The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 126

The man immediately prostrated himself.

Before the gleaming axe blade, his face turned pale as he spilled everything he knew and didn’t know.

He had no choice.

There were two beings the underworld wanted to avoid at all costs.

That was the Master and the Enchantress.

If you wanted to stay alive, you had to avoid them like a natural disaster.

The Master was beyond words, and the Enchantress’s infamy pierced the sky.

Listing the people who had been axed after crossing her could wrap around the underworld once.

In particular, the Enchantress was famous for never forgetting those who harmed her.

What good would it do to cooperate with Cardinal Milliard and gain wealth?

You had to be alive to use the wealth.

Once you lost your life, it was over, so the man naturally chose survival.

If he had known from the start that she was the Enchantress’s child, he wouldn’t have even gone near her.

The man who chose the wrong path trembled and diligently spat out information.

But as expected, the man didn’t know much.

He had been living a moderately bad life in the underworld when he was caught by Cardinal Milliard and decided to cooperate instead of facing an inquisition, leading him to concoct this scheme.

The reason he was brought in was partly because he looked somewhat similar to Chesha, but mainly because he was a black magician.

It was to create a perfect flaw that would prevent Chesha Basilian from ever participating in the Minor Saint Prayer Meeting.

But Chesha had already guessed this much.

‘I should have just chopped him up with the axe.’

He was utterly useless.

Chesha glared at the man with dissatisfied eyes.

The man, who had been thoroughly shaken down in a short time, opened and closed his mouth with a withered expression.

“How did this happen…?”

He repeatedly ran his hands over his face as if he couldn’t believe it, and examined Chesha.

“The Enchantress had a child.”

Chesha crossed her arms and raised only one eyebrow.

‘Well, it’s not entirely a lie, is it?’

After all, she was a related figure.

Not a daughter, but herself.

If there was another opportunity, it wouldn’t be bad to use this strange identity again.

“Um…”

The man, who had been watching for a chance since earlier, cautiously opened his mouth.

“I-I’m not lying because I want to… Please put in a good word with your mother… And if there’s anything the baby doesn’t like, please let me know…”

His eyes were filled with curiosity as he glanced at the fluttering butterflies and flowers, and the fancy axe, while politely using honorifics to the baby.

The fact that the Enchantress’s daughter was an adopted child of the Basilian family was surprising enough.

But she was even attending the Minor Saint Prayer Meeting!

He was dying to know the inside story.

Chesha stared at the man for a moment and suddenly had an idea.

She thought she should use this guy.

“Mishter lies well, doe?”

“Yes? Y-yes…?”

The man nodded absentmindedly.

He was a black magician, but his skills weren’t that great.

He had lived by making up for his lack of skill with his fraudulent acting.

‘This isn’t just Cardinal Milliard’s doing.’

The Holy King is definitely involved behind the scenes.

If she used this well, she might be able to dig into the Holy King in reverse.

Having finished these calculations, Chesha gave a sinister smile.

The man gasped, startled by the smile that looked exactly like the Enchantress.

“Mishter… wanna be my daddy?”

***

While Chesha was plotting, Cardinal Milliard was lecturing Hylon and Kieren.

“I told you before, didn’t I? This is something I directly requested the underworld’s Master to verify.”

So there’s no way it could be wrong, Milliard said with conviction.

Hylon looked at the underworld Master.

Kieren, receiving his gaze, raised the corners of his mouth to hide his annoyance.

The ends of his lips trembled.

“Give up on the Minor Saint Prayer Meeting. It would be best to end it here, even for Sir Hylon’s sake.”

He was saying that if they insisted further, it would harm Hylon, who supported the Basilian family.

“I can condone it at my level now… but if you continue to participate in the Minor Saint Prayer Meeting, I will have no choice but to report it to the Holy King.”

The Cardinal concluded that the truth would inevitably be revealed publicly, and in the end, the child would be hurt.

Kieren and Hylon’s eyes met.

The two men achieved a single-mindedness for the first time in a long time.

‘Should we kill this bastard?’

They could read that they were thinking the same thing just by looking at each other.

It was when they were enduring the urge to break the Cardinal’s neck right away.

Knock knock.

With a knock, the door opened, and Chesha peeked her head in.

“Chesha!”

Kieren, who was smiling brightly and getting up from his seat, stopped.

Chesha appeared holding hands with the fake father.

It was a scene of a friendly father and daughter to anyone who saw it.

Cardinal Milliard burst into hearty laughter and applauded.

“Blood is thicker than water, after all!”

Unlike him, who was pleased, Kieren and Hylon’s faces rapidly hardened.

It was as if frost was forming on their expressions.

Kieren soon asked with a gentle smile.

“Chesha… did you come because you were bored? But why are you holding hands…?”

“Wanna talk to mishter more. Outshide of jail.”

“…”

While Kieren was speechless, the Cardinal quickly got up and intervened.

“Yes! It’s hard for a young child to stay in a place like this for long. Coincidentally, tomorrow is the second prayer day of the Minor Saint Prayer Meeting. It would be good for the child to leave now.”

Either way, she had to leave the prison to attend the prayer meeting.

The Cardinal was very proactive, saying that he would give them time to have a cozy conversation between father and daughter and then send them back to the lodging where the Basilian family was staying.

Chesha shook her head.

“Gonna come back here.”

And she briefly let go of the fake father’s hand and approached Kieren.

Kieren stared blankly at Chesha walking towards him.

Chesha stood in front of Kieren and waved her little hand.

Chesha, who had stretched up as much as possible to the ear he was bringing to her as if possessed, whispered in his ear.

“You’re the only daddy to me. Be right back.”

So she said to wait just a moment.

Kieren nodded blankly at the words whispering while gently wafting the scent of flowers.

And when he came to his senses, Chesha was gone.

She had left with Cardinal Milliard and the fake father.

Leaving Kieren alone.

“…Ah.”

A short groan escaped from his mouth.

Kieren recalled the words Chesha had left behind and muttered.

“She says… I’m the only daddy.”

He blinked slowly and suddenly said.

“Could it be that he’s becoming her daddy now?”

Chesha’s whisper was a declaration that Kieren was her only father to anyone who heard it.

But his broken brain arbitrarily changed the meaning, assuming the worst.

His fragile mind began to shake unstably.

Just before the shadow at his feet was about to distort, Hylon grabbed his collar.

“Pull yourself together.”

“Ugh…”

A cold interrogation fell on Kieren, who was drooping with his collar grabbed.

“Isn’t he not her biological father?”

“No… no, it’s really not…”

Kieren mumbled in a listless voice.

“Chesha might miss her real father… Maybe I’m so inadequate that she believes that kind of thug is her father…”

Hylon, having confirmed that Kieren had already gone mad, narrowed his eyes and said.

“This can be resolved by clearly revealing the truth that he is not her biological father.”

Although he pretended to be calm, Hylon was by no means normal either.

He made a calmly insane statement.

“Let’s kill Cardinal Milliard first.”

“How…?”

Kieren looked up at Hylon with a tearful face.

Instead of Kieren, whose brain had stopped, Hylon offered a crazy opinion.

It was an opinion that Hylon’s aide, Daren, or Belzeon, would have immediately collapsed backward while holding their foreheads if they were here.

But neither Kieren nor Hylon felt it was at all irrational.

The two men, who were polar opposites, perfectly agreed without any deviation…

On the second prayer day of the Minor Saint Prayer Meeting.

The Basilian family declared that they would give up participating in the prayer meeting.
