The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Destroying Vallua (9)

Zachary in the preliminary round was clearly different from the other knights.

Those who witnessed the virtual battle told everyone about him, so even those who had never met him would feel a crisis.

That's what happened with Shuheil's army. They're frightened.

"That's understandable."

It was early in the morning and our knights did not even know that Zachary would be deployed.

“Even the wall has ears.”

Zachary said that.

I concur. In society, there is no point in paying attention to others outside the family. There must be someone in the mansion who would gossip.

I was well aware of many rumors from Laura through the other family servants.

Zachary, who came running with a horse, wielded a large spear and dropped the Shuheil knights surrounding the building.

"Be careful!"

He yelled at me. He broke through the window and suddenly took me away.

I looked at him with a silly look.

There was no reason to break the window and save me when nothing happened. Zachary is smart, so there's no way he doesn't know how inefficient and dangerous this is.

I looked at the window, as expected, a new video stone floating in the sky above the building where we were trapped.

'So this.ah, he just wants to look cool.'

I looked at him with cold eyes.

“If only we were here with Lea. you would behave so. Now how are we going to get out!”

“There's a plan.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a roar came from afar and a shout broke out.

“Ahh—! That's the monster from Mount Redgus!”

A giant?

I looked at Zachary in surprise.

“Mount Redgus isn't even inside the virtual battle zone. How is it outside?”

"Of course, I put them inside."

"How's it?"

“I think it must be starving. I've sprayed the monster's favorite pig and chicken blood there.”

“Isn't that against the rules..?”

“We do not carry unauthorized items, and virtual battle rules allow us to use everything in the area, is there something wrong?”

…really so.

“Most importantly, who will object to us, when Duke Dubbled is our support?”

I'm the one who made Duke Dubbled my father, and Zachary took advantage of him.

I shook my head, as Zachary shouted out the window.

"Throwing!"

Our soldiers threw something that looked like a ball towards Shuheil's knight.

Every time the ball exploded, it smelled bloody.

'It's chicken and pig blood!'

The monsters chase the bloody Shuheil, who escapes in a hurry.

Zachary jumped over the window and walked leisurely towards our knight.

On the other hand, Shuheil had to run like crazy to avoid monsters, eventually he was too tired.

There were some knights who tried to face them but they could not.

Something classified as a monster, could not be dealt with with ordinary weapons.

There might be witches there, but it was only natural that witches were weaker in battle than knights. No witch would go alone in a situation where her defenses were completely broken and unprotected.

Our knight giggled and watched Shuheil, who was exhausted by himself.

Since they weren't supposed to die by the rules, I came out to help them.

***

"Oh my God…"

The nobles who were watching them exclaimed.

There is no one who does not focus on the screen.

On the screen, a young woman was making a barrier.

The perfect defense gave Leblaine plenty of time to create a barrier.

"Is it possible to do that at that age?"

The emperor asked the imperial magician. The witch just gulped.

"As far as I know, he's the only one."

The chief calmed down, as someone muttered,

"Child of destiny ..."

She was truly the daughter of a God who would protect the Empire.

Who criticized him for being fake?

Who's the fool that pointed a finger at the kid?

As soon as the barrier appeared in the air, people looked towards the cardinal, who was rising up.

The cardinal's eyes, which had previously looked agitated, trembled.

After whispering a few words, he immediately left. Obviously, the goal is the Vatican. To tell them that the child of destiny they think is fake is the real one.

It was just like what Leblaine had planned.

Leblaine stared at the video rock in the air.

'Now even if I go to war with Vallua, they won't defeat me easily because the church now sees my strength.'

They'll think hard about whether I'm real or fake. Just like they did in my first life.

'While they are confused, I will defeat Vallua.'

Leblaine smiled brightly.

His knights then captured all of Shuheil's knights, who had lost their horses and were tired.

He was officially the youngest winner of the virtual battle.

***

Four days after winning the virtual battle, the 20 knights who participated in the virtual battle with me marched through the places and showed off their dignity.

“Zachary!”

"Zachary the best knight!"

He was most prominent in battle.

People say that he contributed this much but remained humble and sincere even though he was acknowledged.

There are many talented people, but very few stand out. And such people have always been popular. Zachary's popularity soared into the sky.

"I heard it from people."

Zachary closed his mouth when he saw me glaring.

After the march, our knights enjoyed the honor of receiving laurel wreaths from the commander of the Imperial Knight Commander, and I...

"The emergence of a new hero in the empire!"

The emperor instantly crowned me laurel.

He grinned and said to me,

“Come come to the Imperial Palace. I want to talk to you.”

"An honor, Your Majesty!"

I smiled childishly.

After that, they had a party for us.

The party was prepared by my aunt and I could see how luxurious it was only after I entered the place.

'Wow…'

I looked at the rich woman, my aunt, who was standing with a proud expression.

They have super expensive liquor at over 2000 francs per bottle.

"Oh my God, those big chandeliers are so expensive."

It was much more spectacular than most parties.

"Thank you aunt."

My aunt smiled when I told her that.

“Go and have fun.”

When I went further, the noble children who entered before me forgot their dignity and played around. I heard a lot of screams of excitement from them.

'How much did they spend on the party?'

After living in poverty for my three lives, I am not used to this.

However, thanks to spending a lot of money, this place is crowded. Everyone was enjoying the party with joyful expressions on their faces.

Camilla doesn't usually come to parties but this time she does. He also brought women and children close to me.

“Congratulations, Nak.”

My godmother who said that kissed me on the cheek, I kissed her on the back.

"Thank you, godmother!"

The others greeted me.

"Lady!"

"Hello, little lady."

“I haven't seen you in a long time. I'm glad to congratulate you like this.”

Surrounded by sweet young women and children, I wrapped my hands around my red cheeks.

'They're beautiful, well, well ...'

Why are kids my age so funny? I was so happy when a four-year-old boy who still smelled of milk gave me a bouquet of flowers.

“Congratulations.”

"Thank you!"

“Ya.”

'Mur…'

I had fun with my friends at the party.

"But this is not the right time."

Today's destination is Duke Vallua. There must be a reason why he showed his willingness to participate in my party so suddenly.

I'll watch it with eagle eyes…

"Hello Miss."

“Nice to meet you, little miss.”

"Do you remember me?"

A group of boys approached me.

"Will you give me the honor of kissing the back of your hand?"

"You ... sorry?"

While answering casually, I was shocked and looked towards the tall and acne-filled boy like a growing teenager.

'He's Count Deriber's son.'

She is the cousin of Edgar Shuheil, the finalist, and a close friend of Niel Vallua.

Niel has no good friends, Deriber is one of them.

He likes to drink, gamble, and women.

He especially likes women.

“I was so happy to see that battle. My heart has been taken away by you, who look very beautiful.”.

That was when Prince Deriber slowly held my hand.

Chairman in.

Also there are, Johann, Henry, Isaac, and Dad.

They immediately saw me and approached me. They also saw Deriber, who was holding my hand.
