The Baby Raising A Devil's
Chapter 15

...***...

Nos swallowed his dry saliva.

"I think he's bored, so just for a little while...."

What a sad face....

'Duke is really scary.' He looked at the Duke with pitiful eyes, but the Duke looked back at him with cold eyes.

"He's a shy kid, but somehow he looks so close to you."

"It's not like-"

"You have an amazing talent."

Duke spoke in a very sarcastic tone. Duke Dubbede must be a petty boss. I can't believe you threatened the assistant just because he played a little bit during work hours.

'The poor one.'

Nos.

"Come here, Blaine."

I don't want to go.

With my hesitation, Nos' face turned white, and Duke became even more tense.

"Cabin."

I had no choice but to approach him. As soon as Duke hugged me, Nos bowed.

"I'll finish my job."

After Nos fled, only me and Duke remained. Today, Duke looked at me with a sharper look. You wouldn't punish me for playing with your assistant, would you?

Duke's brows moved as I looked at him with an anxious look.

"You seem very happy with Nos, didn't you say-?"

I tilted my head and looked at him.

He looked at me, picked me up and did exactly the same thing as Nos did, a few times.

"........"

'What is this?'

Is this a high-level snub?

...***...

What was that yesterday? I blinked my eyes and thought about what happened yesterday.

When I didn't show any reaction, he took me to the room and left.

'Maybe he tried to play with me.' Are you trying to be a father just because you adopted me?

At the end of the day, he threw me into the air, and asked, "Should it be higher?"

I almost laughed, and pretended to be happy because I was afraid of him.

Then Lea said something while buttoning my clothes.

"Let's go to the dining room now."

Why should we eat there?

Duke is always busy, so he prefers to eat at the office. When I looked at Lea with curious eyes, she laughed and grabbed my hand.

'Let's eat first.' It's harder to think like an adult if you're hungry. I grabbed Lea's hand and walked along the corridor. When I opened the dining room door and entered, I saw Duke.

'Huh?'

And on the Duke's left side, the children were sitting side by side.

"Blaine."

At that moment, Duke called me. I walked up to him and extended my hand.

The Duke lifted me up and put me on his lap.

"This is Henry, second son."

The child appointed by the Duke smiled. The child had dazzling silver hair and blue eyes like the sea, looking extremely beautiful. If Duke was a handsome man, this child was like a finely crafted doll. She was beautiful enough to be seen as a girl at first sight.

"This is Isaac, the third son."

The boy introduced this time looked the opposite of Henry. Although she had the same silver hair, her entire aura felt completely different, but both of them were truly beautiful. And besides that -

'They're miniature Duke!'

Their eyes, nose, face, lips were similar to him.

The first kid was at an overseas academy, so he didn't come. Lastly, Duke introduced me.

"He's Leblaine."

Henry, who looked beautiful, smiled and grabbed my hand.

"Hello, Leblaine! It's nice to meet you."

He then elbowed Isaac who was holding a staring contest with a carrot on his plate, when Duke noticed, he called out his name and gave a brief introduction.

'He's big enough for a kid his age.'

He looks about ten years old. The features are also very clear. I envy her. My body is growing very slowly. Besides, there was a bright future ahead of them.

All the children born in Dubbede were amazing, but the three of them were special among them.

'Those who have climbed the top of the pyramid without help from their surnames.'

Henry, would be at the top of the list every year at the Gifted Academy in the capital. He succeeded after his brother and entered an academic institution abroad.

Graduating with the perfect report card, he grew into a talent who controlled the amount of imperial money at an early age. He was a genius who became the leader of the Dubbede branch in his early 20s.

'Duke Amity hates him because he is a cunning fox who always runs away from the law.'

Isaac had a special talent for martial arts. He had defeated the knights of the imperial family at the age of twenty.

I was a little nervous when I actually saw the three rumored confucius. They're like Mina's brother. When I was accused of the attempted murder of Mina, people said I was lucky not to be caught by the Dubbedes.

'It's okay, they're not Mina's knights at the moment.' If they don't scare me, I don't need to tremble just by hearing his name like his previous life.

I smiled at them.

"Silver." (Hello.)

After all, they are the rulers of the family, so I should look good.

...***...

An hour later.

I glanced at Henry and Isaac.

'Direful....'

After eating, I was full enough that the adults pushed us into one room to get closer to each other. It's hard to get closer to them because they're kids.

When Isaac entered the room, he looked at me sharply. Henry paid no attention at all.

"You."

"Yes...."

"Do you know how to eat carrots?"

I'm not picky about food.

"Yes." Yeah."

Isaac raised his eyebrows.

"What are you? A rabbit?"

Said growling. It seemed like it was a threat, but strangely this time it was not scary. Then Henry, who was looking at the bookshelf, muttered.

'I think he just called Isaac an idiot.'

Henry doesn't seem to care about me much. As soon as he entered the room, he took out a thick book and now wrote a lot on the parchment. I glanced at the parchment.

Numbers, numbers, and numbers. Sometimes symbols are difficult.

My curiosity increased, so I put my head on the table. Henry looked at.

"Do you want to say something?"

"Leblaine," he added, in a soft tone.

"I'm ingwin see what it is." (i want to see what it is)

Then Isaac, who picked up the wooden sword lying on the floor, snorted.

"He's trying to count money again."

"This is called the establishment of a tachstical fund. Stupid."

I opened my eyes in amazement. Do children understand superstitious funds?

Then Henry muttered, pulling out a newspaper.

"The situation is getting out of control at home and abroad. At a time like this-"

"I knew. I learned it last time. Buying iron, right? When war broke out, the price of iron, which was the material for making weapons, first went up."

As Isaac spoke in a triumphant tone, the corner of Henry's mouth rose.

"You're right, but only in some parts."

"That's what traders think. A nobleman must donate iron to the country in case of war. "

When Isaac clicked his tongue, Henry shrugged.

"In times of war, gold is needed. Because the value of money is declining."

I can tell why the people here are not too surprised to see a four-year-old who knows the words 'unannounced tax audit'. There was another child who said such difficult words.

'I felt like I was in a strange world.'

Isaac frowned as his brother ignored him. He looked back at me.

"You! Ignore what you heard about me not knowing about the gold, or you're gonna die."

I quickly opened my eyes and moved my hand.

"Jangwan ignore that, you know the train jalwan." (Don't ignore that, you know the train way)

He laughed happily, saying "Right?" But then he regained his senses, and widened his eyes.

"Don't try to flatter yourself because you're a child of destiny. I'm a very strong boy. So-so"

Henry, with his face half covered in newspaper, looked at Isaac with a pitiful look. Then she lowered her eyes sweetly and told me.

"We need to hide our feelings. That's what Dubbede did. The flesh of Dubbede. The problem between parents and children is not important."

"......"

"So, please don't be too ambitious."

Henry's eyes glowed with a blue hue.

'Oh, it's not good to eat on Duke's lap, so I ate too little.'

I'm so hungry, so I can't think straight. Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about.

'But I have to answer first.'

A well-informed child is liked. I answered loudly,

"Yes!"

Henry looks a bit overwhelmed....
