The Baby Who Raised the Devil

The Blue Rose (1)

Duke Vallua laughed as if he was very pleased and continued,

"She lives without knowing who her parents are, you take away everything she's supposed to have."

“…….”

“This is all your fault.”

He said it as if he was cursing at me.

“You blame me?”

“Theodore and Dubbled families did not give up hope until you were adopted. They were eager to find the fourth child and search for all the resources they had. But this year, after the appearance of a fake, the search was completely stopped.”

“…….”

“If they do not stop the search, they will be able to find the fourth child. Isn't that all your fault?”

“…….”

“She lives. One day he'll come back and take all yours. Only then will you feel it. This despair......!”.

Duke Vallua laughed arrogantly.

“The conference is the place where the five dukes gather. Your father will be there too. What if I told her all this?”

“…….”

“The search will start again and you will be left behind. This time, the original princess will appear and get everything you have back.”

“…….”

"How's that. Are you gonna make me meet Theodore?"

He continued,

"But if you help me escape, I'll cover it all up."

Duke Vallua approached the cage and whispered.

“Your wonderful father, my brothers and your brilliant aunt who gave all their attention to you will then give their every attention to that child. Now son, you only have one chance.”

Right now, my family and my loved ones are popping up in my mind, looking at me with a smile.

With my head down, I muttered helplessly.

"……Yes.Yes."

"Okay, then go ahead and arrest me ......!"

"You're still trash."

"……What?"

I took my hand into the cage and grabbed her collar.

His body, which had long suffered, could not even shake the hands of the children.

"If I'm afraid the fourth child will return, can I kill you here?"

“M, killing is not like the one in virtual battle. Do you think your conscience can handle it?”

"You don't know what I'm capable of, do you?"

“You, you ..!”

“Are you not stupid?”

Duke Vallua stiffened as I spoke with a smile.

I've heard of this kind of threat in my second life.

“The whole world will soon see that you are a fake, because you have not increased your holy power. The Church will surrender to you, and even the Empress will no longer protect you.”

That's how he threatened me and made his wish come true.

'But you think I'll be fooled again?'

“If you kill me, who will be put on trial, you will be chased by the Imperial Knights for the rest of your life. If you get caught, your father can't even save you!”

"Isn't it the same if I let you go?"

"You don't want me to answer your questions anymore."

I smiled sweetly.

“Why did you create and send Mireille? To rock Dubbled? No, if you knew where the fourth child was, you wouldn't make it, but you would threaten with the fourth child as a hostage."

“……!”

"You're going to make the fourth child your hostage, seeing that you don't even blink doing that horrible experiment."

Duke Vallua's eyebrows narrowed. I know because I had the experience of living as her daughter in my second life.

"What I'm curious about is why you chose 'Mireille' as the fourth child."

“…….”

“Mireille's your lover, isn't she? So you know he's not the perfect person to play the fourth child.Why do you have to send the fourth child to be arrested? I wanted to know about it, but I've heard the answer. ”

The words he threatened me were enough to tell me his purpose.

"……What?"

“You want to make me nervous, don't you?”

The stiff man swallowed.

"If I stay under Dubbled's protection, you won't be able to get to me, so you make me nervous so you can destroy me."

When I was a kid, there was a time when someone called a 'customer' tried to kidnap me.

He changed his method because I almost caught him after failing back then.

I laughed at.

“I definitely have something important that I don't know about. There's something that people really want from me that they manipulate you.”

“You evil woman ...”

“There's only one thing I need to hear now. The one who manipulated you, who?”

Duke Vallua flinched and stepped back.

"Do you think I'd say that?"

I smiled brightly.

I can tell without looking in the mirror. I definitely have an expression very similar to that Duke Vallua right now.

Because I learned from seeing her in my second life.

“We have plenty of time. Let's 'experiment' how much pain a person can endure.”

As I glanced at Glasalabolas, Duke Vallua's face turned pale.

There was immediately the smell of blood in the prison, and screams sounded.

Not until Duke Vallua almost vomited did he open his mouth,

“Igor Marche!!”

Empress Yvonne's father and Empress Dowager's cousin.

The name of a man with unparalleled strength that surpassed Dubbled.

I hardened my face, and Duke Vallua crawled away in despair.

“Is that not enough? Save me. Save me…!"

“…….”

"Please…"

“Save me, Dad. Save me!"

I looked at him slowly and told the devil.

“I will realize your wish.you will get such a deep and dark grudge.”

Glasalabolas smiled in a suspicious manner.

I left prison without regret. A desperate scream followed behind me.

Duke Vallua committed suicide before the trial.

Vallua could not avoid the destruction of their family by the church because of that.

However, Hayton and Niel were able to escape the storm because of me.

***

The trial is over. Duke Vallua's body was hung outside, and people even threw stones at him.

“This bad guy. How about kids who have a guy like their dad?”

When Marquis Irosen said that, the nobles gathered for the trial spoke one by one.

“I'm glad the kids didn't see the trial. I bothered to call the children as witnesses. The ordeal was too horrible for the children to see.”

Count Weneth looked at me sitting quietly beside my father.

As the owner of Duchess Vallua's house, I will be present as a witness.

I pretended not to know anything.

"Dad, are we going back to the mansion now?"

"You go back first."

“How about dad?”

"I have something to say with the nobles."

This must be about Duke Vallua.

The Grand Duchy will be taken over by someone because it has been destroyed.

Vallua's influence is not as broad as Dubbeds and Marche, but people will still want it because it is a Grand Duchy.

'Duke Grimoire and Duke Amity can't come here because of the bad weather, so the discussion will be led by Father or Marche.'

I cheered for my dad inside.

If my father owns Vallua property, I'll be able to get in and out easily.

"I need to know what else is there."

Maybe there's something about a fourth kid somewhere.

'No, it's Duke Vallua, he won't believe in people easily. I'm sure he must have a hidden card somewhere. '

I whispered to the chief who was beside me.

“We have to get it.”

"Yes." Yeah."

I said goodbye to my father and left with the chairman.

'Why is Marche after me?'

If it's the church or the imperial family, it makes sense. Because I am the child of destiny.

But I'm a little useless to Duke Marche.

As I walked while worried, I hit someone.

"Ouch!"

"Hi."

As I rubbed my forehead, someone reached out to me.

"Are you okay?"

As I raised my head, an old man with a friendly expression reached out to me.

'Duke Marche!'

It was painful, but soon I relaxed my expression and laughed innocently.

"I'm sorry, Duke."

He laughed as I bowed politely. Behind him was Empress Yvonne and a man in a black hat who appeared to be her lieutenant.

Empress Yvonne introduced me.

"This is Lady Dubbled."

“Ah, son of that destiny. Nice to meet you."

“I've always wanted to meet you.”

"Me?"

"Duke Nos says you're an extraordinary person who's called the Empire's shield."

“Oh,Nos Eugene?”

I grinned and nodded.

"It's a pity that I didn't see him today."

“Do you know Nos?”

When I told him that,

"Blaine."

My father, who saw me from afar, approached me.

"During no meeting, Duke."

"Yes." Yeah."

“You are still as quiet as before.you have not changed. When I first saw your father before, I thought he was a funny guy.”

Empress Yvonne smiled.

“The first time we saw it was on the street, when the women were fighting over 'Three flower kings.'”

“Three flower kings...oh yes, you are a blue rose!”

Blue roses?

I looked at my father with a confused expression, and his expression was scary.

“……?”

Duke Marche laughed out loud.

“Your father was very popular when he was a child. That's how little kids used to call him.”

"Ah……."

As I muttered, Duke Marche continued.

“Princess Ingrid loved you so much before. Oh, she's now Marquis Nodelli's wife.”

I glanced at Dad again, and Dad clenched his fists.

"Stop talking about it in front of my daughter."

'Since it's three flower kings, aren't there two others?'

Who are the other two?
