The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 114

Hylone was silent for a moment.

He slowly closed and opened his eyes.

Then he asked again.

“…Me?”

Of course, it wasn’t, but Cheshire pretended it was.

“Yes.”

It was a desperate cry, but it didn’t sound too bad.

Because Hylone couldn’t ask any more questions.

Instead of asking specifically, he briefly shifted his gaze elsewhere.

Cheshire blinked as she pressed her lips with the back of her hand.

It seemed like a faint red tinge was swirling around Hylone’s face.

The subtle change quickly disappeared.

He returned to his usual expression.

However, even though his face was expressionless, the atmosphere was very different from before.

It was thanks to the disappearance of the coldness.

Cheshire felt strange because there was even a soft feeling somewhere.

Hylone, who had softened with a single word, rebuked her bluntly.

“Why did you come all the way here so dangerously? You could have just done what you usually do.”

“Because butterflies can’t enter the Holy Empire.”

Whenever she had something to contact him about, she would often make butterflies and send them flying.

But even Cheshire couldn’t bring butterflies into the Holy Empire.

A butterfly flying around in a completely white place was too noticeable.

It would be caught before it even reached Hylone.

Cheshire took a step closer to Hylone.

Anyway, now that it had come to this, she was going to ask what she was curious about.

“The Holy Empire is experimenting on fairies, do you know anything about it?”

“…….”

However, as soon as the question was asked, Hylone’s attitude turned cold again.

He muttered briefly.

“So that’s what you came for.”

Cheshire stared at Hylone with a dumbfounded look.

She didn’t know why he was suddenly acting like this.

Hylone narrowed his eyes and said.

“It seems you didn’t sneak in here because you were greedy for the crown.”

“Ah, well. Not really the crown…. I just came to take a look.”

She answered vaguely and glanced at the crown.

The crown, which had been singing excitedly, had been silent from the moment Cheshire touched it.

It was as if it had achieved its desired purpose.

Cheshire fiddled with the flowing dress and speculated.

‘Was the purpose to transform me?’

She recalled the pain she felt when she touched the crown and swallowed a sigh.

Anyway, it was a difficult situation in many ways.

‘What if I can’t go back to being a baby?’

Of course, she was happy to be back in her adult body.

She had been worried that she would live as a baby forever.

But it was a problem that this happened during the Minor Saint prayer meeting.

‘I don’t know if the Hata potion will work properly.’

Since the potion to return to adulthood didn’t work, there was a high possibility that the potion to turn into a baby wouldn’t work either.

Even if she tried to take it, it would take time to make the potion, so it wasn’t a method she could use right away.

The biggest problem was the men of the Vasilios family.

Even though they were in a meeting about a serious matter, they wouldn’t be stuck there for thousands of years.

‘No matter how long it takes, it will be over before sunrise.’

One of Kiern and the three brothers would definitely sneak into Cheshire’s bedroom.

But if they found out she was gone…….

Cheshire imagined the future for a moment and felt dizzy.

“…Regarding that.”

Then, she belatedly came to her senses at Hylone’s voice.

Hylone stared at Cheshire and began to speak.

“There is something I wanted to ask you.”

She was about to run away if he brought up any nonsense about being a daughter or anything.

But for some reason, he brought up a normal story.

“If there is a fairy in the Holy Empire… can you find it?”

Cheshire’s eyes widened.

Hylone looked into Cheshire’s surprised face and continued slowly.

“You’ve probably heard the story that if you receive the Holy King’s blessing, you will gain divine power.”

Cheshire was well aware of the story that a Holy Knight who was not born with divine power received the Holy King’s blessing and gained strong divine power to handle holy objects.

It was also an anecdote that was widely promoted in Hildegard to recruit Holy Knights.

“That’s not a miracle achieved through blessing. It’s all just stealing from others.”

“…!”

“They gathered those with divine power and stole their divine power to create excellent Holy Knights. Only for Holy Knights…….”

The act of injecting divine power into others was limited to Holy Knights, especially those strong enough to receive holy objects.

Because if the body was not strong enough to support it, it could not withstand the process of injecting divine power.

“Recently, it has been confirmed that divine power has been injected even into weak bodies.”

She knew as soon as she heard it.

It was Prince Remil.

Until now, no member of the Hebaton royal family had divine power, but Remil suddenly had strong power.

The way he struggled to use divine power with a body that seemed to collapse at any moment was definitely strange.

It was like handling something that wasn’t his.

“In the process of injecting divine power, they must have mixed something else to help the body withstand it.”

“You mean that something is the power of a fairy?”

Hylone nodded in affirmation at the question that saw through him.

Cheshire bit her lip.

“…What if.”

She whispered, looking at the pure white Holy Knight uniform he was wearing.

“What if the Holy King was leading all of this? Then you.”

A trembling voice flowed out without her knowing.

“What are you going to do……?”

Hylone was the Holy King’s sword.

His master was Cyanor, so he might betray Cheshire at a crucial moment.

However, unlike Cheshire, who suppressed her intense emotions and asked the question, Hylone, who answered, was calm.

“If he commits an act that goes against God’s will, he must be punished. That is the duty of an Inquisitor.”

“…….”

“Richestia.”

He asked Cheshire instead.

“Why do you think I would choose the Holy King?”

“…That’s.”

“Just as you put me first.”

Hylone said lowly, with eyes that seemed to swallow her whole.

“I also put you first.”

***

A very long time ago.

The Black Forest was created.

It was infested with bizarre monsters, and their power was so strong that it was difficult for humans to deal with them.

The Holy Empire of Hildegard sent excellent knights and priests to purify the Black Forest, but failed.

The endlessly appearing monsters seemed as if they would cover the entire continent at any moment.

In the midst of this, the Vasilios family, who had the Black Forest as their territory, succeeded in subduing some of the monsters.

They had done what the Holy Knights and priests could not do.

For some unknown reason, the power of those with the blood of Vasilios exerted greater destructive power on monsters than divine power.

Only those belonging to Vasilios could completely defeat the monsters of the forest.

Therefore, the Holy King of the Holy Empire summoned the head of the Vasilios family and ordered him.

To protect the Black Forest so that monsters could not spread to the continent.

Vasilios faithfully obeyed the order, and in return, was guaranteed the safety of the underworld.

The Holy Empire promised never to interfere in the underworld, and also condoned the fact that Vasilios was the master of the underworld.

However, hundreds of years have passed.

“Now we’re at a loss.”

The Vasilios County no longer wanted to remain asleep beneath the surface.

They wanted to reveal the secrets they had been hiding and make their name known on the continent.

“The price was too low for all the hard work we put in obeying the Holy Empire’s orders for so long. So shouldn’t we start getting a little bit back from now on?”

Vasilios Count, Kiern, smiled and said to his sons.

Belzeon frowned and replied.

“Is that the Fairy Queen’s crown?”

“That’s right. Even the Holy King will have a hard time pretending not to know us…….”

Kiern stopped talking and looked at the door.

Belzeon and the twins also turned their heads and looked towards the door.

After a while.

“Cardinal Milliard has come to visit.”

The employee announced that an uninvited guest had come in the middle of the night.

Kiern swallowed a sneer.

He had sensed something unusual in the conversation between the Holy King and Kiern and had rushed over in a hurry.

He was curious to know what he was going to say.

No matter what nonsense he spouted, he had no intention of giving up the victory…….

“The adopted child you brought.”

Cardinal Milliard’s nonsense was quite interesting.

“Do you know who the biological father is?”
