The Baby Raising A Devil's
Chapter 52

...***...

Hope's peak required guards who would often engage in small battles with bandits. I'm sure Zachary can help.

I looked at Henry and Isaac.

"I want something."

"What is that, Leblaine?"

"What! Tell me. I'll buy you everything!"

"The puppy."

Both of them muttered,

"Puppy...."

...***...

Me, Henry, Isaac, and the servants came out of the castle.

Just because I want to keep a puppy, we'll buy it together.

Isaac said he would buy me the prettiest dog, but I insisted that I choose him myself.

"What if the anying boy who is buying, doesn't like Bwaine?"

The two brothers replied with puzzled expressions on their faces.

"No creature in the world will hate you, right?"

But eventually those two guys lost to me, so I can go and see a puppy like this.

Our destination is Plum Street, just outside the Dubbede area. Because there's a pet shop for nobles.

'Disana is also close to the orphanage where Zachary is located.'

The train stopped when I thought so.

I held my brother's hand and got out of the carriage. Then, I looked around the luxurious street like the Dubbede shopping district.

"Wow...."

I exclaimed. Then, the servants smiled and said,

"It's amazing, isn't it? Plum Street has the largest casino in the kingdom. There's a lot to see because there's a lot of restaurants and shopping districts."

It's really a fun place to look around.

I grabbed the servant's hand and chased after Henry and Isaac.

'This casino is huge.'

Suddenly, Lea looked back and whispered to Henry and Isaac.

"There's someone following us."

"Yes, I feel it too."

Isaac's eyes turned cold.

"Four.no, they're five."

"These people have been trained. They're good at hiding themselves."

As I opened my eyes wide, Henry and Isaac looked at me normally.

"Leblaine, stay with the servants for a while."

"I'll be right back."

With a slightly nervous face, I grabbed his second shirt.

"Are you worried? Stupid, we are so strong. You don't have to worry. "

Isaac grabbed me and put his face on my cheek. "It must make you feel better."

Then Henry gripped his collar and threw it to the side.

"Don't worry. We'll be right back."

'What I'm worried about are the people who follow us...'

I think Isaac will break their necks.

I said, "Reply back."

Isaac and Henry left me with the servants and disappeared.

"Little Miss, should we go to the bakery? Plum Street napkins are delicious. It's in the golden building after passing through this alley."

"Good."

Lea, the waiters, and I headed to the bakery.

The servants kept talking about this and that, afraid that I would be anxious.

"What kind of dog will you buy? A big, smooth dog would be nice, wouldn't it?"

"Little poodles that look cute like little girls would be great."

"Do you want me to carry a pet catalog while you're at the bakery? Do you want to see it?"

When I entered the alley, I saw someone in the alley.

"You took all my money, asshole."

The boy muttered furiously and threw embers into the building.

The servants stared at the building that was starting to burn.

"Oh my God, this is a gambling house. If he gets caught, he'll get in trouble." Said Yuni, a former loan shark.

"Should I help him?"

Those were the words of Dahlia, a friendlier serial killer among Leblaine's three servants

"But that's none of our business?" Ask Linda the con man.

To be honest, Leblaine, a pessimistic adult, agreed with the servants' thoughts. But as a child, I felt sympathy.

'He looks thirteen, and I can't just watch gangsters beat him to death.'

Just enough to turn off the coals, not that difficult.

I sighed deeply and grabbed Lea's skirt.

"My eyes are hot."

Only then did the servants run to stop the fire.

"The bad fire that makes our little lady's eyes hot."

"The fire is bad!"

The boy frowned looking at the unexpected intruder.

"What's this empty muzzle?" He looked at us silly.

"Miss, why are you interrupting other people's work!"

"It's a crime."

When I muttered that, he looked at me.

"Are you the owner of these servants?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"You want to die? Don't bother and get out of here. You're ugly."

Then, the servants who stepped on the coals stopped their steps. Lea's eyes, which held my hand, sharpened.

"You, what did you just say?"

"Who's ugly?"

"Yuni, let her go."

Lea smiled at me and said,

"Little Miss, close your eyes for a moment and count to 30."

I glanced at the rude boy and stood still, covering my eyes with my hands.

"One, two, three..."

The screams of the boy echoed in the narrow alley.

...***...

The boy held his hand near the wall and cried, with a runny nose.

The servants looked at the boy and shouted.

"Why didn't you say it? Hurry along!"

The little boy cried as the servants shouted.

"Little Miss is the funniest thing in the world!"

"One more time!"

"Little lady...."

As soon as he shouted, I heard a rumbling sound from the child's stomach. "Hungry?"

"What do you really care?..."

As he said so, he quickly treated me with respect as he looked at the sharp gazes of the servants.

I swung my hands at the servants who had intimidated the boy.

The servants retreated with a frown as I reached out to him.  Then the surprised boy backed off. He thinks I'm trying to hit him.

I rubbed the soot on the boy's cheek with the tip of my finger and wiped it.

"Well." Yeah."

"......"

"We're going to the bakery. Let's go together."

"I don't have any money..."

I rummaged through my bag and took out a handful of gold coins.

It was money secretly given by the followers to me when they heard I was going to Plum Street with Henry and Isaac.

"Is that all yours?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Wow, you can play thirty rounds of roulette with that kind of money."

...------ I N F O-------...

*Rolet: a casino and gambling game. In the game, players can choose to bet on a single number, various groupings of numbers, the color red or black, whether odd or even, or if the numbers are high (19-36) or low (1-18)

...-------------------------...

The boy nodded, his eyes sparkling as he looked at the servants.

Soon, we entered the bakery.

The servants piled bread on trays like mountains.

These breads were quite expensive, so the attendants and customers looked at us with their mouths wide open.

I extended the bread that the servants brought to the child.

"It."

"......."

He looked a little wary of me and took the bread. His eyes grew after tasting. Then, he stuffed everything into his mouth in fear.

"Grandfather!"

I was worried that the food would get stuck in her throat while eating in a hurry, so I gave her some milk.

"Didn't an adult feed you?"

"Who will feed the orphans?"

An orphan?

The only orphanage near here is the private orphanage where Zachary is located.

'Is he Zachary?'

I looked at him and shook my head.

Zachary was one of the four knights who showed off his outstanding skills.

It makes no sense that a strong man comparable to Isaac was this weak.

Usually, strong people are wary of the presence of people.

Isaac, who was five years younger than the boy, also noticed the presence of a stalker before Lea noticed it.

But the boy burned without knowing there was a sound right next to him. Unaware of the signs, it meant his senses were blunt.

Moreover, the boy did not look as serious and thoughtful a character as in the rumors.

'I want to meet Zachary, but if this kid is in the same orphanage, I might have a chance to meet him.'

I answered while taking a cup of milk.

"I'm also an orphan."

"...Lying, you have a waiter."

"I'm adopted."

"You must be from a state or public orphanage, right?"

"No, private orphanage."

The boy's eyes widened.

"Wow, you got the jackpot."

There were only a few cases of adoption from private orphanages. Even if there were, most of them were taken to fields where the workers were not enough.

"Why didn't those servants kill me before?"

The boy whispered with bread in his hand

"Because it's not gonna hit a kid."

My servant is a criminal, but a good kind of criminal.

'It's a strange thing to say.'

The boy put the rest of the bread into his mouth.

Then, while watching around, unwittingly by the servants, he hid the bread under his shirt.

"You interrupted my work, but you gave me something to eat, so I'll forget it."

"Gambling house. Why are you trying to start a fire?"

"I tried gambling in hopes of getting more money for my family, but as it turned out, they manipulated roulette."

"But you're gambling."

"Are you an idiot? How could you not do something so fun?"

She's dumb....

I took a long breath.

"If we had been five times, we would have lost your organs, not your money."

"Oh, you're still a child, but you know about organ loss. I feel guilty."

The grinning boy gently pressed down on my cheek with one hand.

Then.

"What are you doing motherfucker?"

A cold voice sounded from the door.

He stepped up and grabbed the boy's wrist.

"Don't touch my sister."

Isaac stared at him fiercely.
