The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 159

Chesha momentarily wondered if she had been gone for at least five years, not just one.

But that wasn’t the case.

How could things have changed so drastically in such a short time?

While she was frozen in shock at the sight of the grown-up Karha, he took a deep breath.

Wiping the rain from his face with the back of his hand, Karha took another step closer to Chesha.

Chesha, who had been staring with wide eyes, suddenly remembered her first encounter with Karha.

To be precise, it wasn’t their first meeting, but the day they properly faced each other and introduced themselves was similar to now.

Karha recognized Chesha, who was hiding her presence, with his beast-like senses.

He had chased Chesha for a long time, claiming he smelled flowers, leading to a chase around the underground prison.

Even now, Karha seemed to smell the floral scent from Chesha.

If it hadn’t been raining, Chesha would have been caught by him in no time.

“Flower scent.”

Muttering softly as he had that day, Karha reached out his hand.

The slowly approaching hand cut through the air.

It was when she was just staring at his rain-soaked hand with wide eyes.

“Lord Karha.”

A low voice cut through the pouring rain.

A man with his eyes covered by a cloth with intricate patterns landed lightly on the ground.

It was Jahan, Master’s direct subordinate.

“Lord Belzeon is calling for you.”

“I’ll go later.”

“It concerns Lady Chesha.”

Karha, who seemed like he would ignore anything, turned around immediately at those words.

He disappeared into the rain in an instant, before Chesha could even grab him.

It felt like a dream.

She wondered what was going on, then belatedly snapped out of it.

‘This is not the time for this!’

Chesha hurriedly tried to remove the flower attached to her forehead but paused.

“…….”

She bit her lower lip with her small teeth.

‘He changed so suddenly… I hope he’s not too surprised, right?’

It had only been a year.

It was impossible for a baby to grow into a child in that time.

She was worried about how he would react to her changed appearance.

While she was sure he would accept it without a second thought, she was also scared.

Chesha mumbled excuses in her mind.

‘Of course, it’s not just because I’m afraid of his reaction. I also need to figure out the situation!’

Even Hata, who knew that Basilian was abnormal, had mentioned that the three brothers had been acting strange lately.

As family, Chesha was curious about their situation.

But the Basilians would never tell Chesha the truth.

Kiern, the three brothers, all hated showing their bad sides and always hid things.

Karha walking around as an adult now too.

And the things that happened while Chesha was missing…….

There was a high possibility that they would bury everything without any explanation.

She was going to take this opportunity to find out what everyone had been up to.

Reattaching the flower she had tried to remove, Chesha quickly left a mark on Jahan as he walked away.

“…?”

Jahan, who was sweeping back his wet hair, felt a slight strangeness and looked around.

However, the rainy alleyway was empty.

Jahan soon turned his gaze away and moved to where Belzeon was.

***

Jahan had originally been living an ordinary life.

If there was anything unique about him, it was that his ancestors were from the distant Eastern continent.

Except for his unique name derived from an Eastern language, he was boringly ordinary.

However, Jahan’s peaceful life was ruined overnight.

It was because he had seen something he shouldn’t have seen.

Jahan gained cursed eyes as a price.

One day, while wandering around without belonging anywhere, a man came to find him.

The man had impressive raven-black hair and ruby-red eyes.

He didn’t flinch away in disgust even when he saw Jahan, who was covering his face with old rags.

He simply approached without hesitation and asked.

“What did you see?”

Jahan honestly confessed the story he had never told anyone.

“The death of a fairy.”

He hadn’t directly witnessed the fairy dying.

He had found the decaying forest and fields strange, and after hearing that it was caused by a mad fairy, he became curious and went to investigate.

That was when he accidentally discovered the place where the fairy had died.

It was a mystical sight beyond words.

A black forest where everything had rotted and decayed.

Only the place where the fairy had died sparkled with brilliant light.

The scene of light shattering and flower petals scattering was as beautiful as a fairy tale, but it also seemed somewhat cruel due to the gloomy scenery surrounding it.

Jahan, who had been captivated by the mystical sight, belatedly felt intense pain.

He screamed as if his eyeballs were being pulled out.

After rolling on the floor while shedding tears of blood, he barely regained his senses.

Jahan’s eyes were ruined.

The whites and pupils had completely disappeared, and green eyes filled the space.

The pupils, which should have been round, became vertically pointed like those of a reptile.

Even snake scales sprouted here and there on his body.

Influenced by the power emitted when the fairy died, partial heteromorphosis [transformation into a different form] had progressed.

Jahan, who had become neither beast nor human, despaired.

He couldn’t hide his grotesquely changed eyes.

He had no choice but to return to the village as he was, but he was pelted with stones as a monster.

Barely escaping, Jahan tore a cloth and wrapped it around his face like a mummy to cover his eyes.

While wandering around like that, the man came to find him.

The man who heard Jahan’s story, sparkled with interest.

“It must have been a pretty strong fairy. To turn a human into a beast-man to that extent…….”

He used the end of his cane to lift Jahan’s chin.

Jahan, who had been looking down at the floor to hide his hideous eyes, made eye contact with the man.

Even while looking at the small snake scales that had sprouted on the corner of his eyes and the green eyes that filled the space without whites, the man showed no sign of disgust.

The bright red eyes were filled only with interest and amusement.

“I like that you’re a snake beast-man.”

The man whispered with a sly smile.

“Would you like to work under me?”

That was how Jahan became a subordinate of Kiern Basilian, the master of the underworld.

The situation of becoming a half-beast-man was despairing, but there were also advantages.

He had gained inhuman power.

The underworld was a place where all sorts of bizarre beings gathered.

If he had been an ordinary human, he wouldn’t have been able to handle the beings of the underworld.

Jahan faithfully carried out the role of the Master’s representative, making full use of his strengths.

However, since Jahan couldn’t handle all the work alone, Kiern brought his sons and used them as subordinates as well.

The eldest son, Belzeon, was in charge of various paperwork.

The twin brothers, as ‘Executioners,’ maintained order in the underworld with Jahan.

However, since they couldn’t reveal their identity as Basilians, the three brothers changed their appearances.

They transformed into adult bodies by drinking potions made with the power of the beast-men.

Very few beast-men could manufacture potions.

Currently, there were only two in the entire continent.

The beast-man Kiern had, and the witch’s dog.

But the witch’s dog was known to only be able to make simple potions.

‘When we first brought Lady Chesha, we fed her a potion.’

In case she had changed her appearance with a beast-man’s potion, he had secretly mixed a release potion into her food, following the magic control device.

But even then, the child did not return to being an adult.

After confirming that she was a real baby, Kiern gradually gave his heart to Chesha.

The little baby had become a great pillar of the Basilian County before he knew it.

‘Where could Lady Chesha be?’

Jahan thought of the sparkling pink eyes.

If Lady Chesha were here, this would never have happened.

Recently, the Basilian family had become completely strange.

They were committing acts that should not be done, but no one could stop them.

Even though they were doing things that Chesha would hate…….

Jahan couldn’t even dare to dissuade them.

They were already going crazy.

He was afraid that if he stopped them, they might bounce off in an even worse direction.

In the past, and even now.

The only one who could control the men of the Basilian family was Lady Chesha.

‘I hope nothing happens.’

Jahan anxiously swallowed his dry saliva and looked at the brothers who were talking in front of him.

“…You’re saying she’s in the Skaya royal family?”

Karha frowned and asked, after hearing Belzeon’s story.

“Why?”

His voice rose, as if slightly agitated.

“Of course, she should have come to us, the Basilians, first. There’s no reason for her to be there. She can even teleport with her fairy powers…….”

The man who was stroking the smooth mahogany desk with his fingers chuckled.

Belzeon, who had taken the body of an adult, looked a lot like his father, Kiern, but had a colder and more aloof feeling.

Belzeon, with his cold eyes, wore a subtly twisted smile on his lips.

“I guess so.”

He whispered in a frozen voice.

“Maybe she’s just sick of guys like us now.”
