The Baby Raising A Devil's
Chapter 55

...***...

The chairman came to see me.

"I heard you had a nightmare last night."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Is it because of me?"

The chairman's eyes are a little wet.

I blew my hot chocolate and listened to the chairman's words again.

"I'm a bad guy. I'm supposed to be blamed, and..."

"I have to tell you slowly."

Hearing my words, the chief coughed and muttered, "Ha..." And his gaze was on me.

"There's one thing you can do for me."

"What does this have to do with it?" The chief's brows furrowed, "I've been overworked to carry out the order you gave me last time."

As if my words sounded strange, I gave a sweet smile to her.

The leader stopped and sighed.

"Say..."

"Get the doll and make it a fake identity."

"You mean a ball-jointed doll?"

Ball-jointed dolls are magical tools. It could be used as a substitute for someone by injecting magic or holy power into a puppet that looks like a real human.

The price is expensive ges, can be in the tens of millions

"Ordinary people, in their 20s, that doll will lead the top of hope."

"It's gonna cost a lot of money. There was only one such type of magician in the Empire, and it was hard to find even with Dubbede's power."

"I have a little money left that I collected to defect."

"How will you defect if you use the money?"

"Not anymore." I stood up and walked towards the chairman, "I'll stay here tight."

"You're not going to defect?"

I grinned and said,

"I will make Dubbelde independent from the kingdom. Where we won't see any interference from the church and royal family."

"......!"

The chairman's face stiffened.

"Cannot be. It was a goal that had already been set from the first Duke to the current Duke, but no one could achieve it. It was just a meaningless dream."

"Why is your mouth shaking when you say that?"

He laughed out loud.

"It's funny to be excited to hear the word independence even at this age."

"Aren't you being too honest?"

The chairman's eyes sparkled as I held the brown glass with both hands.

"People who have served in Dubbede are honest but they have their own desires. Only hypocrites from the kingdom call us criminals."

"They will be my support until I feel strong enough. Go and get it."

"It looks like my birthday present from Louis isn't a spinel, but you, little miss."

The chairman and I looked at each other and laughed like villains ...

...***...

There's a lot of work to be done for my new purpose. Fortunately, there are some things I have already accomplished while preparing to defect.

The summit of hope.

A helper who has a strong influence...

'The only thing left is the guards.'

Despite Dubbede's excellent military prowess, Dubbede still lacked the strength to fight the royal family or the church in the event of an emergency.

So I called Andy.

Upon entering the room, the boy opened his mouth with a dumbfounded expression.

"What kind of room is this..."

I gave her a basket of cookies, which muttered with excitement.

"Eat this."

Andy, who took the cake, looked at me.

"But what are you calling me for..."

"Andy, does kamyu want to stay here?"

When I asked, Andy dropped the cake.

Andy, with his palms outstretched, gulped his saliva a few times.

"Tu, that, wait."

"Huh?"

"Since when?"

"When did you like me? Has it been since you gave me bread that time?"

"What?"

"Me, I'm in trouble. She's sweet, but she's four and I'm thirteen. Too much age difference. I'll be labeled a pedophile who thinks of a child as a woman."

"......"

"You're really cute, and to be honest, I've never seen a kid as cute as you, but I'm not a pervert–"

... What is he talking about.

"You must be my knight."

As I looked at him, Andy, whose face was as red as a tomato, asked back, "Huh?"

I didn't cancel plans to find Zachary. However, this is the second best plan.

'Even if I find Zachary, he probably won't be loyal to me.'

But Andy obviously has a good feeling for me...

Although weaker than Zachary, his abilities were quite good...

He led a group of four or five years old, and managed to encourage a much stronger number of adult men.

The strategy he used at the time.

Self confidence.

The courage to lead.

I gave him a very high score for all that.

"I don't have the money to buy horses and guns. Who will accept me as a student?"

To be a knight, you have to be more than just strong.

It must have been a difficult dream for Andy.

"I have a lot of uwang!"

I showed her the amber-like gems and diamonds that Isaac gave me last time with both hands.

"Are you really going to use me as a knight?"

"Yes, Dubbede Akyan raised you if you were my knight."

"Miss."

He immediately changed his attitude.

'Well, this is a good thing. His shortsightedness fits with Dubbede.'

I nodded in satisfaction, and Andy said with a stern expression....

"It's time to swear allegiance, right? I know how to."

This will be the third time someone has pledged allegiance to me, which was at first burdensome.

"Andy greet tuan—"

He suddenly stopped and frowned. Then he muttered, "Isn't that a name that's too common for a knight?"

"OK, I'll change my name like a knight from today."

He put his knees on the floor and looked at me....

"Knight Zachary greets you."

"...What's?"

I'm staring...

"What was that?"

"Zachary, isn't that a knight's name?"

I looked at Andy, or now Zachary, with a confused expression on my face...

'Really?'

Is he really Zachary?

Andy is weak! If Andy really is Zachary, why can't he fight back at all?

"Why didn't you fight back when my servant attacked you last time?"

"Because I can't hit a woman."

"But you're crying."

"The situation was right at that time."

That was all a trick?

It's breathtaking...

I was so sad when I thought I couldn't find Zachary, but it turns out Andy is Zachary!

However, it wasn't Zachary's fault, so I pressed my forehead to calm my irritation.

I called Lea.

"Lea, teach Zachary the sword."

"The boy's name is Zachary?"

"Yes, he just changed it."

"I understand."

Lea, who was nodding, hit Zachary and looked at him.

"Follow me. I'll teach you the sword."

Zachary seemed to wonder why a maid taught the sword, but she followed him.

And that day, Zachary really cried.

...***...

"It is better to teach Zachary the spear than the sword. He's got talent."

"OK..."

"Haha, he's a funny kid. He had a great fantasy of how a knight should act in front of others."

Lea, who had been teaching Zachary for the past week, laughed, and said,

"Every day there's always a series of surprises."

I looked at Zachary swinging the spear with the commander.

I don't know why I feel upset, but I try to think positively.

'I have two of the four best knights in my house.'

Isaac and Zachary.

As a joke, they said that if the four best knights were to gather, half of the imperial power would be helpless.

'I will work hard to develop and use Zachary.'

I made a decision.

To become the best knight, it seemed like it would take years to raise him properly.

So I asked Seria to make a deal with the mercenaries. Danju is a mercenary who runs errands in my past life as a beggar.

'First of all, I have to raise him.'

The more money, the better, and there is a need for funds that can be used secretly.

'And until I grow up, there will be plenty of time left before I can take over, so I have to get along well with my family.'

Having decided not to build a wall for the people of Dubbede, it turns out Dubbede is an ordinary father and brother.

Only ordinary families would want to spend time with their daughter and try to take good care of her.

'I finally have a family that doesn't hate me.'

My heart was pounding with excitement as I thought so.

I was holding my cheek when I heard a knock.

"Master is looking for you."

'Dad?'

I nodded and followed the waiter.

When I got to the room, I saw Isaac sitting on the couch, and Henry reading a book.

Henry smiled at me and said, "Good morning."

Isaac also waved. "Are you sleeping well?"

I also said, "Hi," and sat down between Henry and Isaac.

"Did the dyuke call you too?"

Isaac nodded. "Yes." Yeah."

Just then, Dad walked into the living room together with Nos. Nos carried three small boxes in his hands.

As Dad sat down, Nos placed three boxes on the table.

"Open up."

The three of us opened the box with curious looks.
