Lord Baby Runs A Romance Fantasy With Cash [EN]: Chapter 43

The moment the door burst open.

“If you open it so carelessly, my sister will dislike it.”

“Huh? I guess she hated it when you opened it? She always greeted me with a smile when I opened it, though?”

“Both of you, step back.”

“Your Grace, aren’t you being too harsh? At a time like this一.”

“Sorry. Anyway, I need to hear an answer from my little fluffball first.”

“Don’t take out your Magi [magical energy]. Put it away.”

It sounds like Dad and my brothers are here, but it’s incredibly noisy.

I peeked my head out towards the living room from the toilet room.

“Dad?”

The three people who were arguing stopped and looked towards me.

“Ares and Ixion are here too?”

All three of them froze as if they had turned into stone statues.

Surprised faces.

“Hehe, how is it! It’s the New Year’s party dress Yutra made for me! Pretty, right?”

I proudly showed off my new clothes, but I had an ominous feeling.

What is it?

I quickly scanned the surroundings and saw a dark aura trying to rise from Ixion’s side.

I was horrified and shouted.

“If you break the wall again, I’ll hate you!”

Then the Magi drooped and disappeared.

“Whew.”

I protected it, my new room!

At that moment, Ares approached me.

“You look really cute today, my sister.”

“Well, for a weak fluffball, you’re passable.”

Ixion came closer, not wanting to be outdone.

“There’s no need to listen to such a violent guy who only knows how to break walls.”

“Ah, better than someone with a dark heart.”

“It seems you still need some education.”

“Want to try it now?”

Murderous intent began to flicker in their eyes.

Oh no, not this pattern again.

I won’t stop you anymore!

If you’re going to fight, go outside and fight! Just don’t break my room!

I looked at Dad, my only hope.

As expected, Dad was looking at me with a calm face.

Ah, I feel relieved.

Our Dad, always cool-headed!

The moment I smiled brightly and reached out to Dad.

“…Terrifying.”

Dad staggered slightly and muttered.

“My daughter’s cuteness is enough to take over the body.”

……Huh?

“Temporary paralysis. Followed by abnormally rapid contraction and expansion of the ventricles and atria [chambers of the heart].”

“……”

“Limbs lose control of the brain and try to move on their own.”

Suddenly, Dad, who had approached me, picked me up.

Hey, is holding your daughter something to talk about in terms of controlling your limbs?

I looked down at Dad with a bitter look.

“I heard someone say that once.”

I’m not curious at all.

“Conquer the world with cuteness.”

I said I’m not curious!

“I thought it was the nonsense of crazy people, but to think it would actually exist.”

No. That’s definitely the nonsense of crazy people.

And our Dad is saying that nonsense right now.

Then what is our Dad?

“What a terrifying power. My daughter’s cuteness has tremendous destructive power.”

“……”

“……”

A chilling silence, as if the Arctic had been summoned, lingered in my room.

See? Everyone is dumbfounded.

But that was the moment.

“That’s absolutely right!”

“If cuteness is a sin, our young lady deserves the death penalty! No, even the death penalty is not enough!”

“Rather than executing the young lady, let’s just kill everyone! Our young lady is all we need in this world!”

“Truly a cuteness that will conquer this world, and even the heavens and the demon realm!”

“……”

No, don’t agree!

I knew the maids were getting weirder and weirder…….

But I didn’t lose hope.

Looking at Ixion and Ares, they also had expressions of disbelief at this absurd sight.

Yeah, yeah. Right?

I feel the same way.

I sent them a look of agreement.

But.

“Certainly. I don’t even know why the vermin other than the fluffball should exist.”

“For the sake of this world, perhaps it’s time for a major cleanup…….”

Why are these guys like this again?

Surely the target of that cleanup isn’t humans, is it?

This is really driving me crazy.

A total mess is unfolding before my eyes, and everyone is nodding in agreement.

Am I the only normal person here?

“Oh my, it’s all because Lulu is so cute. Why did everyone come here?”

“It’s the grand banquet today.”

Ixion said as if asking the obvious, so I tilted my head.

“So what?”

At that moment, Ares suddenly knelt in front of me.

“Please, grant me the honor of escorting my sister?”

Smiling eyes, soft voice, perfect posture.

He was truly a male lead who had jumped out of a romance fantasy novel.

“You bastard, cutting in line!”

“Can’t you realize you’re slow?”

Ixion pulled my hand, which Ares was holding, towards him.

“Fluffball, I’ll protect you.”

Naturally, my body fell into Ixion’s arms.

“Right?”

Ixion, looking down at me and grinning, was another kind of romance fantasy male lead.

“Everyone is making meaningless struggles.”

At the same time as I heard Dad’s low voice, a dark Magi gently enveloped me.

A gentle Magi like a blanket made of night.

“After all, my daughter likes me the most.”

Dad, holding me in his arms, tilted his head and looked down at his two sons arrogantly.

‘……What is this situation?’

This familiar smell?

It feels like I’ve seen this somewhere before…….

It’s like a daughter-obsessed dad and brother-obsessed brothers are keeping each other in check!

‘This is a common scene in romance fantasy novels!’

Do I finally have a daughter-obsessed dad and brother-obsessed brothers?!

At that moment, the favorability rating floating next to Ares caught my eye.

[-160]

‘No, if you’re going to be a brother-obsessed brother, the favorability rating should be 99999 or something, but at least it shouldn’t be negative, negative!’

As expected, Ares is truly an unfathomable person.

‘If I hadn’t seen the favorability rating, I would have definitely mistaken that Ares had completely accepted me.’

“Luatisha, what do you think?”

Ares asked, smiling brightly at me.

“Hmm……. But I’m still young, so I’m not old enough to enter with a partner.”

No matter who I choose out of the three, the aftermath will be no joke.

When I tapped Dad’s chest, Dad put me down.

“But there’s no law saying you can’t.”

“You’re out, Ares. Escorting means protecting the lady, and I already told that fluffball that I would protect her.”

“Oh dear. But my sister has something special to do with me today.”

“Something special to do?”

Ixion raised one eyebrow as if he was very annoyed.

“That’s our little secret.”

Ares said, pulling me into his arms.

I glanced up at Ares.

He immediately lowered his gaze and met mine.

‘It’s better to go with Ares to get a hold of the backers and raise the favorability rating.’

“Ares!”

When I called Ares, he smiled brightly. It was the smile of a victor.

Before Ixion and Dad, who were in shock, could say anything, I whispered in Ares’ ear.

“Try harder.”

Ares’ eyes trembled as if he hadn’t expected that.

“I haven’t forgiven Ares yet.”

Flinch.

While Ares was flustered, I slipped out of his arms with ease.

There’s something you’re misunderstanding right now.

The right to choose belongs to this Lulu, who has the cuteness to conquer the world.

Instead of worrying about other people’s favorability ratings, you should be worrying about my favorability rating, right?

Isn’t this about who has the highest favorability rating with me?

I’ve always been on the side of the female lead.

I was a reader who couldn’t stand it unless the female lead chose the male lead, not the female lead being chosen by the male leads!

Ares, go back and recover the favorability rating you lost because you were caught pretending to be nice to me!

“I have someone I want to go to the banquet hall with!”

At those words, Dad and Ixion looked at me.

“Who is it?”

“It’s 바로 [right now]…….”

What I’ve really, really wanted一.

“Dad, Ares, and Ixion!”

Precious family.

“I want to enter together as a trio!”

Who cares if they’re not daughter-obsessed or brother-obsessed.

You don’t have to like me that much.

Because family is something you can hate terribly and then love again the next day.

“The three of us together?”

“Yeah, it’s okay. I’m not old enough to be escorted anyway.”

Ixion’s face was rotting.

“Me, at a party with this guy…….”

“……I’d be the more unpleasant person.”

“Hmm, if the three of you can’t go together, I’ll go with Anna, Nancy, Laura, and Tilda!”

“Oh my! We can enter together with as many people as you want!”

“The entrance to the grand banquet hall is very wide!”

Dad and my brothers glared at them with intense eyes, but the maids didn’t seem to notice.

There was a time when even speaking to Dad first was a desperate act that risked their lives.

Is this what they call a world of change?

“So, Ares and Ixion can’t absolutely go together?”

“It can’t be helped.”

“Because my sister wants it.”

Good, good.

I hope this will bring about a change in their relationship.

But that wasn’t my responsibility.

There’s nothing more unpleasant than forcing people together when they hate each other.

“Dad? Are you okay?”

At those words, Dad pressed down on my head.

“Let’s go.”

Hehe.

* * *

Ixion and Ares didn’t glare at each other or anything.

Even without doing that, they felt each other’s presence enough to dislike it.

Walking through the hallway leading to the hall, the two were lost in thought.

It hasn’t even been a full season since Luatisha came to the Duke’s residence.

But so much has changed.

The employees, who were always like still life, were filled with life and laughter never stopped.

It goes without saying that the overall atmosphere of the castle has changed.

What’s more surprising is the change in attitude of their father, Duke Paeraton.

Sometimes they still get chills when they see him treating Luatisha.

But what’s even more surprising is the change they themselves are experiencing.

It was something that couldn’t be explained one by one.

It seemed like a very trivial thing, but it was also so huge that it shook everything to its core.

The same is true now.

A brotherly relationship where it would be fortunate if they didn’t meet and shed blood.

But to think they would enter the banquet so quietly and in one piece like this.

A very small but very big change.

The three of them crossed the hallway with an awkward feeling as if they were wearing ill-fitting clothes.

But seeing Luatisha walking right next to them, it wasn’t a bad feeling.

“Duke Paeraton, Young Master Ares, Young Master Ixion, and Princess Luatisha are entering!”

The herald’s voice was heard and the family entered the grand banquet hall together.

The dazzling light of the crystal chandelier illuminated the figures of the four people.

“Oh my, the young masters are entering together, am I dreaming?”

“His Grace isn’t alone either.”

“Ah, they were originally people with truly picturesque beauty, but today it’s really unbelievable. The racetracks will all go bankrupt.”

“Honey, please don’t say things like that. It makes the atmosphere awkward.”

“Ah, is that the famous youngest princess? She’s really cute.”

At that moment, Duke Paeraton swept up the youngest princess.

“Oh my goodness, heavens!”

“See, wasn’t I right? His Grace is especially fond of the youngest princess.”

“Looking at that, it seems the two young masters are too.”

The two young masters were standing on either side of Duke Paeraton, who was holding the youngest princess, as if they were guarding her.

The expressions on their faces as they looked at the princess were faces they had never seen before.

“Wow…….”

“Something feels really strange.”

The Paeraton family, slowly descending the stairs, looked like a really ordinary, and therefore all the more lovely, family.

* * *

Ares looked at Luatisha, who couldn’t leave the chocolate fountain.

It felt strange to see her liking it.

The feeling he kept getting when he saw Luatisha.

‘No, now is not the time to think about that.’

Ares’ eyes quickly scanned the banquet hall.

As the party matured to some extent, Duke Paeraton went into the inner room with the elders.

‘Now that the elders have come out, the leaders will go in.’

After that, each faction will enter, so the Duke will continue to be in the inner room.

‘Ixion is…… not here.’

At first, he was stuck next to Luatisha like a piece of gum.

It was amazing that Ixion attended such a banquet and didn’t leave after 5 minutes.

Of course, people were looking for him, so Ixion’s annoyance seemed to increase.

On top of that, he was wary of everyone who approached Luatisha.

In the end, he played pranks on people and was scolded by Luatisha.

Ordinary people would never see that as a prank.

‘Still, it’s a great improvement that he didn’t run wild trying to kill someone.’

At that moment, Ares and Luatisha’s eyes met.

Ares nodded.

The ones who came out of the inner room now are the elders.

The position with the highest possibility of being a backer along with the leaders.

As expected, Luatisha seemed to have realized it right away.

The elders approached the youngest princess, whom they had barely seen for the first time, and Luatisha greeted them quite politely.

Even so, it was just a baby with short arms and legs spreading her skirt wide and hopping once.

‘Amazing.’

Luatisha didn’t tell him how she could find out about bribery.

Ares was the type of person who had to check everything himself.

But he was assuming that the child would do it and was making the next plan.

Isn’t that trust?

‘……Well, it’ll be okay.’

Anyway, he confirmed that Luatisha was bright.

So she’ll do well on her own now.

‘Why am I so worried?’

Anyway, today was just about finding out who Luatisha was and ending it.

Tomorrow, he decided to talk to Ares about who the backer was and discuss how to obtain material evidence.

So nothing will happen.

Luatisha was never a child who would move recklessly without any basis just because she found out who the backer was right away.

That was the moment.

“You’re a bad guy!”

Luatisha shouted.

Huh?

“Grandpa! Bad! You’re awful!”

She was pointing her finger at none other than the head of the Council of Elders.

“You bad tax evader!”

Luatisha……?

Ares’ pupils shook.

My sister, her intelligence has left home.
