The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 122

Taking the woman to the Black Forest was surprisingly easy.

In fact, it wasn’t even a proper seduction.

A simple invitation for a picnic in the forest was enough.

“You’re playing with me…?”

The woman widened her already large eyes, her face filled with emotion.

He had always ignored her, even when she constantly loitered around his office, being a nuisance.

But when he suggested a picnic, she jumped for joy.

She eagerly awaited the picnic day, boasting about it to everyone she knew.

She spread the news so widely that even the knights under his command subtly mentioned it in passing.

On the day of the picnic.

The servants prepared a picnic basket filled with food and handed it over.

As always, they quietly followed Kieren’s orders, but…

“…”

Kieren narrowed his eyes at their behavior.

It was subtly different from usual.

As they watched the woman brightly smile and accept the picnic basket, they couldn’t hide their worried expressions.

It wasn’t just the servants.

The knights of the Vasilios family also took care of the woman, pretending not to.

Without being ordered, they formed groups and cleared out monsters.

Of course, without Kieren, they couldn’t completely eradicate them.

He sneered as he saw them all secretly following to see off Kieren and the woman as they left for the Black Forest.

“I don’t know who the master of the estate is.”

At his cold words, the servants and knights quietly disappeared again.

The Black Forest isn’t far from the estate.

Kieren helped the woman onto the horse.

“Let’s go!”

The woman, excited, laughed and shouted.

Kieren, finding it somewhat bothersome, slowly urged the horse forward.

Since the woman didn’t know how to ride, he had her sit in front of him.

Their bodies naturally touched, but the woman was carefree.

Without any tension, she leaned against Kieren, humming a song to herself.

She was sexually ignorant.

Watching the woman sing like a small bird, he thought that if she continued to not regain her memories, he would have to give her some sex education soon.

She couldn’t act like this with just any man.

And finally, they arrived at the Black Forest.

“Ugh…”

Only then did the woman realize that the picnic spot was the Black Forest, and she made a disappointed face.

“A picnic here. You really have strange tastes.”

Even as she grumbled, she didn’t say she wanted to go back.

Instead, she carefully held the picnic basket and quietly snuggled up to Kieren.

Kieren picked her up and walked into the heart of the Black Forest.

‘I heard she’s been walking a little lately.’

He heard that her legs had recovered enough for her to walk slowly while limping.

But she still couldn’t run properly, so she wouldn’t be able to escape far.

He set the woman down in a place with a moderate number of monsters.

The woman carefully stepped onto the ground.

She proudly puffed out her chest, showing that she could stand up straight.

“Look at this!”

Kieren was momentarily speechless.

However, he gave her a brief compliment as she wanted.

“You stood up on your own.”

“Yeah. I practiced hard. Wanna see? I can walk a little now too.”

The woman put down the picnic basket and took a step, showing him.

Kieren silently took a few steps back from her.

The woman wondered why he was suddenly doing that, and then…

“Krrrk…”

The cry of a monster was heard from the darkness of the forest.

The monster soon revealed itself.

The woman froze on the spot like a startled rabbit.

Kieren observed the monster from a short distance away.

The monster didn’t show any special reaction to the woman.

It showed the same murderous intent as it would to other humans.

The monster approached the woman, making threatening noises.

Kieren frowned.

‘Meaningless.’

He wasted time on a pointless endeavor.

Perhaps the woman had miraculously survived in the Black Forest due to a series of coincidences.

If he left her here any longer, she might die.

Kieren snapped his fingers.

With a snap, the monsters that were about to attack the woman turned their attention to him.

Kieren drew his demonic sword.

The demonic sword, excited at the thought of drinking blood, made an eerie sound.

Deliberately releasing his bloodlust, the monsters’ target completely changed.

He raised his demonic sword at the creatures rushing towards him, as he had done countless times.

He was about to cut down the monsters.

“No!”

The woman suddenly jumped in front of him.

Kieren barely managed to twist his sword.

He almost cut the woman in half.

He saved the woman, but he had to pay the price for changing the sword’s path.

“Kieeeek!”

The monster’s claws scratched his skin.

A warm pain spread on his forearm.

Kieren slightly distorted his face.

A faint smell of blood spread.

‘This has become troublesome.’

Of all things, he injured his right arm, the one he uses to wield the sword.

If they smell blood, the monsters will become even more excited and rampage.

To face those creatures alone without the knights, and while protecting the woman…!

Annoyed by the troublesome situation, he frowned and looked down at the woman.

He wanted to know why she had suddenly jumped in front of him, even with her leg injury.

“…”

Kieren’s face hardened without him realizing it.

The woman was trembling all over.

Even though her whole body was shaking, she stood in front of Kieren, glaring at the monsters.

It was an act that couldn’t be described as anything but foolish.

What was even more surprising was the monsters’ reaction.

They had been fierce and full of murderous intent until just now.

They had even smelled blood, so they should have been rampaging even more violently…

But with the small woman in front of them, who could be torn to shreds with a single swipe of their claws, the monsters stood there dumbfounded.

The woman shouted sharply.

“Go away!”

A frail cry echoed.

But the monsters flinched back as if they had heard the command of a supreme being.

Ssshhh.

With a damp sound like a snake crawling over wet leaves, the monsters disappeared into the darkness of the Black Forest.

The woman, who had been trembling, lost strength in her legs and collapsed to the ground.

“Haa, haa…”

The woman, heaving and panting, suddenly raised her head.

She staggered to her feet and hurriedly approached Kieren.

She had used all her strength to jump in front of Kieren with her injured leg.

It took a long time to reach Kieren, limping.

But even though she could have given up, she stubbornly came and checked the blood dripping from Kieren’s arm, and her face crumpled.

Tears welled up in her pink eyes.

The tears that quickly filled her eyes rolled down her white cheeks in droplets.

The woman, who hadn’t shed a tear even in front of the ferocious monsters, burst into tears when she saw Kieren’s arm.

She sobbed, her face turning red, and called his name.

“Kieren…”

He had taught her so many times to call him Count.

She didn’t even know how to use honorifics… she was a woman who never listened.

Normally, he would have immediately corrected her title.

But for some reason, he didn’t want to do that now.

The woman trembled in front of Kieren, worried.

“A-Are you hurt? Does it hurt a lot? I-It’ll be okay. Because you can get treatment…”

It was just a scratch from a monster.

It wasn’t like his arm was cut off, but she cried and worried as if he was about to die.

Even though he thought it was unnecessary worry, Kieren left the woman alone.

He was a little dizzy.

It wasn’t because he lost a lot of blood, but just…

Because of the flower scent.

He took a deep breath.

A fragrance that didn’t suit the Black Forest filled his lungs amidst the stench of blood.

It was the fragrant floral scent that always emanated from the woman.

As he was enveloped in the fragrance with a slightly dazed mind, he suddenly wondered about the woman’s name.

The woman who had lost her memory couldn’t even remember her own name.

Because of that, he had always called her by vague titles.

When the woman stood in front of him earlier…

It would have been nice if he had called her name then.

Even dogs raised at home were given names.

He felt like he needed a name to call the woman, anything would do.

As Kieren smelled the floral scent emanating from the woman, he uttered a word that impulsively came to mind.

“…Rose.”

Eyes like pink roses holding dew captured Kieren.

Kieren made eye contact with her and said softly.

“I mean the name.”

“My name…?”

“I can’t keep calling you ‘you.’ Until you regain your memory, it’s temporary for now.”

The woman’s face, which had been crying until just now, brightened.

She smiled brightly, stopping her tears.

“Yes!”

Kieren couldn’t help but think at the sight of her smiling so radiantly, like a flower bud bursting open.

It’s better to smile than to cry, after all.
