The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Fun Tricking me? (8)

Duke Dubbled's gaze reached Duke Vallua's gaze. After he found out that Duke Vallua brought Mireille to them.

They stared at each other sharply.

***

That night, I opened the gifts and letters I received from tea party guests and sat on the sofa.

The three servants clapped and laughed.

“You must have enjoyed the tea party today.”

“Ya, it's fun.”

They were all polite and kind people. I decided to go to the flower festival with my friends who attended the party when the weather was getting warmer.

'This will be the first time I go out with friends!'

As soon as I got back, I marked the day on the calendar.

'Also, Duchess Vallua's party was ruined.'

If he was the same as before, he would be angry and blame everyone. She would break things here and there and also say to her husband,

'I've been treated like this, what is he doing!'

Suddenly, I could hear many sounds from outside.

The servants opened my door a little, looked at the situation outside and said,

"I think his master's home."

"Then I'll greet him."

"Yes, little lady."

I immediately opened the door and headed to the first floor.

Normally, father would be greeted in the courtyard and heard about the work of the butler.

I grabbed one of the servants and said, 'I,

"Where's dad?"

"He did not receive any greetings and went straight to the study."

"What the hell is going on?"

"Well, she doesn't look okay, but ..."

I immediately ran to my father's study.

'What happened at the meeting?'

The emperor may have done something that made my father angry.

I was about to push the door but then I could hear the conversation.

“Most likely Mireille was bought by Duke Vallua. She was a prostitute who came to the capital because she liked Duke Vallua. That's what I've informed.”

That's my aunt's voice. What I heard after this was Johann's voice.

"Yes, he made a fuss to meet her again, but she was captured by the Duchess, so she was expelled."

He expelled?

'No way, that's him!'

The arrogant whore who came to Vallua's house in my second life.

'Wait, that's ridiculous. I saw it in person. He doesn't look like Mireille!'

She had no resemblance to a prostitute what her appearance or voice was.

She has a mature beauty type, also she has reddish-brown hair and dark green eyes.

They gave him a completely different body, as if they had torn his soul apart and attached it to someone else's body.

'But does that make sense?'

We can change our appearance.

Seria also hid her identity through such magic.

However, the miracle will not last long and cost a huge amount.

Vallua, with financial conditions they can not afford it, and most importantly—

' There's no way that the witch Dubbled and Veronica couldn't recognize him.'

Both of them were the best magicians in the Empire.

They continued their conversation, it was my father's turn to speak,

“A man with a red spot on his hand, which I found through torture, made contact with Duke Vallua.”

At that moment, my communication device blinked.

I took out a communication device. It was Seria's code.

[We caught the tail of the 'customer' who ordered your abduction. He's a man with a red spot on the back of his hand. Judging from the intonation and conversation, it seemed like he was from the capital and from a noble family.]

I'm laughing a little.

It seemed that their bad relationship with Duke Vallua would not end with just a teleportation device.

There was no longer the stupid Leblaine, who could not even defend herself when she was beaten or slandered.

Staring at the communication device, I replied Seria.

[I want you to withdraw all my money, and prepare the troops gathered on the outskirts. Let's get Duke Vallua.]

I took etwalku.

The time has come for me to use the power gained through Pymon.

***

Early in the morning, I went to the peak of hope. The chairman also went with me.

Seria quickly greeted us.

I lay on the sofa groaning.

“The device is fine, but after moving, I had a severe motion sickness ..”

Seria gave me cold water as the chairman patted my back.

“Veronica is undergoing repairs to make it easier for children to move, so please wait.”

I took that cold water.

Then I took a breath and looked at them.

“You've confirmed the story I gave you, haven't you?”

It's quite possible that the "customer" was involved with Duke Vallua.

"Yes." Yeah."

“Good, then let's share what we've collected.”

It is you who issues the documents first.

“Three years ago, Duke Vallua met Mireille. Earlier this year he took her to the capital. His real name is Amber Fleder.”

Then he took out a portrait of Mireille's original appearance and a portrait of a small child.

Seria's face hardened.

“Nicole!”

Seria's hands trembled as she took the portrait of the little boy.

“Nicole?”

“This brother. This is my sister from the orphanage!”

“.....what customers make Mireille?”

He must have bought the children from the orphanage to look similar.

“But other kids..”.

I muttered and the chairman said,

"It takes a lot of experimentation to really move a soul."

“I'll kill them...!!”

Series shouting.

I looked at Seria, she had a grim expression, while hugging a portrait of Nicole.

The chairman grabbed his shoulder.

"Silent. We must act rationally.”

Seria said slowly,

“......I've checked Duke Vallua's asset status. Their warehouse was empty, and he seemed to have borrowed a lot of money from Duke Marche and from others. They wouldn't be able to survive even for three months at the moment. ”

“But if we give up all the production rights and distribution rights of the device to the church, they can recover.”

“.....If Duke Vallua were behind “customer” who bought my brothers, I would never let him live.”

I nodded when I saw Seria's expression.

“I can't miss this opportunity. To end the Vallua.” family

"Do you have an idea?"

I shrugged my shoulders at the chairman's question.

"No?"

"…What?"

“The Vallua family is a family that has a long history of contributing to the nation. That was why he had a strong relationship with other nobles. He had no money now, but he had plenty of land, so it would be settled soon. The imperial family would also not allow war among the powerful families. ”

“……”

“In the end, the only way is to reveal how they made Mireille, but considering Duke Vallua, he's already taken care of everything so he doesn't get caught.”

“You know that well.”

So what am I gonna do?

I grinned and grabbed etwal with a smile on my face.

"If the three of us can't think of a way, we should borrow some other wisdom."

"Huh?"

I gave etwal a little holy power.

Then engulfed in a golden light, a handsome man appeared in the room.

"I'll introduce you to him!"

Both of them were surprised to see a handsome man suddenly appear.

The handsome man with black hair flapping his fan smiled.

"I greet my master."

“Now, lend us your wisdom. How can we attack our enemies?”

The strategist raised his eyebrows as we laughed out loud.

***

The strategist who heard the situation from us folded his fan and nodded.

"Is it so hard to take out a soul and attach it to another body?"

"Yes. Magic that does not exist in this world. How did he do it?”

“We do not know how, but if we are not casters, we can know.”

"…how?"

"If it's something that can't be done with a human hand, it must be the power of someone who isn't human."

The power of those who are not human…

I touched my forehead.

"really so. Therehewas. I didn't think about it at first. ”

"Huh?"

Seria blinked as if she was unsure of what I was talking about.

"Devil."

"What?"

"He called the devil!"

It is now clear why so many children from orphanages are needed.

It's not just about doing experiments. He borrowed demonic power through the souls of children.

I glanced at.

“Then, how to end their family..!”.

"I heard there was a congregation of apostles here."

I thought while covering my red cheeks.

'Good choice!'
