The Baby Who Raised the Devil

The Destruction of Vallua (1)

The face of Duke Vallua, who confirmed the document, was pale. He immediately threw away the papers and shook my shoulders violently.

“Duke Dubbled! Is he going to destroy my family?!”

I could feel the sharp glare from the bushes. Zachary's ready to go.

'Not now. I told you to come out when my life was in danger.'

He clenched his fists and said.

“Do you think I can't handle a small child.!”.

Duke Vallua pushed me. I lost my balance and hit my back against the fountain.

At that moment,

“Small phone!”

The Dubbled Knights, who came running, pointed their swords at Duke Vallua.

"They came sooner than I thought."

I thought they'd notice it as soon as I disappeared, but I didn't know it would be this fast.

'It's a little early, but ...'

All right, let's do it!

I wept.

So that everyone at the party can hear it.

Surprised by the sound, people rushed out. The first person to come was my family.

I acted like a scared little boy.

“Blaine!”

Dad raised his voice. He bent his knees and looked at me while crying.

"What the hell is going on?"

"That hurts!"

Dad's face hardened. Isaac pushed the knights and came to me.

“Did he hit you? Huh uh?!"

I nodded quickly, I showed my red shoulder, and pointed elsewhere as well.

"Here, here and here!"

I was once the king of bluffs.

I smiled viciously on the inside, but I looked scared on the outside. If my beggar friend sees me, they will notice my bluff.

"Oh my God…"

"Duke Vallua drank too much alcohol ..."

"He attacked a child?"

The guests were shocked and muttered, as my family's expression turned cold.

I turned my body slightly to block Isaac and Duke Vallua.

But, uh,

"Fuck!"

"Auntie!"

My aunt appeared and suddenly caught Duke Vallua.

“Hitting a child? How dare you?”

Oh God.

My aunt is not really holy but she never really crossed the line.

When he heard about the incident where Teramore attacked Henry, I heard that he was in a hurry and meticulously examined my brother's teacher even though they were in the academy.

However, at the party prepared by my aunt, she attacked her nephew, behind my aunt, so it made sense that she was so angry.

Others support it.

'But you can't!'

Duke Vallua was very weak.

All he did in his life was study or do the dirty work. One blow was enough for the aunt, who crossed the wall of life and death as the captain of the White Horse Battalion, to beat him up.

'If he gets beaten up, my plan is...!'

There are already people who are frowning.

They were more amazed to see a noble trying to solve a problem with his fist than a child being attacked.

'There will be a debate from now on. I need to make sure that the public is leaning towards me before my family gets into trouble.'

I quickly wrapped around my aunt's waist.

"Don't hit him!"

“Release, Leblaine! He attacked a child!”

“If you hit Duke Vallua, people will probably say that Dubbled is a family of criminals again!”

The surroundings became quiet as I shouted.

“We didn't do anything wrong, but people thought we were criminals. So, you have to think and act carefully. No matter how hard I try, if my aunt hits the duke now, we will be called villains again. I don't want my family to be bad people.”

“……”

“So now I won't cry even if I get hit. Auntie, don't be mad!”

Then a few soft-hearted women ran towards me.

"Oh my God, so that's what you think."

My godmother bent her knees and made eye contact with me.

"Son, you don't have to worry about such things."

I cried outside, but smiled inside.

The old men looked at Duke Vallua with angry gazes.

Duke Vallua was shocked by the fact that he was caught attacking a child.

“Do you know what the child of destiny told me? If others heard it, they would not be able to control their anger either!”

The godmother hid me behind her back and said to Duke Vallua.

"What did he say?"

“He insulted me by saying harsh words! He also said he lent me money, and he wants to sell us now! He said our family is rubbish. How dare you!”

People were looking at me, so I immediately grabbed the godmother's skirt and shrugged.

"Son, is that true?"

"I don't know what Duke is talking about ..."

Duke Vallua said the same words when he was caught abusing me in the church.

“I don't know what you're talking about. The bruise on the boy's body came from learning to ride a horse.I and my wife were surprised to see the wound and forbade him to ride a horse, but he stole his brother's horse. It's our fault for not being able to watch her carefully, how can I abuse her! you have to say something that makes sense.”

Back then, he blamed me for the scruff marks left on my body, bruises, and even hospital records when I was beaten by him.

"Thanks, I learned something, old man."

I looked around and said.

“I learned investment from the chairman. The chairman told me if I couldn't pay the interest, my house would be taken. He also told me about Duke Vallua.”

“I'm sad if he doesn't have a home. I know that feeling because I used to live in an orphanage. So before Duke Vallua was taken away.”.

“So he told you earlier that Duke might be in trouble.”

"Yes…"

People were staring at Duke Vallua.

He didn't know what to say when I turned the situation around. Right now, people think I'm a laudable kid who thinks of his family but gets attacked when he gets drunk.

Besides, as long as I have my father, he can never do anything.

"Dad…"

I called out to him as he quickly hugged me.

Immediately, Vallua was kicked out, and dragged by the knights.

***

The party ended badly. The guests came home when we returned to the mansion.

The eyes of Dubbled's men became cold after seeing Leblaine, who was asleep in Javelin's lap.

"What are you going to do with that bastard?"

Isaac asked in a fierce voice.

The two dice that rolled on Duke Dubbled's hand stopped.

Henry opened his mouth after covering Leblaine with a blanket.

“It wasn't enough to tear his limbs. I'll dig up her eyeballs and make her beg by kneeling on the floor in front of my little sister.”

Although Henry was a ruthless man, he never showed such anger.

That's because Henry, the victim of the Teramore attack, was well aware.

The attack was not just the literal meaning of the word. It was a shame and shackles that could not be shaken for a lifetime.

Johan said,

“They dare to touch our family in our mansion.”

The boy's eyes became darker.

“We must destroy them so that they cannot even think of aiming for them again, and also destroy their honor.”

Duke Dubbled's eyes shone dangerously in the darkness.

***

When I woke up the next day, the situation outside was quite chaotic.

I scratched my head while wearing pajamas.

"Duke Vallua was robbed...?"

“In the morning, accounting officers Dubbled, Shugon, and administrators, come to them.”

'Shugon is Henry's staff. That must be Henry.'

As expected of Henry. He is quick to handle things.

I laughed and got out of bed.

"Yesterday's attack was a big deal!"

“Is that something to be happy about? There may be more to deal with in the future. ”

"Who cares? They will take care of it cleanly at all times.”

This is one of the best things about being the daughter of a strong family!

Then all I have to do is find evidence that Duke Vallua has created Mireille and summoned the devil.

"Okay, let's see Lane now."

"Yes." Yeah."

We quickly finished the preparations and headed to the Lane mansion.

After visiting Lane's house a few days ago, I realized that I needed a hidden passageway so no one could see me.

So, a secret passageway was built directly into the library of the Lane mansion.

At the end of the hallway, there was a loud conversational sound.

"How can you do this to me?!"

It was the voice of Duchess Vallua.

"Needle? That's ridiculous! It was a gift from you to me!”

“Of course, there are gifts. But I never gave you gambling money.”

"Lied! You tried to trick me from the beginning.You colluded with Dubbled, didn't you? I didn't even make a mistake with you!”

Those words reminded him of something in the past.

"What's my fault for raising something like you?"

'How can the people in that family be so consistent with their words?'

I am gathering my holy power. Immediately, an invisible line appeared, the face of Duchess Vallua, who was pale and crying in front of Lane, visible.

“I didn't do anything wrong!”

He hit me.

He put rotten food in my mouth just because he was angry, and he whipped me when I vomited.

He made me hide in the closet.

He told me to eat moldy bread.

Uh! He also made me sin to breathe, walk, sleep, and live.

I felt my eyes turn red.

The chairman took my hand.

“Small number.”

I barely returned to reality with the warmth I felt at the tip of my finger.

"Your biggest sin is that you think you didn't make a mistake."

When Lane said with a cold expression, Duchess Vallua was shocked.

“Si, Sir. I might be kicked out of the family. My husband, my children, I..!”.

"You shouldn't have believed in others in the first place."

“A, what?!”

“Poor mouse. You must doubt the kindness of others. It is bad for you not to doubt why people do such good for you, when they are not your family.”

“You must doubt the goodwill of others. It is bad for you not to doubt why I did such a favor to you, who is not even my family.”

“……!”

The Duchess sat with a pale face as she sobbed.

Public opinion is on my side, and behind me, I have many strong supporters, I also have power and money in my hands.

“Come we find Nogak.”kataku on the chairman.

I'll show them who the real devil is.

Now it's time to put the evil Vallua under the guillotine.
