The Baby Raising A Devil's
Chapter 60

...***...

"Sam, the butler, is a drug dealer. Jane who served in the laundry room was a famous thief. He had even robbed a stamp ring from some countess."

I remember what Laura said in my head.

"Then what about Laura?”

"I don't have a criminal record yet!”

"You have any intention of doing it?"

"I've never done it, but... Sometimes I feel like slitting people's throats, I think it's going to be a lot of fun." Laura smiled shyly.

"Laura, watch your words in front of little lady."

As Lea rebuked her, Laura said, "Oh, right!" and cover his mouth.

"I'm sorry! I don't have a criminal record, but I was born in prison and spoke a little harshly."

"You were born in prison?"

"Yes. My mother was a sect leader. She found out that she was pregnant in prison. So she gave birth to me in prison, I lived with my mother until I was three years old. And my aunt took me when I was four."

This made it difficult for Laura to find a job.

Although he managed to get a job, he was soon caught, so he often moved from one noble family to another.

"I know all the employees. I even know the rumors about the five dukes and count. I'm probably the fastest to know the rumors about nobles!"

As I watched Laura speak proudly, my eyes lit up.

"Then tell me. Have there been any rumors lately?"

"The most interesting is the story of Sir Constance. He's having an affair with his future in-laws!"

Huh uh?!

Everyone looked surprised.

What kind of chaos is that?

This is not what I wanted to know, but it's an interesting story that made me forget my original purpose.

"In addition, are there other interesting rumors?"

"The story of Lord Lane is also interesting. Lady Roabang really liked him because he was such an amazing man. To be able to see him, he canceled his own tea party..."

"The other one."

"The other thing is... Despite opposition from followers and their parents, Count Mollywood married an opera singer, and the opera singer turned out to be a man. More surprisingly, he only found out after the first night."

Then the servants, subconsciously, shouted, "Oh, how is it possible!"

Laura said seriously, crossing her arms around her chest.

"The place where they spent the first night was a dark opera house with no light in it."

The servants shut their mouths and shouted without a sound.

I listened to Laura's story.

At that moment, there was something shaking in my pocket.

'Communication tools.'

This is a very expensive magic tool that I recently bought.

The price was very expensive, even I felt like crying when I paid for it.

I not only bought one, but also bought it for Seria and the chairman.

The three of us don't use it unless it's really important.

As I silently looked into my pocket, it was the code from Seria.

[He took his bait.]

The empress finally bought the Luminous medicine.

I patted my pocket and went back to Laura's story.

...***...

Adolf, one of the 21 pastors in charge of the central church, faces the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother."

"Sit down."

The empress greeted him with a friendly smile as usual.

Adolf, who was standing, sat on a chair and observed his face.

'That old fucking granny.'

Outside he looked like a meek lamb, but Adolf knew how greedy the woman was.

Five years ago, Adolf, who went to prison to pray for fugitive criminals to be sentenced to death, returned with a pale face.

“I found the original copy of the Bible.”

“What are you talking about? I've been looking for him for a long time, but I haven't even gotten a clue.”

“The fugitive criminal knows where the original Bible is. It's in the Queen Mother's secret library."

“No way... If the Queen Mother finds it, she will give it to us.”

“When I went to the place where fugitive criminals told me, the Queen Mother warriors guarded the place. We can be sure there is a library that we do not know.”

The words of the criminal are trustworthy.

In order to test whether or not the woman had spoken, when she mentioned the secret library, the Queen Mother immediately moved the library.

Upon inspection, it was confirmed that the workers were excavating an old plateau under the orders of the Queen Mother seven years ago.

'You pretend to believe the church, but you're playing tricks behind us to steal the Bible?'

The Queen Mother knew best that the church was looking for the original scriptures from the Bible.

'Somehow, I have to get it in my hands.'

With the original copy of the Bible in his hands, he was able to enter the Vatican.

So Adolf kept it a secret from the church and tried for five years to persuade the Queen Mother

The Queen Mother raised the teacup casually.

"The child of destiny will participate in this year's banquet. I wonder how she grew up in Dubbede."

Adolf replied, "Yes." with a pouting face.

On February 29th, the predicted day comes, an orphan girl is born with sacred powers and becomes a child of destiny, but the child does not attract her attention.

Fortunately, the church has increased its sacred power to the point of being able to stand on equal footing with the royal family.

According to the prophecy, the child who will save the world will come with the symbol of God.

The child's sacred power, which was re-verified, was too normal to say that he would save the world.

Even if he had increased his strength, many people in the church said that he was a fake.

"Much better. Winter is always hard, but not too painful with the arrival of spring."

"I've prepared holy water for you. You'll feel much better if you shower with it."

"Oh thank you."

Looking at the smiling Queen Mother, Adolf said in a soft voice.

"By the way, Your Honor. The library you wanted to show me the other day…"

"In hindsight, I'm ashamed to show you. Because I don't have a very valuable ancient book."

Adolf's eyes sharpened.

'Basic old grandma!'

As her skin condition worsened, she acted like she would do anything if she could get treatment for her skin and would keep her mouth shut.

Adolf said with an awkward smile.

"If I read your book, I might find something that could help treat your illness."

"Oh, right. You don't have to come and help me with my treatment from now on."

"….Pardon?"

"I found a good cure."

"Medicine?"

"They say it's medicine to make us younger."

The empress placed the medicine bottle on the table and said, "It's a trick of the trade, but it's effective. My skin is much less itchy than using other drugs."

The priest's expression changed. It was the medicine he saw in church. The drug had reduced the number of nobles requesting treatment.

Therefore, the number of donations is decreasing, making it difficult to report to superiors.

'Is it from the top of Hope?'

Five years ago, when he tried to suppress Dubbede with a spinel, the Hope's peak that appeared out of nowhere messed up his plans.

Not only that, it also makes the price of spinel trading very low, dropping the value of the church's Spinel mine.

In the end, they were forced to sell a useless spinel mine, and now the Hope's peak almost monopolizes the spinel trade.

Adolf clenched his fists.

...***...

Before the banquet, I went out to the shopping district with my two brothers to buy a dress.

Since this was the busiest road in the Empire, it was very crowded even though it was a working day.

"We have to walk while holding hands." Isaac said holding my hand tightly.

"Yes, you will be swept away by the crowd." Henry also held my other hand.

I said, "Yes!" And hold tightly to their hands.

‘This place is close to the church, so I can't get away from them both.’

I made up my mind and walked with passion. Fortunately, the clothing store was very close, so we were able to get there without any problems even though there were a lot of people.

Entering the store, an employee and a long-haired man who seemed to be the owner of this store rushed over to us.

"My name is Melvin. Welcome to Melvin's clothing store."

The man, whose face was shiny with oil, rubbed his hands and said so.

'Melvin?'

Melvin is a great designer. The dresses were so expensive that it was difficult to buy unless they were high nobles.

So the wives of most noble families wore Melvin dresses for many years.

"The Duke's children are so enchanting today."

Hearing Melvin's words, Henry and Isaac sat down on the sofa not caring about his words.

"I finally found a design suitable for nobles. It was embroidered with silver thread on a clean white cloth, and a suit of two buttons…

"Don't mind my clothes, find a dress for my sister."

Only then did Melvin look at me.

"He's a tak— boy"

"Miss Dubblede."

As Isaac frowned and corrected him, the surprised Melvin nodded, saying, "Oh, yes."

"My shop also has a lot of nice clothes that fit the little lady. Alia!"

As he called out to his employees by clapping his hands, the green-clothed employee approached.

"Miss Dubblede, we'll show you our clothes."

When he came smiling, he took me to the hanger.

Meanwhile, Melvin clings to Henry and Isaac and babbles.

"I heard you bravely destroyed the enemy in your first battle. Melvin was deeply moved by the news...!"

She doesn't seem interested in me, who isn't Duke's real daughter.

Good rumors about me can't possibly spread to this place. First of all, since Dubbede was a very closed place, so the rumors did not circulate well, she did not know that I was truly loved like her own daughter.

"What about this dress? The lace on the chest was designed by Melvin with all his heart and soul."

They showed me a variety of dresses, but I didn't like them very much.

Seeing my disinterested reaction, the officer left saying that he would bring an unfinished design.

My eyes were round as I looked at the dress on the hanger.

‘Oh, that's the dress I want to wear in my second life.’

Dress with lace on arm.

'That's the most popular design at this time.'

The dress, hanging from Melvin's closet window, looks like a dress for a princess in a fairy tale.

Would I look like a princess if I wore it? I remember thinking like that before.

I really like the design. When I touched the dress, it,

"That!"

I heard a woman screaming.

She was a girl my age with silky black hair and yellow eyes.

"I like that one."

I blinked at the girl's words.
