The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 103

Hylone’s statement silenced everyone around him.

Everyone stared at him, mouths agape.

Chesha, who was perched on Theo’s shoulder, acting as the teddy bear pilot, was no different.

So, it seemed he meant ‘the child I’m escorting’.

Shortened to…

‘Why am I your child!’

He shortened it way too much.

It was a phrase ripe for misunderstanding.

A sacred knight who has offered their body to the god must maintain their purity.

Yet, Hylone, the most respected figure among the sacred knights, was acting like a father.

In fact, the eyes of the sacred knights who heard the shocking statement were trembling.

However, no matter how people looked at him, Hylone, as always, didn’t care.

He calmly approached, trying to take Chesha into his arms.

But Hylone’s hand was immediately blocked.

Belzeon, who hadn’t yet sheathed his sword, turned the blade towards him.

Belzeon warned, pointing his sword.

“It would be best to correct the misunderstanding.”

Chesha covered his eyes with his hand.

His head was spinning.

‘Our kid wasn’t like this……’

He was clearly supposed to be the one stopping others from drawing their swords.

He had no idea how Belzeon had also switched to the role of drawing his sword.

Chesha mourned, watching Belzeon, the only rational one in the Vasilios family, become corrupted.

A blue gaze fell on Belzeon’s magic sword.

It wasn’t black like Kiernan’s, but a dark navy blade close to black.

The dark blade of the magic sword was terribly out of place in the pure white Holy Empire.

Hylone, staring at the foreign sword, coldly snapped.

“Have you forgotten that this is the Holy Empire?”

It was a warning to not get out of line.

Belzeon, who immediately understood the short meaning, narrowed his eyes and sheathed his sword.

Theo also hesitated and followed Belzeon, sheathing his sword.

The sacred knights were still unable to escape from the shock.

Only then did Hylone belatedly throw out a word of correction.

“The child I am escorting from the Minor Saint Prayer Meeting.”

“Ah……”

The sacred knights exchanged glances and made ambiguous noises.

However, even after hearing the correction, their embarrassment did not completely disappear.

The reason was obvious.

‘Because Hylone isn’t the type to take sides like this.’

He was indifferent to everything, and therefore fair in everything.

Since there was no personal interest involved, there was no chance of making a biased judgment.

Even if it was a child he was escorting, it was the same.

If those belonging to the child committed a wrong, he would be the first to coldly punish them……

But now, he was openly abusing his power.

The sacred knights were at a loss at Hylone’s favoritism.

The fact that he was protecting someone was so unfamiliar and strange.

Who is that child?

Gazes full of curiosity poured out towards Chesha.

News that the Holy King had personally come to greet the Vasilios family was slowly spreading, making them even more curious.

Passersby, startled by the sudden sword fight in the plaza, were holding their breath and looking this way.

Thanks to Hylone, Chesha, who was becoming the most famous person in the Holy Empire in real-time, leaned his body against the teddy bear’s head with a tired face.

He already wanted to go home.

However, Hylone did not leave the tired Chesha alone.

He reached out his hand to Chesha again and finally held him in his arms.

Hata, who was in Belzeon’s arms, made a fuss, growling and yelping.

It sounded like Hata was shouting, ‘I won’t let the white hair get away with this!’

Ignoring the little dog’s warning, Hylone stared at Chesha.

“…That’s what your face looked like.”

Just as he was tilting his head at the meaningless mutter.

He added words that were of no help in this situation.

“I missed you.”

A low but particularly clear voice spread.

It was a very gentle voice, with the usual coldness melting away.

Some of the sacred knights were seen opening their mouths stupidly.

They looked like they were doubting whether they had heard things.

‘Am I crazy……’

Why is he suddenly saying such soft words when he’s not usually like this!

Chesha sighed inwardly and subtly examined Hylone.

He felt slightly thinner than the last time he saw him.

His eyes were calm as usual, but he also looked somehow tired.

He was called to the Holy Empire first, so was he scolded a lot by the Holy King?

Chesha was a little worried because he had let the fairy go.

Still, since he’s an Inquisitor, how much would he be scolded even if he was scolded……

He couldn’t help but feel worried.

Chesha asked without realizing it.

“Are you sick somewhere?”

Hylone’s eyes widened slightly.

A faint smile crossed his lips.

However, the brief change was quickly hidden.

“It’s not something you need to worry about.”

It seemed like something had happened.

Just as Chesha’s face was about to become serious, Benji suddenly shouted loudly and stepped forward.

“Sir Hylone!”

His face was flushed.

His hands were even trembling, as if it was an honor just to stand in front of him.

Benji panted and apologized.

“I, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that Sir Hylone was personally escorting him, so I made a mistake.”

To be precise, it wasn’t Benji but Theo and Belzeon who made the mistake, but no one pointed that out.

Even Benji himself naturally glossed over it as if it were his fault.

His face, smiling obsequiously, clearly showed that he wanted to exchange words with Hylone on this occasion.

He rushed in, his eyes red, as if he had seized an opportunity he couldn’t miss.

Looking at the sight, it dawned on the sacred knights once again that Hylone was a very high-ranking figure.

However, Hylone didn’t even glance at Benji.

Instead, he turned his gaze to Theo.

Theo, who was standing like a large bear, was startled when his eyes met Hylone’s.

Without saying a word, Theo shrank back and apologized first.

“I’m sorry……”

Chesha tapped Hylone.

It meant to be nice to the teddy bear.

Benji, who was diligently reading the room, quickly interjected.

“I apologize for causing concern. I will take care of it so that you don’t have to worry about it anymore.”

His attitude seemed quite reliable.

As the atmosphere seemed to be flowing towards Benji, Chesha tapped Hylone again.

Tap, tap, tap.

Hylone, who understood the small urging, slowly asked.

“How?”

“Yes? That is, well, through conversation……”

Hylone pointed out in an indifferent tone.

“Are you deciding the affairs of my people?”

Benji’s expression, which had been trying to smile, cracked with a snap at the words that fell.

He sensed that he had chosen the wrong path.

Benji stammered.

“…That’s not, that’s not what I meant, I, I caused the problem, so I’m going to fix it……”

But that was it.

As soon as Hylone’s last words fell, a sacred knight under Hylone fiercely drove him away.

“How dare you act so presumptuously! Are you the decision-maker? You can’t even wait quietly for Sir Hylone’s disposition, but you’re spouting such arrogant nonsense……”

He was about to cut off Benji’s head right away.

The knight glared at Benji with eyes that were dripping with fire.

“State your rank and name!”

Benji knelt down and trembled, saying.

“I am Benji, the 28th rank of the Sacred Knights.”

Benji, who was sweating with a pale face, suddenly raised his head.

“I am sorry, but I have something to say.”

He pointed his finger at Theo.

“In fact, that man was once trained to become a Sacred Knight. At that time, he slandered and framed others, tarnishing the honor of the Sacred Knight, and was eventually expelled from the training center.”

Benji desperately appealed, his eyes gleaming.

“I don’t think such a person can be placed next to the noble lady whom Sir Hylone is escorting.”

It was a desperate attempt not to die alone.

‘Does that bastard want to die!’

How could our teddy bear possibly slander others.

He just gets taken advantage of!

Chesha, filled with anger, pounded Hylone’s arm with both hands.

Tap tap tap tap tap tap.

Hylone, as if he understood, gently patted Chesha’s back and opened his lips.

“Is it certain that he tarnished the honor of the Sacred Knight?”

“Yes, that’s right!”

“…No!”

Theo belatedly protested, but Hylone didn’t even look at him.

Instead, he continued, staring at Benji.

“Then you prove it.”

“…Yes?”

Benji, who had been beaming until just now, widened his eyes.

There was only one way to prove the honor of a knight.

It meant he had to duel with Theo.

Benji’s face became blank at the situation that was flowing in an unexpected direction.

“Since you have bet the honor of the Sacred Knight……”

Hylone leisurely added.

“If you lose, I will remove you from your position.”
