Lord Baby Runs A Romance Fantasy With Cash [EN]: Chapter 322

Running the Romance Fantasy with Baby’s Cash Side Story (1)

Side Story 1

The Paeraton Duchy in the North.

The massive ducal castle was gloomy and cold, like an old, faded jade.

A man was walking through the place where no human warmth was felt at all.

‘…To think the castle, imbued with the glory of Paeraton, would change this much in a single morning.’

The man, Baron Erkel, looked at the dark hallway with a heavy heart.

‘It’s just like before the young lady came home.’

Before four-year-old Ruatisha came to the Paeraton Duchy.

The ducal castle was desolate, without even the sound of a child’s laughter, let alone a trace of human presence.

It was Ruatisha who instantly made that place lively and bright.

The child who melted the frozen North in an instant with a bright smile like sunlight.

‘If only the young lady were here…’

Baron Erkel squeezed his eyes shut.

Now that they had lost Ruatisha.

The Paeraton Castle was like a ruined wasteland.

In fact, it was in worse condition than the ducal castle of the past.

How could those who had lost the sun live properly?

‘Moreover, we couldn’t even protect that sun…!’

Baron Erkel’s face twisted in pain.

He moved his reluctant steps and passed through the hallway.

Turning the corner, he saw a room with a faint light leaking out like a ghost.

Baron Erkel carefully opened the door.

The only light illuminating the dark room was a mirror crystal.

Five men stood like stone statues in front of it.

Inside the mirror crystal, an existence that could not be seen here was smiling brightly.

[Ruru will live with Daddy forever!]

Ruatisha Paeraton.

The youngest of the Paeraton ducal family said that, reaching out her hand with a bright smile.

The Duke of Paeraton unknowingly reached out his hand towards his daughter in the mirror crystal.

However, all that touched his hand was the cold, inorganic surface of the mirror crystal.

“….”

The Duke of Paeraton’s face was distorted with despair.

However, Ruatisha in the video made a cheerful flower 받침 [flower 받침 is when you put your hands under your chin to make yourself look cute] without knowing anything.

[Ruru flower!]

Hic.

“…?”

Baron Erkel turned his head at the small sound of crying.

Zeon was pressing his reddened eyes.

‘Zeon Paeraton is crying…!’

Is this a sign of the world’s destruction?

No, even if the world doesn’t end, the Paeraton ducal family already felt like it had been destroyed.

“Ahem, Duke, Marquis, and Young Masters.”

Baron Erkel, the loyal servant of Paeraton, opened his mouth to break this atmosphere somehow.

“I understand your feelings, but you must be firm, especially in times like these.”

“Firm? How can we be firm when Ruru flower is 꺾이다 [broken or wilted]?”

“My youngest isn’t by my side.”

“In a situation where I can only meet my sister through video, there’s no meaning in living.”

“If you’re going to say that, give me back my cotton ball.”

“Baron Erkel, watch your words.”

Cold sweat ran down Baron Erkel’s back as he became the target of the five men in an instant.

He clenched his feet, wanting to step back, and endured.

‘The young lady told me to take good care of the remaining family before she left…!’

She asked him to take care of the remaining family.

“Th, the young lady who is far away wouldn’t want this either. She would want her family to be well.”

“….”

The Duke of Paeraton bit his lip with a painful face.

His gaze turned to the window.

The night sky was filled with dense stars.

The Duke of Paeraton opened his mouth, capturing the particularly bright star in his eyes.

“Yes, my daughter would definitely want that. Because she is a kind child.”

“Your Grace….”

“She is a child who will brightly illuminate this father, even from a place as far away as the stars in the sky.”

At the Duke of Paeraton’s words, all the family members looked at the stars in the night sky.

A pitiful and miserable gaze as if looking at the Ruru star.

Cold sweat ran down Baron Erkel’s back again.

It was a different kind of cold sweat than before.

In the end, Baron Erkel couldn’t stand it and shouted.

“No, if you say that while looking at the stars, it sounds like something terrible has happened to the young lady!”

He himself was immersed in emptiness, looking at the ducal castle without the young lady, but isn’t this a bit of an overreaction!

“The young lady just went on a trip with her fiancé!”

At those words, the family members turned to Baron Erkel with fierce faces.

Five pairs of eyes flashed fiercely.

“If that’s not a big deal, then what is?”

Baron Erkel calmly stepped back at the sight of the growling beasts.

If nothing else, he knew one thing for sure.

That he was in the biggest trouble right now.

* * *

“Umm….”

The gently blowing wind tickled my hair pleasantly.

I slowly opened my eyes.

“You’re awake?”

‘Wow…’

I admired inwardly at the face I saw as soon as I opened my eyes.

Slightly disheveled hair.

A perfect face without any puffiness even in the morning.
The firm pectorals and abs visible between the casually worn shirts were very—

‘Ugh, I almost had a nosebleed from the morning.’

I quickly turned my head.

Then, Sid’s palm followed my face.

“…?”

“I thought it would be dazzling.”

Sid smiled slightly as he said that.

‘Ha.’

He still doesn’t know.

Your face is more dazzling than the morning sun!

I got up and said.

“Were you blocking the sunlight all the time? You could have just kept the curtains closed. Your arm must be sore.”

“Then I can’t see my master’s face well.”

“What, were you watching me sleep? You should have woken me up.”

I was embarrassed and wiped my mouth slightly.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem like I drooled while sleeping.

“I overslept on the first day of the trip, so you must have been bored.”

“It was fun.”

“Huh?”

“To the point where it would be nice to just keep watching you like this.”

“…?!”

What kind of posture did I sleep in?

I couldn’t have been talking nonsense, right?

How much would it take for someone to say that my sleeping 모습 [mosup – appearance] is fun?!

‘My sleeping habits can’t be that bad?!’

“What’s wrong?”

Sid asked, looking at me groaning.

“No, well……. What did I say?”

“Hmm?”

“No, while sleeping— well, did I say anything strange?”

Sid’s eyes narrowed at my words.

He paused for a moment, lost in thought, then smiled strangely and said.

“You did say something.”

“Wh, what did I say?”

“Do you want to know?”

“…….”

I didn’t want to know.

I didn’t want to know.

If possible, I didn’t even want to know that I was talking in my sleep.

“You told me to contribute to humanity.”

“Huh…?”

Sid is the Crown Prince.

As the successor to Joseon administration, who grinds 임금 [imgeum – wages], I naturally thought that the Emperor and Crown Prince should work hard to take good care of the people.

‘But to say that in my sleep?’

It’s not like I’m always thinking about that?

Sid smiled at my puzzled look.

Swish—.

He leaned towards me.

I could see the firm muscles moving between his shirts.

The bed tilted as weight was applied.

The distance was so close that I could feel his body heat.

Sid’s breath touched my ear.

The fine hairs stood on end.

The moment I unknowingly stopped breathing.

A slightly husky, languid voice whispered to me.

“To do that, we have to have at least twelve children.”

“……!!!”

Wh-wh-wh-whack—!

My face flushed in an instant.

Sid, who had made the bombshell remark, smiled and retreated leisurely.

Leaving behind the bewitching words—.

‘D, did I really talk like that in my sleep?!’

“No, are you kidding?”

“Maybe.”

“Aren’t you lying?!”

“Do you think so?”

“…….”

Honestly, I wasn’t confident.

That’s because—

‘—I’m planning to do that anyway!’

To the point where I keep thinking about it unconsciously and it comes out in my sleep.

Sid muttered, looking at my face.

“I guess you’ve been thinking about that all the time.”

“Huh?”

“I’m a little happy.”

“You’re lying that I was talking in my sleep!”

“Is that important now?”

Sid grinned.

The face with slightly furrowed brows was incredibly sexy.

‘Not twelve, but fourteen— what!’

I tried to come to my senses.

But Sid’s languid face in the morning and Sid’s body that was slightly visible between the white shirts were too stimulating.

“His Highness the Crown Prince is subtly a fox, a fox [cunning/sly].”

“Subtly what. I’m openly a fox.”

“Ruatisha is completely fooled by that fox짓 [fox-like behavior].”

My friends’ words flashed through my mind.

I glanced at Sid with a flushed face.

Sid smiled brightly.

“We should get married soon, right?”

“……I don’t like husbands who lie.”

“How about a husband who makes coffee?”

Sid handed me a cup of coffee.

A tray with a fancy brunch was a bonus.

“Wow….”

Brunch in bed is the romance of all romances.

And the reality was more perfect than the romance.

Coffee that was moderately bitter and had a good flavor, and warm French toast.

And a handsome, cute, and sexy husband.

‘If it’s this much, it’s perfect—.’

“It would be a perfect married life, right?”

Sid said, putting a tangerine in my mouth.

I stopped while eating the tangerine.

‘This tangerine is a little frozen?’

It was also a tangerine with all the membranes removed, only the plump flesh.

Suddenly, Sid’s words from the past came to mind.

The words he said while seducing me before we were even engaged.

“If we get married, let’s sleep together every night and wake up together every morning. I’ll bring coffee and brunch to bed in the morning. Master drinks coffee every morning.”

“I’ll really do well. If you marry me, I’ll cut fruit for you every day and massage your legs. No. Just don’t walk. I’ll carry you around.”

“I’ll take off every single white thing when you eat tangerines. I’ll even peel off all the tangerine membranes and freeze them. I can freeze them right away.”

‘……I thought he was just saying anything at the time.’

Even though quite a bit of time has passed since then, Sid remembered everything.

And he’s really doing it.

“Why? Should I make it colder? It’s a bit hot because it’s the South, right?”

As if it were perfectly natural.

Well, Sid wasn’t a man who made empty promises.

Especially if the other person was me.

“His Highness the Crown Prince is serving brunch. I’m too honored because it’s too luxurious.”

“I’m my master’s slave before I’m the Crown Prince.”

“Are you still saying that?”

“Still? I’m going to live as my master’s slave for the rest of my life.”

Sid continued, putting a new tangerine in my mouth.

“If I were to add a new 직군 [jikgun – job title/position] here, would it be my master’s husband?”

“Is this a preview of married life?”

“Yeah, how’s the rating?”

Sid had already picked up my 말투 [malto – way of speaking].

I grinned.

“Hmm, not bad?”

“I have to work harder to get a 10.”

Sid said that and hugged me.

“Sid?”

“I told you not to walk. I’ll carry you around.”

“No, really?”

“Everything I say to my master is sincere. Always.”

I was about to tell him to put me down, but I quietly entrusted my body to him.

Honestly, the firm arms and firm chest that stably support my body feel good.

There are only two of us here.

And…….

‘Sid’s face that I can see right in front of me is…….’

It was the moment I glanced at Sid.

Our eyes met.

Sid twitched his eyes and whispered in a lowered voice.

“……Don’t seduce me.”

“What did I do.”

“You’re seducing me now.”

“No, I— 읍……!”

The lips that were protesting in disbelief were blocked.

Hot lips pressed down on my lips.

Soon my lips became just as hot.

The hand that wrapped around my waist tightened.

I unknowingly pushed my hands between Sid’s hair at the feeling of tingling to the tips of my toes.

We touch each other more deeply.

The sour and sweet tangerine flavor made my head dizzy.

The moment my hand, which had been rummaging through Sid’s hair, tightly gripped his shirt.

쾅!

The door opened with a loud noise.

“Mama! Papa!”

I was startled by the childish voice and pushed Sid away.

Sid fell off guard due to the Sword Master’s strength.

“Mama?”

“Ni, Nike!”

“Mama, why is your face so red?”

“O, oh? Just because it’s hot.”

“Why is it hot?”

Nike tilted her head and looked at me with innocent eyes.

I felt a sense of guilt, so I quickly changed the subject.

“Wh, what’s our Nike doing here?”

Why is a child who should be eating Hermes Jjacks [Korean snack] and cookies in the duchy here?

Nike’s eyes sparkled at my question.

“Nike heard!”

“Wh, what?”

“You’re having a second child!!!”

“……Huh?”

“Nike’s sibling!”

……What 생 [saeng – short for saenggak – thought/idea]?!
