The Baby Raising A Devil's
Chapter 71

...***...

Count Pegnac visited the castle to discuss new trade routes.

The port of Count Pegnac was needed for the new trade routes that father had created.

But when he arrives, he also takes the countess and Billy with him.

I met those who were in my father's arms.

"I wanted to apologize for the disturbance at the tea party, so I brought her here to apologize."

The Count and his wife put their gifts on the doorstep.

The countess bowed to me.

"I need to educate my son better, he's wrong."

Then he hit Billy's waist.

Billy lowered his head but it seemed like he did not want to apologize.

"I'm sorry."

I glanced at the followers gathered in the courtyard.

Opening new trade routes is important business for Dubbede.

In the future, Dubbede will unite traders on the basis of this trade route, and the trade union will become a messenger and source of information.

Of course, it becomes one more source of money earned from the trade route.

I didn't really want to accept Billy's apology, but I still nodded in favor of dad's business.

"If you don't mind, little lady can visit our mansion—"

When the count tried to say something, father said,

"I don't remember letting you open your mouth."

Duke's cold voice rang out, and the backs of the hundred people here froze.

Just by standing there he felt the pressure from Duke's gaze.

'Oh no, Count Pegnac is a person with high self-esteem, this way the deal will fail.'

I patted my father's shoulder.

"I want to get down."

Then the Duke dropped me off very carefully.

The count and his wife took a breath.

Those who came along with the Count were also shocked.

"Oh my God."

"Very cute…"

I tidied my father's collar.1

"I want to go to the greenhouse. Dad, work hard."

"Yes." Yeah."

She smiled and stroked my hair.

Another silent scream rang out, then I bent my knees while holding the skirt for the count and his wife.

"I'll go in first."

Both of them looked disappointed, but they couldn't hold me back. I was young and had no obligation to accompany guests.

Dubos will be the one to receive guests today.

If I grow up, I have to take over the role, but there's still time to have fun.

‘I'm not really going to have fun, but..’

Documents from Seria must be approved.

Over the past five years, I have learned how to control the peak of hope from the Chairman and Yuni, my servant who is a former loan shark.

The chairman taught very well, but Yuni was more helpful.

”A fool who likes to owe? Capturing him will not be the end. You have to scare one of them.”

"If you can't manage your taxes, everything will be over. There is no reason for you to make money and spend half of your money on taxes. Actually, it's not good to run afoul of a tax collector, but in my case…"

And next.

Yuni didn't even know that I was running the peak of hope, but whenever I asked her, she always answered with an easy to understand explanation.

'T-shirt is collection day. The day money came into my hands.'

I hummed while climbing the stairs.

Just when I want to hold the doorknob.

"Hey."

I heard Billy's voice.

"Hey?"

When I asked back, Billy came up to me and said,

"How are you?"

"I thought you came here to apologize for your disrespect back then."

"Are you upset that I'm late?"

What'd he say?

As I blinked in confusion, Billy grinned and rubbed my cheek with the back of his hand.

I didn't like it and pushed his hand.

"You're so sweet when you're nervous."

'Is he really crazy?'

"You should have told me if you liked me. Why do you use violence? I have to teach you how to seduce a man from now on."

"……"

"Listen to my advice, women should be gentle during the day, and sexy at night. That's what you have to do."

"Violence won't get my attention. Okay?"

'Did he think I hit him to get his attention?'

I laughed at him because his confidence was too high.

"Why am I seducing you?"

"Because I'm handsome…"

"You're ugly."

"I, that's ridiculous!"

I shook my head.

"i'm serious. You're really ugly. You're the ugliest person I've ever met! You look like a toilet brush, amazing!"

Billy's face flushed as I said it.

"Da, you orphan bitch!!"

I think that's all he can answer. I lost interest in him. Suddenly, I could hear the voice of someone behind me.

"You, what did you just say?"

Isaac dropped the boar he was carrying and looked at Billy.

Bam—!!

Billy, who was flying in an instant, hit the floor with a groan of pain.

Isaac approached. Billy's face turned pale due to his approaching footsteps.

"I'm asking you. What you just said."

"I, I, umm, I…."

Isaac grabbed Billy's shivering shoulder. Outside, he seemed to be gripping his shoulder lightly, but in an instant I could hear the sound of a bone crack from his shoulder.

Terrible screams echoed.

"Sister!"

I immediately pulled Isaac's shirt.

If Isaac killed a noble, he could not avoid punishment.

I don't care if that future rapist dies...!

But Isaac, who had already lost his temper, would not let go even if I called him.

I gestured to the employees and knights who ran over in surprise at the commotion.

Stop her!

Those who received my signal rushed towards Isaac with grim faces as if they were ready to die.

Normally, he'd blow up all those who were blocking him but he couldn't now because I was nearby.

As Isaac releases Billy, the count and countess are shocked to hear his son's screams.

They were also together with Viscount Dubos, who accompanied them.

"Oh my God, Billy…!"

He immediately ran to his crying son while holding his shoulder.

Count Pegnac also rushed to his son.

Billy's shoulder was completely broken. Until I wondered if it could go back to its original state.

"Ah... Argha!…"

The couple was shocked when they saw their son in pain while shedding tears and snot.

"Doctor! Call the doctor now! What are you doing!"

"What happened, how did you…!"

Billy pointed towards Isaac with his unbroken hand while trembling.  The Pegnac couple's face hardened.

"Why are you doing this!"

As the count shouted and asked, Isaac looked at them with a cold gaze.

"Shut up, I tried to kill him, but I held him back."

"What, what?"

Isaac did not explain anything else.

'Stupid!'

I know why he kept his mouth shut.

Isaac did not want to mention the word 'orphaned bitch'.

...***...

Viscount Dubos said to Count Pegnac,

"Well, it just seems like excessive children's fighting."

"Children's quarrel?!"

The countess replied angrily.

"My son is in this state, and it's just a little boy's quarrel! What kind of child does such a horrible deed!"

Count Pegnac also spoke.

"I'll file a formal complaint with the royal family."

Viscount Dubos sighed.

If they did, Isaac would be taken away.

Of course, the Duke's son would not live in prison like other criminals. But Duke Dubbede will not remain silent.

The problem is John Steffen, the head of the Security Agency, the brother-in-law of Marquis Nodelly, who had wanted to capture Dubbede.

If Isaac was captured, he would not waste this opportunity.

With this incident, he'll try to find something to put pressure on Dubbede.

Viscount Dubos came forward and raised his hand.

"It will negatively affect your child as well as my master. Calm down and let's discuss the compensation process."

"As her parents I can't just shut up for compensation! My son is not just a child. He is the future and honor of the Pegnac family!"

Count Pegnac continued, saying,

"If not as good as the tapestry of the founding emperor, what kind of compensation would be appropriate to wounding my family's future and honor?"

Viscount Dubos' face hardened.

The tapestry of the founding emperor was given to Duke Dubbede.

He repeatedly tried to get a tapestry bearing the real name of the founding emperor from the royal palace, but he could not get one.

It was a proof of strength that even the royal family could not intervene.

The count's face was now challenging him, his face was now as if he said,

Isaac Dubbede's fate is now in his hands.

But then, then,

"Then what will the Pegnac family do to make amends for having tarnished our honor?"

I asked while holding Isaac's hand.

Count Pegnac was surprised to hear my voice, However, he immediately laughed and frowned.

"How did my son tarnish your honor!"

"Your son calls me an orphan bitch."

"What what…?!"

"I am the daughter of Dubbede, who was acknowledged by my father, Duke Dubbede, and approved by the King. Who needs to be reported?"

"No way! My son wouldn't do that…!"

Count Pegnac turned pale and looked at his son.

"In, she.. that bitch...no, that girl called me ugly…!"

People around are confused by the situation.

Is it an insult to say that he is ugly?

The countess, who was hugging her son, was also confused.

Isaac shouted, "You.!!!", but I put my hand in his hand and narrowed my eyes.

"Isaac, stop! I'm not an orphan. I'm not afraid of that word! I didn't have parents at first, but now I have a father and a brother. So I'm not an orphan."

"But…."

"Why should I be afraid when I have a brother and a father?"

Isaac did not say anything as I turned my head towards the Pegnac family.

"As you say, how are you going to compensate for the humiliation he has done to me?"

Count Pegnac froze.

No, this is not the time for this.

'Before Duke comes, somehow I have to finish this ...!'

"T, wait, let's talk for a second. So this is, uh…"

Then then, then,

"Let's talk after your son lost his neck."

People were stunned by his voice.

Duke Dubbede, Henry, and all of Dubbede's followers stared at them with eyes colder than the North polar wind in the dead of winter.
