The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Brother Johann ?! (2)

After calling Johann, I stopped.

Elizabeth Nodelli's expression was strange.

He looked at Johann with a dreamy expression on his face, turned his head back towards me and seemed to have been struck by lightning.

"What the hell is going on?"

Johann glanced to the side and said. As soon as her eyes met her, Elizabeth's face flushed like a tomato.

'This .. I think it's that.'

'Should I test it?'

“Yah Nodelli keep save....”.

when I said that, Elizabeth became stiff.

"Save?"

“...... tell me thank you.”

“Why him?”

"I don't know, but brother."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Some time ago, women were talking about marriage, do you have a fiancee?"

"No."

This time Elizabeth's face became brighter.

'I'm right.'

Elizabeth must have had a crush on Johann. Judging from the situation some time ago, I don't think he knew that Johann was my brother.

Elizabeth only started to socialize a year or two ago, when Johann was very busy at the academy, and she did not enter the party that young nobles usually attended.

'But is that taste inherited?

Princess Ingrid went after my father before he got married. His daughter was also enamored of his son, who resembled my father.

And this, this,

'This is a good thing for me!'

I made a very cruel expression inside.

"You know, brother."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Someone said I was an orphan-"

Elizabeth is back stiff.

"Call me impure-"

Elizabeth twisted her skirt tightly with a pale face.

"A disgrace to the nobility"

Elizabeth extended her hand to me, but she pulled back and did not know what to do.

“Who told you that?”

"Nothing, just in case someone says it ..."

“If there is such a person, be sure to tell me.”

"Yes." Yeah."

I said goodbye to Elizabeth, who was stiff, and then went back to the party.

After staying there for about an hour, I went home with my sister at sunset.

"It's a shame."

“See you again, Miss.”

"Be careful again."

Upon receiving an enthusiastic farewell from the women and masters, Elizabeth said, "Ex, excuse me!" Approaching me. When I saw her, she hesitated and barely opened her mouth.

"There's nothing."

"All right."

“…….”

Elizabeth was crying.

***

At the Dubbled mansion after dinner, I was relaxing with my family. I held a pen with a large piece of paper in front of me.

“Why are you writing with old letters?”Isaac said glancing at my letter.

"I want to give it to my godmother."

"Why? It is not used anymore.”

“Old people still use it. He would feel a sense of sincerity if the young Leblaine used it. There is no one who does not like children who try hard for them.” Henry said as he corrected my letter.

Isaac clasped his chin and muttered, "That's annoying."

I write words with hard work, but my joints have not been able to move as smoothly as adults, so my writing is crooked.

Unlike when I was five years old, people could at least recognize the letters I wrote.

"This fucking kid's hand."

Looking at the crooked handwriting with a disapproving look, I scrunched my nose and took out another piece of paper.

"Why? You are done.”

“The writing is not good.”

“Why is it important?”

“At today's party, my godmother said she likes neat handwriting.”

So if I tried to write it sincerely this time, he would praise me even more.

I must not ignore my efforts just because I have taken his heart. My aunt said that we need to feed the meat that was caught steadily to make a strong connection. And I'm a smart kid who can make strong connections.

"All right, Johann's brother?"

Johann nodded as I spoke.

'I thought we were a little closer today!'

I heard a grim voice next to him as he nodded proudly.

“Kakak Johann?”

"Sister?"

Henry and Isaac said it on both sides.

My father's eyes grew a little bigger, and my aunt smiled a little.

“Kak why?”

Well, he's not my brother.

When I looked at him with a puzzled look, Isaac frowned.

"Sister……. I also did not hear it from bocil.”

Javelin's aunt shrugged her shoulders while turning the pages of the book.

“Do you really need to hear it? There were many brothers and sisters in the Empire who did not call each other by that designation. ”

He's correct. Although there were titles used for brothers and sisters in the empire, only ordinary people used 'sisters and brothers'. Since nobles received titles, they naturally summoned them with their titles, also many of them changed their status when they were older, so they usually omitted titles when they were little.

"My mother also called me His Majesty."

Henry's eyes narrowed slightly at my aunt's words.

“But the title is proof that we are close. Why did Marquess Nodelli still call the Emperor his brother in public?”

"Yes! They are siblings with a good relationship!”

'That's right.'

As he nodded casually, Henry and Isaac's eyes seemed to light up even more.

'I feel depressed ....'

I grabbed a pen and paper and slowly lifted myself up as I came out.

***

When Leblaine left, Theodore and Javelin also came out.

Henry and Isaac looked at Johann, who was drinking tea with a relaxed expression on his face.

"What."

"What did you do to the boy?"

"Nothing."

“Then why did the boy mention brother only to you.....!”.

Then, lieutenant Johann approached.

"We have completed the investigation of Lady Nodelli, sir."

"I'll check."

Johann pulled himself up after putting down the teacup. As he left, he stopped and looked at his two younger brothers.

“Leblaine seems to like me better.”

“Why did he call our older brother differently? Well, the kids like us better! ”

Sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind. While his younger siblings were trembling in anger, Johann, who raised the corner of his mouth, left the room leisurely.

Isaac gritted his teeth.

Why do I only have brothers? There is only one child in this family who is beautiful.

"Why does he prefer older brothers?"

Was he angry because he couldn't eat carrots?

Is it good to call him a leak?

Isaac looked at Henry with a frown. Henry did not answer as he usually did.

Henry thought about it too. The fool next to him must have thought of trivial things like carrots, but he actually made a mistake.

Don't tell me he doesn't think of us as family because he was adopted.

“......I don't think he hates us.”

Leblaine is a child who likes and dislikes. He never let anyone he disliked be around him.

However, under the current circumstances, there was no denying that Johann was ahead of the others.

“Isaac.”

"Cooperate?"

"Yes." Yeah."

It was the moment when the second war broke out for Leblaine.

At that time, Leblaine…….

“Why are my ears so itchy?”

“What are your ears itching?! Doctor! Doctor!!”

The panicked servants said that, even though I was fine.

***

I woke my mind that day.

‘Now I have handsome brothers, so let's use them!’

I'm not a good kid who just thinks my brothers are good-looking.I'm a cruel kid who will use everything.

"Chairman."

"Yes, little lady."

“Let's invite the little kids from the abandoned mine owner's family. Start with abandoned mine headed by Nodelli.”

“Do you want them to come all the way here? I'm sure Nodelli's contacted them so they'll be careful. Otherwise, they will try a pull-out to raise the price.”

"Tell them that my brother is coming."

"……Huh?"

I have lived as a beggar in my past life. When a famous handsome poet visits the city, the nobles flock like dogs.

When my older brother comes, the women will come even if they have to jump over the wall.

'Of course, some parents also want Dubbled as their son-in-law.'

"Do you want to throw a party at the mansion?"

“Yeah, I don't think the royals would like it if I rented a salon for a meeting.”

"Then I have to tell you."

"Yes!"

Looking at the clock, it was time for my father to come home soon.

I went down to greet him. But it's weird.

'Why is it so noisy?'

People gathered in that room. Many doctors even entered through the open door.

'What happened. smell of blood.'

When I got down to the first floor, the smell was getting stinging. Right now, I have a feeling that is all-round.

I broke through the crowd.

"Dad……!!"
