The Baby Raising A Devil's
Chapter 3

...***...

"You're friendly, too,"

The followers laughed, immediately starting the meeting. Meanwhile, I sat quietly on the Duke's lap. And in the midst of them I answered as they asked about the story of the temple or the royal family.

After a while, the meeting ended. The followers left one by one, and grandfather, who stayed behind, approached me.

"Thank you for telling me this story."

'Thank you for saying that. That's a good thing for me too.'

I have a lot of hatred for the church. When the original child of fate appeared, they threw me into a sacrifice for the spirits. Moreover, you cannot dig an oriharkon from the terrifying ancient mountains.

"It's a gift."

Grandpa offered me candy. I took Duke Dubbede's hand and took the candy.

Grandfather who gave me candy left the meeting room with a big smile, and said, "As expected, this kid is very cute."

There are only two people left in the meeting room, me and the Duke. He glanced at me and took the candy from my hand.

Surprised, I fell silent then looked at my hand and the candy that Duke had stolen several times. Instantly I felt sad.

'Candy. That's my candy. You son of a bitch, you took candy from a kid!'

Duke Dubbede roughly peeled off the candy wrapper at once. And...

"Mouth."

'for me? Maybe, he's not that bad'

As I was thinking so, Duke pressed my cheek with his hand. Because of the pressure from his hand, my mouth opened like a fish, so he put the candy in my mouth.

'Bad people.'

Still, the candy is good. He pressed my cheek, which was bulging with candy.

"When you return to the capital, if someone gives you candy, tell them who your family is."

"No."

"Why?"

'Why should I tell the people in the capital? There was the Imperial Palace, the Church, and the Duke. They are all the people who have made me difficult.'

However, I can't tell you why. So I told him briefly.

"Because I'll be on Dyuke's side." (Because I'll be by Duke's side.)

So far, Dubbede is the only family that hasn't left me. The memory of the past few days seemed to endure the inner torment for me every time I returned to the capital a fourth time.

The candy is delicious. Warm blanket. The lullaby Lea sang was good to hear.

Duke Dubbede isn't as bad as I've heard. While thinking so, I looked at Duke.

Eh? Isn't that a smile?

Then Lea came to pick me up.

"Little lady, sir," said Lea, who was happy to see me, bowing her head.

Duke lifted me up on the table.

"Don't let them roam noisily."

'Yes. A cold-blooded man would never laugh.'

...***...

Back in the room, I stood in front of the sofa table and fell in love with the block game.

'Okay, one more and it'll be 12 floors. One over. One more!'

The servants, who watched me play alone, chatted before I realized it.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." Yeah."

When Lea nodded, the servants covered their open mouths with their hands.

"Oh my God."

"No way."

"Does the sun rise from the west? You're worried about the baby."

Who cares about me? I was shocked and twisted my body. The wind toppled the beam.

"Huk!"

As I groaned, Lea ran towards me quickly.

"It's okay, little lady. You can put it back in. Well," said Lea, who collected the fallen beams and arranged them slowly.

"Please tell me more, Lea."

"Rubber. How could you care?"

Ja. Tell me. Lea opened her mouth, building blocks for me.

"It's dangerous at night, so take good care of the baby."

'How can you interpret 'Don't let them roam noisily' to be as if the Duke cares about me so much?'

I was impressed and impressed with his positive thinking.

"Then will you adopt the baby?"

"I hope so, she'll be happy to have a brother."

Ah, three confucius of Dubbede. They've been famous since I was young. They all showed off their good looks, martial arts skills, intelligence, and cool personalities.

I've never seen them, but I've heard enough of them.

There are other nicknames of the Three Confucius Dubbede.

They were as cold and indifferent to others as Duke, but they were as sweet as a honeycomb to Mina.

The story is so famous that when Mina is kidnapped by another country, they rush and destroy the country. Especially the eldest son has a love triangle with the Crown Prince and Mina.

"But would it be nice if the baby was adopted?"

"What?"

"You know. Master is a man who even stabbed his predecessor, and is emotionally good for him to be adopted by the other Duke-"

"Linda!" Lea cried sharply.

Lea, who was glaring at the waiter, sent the other waiter away with a nod. Then he held my hand gently and said,

"Master isn't a bad person."

"........"

"It's a big misconception that you don't have anyone around because of complicated circumstances!"

"........"

"Master is not cold-blooded without having humanity, as people say. He loved and cared for his wife. If she doesn't leave during birth, she'll probably have a good mother for her baby."

Leah's eyes darkened with sadness. The Duchess is expecting her fourth child? I've never heard that before in my past life. I feel sorry for Duke.

'Right now I understand why Duke became cold as ice in the middle of winter. How can you live properly after losing two people you love at the same time?'

"I hope you're not afraid of him."

"Yes." Yeah."

Lea, hugging me carefully, caressed my back with a gentle touch.

"You're so sweet."

The whisper in my ear was sweet, and the wind coming from the window was cold. Thanks to that, I closed my eyes slowly, leaning my face against Lea's shoulder.

...***...

It wasn't until midnight that I put my head on the pillow and struggled.

'I'm hungry!'

I turned the memory in my head, it turns out I didn't have dinner. Lea and the servants seemed to put me to sleep without waking me up.

I thought I'd wait until morning, but I couldn't help being hungry.

'All I eat in the afternoon is candy and a glass of juice.'

The only thing that filled my mind right now was this empty stomach.

When I was in Vallua, I remember being stuck in a locker room for a few days and then starving. In the days of being a vagabond, I still remember the pain of being hungry and dying.

'I have to find food and eat it.'

In the end, I followed my instincts, and got out of bed carefully. Trying to push the big door and go to the middle of the hallway. I held back the fear of the darkness and came towards the kitchen, but the door was locked.

'Oh my God.'

I'm exploring the castle again. It lasted a long time, until I found bread in front of the servant's quarters. The bread was cut in half and crushed when someone left it, but I was already satisfied with finding something to eat. Holding the bread in my arms, I dashed into the hall excitedly.

'Go back to the room and eat-'

"Well!"

I hurriedly hid the bread behind me. Duke Dubbede looked at me with cold eyes. Tonight, I was so scared that my hands and feet were shaking. At that moment, I remembered something that Mina had said in my previous life.

'So Jean Valjean was guilty of stealing bread, uh, what's his name - Jean Valjean. Yes, that's his name. What is the punishment of Jean Valjean for stealing bread?- Executed!'

When Mina's bright voice came to my mind, all the colors on my face disappeared.

"What are you doing here?"

"Did the Queen Mother send you to spy on my family?"

I swallowed dry saliva. Duke Dubblede, is not someone I can handle. I can't answer anything out of fear, Duke Dubbede muttered lowly.

"Child of destiny."

"Yes...!"

"I hate people who lie. The naive, especially those who pretend to be on my side."

"Their mouths will all be torn apart."

My back shuddered. The Duke slightly bowed towards me.

"What am I supposed to do with this little rat, hm?"

I sat in a hurry. Clenched and put both hands together.

"Mom, mom, buk, byukan!"

"What?"

"I'm chasing him..."

"What is money?"

"Holy thing?"

"........"

"Military secrets?"

".............."

Duke's eyes shone with a blue hue in the dark, really scary, so I let out a voice while whining.

"Rhothi..." (Bread.).
