Lady Baby Is a Revenge Maker - Chapter 13

Daihan’s eyes gradually calmed down as he looked at Sephiel who was laughing.

 

“…Turns out you’re a fearless kid.”

 

“Huh?”

 

Of course, it wasn’t because Sephiel actually enjoyed it.

 

‘If I beg for your help, I think I’ll be killed instead.’ It was simply because she had such a hunch.

 

‘Yeah, if he is Erga’s father, such a suspicion remains.’

 

Her actions were the result of the full operation of her brain in an extreme situation.

 

“Yeah. Great.”

 

“HUUAA!”

 

Just like that, Daihan threw Sephiel in the air and caught her.

 

“Should I do it higher?”

 

Come to think of it, things like the sound of the wind, how come she could not hear that kind of thing, not even a single one?

 

In the meantime, Sephiel looked sideways. Around the wyverns, there was a transparent barrier-like thing that was blocking the sunlight and sound.

 

“Yeah, Hwigh-High. It’sh fun!” [Yeah, High-High. It’s fun!]

 

Sephiel said with a big smile. In reality, she was scared to death.

 

“Is that so?”

 

Tuung.

 

Sephiel’s body bounced high before being caught by Daihan’s hand.

 

“You said it’s fun.”

 

“Yeah! It’sh the bwest!” [Yeah! It’s the best!]

 

‘Even though I say things like it’s the best… I’m really scared to death–’

 

Sephiel shouted inside.

 

However, when people are driven into an extreme situation, rather, people don’t cry.

 

“KYAHAHA!”

 

Sephiel bravely hit Daihan’s arm with her small palm as she laughed out loud.

 

At Daihan’s hand, Sephiel’s small body was lifted up in the air.

 

“Whoaa!”

 

Sephiel raised her arms and cheered. But inside, half of her soul was already flying out of her body.

 

‘High-High… I have achieved the highest height in the world…’

 

She would be the only one to have experienced this play, which has surpassed thrilling at this point, since the continent was created.

 

“You’re quite a funny kid.”

 

Daihan mumbled.

 

“Hold on tight to the saddle.”

 

Then he moved the wyvern.

 

“Wow, it’s sho pwetty! It’sh amwazing!” [Wow, it’s so pretty! It’s amazing!]

 

Sephiel opened her eyes wide and grasped the wyvern’s saddle.

 

It was time for the sun to set.

 

The pouring gold sunlight made it seem like it was raining gold all over the world.

 

Protected by Daihan’s barrier, Sephiel swam here and there around the sky, before finally gracefully turning around above the Castle wall.

 

When they landed back down to the ground under the Castle walls, the familiar elf soldiers were already lined up in groups.

 

“Grand Duke!”

 

The soldiers knelt on one knee in perfect order.

 

‘Ah, I’m at my limit.’

 

Sephiel, who was trembling, got off from the wyvern, embraced in Daihan’s arms.

 

‘Scary. I want to return to my room quickly.’

 

Sephiel realized that if she was too scared, her child’s body would also be in cold sweat.

 

Daihan glanced at Lef and asked.

 

“What is this little kid?”

 

“Ah, so, this person is… She is Baby who was selected as the Little Young Lord Erga’s bride. In the Castle, everyone calls her ‘Baby’.”

 

Hearing Lef’s explanation, Daihan nodded.

 

“Somehow I thought it would be like that, so I tried to throw her off the wyvern. Haven’t I always dealt with suspicious people like that?”

 

“Hiccup!”

 

Sephiel covered her mouth. Slowly, she stepped back as she secured a safe distance away from Daihan.

 

It was then. Daihan’s blade-like eyes caught Sephiel.

 

“Why are you running away?”

 

“….”

 

The Elf Royal Guards gulped and blocked Sephiel’s front.

 

“It’s suspicious that your attitude has completely become different from before. Are you scared of me?”

 

“That’s…”

 

“Lef. I’m not asking you to answer.”

 

We need to protect Baby!

 

Lef said in a hurry.

 

“Ah, uhm– I-it’s because I was wondering if anything happened on your way here.”

 

“Nothing happened.”

 

After saying that, Daihan suddenly spoke as if he remembered something.

 

“Ah, come to think of it, I killed one person though. Perhaps the corpse is still outside the Castle wall around here. I hate it when an unknown human corpse starts to rot in my space. Clean it up.”

 

“…Yes? Murder? Suddenly?”

 

That’s what I’m saying.

 

Sephiel wanted to sincerely sympathize with Lef’s words.

 

“By any chance, was it an intruder?”

 

“Do you have to ask to know? Turns out you’re no different from a birdbrain.”

 

‘So that rude way of speaking is inherited throughout the family.’

 

Sephiel thought.

 

“….”

 

Anyway, Sephiel continued to step back while Daihan’s interest dispersed.

 

‘Let’s go quickly and ask Berry to pack.’

 

Let’s run away to the separate house and never see this Mister again.

 

That’s better. Sephiel made a quick decision.

 

“I apologize. Since there was someone who was trying to break in, I’ll strengthen the forest security. After all, there are times when sometimes you kill for no reason, so just in case.”

 

“I wasn’t in that mood today.”

 

Moreover, as Sephiel continued to listen to the conversation, her head turned blank.

 

However, when she heard Daihan’s next words, Sephiel stopped in her tracks.

 

“Come to think of it, the guy that I killed said something weird. I think it was something like ‘I’m not Food’.”

 

“Ah. Is that so? It must be that his name is Food.”

 

“In addition, he was wearing the knight’s uniform of the Allegro Royal Family. Although nothing would have happened because he seemed to be a deserter. Just in case, make sure it’s not a spy sent by Allegro’s dogs.”

 

“Yes. However, he’s stupid for a spy. To think that he revealed his name. Hm. Come to think of it, ‘Food’ in ancient words means pushover, right? Turns out, just like the word, he’s a foolish guy.”

 

Lef knew how to speak the ancient language. This was commonly the case with those who had elf blood. Upon hearing that, Daihan nodded.

 

“Hm. Now that you say so, I remember. It was a very stupid guy. He swung his sword, and then ran away alone before crashing head straight into a tree, and fainting. He was so insignificant that I even doubted if he was truly a knight.”

 

It was then.

 

Sephiel began to run.

 

It was like pressing the bomb’s detonator button. Daihan’s eyes became cold again, his eyebrows furrowing.

 

“I hate pretentious human children the most. Bring back that little kid here right away.”

 

However, the place Sephiel was trying to go to wasn’t the main building of the mansion.

 

‘The groove where I hid the star candy earlier.’

 

A secret place that only Sephiel knew. Sephiel quickly took out a basket from there and…

 

In an instant, she turned around, like a swallow, and then came back running towards Daihan.

 

“…What is it?”

 

Sephiel looked up at him with sparkling eyes, hiding something behind her back.

 

And she shyly held out what she was holding in her hand.

 

“Mwister Gwand Duke…. Here….” [Mister Duke…. Here….]

 

“….”

 

“It’s my heart…”

 

Sephiel shyly held out the sparkling star candy she received from the chef today.

 

“This ish my tweasure, but I’ll gibb ith to Mwister.” [This is my treasure, but I’ll give it to Mister.]

 

Although it was a treasure that she got today, she was sincere without a doubt.

 

Sephiel said with a big smile.

 

“Thank you for pwotecting mwe.” [Thank you for protecting me.]

 

And then, bow, a belly button greeting.

 

Momentarily dazed, Daihan, who received the star candy bottle, closed his mouth. The eyes of the elf soldiers that came stuck to his face.

 

‘This! This is it!’

 

The crazy guy on our side is a good guy.

 

That was the lesson that Sephiel learned from coming here.

 

‘As expected, my hunch hit the bullseye.’

 

It’s okay even if this kind of hunch is a little wrong though!

 

Lotto, who was second in her Death Note. As expected, he didn’t return either.

 

She remembered being freaked out when she saw a shadow on a rainy night.

 

How surprised she was, just imagining that it was Lotto.

 

‘If he really did go over the Castle wall and hide…’

 

Just thinking about it, Sephiel was frightened to death.

 

“This little kid…. Is she usually like this?”

 

“That…”

 

“Why are you so excited that you look like you can’t even tell what’s going on?”

 

“Originally, she was a little good at following adults, but…”

 

“….”

 

“No matter how I think about it, it seems that she has a good impression of the Duke because you gave her a wyvern ride.”

 

Grab.

 

Sephiel grabbed Daihan’s pants and looked up at him with sparkling eyes.

 

It was the look in her eyes that made him want to stroke her head without realizing it himself.

 

“You’re, again, the first human child who doesn’t get scared after seeing me.”

 

Daihan said as if it were ridiculous.

 

“Actually, Baby lights up at the sight of good looks…”

 

“….”

 

… Lef. Even you.

 

Sephiel was at a loss for words that she suddenly wanted to bite Lef.

 

‘Don’t spread rumors!’

 

“That’s why she also follows the Little Young Lord Erga very well.”

 

“… It is indeed hard to be liked by him with his personality.”

 

Even so, it was fortunate that at least his biological father saw his son objectively.

 

Anyway, only with Daihan handling Lotto for her, his stock price had already soared in Sephiel’s mind.

 

‘Yeah, it’s already okay if he doesn’t actually throw me under the wyvern. I’m sure Mister was only going to throw me because he had something in mind.’

 

Yeah. I love you. Remdragon.

 

Sephiel ruminated over the heart of the first day she came here.

 

Daihan lowered his gaze and looked at Sephiel’s eyes.

 

“And again, what’s with the ‘thank you for protecting me’?”

 

“Mwister Gwand Duke! You’re the shtrongest in the world. You defeat the bad guysh, right!” [Mister Grand Duke! You’re the strongest in the world. You defeat the bad guys, you know!]

 

“Is that so?”

 

Daihan’s mouth twitched.

 

“It doesn’t sound like a lie.”

 

The only Fire Dragon in the human world.

 

Born as a Half-Dragon but was now a complete adult Dragon. The Dragon Grand Duke, Daihan.

 

What he, who was pursuing the path of the military and enjoying battles, hated most was lies.

 

His favorite word was…

 

 

[The strongest in the world.]

 

 

Score, 100 out of 100.

 

It was that moment when Sephiel shot exactly in the very middle of Daihan’s taste.
