The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 56

“Brother!”

Having barely escaped Hাইল론, Chesya had a touching reunion with Belzeon.

Belzeon quickly picked up Chesya, who came running to him.

He carefully checked Chesya for any injuries.

Only after confirming that she wasn’t hurt did he ask,

“Did that knight ask you anything strange?”

He seemed concerned that Chesya had told him about her biological parents.

“No strange things!”

Actually, there were plenty.

But there was no story she could tell Belzeon.

Chesya, offering a little white lie, drooped her body to avoid further conversation.

“Tired……”

She whined, acting like a real baby and saying she was tired, and Belzeon’s attention was completely focused on that.

Thanks to that, she was able to safely avoid the awkward story.

Chesya, who entered the assigned room with Belzeon, was inwardly impressed.

The temple had given them a room that was excessively good for little guests.

It was a guest room with a bedroom, living room, small reception room, and bathroom.

Chesya could easily guess that Hাইল론 was behind the temple’s favor.

‘Jerk…….’

Being an acquaintance of a powerful person was really a good thing.

However, despite being able to use such a good room, Belzeon hardly stayed in it.

He was very busy, seemingly going around to find out about something here and there.

Still, because he put Chesya in the safe temple, he was able to go out to distant places with peace of mind.

Belzeon sometimes returned at dawn after a full day.

On those days, he would sneak to Chesya’s side while she was sleeping and snuggle up next to her.

It was common to wake up in Belzeon’s arms.

‘This is like Kieren.’

Kieren also often came to Chesya while she was asleep and slept with her.

Blood was thicker than water, it seemed.

So, as she had done for Kieren, Chesya patted the sleeping Belzeon with her small hands.

Chesya’s touch was quite effective.

When she patted his body, the face he had been frowning in his sleep softened.

And soon, he would breathe evenly and fall asleep comfortably.

‘What is he going around outside for…….’

Looking at him coming back exhausted, it seemed like he was doing something difficult.

And while Belzeon was busy going around, Chesya spent a leisurely time for the first time in a while.

It was a pleasant and relaxing time without the annoying twins or the quarrelsome Kieren.

Waking up late and eating whenever she wanted.

Taking a leisurely stroll through the green garden while looking around the temple, and giving appropriate responses to the priests and knights who would come up to her and talk to the baby walking around with the puppy.

Then, when she got bored, she would return to her room, read a book, and take a nap hugging Hata.

It was a truly peaceful routine.

However, even in the gentle peace, Chesya felt a sense of unease.

‘Kieren is too quiet, which makes me uneasy.’

He probably knew she was in the temple by now.

But it was suspicious that he was so quiet without any reaction.

Belzeon would be preventing him from approaching easily, and he would be busy cleaning up after the previous fire…….

Still, it was too quiet.

Chesya, who had been speculating on various reasons, suddenly realized that she was strangely waiting for Kieren.

She had been losing her mind because her daily life had been so peaceful lately.

Chesya shuddered and muttered.

“Crazy……”

And not long after, Chesya’s peace was soon shattered.

***

It was a night when Belzeon was out.

Hata had also gone out to get potion ingredients, so Chesya was left alone in the temple.

She played with the temple knights for a while, went to the restaurant with them for a meal, and was now lazing around in her room.

The temple, where darkness had fallen, was quiet.

During the day, it was bustling with worshipers coming and going and praying, but at night, it was quiet enough to feel chilly.

As a result of wandering around pretending to look around the temple for the past few days, there was nothing useful here after all.

‘I’ll have to go to the Holy Empire…….’

She was lying on the sofa in the reception room, pondering how to infiltrate the Holy Empire.

She felt a rapidly approaching presence.

The footsteps were different from Belzeon’s.

She sat up from the sofa at the same time as the door burst open.

“…?”

It was Hাইল론.

He was such a busy person that she hadn’t even seen his face properly except for the first day he came to the temple.

But he had suddenly come to visit in the middle of the night like this.

Hাইল론 coldly scanned the room.

After confirming that there was no one hiding inside, he suddenly picked up Chesya.

Her eyes widened at the sudden kidnapping, and Hাইল론 said coldly.

“Count Basilian has come.”

Chesya gasped.

“Stay by my side. He is a man who doesn’t know what he will do.”

It was a very accurate understanding of Kieren.

As he said, it would be safest by Hাইল론’s side.

Chesya hugged Hাইল론 without a word.

Hাইল론 quickly moved his steps while holding Chesya.

Even though the night was deep and dark, all the knights and priests of the temple were awake and outside.

They parted to the sides as if the sea had parted at the appearance of Hাইল론.

The temple entrance was wide open.

In the black darkness where the cool night wind was blowing, two uninvited guests standing in front of the open door were visible.

The slender man wearing a coat and holding a cane in one hand was Kieren.

‘Who is next to Kieren?’

The woman next to him was someone she had never seen before.

The tall woman had a very striking appearance.

Even her curly hair, which was a mix of pink and purple, was unique.

She was wearing pantsuits instead of dresses or skirts, and the muscles that were faintly revealed beyond her clothes were firm.

You could believe she was a knight who had trained in swordsmanship.

The woman waved her hand lightly.

Purple light flickered and swirled in her hand.

Then the dark temple brightened.

All the candlesticks and lamps were lit at the same time.

Seeing her magic, Chesya immediately realized her identity.

‘Duke Ibroiel……!’

She had roughly guessed from the skill of casting the tracking magic on Belzeon, but when she actually met her, she was definitely strong in magical power.

She thought that she might be stronger than Chesya had expected.

She looked at her with a mixture of slight competitiveness and strong curiosity.

But why was that?

Duke Ibroiel was also looking at Chesya.

At first, she thought she was looking at Hাইল론, but that was not the case at all.

Her gaze was directed exactly at Chesya.

It was persistent and even tenacious, as if she was asking her to look at her quickly.

Finally, when their eyes met, Duke Ibroiel winked at Chesya.

“……”

Chesya reflexively made a disgusted expression.

Surprisingly, Duke Ibroiel liked it even more.

She was grinning and looked like she was about to snatch Chesya away right away.

If she hadn’t been in Hাইল론’s arms, she would have really used magic to snatch Chesya away.

The priests and knights also seemed to have recognized the identity of the woman using purple magic.

“Why is Duke Ibroiel here……?”

One of the holy priests muttered suspiciously.

Duke Ibroiel suddenly came in the middle of the night.

If only Kieren had come, they would have told him it was late and sent him back to come again tomorrow.

But there was no one who could stop the duke of the Palen Empire, who was a member of the imperial family.

Everyone was just flustered and didn’t know how to respond.

“Sorry for the late hour.”

Duke Ibroiel opened her mouth in a loud voice.

The low, hoarse voice echoed loudly inside the temple.

“I heard that my goddaughter is here, so I came at the risk of being rude.”

The bishop, who had belatedly refined his clothes and appeared, was sweating profusely.

The elderly bishop was pale as if he was about to collapse in the face of the unexpected situation.

He gasped and said.

“I have never heard that Your Excellency’s goddaughter is staying at our temple.”

“That’s right. Because it’s a fact that hasn’t been publicly announced yet.”

The duke laughed heartily, saying that they were hearing it for the first time now.

“Chesya Basilian.”

Duke Ibroiel pointed her finger at Chesya.

“That child is my goddaughter.”
