The Baby Raising A Devil's
Chapter 13

...***...

I tried to reach into the drawer where Lea put my luggage.

"Geez!" Surprised, Lea quickly pulled me out of the drawer.

"What are you doing?"

"Wi where's the bag my brother gave me?" (Where is the bag that my grandfather gave me?)

"You looking for a bag?"

The grandfather, who went with the Duke, once brought me a children's bag. It was a peach-colored elephant-shaped bag.

"The body is here."

Lea looked at me with an inquisitive expression on her face when she found the bag and placed it on her shoulder.

But I took it and ran out.

Lea, sorry. This is something I have to do on my own.

'Because I'm getting ready to run away.'

Maybe not, the church pastors will take me. The empress gave me a choice, but if the church insisted, she would side with them as if I had no other choice.

For now, there is no reason to let me stay here and even if the Duke is here, he will protest against the empress.

If I was adopted by Vallua, it would be impossible to escape.

So it escaped while it was on its way to the capital.

'Dangerous with this body, but if you go to Vallua, you will be persecuted and killed.'

I entered the kitchen and stuck my face out on the cooking table. The cook, who served the food, smiled and asked.

"What's up, little lady?"

"Water, pwese."

"Yes." Yeah."

"That's a lot."

He poured water into the bottle and said that it would spill if I brought a lot of water.

"Please, put it on the swini." (Please put it here)2

When I turned my back, the cook laughed and stuffed the water bottle into my bag.

'Water obtained.'

Now food.

Prepare meals without snacks. But in an emergency, I can't leave sweets. The thing that goes directly to the brain is candy. I used to act like a child when I was tired, sleepy, or hungry until my brain was done growing. So sweets are a must-carry thing.

I headed to the candy room Duke gave me, then put the candy in the bag.

"One is too little, right?"

"Two are too few...."

One over.

Ah, I won't say anything about this.

His face became fat when I put it in. The zipper can't close. The bag is too small. I put only thirty sweets in it.

I need to pack a map and clothes. And then the shoes. Lightweight children's shoes will wear out soon and are not suitable for long trips. I just need to put in ten candies.

Then I took the candy out of the bag and went back to the room.

Glancing at Lea, I slipped behind the curtains as she cleaned the room. Then took out some silver coins hidden in the window.

'1,2,3,4.........11'

I collect coins given by followers. When I came out, Lea narrowed her eyes at me.

"What are you going to play with?"

"No!"

"Hm."

"I didn't pack my bags!"

Lea giggled as I waved wildly in search of an excuse. But the smile quickly faded. Leah gently hugged me.

"I think I should let you go...."

"......."

"It's an opportunity to grow up in a better environment and be loved by your parents. It'll be good for you."

I bite my lips and play my hair.

"You'll be happy. You're a very nice person, and I'm sure everyone will love you."

However, Lea smiled as if she brushed him off quickly. That muttering voice made me hold back my tears.

No, Lea.

They don't like me at all. I'd rather swim in the dirt than go!

I thought so, but there was nothing he could do for me, which was only a servant. Any help would only endanger Lea's life.

"Come, let's read."

"Geek...."

I nodded and went with Lea to where the servants were waiting. The servants sat me on the sofa.

'What is that?'

Another servant stood by the wall and held something under their hands.

'There's a lot going on today.'

These guys brought snacks. That's a really delicious snack.

Today's snack is custard cream. I look forward to the cream I ate last week because it was so delicious. The horse riding we played was fun.

I'm sad to remember the memory of Duke Dubbede. Compared to his previous life, this place was heaven. When I think about falling to hell while living in heaven, my eyes water. When I cried, the servants ran over in shock.

"Little Miss, why are you crying?"

"Who made my baby cry? Who did it?"

Even Lea touched my cheek with a worried look.

'If I go, I'll never see Leah again.'

I'm getting sad and sad! I was crying so hard. Maybe because I kept thinking. Nothing can suppress sadness. If only Duke Dubblede had been here. Then there must be a glimmer of hope that I might not have to leave.

He might not let me go because he hates the church.

"Why is my baby crying?"

"......"

"Yes? What's up?"

"I miss Dyuke!"

I didn't know I'd miss that cold-blooded guy. It made me cry with a red nose.

...***...

The church pastors have arrived at Dubblede castle. For the past few days, I have been crying. I cried during a warm bath, cried while eating a snack, and cried while sleeping.

If you get dragged this way, you'll definitely die again. It was so bad, my death was unfair, and I was sad because it wasn't fair. I can't stop crying because it's not clear what's to blame.

The servants looked very worried. They looked at me, not knowing what to do after driving me away. There's a lot of stuff that Dubbede's people gave me.

There are blankets, handkerchiefs, and snacks.

'They are really warm people.'

When I remember the priest's smile, the great points the Dubbede people said became clearer. The man who came to pick me up had a big ring and a chain that was like a bracelet around his neck.

"Little lady, are you okay?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"How difficult it is for you to be alone here."

"It's not sydney." (It's not hard.)

"Don't worry now. We found someone who will raise you with love. Duke Vallua was a famous scholar."

What do you mean by love. The wicked man took care of me with a whip in his hand. Moreover, it is not strange to me that the Church chose Vallua. Back then, I only chose friendly-looking families that were nice to use.

"I won't come." (I'm not coming)

"Let's go."

"Aah!!"

His hands are very rough on me.

"Let's go!" He said, pulling my arm.

"It hurts!"

When I shouted out loud, the waiter who came out to escort me was shocked. When Lea tried to intervene, the butler grabbed her shoulder and shook her head.

"If you do this, you will be cursed by God."

That's not what you can say to a child. And I'm cursed, you know. I shook my head to release his hand.

"No."

"Oho! Bad girls will be beaten with whips! "

I really thought I lost my arm back then. He dragged me with a stronger force. That's very painful.

"If you're lucky to be adopted by a prestigious family that has produced some great scholars, you should at least show some gratitude."

Alcohol smell. Leather belts are seen dragging on the floor. The sound of the leather belt being whipped cut through the air.

"Don't!"

I feel like I'm back in my second life. The priest narrowed his eyes while looking at me panting.

"Ap, what. What's wrong with you?"

Then

"Remove your hands from my daughter."

An extremely low and cold voice came from in front of the gate.

'I feel like I'm fantasizing'

The voice brought me back to the real world as I was overwhelmed with bad memories. Duke Dubbede interrupted me and the priest.

The bewildered priest soon came to his senses and confronted the Duke.

"The baby will be entrusted to Duke Vallua."

"Then we'll talk about it next time."

"That's ridiculous!-"

A sring!-

When the priest protested, the sword of the Dubbede knight quickly pointed towards the neck of the priest. In the blink of an eye, the face of the priest surrounded by dozens of swords turned pale. The Duke spoke in a doubtful tone.

"I never let you open your mouth."

"Yes... Your Honor,...."

Before long, the Duke's gaze slowly descended and reached out to me. Right in my arm that was flushed red from being held by the priest so firmly.

"Agh!"

The priest, whose arms were twisted in a strange angle, screamed.

"Go back. To this day, the boy will be in Dubblede. Later, when you want to talk about it, you should bring more knights from the castle."

After he pushed the priest, he gently lifted me up. I sucked my snot down.

"Dyuke...."

She, gently rubbing my wet cheek, narrowed her eyebrows and said, "you're ugly."

Even if you say it. My tears keep flowing.

"I have to wash your face."

He patted my back, hugged me tightly. Then he turned to the castle without hesitation.
