The Baby Raising A Devil Chapter 107

I'm gonna eat all of this ice cream and jelly. Yay!

Back in the room, I sat on the sofa.

The chairman, who came to the mansion after talking to Seria, shook his head with a very tired expression.

“Let's find another way.”

“How?”

The chairman couldn't answer easily.

If there is another way, We couldn't do anything to get public attention.

Also, if we get our hands on the Nogak in a different way, they'll be paying attention to Dubbled, also the church.

It's quiet now because of Adolf's death penalty, but if anything is to happen, it'll be noisy again.

If they come forward, even if I am a Dubbled, war cannot be easily prevented.

There are a total of six grooves on the etwal.

First of all, solving the big drought.

Then, stopping the attack of the mage.

Healing.

Finding a relic to be used in rituals.

Punishing the dragon.

I don't know anything else, but I have to find the devil or other things that prevent the attack of the mages.

At that time, Mina established a vast and powerful connection between the Imperial Mages and the Pope.

If it is like that, it is possible to protect Dubbleds when there's an all-out war with the Empire.

“If there is a possibility that Nogak is the right one, I have to go all out.”

When I said so, the chairman gave a small sigh.

“At times like this, it looks like you're the blood of Dubbled.”

“At a time like this?”

“Once you make a decision, you don't look back.”

The chairman continued with a smile.

“While you persuade them, I will look into some useful knights in Dubbled.”

I nodded, as the chairman left the room.

A few weeks later, a virtual battle notice came out.

As it was one of the events that children were excited about, the society was very excited hearing about it.

Henry told me as he sat next to me, after covering me with a blanket.

“There's a rumor that the princes are participating in a virtual battle.”

“It's a false rumor.”

My aunt picked up the teacup and said.

“Is that so?”

“But rather than the princes, the hyenas of the society have something else to be desired.”

“What is it?”

“They will get an exclusive guard of the children who are under 17 years of age.”

When Henry smiled, Isaac said heartily.

“If they're under 17 years old, it must mean that they wanted to show off. Anyway, the imperial family is only blinded by things that aren't important.”

“Well, show off isn't necessarily bad. The people always want to look good.”

As my family talked, I was thinking about the chances to talk.

I shouted “Wow!” and clapped my hands.

“I heard it from the ladies at the godmother's mansion, and they say that virtual battle is very fun.”

“It's a loud and spectacular event.”

“It'll be worth watching.”

Henry and Isaac spoke.

“Can the people who don't participate see?”

“People could watch it at the shopping district. While nobles would gather in the Imperial Palace to see virtual battle.”

“I see.”

“It's an event that can make their child stand out, so it's fun to watch as the nobles prepare desperately. The winner's family has the honor of a thousand years.”

I opened my eyes wide as if I didn't know.

“Then we should join!”

Henry said with a big smile.

“We can't participate because we're aura users.”

“How about me?”

Then, the eyes of the servants who was serving with the family turned to me at once.

I laughed with an innocent look.

“And I am already nine.”

My dad said right away that I couldn't participate.

“You can't.”

“But it's good for the family. Our knights are very strong, so we can win.”

When I looked at the head knight and said, “Right?” He tried to say something, but he gazed at my family and stopped his mouth.

“Even if it's a virtual battle, sharp weapons are mobilized. Some of them are mages. There are many noble children who might get hurt and lose.”

“It's okay because I have a divine power. I can protect my body.”

“Blaine.”

My dad called my name when he couldn't scold me. I grab my father's arm with my face down.

“We don't have many opportunities to participate. I want to do it!”

My aunt said,

“It's a once in four years event, so you have a chance to participate next time.”

But there is only one opportunity this year to get the item.

I saw Henry, Isaac, and Johann with tearful eyes.

“Brother…”

Henry smiled sweetly, but avoided answering by holding a teacup. Isaac looked away awkwardly. Johann didn't say anything as usual.

When I purposely made a sullen face, Henry said soothingly.

“If you want to try it, let's do it with us. From holding a wooden sword to the knights. You can ask our father for the prize.”

“But it's not a millennium's honor to be given by my father.”

I stretched my shoulders while saying what I had prepared.

“People called Dubbleds a villain's family. It's not honorable.”

To be honest, I think it's best to spend more money than a thousand years of honor, eat a lot of delicious things, and play around, but I tried hard to look pitiful.

Isaac frowned deeply.

“Who said those things to you, I'm gonna tear them up…”

“But I know the truth. My family is so strong and wonderful!”

Then, my incredibly strong and wonderful family made an arrogant face.

“So I want to let people know. We're not villains, we're just strong.”

“Dad is a wonderful person who does everything to protect us, aunt and brother as well.”

Dad said while having eye contact with me.

“An honor is not worth it. To me, a value that is more valuable than honor is to protect you, and to know the value of it, is more important than honor.”

“So you don't have to be in danger for honor.”

I couldn't beat my father's words, who was used to engaging in a war of nerves with the old nobles.

Let's cry and lie on the floor.

I was about to get out of the chair and tried hard to remember the posture of the Grand Duke's son lying down at the toy store.

“But it would be a good experience for Leblaine.”

My aunt said,

My father's cold eyes turned to her, and my brothers looked at aunt with disapproving faces.

“Do you want to risk it only for an experience?”

As Isaac narrowed his forehead, aunt put down a teacup and said.

“Henry said this too. Showing off isn't necessarily a bad thing.”

“That and this are different problems…!”

“There are those who want to challenge us, so it would be good to show off the power of Dubbled.”

I cheered for my aunt with excitement.

“The nobles will be the first to think of this child when they want to beat us.”

“Don't you know best when you lose Risette, that she can't do anything when she's cornered?”

Some people have dared to assassinate the Duchess of Dubbled, and they would be after the next easiest prey.

I was delighted by the unexpected help and flinched as I looked at my family.

Johann said,

“We can show off her power in other ways. You don't have to put her in danger.”

“Henry and Isaac would be against participating.”

“Henry and Isaac—“

“She can protect herself. I believe that's why she can participate. In other words, you guys don't trust Leblaine.”

“Why can't you believe her? Because she doesn't know how to use an aura like Isaac? Because you don't think that she's as talented in tactics as Henry, or because she doesn't know how to protect herself?”

Henry and Isaac shouted.

“Aunt…!”

“Aunt!”

Aunt looked at Dad with an indescribable look.

“Building a safe fence won't help the children, Your Excellency.”

“The best parental care is to trust and wait for them to grow.”

Dad touched the handle of the teacup without saying a word, and I smiled at my aunt.

A total of 20 knights will be deployed to the virtual battle. Their age is under 17.

The list sent by the chairman confirmed 19 people who participated.

The last one is…

I grinned inwardly.
