Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 277
Chapter 277
‘… Just enough not to die?’
With a clenched fist, Luca calmly surveyed his surroundings.
The place was just a cave, but seemingly like a replica of the nursery he had seen before.
‘How did it end up like this? It definitely didn’t seem like this at first…’
Somehow, it seemed lacking.
Maybe adding a crib would be good.
Since the baby wouldn’t lie in the crib all day, a playpen seemed necessary.
The cave floor was rough, so shoes seemed essential.
He added one thing after another, before he knew it, it looked like this.
“This is not it!”
Luca threw a doll on the crib, expressing his frustration.
Did he ever intend to raise a child? Was he going to raise a child here?
‘Ah, forget it. I just need to organize things.’
It was a momentary lapse.
He fell for Aria’s trick and had named the baby, making his feelings complicated.
‘Huh?’
Then.
Luca confirmed a flicker of light in his pocket and pulled out the artifact he had bought for a fortune two months ago.
It was attached to track the location of the dedicated nanny secretly, so he can sneak around outside…
‘Why is she going back and forth so restlessly?’
Luca sensed something was off and hurriedly ran.
Besides searching for him, there couldn’t be anything else the nanny would do.
Perhaps due to practicing transformation and teleportation till he tire himself, he could move all the way to the entrance of the mountain range.
The area ahead had a magical barrier, so he had to fly there directly using wings.
“Young Master Luca! Where on earth have you been!”
“Pant, pant… It’s nothing. I just played around in the nearby territory.”
Luca wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and loosened his collar.
Being in a human form was nice, but it had the drawback of extreme physical exertion.
“I didn’t go outside the castle. I swear.”
The nanny sighed, looking at the child who spoke so smoothly, because Aria was not there.
All this time, she pretended not to notice…
“Let me remove the leaves stuck to your head.”
“These are just leaves.”
“It’s a tough grass that only grows near the Ingo Mountains.”
Luca remained silent as he untangled the leaves from his hair.
“Hey, you’re not going to tell Aria about this, right? It’s not a big deal. Right?”
He then started to smile playfully, beginning a playful threat.
The round eyes and the shadow cast over them, along with the sparkling bright blue irises, were quite intimidating.
The elongated pupils rapidly expanded and contracted, making the nanny unconsciously shudder.
Every time Luca acted like this, she was reminded that the child was closer to a beast than a human.
Even though he imitated a human appearance, he was still a dragon.
“I can’t do it now. Now, don’t bother the Young Madam and go back to your room quietly.”
She tried to guide Luca toward the room, trying to hide her tension.
“It’s strange. Why can’t I do it now?”
The child, who usually obeyed when told not to speak, suddenly stood firm and resisted, refusing to budge.
“And why shouldn’t I bother Aria?”
Luca asked coldly with a displeased expression.
Of course, he had no intention of bothering Aria, but hearing such words was unsettling.
“Right now, the Young Madam is…”
At that moment, a sudden scream pierced the air.
‘Aria!’
For a moment, Luca froze, then quickly moved in the direction of the sound.
Unable to precisely gauge the location, he stumbled twice in the wrong places like a fool.
“Ah, damn it!”
Spewing curses, Luca used teleportation magic for the third time and finally reached the door of the room where the sound came from.
Vincent exclaimed in surprise as an abruptly appearing child almost collided with him.
“What the heck!”
“Get out of the way!”
Without confirming what was in front of him, Luca pushed, and Cloud, who stood next to him, reflexively caught Vincent who was pushed like a paper.
“Are you getting hit by a child now?”
“Do dragons count? If so, I’ve been hit since it was a child….”
Vincent complained with irritation while Cloud held him.
In the meantime, Luca was turning the doorknob. But no matter how much he shook it, the door wouldn’t open.
“Do you think you can just go in without permission?”
“Aria…”
Aria didn’t scream anymore, but from inside the room, groaning sounds could be heard.
Aria was in pain. She seems to be in a lot of pain.
Listening to the unfamiliar voice for the first time, Luca’s senses became clouded.
“Do you think we stand still here because we can’t hear that sound? Just stay quiet and don’t be a hindrance.”
“Hindrance?”
“Although it’s a bit earlier than the expected due date, you knew it was coming.”
Childbirth.
Aria’s belly was strangely swollen.
It was to the point where he worried that the internal organs might get all squashed.
They called that being full term.
‘Am I being foolish?’
Luca simply thought about sneaking away with the baby once it was born.
He thought that large thing would just come out without any pain.
It couldn’t be possible.
‘How was childbirth for humans?’
Luca sifted through the memories of his mother. A female human who died giving birth about 1700 years ago flashed through his mind.
“There wasn’t just one human who died giving birth.”
