The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Time to Choose Your Father (13)

I reached into the drawer where Lea put my luggage and thrashed.

“ Geez! "

Surprised, Lea quickly pulled me out of the drawer.

“ What are you doing? ”

“ When was the bag that dad gave me? (Where is the bag that grandfather gave me?)”

“You're looking for a bag? ”

Grandpa, who went with the duke, once brought me a children's bag. It was a peach-colored elephant-shaped bag.

“ The bag is here. ”

Lea looked at me with a curious look on her face when she found the bag and placed it on her shoulder.

But I took it and ran out.

Lea, sorry. This is something I have to do on my own.

'Because I'm getting ready to run away.'

Maybe not, the church pastor will take me. The empress gave me a choice, but if the church insisted strongly, she would side with them as if I had no other choice.

For now, there is no reason to let me stay here and even if the duke is here, he will protest the empress. 'If I was adopted by Vallua, it would be impossible to escape.'

So running away while you were on your way to the capital, you had to escape.

'Dangerous in this body, but if you go to Vallua, you will be persecuted and killed.'

I prefer to choose one with hope. I entered the kitchen and stuck my face out onto the cooking table. The cook, who served the food, smiled and asked.

" What's up, little lady ?"

“ Water, gosh.”

"Yes." Yeah."

"Much."

He poured water into the bottle with the lid and told me it would spill if I brought a lot of water.

“ Towlong put it where. (Please put it here) ”

When I put down my back, the cook laughed and stuffed the water bottle into my bag.

'Water is in.'

Now food.

Food is prepared by skipping a snack. But in an emergency, I still can't take off the candy. The most direct thing to the brain is candy. I used to act like a child when I was tired, sleepy, or hungry until my brain was done growing. So sweets are a must.

I headed to the candy room that Duke gave me. I put candy in my bag.

'One is too little, right?'

'Two are too few..'

One over.

'Yes, I won't say anything with this.'

The elephant got fat when I put it in. The zipper cannot be opened. The bag is too small. I just put thirty sweets in it.

I need to pack a map and clothes. And then the shoes. Lightweight children's shoes will wear out soon and are not suitable for long trips. I'm afraid I just need to put in ten candies. I took the candy out of my bag and went back to my room.

Staring into Lea's eyes, I slipped behind the curtains as she cleaned the room. Then I took out some silver coins hidden in the window.

'1,2,3,4.........11'

I gathered what the followers gave me. When I came out of the preparations, Lea narrowed her eyes at me.

" What are you going to play?"

"No!"

"Hm."

“I didn't pack my bags!”

Lea giggled as I waved my hand wildly to make excuses. But the smile quickly faded. Leah hugged me softly.

“ I think I should let you go..”

“....... ”

"It's an opportunity to grow up in a better environment and be loved by your parents. It'll be good for you."

I bite my lips and curl my hair.

" You'll be happy. You're a fun person, and I'm sure everyone will love you. "

However, Lea smiled as if she had brushed him off quickly. The sound of whispering kept me from crying.

No, Lea.

They don't like me at all. I'd rather swim in the dirt than go!

I thought so, but there was nothing he could do for me, which was only a servant. Any help would only endanger Lea's life.

" Come, let's go read. "

“ Eung .......”.

I nodded and went with Lea to where the servants were waiting. The servants sat me on the sofa.

'What is that?'

Another servant stood by the wall and held something under their hands.

"There's a lot going on lately."

These guys are holding snacks. That was really a good snack.

Today's snack is custard cream. I look forward to the cream I had last week because it was so delicious. The horse riding games we played were fun.

I'm saddened by my memory of Duke Dubbled. Compared to his previous life, this place was heaven. When I think about falling to hell while living in heaven, my eyes water. When I cried, the servants ran in amazement.

" Little lady, why are you crying?"

“Who made my baby cry? Who did that?"

"I'll kick their ass !"

"If I go, I'll never see Leah again."

I'm getting sad and sad! I'm yelling. Maybe because I kept thinking. Nothing can suppress sadness. If only Duke Dubbled were here. Then there must be a faint hope that I might not have to leave.

He might not let me go because he hates the church.

"Why is my baby crying?"

"......"

"Yes? What's problem?"

"I miss the duck!"

I didn't know I'd miss that cold-blooded guy. It made me cry with a red nose.

***

The church pastors have arrived at the dubbled castle. For the past few days, I have been crying. I cried while bathing in warm water, cried while eating snacks, and cried while sleeping.

If you are dragged this way, you will definitely die again. The payback was terrible, my death was unfair, and I was sad because it was unfair.I couldn't stop crying because it was unclear what was to blame.

The servants looked very worried. They looked at me, not knowing what to do after driving me away. There were a lot of items that the Dubbled people took for me.

There are blankets, handkerchiefs, and snacks.

'They're really warm people'

When I remember the smiling priest, the beautiful points of the Dubbled people became clearer. The man who came to pick me up had a sharp ring and a chain-like bracelet around his neck.

" Little lady, are you okay?"

"Yes." Yeah."

“It's very difficult for you to be alone here. ”

“ Not difficult (not difficult) ”

" Don't worry now. We found someone who will raise you with love. Duke Vallua was a famous scholar."

What do you mean: love . The bad guy took care of me with a stick. Moreover, it is not entirely for me that the Church chooses Vallua. Back then, I only chose good friendly families to use.

“I'm not dawtang(i won't come)”

"Let's go"

“Aah!!”

His hands are very rough on me.

" Come on, let's go !" he said while pulling my arm. " It hurts !"

When I shouted out loud, the floater who came out to take me was shocked. As Lea tried to intervene, the butler grabbed her shoulder and shook her head.

"If you do this, you will be cursed by God."

That's not what you can tell a child. And I'm cursed, you know. I shook my head to release his hand.

“ No.”

“Oh! Bad girl will be beaten with whip!”

I really think I lost my arm this time. He dragged me with a stronger force. That's very painful.

" If you're lucky to be adopted by a prestigious family that has produced some great scholars, you should at least show some gratitude. "

Alcohol smell. Appearance leather belt dragging on the floor. The sound of skin cutting through the air.

“ Jack !”

I feel like I'm back in my second life. The priest narrowed his eyes while looking at me panting.

“ A-, what. What's wrong with you? ”

Then

" Remove your hands from my daughter. "

An extremely low and cold voice came from in front of the gate.

'I feel overwhelmed ... ⁇

It was a voice that brought me back to reality when I was overwhelmed by memories. Duke Dubbled interrupted me and the priest.

The confused priest immediately regained his senses and faced the Duke.

"The baby will be entrusted to Duke Vallua."

“Let's discuss again”

“ That's silly!-“

Ring !-

As the priest protested, the Dubbled knight's sword quickly pointed at the priest's neck. In the blink of an eye, the face of a priest surrounded by dozens of swords turned blue. But Duke spoke in a suspicious manner.

" I never let you open your mouth."

"Yeah,...Your Honor,......"

Before long, the duke's gaze slowly descended and reached me.

“ Agh!”

The priest, whose arms were twisted in a strange form, shouted.

"

After she pushed the priest away, she gently lifted me up. I sucked my snot down to my philtrum.

“ Dyuke ..”

He, who lightly rubbed my sobbing cheek, narrowed his eyebrows and said,

“ You are ugly.”

Even if you say it. My tears keep falling

" I have to wash your face ."

He patted my back, hugged me tightly. Then he turned to the castle without hesitation.
