This Three-Year-Old Is A Villainess - Chapter 162
A Giant Tarantula.
As the name suggests, it’s an incredibly large spider-like monster.
This Giant Tarantula is notorious for its lethal power.
‘It’s hard enough to kill, capturing it alive is several times more difficult.’
Even monster-hunting mercenary groups barely manage to kill one.
And yet, he captured it alive?
‘Amazing.’
Truly, not just anyone can be the male lead.
Considering Alexis’s age, it’s quite an achievement. He’s only a 14-year-old kid.
Thinking about how Alexis, who used to be a little kid, has grown into a capable young man made me proud.
‘He’s grown well. To the point where he can capture a Giant Tarantula.’
But as I think about it, I become more worried.
Capturing a notorious monster like the Giant Tarantula without getting hurt is not an easy feat.
I felt the urge to see him with my own eyes.
‘Why aren’t there any video communication stones?’
If I had the protagonist buff, I would have developed video communication stones first.
I sighed in disappointment.
[Why? Don’t you like the Giant Tarantula?]
Alexis asked in a puzzled voice, misunderstanding my sigh.
“How could I not? It’s just…”
I was worried.
Was he pushing himself too hard? Did he get hurt trying to capture the monster?
‘He has a tendency to push himself while pretending nothing is wrong.’
But worrying alone wouldn’t change anything.
At times like this!
‘I need to build more hospitals.’
It’s better to plan.
So if he gets hurt, I can confidently say, ‘There’s a hospital nearby, go there!’
Of course, I’d still be worried.
‘My precious investment.’
If the first prince becomes emperor, Astra will be doomed.
That’s why I invested everything in Alexis.
It would be a big problem if he didn’t perform well.
‘No, my investment is doing well.’
He’s only 14, but he’s already captured a Giant Tarantula.
I felt a surge of motivation.
When feeling motivated like this, I must work even harder!
First, I clearly asked Alexis.
“You didn’t get hurt, did you?”
[Not really.]
“‘Not really’ means you did get hurt, or you didn’t?”
[I didn’t get hurt.]
Just as I was about to ask again to make sure, other voices came from the side.
[Miss? Is that you, Miss? I want to say hello too!]
[Miss, how have you been?]
[It’s me, Glynn!]
[Please let us hear your voice more often!]
They were the children from the Egret Training Facility.
They’ve apparently graduated from trainees to full-fledged cadets.
Hearing my voice after a long time, the kids excitedly joined the communication.
[Miss, we… oof─!]
[Move aside.]
I heard Alexis sigh.
Seeing the kids unhesitatingly jump into the conversation, it seemed like they were getting along well.
‘I’m glad. He’s not lonely.’
It was a good decision to bring Alexis to the training center.
In the original story I knew, Alexis went through tremendous hardships.
He almost rolled around in the mud.
So, I hoped Alexis would grow up well, unlike in the original story.
‘Well, it’s hard to grow up without any hardships because of his birth secret.’
But if good things happen in the future, it might be better.
I wanted to pave the way with flowers for the protagonist who had gone through hardships.
‘Is this the feeling of a fan’s love that they express in comments?’
I listened happily to the sound of Alexis and the kids arguing.
After a while, there was a loud commotion, and Alexis spoke into the communication stone.
[Anyway, I’ll send it to you.]
“But the tarantula can’t cross the border.”
[Then how about an egg?]
It wouldn’t be difficult to smuggle an egg. Giant Tarantula eggs look similar to ostrich eggs.
But they were extremely hard to come by.
Because Giant Tarantulas incubate their eggs inside their bodies.
“You managed to get an egg?”
[Yes. I got one by luck. Wouldn’t it be great to tame it from the egg?]
Of course!
Thinking so carefully about such things, he really is smart.
I nodded proudly.
‘It feels like my investment is paying off.’
I am an investor.
Of course, I don’t just invest emotionally without any real action.
‘I’ve actually invested diligently.’
I am not only an investor in Alexis but also in the Egret Mercenary Corps itself.
How much money and time have I put in?
Fix the outer wall of the training facility, and then the roof leaks.
Fix the roof, and then the stairs collapse.
Fix the stairs, and then the knights catch an epidemic.
‘Even this pair of communication stones we’re using was purchased by me.’
It was extremely expensive. Why is this tiny communication stone so costly?
When I bought the communication stone, my hand trembled like crazy, really…
It wasn’t Ducal Lady Erylotte but the small little commoner inside me, Yoo Hye-min, who screamed, ‘This is not cost-effective at all!’
‘You can only haggle when there are many sellers.’
High-priced products like communication stones are sold at whatever price the supplier sets.
Adding a bit of exaggeration, I felt like crying tears of blood when buying it, but communication stones were absolutely necessary.
For me, having an extensive network of information sources is the key to my power.
Being able to communicate with those information networks anytime and anywhere is crucial.
More than money!
