The Baby Raising A Devil Chapter 99

“Long time no see!”

The Duke of Vallua greeted my father with a big smile.

Even in my second life, it was obvious that he was friendly only on the surface, he would talk bad about him behind his back.

It was because of his arrogance, he thought that he would be able to surpass Dubbled's dominance as he held the powerful device in his hand.

The Vallua family is definitely a powerful family compared to other noble families, but it was at the bottom of the five Dukes.

The ancestors considered honor as a top priority for generations and criticized the nobles for paying attention to money.

But money is the root of honor and power.

Therefore, Vallua was at the bottom of the five Dukes, they didn't have many money and soldiers.

However, according to the words of the Vallua's ancestors, Dubbleds are a pest that throws away the honor of nobleman and only has eyes on money, but they have succeeded and gained prestige.

The Duke of Vallua looked up at my father with the corners of his mouth raised.

“The other day at the party, you were so busy that we didn't have the time to talk. What about today?”

Now that he has the device on his hands, he dares to speak like this.

But my father didn't care about the Duke of Vallua and looked at me, who was feeling bad a little while ago.

My father bent on one knee and looked at me, he lifted my eyelids a little and checked my pupils.

“I don't think you're sick.”

Duke of Vallua's mouth trembled because of my father's action.

“I guess I'm running out of time again today.”

Only then did my father's eyes glanced at him.

“Then don't stick around and go.”

“……It sounded like you're ignoring the gold mine in front of you because of your pride.”

My dad got up. When my father, who was much taller than the Duke of Vallua, stood up right away, he looked down at the Duke of Vallua.

“Your device. It has nothing to do with Dubbled, whether it's 3 kilometers or more. We can afford to buy a lot of it on the market.”

“If you're thinking of doing business, go to those who are desperate.”

My father said that.

The Duke of Vallua's face turned red. But he couldn't say anything.

I laughed inwardly.

Even without the Duke of Vallua's device, he could buy many of the 3 kilometer ones on the market.

Of course, it was only my father who could buy 300,000 francs worth of the device like a children's toy.

The Duke could only turn his back.

Whether he go or not, my dad was still looking at my condition. I took my father's hand when he asked the servants to bring a doctor.

“I'm not sick!”

“But, just now…”

“It's because I'm nervous.”

Then Isaac said with a serious face.

“Kid, you don't have to be nervous. I'll kill anyone who bothers you.”

“You can't kill anyone!”

“Then I'll just beat them up.”

I was about to yell that he couldn't.

“His Majesty the Emperor has come!”

The announcement of the emperor's entrance caused everyone to stop their conversation.

I took Johann and Henry's hands, as we bowed our heads.

Looking at the center, I could see the Emperor wearing a luxurious red robe next to a boy with navy blue hair and a beautiful lady with the same blue hair.

I looked at Empress Yvonne, who smiled gracefully, and Andre, the First Prince, who was smiling with an arrogant face beside her.

Yvonne Louerg. The eldest daughter of the Duke of Marche

With the help of the Empress Dowager, she spent the night with the drunk Emperor and gave birth to the first prince.

Even the emperor's child could not be treated as a prince if he was not the Empress' son, so the emperor needed to make Yvonne as an empress for her children.

Andre became the first prince, but only by name, Adrian who was born from Empress Elsa five months later, was officially named the first son of the Emperor.

Of course, Adrian has higher standing than Andre.

Empress Yvonne was eager to reform the Imperial law with the nobles to give her son the plaque of the eldest son.

When the Duke of Vallua puts the imperial law amendment on the agenda with the device on his hands, the nobles will have to side with him.

“I would like to express my gratitude to all the people who attended this event.”

Empress Yvonne smiled and looked around the hall, as the nobles bowed.

“Long live the Empress!”

“Long live!”

After greeting, the Emperor said,

“You can get up.”

The nobles straightened their posture.

Soon after, Empress Yvonne looked at the people of the Duke Vallua saying,

“Oh my, it's the Duke of Vallua.”

“I greet the Empress.”

“I heard that there was something to celebrate in your family. You must be busy.”

“No matter how busy I am, of course I should attend Imperial events.”

She looked at the Emperor with a smile.

“Your Majesty, did you hear about it? Vallua produced some amazing device.”

But I didn't know that she would promote this openly.

The Emperor was also dumbfounded.

“Didn't Vallua's family has advanced the empire's magic one step further?”

When she looked at the Duke of Vallua, he strode towards them and bent on one knee.

“It is Her Majesty's grace who believed in my family.”

Empress Yvonne replied,

“There are rumors, but I've heard that you have never given a direct answer. Everyone's going to be curious, so please start talking about the device.”

At this time, the Duke of Vallua raised the corners of his mouth.

“We've successfully built a new one that extends the range of travel by nearly 3 kilometers than the previous one.”

At the moment, exclamations came out of the crowd.

“The rumor was true then.”

“What do you mean, 3 kilometers? We haven't increased any meters the last hundred years.”

There were already people approaching the Duchess of Vallua.

The emperor said, “Ah…3 kilometers”, Duke Vallua lifted his head and raised himself up.

Then he took the device out of his arms. On the surface, there seem to be about ten large quantities.

The emperor laughed loudly and accepted his device.

“I will not forget Vallua's effort.”

“It's an honor, Your Majesty.”

His face, which was red with shame when he talked to my father, was now heated up again with expectations of the emperor's reward.

I shouted, “Oh!”

At one point, the eyes of the crowd turned to me.

Not only the Duke of Vallua, but also the Emperor, Empress Yvonne, and the first prince.

I held my father's hand pretending to be embarrassed.

“I'm sorry……”

The Emperor looked at me and said, “Ah.”

“You're the child of fate.”

At his words, Henry lightly pushed me back and nodded.

I bent my knees a little with my skirt spread out.

“I am Leblaine Risette Dubbled. I greet the sun of the Empire.”

“Yes.”

The Emperor nodded, and Empress Yvonne glanced at me.

“Well, there must have been something wrong with what I said.”

She seemed angry that all the eyes that should be focused on Vallua came to me.

“Well…I have also prepared a present for you, but Duke Vallua has given the same thing.”

“You mean the device?”

Then the Duke of Vallua burst into laughter.

“It must be the device on the market. Yes, the current ones are also great.”

The Emperor still smiled kindly to me.

“It's a commendable thing.”

“I…I didn't buy it from the tower, but I made it with the Mages of Dubbled, even if you don't need it, it's okay…”

The Emperor's eyes widened as I deliberately made a dejected face.

“Lady made it?”

“Yes, I was talking to the mages and they told me a few things, I thought about it, and it's finished. I thought it would be good to give it to Your Majesty because what the mages build is amazing. The best thing is reserved for the Emperor.”

As she mumbled like a child, the Duchess of Vallua, who was in the audience, burst into laughter.

“Is the distance longer than ours?”

“That's right!”

The Emperor smiled and said,

“Hmm, can I see your device?”

I slipped out two of them.

“So ei…”

“Eight meters?”

Duke of Vallua looked at me with an arrogant look, and the families who did not know it focused on the device with a questionable face.

The Emperor asked,

“80 meters?”

“No.”

“Then?”

“8,000 kilometers.”

“……huh?”

I spoke clearly, looking straight at the Duke of Vallua.

“8,000 kilometers!”

Which device can only go 8 kilometers? Mine could travel for 8,000 kilometers.

Then, the device from Vallua fell from the Emperor's hand.

“Wh,wha,what,what did you just say?”

I said with my dejected look.

“But since you don't need it, I'll give it to my father.”

The Emperor's mouth opened with dismay.
