Lord Baby Runs A Romance Fantasy With Cash [EN]: Chapter 332

Running the Romance Fantasy with Baby Cash Episode 11

“I heard Lulu is engaged to Rihan.”

“……”

“Of course, you must be taken aback. Lulu has been overly affectionate with you, even with a fiancé, right?”

Chaeria approached Nabi and whispered sweetly.

“Lulu has always been like that.”

“……What?”

“She’s always been a bit like that with this man and that man.”

“……How do you know?”

Chaeria was stung by Nabi’s suspicious gaze.

‘I’m trying to help! Why do you look at me like I’m just jealous and making things up…!’

“It was all written down! In her diary—no, I mean!”

Chaeria, who had been blurting out everything in a rush, stopped.

She cleared her throat and continued.

“You’ll only get hurt if you interfere between them.”

“Hurt? Me?”

Nabi scoffed.

Chaeria didn’t give up.

Unlike Ruatisha, she was genuinely trying to help this man.

“I just don’t want you to get played in Lulu’s fishbowl and get your heart broken.”

Nabi was dumbfounded.

Was this girl imagining some kind of love triangle?

It was such a peaceful and mild delusion that it was almost laughable.

That kind of thing couldn’t hurt him.

“Honestly, it’s obvious from the side. You’re interested in Lulu, aren’t you? You’ll only get hurt if you love someone like that.”

Chaeria looked up at Nabi with sincere, pitiful eyes.

“Why should I listen to someone like you?”

Nabi said coldly.

There was no need to clear up misunderstandings with a girl who was indulging in idle fantasies.

Judging that she wasn’t worth his time, Nabi turned away.

‘Love?’

A hollow laugh escaped him at the absurdity.

‘Do you think I’d let such a trivial and insignificant emotion hold me back?’

Having repeated time countless times, Nabi had seen and experienced too much.

Love was just another manifestation of selfishness.

Just a different name to pretend to deceive oneself.

‘The reason I’m interested in that woman isn’t because of that.’

Nabi knew what was going to happen.

After repeating the regression so many times, the future never deviated from his expectations.

But.

“Who knows? Maybe your future will be full of flower paths? To an excessive degree.”

“You never know what might happen?”

Just once.

Only this time, out of all those regressions, was different.

A woman appeared, far exceeding his expectations.

Hair as soft as flower petals, the color of pink.

Blue eyes of a hue he had never seen before.

Too unrealistic to be human, and so.

“A humanoid monster?”

“Hey, calling your grandma a monster!”

Even though he had repeated the same life so many times, he still didn’t know what would happen.

And that only variable—

‘Ruatisha.’

Nabi couldn’t afford to miss this variable that he had barely discovered after dozens of repetitions.

That was all.

It was then.

“……So you’re not going to give up.”

Chaeria’s voice rang out from behind him.

For some reason, it sounded clearer than before.

As if it had gained strength.

Nabi frowned and turned around.

“Then I’ll help you.”

Chaeria smiled brightly and approached Nabi.

One step, one step, slowly.

“I’m a fellow stranger like you. I want to help you. Okay?”

A sweet fragrance wafted from Chaeria.

She moved her body close to Nabi.

Soft skin and gentle touch.

The moment she embraced Nabi’s arm.

Thwack—!

“Eek!”

Chaeria, pushed away by the rough hand, landed on her bottom.

Chaeria, with tears in her eyes, looked up, startled.

“……!”

“You’re going to help me? Someone like you?”

The black eyes looking down at her were like an abyss.

A chilling gaze that made her feel like she would fall endlessly the moment she stepped into it.

Nabi looked at the trembling Chaeria as if she were a bug before turning away.

Step, step.

The sound of him walking away was clear.

However, Chaeria remained on the ground, unable to get up.

“……”

Her head hung low, her body still trembling.

But the next moment.

“That’s too much.”

The corners of her lips lifted into a smirk as she raised her head.

“But you’re going to move according to my will anyway.”

In Chaeria’s brown irises, a greenish glint flickered as she chuckled.

* * *

“So.”

My dad cut my piece of cake and said.

“I heard the Crown Prince and that bastard had a bloody fight.”

‘Bastard’ was referring to Nabi.

I quickly took the cake my dad cut for me and replied.

“They didn’t.”

This time, Ixion pushed a drink towards me and said.

“I heard the Crown Prince completely crushed that guy?”

“He didn’t.”

Zeon brushed the bread crumbs from the corner of my mouth and said.

“Isn’t it clear who won and lost?”

“As expected, His Highness the Crown Prince is the right person to lead this country.”

“Yeah, there aren’t any decent men, but the only one that catches my eye is His Highness the Crown Prince.”

“……?”

Even Grandpa and Ares joined in praising Sid?

‘It feels like a trap.’

Above all, the fact that everyone was respectfully calling him ‘His Highness the Crown Prince’ without any hesitation was really suspicious.

Especially considering the special treatment Sid had received while living with my family.

Even then, my family was still siding with Sid.

“His Highness the Crown Prince won completely.”

“He didn’t just crush him, he annihilated him!”

‘……Could it be that they’re trying to frame Sid as violent by laying the groundwork?’

You should only side with him to a certain extent to make them think you’ve gotten closer.

There must be an ulterior motive for doing this much.

‘Honestly, my family is…… harsh on Sid.’

“I told you, they didn’t fight. Sid’s not a kid, why would he fight a guest and a patient?”

At that, my family paused and looked at me.

Especially Ixion and Ares’ expressions were worth seeing.

‘Hehe, the reactions of those whose ulterior motives have been exposed! But I’ve already completely figured it out!’

But.

“……They must have fought? There’s no way Cotton Ball wouldn’t have stopped them, saying ‘Lulu is cute’.”

“Yeah, there’s no way my sister would fill her precious memories with other scoundrels.”

Ixion and Ares asked me at the same time.

“Right?”

“……”

I swallowed hard.

A danger alarm rang loudly.

I entrusted myself to instinct.

“……Sid and Nabi had a bloody fight!! It was truly a bloody tragedy!!!”

“See, right?”

“Yes!! The ground turned over, the sky collapsed, and a bloody storm raged!!!”

“Oh dear. That must have been terrible.”

“But I couldn’t help it. Because I absolutely! Absolutely didn’t stop them!!!”

Ares and Ixion nodded with satisfied faces.

It was then.

“Oh my, oh my, oh my!”

A tremendously joyful exclamation was heard from the doorway.

Turning around, Nancy, Tilda, and Laura were standing there with their cheekbones raised to the fullest.

“Two men over the young lady!!”

“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!!”

“Isn’t this the first time? Since the young masters and His Highness the Crown Prince would only look at you, and you’d be busy tucking your tail.”

“But a bloody fight, no less!!!”

“Oh my, oh my, oh my!!”

The three of them grabbed each other’s hands and left the tea room, squealing.

“No, that’s not it!”

I belatedly reached out, but the three of them had already run off towards the end of the hallway.

Soon after, squealing sounds began to be heard from the end of the hallway.

That’s right.

As befitting the maids of a romance fantasy world, they were all crazy about love stories.

Especially if it was a love triangle, they couldn’t get enough of it.

“Triangles are the most perfect shape in the world!”

I remembered my sisters’ faces as they spoke dreamily.

Of course, I, as a romance fantasy reader, agreed.

‘……Well, whatever.’

It’s enough if my sisters are happy for even a moment.

Anyway, it’s just a rumor, so it’ll disappear soon.

I sighed and sat down.

Time to recharge with some sugar.

At this time, I had no idea.

The tremendous aftermath that my complacent response would bring.

* * *

After finishing tea time, I returned to my room.

And opened the quest window.

It was a sudden quest I received when Chaeria mentioned to me that Viscount Dierre was a slave.

〈Back and Forth, This Way and That〉

Dear Reader!

You’re not seriously telling me you didn’t feel any sense of incongruity as a romance fantasy reader, right?

I told you not to twist my words, but even if you don’t twist them, it’s just being a jerk, isn’t it?

Isn’t she basically telling you that you’re doing something below your level and without common sense right now?

It’s a complete direct hit without even twisting it once?

Of course, there’s no way I wouldn’t have noticed that she was being a jerk.

I’m more fluent in romance fantasy young lady speak than Chaeria, you know?

But Chaeria recently gave the reader a sincere apology and changed her mind.

But this kind of provocation.

Could it be that Chaeria is a split personality?

Is she belatedly experiencing a turbulent adolescence as she goes back and forth?

Or is there another problem?

Please find out, Reader!

-Condition: Check Chaeria’s mental state

-Reward: 5000 Cash Gacha Ticket, Linked Quest 〈???〉

“Hmm……. Chaeria approached Nabi in the garden earlier, right?”

At my question, something suddenly popped up in the empty air where no one was.

“Yeah, she approached him.”

A voice so languid and gentle that it felt sweet.

A long, sturdy arm moved gracefully like a wild leopard, twisting my chin.

“Like this, very intimately.”

As the tall man lowered his head, my body was entirely covered in his shadow.

The vertically elongated pupils smiled thinly.

“Like between me and Darling.”

“Get off.”

I slapped away the man, Cain’s, arm.

Cain looked at me with aggrieved eyes.

“That’s too much! I told you because I received Darling’s request!!”

“I didn’t ask you for this.”

“I just recreated the situation at that time.”

“Did Chaeria grab Nabi’s chin and whisper intimately in his ear?”

“No? I just wanted to do that to Darling, so?”

Cain winked.

I had nothing to say since he was coming out so confidently.

“Anyway, Darling definitely likes me.”

“I don’t.”

“You say no with your mouth, but your body is honest. It’s clear that you called me, not the unlucky spirit or the rude celestial being, saying you needed help.”

“……The more you open your mouth, the more I regret it, so shut up.”

“Hmm, maybe I’ll shut up if you block my lips with your lips?”

Cain licked his lips.

Seriously…… annoying.

“Should I block them with my fist?”

“Oh, is that your taste? I’m fine with enjoying it with Sid too.”

Ha.

I really regret it.

‘But checking her aura is the most important thing.’

Chaeria can’t be a threat to me no matter what she does.

Unless Kiyas Edel used a trick before disappearing.

That’s why I called a demon, an expert in fraud.

‘It’s frustrating that I used the precious cash I collected while nursing Nabi to call this guy.’

I can collect more cash through the Nabi vending machine.

I sighed and asked Cain.

“So, did you find out?”

* * *

Several days later.

Nabi sat on the bed, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Ruatisha.

‘Engaged to that man.’

Ruatisha herself said he was her husband, and other people also said they were engaged, so it was certain.

Of course, that wasn’t an obstacle for Nabi in any way.

He had no sense of ethics.

He had repeated his life dozens of times in a chaotic world where parents killed their children and children killed their parents.

All moral concepts had disappeared.

In fact, compared to the countless murders he had committed, stealing a woman with a fiancé was a very mild act.

However.

‘It bothers me.’

The fact that this woman has a fiancé.

The face that looked at that fiancé with such sparkling eyes.

I don’t know why it bothers me so much.

“Nabi, lift your arm a little. I’m going to reapply the bandage.”

Ruatisha was taking care of him very diligently.

Nabi stared intently at her focused face.

Now I understand.

This face is a face without any ulterior motives.

It was completely different from the way she looked at Sid Rihan.

‘……It really bothers me.’

Ruatisha’s hand brushed against Nabi’s armpit and side.

A light touch that he might not even have noticed.

Completely different from Chaeria, who clung to him in a sticky and greasy way.

He was so unpleasant when Chaeria touched him.

Why now.

The moment Ruatisha’s touch was about to move away.

Nabi unknowingly grabbed Ruatisha’s arm and pulled her.

“Ah……!”

Ruatisha’s body reflexively leaned towards him.

The dropped bandage spun in the air.

When Ruatisha barely supported herself by grabbing the bed.

“Oh my goodness……!”

Screams were heard from the open doorway.

Ruatisha looked up with surprised eyes.

People were gathered like clouds in front of the door.

Not only family members, Sid Rihan, and the Duke’s retainers and maids—

‘Tiriel? Jasmine?’

Her friends.

And.

‘His Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Empress?’

Only after seeing people’s expressions did she realize.

That her current posture looked like she was attacking a naked Nabi.
