I am the Nanny of the Villain

Chapter 157:



Chapter 157:

Claude's face lit up when he found Sarah. As soon as Sarah's feet, floating in the air, closed to the ground, Claude jumped into her arms.

"Nanny!"

"Claude-nim!"

Sarah held Claude in her arms and lifted the child with strength. Although she hadn't been away for very long, Claude seemed to have grown a little more. She felt his warm body temperature when she held the child in her arms. She was now able to breathe out comfortably and smile.

"How can you be here when the small fries are still all over the mansion?"

Sarah looked back at the Ambrosian and gave them a mild rebuke. It was only then that the Knights of Ambrosia realized that they had run this way while dealing with the monsters.

"Ah, I'm sorry!"

"It's all right. I'll take care of it."

Sarah shook her head slightly and snapped her fingers. Then, the sky rumbled, and the sound of the dark clouds coming was heard.

"......?"

It was when people looked up at the sky one by one at the sound.

"Claude-nim, it's going to be a little loud, so you'd better cover your ears."

"Like this?"

Claude covered his ears with both hands. When Sarah winked lightly, Penelois also covered Elexa's ears.

"Good job."

With a laugh and compliment, they heard Sarah flicking her fingers once again. And at the same time,

Boom!

Lightning struck over Ambrosia's mansion with a loud roar.

"......Heok!"

The flash of lightning struck the mansion not once, but several times at the same time. Even the monsters roaming around Ambrosia or hiding could not avoid the lightning.

Kkuaaaah.

The painful screams of monsters seemed to resound from somewhere.

"......"

"......"

They knew Sarah was a magician, but those who witnessed her overwhelming power for the first time couldn't help but keep their mouths wide open.

'I've seen Belluna-nim and Benjamin-nim fight with magic, but......'

Even those who did not know much about magic could feel the difference. That the power that Sarah possessed was overwhelming.

'I thought the only thing I would fear most in the world was the power of my Lord.'

Ethan Ambrosia had a great power that even he could not control. But Sarah Millen was even more fearful in that she could perfectly handle the power. In her presence, neither the title of nobility nor the power of the Emperor would matter. Was she even a human? Sarah, who had a power close to that of God.

"......"

When everyone started to feel scared one by one before Sarah's power. Sarah, who confirmed that all the monsters in the mansion had been disposed of, smiled and hugged Claude.

"You were surprised, right? Are you okay? Our Claude-nim's face looks very haggard, I'm so sad."

"Nanny, Nannyyy......"

Claude's sadness, which he had been holding back for so long, burst out at Sarah's friendly voice and gentle pats.

"Hic hic......, I mean, I was scared. Brother Benjamin is also hurt, and because of me, Elexa too...... Hic hic."

Claude wept and stuttered, telling Sarah everything. How scared and how sad he was. How frustrating it was because he had no choice but to just keep watching when things he couldn't handle were rushing in at once. Seeing Sarah's face, Claude was able to let go of his heart and whine as much as he could.

"Oh my, our Claude-nim. That's right, it's terrifying."

"Yeah...... I was really scared."

"Don't cry. I'm here now. Okay?"

"Hiiic."

Claude buried his face in Sarah's shoulder and wept. Finally, when the child started crying like children his age, Sarah was relieved.

"I'm sorry to put you through this, Claude-nim. I will make sure this never happens again."

"Eung, eung......"

"Thank you for enduring it well."

Rubbing her cheek against Claude's hair, Sarah smiled brightly. Seeing Sarah gently caressing the child's body, the people of Ambrosia let go of their fears that they had unknowingly felt.

'It's Countess Millen-nim.'

It was a relief to see Sarah, who had always been the sweet Small Countess of Millen in front of Claude.

'Ha...... Crazy, I almost died.'

Penelois, who was very nervous, finally breathed out a long breath and relaxed after seeing Sarah smiling at Claude.

"Benjamin, are you all right?"

"Yes, I'm fine. Before that, I'm worried about the br......, no, Claude. I remember he collapsed right after he showed his power last time."

"Claude-nim looks fine."

Sarah hugged Claude and approached Benjamin, stroking his hair tenderly.

"You've been through a lot. Thank you."

"......Yes, Master."

Benjamin quietly accepted his master's touch. His eyes blinked slowly because he liked the warm body temperature that touched his hair after a long time.

"Huh, ah."

"Woah......"

Seeing Benjamin blushing and meek in front of Sarah, Penelois and Elexa swallowed laughter as if it was absurd. Even seeing with their own eyes, they couldn't believe that Benjamin, who was so picky, was doing his best. Benjamin, who enjoyed his master's praise like that for a moment, realized that at this point, someone he always grunted and quarreled with was quiet.

"......?"

Benjamin lifted his gaze and saw Claude in his master's arms. The child was still burying his face in his master's neck. Then, when he saw Benjamin, who was being praised, his ears soon turned red and he buried his head again.

"Hmph."

Seeing Claude's timid rapture, Benjamin grinned. He wanted to say something stupid as he gently rubbed his face against the hem of Sarah's clothes, but his face, covered in tears, seemed embarrassed.

"......Well, me too."

At that moment, Elexa, who was in Penelois' arms, twitched and looked at Sarah. Elexa looked into Penelois' eyes as if asking for permission and gently spread his arms out.

"Elexa-nim, come here too."

Sarah smiled and opened her other arm to Elexa. Seeing Elexa brightening up, Penelois nodded her head slightly.

"......!"

Then, Elexa smiled and ran into Sarah's arms with eyes that looked like he was about to cry.

"Me too, I was scared too."

"Yes, Elexa-nim had a hard time too. Penelois-nim too."

Sarah bowed her head slightly, as if saying sorry to Penelois, and continued.

"To keep you safe, I took you to Ambrosia's mansion, and I'm really sorry that it turned out like this. Duke-nim asked me to tell you that he would definitely compensate."

"No...... On the contrary, I appreciated your protection from the attack of the monsters."

Penelois hurriedly waved her hands. In fact, she had learned some things while staying in Ambrosia. In fact, Crassida, Elexa's nanny, was an adopted child of the Marquis Orlin family. She was plotting to get rid of Penelois and Elexa before she was kicked out of the Marquis family. If she had stayed in the mansion provided by the Third Prince, Crassida would have avoided his eyes and Penelois would have no idea what kind of tactic she would use. It was not easy to stop Crassida from trying to get rid of Penelois, who still lacked the power and reason to wield the Marquis Orlin's family. Had it not been for hiding under the shadow of Ambrosia.

"I have received help, and I have a lot to lean on in the future. So you don't have to apologize."

"Still, disrespect is disrespectful. You're a guest......"

Saying so, Sarah looked at the people of Ambrosia, including the knights. She was well aware of what they were concerned about.

"Don't worry, everyone. Duke-nim already had in mind that they might learn about the power of Ambrosia by letting Penelois-nim and Elexa-nim stay in the mansion."

"His Lord did?"

"Yes, if Sir Jade was here, he would be able to explain in detail, but...... he can't leave Duke-nim's side now."

It was absolutely taboo for the power of Ambrosia to be known to the public. Wasn't it them who coldly cut off the First Prince's informant who worked in the mansion for 10 years the other day? It was a problem that had to be very sensitive to those who had dedicated their entire lives to protecting the secret of Ambrosia. So Sarah was able to understand the Ambrosian who reacted sensitively the moment Penelois and Elexa found out.

"If Third Prince-nim is to be crowned, they will naturally know. Ambrosia won't be shaken just because Penelois-nim and Elexa-nim get to know a little sooner."

"If Countess Millen-nim said so......, we understand."

A sigh of relief erupted from among the Ambrosian.

"I have made a big mistake, Penelois-nim."

"We will make sure that your stay in Ambrosia will never be uncomfortable."

Veron and Ronda immediately changed their attitudes as if they had never threatened anyone. The Knights of Ambrosia also quietly put the swords into their sheaths.

"It's okay because Young Lord Ambrosia has already covered us."

Penelois erased her discomfort and smiled. Whatever the Ambrosian did, their master, Claude, showed favor to Penelois and Elexa. And they knelt before the little Claude and agreed to obey his will. That alone was enough for Penelois.

"Perhaps tomorrow, even the Third Prince will know what the power of Ambrosia is. Anyone who wants to become Emperor of the Crombell Empire must be able to withstand its power."

"Does that mean that Duke Ambrosia-nim considers Eleon to be the next emperor?"

"......That's right."

Sarah smiled as she said that. In fact, she knew that Ethan originally had the Second Prince, Ilior, as the next emperor in mind. However, for some reason, Ethan was abruptly reluctant to support Ilior and pointed out the Third Prince as the next emperor. After all, it was the Third Prince who became the final victor in both the future she saw and the novel she wrote, so Sarah was also delighted.

"I look forward to your kind cooperation from now on, Your Majesty the Future Empress."

"Well, I'm the one who...... I look forward to your kind cooperation."

Penelois looked like she was about to burst into tears, so she bowed her head, pretending to say thank you. Her hand, which was holding the hem of her skirt, was trembling. Sarah smiled as if she understood Penelois' feelings, and she said with a small sigh.

"By the way, I must tell Duke-nim quickly that Claude-nim's power can be manifested in this way. I also have something in mind......"

The time had come for her to take a closer look at the changes that had occurred to Claude. But in order to do that, Sarah had to be away from them for a while. It was unavoidable to solve the doubts that were gradually accumulating one by one.

"Sarah-nim, then, do you have to go back right now?"

At May's question, Claude, who was in Sarah's arms, lifted his head. Claude's eyes, looking at Sarah with tears in his eyes, were filled with desperate pleas.

"Nanny, are you leaving already?"

"That......"

"Are you going?"

Sarah made eye contact with Claude, who was staring at her, then surrendered as if she couldn't help it.

"I'll stay with Claude-nim for a little while and then go back. I've taken care of the urgent. Duke-nim is keeping Alton saf...... Ah?"

Sarah's words to comfort Claude stopped slowly. At that moment, the situation with Ethan before she came to Ambrosia passed in her head.

"Ack, come to think of it, I didn't ask Duke-nim's permission before coming here......"

She realized it too late. Obviously, she and Ethan were watching Ambrosia's situation through the mirror artifact, but she got mad at Oliven's provocation and ran all the way here. And, she completely forgot that she had left Ethan there.

* * *

"......Well, My Lord."

"Quiet."

At the same time, Jade was quietly wiping away tears, slowly looking at his uncomfortable Lord. Ever since Sarah, who wanted to solve the situation through artifacts, went into the mirror.
