The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Brother Johann ?! (5)

The party was amazing.

It was the first party held in the mansion after the ancestor died, and after Father was attacked, it was to show that Dubbled was not shaken.

“Get rid of champagne. Don't let those who can't control their drinking capacity make a fuss. There is nothing worse than that in a children's meeting.”

“Ya, Mr. Nos.”

“Keep guard outside the mansion. Archers should hide around them, and some people should be placed inside the party.”

"I understand."

Nos and aunt are in charge of security, so I don't have to worry.

My job is to entertain guests.

'The Hadero family had many powerful witches.'

The chief witch Hadelro was a highly educated person, so she probably knew about Suwon.

'The Ragnos family had the largest number of mines among the nobles.'

I can't think that Suwon was just inside an abandoned mine.

Marquis Nodelli bought an abandoned mine because if it was currently mining ore, it might have been found the source of the water, so they made it an option.

"Put a chair for Lady Hadelro and Lady Ragnos on my desk."

"Yes, little lady."

The chairman glanced at me while writing down my words in his notebook.

"Did you know that the followers mentioned Johann's marriage at this morning's meeting?"

"Johan's wedding?"

Usually, if you're a noble, marriage is discussed at my age, so Johann is late.

'So all of a sudden, in this chaotic time when my father was attacked?'

I feel a bad feeling right now. I narrowed my eyes and looked towards the chairman.

“Who is the candidate?”

“Elizabeth Nodelli.”

When I woke up, the chief quickly caught me.

"Where are you going?"

"For dad. Does he want her to marry the daughter of the family that has attacked him? Does that make sense?"

“Think reasonably. If he marries Elizabeth Nodelli, there is no danger of being attacked again. Marquis Nodelli will not attack because his daughter can be held hostage.”

“The followers didn't know that Nodelli was the one who ordered the father attack. But why should she get married?”

“Because Vallua.”

'Armada Vallua.'

Dubbled boasts an undefeated reputation in land combat, but not as much in sea combat.

If we could have a Vallua fleet, Dubbled would be able to conquer naval battles as well.

If Pymon was the best in terms of information, then the best in the empire would be Vallua.

Vallua did not have many soldiers due to his lack of wealth. They only have one-fifth of what the other families have but they monopolize their information so they don't fall behind other families.

“Your Majesty has been attacked, and people are more desperate because of it. By the way, little lady. Do you know what's wrong with Dubbled?”

“...Our relationship with other noble families is not good.”

“Party is now in your hands. We don't have any friends. But Duke Marche is different.”

In the case of Dubbled, most of the problems could be solved with the military and wealth, so there was no need to establish relations with the nobles.

During my father's reign, relations with more families became strained. Because the hostess who acts as a negotiator with other families has long been absent.

“Next month's meeting will determine the owner of Vallua. Seventy percent of the voting nobility supported Duke Marche. ”

“So you need the help of the Nodelli family, who is as good as Marche?”

"Yes. Even if our relationship was bad before, if we had her as a daughter-in-law, they had no choice but to support us for her daughter. Most importantly, no child of the same descent with Elizabeth Nodelli.”

The leader whispered.

“Do you not know, little lady? Given the power advantage, you can't beat Elizabeth Nodelli. Behind him is the imperial family.You have a good relationship with the empress and emperor, but blood is thicker than water. ”

There's nothing wrong with what the chairman said.

Our relationship is based on mutual benefit.

If I go to war with Elizabeth, my hard-earned friendship will be destroyed.

"With a drop of her tears, the empress could become a buffalo, and the emperor would not sit down and watch her suffer."

“So you want me to force Johann to get married?

“That is the burden of those who enjoy luxury.”

"I understand, but I don't."

“Small number.”

Wearing my coat on the chair, I glanced at the chairman.

"I won't do it because I don't feel like I'm going to lose."

I touched the buttons on my coat and said firmly.

“Give one and take one. Dubbled it fair, we're good guys!”

The chairman looked at me dumbfounded.

“Dubbled is good?”

Zachary, who was guarding the door, opened his mouth. Then they raised their ears as if they were hearing nonsense.

"If you're going to use Elizabeth, just until this incident is over."

"I'm surprised you're not Dubbled's blood."

"You know, chief."

"Yes." Yeah."

"I've lived for a long time, nothing good will come to me if I'm good."

When I, a nine-year-old boy, told the chairman who had lived for more than half a century, he laughed.

I shrugged my shoulders relaxed. I'm in the 4th round of my life, and the chairman is in the first round.

“I'll use Johann's name. But I don't want to force her to marry.”

Also, I want to give Elizabeth a little bit of revenge, which calls me an orphan and treats me like a beggar.

"Chairman, go and stop the follower."

“How can I say that? Everyone seems to have agreed with the arrangement with Nodelli.”

“Roll the floor, or threaten them. No matter how you do it, give it all your effort. Now, do it!”

When I shouted cheerfully, the chairman had a tired face.

***

As the party begins, guests begin to enter the park.

"Hello, Miss Dubbled."

"Thank you for coming."

"What did you say? I'm the one who should say thank you ……. ”

With a flushed face, Lady glanced at Henry, who was talking to someone else.

Right now, I am using my brothers because I don't think they will let their children attend, and it is a good choice.

Even those who were not invited tried hard to get the invitation.

'The problem is the little ones Isaac picked up .......'

I can't shake the fear because she might say rude things to the kids because of her personality.

As I heard from Laura, Isaac's followers are generally said to lose a screw in their head. A few women lurked the terrifying Isaac just a year or two ago.

'Please don't shout, Isaac!'

Just in time, the people Isaac picked up started to enter.

"You didn't forget your promise to give me your hair, did you?"

“Do you have missing nails? They often fall during training. If you have it, help me. ”

The young girls around Isaac arrived at the party hall with voracious strides. Isaac frowned.

"okay! This ..... alright, now come in! …please."

He finally shouted but tried to endure it by gritting his teeth.

It was not strange how those young people behaved when they did this every time they met Isaac.

"Hello, Lady Dubbled!"

“I'm glad you invited me!”

"Lady is my benefactor!"

The cheerful young man smiled, held my hand and shook it.

Even I was shocked by Isaac's followers.

“Oh... yes, thank you for coming.”

"What are you talking about. Of course I have to come. Wherever it is, even if it's a gutter! Oh, this is the gift we prepared. ”

The kids gave me a big box.

'Wow…'

The box was full of flowers.

The other girl next to me also gave me a bouquet of flowers and flowers, so I handed them to my maid.

And even the children who came with Henry said, “Oh, we too....” he said with a timid expression, giving the flowers a fancy wrapped.

'Well, usually we get bouquets and flowers at the first party.'

I gave it to the servants again, and looked at the pile of presents under my feet with tired eyes. Laura, who was waiting by my side, muttered with a very excited face.

“What is this tribute war from the fanatics..?!”.

It was the young children who followed Johann who completed what Laura said was a "war of appreciation".

"Please move carefully."

The servants placed a golden statue on the floor, pushing out another reward.

The tall woman, who seemed to be Johann's age, said with a wide smile.

"It's a wreath."

"Aah……. Thank you." Thank you."

"It's nice to meet you..."

The older kids looked at me and smiled.

Laura still approached me and whispered with an excited expression.

“They are members of a group who love Johann! The woman you just spoke to is Miss Alexandra Shevyne.

I-i know.

'Because she was the reason for me to invite Elizabeth.'

Youngest member to join the White Horse Battalion.

And the eldest daughter of Countess Diana Shevyne, illegitimate daughter of King Carlos the Great.

'Unlike Elizabeth, the real princess.'

Of course, the empire did not recognize illegitimate children, so she would not be called a princess, but Alexandra was different.

In the future, she had made many achievements as the captain of the White Horse Battalion and was given the title of a lower-level princess.

“Let's get along well.”

Alexandra reached out her hand and I held her hand as quickly as possible.

“I'm glad Brother Johann has a good acquaintance!"

When I smiled brightly, Alexandra chuckled, "Jeez!" Other followers of Johann also adored me.

“You're much prettier than the rumors. Call me brother comfortably. We call each other sisters. ”

"Sister?"

Johann's followers grinned as I opened my eyes on purpose.

"Don't worry. We are not people looking for a deep connection with Johann.”

“I just admire his dignity.”

I clapped my hands in my heart. They are amazing people, and they will get better in the future.

The future leader of the white horse battalion, the future magician candidate, and the owner of the great merchant guild.

'Thanks to my brothers, I am not trying to make a connection with the power of the future!'

The people at today's party will make up for the only weakness Dubbled has.

'Relationship with the nobles.'

Isn't that the purpose of having a party right now?

That was.

“Small party.”

With a snort, Elizabeth walked into the party.

Looking around the garden, the boy flushed and shouted, "Johann!"

“E, excuse me.. We can't talk much on the train earlier..”.

"Hello, Miss Nodelli."

I approached the boy with a smile. The boy, whose eyes had become stiff, said harshly, "Yes ......."

“It's nice to meet you today.”

"Me?"

"Yes! The followers talked about Lady at the meeting this morning. ”

It is usually associated with marriage when followers mention their name at a meeting.

The maid did not intentionally say which of the three children had a marriage agreement.

Followers of the three brothers stared at Elizabeth with lasers from their eyes at once.

'For this reason.'

For the first time in her life Elizabeth was embarrassed, and I smiled and asked her to shake hands.

'Welcome to the enemy camp.'
