The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 96

Kieren froze at the fairy’s words.

It had been a long time since he had experienced such a momentary pause in his thoughts.

He plastered his habitual smile on his face.

And, as if nothing were amiss, he smiled and asked back.

“…Queen?”

The fairy’s eyes were a light green.

A tender color like a new sprout, but her gaze was as firm as an old tree.

“She is the one who should have ascended to the Queen’s throne.”

The fairy glared at Kieren.

Her voice was filled with long-standing resentment.

“So, you’ve stolen our Queen from us once again. The greed of humans knows no end.”

“Aha.”

He didn’t understand everything the fairy was saying.

But he immediately grasped what she wanted.

Kieren tilted his head to the side and asked.

“So, you’re going to drag me to the Fairy Kingdom?”

“It’s not dragging.”

The fairy, answering firmly, looked at Kieren with calm eyes.

She whispered as if speaking the truth.

“It’s merely returning her to her rightful place.”

The moment the fairy finished speaking.

Kieren felt an unbearably intense murderous intent.

He had already lost someone precious.

He didn’t want to lose anything more.

No one could take Cheshire away from him.

Be it human or fairy….

Even if it were a god.

“……”

Slowly, he clenched his fist.

The surface of the leather glove rubbed, creating a small noise.

The shadow at his feet flickered subtly.

Kieren struggled to maintain his composure. He repeatedly reminded himself of how valuable and useful this being before him was, enduring with patience.

However, despite his desperate efforts, the fairy wasn’t helping.

The fairy was arrogant, unaware of her place.

“Let me meet her.”

It was a truly confident demand, as if she were reclaiming what was rightfully hers.

Kieren’s smile deepened.

It was a refreshing smile, but one that those who knew Kieren well would have felt a chill from and fled.

Kieren replied gently.

“Of course, I have to let you meet her.”

“…Really?”

“Of course. You’re both fairies, aren’t you? My child will also want to meet her own kind. If the child wants, the Fairy Kingdom? Well, I’ll send her there anytime.”

The fairy’s eyes widened slightly.

She seemed not to have expected Kieren to show such a favorable reaction.

It was written all over her face that she thought he was a kind human.

Was it because she was a being born from nature?

The untainted fairy was exceedingly naive.

Kieren continued to speak to her kindly.

“But before that, there are a few things I’m curious about.”

Unlike his gentle voice, a gruesome light flickered in Kieren’s eyes.

The more his red eyes gleamed eerily, the more the fairy’s eyes lost their light and blurred.

Kieren whispered sweetly to her.

“Can you answer them? For me.”

The fairy parted her lips.

But they only fluttered, and no answer came.

It seemed it was still a little lacking.

Kieren snapped his fingers twice, precisely.

His shadow lengthened strangely.

The shadow, stretched out like a snake, reached even to the feet of the fairy bound in white chains.

Darkness rose elongated from the shadow, coiling around the fairy’s legs like a black snake.

The slow, creeping movement was chillingly grotesque.

It was enough to scream, but the fairy didn’t even flinch.

She merely stared blankly at Kieren.

The darkness skillfully avoided the chains and wrapped around the fairy.

Kieren waited until the fairy was sufficiently consumed by the darkness.

And when the fairy reached the point where she could no longer bear not to answer.

Kieren smiled brightly at her and asked.

“Do you know about a fairy who looks similar to my child?”

***

He urged the twins to take him to the place where the fairy was being held.

Karha and Ishuel kept making excuses the whole time they were taking Cheshire.

“Baby, aren’t you hungry? You just woke up. The stew here is pretty good.”

“Are your clothes uncomfortable? Should we change them first?”

They were making a fuss because they didn’t want to send Cheshire to where the fairy was, no matter what.

Cheshire stubbornly ignored their words.

Then, once, she couldn’t help but be caught.

“The puppy is in that room.”

It was because Ishuel had mentioned Hata.

Because he had been barking and making a fuss next to the unconscious Cheshire, they had locked him in another room.

Cheshire quickly urged Ishuel to find the room where Hata was.

“Myaong…!”

As soon as she opened the door and entered, Hata burst into tears and hugged her.

While they were having a touching reunion, the twins exchanged indifferent remarks from the side.

“Do dogs usually shed tears?”

“I don’t know. I’ve never been interested in puppies.”

In any case, the twins, who had effectively achieved their goal of distracting Cheshire, were pleased with the puppy’s usefulness.

Cheshire held Hata in her arms and set out to find the fairy again.

After wandering around the not-so-large inn, going back and forth for a long time.

The twins finally took Cheshire to the room where the fairy was.

The place where the fairy was confined was a room located on the highest floor of the inn.

Kieren was seen closing the door and coming out.

His face was paler than usual.

It was because he had used too much power.

As soon as Cheshire checked Kieren’s condition, she immediately became anxious.

‘He didn’t kill the fairy, did he…?’

Kieren was more than capable of doing that.

She could only hope that the fairy hadn’t said anything to upset him.

‘But Kieren needs the fairy’s information too. He wouldn’t have killed her.’

While she was feeling uneasy, Kieren found Cheshire.

His eyes widened.

“Cheshire…!”

Kieren, who had come in an instant, picked up Cheshire, puppy and all.

He kissed Cheshire’s round forehead.

“You’re awake now? You were asleep for so long that Daddy was very worried.”

Even though he had seen everything about Cheshire using the fairy’s power.

Kieren’s attitude hadn’t changed in the slightest.

Rather, he seemed to be even more affectionate than usual.

She rubbed her nose against his and reassured him of her safety before bringing up the matter at hand.

“Want to talk to the fairy.”

“…Daddy’s sad.”

Kieren asked, drooping his eyebrows.

“Who do you like more, Daddy or the fairy?”

“……”

She never thought she would hear such a childish question.

She looked at Kieren, who was asking questions that only a baby would ask, in disbelief, but then she felt a gaze.

Karha and Ishuel were looking with subtly expectant eyes.

She could almost hear them saying in their eyes that they would have to ask her later too.

“Just curious about the fairy, that’s why want to meet.”

After escaping the crisis with appropriate words, Cheshire muttered sullenly.

“If can’t meet, can’t help it……”

She could feel the three men exchanging glances quickly without even looking.

She could vividly picture the twins’ eyes asking if the fairy was still alive.

These were the men of the Vasilian family who were good at uniting only at times like this.

Kieren, who had reached an agreement with the twins, tapped Cheshire’s forehead and asked.

“Then shall we go in together with Daddy?”

Cheshire, who wanted to have some independent time alone, made a sulky face.

Then Kieren spoke in a stern voice.

“Cheshire almost got hurt because of that thing. So how can I let only Cheshire go in alone?”

It was an attitude that he would never concede.

At his firm stance, Cheshire nodded.

Anyway, she had confirmed the fairy’s location.

If she couldn’t have a satisfactory conversation, she could always come back secretly later and ask.

She decided to obediently follow Kieren’s opinion for now.

“Okay. Want to see with Daddy.”

Kieren, unaware of Cheshire’s inner thoughts, brightened up.

Cheshire, who had entrusted Hata to the twins and entered the room where the fairy was confined with Kieren.

“……”

Had to try hard not to burst out laughing.

The fairy, bound by the chains of condemnation and drooping, had a hazy look in her eyes.

As soon as she saw the fairy with a blank face, she could immediately tell what state she was in.

‘Kieren messed with her mind.’

No wonder he was letting her meet so willingly…….

She couldn’t let her guard down at all.

But there was one thing Kieren hadn’t thought of.

That was the fact that Cheshire had even brought a crazed fairy back to her senses.

It would have been difficult to undo Kieren’s black magic if she were human.

But she wasn’t human, she was a fairy.

Just as she had restored her illusion, she had a feeling that she could also undo the mind control.

“The fairy seems tired…. She’s quiet, isn’t she?”

She urged the brazen Kieren, who was pretending not to know, to come closer to the fairy.

Then she reached out and cupped the fairy’s cheek, pressing her forehead against hers.

The moment flowers bloomed around Cheshire.

The focus in the fairy’s eyes returned clearly.

She trembled and whispered faintly.

“Your Majesty……”

Kieren, who had been smiling brightly, became expressionless.
