Lord Baby Runs A Romance Fantasy With Cash [EN]: Chapter 316

☆ Chapter 316 ☆

“You’re just surprised. It’s okay, tell me.”

Youngsoo, in the form of a child, wiggled his fingers and said,

“He’s talking to the Emperor. The Crown Prince, living with his wife’s family.”

“No, he’s not living with his wife’s family.”

Youngsoo, who said that, and Youngsoo, who looked exactly alike except for the color of their fur, shook their heads.

The ears on top of the two baby Youngsoo’s heads and the tails on their butts wagged.

“It’s not living with his wife’s family, it’s that the daughter—the granddaughter should live in a comfortable place. She’s suffered too much.”

“The Empress is coming and getting angry. The Imperial Palace will be the child’s home. She’s going to live with her.”

“The in-laws can never be the child’s home.”

“The Emperor got scolded. The Emperor is sulking.”

Hmm.

Why can I picture the Emperor sulking after being scolded?

‘I didn’t really want to imagine it.’

Anyway, what’s certain is that Dad and Grandpa went to the Imperial Palace to cause a ruckus, saying they’d make Sid live with his wife’s family.

‘I thought they were secretly plotting behind my back, but I never imagined they were plotting to make the Crown Prince live with his wife’s family.’

Even though he hadn’t ascended the throne yet, Sid’s position was as good as the Crown Prince.

After the chaos was settled, they were planning to hold the Crown Prince’s enthronement ceremony.

I swept back my hair and apologized to Sid.

“Sorry. My dad and grandpa are just a little too worried.”

“I like it.”

“What?”

Sid tilted his head and smiled slyly. Sunlight pooled on his cheek.

“Living with your wife’s family is something you do after you get married, right?”

He leaned towards me.

Because we were sitting side by side, the distance became excessively close.

A pleasant scent brushed the tip of my nose.

The warmth of another person.

Little by little, shapely, bright red lips approached. Closer, even closer.

Lips that tickled my lips as if they were about to touch slowly brushed past my jawline and reached my ear.

“I like being wherever you are.”

A soft whisper.

Sid only raised his eyes to look at me.

I blankly stared at the dense golden eyelashes and the deep purple eyes beneath them before belatedly regaining my senses.

“Wh-who, who said I’d marry you?!”

I jumped up from my seat!

I could feel my face burning, blazing hot.

“I, I haven’t even thought about it?!”

My heart felt like it was going to explode.

I quickly moved my feet.

“Ruatisha.”

Sid’s call made my legs stick to the floor.

“You need to take this with you.”

A large hand with bulging veins gently brushed my wrist and then gripped my hand.

Goosebumps rose.

His fingers dug between my fingers before slowly falling away.

A solid video stone was placed in my palm, but my nerves seemed to be focused only on the soft flesh between my fingers.

On that spot where his warmth remained.

“Let’s put on a shawl too. The wind is getting chilly.”

Sid draped a lace shawl over my shoulders.

Reflexively, I grabbed the shawl, and he pulled out a strand of hair that had gotten inside.

As he did, the hard tips of his fingers brushed my neckline and collarbone.

‘……Ugh.’

I bit down hard on the soft flesh inside my mouth.

Is he doing this on purpose?

Or am I just too aware of it?

I shouldn’t have read that 15+ novel last night.

Sid, who had finished arranging my hair, took a step back from me.

So nonchalantly.

“And I want to marry you.”

He smiled.

“I have for a long time.”

Purple eyes looked at me.

The face reflected in them—.

“I’ll, I’ll think about it.”

I was making a face that even I was seeing for the first time.

I deliberately passed by him with a sulky expression.

“Miss? You’re out early?”

“Huh?”

“……Did something good happen?”

“No?”

“Okay…….”

Anna trailed off in a strange tone and nodded.

Then, she suddenly grabbed the hand I was using to get into the carriage.

“Miss, you have to take me with you wherever you go……?”

“Huh?”

Anna was my personal maid, but she wasn’t an external attendant.

I wasn’t planning on bringing Anna with me today either, but she said she wanted to come along, so I brought her.

I was wondering why she was suddenly like this, but I soon understood.

So many things had happened while dealing with Kiyas Edel, and she had even heard that I almost died, so she must be anxious.

“Okay.”

Feeling sorry for her for no reason, I squeezed Anna’s hand tightly.

Anna smiled as if relieved and glared at the building I had come out of.

‘……?’

Why is she glaring?

Anyway, I got into the carriage and cooled my hot cheeks.

“And I want to marry you.”

“I have for a long time.”

Sid’s voice lingered in my ears.

Why is even his voice so nice?

Suddenly, my face reflected in the carriage window caught my eye.

A different face than when I was in front of Sid.

But this expression was also unfamiliar to me.

Ah, really.

‘Why does the corner of my mouth keep going up?’

The carriage sped along as recklessly as my heart.

After staring out the window for a while, watching the scenery change rapidly, I tilted my head.

‘What is it? I feel like I’ve forgotten something…….’

After thinking about it, I realized.

‘Ah, that’s right. The Youngsoo!’

I left the baby Youngsoo behind.

* * *

“That’s too much!”

“That was bad!”

The baby Youngsoo perked up their ears and tails and tapped me with their cotton fists.

I hugged the babies and patted their butts.

“Sorry, sorry. I was out of it.”

Sniffle, sniffling.

The Youngsoo looked at me with tearful eyes.

Hmm, I shouldn’t be thinking this while looking at the babies crying because they’re upset, but—.

‘Cute……!’

Is it because they’re still babies that their transformation is immature?

They transformed into human form, but they were even cuter because they still had the ears and tails of Youngsoo.

‘But when I think about it, it’s not like I took them, they came to where I was on their own.’

When they came, they were banging on the window as if they were going to break it, telling me to open the door quickly.

Coincidentally, it was at the timing when Sid and I were about to kiss.

I was amazed at how well they timed it, even though it was a coincidence.

‘……Youngsoo are different from humans. Since they came on their own, it’s not like they’re exactly lost—.’

“Hooeeeeng!”

“Ogu ogu, sorry, sorry.”

At the sight of them crying, I erased my doubts and patted the babies.

It was then.

“To cling and whine like that. Don’t you have any pride as Youngsoo? Pathetic.”

The angels, who never failed to invade my home, said as usual.

“Pathetic? To babies.”

When I scolded them, the demons who were entering after the angels snickered.

“What babies? Just by looking at them, you can tell they’re grandpas and grandmas who are at least 7,000 years old.”

What?

‘Not 7 years old, but 7,000 years old……?’

I looked down at the babies who were in my arms, sniffling.

The innocent babies suddenly frowned and turned their heads away.

“Tch.”

Did they just click their tongues?

“They know you’re weak to babies, so they deliberately make themselves look like that.”

“I wish we could change our appearance freely besides getting rid of our wings.”

“That’s a very demonic thought.”

The angels and demons started bickering.

It’s so peaceful today too.

“You cowardly Youngsoo bastards!”

Along with a sharp wind, Hermes Jjack’s roar echoed roughly.

“To deceive Jjuin [Master] in the form of a child! I won’t forgive you, Jjack!”

Youngsoo and spirits were especially on bad terms, but Hermes Jjack was more excited than usual and flapped his wings.

“What’s wrong?”

“Those guys ate all my cookies, Jjack!”

Hermes Jjack trembled.

“I was saving them! The ones with lots of raspberries and white chocolate chips! I, I thought they were babies…….”

Hermes Jjack was also deceived.

Raspberry white chocolate chip cookies were Hermes Jjack’s favorite cookies.

I didn’t give them to him often because they were bad for his beak, so he always saved them and saved them and saved them to eat.

‘But they even knew to give way to the Youngsoo they hate because they were babies…….’

Is it because I’ve been taking care of Nike since he was an egg?

“Hey grandma, grandpa. How can you take a kid’s stuff?”

“Buttt…….”

“I wanted to eat cookie too.”

The Youngsoo looked up at me with tearful eyes.

‘Cu, cute…….’

“And Hermes Jjack is the same age as me…….”

“Honestly, he’s so fake too.”

“…….”

Who taught the Youngsoo these words?

It was then.

“Mama’s baby is only Nikeeeeee!!”

Nike came running and chased away all the Youngsoo who were on my lap.

‘Come to think of it, Nike was an adult too.’

I remembered Actsharakhen being disgusted that a grown-up was making baby noises.

From the Youngsoo’s point of view, isn’t the strongest king acting like a baby?

When I glanced at the Youngsoo, they weren’t amazed……they were completely terrified.

‘Is Nike that scary?’

No way.

Our Nike is completely innocent, kind, and only knows her mom.

“Mama?”

Nike looked up at me, turning her belly over.

‘Whatever. Nike is a baby.’

I scratched Nike’s belly.

“……That guy is the biggest problem.”

“Ugh, seriously goosebumps.”

“Scary.”

“I’m afraid he’ll come out in my dreams.”
Hmm.

When are they going back to their homes?

‘Did I waste all my cash for nothing?’

Honestly, the angels are healing the injured, so they’re still helpful, but the rest…….

The Youngsoo and demons, who don’t even dream that I’m thinking they’re useless, smiled brightly.

I was drinking coffee and flipping through the newspaper when an article about me and Sid was plastered all over the front page again today.

‘How many months has it been?’

I shook my head and flipped through the article without even reading it.

It’s not like it’s a gossip magazine, why is a daily newspaper continuing to report this kind of content?

I roughly skimmed the headlines, but there was no special news.

“Good morning, Miss.”

“Good morning, Azul.”

After receiving a brief report about the Ansur Merchant from Azul, I came out of my room and went down to the lobby.

In the lobby, there were piles of gifts again today.

“These were sent by His Highness the Crown Prince.”

“He heard that the Saintess’s throat was dry, so he made tea with flowers he grew himself in the garden.”

Sid’s servant smiled as he handed me a letter.

“Tell him thank you.”

I replied in a slightly cold tone.

Hmph.

What’s the point of continuing to give gifts?

‘I haven’t even been able to see him for weeks!’

I hugged a bouquet of flowers from Sid among the gifts and returned to my room and collapsed on the bed.

The scent of the flowers was too good again.

That’s why I was even more annoyed.

‘No, why can’t I see him, why!’

Esteban became the Crown Prince and was still so free that I didn’t even want to run into him, but I ran into him just fine.

Sid is so busy that I haven’t even been able to see his face for weeks.

For the first week or so, I went down to Paeraton Territory and did this and that, and I worked hard to root out the administrative work of the temple while I was at it—.

‘How many weeks has it been, really!’

There was no guarantee when I would meet him either.

Will I be able to meet him next week?

Or next month?

‘……No matter how busy you are, isn’t it too much not to be able to meet for even 5 minutes?’

Now I was beyond angry and depressed.

“Miss, you’re supposed to meet your friends today.”

“That’s right…….”

I got up from the bed.

The maids started to comfort me when they saw that I was listless.

“You’ll feel better if you meet your friends and chat for a while.”

“That’s right. You’re staying overnight today, right?”

“Yeah…….”

I nodded.

I want to see Sid.

I want to see him, but I don’t want to see him because I’m resentful.

‘……But I still want to see him.’

Huh.

Bad guy.
