The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Destroying Vallua (3)

I'm gonna eat all this ice cream and jelly. Yep!

Back in the room, I sat on the couch.

The chairman, who came to the mansion after speaking to Seria, shook his head with an extremely tired expression.

"Let's find another way."

"How's it?"

The chairman could not answer easily.

If there's any other way, we can't do anything to get the public's attention.

Also, if we get Nogak in a different way, they will pay attention to Dubbled, as well as the church.

It is now deserted because of Adolf's death sentence, but if anything happens, it will be noisier again.

'I still have to avoid contact with the church.'

If they advance, even if I am a Dubbled, war cannot be easily prevented.

'What happened that made Mina use etwal…'

There are a total of six grooves on etwal.

First, overcome the great drought.

Then, stop the witch attacks.

Healing.

Find relics to use in rituals.

Punishing dragons.

'And all that makes Mina called a holy woman.'

I don't know anything else, but I have to find demons or other things that prevent the witches' attacks.

At that time, Mina forged a vast and powerful relationship between the Imperial Witch and the Pope.

If it had been like that, Dubbeds could have been protected during an all-out war with the empire.

“If there is a possibility that Nogak is the right person, I should try my hardest.”

When I said it, the chairman let out a small sigh.

“At a time like this, you're like Dubbled.” blood

“At a time like this?”

"Once you make a decision, you don't look back."

The chairman continued with a smile.

“While you persuade them, I will look for some useful knights in Dubbled.”

I nodded, as the chairman left the room.

***

A few weeks later, the virtual battle notification came out.

Because it is one of the events that are loved by children, the public is very enthusiastic about hearing it.

Henry told me as he sat next to me, after covering me with a blanket.

"There's a rumor that the princes are participating in a virtual battle."

"That's a false rumor."

My aunt took a cup of tea and said.

"Is that so?"

"But rather than the princes, the hyenas of society have something else to be desired."

"What's that?"

“They will get an exclusive guardian for children under 17 years old.”

When Henry smiled, Isaac said with all his heart.

“If they are under 17 years old, that means they want to show off. After all, the imperial family was only blinded by insignificant matters. ”

“Yeah, showing off is not necessarily bad. People always want to look good.”

As my family spoke, I thought of an opportunity to speak.

'This is the time.'

I shouted "Wow!" and clapped.

"I heard it from the women at the godmother's house, and they said that virtual battles were fun."

“This is a loud and spectacular event.”

“It will be worth watching.”

Henry and Isaac spoke.

"Could those who did not participate see?"

“People can watch it in shopping district. While the nobles will gather at the Imperial Palace to see the virtual battle.”

"I understand."

“This is an event that can make their child stand out, so it is fun to watch the nobles prepare themselves desperately. Family winners have the honor of a thousand years.”

I opened my eyes wide as if I didn't know.

"Then we must join!"

henry said with a big smile.

“We cannot participate because we are users of aura.”

"What about me?"

Then, the eyes of the servants who were serving with the family immediately turned towards me.

I laughed with a plain look.

"And I've had nine years."

My father immediately said that I should not participate.

“You can't.”

“But it's good for family. Our knights are very strong, so we can win.”

“Even if it's a virtual battle, sharp weapons are deployed. Some of them are witches. There are many noble children who may be injured and lost.”

“It's okay because I have holy power. I can protect my body.”

"Blaine."

My father called my name when he couldn't scold me. I grabbed my father's arm with my face down.

“We don't have many opportunities to participate. I want to do it!"

My aunt said,“This is a once-four-year event, so you have the chance to participate next time.”

But there is only one chance this year to get the item.

I looked at Henry, Isaac, and Johann with teary eyes.

"Sister…"

Henry smiled sweetly, but avoided answering by holding the teacup. Isaac threw away his gaze awkwardly. Johann didn't say anything as he usually did.

When I accidentally made a pouty face,

“If you want to try it, let's do it with us. From holding wooden swords to knights.you can ask our father for a gift. ” Henry said soothe.

"But it's not a millennium honor to be given by my father."

I stretched my shoulders and said what I had prepared.

“People refer to Dubbeds as a family of criminals. That's not honorable.”

To be honest, I thought it was best to spend more money than a thousand years honor, eat lots of delicious things, and play around, but I tried hard to look pathetic.

Isaac frowned deeply.

“Who said that to you, I'll rip it off..”.

“But I know the truth. My family is so strong and amazing!”

Then, my extremely strong and incredible family made an arrogant face.

“So I want to tell people. We are not criminals, we are only strong.”

“……”

“Dad is an amazing person who did everything to protect us, my aunts and brothers as well.”

He said while making eye contact with me.

“An honor is not worth it. To me, a value more valuable than honor is protecting you, and knowing its value, more important than honor.”

“……”

"So, you don't need to be in danger for the sake of honor."

I can't beat the words of my father, who used to engage in neural warfare with the old nobles.

' Okay. Let's try crying.'

Let's cry and lie on the floor.

I was about to get up from the chair and try hard to remember the posture of the Grand Duke's son lying in the toy store.

My aunt said,“But it would be a great experience for Leblaine.”

My father's cold eyes turned to him, and my brothers looked at my aunt with a disapproving face.

"Do you want to take risks just for an experience?"

As Isaac narrowed his forehead, the aunt put down the teacup and said.

“Henry also says this. Showing off is not necessarily a bad thing.”

“It and this is a different matter..!”

“There are people who want to challenge us, so it would be nice to show off the power of Dubbled.”

'Good job, Auntie!'

I cheered for my aunt excitedly.

“The nobles will be the first to think of this child when they want to defeat us.”

“……”

“Do you not know best when you lost Risette, if she could not do anything when she was cornered?”

Some people dare to kill the Duchess Dubbled, and they will be eyeing the next easiest prey.

I was happy with the unexpected help and gasped when I saw my family.

Johan said,“We can show off his strength in other ways. You don't need to put him in danger. ”

"Henry and Isaac will oppose participation."

“Henry and Isaac—“

“He can protect himself. I believe that's why he can participate. In other words, you don't trust Leblaine.”

“……”

“Why can't you believe it? Because he didn't know how to use an aura like Isaac? Because you think he's not as talented at tactics as Henry, or because he doesn't know how to protect himself?”

Henry and Isaac shouted.

"Auntie…!"

"Auntie!"

Aunt looked at Dad with an indescribable look.

"Establishing safe protection will not help children, Your Majesty."

“……”

“The best parental care is to trust and wait for them to grow.”

Dad touched the handle of the tea cup without saying a word, and I smiled at my aunt.

"I have to call the chairman to get ready."

A total of 20 knights would be deployed to the virtual battle. They are under 17 years old.

The list sent by the chairman ensures 19 people are taking part.

The last one is…

I grinned in my heart.

'Is it time to show him to the world?'
