The Baby Raising A Devil's
Chapter 88

***

The woman looked shabby compared to the other nobles in the room.

He climbed the stairs and greeted the nobles, but no one answered. Their reactions to me and my aunt were very different.

A woman with dark brown hair stood alone while my aunt and I were talking to the nobles.

When I glanced at her, my aunt said,

"This is Miss Barthou."

My aunt noticed and told me her name.

“Nona Barthou?”

“Leticia Barthou's. The eldest daughter of Count Barthou.”

"I heard about many nobles from the chairman, but I don't know Count Barthou."

“That's because he's full of debt, and he only has his title.”

“But how is he here? There's only someone here who says that the chairman is important.”

“Count Barthou loyal to Duke Marche and Empress Yvonne. He sent his daughter here to do all kinds of bad things, to attract the attention of the rulers.”

I blinked.

Then Leticia Barthou headed to the waiting room. I immediately told my aunt that I wanted to go to the toilet, and followed her.

Leticia was washing her hands in the sink. My eyes were fixed on his reflection in the mirror.

"Hello Miss."

"Hello."

Maybe she heard someone else call me young miss Dubbled, but she didn't ask who I was.

I went and sat on the couch, like he told me.

“You better stay out. For them, this waiting room is for losers like me.”

“But I'm bored out there. They are all grown up, and they only talk about difficult things.”

Speaking naively, Leticia smiled at me helplessly.

"Let's play together!"

Leticia replied with a smile on her face,

"OKAY. What do we do?"

"Please tell me a fun story."

“Should I?”

Sitting beside me, Leticia told me some stories of the Empire.

I responded enthusiastically to his stories.

"Tell me about the whale story too!"

"Pope?"

"It's about the pope's father looking for the pope's mother and baby."

Leticia's hand flinched as I told her the fairy tale that became famous recently.

“That's..sorry, I don't know much about whales. Ah, it's been a long time. I'll go out first.”

It seems like he deliberately avoided this topic, but I don't care.

Because I know the reason why he avoided it.

This is the story of the pope's family.

The father whale and the mother whale, who live in different places, accidentally meet and fall in love, when the baby whale is born.

The story is about a mother whale and a baby whale that disappears in an unfortunate accident, and the father whale desperately searches for them.

The reason why Leticia did not want to tell me this story was because this was her story.

To be precise, the emperor's brother, Duke Locard, deliberately spread this story to the empire to find his beloved woman who suddenly disappeared one day with their son.

Leticia once worked as a maid, hiding her identity to pay off her father's debts.

He is the servant of Duke Locard, who is secretly recuperating to hide the fact that he lost his sight due to illness.

At that moment, the two fell in love and gave birth to a baby, and somehow Leticia escaped as her vision gradually recovered.

"But in the end, it's a happy ending like the pope's family story."

Leticia will be his wife later, and I want her to be my godmother.

Sharon called my aunt and I to show her the sketch she had completed.

It was surprisingly a beautiful and funny design.

I wonder if I'll look good wearing this.

Aunt nodded.

“It will look good on Leblaine.”

"I know! I've finished the sketch and I'm goosebumps looking at this. This dress is perfect for her!”

"Can you give me accessories too?"

“Hmm, I can't say no to my inspiration. Alright. Because I also like little miss.”

Aunty stamped Ariage's seal on the receipt of the dress.

I almost fainted when I saw him out of curiosity.

'It's expensive ?!'

It's not even comparable to Melvin's dress.

It was a price that made me feel motivated to become richer.

"Thank you as always, customer."

Sharon smiled and lowered her head.

Then we went back home.

Father and brother are waiting for us.

"What kind of a mountain is that?"

Henry asked me.

“I know Sharon's ability, but I'd rather see you wear it.”

I told them how beautiful the dress was and how expensive it was.

Although I said the price, my brothers did not react much and I was embarrassed.

'This is an example of children who are born rich.'

I'm also talking about Lady Leticia Barthou.

I know a big story in the future, but I need detailed information.

My father and brother knew about Count Barthou as I thought.

"The "Count of Barthou...I heard that her daughter cleaned and washed herself because the servants left because of late pay."

“Didn't they borrow a lot of money? Where did the money go?”

“Borrowed money is used for the education of their eldest son and youngest son. Even after borrowing money, the youngest, Lady Barthou still suffered.”

The woman cleans and washes herself…

"He won't have much time to get out because he needs to manage that big house."

In addition, she had little time to get out because she had to take care of her own child.

Isaac asked,

"Why didn't he just run away being treated like a waiter?"

Henry replied, putting sugar cubes into my teacup.

“When they were young, people said that the relationship between them was fine. The Count lived with the woman, and the woman also said she would marry his father. Maybe he can't forget the memories of that time.”

"It's so stupid."

While they were talking, I was wondering how to approach Lady Leticia.

'Hmm, I should approach Leticia ...'

Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet.

I raised my head, my father and brother looked at me.

Dad asked me, though,

"Blaine, who do you want to marry?"

“Why are you asking the obvious? He likes me the most.”

"You're completely wrong."

Isaac and Henry retaliated.

"Blaine."

"Son."

“Leblain.”

"Speak casually, Leblaine."

"Yes, you can be honest with me, son."

"Who's that, Blaine?"

If I say one of the three, I'll have a hard time.

I rolled my eyes and said,

“I, so..um...Johann!”

The faces of three people, except Johann, became pitiful.

Their eyes were fixed on me like arrows.

"Why?"

Dad's voice was low enough to shake the ground.

Isaac glared at Johann with fierce eyes.

"That's because he's the most normal member of the family."

Johann closed the book he was reading and got up.

'Look, Johann doesn't respond to these words like they do.'

I thought so, but my father said with a grim look.

"Where are you going?"

Then Johann answered in a strange way.

"I'm gonna go find a tux."

Henry and Isaac glared at Johann as if they were going to tear him to death.

Dad called the butler.

"Get him back to the academy."

***

I stick my head out the door.

"Okay, there's no one."

After making sure that there was no one, I put the doll on the bed and took the device out of my pocket.

After thinking about the location, I opened my eyes after being wrapped in light. There's Seria in front of me.

“Small phone!”

"Hello…"

When I greeted her with a tired face, Seria quickly got up and let me sit on the sofa.

"I got a letter saying you came to town, but what brought you here without contacting me?"

"I want to confirm the progress of the work."

Progress refers to tracking the 'customer' who kidnapped me and bought Seria's sister.

“Yes, I heard that there was someone working in a hope house related to the slave trade, and I checked it out. But since they are quite careful, I try to spy on them carefully.”

"It's done well."

"Yes. But what's up?”
