The Baby Raising A Devil's
Chapter 4

...***...

Hixes.

Hixes.

I ate the cake while letting out tears and snot. I couldn't think of anything because it tasted good every time I chewed it, but after swallowing it, I continued to cry from feeling sad.

Duke Dubbede is a cheap bastard. I can eat leftover bread. Why are you so angry about it?

I looked at the Duke sitting opposite me with a stern look.

Lea, who brought me the cake on Duke's orders, said in a shy tone.

"She went to bed early and had not eaten. So..."

"So he took the bread thrown away by the servants."

"....."

Lea's face turned blue. She pursed her lips tightly, looking guilty. But Leah was completely innocent.

After feeling somewhat full, I reached out to Lea.

"I'm mauk perghi..." (I want to go)

I regret not having finished the cake. But I don't want to see a good Lea getting scolded by a bad guy!

At that moment, the Duke extended his hand as I hugged Lea's arm. The Duke's hand, which was about to pass through the rest of the pastry, stopped in mid-air. On the table with a bowl and milk plate, the wind blew.

"........"

"........"

"........"

"What's wrong with her?"

"I think he's afraid of being scolded."

Lea's right. I'm scared because I feel threatened by the Duke. His look just makes me nervous. Duke looked at me with a strange look and I became even more afraid. So I whine, man,

"I'm akyan I'm back." (I'll be back.)

Lea calmed me down with an agitated look, and one more thing, she bit her lips as if she had made up her mind.

"Tu.., Mister!"

"......."

"Little Miss had to finish her meal, so we had to go back!" Leah sounded like a knight running to attack a large army alone.

Duke looked at me, and I slid behind Lea's arm. He's nodding.

After we returned, Lea bowed and lifted me up. Then, he left the room quickly, and vomited. His face was blue and his lips were shaking.

Lea, as Duke Dubbede's servant, had just witnessed how cold her heart was. So how scared he was when he said something like that earlier...

'People like him are a bit rare.'

Leah took me to my room and brought me something to eat. It was milk porridge with chestnut nuts in it.

I patted my stomach after emptying two bowls of milk porridge.

"I ask you if you feel hungry." (I'm sorry to keep feeling hungry.)

Then Lea hugged me with teary eyes.

"Don't say that. Little miss needs to eat a lot and sleep a lot."

He laughed and laid me on the bed and pulled the blanket up to the end of the neck.

"Hopefully dream, little lady."

After I was full, I slept well and woke up. I felt so sorry for Lea last night, so I decided to show her my cuteness.

"Nea, I love you!" (Lea, I like you!)

The maids looked horrendous when they saw me hugging her waist with my fat hands that were like two sausages. The corner of Lea's mouth rose.

Meanwhile, the waiter who was staring at the door stiffened and before long all the other servants jumped in surprise.

'Heuk. There are bad guys.'

Duke Dubblede and his lieutenants looked at me. I hurriedly hid behind Lea and stuck out my head.

"No, little lady..." The lieutenant and the servant called me in shame.

But I shook my head.

'He's really scary....'

What he said last night was like a knife cutting my throat. The lieutenant, who was sweating, said awkwardly.

"Let's call her name sweet. So that the baby can relax."

"........"

Duke remained silent. He looked at me and frowned for a moment. And I shook my head inside.

In the last ten days he had never called me by name. He just called me Son of Destiny, you, hey, little boy, etc. You must have never read the letters sent by the Queen Mother.

"Grou." Duke called my name.

'You know my name?'

I was dumbfounded to the point that I blinked continuously.

The Duke has a famous story that he does not remember the name Mina who has been in the palace for more than three months. It's amazing that Duke remembers my name.

'But he seems not interested at all.'

The Duke spoke to me again.

"What's wrong? Come here."

Everyone in the room was watching me. I hesitated and leaned a little.

"Are you going to hit me?" (Are you going to hit me?)

"I never hit you."

'You hit me with your words. With words!'

When I looked at him with a suspicious look, he let out something. Lollipop.

"There's a lot there."

"........"

I ran towards him and hugged him. Somehow, there seemed to be an arrogant grin hanging in his mouth.

Yes, it would be very surprising that a child sent by the Queen Mother sneaks in at night. He was also the one who told the secrets of the Imperial Palace and the church.

'How many sweets? He's rich, there's probably ten.'

He carried me and walked in the castle. Every time they saw us, they opened their mouths wide and dropped their pens and brooms. To me it was a natural reaction, even though the person concerned was walking along with the Duke.

The Duke, who had stopped walking, lowered me at the door.

'There must be candy here!'

I opened the door excitedly and entered. Then my eyes widened and blinked. I gulped dry when I saw the candy filling the room. I glanced at the duke.

'Can I eat all this?'

When I looked at him with such eyes, the Duke said in a dry voice.

"Eat as much as you want."

'Oh my God!'

I rushed to the candy pile. The colorful candy is enough to swim in it. Often I find such chocolates or marshmallows in packs. I tore the shiny gold wrap and ate it.

'It's very tasty.'

The Duke frowned after being shocked for a while. I don't have time to think about such a thing.

Do rich people eat delicious food like this all the time? Sweet, sour lumps quickly melt in the mouth, and the fruit syrup inside is tasted on the tip of the tongue.

I ate it like crazy. Every time I chew it, my cheeks bulge. I quickly spent one and took another candy. This time it's candy canes.

I tried to put the candy in my mouth when I felt a strange look. And then I glanced at the duke.

'If you eat alone, you look disgusting.'

Didn't you realize when you were a beggar? Even a single meal, we shared and created affection. So I gave her candy.

"I gave this to you." (I gave this to you)

He looked at me with a strange look and saw the candy in my hand.

"Why?"

I snorted and he slowly opened his mouth.

"You look weird."

"........"

I feel like my cheeks are going to explode.

'I'll hit you with candy and pretend it wasn't intentional.'

I thought like that, but I remembered my purpose here and began to calm down.

'I really need the help of this evil person if I don't want to die as miserably as my previous life.'

I really need to build a good relationship. Although I was stupid at the time and the results were not good, this time I had experience.

I thought to myself and jumped into his arms.

"Dyuke, pickle for the pellmens. (Duke, thanks for the candy.) "

The Duke was surprised but then he started laughing.
