A Baby Raising A Villain

seize the opportunity that heaven gave me.

“Please adopt me, dwuke!”

She shouted with all her might as if she was going to break Eden’s eardrum.

Please adopt me……!

Adopt me…!

Let me…!

A courageous cry echoed through the Prima forest.

“Well, what choice are you going to make?”

Richard and I looked at Eden with bright eyes.

“…….”

He turned around without an answer.

In time,

“Take it.”

A low voice flew in and stuck in my heart.

“Oh, really?”

My heart began to pound.

“Oh!”

“Don’t make a fuss, Richard.
It’s just to gather information.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

Eden coughed for no reason and began to walk ahead.

“Let’s go together, Your Excellency!”

Richard, who held me in his arms, followed Eden diligently.

The swollen heart was holding tightly so that it wouldn’t fly away, and Eden, who was walking earlier, murmured softly.

“There are times when we run out of food.…… well, that’s a big help.”

Haa.
It would have been better if I hadn’t heard the following words.

The next day, I had a peaceful morning in a strange place.

“Uhh….”

While tossing and turning in a fluffy blanket, I suddenly came to my senses when I saw the colourful mural painted on the ceiling.

“!”

a picture of a lion under the crescent moon

It was a familiar symbol of the LionHeart family.

“Ah yes, I was adopted yesterday.”

It really wasn’t a dream.

It was my first time sleeping in such a large room in my life.

‘As expected, he has great financial resources.’

In the orphanage, three to four people used to gather in a small room and live in together.

It was an empty room except for the bed because there was no furniture yet, but even that was a thrill to me.

“Then my name will have a last name, too?”

Luna LionHeart.

I couldn’t bring myself to speak and carefully recited it in my mind.

The first morning at LionHeart’s mansion, though it’s still only temporary protection

Somehow, I felt strange.

‘The aristocrats who often come to the orphanage to see the children said I wouldn’t be able to be adopted by them.’

When they grade a child to adopt, they value ‘noble blood’ or ‘intelligence’ such as magic and divine power.

According to the assessment, I am rated F as an adopted child candidate for an aristocratic family.

And to put it in perspective of them

It was “an unadopted existence.” Please read this novel at Bwithy0u Translation wordpress. Do not copy or repost

But I was chosen.

And to LionHeart, who is the most popular among the aristocrats these days!

Even in the not-too-distant future, the LionHeart family will be on par with the three top families of the Eden Empire.

‘So, I’m saying that it’s like winning a lottery!’

Of course, there were still some formal procedures left.

The adoption process in the Eden Empire is quite complicated, so simply bringing in a child to adopt from a nursery is not the end.

As in our situation now, we need to prepare adoption applications and materials to be submitted to government offices during the provisional protection period.

“What kind of nonsense is that?”

Speak of the devil.

Beyond the door, a conversation between Eden and Richard was heard.

“I understand how you want it to be nonsense, but unfortunately, that’s the law of Vis.”

“Can’t humans live without the word ‘law’?”

“That’s the kind of people they are.
They have a framework for every little thing, and a handful of powerful people like to control it.”

“I don’t like them all.”

“Anyway, you have to endure it even if you don’t like it because it’s a prerequisite for adoption.”

Closer and nearer, the sound of words ceased.

Soon the door opened, and two men entered the room.

“Good morning, child.”

“Good morning.” (she replied in english.
Aww cute)

She waved to Richard, who greeted him brightly.

“Wasn’t your bed uncomfortable last night?”

“Yes, I like it because it’s soft.”

“I’m glad you like it.”

I was chatting with Richard, who somehow felt comfortable, and I could feel someone’s gaze next to me.

Unconsciously, I turned my head to it and made eye contact with Eden.

Oh, my.
I totally forgot.

“Have you slept well?””

“…….”

Is he offended by the belated greeting?

He turned his head to the other side without pretending to hear.

“Uh…… Well…….”

Thanks to you, I was embarrassed.

Richard whispered in a whisper to me, who rolled his eyes.

“His Excellency is expecting a morning kiss.”

“What?” I asked back in surprise.

What do you mean, Morning kiss?’

Richard burst into laughter when he saw me hardened like a wooden stone.

“Richard, don’t teach her anything weird.”

Eden blamed Richard.

How did you hear that soft whisper?

It must be true that the hearing of the beast people is dozens of times better than that of humans.

“What do you mean strange? It’s a big misunderstanding.
I’m just giving you a little tip for your future relationship.”

“I don’t need it.”

“It’s said that infancy is a very important period that affects the formation of a bond between father and daughter.”

Richard even brought out a professional parenting book and said.

Do you think that’ll sense?

Inside, I was curious about Eden’s reaction, so I peeked at his face.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“You don’t know what will happen, your grace.”

There was a deep groove in Eden’s forehead.

I knew it wouldn’t work. Please read this novel at Bwithy0u Translation wordpress.

“I won’t say it twice.
I don’t need a morning kiss.”

“I’m sure the time will come when you regret your remarks today.”

“If you say something weird one more time, I’ll give you your funeral, Richard.”

Richard took a step back at the brutal warning.

‘This is it.
I might have to write a survival story when I just got adopted.’

Ugh.

As I watched the conversation between the two men, I naturally sighed.

At some point, Richard, who approached me, whispered without getting tired.

“His excellency is shy, so don’t be too hurt.”

“Uh, yes.”

Of course.
