The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 166

Miya had inherited Beastman blood, but it was so diluted she wasn’t even aware of it.

Then, she accidentally discovered she was a Beastman.

And also that she had the power to make potions.

With her skillful hands, Miya secretly began manufacturing and selling potions, one by one.

That’s when Kiernan caught her.

At the time, Kiernan was interested in Beastman potions.

After observing potions produced by various Beastmen, he confirmed Miya’s were the most effective.

So, he decided to keep only Miya.

He eliminated the rest and brainwashed Miya to completely forget she was a Beastman.

And he made her create potions whenever he needed them.

Only for the Master.

But the instincts engraved in her body couldn’t be ignored.

Miya often imitated Beastmen.

However, there were even crazier people in the underworld, so Miya was able to run her costume shop without raising suspicion.

Only those around her who knew Miya as human were disgusted by her behavior.

Her blood was so diluted it didn’t show externally, so even the Fairy’s modified creature, also a Beastman, didn’t notice Miya’s true identity.

It was a perfect secret.

However, he hadn’t anticipated Miya being in charge of the Basilian family’s costumes.

Checking each potion Miya had made, Kiernan asked casually.

“Has anything unusual happened in the underworld?”

He had taken Jahan and the three brothers to the underworld to work.

However, Kiernan didn’t fully trust even those closest to him.

Especially the three brothers, who were of Basilian blood.

They were children who could turn on Kiernan at any time if things went wrong, so he tried not to let his guard down.

So, Kiernan would ask Miya about various things whenever he came to get potions.

Miya answered cheerfully to his casual question.

“There was a slightly strange incident early one rainy morning a while ago.”

“What happened?”

“Jahan kicked everyone out of a specific area.”

He suddenly kicked everyone out early in the morning, leaving an entire district empty.

The people who had been suddenly kicked out were only able to return to their district after a long time.

“Ah.”

This was a fact Kiernan hadn’t been informed of.

Stroking the glass bottle in his hand, Kiernan smiled quietly.

It seemed his lovely sons were causing trouble behind his back.

He didn’t know their intentions, but…

‘Should I pretend not to know?’

The three brothers had been through a lot lately because of Kiernan.

It was thanks to Kiernan going crazy after Chesha left.

Secretly sponsoring the traitor Hylon and raiding the Fairy Kingdom, taking all the fairies hostage, were just the beginning of a mountain of aftermath to be dealt with.

That was just the beginning.

Kiernan caused all sorts of incidents.

He openly revealed the close relationship between the Master [the ruler of the underworld] and the Basilian Count’s family, without publicly revealing his identity as the Master, and seized control of the Palen Empire’s political world.

Thanks to this, the Basilian Count’s family had taken control of the empire in just over a year.

However, rapid growth has its side effects.

Kiernan only ran forward without looking back, so the three brothers were responsible for handling all the problems that arose in the meantime.

Then, occasionally, when his madness flared up, he suddenly lost contact.

Whenever that happened, his memories were hazy.

When he came to his senses, he was either stuck in the Black Forest for over a week, slaughtering monsters, or waking up in a completely unexpected place.

Most were places where Rose and Chesha’s memories remained.

He would suffer from hallucinations and auditory hallucinations alone in a place where no one was around, and then barely regain his sanity and return.

Of course, the three brothers also bore the brunt of Kiernan’s madness and disappearance.

If he wasn’t their father, Belzeon would have poisoned Kiernan’s tea long ago.

Kiernan held the potion bottle in his hand and held it up to the light.

He smiled as he stared at the shimmering liquid.

“I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but I guess I have to let you get away with it once.”

Because they were family.

Miya tilted her head at Kiernan’s murmur.

He waved his hand lightly at Miya, who was tilting her head, wondering if there was anything she needed to do.

“Good work. I’ll come to pick up the next potion in a month.”

“Yes! Master.”

He was about to brainwash Miya again, who was smiling brightly.

“…….”

Kiernan suddenly turned around.

His long eyes narrowed slightly.

His sharp gaze, like a snake, slowly scanned the costume shop.

He examined each one, from behind the large furniture to the secluded corners, to the fancy costumes hanging on the mannequins, and then made a short sound, “Hmm.”

Then he turned his gaze back to Miya.

With a snap of his fingers, Miya, who had been smiling brightly until just now, slowly closed her eyes.

She slumped down on the chair behind the counter and dropped her head.

She looked like she was dozing off while watching the store.

Kiernan, who had packed his potion bag, opened the store door.

Clang, the bell rang.

Kiernan stood still for a moment, holding the store door.

He stood there for a while with a blank face, then moved his feet again.

The costume shop door closed slowly.

Finally, when the door was completely closed and Kiernan had left.

“…Haa.”

Chesha and Hata, whose faces were red from holding their breath, appeared in the costume shop.

***

Chesha and Hata hid themselves and went to Miya’s costume shop.

The moment the costume shop came into view in the distance.

Chesha stopped abruptly in surprise.

She had discovered Kiernan standing in front of Miya’s costume shop.

It was someone she hadn’t seen in a long time.

He seemed the same as ever, but many things had changed.

His beautiful appearance, like a bright red rose, and his thorny, dangerous aura were still the same.

His dizzying beauty, which captivated those who saw him, was still there, but the changes were also noticeable.

‘His eyes have become even stranger.’

He looked like someone who would smile and accept dying tomorrow morning, or even right now.

He was very unstable when he was with Chesha, but now he was like a cracked glass doll.

Kiernan was smiling with a precarious look in his eyes, as if he would shatter into pieces if touched.

Her heart stung at the crooked smile on his lips.

After hesitating, Chesha somehow followed Kiernan into the store…

And saw everything.

‘Miya was a Beastman!?’

It was a truth she had never dreamed of.

Chesha and Hata were so surprised they couldn’t speak and just stared at each other.

‘Wow……’

She’s really good at lying.

Chesha was sincerely impressed.

When Miya came to the Basilian Count’s residence for clothing alterations, Kiernan pretended not to know her perfectly.

He even completely deceived the three brothers.

‘As expected, not just anyone can be the Master of the underworld.’

She was stunned as if she had been hit hard on the back of the head, then suddenly came to her senses.

“This is not the time to be doing this.”

Chesha quickly put the flowers back on Hata and her forehead [referencing a previous event where they used flowers for disguise].

“Let’s follow him!”

“Yes?”

Hata, who was trembling with fear, jumped in place.

“We need to find out what Kiernan is doing in the underworld.”

How much of it is true and how much is false?

She had followed the three brothers and obtained some clues, but in the end, the owner of the underworld was Kiernan.

He was the beginning and the end of everything.

The reason Chesha first decided to be adopted into the Basilian Count’s family was to investigate him.

This time, she would dig it up to her heart’s content.

And, perhaps, if she secretly followed Kiernan…

‘Maybe I can find out some information about the Countess.’

She wanted to see even just a portrait of her.
