The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 149

The Baby Fairy is a Villain – Episode 149

Roant was a noble of the Palen Imperial Family.

From the time he was in his mother’s womb, even before he was born, he had only heard the most flattering and refined words while growing up.

To be called a ‘piglet’ by someone like that.

His mind went blank for a moment at the abusive language, a first for him in his sheltered life.

Following that, anger surged as if his blood was boiling.

“To dare insult a member of the Imperial Family!”

Roant roared and jumped to his feet.

Even if it was Basilian, this was something he couldn’t ignore.

Roant paused as he was about to summon the knights outside and order them to drag Basilian out immediately.

It was because Count Basilian remained unnervingly calm.

He was still sitting on the sofa.

He merely glanced up, a smirk playing on his lips.

A sense of foreboding washed over Roant from that brief, unsettling smile.

Roant unconsciously trembled.

The Count’s eyes crinkled with amusement as he watched Roant’s slight tremor.

“Imperial Family, my foot.”

He leaned back into the sofa and chuckled.

“More like the stable keeper’s son.”

***

The late Empress greatly enjoyed horseback riding.

She cherished her horses so much that she had a separate private stable.

Whenever she had a spare moment, she would visit the stable and spend time with the horses….

In reality, it was all a pretense to meet her lover.

She had taken her lover as the stable keeper, allowing her to visit him freely.

Roant was the offspring of that very stable keeper.

Only a very few people knew the truth, but Count Basilian was one of them.

That wasn’t all.

Count Basilian knew everything.

He knew about Roant’s envy of a noble who had amassed great wealth while remaining loyal to the Imperial Family, and how Roant had secretly assassinated him.

He knew how Roant had framed a family who was discussing a marriage between their favored young lady and the Crown Prince, causing their downfall….

He knew all sorts of evil deeds that Roant had committed, as if he were reading an open book.

Roant had vaguely guessed that Basilian, as a master of the underworld, would possess a wealth of information.

But he never knew it would be to this extent.

Basilian could send Roant spiraling into the abyss.

From then on, Roant, his weakness exposed, couldn’t do anything to Count Basilian.

The Count, having revealed his true colors, treated Roant exactly as he said he would: like a ‘piglet.’

That wasn’t all.

After Rose Basilian died, the Count completely lost his mind.

He became a black magician and tormented Roant even more mercilessly.

If Roant slightly displeased him, he would plunge him into suffering with black magic.

After being oppressed for so long, Roant began to tremble at the mere sight of Count Basilian’s shadow.

He had been dragged around by the Count like that, and now he had reached this moment.

‘A war with the Holy Empire!’

Roant trembled so much that his teeth were chattering.

This was far beyond anything he could handle.

However, Count Basilian was too terrifying to refuse.

He was paralyzed, unable to act.

“Haa.”

Kiern let out a long sigh.

His eyes were cold.

Roant instinctively cowered at the gaze that seemed to regard him as a lowly creature.

Kiern put the watch he had been fiddling with into his coat pocket.

“Your Majesty.”

“…….”

“You’re scared of fighting the Holy Empire, aren’t you?”

“…There is a bit of that, so, if, if possible, I would like to resolve it peacefully.”

He anxiously rolled his eyes, stammering as he answered, unsure when Kiern would snap his fingers and unleash some terrible magic.

Kiern bent down.

He grabbed the back of Roant’s head and brought his face close.

He whispered softly to Roant, who was panting as if he was hyperventilating.

“If there’s another way besides war, would you like to pursue it?”

“Of course……!”

Roant paused as he was about to enthusiastically agree.

It was because Kiern wore an expression as if he had finally cornered his prey.

“I’m going to make a new Saint King.”

Everything went dark before Roant’s eyes.

To kick out the current Saint King and establish a new one.

Kiern tapped Roant’s frozen cheek with the back of his hand and smiled coldly.

“I hope Your Majesty will help me diligently?”

***

There was no proper research on fairies.

It was only natural since they were beings that were difficult to even encounter.

Only a few superficial pieces of information were known, such as their fondness for flowers or their ability to manipulate illusions.

Even that information was gleaned by slave hunters, who, due to their proximity to fairies through capture and sale, were the closest thing to experts. [Slave hunters are people who capture and sell fairies for profit.]

It was, therefore, biased information.

There were too many secrets that even Chesha, a fairy herself, didn’t know.

‘Am I really the Fairy Queen?’

Chesha blinked blankly.

The fairies were singing happily, spreading flowers at Chesha’s feet and scattering flower petals over her head.

The rabbit doll sitting on Chesha’s head nodded and swayed to the music, clearly enjoying itself.

With all the fragrant floral scents pouring down, she couldn’t focus at all.

Chesha was swept away by the fairies and had already arrived at a huge tree.

She belatedly came to her senses, and a sunflower was held out in front of her.

“I’m so glad you’re back.”

The fairy who shyly whispered and held out the sunflower was a familiar face.

It was the fairy that Chesha had rescued from the slave hunters before entering the Holy Empire.

She had engraved the fairy’s symbol on Chesha’s hand.

It was a butterfly symbol that led to the Fairy Kingdom.

Thanks to that symbol, the crown was able to bring Chesha to the Fairy Kingdom.

‘But the crown itself has disappeared somewhere.’

She had to give it to Kiern, but it was uncertain whether she could find it before leaving the kingdom.

Chesha stared silently at the fairy, one of the causes of this whole situation.

“I couldn’t even tell you my name back then.”

She smiled brightly and handed Chesha the sunflower.

“It’s Ria.”

Chesha, who received the flower Ria handed her, slowly looked around.

The fairies surrounding her were all full of anticipation.

“Everyone has been waiting for the Queen for a long time.”

Ria knelt down in front of Chesha and looked up with earnest eyes.

“You’re not going to leave us now, are you?”

“Uh…….”

Chesha was feeling very troubled for the first time in a long time.

But she didn’t want to lie.

After much deliberation, she just said honestly.

“First of all, I can’t stay here forever.”

The fairies all wore shocked expressions.

Some even staggered and collapsed to the floor.

Chesha was quite embarrassed by the repercussions of a single word, but she still had a lot to say.

She hesitated and carefully added.

“And I still can’t believe that I’m the Queen…….”

Chesha made a noise as she was speaking.

It was because the rabbit doll was pulling her hair.

“Foolish!”

The rabbit doll, small as it was, was jumping up and down on her head, angry.

“It is a predetermined destiny, the succession of great power, a mission connected by soul and spirit.”

“The Queen is the Queen!”

To be honest, she didn’t know what the rabbit doll knew as a rabbit doll, but Chesha pretended to appease it for now.

Otherwise, her hair would be pulled out.

“Okay, then let’s say I’m the Queen.”

“The word ‘for now’ doesn’t fit at all!”

“Okay, I’m the Queen.”

It was an atmosphere where reason wouldn’t prevail.

It seemed better to quickly get the necessary information first, and then persuade the fairies or run away secretly.

‘But I don’t want to treat them badly.’

If others had acted so stubbornly, Chesha would have answered with an axe without saying a word.

But she kept feeling a sense of responsibility towards the fairies.

Chesha took the rabbit doll, which was still pulling her hair, and held it in her arms.

She asked the fairies, who looked like they were about to cry, softly in a gentle voice.

“I have a few questions. Can you tell me?”

“…Anything.”

Ria said gloomily.

“But before that, I would like to hold a banquet for the Queen. A banquet to celebrate your return.”

She was not in a position to leisurely enjoy a banquet.

But the moment she thought about refusing, they all looked like they would burst into tears.

She was wondering what to do.

The fairies suddenly hardened their tearful faces.

They all looked up at the sky.

Chesha also felt a stinging sensation and looked at the sky.

Suddenly, dark clouds were gathering in the clear blue sky.

Dark clouds in the fairies’ illusionary world.

It was absurd.

Following the gray dark clouds covering the sky, lightning flashed….

Something shot down like lightning with a thunderous sound.

What stretched out from the sky and plunged into the ground was a pure white chain.
