Lord Baby Runs A Romance Fantasy With Cash - Chapter 35

[<Capacity Window> will be opened!] 

 

[The available ability to use has increased to two!] 

 

[The cash you get from the draw will be upgraded!]

 

[The communication channel with “Aphtanes” will be expanded!] 

 

[“My Works List” function will open!] 

 

[You can always use the abilities in the novels you bought!]

 

‘Wow, isn’t this really good?’

 

Even if I picked a weird one, I can pick another one!

 

If I’m good at it, I might have two good abilities at the same time.

 

It is said that the lottery gives more cash!

 

‘There is a list of my works, and·····.’

 

So if I need the ability of a novel that I summoned in the past, I can call it out without cash? If so, it’s the best!

 

The light that filled my eyes swung around me like a spark on a bonfire on a winter night.

 

There’s a light that was floating from the book again.

 

And.

 

‘…it changed appearance.’

 

When I saw it again, Akitus changed its appearance.

 

On the cover, two heartcut crystals were connected like an hourglass.

 

Only one side was colored pink, and the other crystals were transparent.

 

You mean I can put a new ability in this transparent crystal.

 

[Characteristic <Rush and Cash>] 

 

Reader! 

 

It is no coincidence that you have come to this world. 

 

This is the fate led by Karma. 

 

The only person who can walk the limit set by the causal rate.

 

‘·····He’s scamming again.’

 

I glanced at the notification window.

 

Of course it’s not a coincidence.

 

I got chosen because I got the most comments!

 

What coincidence is there?

 

Random picking is a coincidence!

 

So be prepared. 

 

Prepare for a time when light loses its color and darkness encroaches on the world.

 

When that day comes, both your family and your loved ones will fall in front of the cold wind. 

 

Prepare for the cruel winter! 

 

When the time comes, spread your influence around the world and raise your voice! 

 

When you raise your clenched fist, those who are with you will be of strength. 

 

You are not alone anymore.

 

I stared blankly at the letters.

 

‘What is this?’

 

Darkness is coming?

 

Is it like the end of the world?

 

Like a romance fantasy, dragons and monsters invade.

 

Since those who are with me are encouraging, should we have a party?

 

Like warriors who defeat the devil?

 

“…”

 

I tried to think of something like a joke, but I couldn’t laugh.

 

‘I can’t believe my family and the people I love will all fall apart. They’re going to die?’

 

Anna, Nancy, Laura, and Tilda.

 

Ares, Exion.

 

And.

 

‘Dad.’

 

“laugh…”

 

Just imagining it made my heart ache.

 

‘It was like, is this what it’s like to have a precious person?… What should I do?’

 

Dear, there is a clear reason why you were here. 

 

Don’t be afraid. 

 

There is something you can do because you are you.

 

Remember the countless lives you’ve seen. 

 

This trait that suits your aptitude will help.

 

That was the end of the sentence.

 

But strangely enough, I gained strength.

 

‘Do What I Can Do Because I’m Me.’

 

“Are you throwing up right now? A child like you should be grateful just to be able to learn how to write because you don’t have an academic background. Feel free to tell me if you can’t do this. There are many people to replace you.” 

 

It’s different from then.

 

There’s something I can do here because it’s me.

 

Then, there is only one thing I have to think about.

 

‘Do I want the job?’

 

I don’t know exactly what happens, but anyway, a tragedy like the collapse of the world is scheduled.

 

If there is anything I can do to prevent the collapse, if I can protect my family with my own hands.

 

No matter how hard it is, it would be better than being helplessly swept away by tragedy without doing anything.

 

‘I haven’t lived my own way in my previous life either.’

 

What a life, the world seemed to overuse it’s power on me.

 

In this life, I was born as a golden spoon and thought I would avoid power abuse, but the world seems to be abusing me with it’s power.

 

I don’t like it anymore.

 

I won’t let anyone have my life at will.

 

Whether it’s a person, a monster, a dragon, or whatever, I will live my life as I please.

 

‘To do that, I need strength!’

 

I need more strength to protect myself then others.

 

‘And my strength-‘

 

I grabbed Akitus tightly.

 

“Quest!”

 

[There are quests that you haven’t checked] 

 

[Will you check them all?]

 

I nodded, and in front of me, new quests that I had received so far appeared.

 

I didn’t forget a single letter and read it carefully.

 

Among them, there was shocking content, and there was information that I didn’t know.

 

There were some things I couldn’t think of how to succeed in the quest.

 

There was no penalty for rejecting quests.

 

In other words, it doesn’t matter if you refuse something difficult.

 

However,

 

[Will you accept the quest?]

 

“All accept!”

 

I answered with certainty.

 

My voice responding to the quest felt different from before.

 

It feels like I’m holding the direction key of my life.

 

‘Good.’

 

This is what makes me feel so good.

 

At that time, the notification rang.

 

[A new quest has arrived] 

 

<Powerful power from ordinaryness>

 

We praise your will and determination! 

 

Dear reader, please build your strength! 

 

So don’t let anything go wrong with your life! 

 

But you have to keep in mind,

 

The most difficult thing is to keep your daily life. 

 

Nothing makes a person stronger than protecting his daily life and feeling the happiness in it. 

 

You’re still a four-year-old child. 

 

Have fun.

 

-Condition: 

 

• Kiss the Duke of Paeraton 

• Ask Ikxion to piggyback 

• Eat something delicious with Ares 

 

-Reward: 1,000 cash lottery ticket 

 

“….what?”

 

I touched my nose for no reason.

 

Devil, you gave me such a quest.

 

‘…Shouldn’t I just raise my fist instead of taking care of these quests?’

 

I nodded quietly.

 

[You accepted the quest]

 

It’s time for me to overuse my power in my life.

 

* * *

 

At sunset.

 

In a room of the wings on the east side of the  Fortress.

 

“The atmosphere of the Duchy has completely changed since the youngest lady came.”

 

“In particular, your Excellency has changed. The Young Lady even say, ‘Oh, Dad, Dad,······’”

 

“What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean?”

 

“…I’m jealous of you. How can you not know that yet?”

 

“It’s best not to know. Every time I think of it, I get cold sweats with body shivers.”

 

Why are you so afraid?

 

Isn’t it okay for someone to not call them by their names?

 

“Hmm, hmm, anyway, what’s important is that your Excellency cares about the youngest princess.”

 

“It’s bound to be pretty. Can’t it be pretty if you bring a fortune from the Marquis of Tarenka?”

 

“Obviously it’s a huge fortune, but it’s not surprising in the Paeraton.”

 

“That’s right. It’ll be a big deal for another family, but it doesn’t really matter if it’s a villa or a horse farm in Paeraton. In the end, what matters is what kind of fortune you’ll bring.”

 

There are two things that judge a fortune.

 

What good fortune you brought.

 

Or how well you roll the fortune you brought.

 

“It’s just that it is an empty mana stone mining business.”

 

“She’s young. Seeing that she brought it even though she knew that only empty mana stones were buried, it can’t even do business.”

 

The moment you mine, you’ll have a deficit, and there’s no way to make up for the deficit.

 

Mana stone without Mana is like trash, so who would buy it?

 

“Nevertheless, it’s important that a four-year-old has achieved such results, given that the youngest lady is loved.”

 

“The youngest princess didn’t even take a succession class, so that’s probably big.”

 

“Come to think of it, there are already people who are applying to become assistants to the youngest lady, right?”

 

“I heard that Viscount Dier also applied.”

 

“Viscount Dier?… Isn’t he the genius of geniuses? Although they said he’s a little out of his mind,”

 

“Yes, if he’s not a genius, who would be a genius? Although he really was a little out of his mind.”

 

“Hmm·····.”

 

Silence fell for a moment in the conference room.

 

“I thought she wouldn’t affect the succession because she wasn’t born with magic, but this scenario got weird.”

 

“It’s not something that’s going to happen right now.”

 

“But not stepping on a young sprout is a problem later.”

 

“Isn’t there a fatal weakness for the youngest lady? Why don’t you take advantage of that?….”

 

“What do you think?”

 

At that, everyone’s eyes were on the person sitting at the top.

 

* * *

 

“Hu-hoo, look at this! It’s a painting that my lady drew for me!”

 

“Oh, my lady drew me wearing a flower crown”.

 

“For me, this picture…”

 

“Our lady is good at drawing, too!”

 

The employees flapped their own scraps of paper and laughed.

 

Viscount Erkel, the assistant of the Duke of Paeraton, closed his eyes.

 

‘What is this? I’ve seen this scene before?’

 

The very same thing was happening, except that the people at the duke’s house in the capital were changed to the people of the duke’s castle in the territory.

 

“Is the youngest lady already dominating the castle workers? It’s much faster than the workers in the capital!”

 

But there was a person who looked at it insidiously.…

 

“… You’re making a fuss about nothing.”

 

The Duke of Paeraton couldn’t hold back his anger and spoke aloud.

 

Upon hearing that, the employees were surprised and bowed their backs, correcting their posture.

 

But

 

There was something they couldn’t ignore from the Duke’s remarks.

 

“Y, your Excellency, what do you mean it’s nothing? What do you mean?”

 

Nancy, who began to get out of the shock, said a word, unlike the employees of the Duke.

 

“At best, it’s just lines crossed over the scraps of paper. It doesn’t really mean anything,”

 

Other employees who were stopping Nancy next to them flinched.

 

“It’s unfair to say that the picture drawn by the youngest lady is meaningless.”

 

“She drew it while thinking about me with that small hand. It’s more valuable than the work of a court painter.”

 

As the employees continued to say, the warmth disappeared from the face of the Duke of Paeraton.

 

Viscount Erkel, an aide who was watching it from the side, sweated coldly.

 

‘Shut up, everyone! It’s because your Excellency still hasn’t received a drawing!’

 

However, no one heard the cry in his heart.

 

He couldn’t say anything because everyone was already insulted by the Duke who said something about their precious paintings.

 

The employees unintentionally continued to pour salt on the Duke of Paeraton’s wound.

 

‘N, nothing more than that, please. We have a meeting soon, but if your Excellency explodes. Somehow,·····!”

 

At that time, the savior came into the eyes of the Viscount Erkel.

 

A lovely kid who holds the hand of his older brother, Ixion and walks around.

 

It’s a bomb tranquilizer!

 

“Lady!”

 

Luatisha was startled to see Viscount Erkel welcoming her with the spirit of crying.

 

“Lulu.”

 

At the call of the Duke of Paeraton, Luatisha ran to her Dad.

 

Holding Luatisha in his arms at once, he looked down at the employees with an arrogant look.

 

“Come to think of it, my daughter and I shared our oaths on each other’s palms.”

 

“What?”

 

“We even signed a seal, so we can’t take it back.”

 

The employees’ eyes shook.

 

‘Shared an oath with the lady?’

 

‘Is it a special oath like an oath of loyalty by a knight or wizard,’

 

‘A swear to engrave on each other’s palms, which can never be reversed?’

 

‘Me! I want to do it, too! I swear loyalty to the lady!’

 

The employees looked at Luatisha with anxious eyes.

 

Duke Paeraton’s shoulders shrugged, and Luatisha’s face had thick drops of sweat.

 

‘No, what oath are you talking about? We just made a promise with my pinky finger on the line.…?’

 

However, it was an atmosphere where she couldn’t tell the truth.

 

Receiving the envy-filled gaze, Duke Paeraton pinched Ruatisha’s cheek as if he was proud.

 

“Then I’ll go to the conference room.”

 

Leaving only that, the Duke Paeraton left leisurely.

 

While the remaining employees remained sullenly silent, Ixion raised one eyebrow as if he was dumbfounded.

 

“She was supposed to go on a walk with me.”

 

Why did you take her like that?

 

***

 

Inside the conference hall.

 

The vassals were waiting for the Duke of Paeraton with a heavy look.

 

Today’s meeting is once a month, and it was also the last monthly meeting of the year.

 

Since it was a meeting to organize this year and prepare for next year, the atmosphere was bound to be as heavy as its importance.

 

In addition, in the past three years when Duke Paeraton was absent, there have been many changes within the territory.

 

In a burrow where there are no tigers, the fox tends to act as the head, and when that period is long, the fox mistakenly thinks that he’s a tiger.

 

When the tiger came back, he would naturally take it back.

 

Even in a country as large as the Paeraton, there’s a large tract of land, so it has a huge administrative structure but there’s a fox.

 

Of course there’s still a baby tiger who was followed by several wolf packs to counter attack

 

There are also rats who are waiting for the hyenas to take action so they can benefit from the meat…

 

They were all wary of each other, rolling their heads on what lean meat to bring at today’s competition with their own thoughts.

 

And finally, the door to the conference hall opened.

 

The only person who can pass through the front door, not the back door, is the owner of the Duchy.

 

All the vassals stood up in unison.

 

It was the moment they tried to be polite to their owner.

 

‘That’s… the youngest princess?’

 

A little lady came into their eyes, dangling from the Duke of Paeraton.

 

“Ah, sir.”

 

Eventually, Viscount Winchern opened his mouth.

 

“It’s not just another meeting, it’s a convention! A lady who has nothing to do with family affairs is not allowed to attend—”

 

“My daughter has nothing to do with the family’s affairs.”

 

The relaxed voice of the Duke of Paeraton cut off Viscount Winchern’s words.

 

“Does Viscount think so?”

 

“I, I apologize. However, she is young and has not taken charge of anything yet…”

 

“Your breath stinks.”

 

Duke Paeraton frowned and covered his daughter’s nose.

 

The face of Viscount Winchern turned red.

 

“What do you mean by ‘odor’?”

 

“Do you brush your teeth?”

 

What?

 

What odor?
