When I Became a Commoner, They Broke Off Our Engagement! Prologue


Prologue


The phenomenon known as "the fairy's changeling," said to be the mischief of fairies, was an event that occurred only once every few decades, which made it a legend, but no one believed that it would happen to them.


And what is normally called a "fairy changeling" involves swapping a fairy baby with a human baby. However, this time, they ended up swapping human babies.


"Hey, are you swapping human babies?"


A yellow-headed fairy calls out to their blue-headed comrade doing the "changeling."


"Hehe, isn't it fun? Besides, there aren't any newborn fairy babies around."


"What's fun about swapping humans with each other..."


The yellow-headed fairy shrugs and says, "Oh well," but doesn't stop their comrade. They neither agree nor disagree, just float and watch.


What happens to the swapped babies is of no concern to them. They have no intention of looking after the babies, they just find mischief irresistibly fun.


The more humans fuss over their pranks, the happier the fairies become.


"But one of them is a noble's baby. Is it okay to do this? It'll be a big deal if we're caught."


"Hehe, it'll be fine. Humans are different from us. They'll probably raise them without realizing. When the fates of these children cross someday, that's when they'll notice the 'changeling.' What will they do then? It'll be interesting to see. Whether they'll abandon the child they loved, or live together happily? I wonder."


"I doubt noble and commoner children will ever cross paths. It might stay like this forever."


"We'll see when the time comes. It'll be fun to reveal it in the end."


The blue-headed fairy gazes at the swapped babies with sparkling eyes but then finds another amusement and leaves. They would remember the swapped babies far in the future. Fairy time and human time flow differently, so they'll remember them much later.


The yellow-headed fairy scratches their head but gently strokes the head of the newly swapped baby.


"Sorry. There's nothing I can do about it."


The newborn baby hasn't opened its eyes yet, so the color of its eyes is unknown. Even the color of its hair is unclear.


The destinies of the two will diverge completely due to the mischief of the fairies.

I Wish to Be a Receptionist of The Magic World Chapter 21

Haare Employment Arc 5-6 After being made to change to a pure white gown by the Duke's three servants, I was taken to the King's island in a silver carriage. I hadn't been to the King's island in six months and didn't visit often, so despite the heavy white dress weighing me down and the peculiar circumstances, I felt a flutter of excitement. The view of the island from above was as beautiful as ever, and while the scenery was splendid when I rode on Lala, it wasn't bad to enjoy it from the carriage. But as the castle came into view, my excitement quickly waned, replaced by a sense of heaviness. It felt like a punishment game. I wanted to turn around and jump out immediately. Perhaps livestock being shipped off felt the same way. I sighed, resting my chin on my hand. "There will be no problem if you enter the castle with me. They might check your body or magic briefly, but it will be quick." Seeing my anxious expression in the carriage, the Duke reassu...

Age 14 Part 11 The crepe shop seems to be a new store. It’s popular because the prices are reasonable. "Even if they're reasonable, they are out of our reach." Since I can make crepes, I’ll make some for you guys next time. But since the crepes sold here can only be found in Sara's hometown, I wonder if someone from her hometown is making them. I'd like to tell Sara, but I can't contact her since she's with the Marquis' family. "Look, it's over there." "Huh? There’s no line. It was crowded just a moment ago." But it's good there’s no line, it means we can buy it quickly. "Oh, I knew it. It's sold out." "What? Again?" Mal and Fritz shouted in disappointment. Looking closely, there are many others who are also disappointed. Crepes are really popular. "How much are they selling for?" "The cheapest ones are two copper coins." "Is that cheap?" I don’t really know much about pr...

Engagement Annulment - Edmond's Side "What? What do you mean by that?" Am I losing my mind? I can't help but be shocked by something so unbelievable. "I understand why Ed is surprised. But when you think about it, it makes sense. Anna's appearance didn't seem like it belonged to that family. And her personality is too different. That's what I liked about her, but it's a shame." "I can't believe they'd switch out a fairy child. Are you sure they aren't planning to use a relative's child to disinherit Anna?" The Senette family wouldn't hesitate to discard their own child. "I thought about that too. But when I looked into it, it turned out to be true. And if they were planning to disinherit her, wouldn't they have done it before her debut at thirteen?" "That's... Well, how is Anna doing now? Isn't she feeling uncomfortable in that house..." My father looks at me with a disdainful expr...
