The Baby Raising A Devil

Chapter 125

TL: Zimming

Duke Vallua laughed as if he was very happy and continued,

“She lives without knowing who her parents are, you’re taking all the things she should’ve had.”

“…….”

“It’s all your fault.”

He said that as if he was cursing me.

“You blame me?”

“Theodore and Dubbled family didn’t let go of hope until you were adopted. They were eager to find the fourth child and se every resources they had. But this year, after the appearance of the fakes, the search completely stopped.”

“…….”

“If they hadn’t stopped the search, they would have been able to find the fourth child. Isn’t it all your fault?”

“…….”

“She is alive. Someday she will come back and take all of your belonging. Only then will you feel it. This desperation……!”

The Duke of Vallua laughed arrogantly.

“The trial is a place where all five dukes gather. Your father will also be there. What if I told him all of this?”

“…….”

“The search will begin again and you’ll be abandoned. This time, the real daughter will show up and get everything you have back.”

“…….”

“How is it. Are you going to make me meet Theodore?”

He continued,

“But if you help me escape, I’ll cover it all up.”

The Duke of Vallua came close to the cage and whispered.

“Your wonderful father, brothers and brilliant aunt who gives all of their attention to you will then give their evry attention to the child. Now child, you only have one chance.”

At the moment, my family and my loved ones appeared in my mind, looking at me while smiling.

With my head down, I murmured helplessly.

“……yes.”

“Okay, then go ahead and get me……!”

“You’re still trash.”

“……what?”

I bring my hand into the cage and grabbed him by the collar.

His body, which had been affected by long agony, couldn’t even shake a child’s hand.

“If I’m afraid of the fourth child coming back, can I kill you here?”

“M, murder is not like the one in virtual battle. Do you think your conscience can handle it?”

“You don’t know what I’m capable of, do you?”

“You, you…!”

“Aren’t you stupid?”

The Duke of Vallua stiffened when I spoke with a smile.

I’ve heard this kind of threat in my second life.

“The whole world will soon see that you are a fake, for you have not yet raised your divine power. The church will give up on you, and even the Empress will no longer protect you.”

That’s how he threatened me and achieved his wish.

‘But you thought I’d be fooled again?’

“If you kill me, who’s about to be tried, you’ll be chased by the Imperial Knight for the rest of your life. If you get caught, your father can’t even save you!”

“Isn’t it the same if I release you?”

“You don’t want me to answer your question anymore.”

I smiled sweetly.

“Why did you make and send Mireille? To shake Dubbled? No, if you knew where the fourth child was, you wouldn’t have made her, but you would have threatened with the fourth child as a hostage.”

“……!”

“You would’ve have made the fourth child your hostage, seeing that you don’t even blink doing those horrible experiment.”

The Duke of Vallua’s brow narrowed. I know because I had experience living as his daughter in my second life.

“What I was curious about is why you chose ‘Mireille’ as the fourth child.”

“…….”

“Mireille was your lover, wasn’t she? So you knew she wasn’t the perfect person to play the fourth child. Why did you have to send the fourth child to get caught? I was curious about that, but I already heard the answer.”

The words he threatened me were enough to tell me the purpose.

“……what?”

“You wanted to make me nervous, didn’t you?”

The stiffened man gulped.

“If I stay under Dubbled’s protection, you won’t be able to get me, so you make me get nervous so you can ruin me.”

When I was a child, there was a time when a person called ‘customer’ tried to kidnap me.

He changed his method because I almost caught him after failing at that time.

I laughed at him.

“I must have something important that I don’t know. There’s something the person desperately want from me that they manipulated you.”

“You wicked woman….”

“There’s only one thing I need to hear now. The one who manipulated you, who?”

The Duke of Vallua flinched and stepped back.

“Do you think I’m going to say that?”

I smiled brightly.

I could know without looking in the mirror. I must have a very similar expression to that Duke of Vallua right now.

Because I learned from seeing him in my second life.

“We have a lot of time. Let’s ‘experiment’ how much pain a person can bear.”

When I glanced at Glashalabolas, the face of Duke Valois turned pale.

Soon there was a smell of blood in the prison, and a scream rang out.

It wasn’t until the Duke of Vallua nearly vomited, that he opened his mouth,

“Igor Marche!!”

Empress Yvonne’s father and cousin of the Empress Dowager.

The name of a man of unparalleled power who transcends Dubbled.

I hardened my face, and the Duke of Vallua crawled away desperately.

“Isn’t that enough? Save me. Save me…!”

“…….”

“Please…”

“Save me, Father. Save me!”

Seeing him like this, it made me remember a scene in my second life of me who was crying desperately while saying that.

I stared at him slowly and told the devil.

“I’ll make your wish come true. You’ll get the grudge that’s so deep and dark.”

Glashalabolas smiled in a fishy way.

I left the prison without regret. A desperate scream followed behind my back.

The Duke of Vallua was disguised as having committed suicide before the trial.

Vallua could not avoid the destruction of their family by the church because of it.

However, Hayton and Niel were able to escape the storm because of me.

***

The trial was over. The corpse of Duke Vallua was hung outside, and people even throw stones at him.

“This wicked person. How are the children who have such a person as their father?”

When the Marquis of Irosen said that, the nobles who gathered for the trial spoke one by one.

“I’m glad the children didn’t see the trial. I was bothered to call the children as witnesses. The trials are too terrible for children to see.”

Count Wenneth looked at me sitting quietly beside my father.

As the owner of the Duchess of Vallua’s mansion, I was going to attend as a witness.

I pretended to know nothing.

“Daddy, are we going back to the mansion now?”

“You go back first.”

“What about dad?”

“I have something to say with the nobles.”

It will be about the Duke of Vallua.

The duchy would have been taken over by someone since it had been destroyed.

The Vallua’s influence were not as wide as the Dubbleds and the Marche, but it people will still want it because it was a duchy.

‘Duke Grimoire and Duke Amity couldn’t come here because of the bad weather, so the discussion will be led by Dad or Marche.’

I cheered for my dad inside.

If my dad owns Vallua’s property, I will be able to enter and exit easily.

‘I need to know what else is there.’

There may be something about the fourth child somewhere.

‘No, it was the Duke of Vallua, he wouldn’t believe in people easily. I’m sure he must have a hidden card somewhere.’

I whispered to the chairman who was beside me.

“We have to get it.”

“Yes.”

I said goodbye to my dad and went out with the chairman.

‘Why did Marche aim for me?’

If it’s the church or the imperial family, it makes sense. Because I am the child of fate.

But I was rather useless for Duke Marche.

As I walked while worrying, I ran into someone.

“Ouch!”

“Hey.”

As I was rubbing my forehead, someone reached out to me.

“Are you okay?”

As I raised my head, an old man with a kind expression reached out to me.

‘Duke Marche!’

It was painful, but soon I relaxed my expression and laughed innocently.

“I’m sorry, Duke.”

He laughed as I bowed politely. Behind him were Empress Yvonne and a man in a black hat who seemed to be his lieutenant.

Empress Yvonne introduced me.

“This is Lady Dubbled.”

“Ah, the child of that fate. Nice to meet you.”

“I had always wanted to meet you.”

“Me?”

“Duke Nos said you’re a wonderful person who was called the shield of the Empire.”

“Oh, Eugene Nos?”

I grinned and nodded.

“It’s a shame that I didn’t meet him today.”

“Do you know Nos?”

When I said that to him,

“Blaine.”

My father, who was looking at me from afar, approached me.

“Long time no see, Duke.”

“Yes.”

“You’re still as quiet as before. You haven’t changed. When I first saw your father before, I thought he was a funny guy.”

Empress Yvonne smiled.

“The first time we saw him is at the streets, when the ladies fight over the ‘Three lords of flower.'”

“Three lords of flower….oh yes, you were the blue rose!”

Blue Rose?

I looked at my dad with a puzzled expression, and his expression was terrifying.

“……?”

The Duke of Marche burst into laughter.

“Your father was very popular when he was young. That’s what young children used to call him.”

“Ah…….”

As I murmured, Duke Marche continued.

“Princess Ingrid loved you so much before. Oh, she’s now the wife of Marquis Nodelli.”

I glanced at Dad again, and Dad clenched his fist.

“Stop talking about it in front of my daughter.”

‘Because it’s three lords of flower, aren’t there two other people?’

Who are the other two?
