The Baby Raising A Devil Chapter 118

Chapter 118

TL: Zimming

[If you don't listen to me, you would be in danger. Didn't you nearly die just by blocking my attack?]

He spoke with an arrogant look on his face, which made me irritated.

“Then I'll run out of my divine power and go crazy, or wait for me to die.”

[What!!]

“If I call you and die, can you go back?”

[How dare…!]

The devil shuddered when I said so.

That devil is by no means a soft person like Boone, according to my intuition. Nevertheless, as soon as I called him out, he said [Nice to meet you.] then, there must be a wish that I have to listen to.

'This makes it clear.'

It's my side that has the upper hand in relationships with the devil.

Whether they are desperate for a wish like Boone or not interested in the wish itself like Pymon, it was only me who could send them back.

I laughed cynically at the devil.

The devil tried to pretend to be calm.

[Everything in the world is in order. It is also reasonable to offer sacrifices as I help those who called me out.]

“How about apologizing for making me like this and attempted to hurt my family?”

[You damn-]

“You should apologize instead of saying that.”

[…I can't. I won't do it!]

“Okay, let's die together.”

The devil stared at me as if he was challenging me to drive the situation to its worst. I didn't avoid his eyes.

“Let's both die together. Because I'm not scared at all.”

[……ry.]

“What?”

[I'm sorry.]

He raised his head up.

“Say that you'll never touch the Dubbled family again.”

[……Dubbled…]

He stared at me but repeat what I told him to say. I said with a grin.

“Okay, don't talk to me now.”

[…Why are you doing this to me.]

The devil became sullen and asked,

“It's because when you talk, I lose my strength… Quiet…”

I fell asleep on the floor.

'I felt like I was going to die earlier…'

The “die together” threat to the devil was sincere.

I was keeping calm in prison, but it was just to reassure my family and show that I am okay.

In fact, I was cornered. Here, it was dangerous if Vallua did something.

That's why I had no choice but to call out the devil in my worst situation of being in prison, with little divine power left.

Because I needed the devil's help.

However, cooperation in a relationship without trust only holds my ankle.

'I'd rather die than mess things up with this cooperation with the devil.'

That way, at least my family, my people, will avoid this.

The devil, who was looking at me, tried to hide himself.

“……ne.”

“L…”

“Leblaine.”

My eyes were swollen and couldn't open properly. When I rubbed my eyes, something touched my forehead lightly.

'I feel good…'

And a bit strange.

As soon as something touched my forehead, my hot forehead became cool.

I felt so good that I rubbed my cheek on it and whined, “More…”

I tried to open my eyes again.

“Gasp!”

A handsome face in front of me…!!

I shouted in surprise.

“Adrian?”

The child was holding my hand.

“Yes.”

“What, why are you here?”

“His Majesty called me to the palace, and I could feel your energy.”

“Mine?”

“Yes. I went here when you collapsed so I helped you.”

I looked at him.

'Is it possible? Huh? Then right now…'

I feel lighter than before I collapsed. My adult thinking seems to be maintained well. If it was not, it seemed like I was going to cry any moment due to the fear of being trapped in a dark prison.

I tried to feel my condition when my eyes were closed, so I was shocked to see Adrian.

“But what's wrong with you!”

The one who's sick was not me, but Adrian. His face has turned pale, and he is likely to collapse soon.

'No way…'

I quickly picked up Adrian's sleeve.

“You gave me your divine power.”

I thought he was better than others, but I didn't know he had this much power.

It is called “blessing” to give away the divine power to others. But It was a secret technique handed down by the priest.

“Where did you learn that? Did the High Priest teach you?”

“No.”

“Then how?”

“I just thought I wanted to save you, and it became like this. I'm glad.”

Adrian laughed so hard that I was amazed.

“Be glad it's a good thing. You're a fool!”

“……are you angry?”

“How can you share your divine power like this!”

I, too, have the divine power of a cardinal rank. Having a lot of divine power means that I have a larger tank than others.

Pouring water into a cup and pouring water into a huge tank are different.

Adrian almost died because he used up his divine power.

“But I'm glad you're not sick anymore.”

“….you're really a fool.”

Adrian laughed again.

'He's like a sickly little boy who usually appears in novels my maids read to me…wait, it's not the time to think about it.'

I almost got bewitched by his beauty for a moment, so I said,

“How did you get here? You don't have anyone to help you.”

“I did what you taught me before.”

“Me?”

Adrian nodded.

“No way you…”

“Are you tired of living? Aren't you scared of your future? If you're not lucky, it wouldn't end with your limbs chopped.”

He must have remembered the threat I taught him.

I nodded my head.

“Yes, yes. Good job. If there's anything you need next time, you can threaten them by looking at the situation.”

“Yes.”

“Anyway, thank you for today.”

“Yes.”

I laughed brightly.

'He's like a puppy.'

I could only see many beasts at home, so seeing such an innocent puppy makes me feel emotional.

He touched my forehead again and said.

“I think you're really okay now.”

Then I closed my eyes, and somehow when I remembered Jay, my beggar's friend in my last life, I remembered what the sister who worked at the bakery said,

“The kid is touching my heart.”

I was wondering what she meant, and I guess this is how she feels. I want to protect him and pinch his cheeks. Adrian was 4 years older than me in this life.

If they feel this way, it is understandable that we ate a lot of leftover bread at the bakery before thanks to Jay.

“Yes, yes. It's thanks to you. But go back now. It's dangerous.”

“What about you?”

“Huh?”

“When is the Duke of Dubbled coming to pick you up?”

“That…”

“Did you come into contact with Trigon? He's at the center of this situation.”

“How do you know that?”

I was surprised and asked.

It is true that Trigon is at the center of this incident.

The focus of the controversy was whether I used defensive magic or attack.

However, it depends on the point of view, so my treatment will be decided according to the testimony of Chief Mage Trigon, who is in charge of the imperial court's decision.

“His Majesty told me.”

“Aha.”

I grinned and stroked Adrian's head.

“You're smart. Good, good. You have to remember that.”

“Yes……”

“Dad would have been in contact with Trigon. I'll be right out, so don't worry about me.”

I quickly got Adrian up and pushed him out.

“See you out of here, Adrian.”

“……can I call you Blaine?”

“Of course.”

I need to establish a good relationship with Adrian, who will become a powerful man in the future.

I said with a smile.

“Because we're friends!”

“……yes.”

Adrian mumbled in a very low voice.

“See you next time……Friend.”

I flinched without realizing it.

'He has such a sad look in his eyes.'

It indeed tugs people's hearts.

Leblaine was waving her hand until he left the prison completely.

Adrian looked at the door gently even after he left.

“Your Highness.”

A man in a knight's uniform approached Adrian.

“Trigon.”

When Adrian asked, the man reported his findings with a low voice.

“He's in contact with Dubbled at the church, but he's still shutting his mouths. He also talked to the Cardinal. The scales don't seem to be leaning toward Dubbled.”

“Or maybe it's a trick to raise the stakes.”

“If he was looking for wealth, the Duke of Dubbled would have ended the situation at the last minute.

“Then…”

“Bring Trigon.”

“It's not time for you to step in yet.”

Adrian slowly shifted his gaze to him.

“I don't want to see her locked up in the prison for another day.”

“But…”

“Do it. If you rebel…”

Adrian's red eyes were filled with threats.

“Your body won't be intact.”

“……yes.”

Camilla, who was asked by the emperor to take care of Adrian said,

“You're so naive in a place full of evil people. I'm worried.”

Innocent?

The man laughed.

Adrian was a child who grew up with blades. He grew up being surrounded by enemies and blade.

No one would dare to call Adrian a child if they knew what the 13-year-old kid was doing secretly.

That night.

The imperial mages looked at Trigon, who was drunk, with anxiety.

“You're going to be in big trouble. You're so drunk that you can't go back to the mansion alone.”

“Who dare touch me! Even that Duke Dubbled and the cardinal did not dare to do anything to me!”

The people tried to help him, but Trigon walked alone on the street.

'What the church will give me is 50 million francs. They said that if I can do it well, they can double the amount, so I am rich. Wealthy!'

The Duke of Dubbled could not even be able to afford how much money he would spend.

He stumbled and felt someone's presence.

“Who is it! Who dared to follow me?”

His father's connections gave him the title of chief mage, but he's not that bad. His senses weren't so dull so that he knew someone was following him.

As he shouted, those who hid in the street appeared.

“My master has said…”

“My lord calls…”

“My client…”

“Someone…”

“Our master will give you…”

The assassins stared at each other.

'What, those bastards.'

It's not just one or two.

At least five assassins stared at each other around Trigon.

“Wha, wha, what, what! You guys!”

While Trigon screamed, the assassins checked each other.

“Get away.”

“You guys.”

“Do you want to taste my lord's power?”

“My master is someone important!”

“No way my client is more awesome!”

While the assassins were arguing, Trigon was confused.

'Is it the church, Dubbled? No, there are so many of them…! Let's run away first.'

Just then,

Bang!

Trigon, who was beaten by something, fell down without a sound.

The assassins looked at each other.

“What!”

Something invisible is there.

The “something” muttered silently.

[How dare she use me as an errand boy!]
