Lord Baby Runs A Romance Fantasy With Cash [EN]: Chapter 341

Extracurricular Episode 21

Cheria looked up at Sidrian with a provocative smile.

Sidrian, who had been quietly looking down at her, lowered his head towards Cheria.

Luatisha stared blankly at the scene.

Little by little, their lips drew closer.

Luatisha’s eyes widened in shock.

Tension filled her entire body.

The moment Luatisha clenched her fist tightly…

“……!”

A large hand wrapped around Luatisha’s. “Don’t do it.”

Nabi, who had approached from behind, asked, “Why are you hurting yourself?”

Nabi clumsily unfolded Luatisha’s fist. Her palm was marked with nail prints from how tightly she had clenched it.

‘A pathetic woman, foolish to the core,’ Nabi thought.

The red marks embedded in her white, delicate hand that had never held a sword made Nabi frown.

“You should resent and blame the things that torment you,” Nabi said.

“Nabi.”

“Not hurt yourself.”

“That’s not what I meant…….”

“Isn’t it?”

Nabi lifted Luatisha’s hand up, so Luatisha could see it.

Luatisha’s blue eyes trembled pitifully.

“Really, that’s not what I meant…….”

It was then that a thunderous voice echoed through the heavens.

“WHO MADE MILADY SO PISSED OFF!!!! MILADY’S DESIRE FOR BLOOD AND CARNAGE HAS SUMMONED NIKE!!!!”

With a dignified cry, a cute and adorable mythical creature [a being of legend and great power] appeared in the air.

Nabi, watching the scene, turned his head to Luatisha.

‘See, I told you that’s not what I meant!’ Luatisha thought, a strange sense of embarrassment washing over her.

Of course, that didn’t mean her desire for blood and carnage had disappeared. Nike, who keenly sensed Luatisha’s emotions, shouted confidently.

“Is it you guys? You little punks who pissed off Milady!!!”

Nike’s eyes shook as he confirmed the identity of the opponent.

“P, Papa?!”

Nike’s Papa was standing there, embracing a strange woman, as if they were about to kiss.

“Nike’s Papa, Nike’s Papa…… how could you…….”

Nike’s big eyes welled up with shock.

“Papa, I hate you!!!! Nike doesn’t have a Papa anymore!!!!!!”

Paak!

A thick forepaw slapped Sidrian.

Luatisha, witnessing the scene, thought even amidst the shock, ‘I need to treat Nike well.’

Mythical creatures… they really tear people apart…

* * *

A commotion broke out.

After finally calming Nike down, it was the family’s turn.

“I told you, the day my sister sheds tears, I’ll make living more terrible than dying.”

“I was a fool to trust you.”

“……Should I just kill him?”

Ares, Ixion, and Zeon pressured Sidrian. Not a single person tried to stop them, even at the mention of killing the Crown Prince.

The Phaeton Duke, who had been quietly watching the scene, called out to Luatisha.

“Lulu.”

“……I’m okay, Dad,” Luatisha forced a smile.

The Phaeton Duke felt his heart being torn apart at her weak smile.

“I’m really okay, so everyone, have a good trip. We have to go to the Imperial Palace tomorrow for the Blessing Ceremony.”

“But-!”

The Phaeton Duke stepped forward the moment Ixion tried to say something more.

“Luatisha.”

“Have a good trip, Dad,” Luatisha smiled. It reminded him of a long time ago when he had rushed to end the war and pick up his daughter. His daughter was smiling like that back then.

“B, but- but could you please take me with you?”

Her face was pale, and she forced a smile as if she was okay. Her small body trembled.

It’s the same as back then. No, it’s different.

“You’re my dad!”

Unlike back then, when she would get angry and hug his legs, Luatisha can’t do anything. She can’t even get angry, and she can’t hug him, she just-

“Please buy me an éclair on your way back.”

Desperately.

“……I’ll be back.”

The Phaeton Duke patted his daughter’s head and left the room, taking his sons, who seemed to have a lot more to say, with him.

Clatter.

The door closed.

Now, the only people left in the room were Luatisha, Cheria, and Sidrian.

“I’m sorry, Lulu,” Cheria said in a tearful voice. Even in the midst of all this, she was clinging tightly to Sidrian’s side.

“But love is always moving, isn’t it?”

“…….”

“Sid just loves me now.”

“……You’re really still the same.”

Cheria chuckled at Luatisha’s words.

“Are you blaming me? If we’re going to point fingers at who’s at fault here, it’s you.”

“…….”

“You should have tried harder to keep Sid from loving me. Then this wouldn’t have happened.”

“…….”

“No, you shouldn’t have been greedy without knowing your place in the first place. Ah, but that might be too much for you?”

Cheria giggled and straightened her body, which had been leaning on Sid.

“But I still have affection for Lulu.”

‘A very, very deep affection of blood relations,’ she thought.

“I’ll give you two some time to sort things out. No matter how hard you try, Sid will love me anyway.”

Cheria smiled lightly at Luatisha and left the room.

* * *

Before the door was completely closed, Luatisha’s pathetic voice was heard.

“Sid, what’s wrong?”

“…….”

“……Do you hate me now? Don’t do this to me…….”

Cheria savored the voice like music.

‘To be clinging on like a bug,’ she thought. It’s the first time she’s seen Luatisha, who was always so annoyingly confident, acting like this.

‘Ah, I should have filmed Luatisha’s face with a video stone [a magical device for recording images].’

Luatisha’s eyes were empty with despair. What if she had kissed Sidrian like that?

‘Ha, if that presumptuous mythical creature hadn’t interfered…….’ Mythical creatures are a nuisance, both in the past and now.

“What exactly are you plotting?” Cheria turned her head at the voice she heard. Nabi was glaring at her with a frown.

“That’s what I should be saying. Why aren’t you moving according to the plan, and what have you been doing?”

The situation had turned out better, but it was really dizzying earlier. It would have been fine if Luatisha had appeared after she had completely taken control of Sidrian. If she had come even a little earlier…….

“I moved according to the plan. The power you gave me was the problem.”

“What?”

“The power didn’t seem to have much effect?”

Cheria frowned. Nabi wasn’t deceiving her because she clearly felt the power that Nabi had given her being released back then.

‘Tch, it wasn’t enough to bind Luatisha’s mind.’ The power of the Pasa [likely a magical artifact or ability] was really annoying.

“Well, at least Luatisha lost her lover, right? Good luck.”

“…….”

“Try to make it yours this time. Isn’t the opportunity when the opponent is weakened?”

Nabi frowned as if he was displeased.

“If you don’t like that, you can just take it by force. For example……,” Cheria’s fingertips tapped Nabi’s chest as they went up.

“Even if it means killing him?” Cheria smiled as she placed her hand on Nabi’s cheek.

Tap-!

Nabi slapped Cheria’s hand away. Cheria chuckled and obediently stepped back.

“Good luck.”

Cheria turned her body and walked down the hallway. It was time to move busily. Even though the power didn’t work on Luatisha, there were no setbacks.

‘Anyway, looking at Luatisha’s state, she’s completely out of it.’ Luatisha was not in a state where she could pay attention to anything else. She was cunning and quick-witted and always got in her way, but this time she won’t be able to do anything.

‘Just keep crying in despair,’ she thought. Hanging on to Sidrian, unable to think about anything else, floundering in shock.

‘And everything will find its way back to its original place.’ The dirty Aftanes Saintess [a derogatory term for Luatisha] will disappear, and everyone will look up to her as the true representative of God.

‘At the Saintess’s Blessing Ceremony held tomorrow!’ Cheria hugged her diary and smiled sweetly.

* * *

The next day, the Saintess’s Blessing Ceremony arrived. It was an event held to welcome Luatisha, who had returned to the capital after a long time.

People gathered with excited faces.

“They usually don’t hold a Blessing Ceremony like this even when they come to the capital, what’s going on?”

“Could it be that they’re making a major announcement?”

“A major announcement?”

“Like the news of a second child that we’ve all been hoping for.”

“……Heok!” People covered their mouths with surprised faces.

“When will the Prince and Princess’s birth banquet be held? I need to clear my schedule.”

“……Shouldn’t we get married first?”

Soon, the Blessing Ceremony began. The faces of the people who were waiting for Luatisha and Sidrian to appear with excited hearts turned puzzled.

“Huh?”

“Why is only the Saintess here…… Where is His Highness the Crown Prince?”

The people who were looking around stiffened.

“Ch, Cheria?”

“Why are Cheria and His Highness the Crown Prince together…….”

“And so close to each other.”

Everyone frowned at Cheria, who was clinging to Sidrian so closely that the word “intimate” was not enough to describe it.

Of course, the people who were most shocked were different.

“Why is the Captain really like that?”

“Just yesterday, he was so happy to receive a note from the Princess and went out…… This is not like the Captain at all.”

It was Baren and Nemis.

Nemis, who was talking, paused.

“Come to think of it, he wasn’t like the Captain even when he received the note yesterday.”

“What? He was just being a Captain, giggling at the Princess’s note.”

“That note. How were we able to see it?”

“……!”

Baren’s eyes widened.

“We never got to see the contents of the letters or notes that came from the Princess before.”

“Yeah, he was so crazy about trying to see it all by himself. I almost got my wrist cut off when I picked up a letter from Surah before without knowing it! That extreme possessiveness!”

“He tried to see it all by himself to that extent. But yesterday…….”

“We could just see it all. Without my eyes being gouged out or my wrist being cut off.”

Why?

The two people’s suspicious gazes turned to Sidrian.

It was then that the High Priest came out with the sacred object to be used for the blessing, just before Luatisha received it.

“Hehe, thank you for bringing my power back, Luatisha,” Cheria stepped forward.

Shuuuuuuk!

Red power gushed out from the sacred object and was sucked into Cheria—to be exact, into the book she was holding!

“Th, this is……!”

“Fraud! It’s a fraud!” People shouted in surprise. Luatisha was among them.

“Cheria, you……!” Light entered Luatisha’s eyes, which had been dark and sunken like a moving doll. She quickly drew up the power of the Pasa.

‘It looks like you’ve finally noticed, but it’s already too late,’ Cheria chuckled and whispered, wrapping her arms around Sidrian’s neck, “Sid, that mean kid is trying to kill me.”

“…….”

“Sid, kill her for me, okay?”

Sidrian’s gaze turned to Luatisha. Luatisha shook her head with a pale face.

“Sid, no, right? You’re not going to attack me…….”

However, Sidrian approached Luatisha with a cold face. Cheria watched the scene, cackling.

‘What are you going to do? Are you going to die at Sid’s hands like this? Or are you going to kill the lover you love so much with your own hands to survive?’ Either way, it seemed like it would be fun.

Just in time, Sidrian reached out his hand, as if he was going to strangle Luatisha’s neck right away.

“……!”

Luatisha’s body tilted, losing its balance at Sidrian’s touch. And, with a sound of “tchok,” their lips overlapped.

Sidrian took his face off slightly and asked Luatisha, “How was it?”

“It was really annoying.”

“Then I’ll have to make my master feel better.”

Once again, their lips overlapped, hotly.

Cheria’s face distorted.

“Wh, what is this…….”

What on earth is going on?
