The Baby Raising A Devil's
Chapter 70

...***...

Billy shuddered and looked at his body. He had some burns, but not fatal ones.

"There is no spell... How can..."

Magicians and priests need time to chant spells to cast magic.

Everyone knows that I have holy power. The reason why Billy rushed up to me was probably because he thought I wasn't done chanting.

So, when I'm not ready, he'll destroy me.

In fact, most cases where a witch or priest died by a knight for not enough time to cast a spell.

As Billy trembled, I continued the attack.

The branches of the garden tree protruded from the ground and charged at him, hitting his buttocks and slapping his cheeks.

"Aagghh—!"

Shocked, Billy runs out of the park in a hurry.

I raised my eyebrows and folded my hands.

‘Yes, go and tell everyone that I have a strong power."

That way, many people who have extraordinary powers will be attracted to me.

I will be closer to those in power step by step.

"Wow."

The children who poked their faces out of the bushes cried out.

"It's incredible…"

"He's very strong…"

I saw them.

'I feel guilty for the kids.'

Rather than following the useless social world custom that the host showed up most recently, if I had come early and checked the party in person, I could have kicked Billy out sooner.

If I did, they wouldn't have had an unpleasant experience because of Billy.

Besides, I feel really sorry for the girl who cried because of Billy.

I approached.

"Are you okay?"

"…..."

He looked at me blankly.

Only after I stretched out my hand did he come to his senses and blushed.

"Sa, I'm fine…."

I was a little surprised to hear his voice trembling.

I looked at the girl with a worried face.

"Do you want to rest inside?"

"Lake in, inside? Miss's room?"

"Yes." Yeah."

The girl's face became bright.

I asked Nos to clean up the party mess and I took the girl to my room.

He put his hands on his chest and looked around my room.

"Wow…"

I gave her the warm chamomile tea that Lea brought.

"It will calm you down a little bit. Oh come to think of it, I don't know your name yet"

"Veronic! My name is Veronica!"

I was shocked when he suddenly grabbed the table, got up and shouted.

As I blinked, Veronica sat back on the sofa.

"Viscount Dubos is..."

Since Dubos has only two sons, and the two are unmarried, it is possible that he is their relative.

"My nephew."

As I expected so I nodded.

"Ah, so Miss Veronica is Viscount Dubos' niece…."

"No, no."

He waved his hand quickly.

"Viscount Dubos is my nephew."

".... Pardon?"

"I am the head of the Dubos family."

He's his nephew but he's also the head of the family?

The head of the Dubos family was indeed a woman. However, his nickname was the witch from the west, he defeated many monsters along with his ancestors.

"I heard that the owner of the Dubos family is an 80-year-old woman."

"Yes! I will be 87 years old this year."

Veronica blushed and muttered.

"I wondered if I should tear the child's limbs or remove the intestines first. But little lady stopped me."

"……"

"Thank God I didn't kill a child at this age."

I gulped when I saw him thank me with a timid face.

‘Easy chair at tea party... Apparently he's..."

She is a relative of Viscount Dubos, she should be at the middle table with me.

He said, "Oh, right!" and took out some magic devices.

"I brought a magic device and recorded you with this!"

He recorded me with a magic stone?

No, more than that, why did he record it?

That was the scene when I dueled Billy.

"Everybody's afraid of me, so I think you are too, but you're not."

I gulped when I saw Veronica holding my hand happily.

...***...

After tea and dinner.

Henry asked me, who had finished bathing and was wearing pajamas.

"Veronica came to your party?"

I nodded while drinking water.

"Yes. You know Veronica?"

Henry said as he dried my hair with a towel,

"He's the one who made an opportunity for us to ally with the magic tower."

"When he was young, he failed one of his experiments, and since then he has never grown."

"The old must be envious."

"It's not like that."

Isaac said, leaning against the sofa.

"People are afraid of something different. In Dubbede, there are people who treat me well, but if I show up somewhere else, they will treat me like a monster and run away."

That's why he's so happy because I'm being friendly.

"I heard that Pegnac's second son made a noise at your party."

"What?!"

Isaac jumped to his feet.

"Why are you telling me now!"

"Leblaine has taken care of it, so shut up and sit quietly."

Henry grabbed the nail clippers with a calm expression.

He's gonna cut my nails.

"This time it's my turn."

Father, who was sitting with us, looked at Henry.

Henry who tried to cut my nails secretly clicked his tongue without making a sound.

They were scrambling to cut off my nails, so we decided on a queue sequence a few years ago. Lea, Isaac, Henry, and my father.

"Didn't you take my turn last year?"

Back then, Henry and Isaac were at school, and they were looking forward to cutting my nails during the holidays.

But as soon as my nails grew long, Dad cut them off. So no nails could be cut off when they returned to the castle.

Henry could not accept it. That's why he studied like a madman and earned his diploma that year.

"No need to bring up what's passed."

Father spoke firmly, hugged me and sat down beside me. Then he grabbed my hand and gently lifted the nail clippers.

Lea was very good at cutting my nails, but I didn't know what to say every time I saw my dad tremble while cutting my nails for fear of getting me hurt.

"Dad also took my turn last time."

As Isaac protested, another nail-cutting drama took place.

'This again ...!'

I looked around in panic. The servants gulped down dry saliva and wished their master a winner.

Because the servants on the losing side would suffer for days because of their master's bad mood.

Each of the servants looked at me crying and I sighed and put my hands on my knees.

"If you guys keep fighting, I won't let anyone cut it."

As I spoke, the three of them covered their mouths with shocked faces.

"We're not fighting!"

"That's right, Leblaine."

"Let's be fair today. Let Leblaine decide."

I narrowed my eyes and said,

"Thank you?"

The three quickly nodded.

"OKAY. So today, Dad cuts off the right index finger nail, middle finger nail, and ring finger nail, and Henry cuts the left index finger nail, middle finger nail, and ring finger nail. The rest is for Isaac."

And soon, they calmly cut my nails.

...***...

Back then, at Pegnac's mansion, Billy grumbled at his father.

"That crazy girl really tried to kill me!"

"You've said the same thing a few times."

"Dad just gonna shut up? I almost died! The orphan….!"

Count Pegnac sighed.

He was also angry that his son was humiliated in front of many people.

But what can he do for a child whose rumors are so special to Duke Dubbede?

Since the last meeting, since the incident of 'my daughter is the cutest in the world', people decided not to touch Leblaine carelessly.

He daydreamed, holding a walnut egg in his hand.

At that moment, the Countess, who was carrying tea and food, smiled.

"What are you so worried about?"

"He competed with a girl and lost, how many people would underestimate him later..."

"I think it's so sweet."

"What?"

"Do you think a child of destiny went to protect the child he saw first?"

As he smiled and spoke, the count asked,

"Is there another reason?"

"Sometimes children show interest in different ways. Isn't my son very handsome?"

Billy opened his eyes wide at his mother's words.

Come to think of it, it's true as well.

It was strange that he did that for a girl he had nothing to do with.

'Is he jealous because I showed interest in another girl?'

Count Pegnac looked at his son.

"Well... He looked at me with sparkling eyes.”

"Thank you?"

"Yes, he interrupted me while I was talking to another girl."

"Huh. He must be interested in you…"

Count Pegnac said as he rubbed his chin.

He thought it would greatly benefit the Pegnac Family.

Even though she was adopted, she was still the daughter of a noble.

She's not bad at being a daughter-in-law.

If he took control of the Dubbede family by using the girl, the Pegnac family would be a very powerful family.

"Billy, go and see the girl again."

"What?! Nah! Why do I have to see that bitch again!"

"Don't be silly. In terms of marriage, Dubbede's strength is the best."

"I don't want to marry a rough girl!"

"You can get another wife after you marry her."
