeraton Duke’s mansion.

Ruatisha sighed deeply.

‘Sid is nowhere to be seen.’

Strangely, she couldn’t spend time with Sid after that day.

‘It’s not strange. He’s definitely avoiding me.’

She sighed again.

‘I need to talk to him properly and clear up the misunderstanding…….’

It was then.

Nabi approached Ruatisha.

Ruatisha frowned.

“I told you not to come near me, right? What if Sid misunderstands again!”

“Why bother with a guy who misunderstands and turns away from his own woman?”

“…….”

“It’s rude to leave a woman alone here, right?”

Nabi held out his hand.

Ruatisha frowned.

“Get away.”

“Have I ever listened to you?”

With those words, Nabi grabbed Ruatisha’s hand tightly.

As if he was her partner.

It was then.

Someone grabbed Ruatisha’s hand and pulled her into his arms.

“……!”

A familiar embrace and a familiar scent.

But a rough attitude that she had never seen before.

Ruatisha’s eyes widened.

“Don’t hold hands with other men without my permission.”

A growling voice that she had never heard before.

Sidrian’s purple eyes stared at Ruatisha with hot heat.
