The Baby Raising A Devil Chapter 190

Chapter C190

TL: Zimming

Cecilia looked at me confidently, but instead of answering, I hid behind Cecilia as soon as her gaze came to me.

I felt like I wanted to scream.

Why is it Mina's godmother……!

After it was revealed that Mina was a child of true fate, the ladies of the society were desperate to somehow make her a foster daughter (like Leblaine and her godmother).

However Mina,

“I already have someone teaching me etiquette. She always sighs and says that she is a tomboy, but I really enjoy spending time with her.”

She rejected the distinguished ladies by saying that.

Everyone was curious about the godmother of Mina, the child of true fate, who was not revealed yet.

But I've seen Mina's godmother a few times.

That person is Deglid.

“Godmother…! Agh!”

“Don't run. You never listen to me.”

“I'm just too excited to meet you.”

When I thought of the two of them in a friendly atmosphere, my head was dizzy.

All young masters and ladies build relationships based on their godmother.

However, Mina was not aware of this unspoken rule.

But far from being ridiculed, the people started taking care of Mina more.

I felt very uncomfortable with her. Not just because she's Mina's godmother, but because I was once accused of poisoning Mina by the godmother.

“How could you be a human…! To think that you did that to a child who treated you nicely. How can a child be so vicious…!”

I remember the time when I was surprised and didn't know what to do. In addition, even the eyes of the godmother were full of affection for Mina.

We've only met twice, but I could see it in her face each time.

“Lady, are you alright?”

“No…”

“Did you feel uncomfortable somewhere?”

I think we will fail this exam.

While I was making a sad expression on my face,

“Is that the lady of Dubblede?”

Mina's godmother called me. Then I came out from behind Cecilia's back and bowed my head.

“Glory to the empire. I greet you…”

“You're a quieter kid than what I've heard.”

She looked at me for a moment, then looked away. She looked at the candidates gathered at the hunting ground and announced the contents of the test.

“What do you think are the virtues of an empress? Whoever embraces the people of the empire should be brave and wise.”

Lady Amboise spread her skirt wide and slightly bent her knees.

“What you said is true.”

The other ladies followed her and bent. She lightly held the sword brought by the attendant and continued.

“The boring sewing time is over. Prove to me your bravery. This test will be about catching the released animals.”

The faces of the candidates darkened with surprise.

It's a pretty difficult test for young girls who have never lifted anything heavier than a fork.

Moreover, the weapon prepared by the servants was a sword.

“Not a bow, but a sword…”

Someone mumbled in a perplexed tone. She answered with a gentle face.

“A bow is a weapon that can only be used after repeated training, but a sword is a weapon that can be used by everyone. Once held, even a four or five year old can cut flesh.”

Is it possible for those who have grown up to be noble to cut an animal's neck?

The faces of those who owned divine power or magical powers were bright. Because if they use that, they can get ahead of others.

But then she said,

“Magic is forbidden.”

“A rabbit is 2 points, a deer 4 points, and a fox 6 points. With some help, you can only get half of the points.”

As the surroundings became quiet, she laid back.

“Let's start.”

As soon as she sat down on the chair provided by the servant, the hunt began.

“Aghh!”

“Mother……!”

Screams erupted from all sides.

Candidates and recommenders stumbled upon the sight of the deer.

A deer may look like a cute animal, but in reality, it's pretty violent and strong. Especially the ones released.

“Bro-brother, how do I…!”

“T-this is my first time hunting with a sword, ah!

The recommender could also hunt with the candidate, but the men who grew up as a noble did not know what to do.

Meanwhile, our Cecilia…

“I…”

When she raised her hand, the attendant answered.

“Yes?”

“Should we only catch one animal per person?”

“Pardon?”

“We don't have to catch only one right?”

“We didn't have a maximum, but…….”

Cecilia smiled brightly and took the sword l.

Cecilia leapt from the ground, and climbed onto her deer's back. And when she strangled it, the deer shouted and collapsed with a sound.

“There you go. Stay calm. I won't slit your throat.”

It was very easy for Cecilia who used to slit people by the throat.

The candidates looked around impatiently.

“It must be easier to hunt a deer than a fox, let's hurry…”

“I'd rather hunt a rabbit…”

“Rabbit has faster feet than a deer.”

Meanwhile, I was scouring the bushes.

Everyone is so distracted by the sword they hold, but there are tools scattered everywhere in the hunting ground.

I tied the net to the base of a tree and drove those rabbits to the net.

“Come on, go in!”

I ran from behind as the rabbits were caught in the net. I picked up the rabbits.

“I've got it! Should I dismantle it”

The wild rabbits look pretty creepy. Their fur is unmanaged, and its claws are sharp. It looks like a violent animal.

Seeing the rabbit floundering in my hand, people gave me a puzzled expression.

The servant was surprised and said, “O-oh no need.”

“Great.”

Haha, I laughed and shoved the rabbit into the cage the servant was holding.

Growing up as an orphan in my past life, hunting rabbits was very easy for me. Back then, I had to go up to the mountain when I was starving or hunted wild animals to make a living.

Cecilia and I accumulated quite a bit of points. Meanwhile, our score was visible in the air.

“Oh my…”

The nobles gathered in front of the screen looked at Cecilia and Leblaine in bewilderment.

When the other candidates didn't know what to do, they already had 7 points.

[Oh, oh! Cecilia! I'll go over there! This fox. Come here!]

Leblaine's skill was no different from those of a wild animal hunter.

“Lady Dubblede is… so uhm…”

What do they want to say?

Although the words could not be continued, all those who watched her agreed.

Godmother Camilla nodded with a smile.

“She's so brave, isn't she?”

The Duke of Dubblede and Johann answered with the same expression.

“She usually went hunting wild boars with us.”

“When hunting monsters, the knights asked her to come forward first.”

People who heard their boasting laughed awkwardly.

The emperor was watching them with burning eyes.

In the last test, Cecilia was last because of the empress dowager's discrimination. He couldn't sleep thinking that Lady Amboise might win.

The emperor was delighted when he saw Leblaine catching the fox.

She always did things perfectly.

When he heard that the 9-year-old Leblaine will help Cecilia, he was a bit worried. But she was even more capable than Javelin.

Andre and her seem to be the same age… No, there's nothing more troublesome than a collusion between Marche and Dubblede, so Adrian…

A son who looks like him and has a handsome face is so helpful!

The emperor grinned happily. He gave the Duke of Dubblede a subtle glance. Those who noticed quickly said,

“But, isn't it time for the lady to have a fiancee?”

“No.”

Johann glared at the nobleman and answered firmly. The nobleman spoke awkwardly.

“Most young girls get engaged before they reach their teens…”

“My sister said she would marry me.”

When the son boasted arrogantly, the father arrogantly crossed his legs.

“No, she said she would live with me for the rest of her life.”

At their words, Godmother Camilla rubbed her chin lightly and said.

“She doesn't have to get married.”

It was the moment when a Leblaine no-marriage group was launched.

We had a total of 19 points.

No matter how hard they try, they won't be able to follow us. At that moment, my communication device was making a sound. It seemed that Seria had organized all of the material about devils.

I walked towards the podium that was set up as a break room.

Then, my eyes met with Deglid who was watching the hunt from the podium.

It didn't seem like she was colluding with the temple. If she sided with the temple, she wouldn't even think about this exam because the temple had a strict rule about not killing any creature.

But…

Then, Deglid also suddenly gasped for air and held her forehead.
