The Baby Raising A Devil's
Chapter 18

...***...

Next was Henry's turn.

He wasn't as strong as Isaac, but he obviously had incredible talent.

Henry can also bring out his aura.

But instead, he had an aura that was more refined than Isaac.

However, when his training opponent was replaced, he failed to show his strength. Henry's new opponent was the gray-haired old man. Despite looking weaker than his previous opponent, who was still young, Henry fell to the floor several times.

"Are you underestimating me because I'm an old man?"

His opponent shouted at Henry, making the impression that he also thought so.

"Don't ignore me!"

Henry quickly got up and avoided the old soldier, but upon seeing something, his pupils dilated. Immediately the boy lowered his head, and at the same time the sword fell from his hand. The old soldier raised his hand solemnly about to land on Henry.

'You will get hurt!'

"No!"

I shouted and ran among the old soldier as I stretched my hand out in front of Henry.

"Don't hit Henli!" (Don't hit Henry!)

"Son, it's a fair match."

The old soldier smiled awkwardly and said, but I frowned.

"Henli had no sword, it was on the ground." (Henry did not take the sword, it was on the ground.)

"......"

"This is not a permwainan that harasses grandfather untyuk even." (This is not a game that allows grandfather to be angry.)

The old soldier groaned and looked at the sword Henry had dropped.

"Oh no.... I'm too focused on fighting."

The old soldier reached out to help raise Henry. But Henry stood alone, not holding his hand.

Henry came out of the training ground, I rushed over and pulled his arm.

"What are you doing?"

"Henli's hurt, apply the medicine." (Henry is injured, apply medicine.)

"No, thank you."

"Are you afraid of the doctor? Oh doctor tuwa is good." (Are you afraid of doctors? Oh old doctor is good.)

He treated me well when I was sick. I'm not afraid of him.

"I'm not afraid of doctors! I just hate old men!"

The boy, who was shouting like that, suddenly covered his mouth. Standing on the side of the road, I looked at him.

Don't tell me you don't like old men.

I realized Dubbede's hidden side because I've been a duke's son many times.

Dubbede is a wealthy family with wealth, power, and fame on the outside, but in it there is terrible competition. From generation to generation, Dubbede's children had to give up the warm care their parents gave them instead of enjoying the abundant wealth their predecessors had achieved. The direct lineage was raised by the hands of Dubbede's predecessors and his close associates after birth. Only important days could they meet their parents.

Since childhood, the system has been designed to give absolute loyalty to the family and to appoint the most prominent successors. And the current duke's children, were all raised by his hands, until his predecessor died.

'The old man is very scary.'

Duke Amity, the father of my first life, trembled at the mention of the Dubbled tradition.

'Brain Dubbede is a terrible man. Wasn't he the devil who killed his second son, Chris, in front of his grandson? Do you know why the murder happened? Because he doesn't meet the Dubbede's standards. He killed her because he didn't need a child like that.'

What if Henry was the grandson that was with him when he killed the second son?

'Then you'll be traumatized by the old man.'

I clenched my fists. No matter how smart you are, you are a child. He was a traumatized child to parents. And Henry must have hidden the abuse because he thought he was a cripple.

'People didn't know about this abuse because Henry had hidden it thoroughly.'

Teramore must have known Henry was obsessed with perfection. So he dared to harass the Duke's son. A horrible old man.

'So what are we going to do now?'

The smart way is to keep your mouth shut. Will people believe me when I'm this young? Unlike previous incidents in Dubbede, the case involved followers. The people here have known Teramore longer than me. Of course, people's confidence was higher for him.

'What I've built so far can fall apart.'

But-but

Henry's hands shook. I can't ignore the kid. I stroked Henry's head. Then the surprised child pulled my hand.

"What are you doing?"

I let out a breath.

"What the fuck...."

"I will protect you, Henli." (I'll protect you, Henry.)

Henry frowned with his facial expression.

I can't help it, I'll protect you. So, reply me later.

...***...

Two days later, I went with Lea to the office. As I poked my face through the crack in the door, Nos, who was with the Duke, approached me, calling out, "Little Miss."

Nos bent his knees and looked at me, asking.

"What's wrong?"

I'm gonna dig up information on Teramore.

Knowing information about your enemies will lead to a plan to defeat them. But I can't get any in-depth information from my current position.

'In that case, you need to find someone who has a lot of information.'

Duke Dubbede, who owned one of the Empire's largest intelligence units.

Nos who looked at me said, "As expected, little lady is the funniest...."

Then he hugged me and headed towards the Duke.

"Leblaine is here."

The Duke quickly took me away and put me on his lap. I put my hand on the table, and peeked at Duke's papers.

"What do you see so close?"

I was very surprised and quickly made an excuse.

"Your writing bwagus. Whoa!" (Your writing is beautiful. Whoa!)

"You admire me for something that doesn't matter."

Then Nos laughed.

"You don't know how to write yet, do you?"

The Duke took a blank piece of paper from one side of the table, put a pen in my hand, and covered the back of my hand with his large warm hand. I was wondering what you were going to do, but you seemed to be holding my hand on blank paper and writing for me instead. My hands didn't move well, so the writing wasn't neat, but I could read the writing at a glance.

Once more.

"Can you read it?"

"Weblaine is my name." (Leblaine is my name.)

"He remembered it because the waiter wrote it often."

Hearing Nos words, Duke laughed and stroked my head. Indeed Duke did things with me in the Office. I hear this and that, keep calm so I won't interfere.

"How's the new advisory body?"

"I'll let the followers know about today."

"Is that so?"

Most of the information is about politics. But there are also stories that help. There will be vacancies in senior positions, so the board will elect new committee members. The candidate is Teramore. Besides him, there's Myshank.

...***...

That afternoon. I pretended to play, spending time in the park in front of the crowded entrance. Sitting on Lea's lap, picking flowers, peeking at her watch.

'Now four o'clock....'

Viscount Myshack was said to have an appointment with the Duke at 4:30 p.m., so he would pass through the gate at this time. I wanted to know when you were coming, so I lifted my neck, and someone walked in through the gate.

Brown curly hair, withered eyes, there were also cuts under his chin. He looks around his mid-thirties. Exactly the same as the picture.

I hugged his shoulder and said to Leah,

"Dingwin." (cold)

"Then we'll go inside?"

"No, I'll make this and give it to Leah." (i'll make this and give it to Leah.)

When I showed her the flower crown I made, Lea held her cheek and said, "You want to give it to me?"

Lea, who looked around and confirmed that there was a guard not far from here, got up.

"I'll bring a coat and a blanket."

"Yes." Yeah."

When Lea rushed in, I saw Myshank coming through the gate. When he was about to enter, he found me and turned his head towards me.

"I see the famous child of destiny here. My name is Carl Myshank. "

"I'm Bwaine. Hi." Hey." (I'm Blaine. Hiya.)

Let me greet you like a child. He looked at me from top to bottom. He seemed to be curious as to why I was attracting Duke's interest.

"What are you doing here? It's cold in here."

That's right, I'm waiting for that question. I laughed and said,

"Hondering Tera's grandfather." (Waiting for Tera's grandfather

"Terromore?"

As expected, once the person was mentioned, his face did not look good.

"Lebwaine will also take a tour with Henli and Isaac." (Leblaine will also take classes with Henry and Isaac.)

Myshank's mouth boasted as I said that I was waiting to ask for a class together.

"You misunderstood something. Teramore is an elderly man who is not qualified to teach the Dubbedes. His knowledge is not so broad and...."

When I blinked intentionally, Myshank told me in a more understandable word.

"That means you can't learn anything from Teramore."

"No, my brother is smart." (No, grandfather was smart.)

"What did he tell you?"

"Diya says that she is wearing a very tired robe now." (He said that he was wearing a really cool robe now.)

That means the dark red robe worn by the teaching board, which represents Dubbede.

'Myshank, that's the robe you want.'

As I spoke with my hands raised, his face changed at once.

"Did he say that?"

"Yes, he was talking to another man. Bwaine.

"That doesn't make sense. Position is....!"

"You mean he wants to be an elder...."

The elders......

Myshank's face hardened.
