I’m the Future Crazy Male Lead’s Mother

The Evanror viscounty, which has no relationship with the Shiaster duchy, was a very lowly and unremarkable family. Except for one thing: it is a family with generations of scholars.

Therefore, there is no way I can easily just meet Duke Shiaster when I want, out of the blue.

But. 

Who is Elston again?

He pretends that he is an ordinary wizard, but in reality, he is the Lord of the Wizardry Tower who can have a private audience with the King, the core of power.

Since I know that he has fallen for Axion’s cuteness and can’t escape, I quietly made a ticket.

I quickly wrote the sentence ‘The right to hug the cute Axion for 30 seconds’ on the ticket and stuffed it in Elston’s hand. 

As I looked at his neck shaking from a gulp and his eyes twinkling like stars, I knew the deal was done. 

And the very next day, I was able to request a meeting with the Duke of Shiaster through him.

See, this is why connections are important. 

‘Hee-hee’

I walked diligently without hiding my naturally appearing smile. 

The stroller Axion is sleeping in vibrated slightly and rolled as I walked. 

Looking up at the sunny, beautiful sky that seemed to represent my happy heart, I muttered:

“I thought I was going to have to wait a long time, but I guess the food problem is serious.”

This is because I hinted through Elston that I know a way to solve the new food problem.

Duke Dazar is a great nobleman who is busy with public and private matters, so to make an appointment with him, you have to wait a couple of months.

Originally, that is.

However, Duke Dazar told me to visit the Shiaster duchy a week later.

That promised day is tomorrow.

In the meantime, I finished preparing to meet him and was about to take a break today.

“They said it rained at dawn, but perhaps because my Axion came outside, the clouds have all disappeared?”

“Kyaa.”

“If things go well like this, won’t Vanilla immediately fall for my Axion and be able to cut off the Demon Dragon’s power?”
“Hoo.”

I looked down at Axion, who had woken up at some point and was playing with his hand and smiled.

Today, as we take a break, the place we are walking is a cemetery provided by the Imperial Family that is not very far from the Viscounty of Evanror.

This cemetery is about a 30-minute carriage ride away.

‘It’s this way, right?’

The cemetery floors are all made of marble, and small gardens are occasionally placed between the tombs.

It is a cemetery that is too neat and luxurious to be simply considered a neighborhood graveyard.

‘Well, it’s because it’s a place where people with many circumstances are buried.’

Noble families usually have their own private family cemeteries, so there is no way nobles would be buried here.

And commoners wouldn’t dare think of burying their family members here.

This is because to build a tomb here, one has to pay the average annual living expenses of a commoner.

Therefore, those buried here have a somewhat unfortunate story.

For example, like this body’s half-sister, who had cut off her relationship with the Evanror viscounty a long, long time ago, those types of people.

I have a memory of visiting this place once. 

I looked back on my memories. After walking for about 10 minutes, I went deep into the cemetery.

Placing the flowers I had prepared ahead of time in front of the small marble grave, I stood holding Axion and said softly:

“…..I’ll raise Axion well. Don’t worry too much.”

I diligently went through the memories this body has, but almost no memories related to my half-sister came to mind.

The age difference between my half-sister and I is quite large, and since she left and the relationship was cut off when this body was young, it makes sense that I don’t remember much.

I had just thought that I should greet her at some point, and it happened to be a nice day, so I ended up here.

“The child is quite pretty.”

 I said as if whispering while bending down on my knees, holding Axion.

‘There were two people who almost became my mother. One tried to die with me before I even became cognizant of the world, one…. tried to kill me. She said I was cursed.’

Even if she made the wrong choice…..

There must have been a reason why that had to be the case…..

‘Why did you try to kill such a cute kid? You won’t be forgiven.’

I didn’t think about it.

Looking down at the cemetery, I thought coldly only to myself, in case Axion might hear.

The reason I came here today was because I wanted Axion to have at least a few good memories of his biological mother.

‘Because if you just imagine without truly facing her in reality, you might end up thinking even worse things.’

I hope you will have at least a few good memories of her, like when you came to play at the cemetery as if going on a picnic.

“Ing.”

Axion began to whine as if his posture was uncomfortable.

I embraced the child and took out a rattle from the stroller.

Rattle rattle.

I sat on a wooden bench in the vicinity and gently shook the rattle to soothe Axion.

I was thinking of spending a little more time here and then going back.

‘Huh?’

 I was quietly sitting on the bench watching the gently swaying leaves, but soon after, I had to widen my eyes.

Axion’s eyes were suddenly dyed violet, and along with that, there was a strange sensation as if something was passing through his entire body.

“Axion?”

Axion, who had been giggling and looking at the rattle I was holding just a moment ago, was staring vacantly somewhere with his eyes that had turned violet. 

I was so shocked for a moment that I almost threw Axion.

In the novel, Axion’s eyes turn violet when the Demon Dragon’s Dragon Heart in his heart reacts.

‘Let’s calm down. Let’s calm down. It was like this a lot in the original novel too.’

Before Axion went crazy, occasionally things like this would happen in response to the surrounding divine power.

As he kept the Demon Dragon’s Dragon Heart in this heart, he was sensitive to even small waves of divine power. 

According to what Elston said, most holy magic does not affect him.

However, he said, in reaction to that, from time to time his eyes will turn purple like this, thanks to the Demon Dragon’s energy flowing out.

‘It’s simply his eyes turning purple.’

Trying to calm my startled heart, I turned my head towards where Axion was looking.

‘Ah, then someone in the surrounds used divine power?’

The place Axion was looking at was a fountain located at the center of the cemetery. 

A man was standing in front of it. 

The black-haired man was gazing up at the sky as if there was something there. 

Even when viewed from a distance, his clothes looked very luxurious, and his straight back and posture were very elegant.

There is no doubt he is a person of high status.

‘Was it that person who used divine power…..’

Seeing as Axion is staring intently at that man, it seems like it.

I furtively stood up from my seat.

Axion who has the Demon Dragon’s Dragon Heart, and a man who uses divine power. It’s because they don’t have good compatibility.

I felt like quickly leaving this place would avoid various troubles.

The moment I came to that conclusion and was about to take a step,

A very calm voice came from right behind me.

“What is this?”

“!”

Swish, I turned around.

What came into my field of vision was the man who had been standing in front of the distant fountain.

 I don’t know when or how he approached me, but the man was looking down at me with his head tilted.

Although he had a face handsome enough to be an actor, his facial expression was so fierce that I didn’t have time to be surprised by his looks. 

The man’s golden eyes slowly examined me. One corner of his mouth raised as if sneering.

A menacing voice flowed out:

“Contrary to what it seems, the magical power is quite fierce and vicious. Could you be friends with that foolish demon whose neck I cut off last time? I see you’ve come to take revenge?”

“….What?’

“For someone who boldly tore through the barrier and came in, that type of sloppy expression is a little comical. It’d be good if you practice acting a little more.”

Demon? Barrier?

What type of nonsense is this person saying right now?

I blinked a couple of times with a dazed expression on my face.

When you say fierce and vicious demon, are you talking about Axion……?

No, before that, I think you have a serious misunderstanding.

“I cut your friend up, step by step, starting from their ankle. Where should I start for you? From the neck?”

“No, from there.”

He extended his right hand into the air, and a sword appeared in the empty space.

And when he grasped that sword in his hand, Axion, who I held in my arms, began to cry loudly.”

“Waaa!”

“……..”

He knit his brows. I, who was so lost in the absurdity, slowly started to feel irritation rise.

No, who are you to make my child cry?

“Look here.”

I suddenly ground my teeth and lifted the rattle I was holding in one hand.

Rattle!

At my rough movements, the rattle let out a sound.

The man’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the rattle I held up.

“What’s this? Is this the evil energy that demons use?

“What kind of bullsh*t are you talking about? Can’t you see that my child is crying right now because of you?

Poof!

I pushed the rattle close to his eyes.

Then I said:

“Shake it.”

“…..What?”

“I said, shake the rattle. Don’t you know what a rattle is? You made him cry, so take responsibility and soothe him, you ruffian!”

The man stopped moving at my words.
