A Baby Raising A Villain - Chapter 1

Chap 1

In front of him, a jewel-decorated wagon stopped. After a while, the door of the carriage opened.

“It’s so pathetic.”

It was the first word that the man who got out of the carriage said as soon as he saw the nursery that was collapsing. His eyes were as heartless as his dry tone

Need Nursery School

Just by looking at the tattered sign, one could gauge the financial situation here.

‘It’s gonna be easy!

He was a nobleman, but without the help of a coachman he came down from the carriage. Even though he wore shoes with hard soles, no one could hear a single step.

The mysterious appearance drew attention from the noisy women.

“It’s my first time seeing a family insignia. Did he come from the countryside?”

“It could be the aristocracy of the allies who came to join the New Year.”

“Why would he come to the nursery?”

“Well, he must trying to do something good. Why is that, noblasu oblija? There’s a saying!” (she miscalled Noblesse Oblige)

“Noblesse Oblivion is a piece of crap……”,

A great shadow hung over the groaning women whispering in a very small voice. For a moment, they felt their livelihood grazed by their backs.

“Let me ask you a question.” A low voice spoke. It was the nameless nobleman. The women went hard and stiff.

‘Did he hear us? I thought it was too far away to hear…….

No, more than that, why are you coming closer?

They felt goosebumps behind their backs.

This darn mouth. It was obvious that it was the fate of the poor who were caught dared to talk about the aristocracy. You’ll have to be beaten until you die, or you’ll have to live as a slave until you die.

They fell flat on the floor.

“Well, I’m sorry!”

All they can do is rub their palms. Without a single sound of footstep, the man’s shoes were just around the corner.

Fearful faces were reflected on the polished surface of the shoes. They closed their eyes in fear of imminent punishment.

“Do you know where the person in charge is?”,

The unexpected question left them speechless.

“Did your ears get eaten?” (he’s asking if they have no ears since there are no answer from them)

“Yes, yes? Oh, no. Who are you looking for?….”

“The director of this nursery. I asked him where he was.”

A woman who unexpectedly raised her head at the irritated voice saw clearly. The sharp fangs that came out through the gap of the slowly opened lips!

“Waaaahhhhhhh” When the child in the woman’s arms burst into tears at the sight of the man, a slight frown on his face.

Oh, this man…..!

‘It was only then that the woman recognized.

A graceful gait as if walking gently on a cloud. Mysterious eyes, not humanlike, seen through wobbly black hair. Even a terrible wound around the eye! He was a rumoured, man who recently heated up the social scene of the Eden Empire,

Count Eden Lionheart.

(He was a stranger mercenary, but he was recognized for his contribution to the wartorn frontier.]

The rumors surrounding him were innumerable. No one knew how far it was true and how far it was false. One thing everyone’s sure of, he’s got a lot of blood on his hands.

“Please save me!”

“I’m sorry! Please show me mercy!

Eden looked down at the frightened women and felt a strange discomfort.

His lips were slowly hardening with the discomfort that came upon him.

Someone tugged at the hem of his clothes.

“Excuse me, uncwel.” (Excuse me uncle – she called him 02M instead of OFM),

It was a child’s sloppy voice.

Turning slowly, Eden made eye contact with a little girl the height of his knees.

“What is that dough like thing?” It was the first thought that occurred to him as soon as he saw the child with white silver hair.

‘Did it roll over in the dirt?’

The child was clasping an unnamed plant in her hand. Even in the midst of her soiled clothes, two grubby hands, and full dirty cheeks, the little child’s eyes shone brightly

For a moment he could not speak for a moment, as if he were possessed by those blue eyes.

“Are you trying to find our swister?” (“Are you trying to find our sister?” -she pronounced L2 instead 48. She meant the person in charge. I think its a nun/ caretaker hence translating it as sister),

He was awakened by the words of the foolish little girl.

“Do you know the owner?”

“Yes.”

“How….”

He was about to ask, “How do you know each other?” but soon closed his lips. He didnt have to look far for the answer as her outfit explained everything,

“Because this is my house.”

‘You’re quick-witted. ‘Eden laughed at the child looking straight up at him.

“Are you going to gwo in?” (Are you going to go in),

It was quite a surprise. Is her liver out of the her stomach, or does she not know the fear of the aristocracy? (In korean, the word liver signifies bravery. No liver: coward, big liver: courageous.)

It was a mystery, but he didn’t bother to blame the kid.

“Lets go in!” “Hai-yah!” (Its actually but i’ll translate it as hai-yah. Its a sound korean make when doing something like lifting heavy things etc. let me know if you have suggestion to change it to something else),

The child leapt over the floor like a squirrel on a pile of firewood and approached him.

“Follow me.”

The pleasant breeze that came with her hovered around the tip of his nose.

He followed the child, feeling the soft scent of grass loosening his nerves, which had been somehow sharp.

The leading child stopped when she reached the door of the nursery. Soon the child, turned around and looked up at Eden, hoping for something.

“What?”

The child sighed heavily.

Then a child like a bean-sized dough rolled her fists tightly on her sides.

“Ah yes, unclwe should open the door.” (Ah yes, unclwe should open the door.),

‘What?’

Eden’s eyebrows furrowed and moved at the child’s bold remarks.

‘This little one is pretty good! (He meant to say she’s daring),

When Eden opened the door, the child who also slipped in was in a frenzy towards end.

“If you’ve been outside, you hwave to woush your hands.” (“If you’ve been outside, you have to wash your hands.”)

The noon sun poured peacefully over the nursery roof.

I led the visitor to the back yard with a tap to wash his hands. All the while, my head, was filled with curiosity about him.

“I think I saw you somewhere. Who is it?”

It was the first time for me to see such a splendid person, who had only been here since I was born at Need Nursery School.

However, for some reason, the strange sense of mystery did not disappear.

Is it someone I’ve seen before?’

‘If I had, I would have remembered.

It’s certain that today is our first meeting, but somehow he didn’t feel unfamiliar,

In the end, I couldn’t resist curiosity,

“Who are you uncwel?” (Who are you uncle?),

‘His footsteps stopped following me,

“Are you my swister’s friend?” (“Are you my sister’s friend?”),

As I waited for an answer with sparkling eyes, he answered in a reluctant voice.

“……yes.”

“Which sister’s friend? Do you know Noah, too?”

“Uncwel, are you here alone? I think you’ve came in a carriage earlier. Do you know how to drive a carriage uncwel?”

In response to countless questions, the man sighed briefly. Looking at one raised, eyebrow, he seem to be bothered.

“Stop asking useless questions.”

The man who uttered heartless words and waved his hands as if to tell her in instead of babbling.

‘He’s a completely uninteresting man.

“Tch” I pouted my lips and headed silently to the tap in the backyard,

“You just hwave to woush your hands here” Soon after I lost interest in him, I spread, out the grass I had collected earlier on the tap.

I’m going to tell you the location of director’s office and go play with my sisters.

I poured priming water into an old pump to wash away the unnamed grass used as a food ingredient for housekeeping,

“T’ll twurn on the water for you.”

I was always in charge of washing grass in the house, so I was able to pump well.

He murmured softly when he saw me on the footrest. “This tiny peanut seems to have good strength.”

Tanswered, dangling from the pump handle.

“I’m not a peanut.”

Would he have thought she was a bold little child?

I left him with a low snort and pulled the handle down as hard as I could. Then the rusty iron crept in, and cold water poured out with the sound of friction.

“Oh, it’s cwold!”

This old pump must have been working today and eventually gone bad. We were covered with cold water that splashed everywhere.

A startled man stepped back and kicked an iron bucket. The bucket rolled with a loud, noise, so the birds resting on the nearby tree were surprised and ran away.

“I can’t lose the bwucket.”

‘The nun told me to save it ran to pick up the precious bucket again.

He seemed to be surprised just as I am. When I peeked at him, his solid poker face collapsed.

What? You looked like a scaredy-cat

When I saw him with his pupils dilated and stiffened, I laughed.

“Uncwel, were you surprised?”

“……who………no.”

You’re standing up like a cat in the water and pretending not to be. I decided to pretend I didn’t know it. I’m a good kid who knows how to keep secrets of adults.

“It’s all right, uncwel. I’ll keep it a secret.”

I turned the pump handle back and jumped in front of him.

Looking at the amber eyes following my movements, the strange feeling came again. “It’s strange. I’m sure I know you.”

“What?”

‘mysterious eyes resembling a beast

a large scar around the eye

It’s a nasty impression, but except for the scar cut by the knife, he was not an easyto-forget figure.

“Did we ever meet? I think I’ve seen uncwel somewhere, I don’t remember where it was.”

The narrowed eyes made me feel more nervous,

‘Hmm. Where did I see that? “That’s weird.”,

“Have you seen me?”

“Uh, yes.”

“Are you sure?”

“……maybe?”

As soon as I finished talking, the man strode up to me. His face drew close. “It’s my first time seeing you today.” The sharp eyes gulped down my breath.

Somehow, I felt like I was facing a beast, not a man.

Like, “Lion.”….

“Remember that. Where you saw me, and how you knew me.”

Is it because I’m so nervous? It was his red lips that stole my eye then. I certainly saw it when I stared blankly.

Fangs, exposed through the cracks in the lips. It was sharp enough to pierce the baby’s fragile skin, more like that of a beast than that of a human. But how come! don’t feel any discomfort in him.

“Uncwel, your teeth are pointed…….”

……Huh!

For a moment, unfamiliar but familiar memories flashed through my mind.

“What is this memory?”

The memories that had been asleep woke up recklessly

“This memory that’s mine and not mine at the same time.”

The things that came to my mind out of nowhere were the memories of before I was possessed, which I had forgotten for three years as a “Luna.”,

“I can’t believe this is a novel!”

Only then did I realize that I was an transmigrator. The possessed body was too young to remember properly. But why did it have to be that novel…….

It’s an exhausting novel with death flags all over the characters?!

I became more anxious because all my memories have not returned yet.

What’s my cause of death?’

Boom, boom, boom.

It felt like my heart was going to bounce out of my body,

“It cant be true…….”

I tried to deny it, but the memories that came to mind once flooded in like waves. I’m definitely going to die. Because of one of the countless death flags hidden everywhere in the novel!

“You must have remembered.”

He looked down at me coldly. His gaze meant to tell him what I know.

‘But if I say this……!

He shook his head when his eyes met.

“Im going to be silence?!” (She meant she’ll die)

There was a crack in his brow.

My face was getting scared in the amber pupil.

‘I, Luna, the youngest at Need Nursery School.

After living in this world for only three years, I faced a lifetime crisis.

Until now, I had lost my memory and lived happily ever after, but I had to keep my mind straight from now on.

“To survive in this novel where there are many death crises!”

The first crisis is this guy right in front of me. It is to escape without dying at the hands of the most notorious villain in the novel.
