The Baby Who Raised the Devil

The Destruction of Vallua (4)

[If you don't listen to me, you'll be in danger. Didn't you almost die just by blocking my attack?]

He spoke with an arrogant expression on his face, which irritated me.

“Then I will run out of my holy power and go crazy, or wait for me to die.”

[What!!]

"If I call you and die, can you come back?"

[How dare.!].

The devil shuddered when I said it.

That demon is by no means a gentle person like Boone, according to my intuition. But even so when I called out to him, he said [It's nice to meet me.] Then, there must be a desire that I must listen to.

"This makes it clear."

My side that has the upper hand in the relationship with the devil.

Whether they were desperate for a wish like Boone or not interested in the wish itself like Pymon, only I could send them back.

I laughed at the devil.

The devil pretends to be calm.

[Everything in this world is in order. It also makes sense to offer sacrifices when I help those who call me.]

“How about apologizing for making me like this and trying to hurt my family?”

[You fuck-]

"You should apologize instead of saying that."

[...I can't. I won't do it!]

"Okay, let's die together."

The devil looked at me as if he was challenging me to direct the situation to the worst. I didn't avoid his eyes.

“Let's die together. Because I'm not afraid at all.”

[... try.].

"What?"

[I'm sorry.]

He raised his head.

"Tell me you'll never touch the Dubbled family again."

[... Yes.].

He looked at me but repeated what I told him, I said with a smile.

"Okay, don't talk to me now."

[. Why are you doing this to me.]

The devil pouted and asked,

“That's because when you speak, I lose my power... Shut up..”.

I fell asleep on the floor.

'I feel like I'm going to die early ...'

The threat of "mutual death" to the devil is sincere.

I stayed calm in prison, but it was just to convince my family and show that I was okay.

I was actually cornered. Here, it's dangerous if Vallua does anything.

That's why I had no choice but to summon a demon in my worst situation in prison, with little holy power left.

Because I need the help of the devil.

However, cooperation in a trustless relationship only held my ankles.

'I would rather die than mess up this cooperation with the devil.'

That way, at least my family, my people, will avoid this.

The devil, who was looking at me, tried to hide himself.

***

“..... ne.”

“L..”

“Leblain.”

My eyes are swollen and can't open properly. When I rubbed my eyes, something touched my forehead lightly.

'I'm fine…'

And a little weird.

As soon as something touched my forehead, my hot forehead became cold.

I felt so good that I rubbed my cheek on it and whined, "Other ..."

I tried to open my eyes again.

“Set!”

“……!”

Handsome face in front of me…!!

"Adrian?"shouts surprised.

The boy held my hand.

"Yes." Yeah."

"What, why are you here?"

"Your Majesty called me to the palace, and I can feel your energy."

"Mine?"

"Yes, I went here when you passed out so I helped you. ”

I'm staring.

'Is that possible? Huh huh? Then now…'

I felt lighter than before I fainted. My adult thinking seems well preserved. Otherwise, it seemed like I would cry at any moment for fear of being trapped in a dark prison.

I tried to feel my condition when my eyes closed, so I was surprised to see Adrian.

"But what's wrong with you!"

The one that hurts is not me, but Adrian. His face turned pale, and it was likely that he would soon faint.

'Cannot be…'

I immediately took Adrian's sleeve.

"You gave me your sacred power."

“……”

I thought he was better than the others, but I didn't know he had this much power.

This is called "blessing" to give holy power to others. But it was a secret technique passed down by the priest.

“Where did you learn that from? Did the High Priest teach you?”

"No."

"Then how?"

“I just thought I wanted to save you, and be like this. I'm happy."

Adrian laughed so hard that I was amazed.

“Thank God that's a good thing. You fool!”

"……Are you angry?"

"How can you share your holy power like this!"

I also have a divine power with the rank of cardinal. Having a lot of divine power meant that I had a larger tank than the others.

Pouring water into a cup and pouring water into a large tank is different.

Adrian almost died because he used his divine power.

"But I'm glad you're not sick anymore."

“...you are really stupid.”

Adrian laughed again.

'He was like a sickly little boy who usually appeared in the novels my servant had read to me. Wait, this is not the time to think about it.'

I was almost mesmerized by her beauty for a moment, so I said,

“How did you get here? you have no one to help you. ”

"I did what you taught me before."

"Me?"

Adrian nodded.

“Can't be you..”

“Are you tired of living? Are you not afraid of your future? If you are unlucky, it will not end with your limbs being cut off. ”

He must remember the threat I taught him.

I'm nodding.

"Yes yes. Nice work. If there is something you need next time, you can threaten them by looking at the situation.”

"Yes." Yeah."

"By the way, thank you for today."

"Yes." Yeah."

"He's like a puppy."

I could only see a lot of ferocious beasts in the house, so seeing such an innocent puppy made me feel emotional.

He touched my forehead again and said.

"I think you're really okay now."

Then I closed my eyes, and somehow when I remembered Jay, my beggar friend in my last life, I remembered what the older sister who worked at the bakery said,

"The boy touched my heart."

I wondered what he meant, and I thought this was how he felt. I want to protect her and pinch her cheek. Adrian is 4 years older than me in this life.

If they felt this way, it was understandable that we ate a lot of leftover bread at the bakery earlier thanks to Jay.

"Yes yes. It's thanks to you. But back now. That's dangerous."

"What about you?"

"Huh?"

"When did Duke Dubbled come to pick you up?"

"That's…"

“Do you make contact with Trigon? He is in the middle of this situation.”

"How did you know that?"

I was shocked and asked.

It is true that Trigon was the center of this incident.

The focus of the controversy is whether I use defense or attack magic.

However, it depends on his point of view, so my treatment will be decided according to the testimony of Chief Witch Trigon, who is in charge of the imperial court's decision.

"Your Majesty told me."

“Aha.”

I smiled and stroked Adrian's head.

“You're smart. Goody. You have to remember that.”

"Yes……"

“Dad must have been in contact with Trigon. I'll be right out, so don't worry about me.”

I immediately picked up Adrian and pushed him out.

"See you later, Adrian."

“.....Can I call you Blaine?”

"Of course."

I need to establish a good relationship with Adrian, who will be a strong person in the future.

“Because we're friends!”I said with a smile.

“……”

“……?”

"……Yes.Yes."

Adrian muttered in a very slow voice.

“See you again…..Friends.”

I flinched without realizing it.

"He had a sad look in his eyes."

It attracts people's hearts.

***

Leblaine waved her hand until she left the prison completely.

Adrian stared at the door softly even after he left.

"Your majesty."

A man in knight uniform approaches Adrian.

"Trigon's."

When Adrian asked, the man reported his findings in a low voice.

“She was in contact with Dubbled at the church, but she's still keeping her mouth shut. He also spoke to the Cardinal. The scales don't seem to lean towards Dubbled.”

"Or maybe it's a trick to increase the stakes."

“If he seeks riches, Duke Dubbled will end the situation at the last minute.

"Then…"

"Bring Trigon."

"It's not time for you to get in yet."

Adrian slowly turned his gaze towards her.

"I don't want to see him locked up in jail for another day."

"But…"

"Do. If you rebel..”.

Adrian's red eyes were filled with threats.

"Your body will not be whole."

"……Yes.Yes."

Camilla, who was asked by the emperor to keep Adrian said,

“You're so naive in a place full of bad guys. I'm worried."

Plain?

The man laughed.

Adrian was a boy who grew up with a knife. He grew up surrounded by enemies and swords.

No one would dare call Adrian a child if they knew what the 13-year-old was doing secretly.

That night.

The imperial witch looked at Trigon, who was drunk, with anxiety.

“You will be in big trouble. You were so drunk that you couldn't go back to the mansion alone. ”

“Who dares touch me! Even Duke Dubbled and that cardinal dare not do anything to me!”

People try to help him, but Trigon walks alone on the street.

'What the church will give me is 50 million francs. They say if I can do well, they can double the amount, so I'm rich. Rich!'

Duke Dubbled could not even afford to pay how much money he would spend.

He stumbled and felt someone's presence.

"Who is this! Who would dare to follow me?”

Her father's connections gave her the title of head witch, but she wasn't that bad. His senses were not so dull that he knew someone was following him.

As he shouted, those hiding in the street appeared.

"My master has said ..."

"My master called ..."

“My client...”

"Someone…"

"Our master will give you ..."

The assassins stared at each other.

'What, those bastards.'

It's not just one or two.

At least five assassins stared at each other around Trigon.

“What, what, what, what! You guys!"

While Trigon shouted, the assassins checked each other.

"Stay away."

"You guys."

"Do you want to feel my master's strength?"

"My master is someone important!"

“There is no way my client is better!”

While the assassins were arguing, Trigon was confused.

'What is a church, Dubbled? No, there are so many of them…! Let's run away first.'

That time,

Bang out!

Trigon, who was beaten by something, fell down soundlessly.

The killers looked at each other.

"What!"

Something invisible is there.

"Something" muttered softly.

[How dare he use me as an errand boy!]
