The Baby Raising A Devil

Chapter 327

TL: Zimmings

Pope’s office.

The cardinals and priests urgently visited the underground prison. As soon as they opened the door, a glass shard flew towards them.

Clang-!

With a sharp sound, the glass stuck in the wall became fragmented and fell towards them.

The Cardinal Blasio, who gulped, hurriedly repented to the pope.

“I’m sorry.”

“I’m sorry!”

Other priests followed and bowed their heads.

The pope slowly approached them.

“What?”

The first to kneel, Cardinal Blasio, lifted his head.

“The sin of not being able to detect intruders-”

Before he could finish speaking, the pope trampled on the priest’s hand.

“No, no.”

The pope gazed into the air and leisurely walked among the priests.

“Your sin is to miss Meria.”

The priest clenched their trembling hands tightly.

It was at night when the pope found out that he had missed Leblaine.

Adrian, who had exhausted his strength after Andre visited the palace, returned to his true form.

While the cardinals and priests were astonished by his appearance, the pope immediately wandered in search of Leblaine.

He ran to Leblaine’s room, which was clearly empty, confirmed with his own eyes that she was not there.

After that, he searched through the underground passages where there were reports that the door had been opened.

Seeing Leblaine’s footprints at the underground exit, the pope fall down.

The pope, who hugged the soil stamped with her footprints, laughed and shout like a maniac.

Even after returning to the vatican, he could not calm his anger.

Throughout the dawn, Adrian, who was tied to the chain, was whipped along side the priests who failed to protect her.

Even the cardinals did not dare to stop him. This was because his emotions had assimilated to his body, as he forcibly absorbing the power of God and poured out violent divine power.

To the extent that their barriers are half damaged.

Even a strong person, like a holy knighy, would have died if they were under the pope’s cirscumtances.

Cardinal Nicolasio, who was kneeling beside Blasio, stammered.

“I’ll send the holy knights to Dubblede right away. No, I’m…!”

“Do you think Dubblede will easily give her to us?”

“I will bring her back at any cost, His Holiness.”

“If they’re hurt, she will hang herself.”

“Th-then…”

“If I could go into Dubblede and bring her back, I would have gone there as soon as I knew that this rat was pretending to be her-!!”

A shout echoed through the basement of the temple.

Nicolasio hurriedly buried his head on the ground.

Blasio, who was listening quietly by his side, clicked his tongue inside.

The pope’s madness has long crossed the line.

He gave the title of a saint to Leblaine Dubblede, who messed up the Great Gate, and lowered the status of the Neliard Church. Also…

“Sa-, please save me. Please save me…”

Cardinal Ridalante, who attacked Leblaine, died in a terrible way.

Although the temple was said to have killed countless people in the dark, they wouldn’t do it so visibly.

However, the pope brutally killed Ridalante in front of all the cardinals, the 21 priest of the Central Temple and many more.

That was a warning.

A warning to never again touch Leblaine, the pope’s Meria.

‘He must be crazy.’

After it was revealed that Leblnaine was Lisette’s daughter, the pope gradually changed, and after taking away the power of God inherent in Mina’s body, he became a complete maniac.

At this rate, they cannot guarantee the temple’s future.

‘We only had a chance to revive it.’

He had to calm down the pope as soon as possible. To do so, he had to get his hands on Leblaine Dubledde. The pope is at least stable by her side.

Blasio opened his mouth.

“Isn’t Duke Dubblede in the Imperial Palace?”

The bloodshot eyes of the pope gleamed.

“Ah, yes. He was there.”

Leblaine would have to react to the bait of the Duke Dubblede.

Blasio raised his head.

“As soon as the sun rises, I will request the Imperial Palace to guide the Duke of Dubblede.”

“No, right now.”

“But, Your Majesty-”

“Bring the Duke of Dubblede. Hurry!”

“……Yes.”

Blasio couldn’t help but lowered his head.

Cardinals and priests left the prison. Nicolasio quickly followed Blasio.

“Are you really going to visit the Imperial Palace right now?”

“Isn’t that what he ordered?”

“Regent Andre must have been very offended. Didn’t he send him back again today as if he were kicking him out?”

“The priority is to calm His Holiness. The pope maintains the power of God with an unselected body. We can’t predict what will happen if he doesn’t calm down.”

“…….”

Two other cardinals, including Nicolasio, looked at each other firmly.

There are only three cardinals left among the nine cardinals.

In the central temple, most people stepped down due to damage from the battle against Dubblede.

In addition, now that the child of fate has lost, the only one to believe was the pope.

The cardinals had many worries.

***

The cardinals immediately visited the imperial palace.

Andre, who woke up with the appearance of uninvited guests, was offended as expected.

The cardinals bowed to the regent Andre.

“Forgive me for the rudeness, Your Majesty.”

“The pope’s arrogance pierces the sky!”

“I’m sorry.”

“Let’s listen to it. What kind of urgent matter is this that you came into the Imperial Palace at dawn?”

Blasio gulped and slowly opened his mouth.

“The saint has escaped.”

“Saint? You mean Leblaine Dubblede?”

“That’s right.”

Andre burst out laughing as if it was ridiculous.

“It’s just that. It’s only that-!”

Nicolasio said urgently.

“Your Majesty, you have to understand the situation properly. One saint divided the empire and the temple. She could threaten you in the future……!”

Bang-!

Andre slammed the glass on the table.

“I have the emperor’s gold crown in my hand. I am the emperor. But who dares to threaten me!”

“…….”

“So, what should I do? Are you telling me to run away because that girl can threaten me?”

“…We need a way to capture the saint. Give us the Duke of Dubblede.”

“Impossible.”

“Your Majesty!”

“If that’s what you want, tell the pope to come and kiss the top of my feet.”

“How could you say such a thing…!”

The cardinals looked at Andre with bewildered look.

It was then.

“What’s going on?”

The door to the drawing room opened and Empress Yvonne appeared.

“Mother.”

“What’s causing the commotion this morning?”

“…The pride of the pope is too much. He’s asking them to wake up the regent at dawn and give them the Duke of Dubblede.”

“What?”.

Empress Yvonne frowned and looked at the cardinals.

“If you have a request, you must follow the procedure. What rudeness is this?”

When Empress Yvonne joined in as well, the cardinals pursed their lips as if in trouble. Blasio came out.

“The pope told us to do so.”

Empress Yvonne’s eyes became sharp at once.

“Is there anyone in this empire who dares to give orders to the regent?”

“Empress…”

“Now that His Majesty the Emperor is lying down, Andre is the emperor-”

“It’s okay if it’s the first prince.”

“……!”

The empress was speechless, and Prince Andre’s expression turned violent in an instant.

“How dare you say something like that…!”

“There is one thing the prince must not forget. Who made the prince a regent?”

“You dare…!”

“We have the second prince in our hands.”

“……What?”

“If you give us the Duke of Dubblede, we’ll continue to be on the same boat. But if your Majesty disagrees with the pope’s order, we cannot guarantee an alliance.”

“This person……!!”

Andre, who was agitated, pulled out the sword that was leaning on the table.

“Andre!!”

The empress said as she embraced her son’s arm.

“Are you saying we have to put up with them, mother?”

“Go away now.”

“But…!”

“Disposing of Adrian comes first.”

“…God damn it!”

After Andre had barely calmed down, the empress looked at the cardinals, breathing heavily.

“Instead of taking the Duke of Dubblede, hand over the second prince.”

“It is up to the will of the pope.”

“We’ve yielded enough. Give me at least one of Adrian’s arms.”

“I will convey the will of the empress well to the pope.”

The cardinals stepped back with their heads down.

After they left the drawing room, Andre let out a loud shout of resentment.

The empress was able to leave the room only after stopping her son.

Returning to her palace, she collapsed to a chair and grabbed her forehead.

The maid of her palace spoke up.

“I’ll bring you a tea that calms your mind and body.”

“Tea is fine. Go and give orders to the dungeon. Guide the Duke of Dubblede to the cardinals-”

“Are you sure you want to?”

“……What?”

“When I visited the vatican yesterday, I heard this and that from Priest Lucia. They said the pope’s obsession with Lady Dubblede is serious.”

“Huh?”

“Then it must be for Lady Dubblede, and Lady Dubblede’s weakness is her father. In other words, Duke Dubblede is like the pope’s weakness.”

“…….”

“I wonder if you can pass on the weakness of the temple you have just held…”

“What do you mean?”

“Do not give it.”

“Is there any other way?”

The maid whispered to Empress Yvonne.

“Say that he died because he couldn’t endure hardship.”

“……!”

“I’ll get a body that looks like Duke Dubblede.”

Empress Yvonne’s eyes widened.

“There was a way.”

“Shall we search for the body?”

“Yes, hide the Duke Dubblede in a secret place. That’s right. Cecilia’s Palace would be nice. There’s no one there, so if we hide it there, we won’t get caught.”

“Yes.”

The maid hastily moved. When she grabbed her doorknob, the empress asked.

“But who are you?”

“I moved from Deglid’s Palace. I have admired Empress Yvonne, so I looked for a chance to move.”

“I don’t hate smart people. What’s your name?”

The maid, who turned towards the empress, lowered her head.

“My name is Seria Hope.”

“Seria…”

The empress smiled brightly.

“I’ll remember it.”

Once again, the maid, who bowed her head, hurriedly left the door.

After reaching a deserted place, she took out the communication device.

“I swayed the empress as you commanded.”

[Good job, Seria.]

“I’ll escort him out soon, lady.”

[Yes.]

With this, Lebaine took the first step in revenge.

***

The siblings couldn’t leave the study even after dawn waiting for Seria’s next call.

By the time the clock pointed to nine o’clock, the communication device rang. I connected the call right away.

“How is it?”

[He was safely moved to Cecilia Palace.]

“How’s dad?”

[His condition is not good. It’s too much to escape from the imperial palace]

Henry said.

“I know a court doctor. Find Bernard at the medical center.”

[Yes, young master. In the morning, I will secretly bring him to Cecilia’s Palace.]

“Send an escape signal when he have recovered enough to move.”

[Yes.]

The call was cut off.

I sighed heavily.

The place where my dad is at was the place where I kidnapped the Duke of Amity.

Medical equipment was secretly put underground to save the Duke of Amity, who had been hurt by excessive escape attempts.

If she take the doctor inside safely, he will be able to treat my dad.

I looked at my brothers.

“Now we have to prepare for a full-scale battle. How’s the estate?”

Isaac clicked his tongue and said.

“Aunt and the chairman are in the territory, but the imperial family, temples, and nearby lords surround our territory.”

“Can’t you use the teleportation scroll to give them army?”

Henry shook his head.

“A total of 200 people, including the priests of the temple, court mages, and mage belonging to each family, surround Dubblede. It’s too much.”

Isaac’s face wrinkled badly. He murmured, leaning deeply against the back of the sofa.

“It would be worth a try if only the mages were torn apart.”

“Huh?”

I opened my eyes and Isaac shrugged.

“They made a crude barrier in a day. Because it was hurriedly made, the mages stand like pillars with the formula engraved on their bodies instead of the maintenance device.”

“Then…….”

“Yes, the problem is that the army is protecting those mages with an iron wall.”

Then, if the mages replaced the maintenance device, they couldn’t do it just as Isaac said.

At that moment, the light bulb in my head lit up.

As I laughed, Isaac and Henry looked at me with strange expressions.

“Leblaine?”

“What is that insidious expression?”

A faint smile appeared on Johann’s lips.

“It seems that the youngest has think of something again.”

“That’s right!”

When I pointed at Johann and said, the three brothers had an insidious smile just like me.

Henry said,

“Okay then, give me an order. Princess.”

Henry would be the only one who suit such a sarcastic remark.

“Okay. Then the princess will order.”

Isaac put on an absurd expression on his face, but I shamelessly raised my head, saying, ‘I’ll be a princess when we get independent after this anyway.’

And I looked at my brothers, servants, and Nos.

“Organize an army with the most elite soldiers in the island. Go to the territory.”

“Although it is inferior to the barrier of the territory, the temple and the imperial family have also made barriers in the mansion.”

“That’s not a problem.”

“Huh?”

“Come on, move!”

The vassals looked puzzled, but for now, they selected the soldiers according to my standard.

Most of them were mages from Irie.

A total of 20 knights were used for the army, and the rest of the knights were forced to defend the mansion with Johann.

We left with the army.

The holy knights who felt an unusual atmosphere came running.

“I told you not to do anything suspicious- Lady Dubblede!”

The expression of the holy knight who saw me was astonished.

When the man, who seemed to be the captain, nodded to the knights, the knights approached me.

At the same time, Isaac and Johann used aura and Henry unleashed magic

Grgrgr-!

As a violent force raged, the barrier shook violently.

Seeing the bewildered holy knights, I smiled.

“Did you think we couldn’t break the barrier?”

Because my dad’s body and mine, who were hostages, disappeared, there would be no more hostages.

Bang-!!

With a sharp sound, the shape of the barrier in the air appeared at a glance and disappeared.

It was a sign that the barrier was broken.

Me, Henry, and Isaac looked at Johann. After seeing Johann nod, I tore the teleportation scroll.

A dazzling light enveloped our bodies. And when I opened my eyes, I could see the border of the Dubblede territory in the distance.

The vassal who was traveling with us asked,

“What are we going to do now?”

“Huh? We’re going to play.”

“…Pardon?”

“I’m going to make fun of them. Until they get mad and everyone rushes in.”

The vassal opened his mouth, and Isaac also raised his voice, “What?”

Henry squinted and soon nodded.

“Aha.”

As expected of Henry.

He’s quick-witted.

I explained the operation to the knights.

The order is as follows.

1. Teasing.

2. Run away when the opponent attacks.

3. Go and tease them again.

4. If the opponent attacks again, we run away.

5. Teasing again.

6. Stand by when angry opponents flock.

I smiled and raised my arms.

“Then go and have fun with everyone!”

The knights were surprised for a while, but when Henry nodded, they were forced to move toward the enemy.

I kept an eye on the situation with a magic tool that I had brought in advance.

The enemies quickly noticed the approach of the Dubblede knights.

The knights hesitated.

“Y-you dogs of the temple.”

“Y-yes. Dogs.”

I gave the knights a loudspeaker in advance.

The performance of Veronica’s special magic tool is great, so we can probably hear their voices in the Dubblede’s Territory.

The enemy was angry.

Come to think of it, it was Constantine, the eldest son of Count Brivi, who commanded the enemy.

Count Brivi himself didn’t like Dubblede so much, so when the game turned upside down, he must have stuck to the temple.

“That’s great loyalty. Are you going to have a protest asking me to kill you on behalf of your master?”

They laughed at Constantine’s words.

Then the expressions of the Dubblede knights, who had previously looked awkward, changed at once.

“It’s amazing to know that migratory birds who are busy sticking here and there know the word loyal!”

This time, the Dubblede Knights laughed.

Constantine smirked.

“We were just judging the situation coldly while the ignorant people were playing with Dubblede’s fraud!”

“Yes, you’re trying hard to pretend you’re not a migratory bird!”

“What?!”

“Oh my. It seems that the son of Neliard was offended. Then, why don’t you go and tell your handsome pope?”

“This bastard!”

“His Hwoliness, Duwbledde bwastard dared to mock us. Please defend us~ (His Holiness, Dubblede bastards dared to mock us. Please defend us~)

They must have been shy at first, but now, they showed enthusiasm for ridiculing them.

‘Actually, they must have been the masters of sarcasm!’

I was so moved that I applauded enthusiastically.

Awesome.They’re another version of Emeline.

Constantine trembled.

“You guys dare! Dare!”

“This year’s fruit fly is… how dare you! How dare you! Oh, excuse me, I mistook you for it because you stick too well to the dirt.”

The Dubblede Knights chuckled.

The enemy soldiers were enraged as expected. Constantine rushed toward the Dubblede knights as he shouted, “Catch them!”

As soon as they ran, the Dubblede knights tore the teleportation scroll and disappeared.

Constantine missed them.

“Damn!”

Nice job.

“Are you looking for us?”

“What are you so agitated about? Strip your hair.”

“Oh my. How worried the lord must have been about whether baldness would be inherited or not.”

“Yes, there’s nothing as cruel as saying baldness is inherited.”

The Dubblede soldiers, who went not far away from them and reappeared, teased them again.

Constantine lost his reason.

“Mages! Spread the barrier to prevent them from moving!”

“We have no energy left. Calm down-”

“Charge! Bring those bastards to me right now!”

The enemy troops charged countless times at the commander’s words, but the Dubblede’s soldiers disappeared again.

Constantine was out of breath.

The Dubblede’s knights reappeared about five minutes later. When one of our knights pulled out the sword, our allies quickly dissuaded him.

“Put the sword in! What if they are scared and faint? Everyone must be confused!”

“There’s no way these armored guys would faint when we pulled out our swords.”

“No matter how stupid they are, they know that if they fight us, their limbs will be cut in seconds.”

“Sir Constantine, as a hair loss comrade, I would like to express my sincere condolences. How hard has it been to lead the people with the disease of hair loss?”

They’re not only similar to Emeline. They must be the upgraded version of Emeline!

I wondered how they would be like Emeline, who grew up in the back alley, but when I think about it, it was understandable.

Dubblede selects soldiers regardless of their status. Talented people who grew up in the back alleys often volunteered to serve in the military not to starve to death.

‘Aha.’

Enemies flocked while I smiled.

This time, they never thought they’d miss the Dubblede’s knights.

A huge number of soldiers gathered at the north gate. A number of mages are also included to prevent teleportation.

‘Okay, that’s enough.’

I moved in front of our soldiers with my brothers.

Constantine and the enemy were astonished.

“You, you…!”

When the enemies were surprised by my appearance, Constantine shouted.

“Don’t be afraid! The pope said that the girl has lost her divine power for a long time. She can’t summon a devil!”

When they realized I couldn’t summon devils, the faces of the enemies changed.

Then they try to rush towards us all at once.

Me and Henry tore the scroll and threw it at them.

Light surrounded the people.

To be exact, not at our people, but our enemies.

“Let me introduce the new product of Dubblede. An improved model.”

I used the same scroll that moved Mina to the vacant lot.

I said “Goodbye!” and waved cheerfully.

After that, I disappeared.

I said while looking at the majestic Dubblede’s door.

My voice rang loudly through Veronica’s special loudspeaker.

“Open the door. The master has come.”

Did you think I couldn’t do anything without the devil?

At first, I went through all the crises on my own.

My best weapon is me, not the devil.

‘I’ll come soon. Adrian.’

This time I will save you.
