The Baby Fairy Is A Villain [EN]: Chapter 99

It was a question I had never considered.

Because Richessia was a fairy with misaligned powers.

I hadn’t even considered the possibility of her getting along with other fairies.

A fairy who wields an axe and grows man-eating flowers among pacifist fairies.

Isn’t she a completely different being?

I had always thought it would never happen, but if her daughter was truly born as the queen of the fairies,

perhaps Richessia might also go to the kingdom.

Since the kingdom was built to avoid humans, I wouldn’t be able to enter.

The longer Hylone’s silence stretched, the thicker Kieren’s smile became.

As if he already knew what answer Hylone would give.

He chuckled softly and whispered.

“We’re similar, aren’t we? Right?”

Infinitely different, but the essence of Kieren and Hylone was connected.

The fact that they hated each other was also close to self-loathing.

“I don’t want to send Chesha away. But I don’t think I can do it with my power alone.”

Kieren raised himself slightly and reached out to feel the table.

He grabbed a new glass and poured wine.

He poured until it was just about to overflow and held out the glass.

“Shall we help each other when we need it?”

Hylone swallowed a short sneer.

I wondered why he was so readily sharing information with me.

Since he couldn’t solve it with his power alone, he was drawing Hylone in.

Because divine power can do things that black magic cannot.

And even if the child ends up hating him…

It also meant that he wouldn’t be the only one hated.

Hylone looked at the glass he held out.

The red wine sloshing in the clean glass sometimes looked like blood in the dark.

It was the perfect drink for the serpent’s whisper, tempting him to commit sin together.

What I feared about Count Basilian’s cunning was not his gloominess.

It was that all his inner thoughts were visible, and I understood that he was dragging me to hell.

Even so, I couldn’t avoid the serpent’s invitation.

He always made offers that could never be rejected and cleverly wagged his tongue.

Hylone, who had been staring at the glass, frowned slightly and said.

“Those who offer their bodies to God are forbidden from drinking.”

Kieren laughed out loud and chuckled.

“So what? You’re not going to abstain from lust anyway. A little alcohol is fine.”

“…….”

I was glad that I had the patience not to cut him down with the Holy Sword.

Hylone snatched the glass he held out.

But instead of drinking it, he burned the wine in the glass with divine power.

The wine disappeared with the white light.

He returned the empty glass to Count Basilian and said expressionlessly.

“I will cooperate. As long as you don’t cross the line.”

“Good thinking, Inquisitor.”

The black serpent smiled contentedly.

“Let’s get to know each other more closely in the future.”

***

The Holy Empire of Hilderde actually did not possess territory worthy of being called an empire.

Because it was only about the size of a small city at best.

However, it was a country founded in the name of God.

No one dared to call Hilderde a small country.

Because all the temples built throughout the continent were the territory of Hilderde.

The faith of the continent’s people in God was the power of the Holy Empire.

Indeed, the Holy King possessed more power than any other monarch on the continent.

The Holy Empire uniquely had barriers around its entire border.

Beyond the walls built of white stone, a part of the magnificent Grand Temple could be seen, but that was all.

Unless one entered the country, there was no way to look into the empire from the outside.

Non-clergy and knights belonging to the Holy Empire could only formally enter the country three times a year.

New Year’s Day, Consecration Day, and the Great Prayer Meeting.

There were three official opening days, and in addition, special openings were held irregularly from time to time.

This Minor Saint Prayer Meeting could be said to be an unprecedented special opening.

The carriages of those who had gathered to participate in the Minor Saint Prayer Meeting were lined up in a long queue.

They were all waiting to go through immigration.

The Basilian family’s carriage was also located at the end of the long line where the white wall could be seen dimly.

“Ugh…….”

Kieren groaned softly at the vibration of the carriage stopping.

Chesha glanced at him.

Perhaps because he hadn’t slept well last night, Kieren had been holed up in the carriage since the start, hugging Chesha and dozing off.

He must have drunk a lot of alcohol.

Instead of Kieren, Ishuel went out to ride the horse.

And next to Kieren, Hata was curled up, making small breathing sounds, *hiyu hiyu*, as he slept.

Unlike the peaceful situation inside the carriage,

Chesha, who had gotten closer to the Holy Empire, despaired.

‘Ughhh!’

That was because, no matter how prepared I was,

‘I’m really entering the Holy Empire.’

The thought of praying in the temple, praising God, and listening to sermons made me want to run away already.

Especially since there were many people in the Holy Empire who didn’t like me…

If I lined up the holy knights and priests that Chesha had tormented, they would wrap around the empire once.

‘They’re not going to deliberately not pick me because I look like a witch, are they?’

The desperate desire to receive the crown and the desire to run away right now were mixed up and dizzying.

Hylone’s adjutant, Daren, approached the carriage.

He was leading the holy knights in place of Hylone, who had disappeared, saying he had to return home first after the fairy incident.

Daren smiled when he made eye contact with Chesha.

And he knocked on the carriage window, tap tap.

Kieren slowly opened his eyes.

He yawned widely and kissed Chesha on the forehead.

He slowly reached out and opened the carriage window.

“…What’s wrong?”

It was a lazy voice full of sleep.

“I have something to tell you regarding entry. Please take a moment.”

Kieren frowned slightly, then gestured to Belzeon, who was standing behind Daren.

It meant to come and watch the baby.

Belzeon took Chesha from Kieren without complaint.

Looking closely, Belzeon also looked a little tired.

He held Chesha in his arms and whispered softly.

“Stay with your brother for a while, youngest.”

The gruff voice was quite affectionate, so Chesha smiled brightly.

Fortunately, the line of carriages was long.

It seemed like it would be okay if I prepared myself while waiting.

It was when I was taking a deep breath alone.

“Woo?”

Suddenly, the Basilian family’s carriage left the line.

Chesha’s eyes widened.

It came out completely to the side, passed the long line of carriages, and went straight forward.

‘What is it! Why are you doing this all of a sudden!’

When I was struggling, Belzeon sat down by the window so I could look outside.

The carriage, which had advanced without hesitation, stopped in front of the holy knights who were conducting immigration.

Daren and Kieren exchanged a few words with them without getting off their horses.

Kieren looked down at them with slightly languid eyes and smiled.

The holy knights’ eyes shook a little.

They seemed to be thinking, ‘Is it okay to bring such a bewitching thing into the Holy Empire?’

After a short conversation,

The Basilian carriage entered through the gate.

There was not even a minimum immigration check, such as checking identification.

They entered the Holy Empire directly without going through any procedures.

It was an enormous special treatment that anyone could see.

Belzeon muttered quietly.

“…Is that the Inquisitor?”

Just then, Daren approached the carriage.

He stifled a laugh as he looked at Chesha, who was sticking her head out of the window.

“You will be able to rest comfortably soon. Please bear with it a little longer.”

That wasn’t the problem.

‘I’m not ready yet!’

Chesha asked with a resentful heart.

“Why are you going in so early……?”

Daren widened his eyes slightly, then replied as if it were very natural.

“Because Miss Chesha has Sir Hylone as her escort knight.”

He still glanced at the long line of carriages beyond the gate and muttered.

“You have to get used to this much. There will only be more things like this in the future.”

Indeed, his words that there would only be more things like this were true.

But this is a bit…….

‘It seems too much.’

Chesha looked ahead with a dazed face.

The Holy King of the Holy Empire, Cyanor Hilderde, had come to greet the Basilian family in person.
