Extraneous Story of Running Romance Fantasy with Baby’s Cash (22) – (342/353)

Extraneous Story 22

* * *

Cheria couldn’t understand the situation she was in.

Everything had been perfect.

There had been a few variables, but she had handled even those perfectly—no, even better.

Today was the day she would reap the rewards.

‘The day I trample the filthy Ruatisha and become the master of this world…!’

And yet.

Ruatisha and Sidrian were still kissing passionately.

The two were hungrily yearning for each other as intensely as lovers reunited after a long separation.

They were completely lost in their own world, without a care for Cheria.

“How dare they…!

“Gritting her teeth, Cheria gnashed them.

Ruatisha barely managed to push Sidrian’s shoulder and part her lips.

As if savoring Ruatisha wasn’t enough.

Sidrian’s lips chased after hers as they moved away.

Their lips met again.

“Ha, wait, ugh…”

The intense kiss scattered Ruatisha’s voice into her breath.

Preventing her from saying enough.

Eventually, Sidrian released her lips only after Ruatisha vigorously pounded his back.

“Haa…”

Sidrian looked at Ruatisha with a slightly sulky face.

Ruatisha made an effort to avoid his gaze and looked at Cheria.

Her gaze was as confident as ever, but her cheeks were red and her eyes were wet with the afterglow of the kiss.

Cheria was even angrier at the sight.

To be ruining the work she had built up, enjoying a kiss instead of focusing!

Ruatisha smiled brightly and said.

“Thanks for taking your power, you’re welcome.”

“You-”

“Actually, I should be the one thanking you.”

“…What?”

“Thank you. For gathering all the power of Kiyasedel, who had been hiding like a rat.”

Ruatisha stared straight at Cheria and slowly enunciated.

“Klatier.”

“…!”

Cheria—no, Klatier’s pupils trembled.

She had thought she had completely fooled them.

Even so, she hadn’t let her guard down.

One failure was enough.

She had used Sidrian to distract Ruatisha so that she wouldn’t notice until the very day of the event!

But.

‘She knew all along…?’

While preparing for today, Ruatisha had never once suspected her.

Rather, she had helped.

Unaware of her intention to find Kiyasedel’s legacy, she foolishly guided her…

‘That was, she was tricking me in reverse?!’

Klatier stared at Ruatisha with a pale face.

Ruatisha was smiling.

The confident and self-assured smile that Klatier hated so much!

‘A bug should be cowering like a bug!’

To think that the wretch who couldn’t even lift her head properly in front of her was now staring straight at her!

“Klatier, you mean… that pseudo swindler [fake con artist]?”

“It’s not just a pseudo swindler. She even used fraud to try to destroy the world!”

“But Klatier is already dead, right? As a price for accepting the evil god into her body…”

“She must have been resurrected somehow. That nasty red power from before, it was a scam, right?”

Klatier snapped out of it at the people’s murmuring.

Ruatisha wasn’t the problem right now.

Klatier spoke with a pitiful face.

“Everyone, don’t be fooled.”

Faaaaaaat!

Red power burst forth from the book Klatier was holding.

A sinister power that felt nauseating just by its presence.

People hurriedly stepped back and covered their mouths.

But.

“This power is merely a blessing from God. A sacred and noble power of blessing.”

It was strange.

When Klatier said that, it really seemed that way.

A young lady approached the power as if possessed.

The red aura touched her fingertips.

“Ah, it’s such a warm power. I can feel God’s grace…”

The young lady mumbled with a dazed face.

That was the beginning.

“I feel power surging! I feel like I can do anything!”

“What is this? This power…”

“Just touching it like this…”

People mumbled with blank faces.

Klatier smirked as she watched them.

‘You shouldn’t think I’m the same as before.’

By now, Ruatisha would be flustered by the unexpected reaction of the people.

‘I’m sorry, but this isn’t the end.’

Sidrian hadn’t fallen for it, but there was another piece she could move.

“Felix.”

Felix was her prisoner and faithful servant, who only followed Klatier!

“You’ll grant me everything I want, right, hmm?”

Klatier whispered sweetly into Felix’s ear.

Her touch gently and softly caressed Felix’s cheek.

“You know, Zeon Paeraton seems to be after me. The way he looks at me is too…”

Of course, Zeon would try to kill Felix without hesitation the moment he was attacked.

But Ruatisha would stop him.

‘It would be nice if someone died in the process.’

How much would Ruatisha suffer?

In that gap-.

“Am I crazy?”

“…Huh?”

Klatier looked up at the unexpected voice.

Felix was looking down at her with a cold face.

“Am I crazy? To grant everything you want. Oh, and get your hand off me.”

Felix slapped Klatier’s hand away.

“And why would Zeon be after you? Maybe he’s after your life. He has high standards.”

“Wh-what…”

Klatier was flustered.

Ever since coming to the capital, Felix had been completely infatuated with her.

“Felix, look at me.”

Klatier grabbed Felix and made eye contact.

But Felix didn’t react at all.

Rather, he pushed Klatier away irritably.

‘Why?’

Her power was stronger than when she first seduced Felix.

An ordinary person would have been completely bewitched!

“Unfortunately, I was born to follow the Successor [referring to Ruatisha]. Our family is immune to scams.”

“What?”

Klatier’s pupils shook.

‘So from the beginning…’

Her eyes caught Felix’s back as he walked towards Ruatisha.

As if returning to his rightful place.

Ruatisha welcomed Felix as if it were natural.

“You’ve worked hard, Felix.”

“Don’t ever make me do something like this again. It was so unpleasant.”

“You were doing too well for someone who hated it. As expected, Felix is overflowing with talent in that area.”

“What do you mean I’m talented in that!”

Ruatisha chuckled at Felix, who was jumping up and down.

She had asked Felix a while ago.

“Pretend to be charmed by Cheria like you did with Muriel Shabon and monitor her and get some information.”

Of course, Felix was horrified.

“Why, Felix is good at that kind of thing.”

“What… ! I’m good at that kind of thing!”

“You were good at it before. Just do it once. Hmm?”

“Absolutely not.”

Klatier realized the whole story.

She thought he was pathetically clinging to a man who said he didn’t like it…

‘-He didn’t want to approach me?!’

Klatier’s clenched fist trembled.

Sidrian and Felix had never been in her grasp in the first place!

Everything was Ruatisha’s scheme…!

She had been completely played by that bug-like wretch!

Sidrian said with a look of pity.

“It’s amazing that you thought I’d fall for it. No matter how brainwashed I am, there’s no way I’d mistake you for Ruatisha. I could smell the nasty smell from the note.”

“…”

“No matter how much you pretend to be Ruatisha, you can’t even reach the tip of my master’s toes.”

Flames flashed in Klatier’s eyes.

She hadn’t been trying to imitate Ruatisha.

She hadn’t been pretending to be Ruatisha.

‘I am the real master of this world, why would I be like that thing!’

Klatier gritted her teeth and shouted.

“So what? What changes because you guys didn’t become my puppets? Look at the people!”

The people were still standing blankly, possessed.

The completely greenish eyes glared at Ruatisha with venom.

“Thank you for gathering all the power? Ha!”

“…”

“Do you think I’m a joke? That complacency that made you look down on me will strangle your neck.”

“…”

“In the end, all the power has gathered to me, right?”

Klatier smiled crookedly and opened the book.

A red aura, darker than blood, overflowed and bloomed from the opened page.

A power that was on a different level than before.

“Say thank you even as you die!”

Kuuuuung!

With a huge roar, the aura filled the space like a tsunami.

* * *

At that moment.

The butterfly in the Paeraton mansion suddenly raised its head.

“What’s wrong?”

Count Kandor asked with a frown.

The butterfly stood up from its seat without answering.

It had just felt a wave of power.

A very large and intense power.

Nasty and unpleasant…

‘It has the same texture as the power Cheria gave me.’

Ruatisha is in danger.

The moment that thought crossed its mind, the butterfly’s body was already moving.

“Where are you going? The Princess told you to stay put, but I don’t trust you.”

“Get out of my way.”

The butterfly said with murderous eyes.

“I’m only warning you once. If you stop me, I’ll kill you.”

“What-.”

“I don’t have time to waste. That fragile and delicate child can’t handle this power.”

“What…?”

Only then did Count Kandor’s expression change as if he understood.

“The weak and helpless Princess you think so much of is in danger. If you understand, get out of my way.”

The butterfly said coldly and muttered, gritting its teeth.

“Stupid and naive woman. I taught her so much…”

At those words, Count Kandor’s face hardened even more.

Even Ruatisha’s maids asked back with shocked faces.

“Uh, well, that… fragile and delicate? The Young Lady?”

“Did you say weak too?”

“Wow…”

But the reaction was strange.

“The Princess is naive… That Princess is naive… Ha…”

Count Kandor muttered with an unbelievable face.

As if there was no more shocking thing to say.

“Wow, is this what they call a love filter [biased perception due to affection]?”

“This isn’t just a love filter.”

“How can you call the Young Lady weak, delicate, fragile, and naive…”

“Our Young Lady was born with the qualities of a tyrant.”

The butterfly distorted its face.

‘I thought they were people who cared about that girl…!’

This kind of joking around.

Does that mean they were just being nice on the surface!

There wasn’t a single sign of concern for Ruatisha in them.

‘I don’t have time to waste on these guys.’

The butterfly’s figure disappeared in an instant.

It moved like the wind, chasing the wave of power.

Biting its lip without realizing it in anxiety.

‘Foolish woman, stupid woman.’

A fool who is so innocent that she shares warmth with everyone.

A pure idiot who only gets deceived.

It thought she had grown up in a greenhouse, but in reality, there was no one who sincerely cared about that girl.

“Navi!”

A brightly smiling face flashed before its eyes.

Maybe.

Maybe it won’t be able to see that face again.

It was strange.

The area below its chest was throbbing.

Its solar plexus [area in the abdomen] was aching.

As if a hole had been pierced through it.

Just thinking about it.

It couldn’t understand its own body.

It hadn’t felt like this even when a hole had really been pierced through its body.

Just that fragile and delicate girl.

The clear and transparent eyes of the girl, without a hint of doubt.

‘Damn it.’

And what appeared before Navi, filled with anxiety, was-

“You’re so dead!”

-Ruatisha, wielding a greatsword as big as her body and holding a festival of blood and carnage.
