“Uwa!”
Chubby, baby fat-filled white cheeks, cherry-like lips, big round eyes. The child in front of me is my child, but I have to say, he is very pretty.
“Ung?”
“………”
It’s to the point that I can’t imagine that a child like this would later go crazy and destroy the continent.
* * *
It’s already been a year and a few months since I’ve transmigrated into this novel.
It all started around that time.
‘I think it’s true that I transmigrated.’
I knew I had transmigrated into a book world because of the memories that flooded my brain as soon as I opened my eyes, but I lived every day without knowing what book I entered.
‘So….. I’m a noble, right?’
I stretched my bent waist and rapped on my back. I was doing work with a bent waist all morning, so I felt achy.
Obviously, the memories input in my head said that this body is noble.
‘No matter how I think about it, there isn’t any noble who does this type of work.’
Looking at the broad golden feast spread out in front of my eyes, I thought blankly.
‘’So, at present, I am a lowly viscount’s daughter, but I am still a noble, right?”
Celia Evanror. The name of the body I’ve possessed.
I’m the daughter of a viscount with the last name called Evanror.
However, the work I do every day is rather peculiar.
Usually, noble ladies build up their refinement in salons while socializing with other nobles, or they prepare to hold tea time, or embroider…..
Well, isn’t that right?
‘But what’s this?’
Looking at the golden grain that gave off a shiny presence in front of me, I touched my head.
‘This is rice, right?’
Seeing that the grains of rice are abundant, the farmers embraced each other and said “It’s a year of good harvest, it’s a year of good harvest! Hooray!” The harvest is surely good enough to dance about.
And that “good harvest” was made by this body.
As this is this body’s daily life, I must have transmigrated to a novel about returning to farming, I thought at that time.
‘Am I in that novel? Uh, what was the title again…. Farm…. Farm….’
Ah, right.
Farming, A Noble Lady Can Do It Too!
This was definitely the title.
I clenched my fist in delight at finding the novel I transmigrated into for a moment, then I shriveled up like a balloon that lost its air.
‘Ha…. I can’t believe it’s about farming. My dream was to transmigrate into a supporting noble lady’s body and drink tea and play all day.’
Even now, I can’t imagine what type of place this is, so I examined this body’s memories and my mouth just twitched.
‘Umm. Other than that…..’
This body has one more peculiarity.
I haven’t gotten married but…
‘I have a child.’
But I haven’t seen them yet.
I looked up at the sky while wiping the sweat on my forehead with my sleeve.
I haven’t gotten married, but I have a child?
Although this is a novel where a Korean ropan writer changes the genre however they want, that shouldn’t be a possible worldview in a place with a conservative Medieval setting.
But this body did it.
Seeing as this body already completed the process of adoption even before I transmigrated, they must have really had guts.
There was a story there, too.
This body’s older sister had left the residence and died in an accident when her carriage rolled over, and I adopted her child.
Today is the day that child comes to me after completing treatment at the Wizardry Tower.
Although that child miraculously survived the accident, they were seriously injured and urgently needed treatment with the Wizardry Tower’s help.
The reason that this body’s older sister, who was now no different from a commoner, was able to get help from the Wizardy Tower is because the accident happened near the Tower.
Honestly, it was a little questionable.
Why did she take a newborn near the Wizardry Tower which is even far from the Evanror estate? Also, why would the famously haughty Wizardry Tower treat the child?
…..Well, whatever.
Today is the day of our first meeting now that the treatment is completed.
“Are you Lady Evanror?”
“Uh…. Yes, that’s correct.”
“I’m here from the Wizardy Tower. Ahem!”
But it’s not really proper to suddenly appear like this, right?
I squinted at the man who suddenly appeared on the vast golden ground, full of a manure scent.
No, in other novels, a servant runs in to announce the news of their arrival, and we happily converse in a grand drawing room while drinking a cup of tea.
“W- where are we? It, it’s a bit smelly.”
The man who mysteriously appeared, emitting a powdery white light, blocked his nose with his robe.
It looks like he teleported. You mean you didn’t even know your destination and you teleported?
I replied languidly.
“Ah, yes. The place you happened to appear on is the manure field.”
“Ahh!”
The man who quickly stepped back wore a robe representing a wizard of the Wizard Tower.
‘Is he the one who said he’d bring the child today?
Something seems to be missing. Where is the child?
“There is no problem with the coordinates. That’s odd. Is this also because of this child? Ahem.”
The wizard muttered to himself in a flustered voice and afterward was startled by my cold eyes.
Then he held out a small round basket.
I couldn’t see inside well because a handkerchief was slightly covering it. Is the child in here?
“Anyway! Axion’s treatment is all finished, so you can take the child now.”
I see. The child is in the basket….
Huh? What did you just say?
“Pardon?”
The man tilted his head at my response.
“Yes?”
“What did you say just now?”
“You can take the child now….”
“No. Before that.”
“Ah, Axion’s treatment is all finished……?”
“Axion?”
You said Axion?
What’s this? I’ve heard this name many times before.
And these chills climbing up my shoulders are?
“Yes. That’s the name of the child Lady has adopted.”
“Ah. Is that possible? That child can’t be Axion. No, no way.”
As I shook my hand, the wizard spoke rapidly as if he was rapping in a voice full of bewilderment.
“Do you actually think the child has changed? That can’t be possible. Axion is definitely the only child the people at the Wizardry Tower have treated. Look at this neck here. Isn’t the pattern the child has always had on their neck still there? Even though the child’s mother is your half-sister, you said you knew of the child’s existence, so you know this, right?”
The wizard quickly lifted up the handkerchief that was covering the basket and showed the child quietly sleeping like an angel.
And the black pattern on the baby’s neck.
‘Oop.’
I was shocked to see that.
For sure on the novel I was holding before dying, on Axion’s book cover, this was the pattern that the male lead had since birth.
After confirming this, it was like a bell went off in my head.
“This wasn’t a novel about farming…..?”
Suddenly, the freshly harvested golden rice I was holding at my side fell in vain.
Axion. You mean Axion!
That novel! Anything but that novel!
‘I transmigrated into that dreamless and hopeless exhausting novel?’
Axion.
I read it out of curiosity as it was uniquely written from the male lead’s point of view.…
No, let me correct that.
Truthfully, it was the novel I searched for and read to find comfort in the warmth of hell’s fire after hearing the rumor that it is a melodramatic tragedy.
‘I was in a bit of a bad state before I died.’
Why, on that day, I wanted to feel the warmth of hell that felt like home….
Axion, which I opened with a pounding heart, was a devastating-enough novel to raise my state to the peak condition.
‘The male lead went crazy and killed the female lead….’
The male lead killing the female lead? Need I say more?
On top of that, the continent was completely split in two.
The wizard, who would never be able to guess my silent despair, may have thought that I accepted his words and held out the basket.
“Here, quickly take this. I’m a little busy.”
The man’s words instantly brought me to my senses.
Slap!
I slapped my two cheeks and shook my head.
‘Oh my goodness. If this is really inside Axion….’
I can’t send off this wizard like this.
Suddenly, the sound of teeth grinding was heard. I immediately ran to the wizard, stepping aggressively with an annoyed expression on my face.
“You…. you scammer!”
“Huh?”
I quickly put down the basket holding Axion and held the wizard by the collar.
Arms trained through farming are strong enough to shake the likes of a wizard who only studies magic all day.
“This, what is this, Lady!”
“Take away the d*mned Dragon Heart you put in this child’s heart immediately!”
That played the most important role in Axion’s rise to become the No.1 villainous male lead.
The demon’s Dragon Heart was secretly planted when he was a newborn under the pretext of getting treatment at the Wizardry Tower.
The Dragon Heart, which was only planted as an experiment, played a big role in Axion’s loss of rationality later on.
“Wha- w-w-w-what are you talking about?! When did we insert a d-d-dragon heart?”
Demon Rohad’s Dragon Heart that you subdued 100 years ago and kept in the Wizardry Tower! You planted that in this child’s heart! You think I don’t know?!”
“Eek. How did you….”
The wizard, while being held by the collar, swayed back and forth weakly like a piece of paper and held his two hands up high in a stance of surrender.
“Fi- first listen to me. Viscountess Evanror! That’s all for a reason!”
“Reason, what reason! I said take it and go now!”
Otherwise, you and I will go to the afterlife!
They gon mistake her for some kinda hidden master, capable of discerning that in a second
