The Baby Who Raised the Devil

The Blue Rose (2)

As soon as I tilted my head, my father touched my shoulder.

"I'll take you to the train."

As I turned my gaze, Empress Yvonne's gaze was fixed on me.

Since the Vallua family, who were on the Empress' side had collapsed, a strong alliance was needed for the prince's future.

Dubbled is a family that meets the requirements. Besides, my name has also become famous for virtual battles, so the Empress wants to be on my good side.

It was a situation my father was worried about.

'After all, I knew that Duke Marche was involved in the kidnapping case, so I wouldn't believe them either.'

"Yes!"

After answering my father, I greeted Duke Marche.

"Good bye!"

Duke smiled kindly at me.

"He's a tough grandpa."

It was easier to deal with those who openly showed hostility like the Vallua family.

Duke Marche, an old man with a kind-hearted appearance who seems to be free from sin is a much more difficult enemy.

"All right."

My dad and I headed to the car rental office together.

After hugging me and taking me to the carriage, my father looked back at the guard.

"Look around. Animals that have prey in front of them will not hold back. ”

Words have reached the nobles that they have the power to take over Vallua's property.

"I'll be careful."

The guards' faces were tense.

"Blaine."

"Yes." Yeah."

"If you have to get out of the mansion for now, you must be accompanied."

I'm nodding. After I hugged my father again, the train began.

I greeted my father with a smile and closed the curtains.

I shared what I heard from Duke Vallua with the chairman who was alone with me.

The chief touched his chin after hearing the story.

“Duke Marche..what's the reason?”

"I don't know. But surely he's crazy about power or I have incredible power that I don't know.”

"Hmmm……."

“It could also be Duke Vallua's last attack to antagonize me and Marche.”

The chief raised his eyebrows.

"After all, it's hard to investigate him."

“Just dig up some information.You don't need to move much so Duke Marche realizes it.”

"Why?"

“If it's a kidnapping, he'll definitely want something from me, so I'll have to find out for myself.”

“But don't you still need protection? That's Duke Marche, not anyone else. You have to be extra careful.”

As the chairman said, Duke Marche is different from Duke Vallua's case.

Duke Vallua was the lowest rank among the five dukes, and it was hard to dare to face Dubbled without any help.

Duke Marche is different.

Duke Marche was the father of Empress Yvonne, the father-in-law of the emperor, and the grandfather of the prince's maternal side who was closest to the emperor.

Their accumulated wealth has so far reached Dubbled, has a strong military force based on wealth, and is a treasure trove of outstanding talents that surpasses Dubbled.

“But there is some good news. Although I don't know what he wants, he doesn't move.”

"Huh?"

"He can't attack me."

“……?”

“Duke Marche has many chances to attack me. Especially in virtual battles. But a coward like Duke Vallua could not think of killing me directly in a virtual battle.”

"You mean there's a reason why you shouldn't die?"

"Yes." Yeah."

I pointed at myself with my index finger and continued.

"In other words, the hostage is in my hands."

"How are you going to use the hostages?"

I laughed at the chairman's absurd statement.

"If I could, I'd like to take more than a hostage."

“By the way, you are superior.”

“They didn't know it, but my life wasn't worth much to me. I'll go back in time after I die. It's good business if I can find the bad guys and back off again. ”

I had not expected the time to come when my curse would become so precious.

When I grinned with both hands covering my mouth, the chairman smiled as if he could not stop me.

'He is impatient. But time is on our side.'

Then I'll keep calm until he moves.

***

When I arrived at the mansion, my aunt and brothers were already waiting for me.

"Bocil, did I hear Duke Vallua is dead?"

Isaac grinned.

"It's a good thing you don't have to see that horrible trial."

Henry smiled and stroked my head. Aunty and Johann seemed to agree with Henry, but I tilted my head inside.

'But I don't mind?'

Duke Vallua has performed even more terrifying experiments on me over and over again, why should I be surprised by a mere ordeal?

However, I turned my gaze awkwardly as I did not need to advertise that I was a heartless child for revenge.

“Ya, fine ...”

"Let's go. I had them prepare tea and snacks.”

“Ya!”

I was hungry, so I took off my coat and followed my brothers.

As I sat on the sofa, Henry gave me warm milk tea, and Isaac took a big cake.

I was eating while chatting.

“I think the Emperor is up to something. He held a trial so quickly. ”

“The nobles will gather together to check the authority of the emperor at the trial. And he dreams of strengthening his authority.”

“If he wants to strengthen his authority, there is an easy and simple way. The fight between successors. As did our grandfather.”

Henry gently wiped the cookie crumbs around my mouth and answered Isaac's words.

“That's why he brought second prince Adrian back to the palace. But it won't be easy. Empress Yvonne controlled the Imperial Palace. ”

Johann, sitting still, opened his mouth,

"Auntie, have you noticed the movements of the Imperial Palace?"

"of course. Wh why? Is there something?"

"The Emperor will not miss this opportunity to reduce the power of the Empress."

“So she..the nobles may have involved the Empress because the Vallua family supported her.”

“Yes, The reason why he could not reduce his strength was because many nobles were on the side of Empress Yvonne and Duke Marche. And now the only chance.”

I was lost in thought, chewing on cake.

'Empress ...'

The empress was not just the wife of the emperor or a pet.

Now that polygamy is banned because of church doctrine, it's all for political purposes.

The Empress currently had a similar job as a government official, helping the Emperor rule the empire, while also preparing for the future of the royal family and spreading the royal family's relations.

Even before my decline, the Emperor tried to have a new empress, which always failed because of Empress Yvonne.

"But why don't you go home with a leak?"

“He has something to say. Duke Marche also came in, so I thought he would be home late today.”

“Duke Marche? What the hell's been going on? My dad doesn't like it?”

“Yes, she doesn't like it. He made fun of dad by saying that he was a former blue rose.”

"A funny name."

"She said my father's nickname was the blue rose before."

At that moment, my brothers saw me at once.

My aunt tried to hold back her laughter

"That's right, it's been a long time since I've heard it."

Isaac looked at him and asked,

“What is it? Blue rose, why does she have that embarrassing nickname?”

“It's not comfortable to say it with my own mouth. Leah, why didn't you tell them?"

Lea, who was behind the sofa, smiled awkwardly.

"That's……."

Henry smiled sweetly.

"Tell us."

"Now" Isaac added, even Johann looked at him.

"In the past, the Duke who was popular among women and masters, called" The Three Lords of Flowers."

“Who are the poor people called that?”

“Duke Amity, Duke Grimoire, and master are called so.”

Laura, who was humming beside Lea, raised her hand.

“I know their nicknames. Can I tell you if you don't mind ?! ”

“Ya, continue.”

As Isaac gave his permission, Laura said with a dreamy look.

“Duke Amity is called white lily, Duke Grimoire is called black purple. And mr...!”

"He is called the blue rose ..."

Isaac muttered grimly, Henry raised the corner of his mouth, and Johann raised his eyebrows.

My aunt covered her mouth with a book, but she had a very pleasant appearance.

Meanwhile, I was covered with goosebumps.

***

Theodore returned home.

"Master, the bath is ready."Said the butler while taking off his coat.

"I'll eat first, I'm sure Blaine's waiting, where is he?"

“It .....”

The butler hesitated.

"What happened to Bla-"

"Dad."

"Oh, you're here."

"You're late."

Theodore turned his head and narrowed his brows. His three sons, who usually did not greet him, came out to greet him.

"……What is it."

“This is no big deal.”

“Not a big deal, why are you guys...What smell is this?”

From the side where his sons stood, he could smell the scent of flowers. It also smells very uncomfortable.

This is the scent that makes it avoid the garden in the summer.

A little boy was walking with a flower.

That's Leblain.

Theodore's expression hardened upon seeing the flower.

"Him……."

Blue rose.

The only flower that still makes him angry.

His sons beckoned to Leblaine, who hesitated.

“Come, Nak.”

Theodore looked back at his sons with a frightening look.

"It's a gift from Leblaine."

“For you, Blue Rose.”

His sons turned their heads as their shoulders trembled. Leblaine, who had a bouquet in her hand, saw her father's expression.

Demons.

The devil has arrived here.
