A Baby Raising A Villain

Richard caressed my hair while I was in his arms.

“Then shall I give you a special service my lady?”

“Special servwice?”

I crept up my head at the tempting suggestion.

“I’m sure you’ll fall asleep as soon as you get it.”

Are you trying to sing me a lullaby?

I nodded because I thought anything would be better than teasing.

“I lwike it.”

“Then lets get started.”

Hmmm, Richard cleared his throat a few times and lowered his head.

“……Huh?”

For a moment, I was embarrassed by the sudden close-up, and he got closer and closer.

Huh…? Huh? What?

It was my first time seeing someone’s lips so close.

“Hey, Richard. Wait a minute.”

“You just have to stay put.”

“Stay still?”

Somehow it felt more suspicious.

Before I knew it, the lips narrowed the distance slowly opened, and something sparkled through them.

I closed my eyes reflexively.

‘I’m getting bitten!’

The sensation that followed me wasn’t a great pain……,

Huh.

Moisture?

“……What?”

I opened my eyes secretly with a damp and unfamiliar touch on my cheek.

“How do you like it, my lady? Are you getting sleepy?”

“What did you do?”

“What else could it be my lady? Im helping you with grooming?”

Richard, who straightened his shoulders, replied triumphantly.

“Gurumming?”

Isn’t that what cats and animals do?

Richard whispered in a low voice to me, who was in love with Earl.

“When his excellency was young, he couldn’t sleep without grooming.”

I peeped at Eden.

‘The days where the menacing looking Eden acted cute?’

I couldn’t easily picture it in my head, an image of him which was the total opposite of now.

And whats more him grooming.

I couldn’t imagine even more.

“Richard. Since when has your future hope changed to a lying butler?”

Eden, who has good ears, must have heard what Richard said to me.

“What do you mean lying butler?”

“If you’re hungry, go to the food warehouse. Stop spreading bullshit.”

Eden chinned at the door with dry eyes.

Then Richard’s already round eyes grew bigger.

“Oh, my God. Those dirty words are rude in front of the lady.”

Yeah, emergency food. That’s too much.

I nodded quietly in sympathy.

“Don’t be so hard your excellency. Why don’t you call her by a softer nickname?”

“Why should I?”

“Well, you’re a father now.”

Eden wriggled his eyebrows. Please read this novel at Bwithy0u Translation wordpress. Do not copy or repost

At times like this, his left eyebrow, which was honest with his emotions, was somehow annoyed.

“I thought your excellency wouldn’t have thought about it, so I’ve thought about the lady’s nickname for you.”

“You’ve done something useless.”

Richard chatted in earnest, taking out his notebook whether Eden allowed it or not.

“How about peanut?”

“That makes sense.”

It doesn’t make sense!

Eden, who pretended to be uninterested, but immediately responded, I was dumbfounded.

“Similar things include chicks, marshmallows, cotton balls, and puppy…….” (in Korean its called 똥강아지 which kinda translate literally to puppy’s poop. Usually older ppl especially the grandmas like to call their grandchild this.

“Isn’t it rude to compare her to a puppy?”

“……that kind of dirty word is very hurtful to me. No, wait a second. Why are you looking at me like that?”

Richard made a sniffling protest, but Eden stole his notebook without even listening.

“Hmm. I think something related to white would be appropriate.”

Eden’s hand, who was searching through the notebook for a long time, stopped.

“Hmm..Flour dough..”

“It fits perfectly with the lady who has soft, plump cheeks, but it’s not a friendly tone, so I only put it as a preliminary candidate.”

“It’s not bad.”

Richard opened his eyes wide as he looked at Eden, who was rubbing his lower jaw and giving a positive reaction.

“What? That?”

“I’ll take this.”

……I ended up with flour dough as my nickname.

Is the expression “open your eyes and get bitten by a lion” used at this time?

I couldn’t stop laughing.

Whether you know how I feel or not know how I feel.

Richard asked me a question urgently.

“What is the lady’s thought on your nickname?”

“……Are you asking me honestly?”

“Yes, you like the puppy the most among the candidates, don’t you”

Bad Richard. Bad dog!

Luna slammed her forehead a little hard into his chest, since Richard was being mean.

“Ugh!” Please read this novel at Bwithy0u Translation wordpress. Do not copy or repost

“……I’m really going to slweep. Don’t talk to me.”

I tried to ignore the calm laughter of the men above my head and closed my eyes tightly.

* * *

What? Was Richard’s words real?  (he said its easier to sleep after grooming)

Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

“Miss we’ve arrived.”

Yawn

When I woke up to a gentle whisper, the carriage arrived at the mansion.

“As expected, grooming is effective during naps..….”

“But you cwant do it again next time.”

“Awh that’s a bummer.”

I came down from Richard’s arms with a disappointing expression and looked around.

By the way… Where’s Eden?

I need to thank him for what happened earlier.

Even if you look around, you can only see the workers and Richard who carry the wagon’s luggage around.

Eden was nowhere to be seen.

“What the cwount?”

“As soon as we arrived, ixcellency went to the office. Do you want me to take you there?”

“Yes.”

Richard personally took me to Eden’s office.

“Sir, here comes the lady.”

After a brief silence, the answer came back.

“Tell her to come in.”

Richard opened the door, gave me a little cheer for support & went to do his job.

It was time for Eden and me.

I slipped into the office.

He only focuses on the documents he was looking at even when Im in his office.

He didn’t even spare me a glance.

“Excuse me……, cwount.”

“You don’t have to thank me. I just kept my promise because it went according to the prediction you told me.”

I haven’t even mentioned it yet.

He answered me first, as if he had read my thoughts.

“still, Thwank you.”

“…….”

His hand stopped as he was going through the documents without answering.

“I’m glad you believe everything I swaid now.”

“Don’t be mistaken. It’s just that your ability was worth it to me.”

It was a very indifferent voice.

Nevertheless, I was happy enough to jump in place.

“Really?” Please read this novel at Bwithy0u Translation wordpress. Do not copy or repost

I can’t believe I’m being recognized by Eden!

This was really a huge thing.

Enough to change the fate of dying in vain!

‘At least I won’t have to die in disgrace while I’m in LionHeart’s mansion.’

In other words, there is one less thing to worry about.

“Thank God…”

“What.”

I answered his question with my hands neatly folded.

“Did I become a person who is useful for the cwount?”

“…….”

He shifted his eyes to me.

Is it because of the sunlight coming through the big window?

Or because I can see his fangs through his open lips?

Seeing the shadowy face made me deluded.

‘It’s like a long-starved beast looking at a prey…….’

Suddenly, I remembered the conversation earlier.

[How about lunch box?]  (one of the nickname Richard came up with)

[That makes sense]

Why the conversation came to mind.

I thought to myself to comfort my uncomfortable feelings.

I’m glad Eden is a rational beastman.’

If not, a child like me would already be emergency food, as he said.

I was relieved to think so.

“……why are you so serious about useless things all the time?”

Eden asked me in my thoughts.

You didn’t like something?

His eyes were fully narrowed into thin slit.

I thought we might have gotten a little closer because of the work at the government office.’

I must have been mistaken.

Is it because he’s a cat type animal?’

I could hardly understand him.

“Are you mad, cwount?””

I said, looking at his countenance.

It’s not a very difficult question to answer. His lips, which had been hardened for a while, began to move beautifully.

” angry? Me? No way.”

Not at all, it can’t be.

Is it my illusion that it seems to be like an excuse? Was I mistaken?

“If not, I’m glwad.”

“If you have nothing more to say, go out.”

“Yes, then gwoodbye…….”

I bowed my head and tried to go back to my room.

My stomach is growling.

If it hadn’t been for the sudden roar of stomach I could have gone back to my room.

“…….”

“…….”

There was an awkward silence.

Surprised, I habitually grabbed my stomach and opened my mouth.

“It’s not me this time.”

“……I know.”

It was a voice as small as ant poop.

Now that I see him, he was holding his belly like me.

And seeing the amber pupils shaking violently…….

“Are you hungry?”

His body flinched greatly.

I’m sure you’ll say no, but it was too obvious.

“It’s none of your business.”

“I’ll call Richard for you.”

This is a chance to score!

I rushed to pull the rope hanging from one side of the office with a bright heart

“No!”

Eden flew in at lightning speed and snatched me pulling me into a hug.

What? What? Please read this novel at Bwithy0u Translation wordpress. Do not copy or repost

I happened to be in his arms again. In fact, he was distracted by other places and doesn’t seem to realize.

“You don’t have to call him.”

As he said firmly,

Growl.

His stomach was more determined.

“…….”

“…….”

“But the cwount’t belly clock doesn’t stop.”

“It will stop soon.”

After some silence, she sighed.

“But cwount have to eat to get rid of hunger…….”

The reason I stopped talking in the middle was because I was aware that the beast’s persistent eyes on me.

“Why are you staring at me like that?”

Every time he clenched his lips, the threatening fangs at first glance stole her attention.

‘If he bite the back of my neck with that, I’ll die instantly.’

The terrifying development kept coming into my head.

Maybe it’s because of this original genre.

I couldn’t help but think about it.

Besides, it’s a worldview where the beast shapeshifter and humans hunted each other, right?’

Contrary to my will, my eyes quickly became teary.

“Cwount….”

“Why are you making that kind of expression?”

He frowned and looked more like a beast.

“Perhwaps,are you going to eat me?”

“What?”

“I dwont twaste gwood…….”

With a sniffling voice, I grabbed my belly.

“Look at this. I only eat a little so I only have a little bit of flesh. There’s nothing for you to chew, bite, or enjoy the taste, and so on.”

He, who belatedly understood what I meant, burst out laughing.

“Only our ancestors were carnivorous.”

“Really?”

“Yes…”

GROWL

His stomach growled again.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”!

Looking at me struggling with his hand, he added, clutching his forehead.

“……and one more thing, I’m a vegetarian.”

“It’s not convincing at all to say that with the sound of such a belly clock and such fangs.”

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but you don’t have to worry. The count’s food warehouse is overflowing.”

I asked him back, sniffing at the snot that had come out.

“……really?”

“Yes, indeed.”

I wouldn’t have easily believed it if someone else had said it, but it sounded somewhat plausible when he did.

“Yes, if you have enough money to give me a big room as if it were nothing, I wouldn’t have to worry about the food warehouse, would I?”’

At the moment when peace was about to return to my mind,

Richard burst open the office door and stormed in.

“Your Excellency! The food shed has been robbed!”

I screamed because it was like the sound of the sky falling to me.

“I dwont twaste gwood!!!!!!!!!”

“I’m told you I’m a vegetarian!”
