The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 69

The arrogant runaway baby had become humble.

‘If they come looking for me, I should just go home quietly.’

In her current state of mind, she could even film a tearful reunion with her family.

“Hieuwoong.”

Chesha sighed deeply, as if the ground was sinking beneath her.

If Kiernan found out she was a fairy, she would die.

‘I need to survive first.’

Until she found a way to turn her body back into an adult, Chesha, as a fragile baby, decided to hide in Vasillian County.

Taking advantage of the situation, she also planned to attend the Minor Saint Prayer Meeting.

‘I have to enter the Holy Empire anyway.’

But she was worried.

She had temporarily patched things up like this, but how long could she live as a baby?

Even worse, a baby that doesn’t grow.

Even after just one year, people would start to get suspicious.

She needed to solve the problem, but being a fairy, there was no one she could ask.

‘No, there is someone….’

It was the legendary Fairy Kingdom, where fairies who had fled from humans gathered their strength and created a huge Reverse World [a hidden dimension or sanctuary] to hide.

However, Chesha didn’t know how to find it, and they hadn’t contacted Chesha, who had misaligned powers.

Judging by the occasional fairy hunt, it seemed they left fairies who were hybrids with humans alone without interfering.

‘Let’s think about this slowly for now.’

Hatta had disappeared to make another potion, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Having sorted out her thoughts, Chesha waited for the day Kiernan would come.

And finally, the promised day arrived.

A carriage with the Vasillian County’s crest stopped in front of the mansion.

Hailon, holding Chesha and looking out the window, muttered lowly.

“How persistent.”

“…….”

They had promised to meet in a week but hadn’t told Kiernan where to come.

The guy who didn’t tell him was unbelievable, but the guy who found his way on his own was just as impressive.

Chesha shook her head inwardly.

“Stay in the room for a moment.”

Hailon placed Chesha in a room filled with dolls, toys, fairy tales, and other baby supplies swept from all the shops in the capital, and went downstairs to greet the uninvited guest.

‘I can’t miss this!’

The two of them would be sharing information about fairy experiments today, so she had to eavesdrop no matter what.

With a determined expression, Chesha firmly attached the butterfly to her forehead.

Having concealed her presence, Chesha succeeded in sneaking into the drawing room.

She was a little late because she had to hide her presence while moving, and Kiernan had already handed over some of the information to Hailon.

Hailon, sitting on the sofa, was expressionlessly flipping through the papers.

Glancing at them, Chesha saw the contents she had seen in the Black Forest.

Kiernan, sitting across from him, was elegantly drinking black tea.

He seemed a little thinner, his jawline sharper than before.

Hailon, who had been reading the papers for a while, raised his eyes to look at Kiernan.

“Even if all this information is true.”

Hailon said in a cold voice, as if interrogating a heretic.

“It doesn’t seem like the Count would have any reason to be interested in fairy experiments.”

Kiernan struck a heavy blow from the start.

“My wife is a fairy.”

“…!”

This was a statement that even the great Hailon couldn’t help but be surprised by.

Not missing the agitation that arose in him, Kiernan continued.

“She didn’t know she was a fairy at first. She had lost her memory and was abandoned in the Black Forest. Of course, I didn’t know either.”

The fairy’s body is similar to that of a human.

There was no way to distinguish between humans and fairies unless they used their powers to reveal their special characteristics.

If there was a distinguishing feature, it would be their beautiful appearance.

So, the fairy who had lost her memory, and Kiernan who had taken her as his wife, didn’t know the truth.

“Then how did you find out she was a fairy?”

At Hailon’s question, Kiernan smiled.

“My wife disappeared before my eyes.”

“…….”

He continued calmly, without any sadness.

“Just before she died, she used the power of a fairy to show me the Reverse World. And I watched her disappear.”

Kiernan smiled.

His mouth drew a smooth curve.

“That appearance was different from the death of an ordinary human… I couldn’t help but know.”

However, beneath the calm tone, there was a madness that he couldn’t hide.

It was a chilling madness that even Hailon was momentarily silenced by.

Chesha, who was quietly tucked away in the corner, stifled a hollow laugh.

‘A lie.’

It was a statement that cleverly mixed truth and lies.

It takes enormous power for a fairy to create a Reverse World.

It was impossible for a fairy on the verge of death to create a Reverse World.

Unless they had the power of a queen.

Judging from what Karha had said before.

Perhaps the Countess had created a Reverse World to deceive Kiernan and escaped just before she died.

And she would have faced death alone in a quiet place.

‘Why did she run away? Did she not want to show him her dying 모습 [mosub: Korean word for appearance or figure]?’

As Chesha speculated, the conversation continued.

“I want to find those who abandoned my wife in the Black Forest. And the Inquisitor would not turn a blind eye to the injustice of the Holy Empire. Because we have the same goal.”

Kiernan slyly smiled, keeping the words about reviving the dead hidden beneath his tongue.

“Let’s join hands, that’s what I mean.”

Hailon infused the paper he was holding with divine power.

The letters engraved with black magic were purified by the divine power and disappeared.

“What benefit would I get from joining hands with a black magician?”

Hailon returned the blank paper to Kiernan and stared intently at him.

“If I take the Count to the Inquisitorial Office right now, I will naturally obtain all the information.”

Hailon’s words were clear.

Don’t beat around the bush, show all your cards now.

And Kiernan more than satisfied what Hailon demanded.

“You’re too harsh.”

Kiernan frowned, as if he was upset.

“When I entered your territory before, didn’t I send you back safely?”

“…….”

Hailon’s eyes narrowed.

Kiernan smiled and leaned back on the sofa.

His arrogant attitude suited him like a tailored suit.

“The fact that the noble Inquisitor infiltrated the underworld….”

Kiernan said, flashing his red eyes seductively.

“As the owner of that place, I covered it up.”

“…Ha.”

Hailon let out a hollow laugh.

He seemed to have no idea that the Count of Vasillian was the owner of the underworld.

Kiernan smiled pleasantly at the reaction of being hit.

The shadows soared and swallowed the blank paper.

Kiernan, who had used black magic in front of the Inquisitor, tilted his head and asked.

“Do you feel like having a serious conversation now?”

***

Kiernan and Hailon formed a temporary alliance.

It was an extremely unstable alliance formed by beings who were the worst of enemies.

But thanks to the two men being in the same boat, Chesha felt more at ease.

In particular, with Hailon’s help, the range of movement within the Holy Empire would be much greater, which was even more advantageous.

Chesha, who had returned to her room before their conversation ended, was deep in thought.

The dead Countess….

Kiernan often saw her in Chesha.

‘Why did I have to resemble the dead Countess?’

There was no possibility that she was Chesha’s mother.

Lichecia was born before the Countess and Kiernan even met.

The timeline didn’t match at all.

‘And the Countess probably died before she went crazy.’

Her death would have been noble.

Unlike Chesha’s mother.

‘My father can’t be someone like Kiernan either.’

Chesha was guessing that she was born from an unwanted relationship.
