The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 178

The Baby Fairy is a Villain – Episode 178 (178/200)

The first to react to the man’s statement was Sionel.

“How insolent.”

Sionel glared fiercely at the man.

Belatedly, Marquis Nemea let out a hollow laugh.

The Nemea family, known as the lions guarding the Palen Empire, had produced outstanding knights.

A clueless, green young man was no match for them to carelessly judge.

But why?

Theo didn’t feel like his words were empty boasting.

Maybe it was because Karha came to mind.

“Be thankful that I don’t have a sword in my hand. Otherwise, your impudence would have been atoned for with death.”

Sionel took a step towards the man.

She was threatening, not hiding her murderous intent.

But the man wasn’t scared, nor was he surprised.

He was just looking at Theo.

He furrowed his brow slightly and asked.

“Are you still doing that?”

“…….”

At the man’s question, Theo opened his lips slightly.

A multitude of excuses swirled in his mouth.

Clearly, Theo was also trying to change.

While serving as a guard knight for the Vasilios family, he stayed by their side and learned a lot.

So, he also vowed to become a person worthy of Vasilios.

After the Minor Saint Prayer meeting, he planned to bring Lady Chesha to the Marquis family and introduce her to his father and sister in person.

Then, he was going to honestly tell them that he wanted to become her knight.

Of course, they would strongly oppose it, but that didn’t matter.

He wasn’t asking for permission.

It was only to let them know what path Theo Nemea would take in the future.

For Theo, who had always been held back by his father, it was a life-changing decision.

But he wasn’t afraid of change.

Rather, he was filled with pleasant anticipation.

He had discussed these thoughts and feelings with Karha at the time, and Karha had promised to help him wholeheartedly.

So, he tried to take courage and challenge himself, but…

‘Lady Chesha disappeared.’

So everything stopped.

It was never about blaming Chesha.

It was just that Theo’s desire to change had also been broken.

It was all a decision that stemmed from the desire to be by Lady Chesha’s side.

Over the past year, the heart that had been slowly eroded and collapsed, and was now thought to have completely disappeared, suddenly stirred within him.

The man gestured with his hand, urging him.

“I’m busy, so let’s go quickly.”

Theo bit his lower lip and walked towards the man.

“Theo!”

Theo didn’t stop, even at Sionel’s urgent call.

“It seems you have business with me, so I’ll go and have a conversation for a moment.”

His father and sister also looked at Theo with bewildered eyes.

They couldn’t readily react to Theo’s rebellion, which they had never imagined.

While the two were hesitating, Theo hurriedly followed the man who was already ahead.

Only after reaching a place where no one could be felt did he call out his name.

“Karha-nim [formal title of respect].”

Then, a mischievous smile returned.

“You recognized me right away? You’ve never seen me like this before.”

It was Karha after all.

Theo, who had been half-doubtful, breathed a sigh of relief inside.

“It’s been a while. Have you been… well?”

He couldn’t have been doing well.

Even though he knew that fact, this was the only greeting he could offer.

As if understanding Theo’s heart, Karha shrugged his shoulders.

“Well, as you know, I haven’t been doing well.”

Theo looked at Karha, who was now about the same height as him, with unfamiliar eyes.

After Chesha disappeared, the three Vasilios brothers also rarely showed their faces outside.

However, even the occasional news that came to his ears was enough to guess how painful their days were.

But for some reason, the Karha in front of him had a bright face.

“You’re still close with the security forces, right? Everyone misses the old security captain.”

“Yes.”

Theo answered dazedly.

He still maintained a close relationship with the capital’s security forces.

They often hung out together and had drinking parties.

Whenever they got heavily drunk, they would all cling to Theo and cry, begging him to return as the security captain, which was a daily occurrence.

Karha, who was nodding to himself, suddenly said.

“Good. Decide now.”

Karha didn’t give any explanation.

He just presented Theo with a choice.

“Whether to follow Vasilios or remain as a member of Nemea.”

“Vasilios.”

Karha raised his eyebrows at the immediate answer, which he gave without even a moment’s hesitation.

Since he had decided from the moment he left his father and sister, no, from the moment he was by Lady Chesha’s side.

There was no reason to hesitate.

“Good choice.”

Karha, who had given him a compliment, looked around for a moment.

Then, he lowered his voice even more and began to speak.

“The reason I came to find Sir Theo… is because I wanted you to draw the attention of the security forces.”

Theo froze for a moment.

What on earth could be the reason to lure the attention of the security forces?

“Ka, Karha-nim. What are you trying to do…? If it’s, if it’s something dangerous.”

“I’ll let you meet Chesha instead.”

“…Yes?”

To Theo, who was wide-eyed with surprise, Karha confidently declared.

“The world is about to change, Sir Theo.”

Taking the fainted Kieren, I returned to Duke Evroyel’s private lounge for now.

After laying Kieren neatly on the sofa, Serea burst into the room not long after.

“Kieren Vasilios!”

She shouted, veins popping out of her neck, making the room echo.

“This crazy bastard, making a mess of the banquet hall and then passing out here like he’s sleeping……!”

Then she stopped talking abruptly.

Serea, who had been burning with anger, carefully called out another person’s name in a thin voice.

“…Rose?”

But she quickly realized her mistake and corrected herself.

“No, could it be, is it Chesha……?”

Chesha, who had grown up in the meantime, gave Serea a slightly awkward smile and waved her hand.

Serea looked at Chesha with disbelief, and looked again.

After being open-mouthed for a while, she muttered.

“This can’t be.”

After uttering a short exclamation, she was silent for a long time and then said to herself again.

“This is… really amazing.”

Kieren ran out of the banquet hall like a madman.

Serea almost fainted at his insane behavior.

She thought that this bastard must have gone to find Chesha, so she hurried after him.

When she threw open the door to the private lounge.

Serea thought for a moment that Rose was standing in front of her.

Because her lovely pink eyes and dazzling golden hair looked just like her.

But when she took a closer look at her still youthful face, her upturned eyes, and her other features, she realized it was her goddaughter.

Serea asked with a serious face.

“Did you grow again?”

Almost nothing is known about fairies, but Serea could tell that this situation was abnormal.

She was a child who had barely returned.

She spent days withering away while the child was gone.

Serea also loved Chesha, but it was nothing compared to the feelings the Vasilios men had.

The tragedy of the Vasilios family falling apart after losing Rose seemed to be repeating itself, and she sometimes had nightmares.

A nightmare in which her crazy disciple went on a rampage and blew away the entire Palen Empire with the twisted power of black magic…….

Serea didn’t love the Palen Imperial Family, but she loved the Palen Empire.

That’s why she personally fought in the past war and protected the empire.

In order to avoid the worst ending where the Vasilios family collapses and the Palen Empire disappears.

The safety of Chesha Vasilios, who had barely returned, was more important than anything else.

She was wondering what to do with this, feeling 막막 [hopeless].

“Your Grace.”

Chesha, who had grown so much that the word ‘child’ no longer suited her, asked in a clear voice.

“Please take me to the banquet hall too.”
