The Baby Raising A Devil's
Chapter 20

...***...

"Ap, ap, what...."

Distrust spread across Teramore's face.

I whispered to him, "It's so stupid."

"......"

"Just wait, old man. Dyuke will soon know about this." (Just wait, old man. Duke will know about this soon.)

I walked past Teramore smiling. I grabbed Henry's hand and left the room.

"You crazy? Aren't you scared?"

I looked at Henry with a stiff face. Maybe he was surprised to see me interfere with Teramore's efforts, but that seems like a good thing. The wall between me and him has slightly disappeared.

"You'll be in trouble. Teramore is a cruel man."

"Tidwak is afraid." (Not afraid)

"......"

"Olang jahad hit Henli. I'm not scared at all." (The bad guy hit Henry. I'm not scared at all.)

Henry's eyes widened, as I said with determination. I'm really not afraid of Teramore. I have met countless evil people before and Teramore is just one of them. He was just a pervert who felt the pleasure of harassing children.

I'm more worried about Henry. The cheeks that Teramore hit were now swollen red and even his neat collar was tangled.

"Ayho went to Dyuke. Henli's hurt." (Let's go to Duke. Henry's hurt.)

"Enough...."

"Henli...." (Henry.).

"Enough!"

Henry shouted, stubbornly drawn in his eyes.

"Don't tell anyone about today."

Henry then walked away.

'Not that I don't understand the kid's mind. Abused children typically spend their entire lives avoiding others or growing up aggressively. Thus, his trauma developed. Even I, who had been reborn three times could not fully trust people because of my past life.'

I sighed when I saw Henry's back disappear.

...***...

Teramore walked back and forth in the hall while gritting his teeth in anger.

'That crazy girl...!'

"What'sthis? You are touched by love, you bastard."

Whenever Teramore recalled the child's expression, he would feel his anger rising once more.

'He's not the son of fate, he's the devil! That little devil must have been sent by the church to spy on Dubblede. Does she think I will be afraid of her small actions?!'

Teramore hurriedly stepped towards the Duke's office and knocked on the door.

"It's Teramore, sir."

Soon he heard the Duke's reply, allowing him into the room. Teramore entered the room with a face full of excitement, he couldn't wait to report Leblaine's actions to Dubblede.

He spoke hurriedly, "Your Majesty, the child of destiny-"

"That's old man!"

"......!"

Leblaine, who was sitting on the duke's lap, smiled. Teramore was surprised and ran towards the boy.

'That little girl is already...!'

Leblaine is not the only one. He was together with Viscount Myshank, Nos, the lieutenant and some members of the high council. They stared at Teramore with strange expressions on their faces.

'Did he already tell the duke about how I treated Henry?!'

Viscount Myshank frowned and said, "How can you do such a thing to the Duke's children?"

Teramore came up with a quick excuse, "Your Majesty, please listen to me! Why would I do that? Everything's a lie."

He then showed his injured hand hurriedly to the Duke.

"Babies are not just children. He stabbed the back of my hand with a pen. Isn't that suspicious?! He was too smart from the start. He's offering you stories about the church and the imperial family"

"What are you talking about?" Viscount Myshank interrupted Teramore's statement.

"I mean, this is dubious!"

Viscount Myshank looked at Teramore strangely, "We talked about how you intimidated and scared the Duke's daughter just because of the slight mistake she made."

"What?"

"You're too hard on that kid! He even cried as soon as he saw me!"

"That's, uh...."

"And you say such a thing? What else are you doing?"

Teramore. He looked around the room with trembling eyes, when his eyes met Leblaine. Leblaine's mouth rose into a small grin.

He was like saying, 'Do you think the Viscount is talking about Henry?'

The little girl also brought Myshank, who was an enemy to her, and made it impossible to think of any other reason for harassing Henry.

As Teramore's face paled, Myshank interrogated him, "Let me ask again, what have you done?"

"That's, that's my tongue slipping."

But no one in the room believed him.

Myshank said to the Duke, "This is suspicious, Duke. It was strange to act like that because of a small matter. Wouldn't this kind of behavior affect children's character badly?"

Even Nos and the high councils voiced their concerns.

"We need confirmation."

"Unless his ignorance is proven, we cannot hand over the education of children to such a man."

The Duke's sharp gaze pierced through the Teramore.

Teramore shouted, "Wait, sir!", But Duke Dubblede did not heed his request. He immediately ordered his men to investigate Teramore.

...***...

I jumped off the Duke's lap and followed Myshank. My face is full of joy.

"Tuwan Mishang." (Mr Myshank)

He looked back at me.

"Yes, kid. What's up?"

I pulled on Myshank's shirt with a plain look.

"Is the old man a bad man?"

"Terromore?"

He continued with a grin.

"Yes, right. Very, very bad man."

"If the teacher is a wahad, how about Henli and Isyak grow up to be a jahad too?" (If the teacher is evil, how about Henly and Ishac grow up to be bad guys?)

"Don't worry. I'll help them."

"Tomorrow I will ask the other nobles to come to the castle and beg the chairman to delay the children's class until the case is settled."

I acted innocent and said, "Wow!" then I jumped up and down.

'Unexpectedly, you're on my side.'

That was a good thing for me, so I gave her a big smile.

After Myshank left with a wide smile, Teramore walked out of the Duke's office.

'You must have trouble talking to him.'

Teramore, who saw me, gritted his teeth.

"You...!"

Looking around quickly, he pulled my arms and head into the corner of the room.

"This little bitch! Do you think I'll accept this treatment?"

"What did akyan do?" (What are you going to do?)

"You must be the devil sent by the church...!"

"Sir, are you stupid?" (Grandfather, are you stupid?)

"What?"

"You're the one who admitted the mistake." (You are the one who admitted the mistake.)

"You bitch...."

"How do you know? My nickname is bitch!" (How do you know? My nickname is bitch.)

I looked straight into Teramore's eyes and spoke in a low tone.

"If you touch them again, I'll shiver you." (If you touch them again, I'll bite you.)

"......!"

I kept talking with a big smile.

"So let me go. Now." Now."

I used to be a beggar in my past life. Teramore's threat doesn't bother me in the least.

The grip strength of Teramore slowly loosened.

I shook his hand easily and turned to walk away.

...***...

Two days later, Myshank came to the castle with the other nobles and begged to dismiss Teramore.

Teramore became Henry and Isaac's teacher due to the vote of the high council, but now half of the council's votes are on Myshank's side. Given how it developed, now the senior position would most likely be given to Myshank, as the position of Teramore became unstable due to recent events.

"To, chief...."

I hummed in the corridor while hearing Teramore's voice pleading for leniency to the chairman.

I'm thinking of checking Henry's condition.

The life of a noble is very sad. Instead of worrying about food, they worry about learning. Even with the class postponed, the two sat side by side in their study and PR work.

I peeked at my face in front of the study room door to look for their shadows.

'uh? There's no one....'

"Hey you!"

"Aahh!", I jumped in shock, shocked by the voice coming from behind my shoulder.

I held my chest tightly with both hands as I tried to calm my heartbeat. I turned around and found Isaac and Henry standing behind me.

"Why, why are you here?" (Why, why here?)

When I asked, Isaac lifted the book beside him and shrugged his shoulders.

"There are books here that are not available in the library. Why are you here?", he answered.

Isaac furrowed his nose, staring at my nervous movements, "Are you running away?"

"No, no!"

"So?"

"Just look around." (Walk only.)

I swung my hand around the room and made an excuse, Isaac moved his eyebrows.

I glanced at Henry.

'Are you going to get angry if I say I came to check on you?'

I wondered what to do, when Isaac said, "No way, you... You must have heard somewhere that today's snack is cake."

Whahuh?
