The Baby Raising A Devil Chapter 116

Chapter 116

TL: Zimming

Gwang!!

The Duke of Vallua threw a glass at his wife, who returned to the mansion. The Duchess, who narrowly avoided the glass, covered her mouth with a pale face.

“Ho, honey…”

“Useless girl!”

She ran to her angry husband and hung on him.

“I've been hit too. Why does a swindler suddenly target a good-natured person like me? Dubbled must be targeting you, I…! Argh!”

The Duke of Vallua grabbed his wife's shoulders.

“What does the art dealer say? He's from the Dubbled?!”

When the Duchess of Vallua could not answer and avoided looking at him, the Duke pushed her roughly.

Dubbled's second son, Henry Dubbled, who came on behalf of his younger sister before, had a scary side that was not like a boy his age.

“Go in the morning and pack your luggage!”

“Wh, what—“

Back then, he despised himself with insults and words that he had heard from Theodore Dubbled.

When he recalled Theodore in his youth, he remembered the first time in his life when he was humiliated.

It was a garden where nobles gathered, his sword was on the grass, as Theodore Dubbled's sword pointed to him.

A voice murmured,

“Theo, stop.”

The thin back that was blocking him and the hair that was shining brightly.

William Vallua had a woman he could not have in his life.

The man's rough hands that embraced the woman.

At the moment, the face of the child of fate and the woman, who was laughing beside Theodore Dubbled, overlapped.

The Duke of Vallua clenched his fist tightly.

“Taliman!”

When the Duke of Vallua shouted, a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat and gloves came in.

“Please give me your orders.”

“Bring 'them' from underground.”

“Yes.”

The man bowed his head. The eyes of the Duke of Vallua shone.

'You'll lose her again.'

The dazzling glory will be his. He will be left with regret for not keeping what is precious in his life.

The prize will be presented at the Imperial Palace dinner in four days.

I replied to the invitation from the palace as soon as I returned to the mansion.

And today, me and my family left for the palace.

At the dinner table were the children of two families who had entered the finals and their families.

We gave each other greeting and soon after, the emperor, the first prince, Andre, and Empress Yvonne came in.

Normally, the person with the highest position among those invited will be the one who start the greeting.

However, it was up to me, the winner of the virtual battle, to start the greeting today.

“God bless the sun of the Empire. Enjoy the glory of eternity.”

I said with a polite bow.

'What do you think? Perfect?'

I learned it from Camilla and the chairman.

Dad, brother, and aunt had a proud expression, followed by their greeting to show courtesy to the emperor.

“Enjoy the glory of eternity.”

The emperor smiled happily and nodded.

“Welcome to the palace. Sit down.”

After sitting down, everyone in the dining room started eating. There was a small conversation, and the atmosphere was amicable all the time.

I was a little worried that Shuheil, my opponent in the finals, might act rashly because of jealousy, but it seems like he already forgot his defeat in the final.

“This is delicious,” he said as he offered me a pie.

“Thank you.”

“Eat a lot and grow taller. That way, no one's going to think you're small next time.”

…he didn't forget the defeat.

Isaac snorted and put a different kind of pie on top of the pie Shuheil gave.

“Why? Do you think you're being ridiculed by my sister?”

“We're in the presence of his majesty. Watch your words.”

Edgar Shuheil frowned and said that.

The two of them were said to be at odds with each other at the academy, they must really be on bad terms.

I chewed the pie Isaac cut for me, thinking I should remember the fact next time.

'By the way what about the prize? The prize!'

I am in a hurry to find out about the summoner in Duke of Vallua's secret warehouse.

Originally, I tried to investigate it. But they said summoners are very rare. In the first place, it was difficult to even find anyone who knew them.

Empress Yvonne, who was having a meal and talking to the wifes of the families, tapped her mouth with a napkin.

“Your Majesty, I think they waited enough for you, so I'll give the prize of virtual battle.”

The emperor nodded as my eyes twinkled.

'It would be best to see Boone again. Or the 56th pillar devil. Because Boone said that devil is kind.'

When the emperor raised his hand, the servants came in.

They gave envelopes on the finalists. This was because there was a small amount of prize money for the finalists.

They gave me a thick envelope and a jewel in a transparent box.

'This is nogak…'

It is a slightly oval, yellowish jewel. Unlike a bright yellow colour, the color is a little murky.

I looked at the emperor and he nodded.

“It is a jewel in ancient records. You can take a closer look.”

I quickly opened the box and saw the jewel.

'Wow…'

I knew it as soon as I touched it. Nogak is the one I've been looking for. There is a slight whirl of force inside.

'Boone please come.'

Back then, on Boone's mineral, a very friendly energy was felt. I felt like I was submerged in warm water.

However, this energy is similar to Pymon which is a bit tough.

'No, it's a lot tougher than Pymon's.'

A powerful devil?

“….need to.”

“Lady?”

“Yes?!”

I was so looking closely into the jewel that I missed the emperor's words.

'Oh no, my concentration…'

It is difficult to maintain my adult thinking because I used my divine power to drive out monsters during the virtual battle and were tired in many ways while dealing with the Duchess of Vallua.

“What does lady think? Which one is it, the first or the second prince?”

I glanced at my family. Either way they seemed to be unpleasant.

Empress Yvonne was smiling very affectionately.

'Because Vallua becomes useless, this time she wanted to use the Dubbled?'

I snorted inwardly.

I hate it.

Emperor Yvonne and the first prince were as dangerous as the church. In my first life, Empress Yvonne was eager to make the child of fate as a bride for the first prince.

There was a widespread opinion that I was fake, so she was not interested, and was very interested in Mina.

The empress made all kinds of schemes to connect Mina with the first prince. I was involved and suffered because of it.

'The answer is already fixed.'

“I chose Adrian the Second Prince!”

The empress' face hardened. She, who squeezed the napkin, tried to hide her expression and asked.

“Why Adrian? You've never met Adrian, have you?”

“I saw ah, no, met him at godmother's mansion. He gave me an honor to be his friend!”

The emperor nodded his head.

“So it's like that…”

It would be a good thing for the emperor.

It was at a time when Empress Yvonne's power grew so large that he needed something to hold her back.

But Adrian doesn't have a proper support.

The mere presence of me on the second prince's back would have stopped Empress Yvonne's a bit.

He might want to stop the collusion between Dubbled and Empress Yvonne.

My aunt also nodded as if Adrian was the best choice.

But my dad and brothers didn't look good. Especially Johann's expression.

He grabbed my hand and asked, “Why?” stealthily.

“Did you forget?”

“You with me……never mind.”

I looked at him.

Isaac murmured, narrowing his forehead.

“That's weird.”

Henry asked in a small voice.

“What?”

“I'm so frustrated because I think I'm going to lose something that's very precious.”

“Watch your mouth. We're in the palace.”

“They can't hear me.”

My dad and brothers were in a bad mood even after the dinner. I held my aunt's hand and walked while looking at my family.

“Should I choose the first prince?”

“No. You made the right choice.”

“Is that so?”

But why are they this gloomy?

I thought so and saw them?

'This is not the time. I'll go back and summon the devil in this jewel…'

And it was just around the time I left the palace, The wind blew heavily.

“It's spring now. What kind of wind is this?”

Isaac shouted.

Henry looked at me and asked me affectionately, “Did you get any dust in your eyes?” and my dad gave his coat to me.

While my family was doing that, I was looking into the air with a stiff face.

“That…”

“Huh?”

“What's going on?”

“Child?”

“Blaine?”

I looked at my family with shaky eyes.

“Can't you see that?”

That guy in the air.

That man who is looking at us with a fierce gaze.

“What are you talking about?”

When Isaac asked, I shouted.

“Get out of here!”

In the man's hand, the spark condensed into a big circle and flew toward us!
