The Baby Runs the Romance Fantasy with Cash- Episode 163

☆ Chapter 163 ☆

“……Bringing out such an unexpected card. But how?”

Tap.

Madam Sarah took a small vial from her bosom and placed it on the table.

“What is this?”

“To explain that, I have no choice but to mention a story from over a decade ago.”

The Empress’s expression hardened at Madam Sarah’s words.

“How… Can I speak about it now?”

“……Leave us for a moment.”

The Empress said to Lady Izel in a stiff voice.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Lady Izel bowed her head and turned around.

Just before taking a step, Lady Izel’s eyes met Madam Sarah’s.

Madam Sarah crooked one corner of her lips upward.

It was the sneer of a victor.

Lady Izel’s eyes fluttered.

But she had no choice but to leave the room without a word.

Madam Sarah chuckled and crossed her legs.

“This is a potion that induces berserker mode. To put it simply, it turns a human into a madman… no, a beast.”

“Berserker mode…? Then wouldn’t he become a madman and slaughter all sorts of people!”

The Empress cried out in horror.

To take out such a heinous drug so casually!

“That’s why it’s good. Wouldn’t Sidrian be committing an irreversible act?”

Gulp.

The Empress swallowed hard.

If that were to happen, Sidrian would be stripped of his title as a prince.

No, what do you mean, stripped?

‘He’d rot in a prison until he dies as a heinous criminal.’

A dangerously dangerous forbidden drug.

But the fruit of it was so sweet.

The Empress stared at the vial with fearful yet greedy eyes.

“What about traces?”

“It won’t work on anyone else. But Prince Sidrian is different. He was under a curse.”

“But I thought that curse had already been broken?”

The Empress looked at Madam Sarah with a dubious face.

She had been told it was an unbreakable curse, so how surprised she was when he appeared unscathed.

“But traces remain.”

“Traces?”

“I didn’t expect it to be broken either, but it’s not a curse that can be undone so easily.”

“…….”

“Scars still remain on the target’s soul, bones, and blood.”

Red lips drew a very sweet smile.

The Empress felt goosebumps.

At times like this, she couldn’t shake the suspicion that she had made a deal with the devil.

But she had already come too far.

And she didn’t regret it.

Even if she could turn back time, she would have taken Madam Sarah’s hand.

To drive Sidrian out!

The Empress slowly smiled.

No more hesitation could be found on her face.

“It’s safe for other people, but it only works on him… That’s very good.”

“The stage should be as big as possible.”

“I’m going to hold a party at the Imperial Palace soon to mark the beginning of the social season.”

“All sorts of nobles will gather.”

“Yes. The Emperor himself attends the season-opening party every time, so all the nobles of the Empire will attend unless there’s a special reason.”

“I’m worried about the Paeraton Duchess.”

“……What do you mean all of a sudden?”

“Aren’t the Paeraton Duchess and Prince Sidrian on good terms?”

“So?”

“If Prince Sidrian goes mad while the two are close together and ends up killing the Paeraton Duchess—”

Madam Sarah smiled.

“Wouldn’t that be a big problem? The Paeraton Duchess is an outstanding talent, no less than a pillar of the Empire.”

Only then did a smile bloom on the Empress’s face.

“Yes, that would be a big problem indeed. Moreover, I heard that Duke Paeraton cherishes his youngest daughter so much.”

“I heard that Marquis Tarenka is also devoted to his only granddaughter.”

“The two families won’t let the murderer get away with it.”

The Empress said in a satisfied voice.

“……But killing the Duchess won’t be easy. Duke Paeraton and the Dukes will be watching with their eyes wide open.”

“So we have to plan the route well that day.”

‘Why does she seem more eager to harm the Paeraton Duchess?’

The Empress nodded, a little puzzled.

Either way, it wouldn’t be bad for her.

Even if she fails to kill the Duchess and ends up with a small wound, it’s fine.

Paeraton and Tarenka won’t stand still even with a small wound, and Sidrian will fall into hell.

‘It will also be a lesson to that arrogant Duchess.’

To dare reject Esteban and choose Sidrian, she’s facing such danger.

‘Paeraton is a family with many uses.’

If the Duchess dies, she can use the Duke’s vengeful spirit to join hands.

Even if it ends with an injury, it’s enough of an incident for the Duchess to change her mind.

‘If she changes her mind and kneels before me, I might accept her into my arms.’

The Empress smiled deeply.

“I always feel like my pent-up frustrations are relieved whenever I meet you. How can you come up with such a plan?”

“I trust you won’t forget me in the future.”

“Don’t be ridiculous! If not you, who else would I remember?”

The Empress laughed and her eyes sparkled.

‘Sidrian… this time, you will never be able to escape. It is your destiny to live in a prison where not a single ray of light enters, and your flesh rots away.’

“Lady Chavonne!”

At my shout, Shin-hyung, who was walking away, stopped.

I ran to Lady Chavonne’s side.

“I’m so sorry that the Lady seems to be very upset about my mistake the other day.”

Lady Chavonne looked down at me with cold eyes.

Why is this middle-aged woman so bad-tempered?

She had been giving me the cold shoulder for over two weeks just because I stared at her once.

“Mistake? Is it all right to just say it’s a mistake after making someone feel uncomfortable?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Just with words? I don’t know if the Duchess is qualified to be a member of Metis [likely a social club or organization].”

“I’ll help if there’s anything I can do.”

I looked up at Lady Chavonne, drooping my eyebrows.

“Really?”

She gave a crooked smile.

“I don’t need the Duchess’s help. But if you’re a true member of Metis, it’s only natural that you have to prove your qualifications.”

No, what are you talking about to someone who already came in because they were qualified?

“How can I prove it?”

“At the upcoming Imperial Palace banquet, famous people from all walks of life will gather in one place.”

“Yes, I’ve heard about it.”

“Prove your abilities there without the help of your family. Then I’ll acknowledge you too.”

In other words, it meant imprinting my presence on people without the name of the Paeraton Duchess.

“Why, aren’t you confident?”

“No. It’s just too simple of a problem.”

“You’re arrogant.”

Lady Chavonne snorted and turned around.

I quietly stared at her back.

She probably doesn’t want to see my performance…

‘Is she trying to separate me from my family?’

To get out of the family’s halo, you have to avoid being together as much as possible.

I shrugged my shoulders.

My family will be a little sad, but it wasn’t a difficult task.

‘Hoo, the other members of are all so nice.’

Some people are a little eccentric, but no one is bad-hearted.

I got quite a lot out of today’s meeting.

‘The problem is that there’s another bomb besides Lady Chavonne…’

“Why are you approaching Lady Chavonne?”

I was startled and turned around at the voice that suddenly came from behind.

“Oh, you scared me.”

Speak of the devil, it was Young Master Kaishen.

The only one who’s very picky about me besides Lady Chavonne.

“Why are you approaching her?”

“Approach? I’ve never done that.”

I tilted my head with an innocent face.

“Isn’t unnecessarily approaching someone you hate a suspicious approach?”

“I’m just talking to you to apologize because I have a history of doing something wrong.”

“Liar.”

Young Master Kaishen stated firmly.

A smooth face that perfectly matched the nickname of the White Rose’s Noble Son came closer to me.

“Luatisha Paeraton. I don’t care what you’re thinking.”

The eyes in his cool, aristocratic eyes were directed at me.

“But don’t approach her anymore.”

It was a clear warning.

“Why?”

“Why?”

He frowned and asked me.

“You, by any chance, are you eyeing Lady Chavonne as your chaperone?”

“Does it look like that?”

“That’s the rumor.”

“Heuung—.”

Seeing me humming strangely and not answering properly, Young Master Kaishen frowned even deeper.

“This is a warning—”

“Zeon!”

I spotted Zeon far away and waved my hand.

Zeon came to pick me up at Mrs. Sherwin’s mansion.

Zeon’s expressionless cheeks were slightly flushed.

‘Look at how happy he is.’

It was so cute that I jumped up and down and waved my hand even bigger.

Zeon hurried his steps, then stopped when he saw Young Master Kaishen.

He started approaching at a faster pace.

‘Oh!’

I lit up at the thought that suddenly came to mind.

And I put my arm around Young Master Kaishen’s arm.

“What are you doing?”

Young Master Kaishen looked down at me with a cold face.

Whatever he said, I laughed and clung to him even more.

“You guys seem to be on very good terms.”

Zeon, who had already approached, said in a stiff voice.

“Ung [yes]! We’re getting along! Everyone was an adult, so Lulu was very lonely, but Felix Oppa [older brother, honorific] took care of me a lot!”

Felix was Young Master Kaishen’s name.

Young Master Kaishen looked at me in disbelief as I suddenly called his name and pretended to be close.

“Really?”

Seueuk.

Zeon moved his gaze and looked at Young Master Kaishen.

His red eyes seemed to burn Young Master Kaishen as it is.

“It’s like Lulu has one more brother? By the way, Zeon and Felix Oppa are the same age.”

Zeon’s jaw tightened.

“Felix Oppa’s birthday is earlier. Then—”

I looked at Young Master Kaishen and smiled brightly.

“Is Lulu’s first brother now Felix Oppa instead of Zeon?”

“You……!”

It was the moment Young Master Kaishen called me in surprise.

“My first brother, not me…….”

Zeon’s red eyes were stained with a dark shadow.

“That bastard.”

Zeon didn’t even raise his magical energy.

But a murderous aura that felt like thousands of needles piercing his skin emanated from him.

A force that coldly froze even the spring sunshine.

Young Master Kaishen’s face hardened.

Cold sweat ran down his temples.

“I’m kidding!”

I quickly shouted and hugged Zeon tightly around the waist.

Uduk.

The murderous aura emanating from Zeon subsided in an instant.

Hugging Zeon, I looked up at him and smiled.

“Lulu’s only first brother is Zeon.”

“…….”

Zeon, who had been staring at my face for a while, lifted me up.

“You surprised me.”

“Sorry.”

I was sincerely sorry because it was a really shocking voice.

Anyone could tell it was a joke.

“Pat me.”

Pat, pat.

Fine black hair scattered between my fingers.

Zeon hugged me tighter and whispered.

“Do a wall-slam too. With ‘that line’.”

“No, that’s…….”

Zeon stared at me silently.

Ugh.

“I, I’ll do it when we get home…….”

I had no choice because I was wrong this time too.

But.

“Do it in front of that bastard.”

“Huh?”

Zeon glared at Young Master Kaishen with a wary face and said.

“She’s my youngest.”

“……Ah, yes.”

Young Master Kaishen nodded with a sullen face.

Zeon put me down as if to show off and leaned against the wall of the corridor.

‘I, is he really going to do it?!’

I looked at Zeon, dripping with cold sweat.

Zeon was waiting for me with a slightly flushed face.

‘Is he excited about this?!’

Why are you excited about this!

But there was no way out for me.

I swallowed hard and rushed straight in.

Kung!

My hand powerfully pointed next to Zeon.

Although it was next to his waist, far below his face.

Although what I was facing was not Zeon’s face but Zeon’s stomach.

Anyway, I trapped Zeon in my arms.

I raised my head and looked up at Zeon and shouted.

“Zeon is mine!”

“Yeah…….”

Zeon nodded blankly.

He seemed very satisfied.

‘Ugh, so embarrassing!’

I could feel Young Master Kaishen’s gaze, which was dumbfounded even if I didn’t turn around.

I couldn’t lift my head.

It felt like steam was coming out of my ears!

Zeon picked me up again.

And he asked Young Master Kaishen very proudly.

“Did you see it?”

“……Uh.”

“Did you hear it?”

“……Uh.”

“Aren’t you jealous?”

Stop it!

The sullenness is coming through in the voice you’re answering with!

“Lulu’s first brother is me.”

Zeon lifted his chin arrogantly and declared as if he had won a war.
