The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 44

The Baby Fairy is a Villain – Episode 44 (44/200)

A record of fairy experiments from the Holy Empire of Hildred, dating back hundreds of years.

It was likely classified material within the Holy Empire.

How Kiern smuggled these materials out is unknown, but it was clear that their exposure would cause tremendous chaos across the continent.

That’s why he must have hidden them in the Black Forest, to avoid discovery.

He even magically engraved the information on a tree, as a second layer of concealment.

It was unbelievable.

Even though the Holy Empire of Hildred often acted hypocritically, they ultimately strived for light, justice, order, and good.

They would have executed fairies, whom they considered heretical beings, but they would never have captured and experimented on them.

Just look at how they sent the ‘Fairy Queen’s Crown,’ a sacred artifact, out of the Holy Empire.

If they were the kind of people who would experiment on fairies, they would have already taken that crown apart piece by piece and experimented on it.

Instead of ordering the death of the witch, they would have ordered her capture alive.

But the Holy Knights and Holy Priests, including the Inquisitors, were always eager to kill Chesha.

‘So, this must be a secret unknown even within the Holy Empire itself.’

Someone strongly supported Chesha’s conjecture.

It was Hylon.

He had a strong sense of integrity.

He didn’t necessarily pursue absolute good, but he wouldn’t taint his hands with unnecessary evil.

The only evil he had ever involved himself with was the witch Richessia.

He was not someone who would stand by and watch the Holy Empire cruelly experiment on fairies.

Hylon had the power, authority, and position to achieve what he believed was right.

‘But even Hylon doesn’t know.’

If the experiments from hundreds of years ago are still ongoing…

At least a Cardinal or the Holy Emperor—someone of that level—must be secretly leading them.

This explained why it had been so difficult for Chesha to find information related to fairy experiments.

‘I’ve never even suspected the Holy Empire.’

Chesha suddenly felt disgusted.

Fairies are all beings with strong minds, because all their power is connected to their minds.

Hwan-yeok [a type of illusion magic] is also an illusion created based on the fairy’s mind.

Therefore, they usually don’t ‘go crazy’ over trivial matters.

But the fairy who gave birth to Chesha went mad.

Perhaps she also suffered similar treatment to the experiments written here.

By those who believe in God.

Unable to freely touch a single blade of grass or a flower, trapped in a rigid space.

Her blood was drawn like an animal, and she was subjected to all sorts of painful things…

“…….”

Chesha clenched her small teeth.

The butterflies that had been leisurely wandering through the Black Forest reacted to their owner’s emotions and gathered all at once.

The sight of a swarm of butterflies swirling like a tornado over the swaying flower garden was threatening.

“Lady Richessia!”

Hata hurriedly crossed the flower garden.

The little puppy looked at Chesha with trembling eyes.

They could understand what each other was thinking without saying a word.

Chesha said the words he would most want to hear now.

“I’m okay.”

“But…….”

“Really. I was just a little surprised.”

She thought she might harm the flowers, so she withdrew the butterflies.

“…Hoo.”

Everything had returned to square one.

The rumor that the Empire’s three great noble families, which first led Chesha to jump into the Basilian County family, cruelly experimented on fairies…

It seemed that Kiern had collected information related to fairy experiments, and the rumors had spread incorrectly.

‘Kiern is rather similar to me.’

For some reason, he seemed to be in a similar position to Chesha, who was investigating fairy experiments.

Perhaps it was related to the Fairy Queen’s Crown he wanted, but she couldn’t be sure.

This was a problem that she would never be able to figure out until she asked Kiern directly.

“Then should we investigate the Holy Empire now?”

Hata asked Chesha, who was lost in thought, with concern.

Of course, even if the path Chesha was going to take was a fiery hell, Hata would gladly follow.

But he was worried that Chesha would get hurt by the flames.

Chesha slowly muttered.

“I guess so.”

She felt a sense of hopelessness.

She made a fuss about being dragged into the Holy Empire when she heard about the Minor Saint Prayer Meeting.

She was about to enter the Holy Empire and investigate on her own.

How could she, a witch, enter the Holy Empire and obtain data while avoiding the strict security?

Nothing was easy.

‘But to participate in the Minor Saint Prayer Meeting……’

Before that, Kiern might find out that she was a witch, and her head would fly off.

Chesha, who had been deep in thought, opened her mouth.

“Let’s go back for now.”

It was a complicated situation, but one thing had become clear.

There was nothing more to gain from the Basilian County family.

It was really time to leave.

***

That night.

Chesha held Hata in her arms and went to see Belzeon.

Of course, it was too much for her to walk to Belzeon’s office in her baby body.

So, she asked a servant to take her to where Belzeon was.

The servant who was asked by Chesha said something strange again.

He said that he wouldn’t wash his hands all day, and that it was like a dream come true to hold Chesha in his arms.

‘The servants here say strange things every time I ask them to hold me.’

But it didn’t matter as long as she achieved her goal.

Chesha let him talk as he pleased.

“Lady Chesha has come to see you.”

After knocking on the office door and announcing her visit, permission to enter was granted after a moment of silence.

Chesha asked the servant to put her down and ran over.

Belzeon, who was looking at documents at his desk, was surprised and stood up as she ran busily with her short legs.

“Hello.”

Chesha grabbed his pants and said seriously.

“I have something to say.”

And she emphasized by spreading out two fingers.

“Just the two of us.”

“Just the two of us?”

Belzeon seemed flustered, but he complied with Chesha’s wishes.

He sent out the secretary who was assisting him in the office and prevented the servants from passing by nearby.

“What’s going on?”

Belzeon asked coldly.

She knew that he wasn’t doing this because he really had any feelings for her, but because he was trying to distance himself, so she didn’t feel particularly bad.

Because they were about to leave anyway.

Chesha just told him what she needed to say.

“When should I leave?”

Perhaps he didn’t expect Chesha to bring this up first.

Belzeon’s eyes widened slightly.

After a moment of silence, he slowly averted his gaze.

He said without making eye contact with Chesha.

“…You have to leave at dawn the day after tomorrow.”

Belzeon’s voice, answering that she had to leave before the banquet, was a little lower than usual.

It seemed that he had already made all the plans and was going to suddenly send Chesha out at dawn without saying anything to her.

Well, what’s the point of telling a young baby in advance?

It was a reasonable judgment because she couldn’t be persuaded, and it would only get noisy if she said she didn’t want to leave.

“You can take anything you want with you.”

Belzeon offered things like money or jewels.

But there was only one thing Chesha wanted.

Chesha showed him Hata and said.

“I want to take the puppy with me.”

“…Is that all?”

“Yes!”

Belzeon looked at the puppy and Chesha with a stiff face.

His eyes trembled faintly.

Soon, Belzeon bit his lower lip.

He looked like he was holding something back.

“You can ask for more.”

He said, staring intently at Chesha.

“It means you can be greedy and ask the Basilian County family for a fortune.”
