The Baby Raising A Devil's
Chapter 69

...***...

But there's no possibility. In January Risette died from childbirth. I was born on February 29th.

I know it's ridiculous, but when I look at Javelin's facial expression, or when I see dad staring at his daughter's shoes, it makes me feel a little guilty.

"If I were their daughter, I'd be so sad to see Javelin."

"……"

"It's heartbreaking to see her beloved aunt grieve because of her."

Javelin laughed at my words.

"Be careful when you return."

I smiled at him and went back to my room.

That day, we left the mansion after everyone escorted us away.

...***...

15 Days after return to Dubbede area.

"Hello, little lady."

"Do you have a good dream?"

I headed to the dressing room with the servants, after being greeted by them.

I woke up too early so I felt sleepy. Dahlia, Linda, and Yuni recorded me rubbing my eyes. They exclaimed,

"Imut—!"

Other than petting me, their hobby now is to share my videos with magic tools.

It feels awkward and embarrassing because I just got here a few weeks ago, but I'm getting used to it.

But…

'Huh?'

I was surprised to see so many servants in the dressing room.

"Today there are more servants than usual."

As I grabbed onto Lea's sleeves, the three maids replied with wide smiles.

"Because today is a special day."

"Yes, it's a special day."

"Little miss's first tea party!"

Ah right. Today is the first time I have met children my age.

Dad's having a tea party as promised.

So far, I've only met Dubbede's men and high-ranking followers in the castle.

Lea who sat me in the chair, asked while combing my hair.

"Are you excited?"

"... I'm a little excited.”

To be honest, I was a little excited because this was the first time I had a tea party.

As I blushed, I heard a recording sound from the magic tools around me and the servants exclaimed.

"Fuck!"

"She's so beautiful today!"

I shook my head.

I wore a dress from Melvin, as well as the ribbon and shoes Seria gave me.

"You're so pretty today."

"I know!"

Dressed in a red dress with my family pattern, I looked at myself in the mirror from top to bottom with my hands on my waist.

The servants laughed.

After I finished getting ready, I checked the party preparations and the dishes.

It's time for the tea party to start.

When I stepped into the park, the park was very crowded.

There were a lot of cute little girls wearing big hats and handsome little men with big robes.

"I heard there was news of grief in your house yesterday. I'm so sorry."

"Yes, I was sleeping at the time and crushed Rotten, a brave beetle, and destroyed it."

"Oh my God…"

Children pretend to be gentle which imitates the company of adults.

'Mut!'

This was the first time I had seen a friend my age, so my heart was pounding.

Entering excitedly, the employee guarding the party instantly bowed.

Then the children got up one by one and greeted me.

"I greet young miss Dubbede."

"I greet young miss Dubbede."

I also greeted them by lowering my head by about ten degrees.

Nos, who taught me the etiquette of manners, raised his thumb in a corner of the park.

"It's nice to meet you all, I'm Leblaine Risette Dubbede."

After introducing myself, I gestured for them to sit down.

'How about this?'

When I looked at Nos, he smiled and gave me another thumb.

I laughed in my heart.

The chair I was sitting in the middle.

This is the place to receive guests from high-ranking families.

‘The seat is empty... Where's she?"

I tilted my head, but the other children quickly spoke to me and started a conversation.

"Thank you for the invitation. Viscount Myshank is my father."

"Viscount Neschel is my grandfather."

"I'm the youngest son of Baron Kruola."

They introduced themselves to me.

"Who's your name?" I asked the silent girl.

"Dad?"

'Dad... Cute.'

I was happy to see these little and cute kids after seeing those scary-looking people in the castle at all times.

The son of Myshank, the eldest of the children at the table, said,

"Myshank. I'm 12 years old."

‘Ah, the same age as Isaac.’

Killian, who introduced herself, blushed as I smiled brightly at her.

"Ah... Viscount Myshank's eldest son."

I felt a bit embarrassed because a lot of eyes were on me.

Unlike Isaac, who yesterday defeated the wolf monster from the mountain, I think he is very sweet.

As I smiled, the children who were looking at me and Killian, quickly said,

"I'm Sophie Neschel!"

"Max Kruola!" The child at the other table quickly interrupted and introduced himself.

It was not a polite act.

But I don't care about that, they're kids.

"Ah, you're the grandson of Viscount Neschel. I hear you play the piano really well?"

I treat every child well.

The faces of the children at the party look happy.

But then, then,

"Huh? I'm asking you!"

From the entrance, a sudden scream was heard.

He was a very tall and skinny boy, I could only see his back.

"Ha... She again…"

The children said as if they already knew him in a gloomy voice.

"Who?"

When asked, Killian replied,

"He always comes to parties uninvited. "

"Before, when you hadn't come, he said that Dubblede's children were just rude fools. He's outrageous…"

I looked at the children who were feeling restless and then stood up.

I'm heading to that place. Kids follow.

The girl with him, almost crying.

The girl was as sweet as a doll with black hair like ebony and beautiful green eyes.

"Ti, no, I was just surprised when you suddenly touched my face…."

Touching face?

The girl looks at least 14 years old, and the male looks about 15 years old.

He was old enough to know that it was rude to touch a woman's face.

I stepped between the two and hid the girl behind me.

"Who are you!"

"Count Pegnac's second son, thank you for asking."

The boy was Billy Pegnac.

He's a pervert who stroked my back in the past. I met him in my second life.

He was close friends with Duke Vallua's eldest son.

Count pegnac was a prestigious person, and his elder brother was a high-level priest, so Vallua's son, who considered his status high, often hung out with him.

Every time he came to Vallua, the man would look at my body with a lewd look.

In the end, at the age of 17, he was arrested by guards for raping the only daughter of the Viscount, but he was released on drunken grounds.

"... Are you Little Miss?”

When he saw the ring stamp on my finger, he pretended to cough.

"I'm Billy Pegnac. Sorry I made a fuss."

"Yes, you made a fuss at my first party."

"That's. Yeah, I'm sorry."

"I think you're apologizing to the wrong person."

"I'm sorry?"

I held the hand of the crying girl and looked towards the children as I said,

"You must apologize to my guest."

"I just need to apologize to you, why should I….!"

"They are the children of Dubbede's followers."

The kids look at me with sparkling eyes.

Billy frowned and said,

"No want! Why would I do that! You're not Dubblede's real daughter anyway."

"What?"

"really so. You're adopted."

The employees who saw us, hardened when they heard, "You're an orphan." What the boy said.

The faces of the old man peering into the garden also turned cold. And the girl holding my hand flinched.

"You're right..."

When I said that in a low voice, Billy seemed happy to think that he had won.

I slowly took off the glove I was wearing and threw it in front of him.

Billy gulped his saliva after seeing me throw white gloves, which meant asking for a duel.

"You must have read a lot of novels. Only in fiction can a girl defeat a man."

"really?"

"Don't embarrass yourself just because of your arrogance."

Billy grinned.

"I'll keep my dignity, so let's go."

"God. I can't speak."

"Hurry up before I make an official protest against the Pegnacs."

"…...!"

Then Billy's face turned pale.

He did not get an official invitation to come here, if he got an official protest after making a fuss, it would be a difficult affair even with the help of his great father.

"... You wouldn't do it if I won, would you?"

"Yes." Yeah."

I said while shrugging my shoulders.

I stood next to the door and said, "Let's go," Billy clicked his tongue and stepped out first.

It's ridiculous for a man to compete with a woman, but since he heard about my plans to give an official protest, he agreed.

Besides, she felt lucky that I was an orphan, so she wanted to defeat a girl who was adopted by Dubbede in my neighborhood.

I walked away from the tea party area and faced Billy.

He lifted the wooden sword from my servant and opened his mouth.

"May I attack first?"

"Please."

Billy laughed and ran quickly to narrow the distance between me and him.1

But he can't get near me.

When our distance was less than 3 meters, he was blocked by a barrier.

And in an instant a fireball surrounded him.

"Tu, tu, wait…. Wait!"

As he shouted, the fireball turned into a lion and swallowed it.

"Aghh—!"

Billy sat down and closed his eyes with both hands.

His pants become moist.

I smiled and said,

"You surprised?"
