The Baby Raising A Devil's
Chapter 12

...***...

Duke left the city to conduct a territory inspection like he said yesterday. Lea said it took him about 20 days to come back. Those 20 days were training days for me.

'You must succeed and be adopted.'

So I put on my socks today too.

'Oh, it works if you get past your heels, but it's hard. It's because I can't control my smooth muscles.'

It's been noon since I've been busy practicing. It's lunch time. I left the room looking for Lea. I was always with him, but he left for a reason today. The servants have been out since dawn.

"You can go in and stay in one of the guest rooms."

"The baby will be gone soon."

The butler and waiter were busy discussing something. The faces of the followers entering and exiting the hall were also stiff.

'What?'

When I heard the sound of rumbling from my stomach, I tilted my head to the butler, and he immediately understood it.

"Yes, little lady."

"I'm hungry."

"Okay, I'll find Lea."

"Ayho is leaving now." (let's go now.)

The butler smiled amiably and held my hand.

I walked along the hall with him.

"What an empty muzzle is that!"

Ak's!

There was a loud scream in the distance. I held tightly to the hand of the butler. My heart is beating fast. There are people who are very angry. There must be something going on.

'What's up?'

I was thinking about it, but I heard another scream.

"How can a pastor of the Church pass through the gate without permission!"

"It's to bring the baby home, bring her home after her return."

It could be just an excuse to spy on the inside of Dubblede castle.

"For now, isn't the Pope the baby's legal guardian? How can you refuse when the guardian comes?"

"The guardian doesn't need the owner's permission to take the child."

You come from the church? Picking me?

Linda, her shoulders are shaking. Then the butler called out, "Little Miss?" But I didn't answer.

What the hell is going on?

If they take me to the capital, I'll be adopted soon. Moreover, the fact that the church, not the empress, had come to take me to their chosen place of adoption was very bad. I know that because I've heard it in my life before. The recommended place for the church is...

'Vallua.'

When I remembered Duke Vallua, my eyes reddened in anger.

...***...

Everyone in Dubbede is cold-blooded. That's because of Dubbede's special teaching method, which has its own short history. The only way as Dubbede was to be massacred or slaughtered.

Theodore Dubblede, the current Duke of Dubblede is one of the perfect men in Dubbede's history.

Unparalleled strength, resourcefulness, and intelligence that doubled the family fortune in just a few years. A man who truly possessed such talent had raised fear in anyone.

The same thing happened to the followers and officers who were doing the inspection tour with Theodore. The restaurant remained quiet throughout the lunch.

At that moment, they felt a slight surge of mana. Theodore and the other elite knights turned their eyes to which source. The lieutenant was sweating in his pocket.

"Ah, no, this...."

The knight sitting to his right held the lieutenant's wrist.

"I'll check it."

The soldier roughly put the Lieutenant's hand on the table

What came out of his hands was a magic tool, and the lieutenant was sweating coldly.

"This is the latest trend...."

"It is forbidden to carry unrelated tools."

"Well, I was asked to buy a soft cloth."

There is a very soft cloth made from a special plant that only comes from that area. Then the knight asked with excitement.

"You got a kid?"

"No, it's for little lady."

"The child of fate that the Empress sent?"

"Yes. He practiced wearing socks, but it seemed difficult, so his servant tried to make the socks more comfortable."

"But why do you need that?"

Suddenly, the knight reached out to confiscate the magic tool.

At that moment, a small sound was made from the magic tool, and a screen rose in the air.

[Come, little lady. Try saying "Duke."]

[Dyeo!]

[D.u.k.e!]

[Once again. 'Duke']

[Dyuke.].

The baby pouted and made his hands wiggle.

"Oh, he's the one...."

"What's this?"

Recently, it was a trend to exchange funny pictures or videos of Leblaine among Dubbede employees.

It was a short video taken by Lea, which was used to pay the lieutenant for the transaction. He sent her a video as payment for buying cloth.

The knights, who were looking closely, relaxed their expressions.

"Fog."

Video continues

[Why are you so pouting?]

[What if Dyuke isn't grateful that I can't say Dyuke?] (What if Duke doesn't like that I can't say Duke's word?)

Everyone exploded laughing. A middle-aged knight spoke to Theodore.

"You must be happy to be loved by a cute child."

"Omong empty."

"The baby is amazing. Even his three children thought their father could not be approached easily."

"She's a unique girl."

A knight boisterously asked wily. "Honestly, isn't she cute?"

Theodore stared coldly. Then there was silence in the restaurant again, and the others were in a hurry to eat.

She's not cute.

From the beginning, I never thought anyone was cute.

But I couldn't help but notice the little thing standing in my palace all day. I think the mole on his neck is funny. It formed a heart pattern, but as he stared at my shoes, his skin stretched out and his mole grew bigger.

Theodore then reached out to the Lieutenant. The lieutenant who put meat in his mouth.

"Here."

"Yes?"

"Don't bring unrelated tools."

'This is not even for attacking, thought the lieutenant.'

For a moment the lieutenant felt unfair, but he was unable to overcome the cold gaze of the Duke and placed the magic tool into his palm.

Theodore carefully stuffed the magic tool into his bag.

'There's a myth that if you break a magic tool, you'll be cursed.'

That'sthat's all.

Since then, only the sound of the spoon clanking as it came into contact with the plate filled the silence in the restaurant. At the end of the meal, the mouth of the judge captain opened.

"By the way, Duke, I recently heard that there's something weird around here."

"Why did you say that? "

"Outside the territory, but guns are raging."

A shooter never came to this region.

"Why should I care about other people's business?"

"Well, that's true but I just want to know if there's a lot of kidnap cases."

Then Nos nodded and said, "They sold the children to the slave market."

"A child who has magic or divine power is also used as a source of money. That's a terrible thing."

At that moment, Leblaine appeared in Theodore's mind. "Dyuke!" While walking Leblaine is kidnapped by several bandits. At the slave market, Leblaine called out to Duke and ended up crying.

"If anyone dares to enter my land, I can't let them go."

"If that happens... ?"

"Kill them."

"Which area should we clean first...."

"Let's go to Roxiel's border."

Theodore's hand suddenly stopped.

'When she was an adult, did she want to go watch flowers?'

There was a nice park on Roxiel's border, so nobles often went there.

"Roxiel park. It's a good idea to show some help around. "

Come to think of it, he probably wanted to ride a horse when he was growing up.

There is a great place to ride horses over the Roxiel border.

"Mainland...."

There is a nice river to play water behind the land. Good for a boat ride.

"Clean the Nogis River."

After those words came out of one's tongue, the faces of the knights turned pale as if they were carrying out a gunfight with hundreds of murders.
