The Baby Raising A Devil's
Chapter 59

...***...

Dad laughed a little too.

"Blaine."

"Yes?"

"Next week we will go to the banquet. You'll stay here with Dubos and the Chairman."

"Can I come too?"

When I asked, Isaac, who had been laughing, immediately shouted, "No!"

"Sir, do you know how annoying that noble party is?"

I-i know.

I nodded inwardly, but blinked as if I didn't know.

"The Church and the Queen Mother will be waiting for you, and once you enter, they will chase you and take you to the central church."

"Yes, Leblaine. Don't come along." Even Henry said so.

‘But I will separate the church from the empress.’

I can't stay like this forever.

Dubbede is a powerful family, and if they get dragged into my future misfortune, in a worst-case scenario they will be wiped out.

I have to build strength.

I must be a strong woman, and not be affected by the imperial palace and the church anymore.

‘It's been 5 years I prepared for it.’

I'm ready to get out.

I got up from the chair and ran towards my father.

"So, I'll be separated from my father and brother?"

"What?"

"I know everything. I heard the followers and servants talking. Since the first time I was here I didn't follow social gatherings at all."

"…."

"Because of Dad, I never left the house. If I continue like this, I will be expelled from society. That would be bad for Dubbede."

Lt's true.

That was also the part that worried me the most.

"I want to go to the banquet with my father."

"You really..." He said, defending me who was pouting.

"I'm so worried about being useless."

"........"

"alright. You can attend the banquet."

"I'm happy!"

I quickly hugged my father

...***...

The imperial palace garden.

The old ladies attending the tea party of Queen Mother Marcia Louerg exchanged greetings.

"You look better now."

"I guess because I was invited by the Queen Mother after such a long time."

"Your Majesty, please contact us as often as possible. I'm so sad because the winter party was canceled."

The Queen Mother smiled, holding a teacup.

"I know how you feel. But I can't do it because I can't stand it getting cold."

"Your Majesty is weak against the cold weather. Even in his youth, the noble had a difficult time in the winter."

"At this age, winter gets colder every year."

In that friendly atmosphere, the empress rolled up her handkerchief.

He could not endure the itching due to the rash of skin diseases.

The rash will improve by spring.

But in the middle of winter, a rash appeared on her knees up to her face, so she had to lock herself in the room.

The pastor told him in sorrow. "More faithful. Our Lord will surely give mercy to His Majesty."

‘How much more loyalty should I give?"

The empress sighed, stressing the handkerchief to the corner of her mouth.

"But you look better than ever."

"Maybe because my arthritis is improving."

"I heard you have a new doctor. Is he that good? Please introduce me."

"It's not because of doctors, it's because of drugs."

He laughed as he spoke, the women at the table looked at him.

"You mean the drugs that make us younger then?"

"Ah, you know that too?"

"Of course, this is a hot topic. I had told a waiter to buy it, but the merchant would not sell it unless I came there myself. Traders are so arrogant these days."

"Don't be like that and go there. The drug really worked. My husband suffered from toothache all his life and it was effective."

Then the other women nodded their heads.

"The drug also works on my brother, it is also effective for the skin..."

The Queen Mother's eyes widened after hearing the woman's words.

"Is it effective even for skin diseases?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. My sister had been suffering from scaly skin on her lower abdomen for a few years, and it was itchy, but after taking the medicine, her skin came back to what it used to be."

The symptoms are similar to his skin disease.

‘Maybe it will work for me too...'

"Where do they sell it?"

Ask the Queen Mother.

...***...

Before the banquet, my family left the castle.

"Don't worry about the castle and hope your trip is fun."

While Dubos was talking to dad, the chairman approached me.

"Always bring your communication devices with you at all times."

"Yes and the chairman should eat regularly." I frowned and said so, chief coughed.

"Eat regularly, okay?

"…Yes."

Ever since his wife and son died, the chairman repeatedly skipped meals because no one was taking care of him.

"So... You won't tell them about your past?"

Hearing the chief's words, I glanced at Father and the two brothers.

"Put more blankets. If my daughter gets the flu, one or two heads will break at once."

"Are you kidding me? Put more pillows, pillows!"

The chairman, who was looking at the family with dim eyes, nodded.

"If they knew your past, it would be a disaster."

As I imagined my father and brother burning down the church, my whole body trembled.

"If we go to war with the church, everyone in Dubbede will die—"

"Then you must remain silent."

I'm nodding.

We boarded a horse-drawn carriage, which was seen by the employees who escorted us away.

...***...

It took us two days to get to the capital.

It was very fast, considering that it took me ten days when I first came to Dubbede on the Imperial train.

Get off the train, I open my mouth wide.

The endless garden

A well-maintained garden.

The mansion is the largest and grandest building I have ever seen.

Three buildings were connected to each other, which was almost as high as the sky.

Countless maids bowed in two rows on the road to the mansion.

"Welcome, sir."

"Welcome, sir."

Surprised by the loud voices of the servants, I hugged my father's arm.

Just then, a man in a cotton suit, with neatly combed hair appeared among the servants.

"I say hello to little miss Dubbede."

As I hid behind my father's arm, he smiled.

"My name is Headerson. It's an honor to meet you."

"My name is Leblaine…"

"You're prettier than I imagined. Everyone in the mansion is looking forward to your arrival."

Dad hugged me and asked her, "Where's Javelin?"

Javelin's a stepbrother of my father, and he's my aunt.

One of the two survivors of a sword fight between Dubbede's brothers in the past.

He is now in charge of the Dubbede branch house.

"He went to the party."

"If my aunt goes to the party, she'll be back in about four days."

As Isaac spoke cynically, Headerson smiled.

We entered the mansion together. The inside is more beautiful than its appearance.

My father and two brothers went straight to the library and their room to work, I followed Headerson to see my room.

"Little Miss, your room is here."

'Excellent!'

Although not as big as my room in the castle. But this room has a kitchen, dressing room, bedroom, study room, and bathroom that are all very luxurious.

It was more like a room for a girl than a room for a guest.

I ran quickly to the sofa and hugged the pillow.

Lea, who came with me, smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"

"Sa~."

"Thank God."

"But Lea, your clothes are different today."

He usually wears a maid uniform, but today he wears an armor and a black robe that symbolizes Dubbede.

"When you're here, I'll be your bodyguard."

"Wow!"

"Are you happy?"

"Lea is so cool…"

As Lea and I were talking, the butler brought someone along.

She is an attractive girl with bright red hair, green eyes, and spots on her nose. He looks to be about fifteen years old.

"My name is Laura, I've been assigned to be your servant."

He was a bright and bright boy. Lea whispered to me, "He's Linda's cousin."

'Aha.'

Other employees came to greet me.

After receiving greetings from 50 people, from the waiter to the chef, I asked the most important question.

"So, what was your crime before?"

...***...

Everyone stood in front of Theodore Dubbede, who returned to the mansion after five years.

Either because he had been on the battlefield for almost a year, or because he was in his mid-30s, Theodore looked older.

The two brothers, who stood on both sides, had grown. As they get older, the more they look like their father, and their eyes get scarier.

The duke glanced towards the countless knights who were kneeling, as well as the secretary and manager-level employees standing beside them.

The attendant who was limp by that cold gaze, gulped down dry saliva.

The Duke called everyone as soon as he arrived. From Irie who protects the mansion and Ambu (Department of Information), the pride of Dubbede.

Seeing that all these personnel were gathered together, it seemed that this work was very important.

Will there be any battles with other families?

Or did the Senate create another problem?

Finally the Duke opened his mouth.

"If Leblaine's nail breaks, it's all of you're wrong."

The eyes of those who did not understand his words widened.

A password?

Some idiom?

'What does that mean?'

As they were perplexed, the two brothers said at the Duke's side.

"It's your fault that Leblaine can't sleep well."

"If one strand of her hair is broken, don't think of dying quietly."

… What?

The officers, staring at Duke and the two brothers on the podium with dumb eyes.

Duke's low voice fell into the ears of the people who made a puzzled expression on their faces.

"I will deploy the entire team to escort Leblaine. As soon as a boy approaches him, identify who he is."
