The Baby Raising A Devil's
Chapter 62

...***...

At the same time, at the top of Hope.

Seria, who disguised herself as an old grandmother with the help of a witch, was checking the cash book.

The man who approached her lowered his tired voice.

"Luminous medicinal stock is running out."

Curtis, his acquaintance, who sent a gift of Seria's arrest to the Dubblede greenhouse 5 years ago.

"I've told the witches to quickly bring the luminous flower. I'll distill it as soon as it arrives."

"Yes. Oh, and there's a message from investors saying to keep the doctors under control."

He handed the letter from Leblaine to Seria.

The letter reads [The doctors should be careful not to prioritize making money, and from now on, sell fewer drugs than usual].

Curtis, who examined the letter along with him, said,

"Why did he suddenly ask us to reduce sales? The cure is getting popular, we'll be able to make a lot of money if we increase the distribution."

"All I know, investors will never give stupid orders."

Curtis sank for a moment in his mind and nodded.

He didn't know anything about the Hope's peak, but he only knew that investors were extraordinary people.

As if he had known in advance what was to come, such as catastrophic floods and famines, his words were able to avoid danger and gain immense wealth.

'He has incredible intuition."

Given that the Hope's peak had land reclaimed spinel even before it was traded. That's a very big capital.

Then he must be a noble, but he knew how to understand the feelings of the workers at the top of Hope. He never treated his workers badly.

Loyalty of the workers increased day by day because of higher wages and welfare compared to other places, and those who wanted to work there were also very many.

There are even people who make the Hope's top investor fan club and its members are numerous.

"Oh, did you find anyone that investors want to find out about?"

"There are some people I'm guessing, but it's hard to be sure because I'm not sure."

"Find them by all means. We can't disappoint investors."

Seria, the chairman of the fan club, threatened the man.

Banquet day.

After I finished putting myself in makeup, I went down the stairs.

And as soon as I saw my father and brother waiting under the stairs, I called out, "Wow!"

The three men who were wearing formal clothes were stunning and dazzling.

Dubbede's symbol, brilliant silver hair and clear and sharp light blue eyes, as if symbolizing winter.

Not only their appearance, but also their tall and slender bodies, so they fit in with whatever clothes they wear.

Moreover, they were equipped with special and luxurious robes, which made them even more amazing.

"How handsome!"

As I made a sound, they gently patted my cheeks and laughed.

"You're also very pretty."

I'm not used to that compliment.

In the last three lives, my face was broken due to the difficulties of life. No one thought I was beautiful.

A thin body with protruding bones, a mottled face, and a cropped hairstyle carelessly to save on beauty costs.

I wouldn't look beautiful even if I tried to take care of myself.

Anyway, in this life, I got intensive care from Dubbede's waitress. And it was definitely different from my previous life.

My body was filled and the protruding bones disappeared, my face was smooth without any blemishes, and my curly hair was not tangled at all.

In addition, Melvin made a cute lace ribbon dress with all her soul.

In the mirror, I look like a pretty little girl who grew up in a rich house.

'This is a miracle of money.'

I laughed thinking about that.

"We're leaving now?"

Henry asked and I nodded.

We went to the banquet in a horse-drawn carriage. It was the hall of the Imperial Palace where the three main festivals of the Empire were held.

At the door of the hall, the voice of the maid announcing our presence echoed.

People's eyes turned towards us.

My previous life, I once attended a banquet with the Duke. And this always makes me tense.

'here…'

I held my hand filled with cold sweat.

Duke Amity and Duke Vallua did not attend the banquet this year.

Duke Amity did not often attend parties like Duke Dubbede, and Duke Vallua had to take care of his flooded territory.

I know, but my throat was suffocating for fear of meeting them. The trauma was so intense that I felt tense that I had never felt before.

'Relax. Today's destination is the empress.'

I'll be home after I meet the Empress.

My father and brother were surrounded by people.

Dad looked as bored as ever, Henry talked to people with a smile, and Isaac looked extremely annoyed.

'I should have mixed up too...'

At times like this, people usually get together with children their age through the introduction of their mother, and I just realized that I don't have a mother.

Just then, a loud voice from the servant sounded.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother entered the room!"

People immediately back off.

Henry pulled my arm a little so I wouldn't get swept away.

"We greet the Imperial mother." People pay their respects to him.

"Thank you for coming to my party."

Those who saw the Empress Dowager smiling looked at each other with bewildered expressions on their faces.

'Today right...'

Technically, the Queen Mother was hosting the festival, but this was an imperial event.

Not the Queen Mother's party.

'The emperor will beat his forehead if he hears it.'

"Oh, son of destiny."

As the Suri Mother's eyes looked at me, everyone also noticed me.

"Cabin."

Henry nodded slightly at me. I carefully walked among those who gave way.

"I greet the imperial mother."

I saluted while lifting up a little skirt and then looked at the Queen Mother.

...***...

The Queen Mother held my hand in a friendly manner.

"Oh my God, you're growing so fast."

I often see the Queen Mother in my past life. But in this life, she hasn't seen me since I was adopted, because of Dubbede's strong refusal and strict escort.

"The girl who will be the savior of the kingdom cannot be found until she grows up, How can I raise my head to God when I die?"

People looked at each other with troubled faces again.

It is not right for the royal family to speak of God in public.

The kingdom is not a sacred land ruled by the Pope. Although the Neriad is the state religion, citizens are not obliged to adopt it. However, if the royal family came forward and supported the church, it would be no different from forcing the citizens to embrace the religion.

Moreover, the words of the Queen Mother just now seemed to imply a sign for Duke Dubbede.

‘Yes, the King will grip his neck instead of hitting his forehead.’

I hid my laughter.

"From a long time ago, I wanted to see the Queen Mother because I don't remember you too much. I'm looking forward to meeting you, and you look better than I imagined!"

I intentionally said it childishly. I didn't say that to flatter him.

The Queen Mother smiled brighter.

"You're so much fun. I was worried because you grew up in Dubbede, but that's useless thinking."

"Yes-Yes Your Majesty."

The waiter anxiously called out to him. But the Queen Mother did not even listen.

"Let's sit next to me. Tell me how you are."

The short-legged chair had been placed next to the Queen Mother's chair.

I sat next to him and told him many stories.

"So, I heard Duke Constance was having an affair."

"Really, the kids of today are amazing."

The Queen Mother slowly held her cheek and shook her head.

Even so my words were very interesting to him. The proof, her cheeks were reddened and she gasped.

No one told him about the rumors circulating around the palace. So how interesting is my story to him who lives in this boring place?

‘I purposely asked Laura about that rumor.’

Mina said something in my first life.

There is something called 'morning drama' in his world that consists of unthinkable stories. There was no adult who did not like the drama that morning.

"A woman experiences stomach pain while worshiping. She really wanted to go to the bathroom, but she couldn't go. So he farts when the choir starts singing. And someone said 'trumpet players played really hard today'."

"Ohohohoh!" Empress laughs.

I don't really know why the story was so funny to him, maybe to him it's funny because he's never heard of this kind of story.

"Always difficult because of his old worship. Older people like me sometimes suffer."

Well, it was a sympathetic laugh.

"I love talking to you, it's been a long time since I've had a good time."

The empress looked so happy that people were shocked.

The empress is a stubborn person and rarely shows kindness to anyone.

"Other times, please come to the palace."

‘She ate my feed.’

I purposely told him this.

"But when I come to your place, there will be a priest, so my father will be troubled."

Everyone in the country knows that the relationship between Dubbede and the church is bad. The Queen knew it too.

Understanding what I meant, he nodded.

"When you come, I won't call the priest."

"really? Waw! I want to go to your palace."

When I definitely knew how much of her skin disease had been cured, I could control the empress to leave the church.

I hid my true motives and smiled brightly. Then the Queen Mother said, "Jeez."

"Wait a minute. It's time for me to take my medicine."

When he told the waiter, the waiter took out a small bottle of medicine.

Even in the first life, and in the second life, the empress was always healthy. There is nothing wrong except skin disease.

But he took medicine?

"Your Majesty, are you sick? I didn't know that you were taking the medicine."

When I forced my eyebrows down and asked, the empress laughed.

"Don't worry. It's a cure for youth. That's a rather embarrassing name."

What are you talking about?

I never sold that much medicine at once.

"I know. I was told that Grandpa went there. I heard they sold it at the top of hope."

When I pretended not to know, the Queen Mother took the bait.

"Not from the top of Hope. This is a new drug developed by the church."

"Can I see it?"

"How can I refuse the request of a girl who will become a hero of the kingdom?"

The Queen Mother seemed to like me, so she gave me a bottle of medicine.

I smelled it and checked the color.

‘This is not a new medicine from the church. It's my medicine.’

In other words, the church stole my prescription.
