The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 157

Chesha’s plan was proceeding very smoothly.

As expected, Itar was completely taken in by the prospect of meeting a succubus [a supernatural being that appears in dreams to seduce men].

He, who had been trying to keep Chesha in the Skaya Kingdom, began preparing for the journey to the Palen Empire more actively than anyone else.

Although the procession included two members of the Skaya royal family, the number of people was kept to a minimum.

Also, they made sure it didn’t look like a Skaya royal procession on the surface.

It was all Chesha’s request.

‘We have to go secretly.’

If it were to be discovered that ‘Chesha Vasillian’ was traveling with the Skaya royal family, it would become troublesome in many ways.

Of course, it would be nice if Kiern and the three brothers, or Hylon, came to find him.

But before that, there was a high possibility that unwanted people would flock to him.

‘If I’m not careful, a bloodbath could sweep across the entire continent.’

Even the Skaya royal family, who were currently responsible for Chesha’s safety, might be unfairly caught up in it and be executed.

Anyway, he was trying to figure out how to avoid causing trouble for Aran, who was helping him.

“Chesha!”

Aran came running, all aflutter.

Samid, who had been chasing after the tomboy princess, quietly caught his breath.

“Finally, today is the day! I’m so excited to go on a trip with you!”

Aran was very excited.

She said that she was bored to death during the Minor Saint Prayer, but she wouldn’t be bored at all if she was with Chesha, chattering on and on.

Chesha humored Aran, who was jumping up and down with joy, and went to get on the carriage.

As it was a procession heading to the Empire in secret, they were planning to switch to a carriage without the royal crest at the back gate, not the main gate of the palace.

At the head of the procession, Itar, with half of his face covered by a hood, was riding a horse.

He was talking to the mercenaries wearing plain clothes and light armor when he saw Chesha and Aran and grinned.

“……”

Aran’s eyes quickly narrowed.

“Chesha Vasillian.”

Aran held Chesha’s hand tightly and whispered.

“I will definitely send you home. Don’t worry.”

It would be better to worry about the future of the Skaya Crown Prince, but Chesha smiled brightly, pretending not to know.

There were a total of five carriages.

One each for Itar, Aran, and Chesha, and the other two were luggage carriages carrying gifts to be given to the Vasillian family and the Palen Imperial family.

It was when Chesha was about to get into the carriage assigned to him.

The royal soldiers guarding the surroundings were whispering.

“What’s with that dog?”

“It’s been hanging around the palace for a while now.”

“Oh, right. It looks cute, but it has a bad temper. The kids even tried to give it food, but it wouldn’t eat it at all. And it barks so much.”

“I wonder who abandoned such a cute puppy.”

“What a terrible owner.”

Chesha, who had been listening quietly, slowly turned around.

A small puppy being chased away by a soldier could be seen in the distance.

It was a very scruffy puppy.

The dirty puppy was so dirty that he couldn’t even recognize his original fur color.

The puppy was so skinny that his ribs were visible.

His leg was also limping, as if he had been injured somewhere.

“Shoo! Get out of here!”

The soldier stomped on the ground, making a threatening sound.

It was an action that would have made an ordinary stray animal run away.

But the puppy didn’t back down.

“Woof…! Woof woof……!”

He just kept barking with a voice that was completely hoarse.

He had barked so much that his crying sound could not be heard properly.

“Oh, poor thing.”

A female soldier next to the male soldier squatted down and tried to stroke the puppy.

But the puppy rudely rejected the soldier’s touch and tried to run this way, wriggling through their legs.

“Oh no!”

If he accidentally injured the precious body of the royal family, he would be put down immediately.

The soldier, terrified that the puppy might lose his innocent life, quickly grabbed him.

The puppy, who had desperately run, struggled as he was quickly caught because he was so weak.

The eyes of the puppy, wriggling his short legs, were purple.

“…Hata.”

His heart sank.

Chesha ran wildly.

The puppy also slipped out of the soldier’s grasp.

“Oh!”

The surprised soldier let out a shriek.

Regardless, Chesha and the puppy ran towards each other.

The puppy, who jumped up with all his might, hugged Chesha.

Chesha hugged the puppy and called his name.

“Hata!”

“Kkeung…….”

Hata snuggled into Chesha, whimpering.

“What’s going on?”

Aran came over in surprise.

She was about to get in the carriage, but suddenly picked up a puppy, so she was surprised.

“It’s my puppy.”

What kind of expression did I have when I said that?

Aran, who saw Chesha’s face, was speechless for a moment, then opened her mouth belatedly.

“…I think I remember.”

He had been with her during the Minor Saint Prayer, so he seemed to have recognized him roughly.

With Aran’s permission, Chesha got into the carriage with Hata.

She quickly got water and food, fed him, and wiped his body with a clean cloth.

Only then did he return to the Hata that Chesha knew.

“What happened?!”

He was so upset that his voice naturally grew louder.

He thought he would be staying at the Vasillian mansion.

He never imagined that he would run into him on the street in this state.

The Vasillian brothers liked Hata quite a bit, so they wouldn’t have kicked him out.

He must have run away on his own.

Since he couldn’t hide his ears and tail in his beast form, he seemed to have come to the Skaya Kingdom in the form of a puppy.

With such small feet.

The soft paws were covered in wounds and as hard as stones.

Hata drooped his ears as he watched Chesha, who was upset.

“Is Hata a bad puppy?”

He couldn’t bring himself to say no, so he pursed his lips tightly.

“I wanted to wait quietly. But…….”

Hata tapped Chesha with his front paw.

“I felt Richessia’s energy.”

He had been waiting for Chesha for a long time.

One year was a short time for a beast with a long lifespan.

But for Hata, that one year was like eternity.

The moment Chesha left the Fairy Kingdom and returned to the human world.

Hata could feel Chesha’s energy that had been cut off.

“But Hata wasn’t called.”

He naturally thought that Chesha would summon him.

Hata and Chesha were connected by a master-servant contract.

But no matter how long he waited, Chesha did not summon Hata.

“I was wondering if Hata had been abandoned, so…….”

It was because Chesha had lost most of her power.

But for Hata, who didn’t know anything, it was enough to misunderstand.

“I was wondering if Hata was no longer needed, then, well, there’s nothing I can do…. H, Hata, is going to go to Richessia for the last time, to say thank you…….”

Hata couldn’t continue speaking.

Round teardrops welled up.

“Hng, heuk, H, Hata, wants to, keep, being by Richessia’s side, hng, I, I want to…….”

Hata, who barely pleaded while sobbing, finally burst into tears.

“How could I abandon you?”

Chesha comforted Hata, but said firmly.

Hata asked, tears streaming down his face.

“Hata is Richessia’s puppy, right?”

“You’re mine until you die.”

“I want to be Richessia’s puppy even after I die.”

“…Okay.”

After barely comforting the crying puppy, she briefly explained what had happened.

Hata, who heard Chesha’s story, tilted his head, bringing one paw to his cheek.

“So, the rabbit doll is the Fairy Queen’s crown, and it moves and talks?”

“Yes. A pretty cute doll…, Hata!”

As soon as she praised the rabbit doll, Hata slapped the rabbit doll with his front paw.

It was cotton, so it was a soft sound, but if it wasn’t, it would have been a popping sound—it was such a strong front paw.

Fortunately, the rabbit doll didn’t explode; it just flew to the corner of the carriage.

“Oops, my bad.”

Hata, who had sent the rabbit doll far away, smiled and wagged his tail cutely.

“I was surprised because I thought it might be cuter than Hata. That can’t be.”

“……”

I had forgotten for a moment that Hata was a jealous dog.

While picking up the rabbit doll and putting it on a chair far away, Hata raised one paw and announced his opinion.

“On the way to the Palen Empire, how about stopping by the underworld for a while? Because Hata has made the adult medicine again. And the Vasillian brothers are there. But…….”

Hata hesitated and added.

“Their condition is a bit strange.”
