The Baby Raising A Devil's
Chapter 32

...***...

Really?

You're gonna give this to me?

A certificate?

That's the biggest toy store certificate, isn't it?

Be calm.

I know how painful it is to have something beyond your means because I was once a child of false destiny.

I couldn't take it with me when I was exiled and since I was young and couldn't run such a big store, someone else would take over.  Anyway, I won't be able to touch that money. With a heavy heart, I returned the certificate to Duke.

"I don't think I'm reading some hurup." (I can't read a few letters)

Leah laughed lovingly, saying, "I'll read it to you."

"Oh, this is a toy store certificate, little lady!"

I said with a gloomy tone. "Bwaine doesn't want paper."

"It's not just paper, little lady. If you had this, you could have all the toys in the store."

I shook my head with a sad look.

"don't want... I want more toys."

Henry and Isaac looked at the Duke.

"For a child, the meaning of a toy store certificate is beyond his comprehension."

"Well, a bow and a dress will make her happier."

Duke looks like he was struck by lightning. Meanwhile, the two brothers grinned and grabbed both of my arms.

"Let's go to your room, Leblaine."

"Yes, we'll take you."

I heard the voice of the Duke behind me, who was watching us helplessly.

"Those who handle this, bring me the list."

Apparently, there was another gift he had prepared.

...***...

I got up before sunrise and left the soft bed.

'OK, I've taken care of the bow that Isaac gave me.'

Just in case, I even inserted the tracking device Lea had given me in my pocket.

There are a lot of people out there who want me so badly that they bring a human merchant into the castle, so I have to be careful.

I infiltrated the dungeon.

The soldiers were on patrol, but I managed to sneak in, making use of my experience as a beggar. Of course, gaining keys is also a skill learned because of that experience.

"Seria."

A small voice caused the crouching girl to raise her head.

"Little lady....!"

"Shhh!"

As I placed my index finger on her lips, Seria then lowered her voice.

"What are you doing here?"

"There's a place I want to go with Seria."

I left the dungeon while holding Seria's hand, blinking innocently

Through the iron bars, a terrible groan was heard, like the sound of iron scratches. Seria took a deep breath as she looked at the figure inside the cage,

"Jacob......!"

He looked at me with the look on his face asking why I brought him here.

I shrugged, saying, "I'll help you."

"But it's locked."

"I don't think so."

Then I opened the door.

"How can you?!"

It seems Jacob hasn't acknowledged anything about who the 'customer' is.

That is, the Duke will leave the door open.

'So Jacob could run away and meet with his customers.'

It is most likely that Jacob had already given or buried a tracking device attached to him.

The Dubbedes are as scary as any rumor I've ever heard.

"Let's go in."

When I opened the door, Seria went into Jacob's prison. Jacob who was drooping from the wall towards the floor looked at us with his barely moving eyes.

"Save... Save me.... "

"I won't listen to you!" Seria shouted as she rushed towards him.

Jacob, who had been tortured for hours, did not have the strength to break away from Seria's clutches.

"Where's brother? Where did you sell it...!"

When Jacob did not answer, he began to strangle her.

"Customers."

"What?"

"Customer took it."

"You mean the customer who told you to kidnap little miss?"

When Seria released her grip on Jacob, whose neck had been flushed red, she exhaled.

"I don't know who it is. I seriously.  Customers come in all the time and buy children. All the children raised in the House of Hope were bought by him."

"What did you do to my brothers?"

"......."

"Speak!!"

Jacob looked at Seria while gulping.

Sir!

I kicked him in the face.

"I'm just saying that's all you can say!" (I think that's all you can say)

Seria stepped on Jacob to stop him from moving, while looking at me dumbfounded. I could hear the moaning sound of her pain as Seria punched her in the face to knock her down.

"No, Little Miss."

Seria was shocked and hugged me.

I'm staring.

"I have a question."

"Say."

I looked in his eyes and opened my mouth.

"How desperate are you to find your saw?" (How desperate are you to find your brother)

"........Pardon?"

Seria's eyes were shaking.

"Can you kill more people who destroy your life and your brothers?"

When asked that, Seria's eyes changed mysteriously.

"You.... Not an ordinary kid."

I grinned.

"If kamwu siyap does that, I'll help you." (If you're ready to do that, I'll help you)

I slowly stretched out my hand.  Seria, who was still staring at my little hand, bit her lips tightly.

"I've sworn to finish him off."

He took my hand.

"What should I do?"

"Do you want to get a uwang present now?"

...***...

Seria looked at me who was putting a typical child smile on my face.

"You want me to turn myself in?"

"Yes, so you can get the reward."

"Then I will be executed!"

"That's not gonna happen."

"How can you be sure?"

"Let the pastor visit you before that happens." (Ask the pastor to visit you before that happens)

I held up my position and lowered my voice.

"I know where the original copy of the Bible is."

Seria's eyes are enlarged.

"That's ridiculous!"

"But I do know where it is."

I'm sure they'll be desperate to get it and save Seria's life.

"The "original version of the Bible is priceless. Why are you using it for that?"

"Because Seria is precious."

He looked at me for a moment without saying anything.

With trembling pupils and open lips, I could see how touched she was.

'Really, seria is very valuable.'

She devoted her life to her younger siblings as they grew up together in daycare school.

He was someone who would never betray a person who earned his loyalty. Above all, Seria is smart.

He is in contrast to Jacob, who passed the exam with the help of a 'customer', or Charlie who somehow managed to enter the administrative office.

Without a proper education in upbringing, she passed the Dubbede administrative examination only by studying from aristocrats.

This guy is full of determination.

'She is somewhat similar to Nos.'

There is no one as good as him to stay by my side.

"Then where should I say the originals?"

"Pustrevious lahasia Empress."

Besides, I can kill two birds with one stone.

The Empress kept her original ownership a secret.

The temple would tremble with a sense of betrayal if they knew that the Empress, who had a good relationship with them, secretly had the original biblical text that the church had been looking for.

"Go before dawn."

"Little lady, I'll never forget this."

Seria who was kneeling strengthened her resolve.

"I'm really ashamed of this, but may I ask for another request?"

"What?"

"Please get out of here first."

He looked at Jacob with cold eyes and continued.

"And don't come back no matter what you hear."

I glanced at his black twitching eyes.

".......Alright."

I left the prison first, at his request. Behind me, Jacob's desperate screams followed. That day Jacob exits the prison as a corpse, and Seria sneaks out of the castle.

A few days later, a shipment in the name of 'Children's Day gift' was sent to me.

There's 30,000 francs in the bag. That was the reward amount from Seria.
