The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Brother Johann ?! (9)

I lay down and groan.

The idea of this self-produced drama came about when the tea was already coming in with the cup.

"It's easy to do the stunt because it's already in the teacup, and the empress has chosen a separate teacup for each guest."

"I understand."

I thought at least one of them would try to hurt me.

“The one who is most likely to hurt you is Elizabeth. Isn't it weird that he's gone too long?”

"But how can a child prepare poison?"

"Anyway someone around him will be punished for this."

The society I've been through is a predator's nest. If you loosen your guard, you will definitely be attacked.

'Even if we have no enemies, we must not be careless.'

"Among the guests, either the empress, Elizabeth or the Nodelli family will be suspected."

“If the empress becomes the culprit, Duke Marche will have to give up the property of Vallua to help the empress, and if Marquis Nodelli or Elizabeth is the culprit, there will be a setback in securing Suwon.”

It's helpful that the witch's head, Trigon, is on my side.

Because of him, I will not be caught even if I use holy power in the palace.

I used holy power to mark my teacup if the party went awry after I fainted and the teacup was mixed.

To do so, I had to avoid the eyes of others, so I made butterflies appear in the empress' garden.

'He could even pretend as if I was poisoned by something the inspectors couldn't detect!'

It wasn't difficult to determine the poison Elizabeth had. The only poison that would not be caught during the examination of the imperial palace was the curse that was put into the media.

I laughed and jumped out of bed. The chairman took a long breath.

“I was very surprised when I heard this, do you know?”

“You will get used to it someday. By the way, how's the Nodelli family doing?”

“Marquis Nodelli has been locked up in the oxa. Princess Ingrid was also very angry because she complained about Elizabeth.”

When I heard what he said, my eyes sparkled with joy.

The chief narrowed his brows as if he had not expected this.

“Why did he do that to Elizabeth.

“Tehnya prepared by Audrey.”

“Audrey?”

“Servant empress. He had an affair with Marquis Nodelli”

The chairman frowned.

“He sacrificed his daughter for his lover? What kind of man would do that....!”.

I suddenly pointed at him.

"That's it!"

"What?"

"If Princess Ingrid finds out, can she forgive him?"

“..... Impossible, are you aiming for this?”

Marquis Nodelli, no matter how stupid, he was the head of the family.

Just because she was blinded by love, she would not destroy her family like that.

Maybe he already knew Elizabeth had poison in her hands. So when they find out through search, they won't be punished that much.

“People will definitely think like you, although that's not the case.”

"A shameless man who went crazy and gave up his son."

"Bingo."

I sat on the bed again

“Disgotten if a father gives up their child for an affair. Who will defend the Nodelli Family?”

“Before this happened, Marquis Nodelli reprimanded the nobles under his command due to an incident at your tea party”

We faced each other and raised the corner of our mouths with an evil smile.

“Now we just have to wait and see how Nodelli will fail.”

"Don't we have to think of a way to expose her affair?"

"That's why ......."

The chairman nodded as I lowered my voice and whispered in his ear.

***

"As expected, you're a capable man."

Audrey hugged Marquis Nodelli and kissed her cheeks everywhere.

"But what if the queen is angry?"

"What can he do? Elizabeth had poison in her hands. Fucking Weiss, I saved him because he was useful. How dare he poison my daughter?”

"What are you going to do with him?"

"I sent a knight into his place to twist his neck, but he had already escaped."

When Marquis Nodelli grumbled, Audrey said, “Hmm.....” and nodded.

“But something is strange. As soon as the woman fainted, the emperor found out?…. Are there spies among us??”

"Maybe……."

Audrey hugged Marquis Nodelli's arm and whispered.

“He heard the news so quickly, so there must have been a lot of spies. But it's okay”

“But because of him....”.

“I had to use that spy to my advantage before throwing it away.”

Marquis Nodelli grinned and pinched Audrey's cheek lightly.

"You're sweet.you have a brain and a nice way with the words.”

"That's all?"

“No way, for you I will divorce my wife anytime. If not for that diamond mine.

Then they heard someone's footsteps from a distance.

Audrey quickly moved away from him, and Marquis Nodelli's lieutenant appeared.

"The nobles are gathered in the palace."

"Is it because of Elizabeth?"

"It's true."

The marquis quickly walked out.

***

The Emperor closed his eyes tightly with his head held in one hand.

Marquis Nodelli walked into the room and said,

“There's no way Elizabeth knows. He's only nine years old. He must be kidding.”

"Kidnaissance? Did you just say it was a joke? ”

Isaac and Duke Dubbled, hit the table. Henry blocked them and said,

“See the result, my sister is in this state because of her joke. But, how did that woman poison my own sister?”

"That's……"

“How can we be sure that only that woman poisoned him? The marquis, the princess, or the empress could help. ”

Marquis Nodelli is arrested.

'That 'sneaky guy......!'

He did not forget to drag others.

Dubbled's second son, who was more cunning than a snake, never missed the crack.

'If this continues, I may become entangled.'

"What are you saying! The law states that minors under 12 years of age cannot be tried.”

"He will do so if it is deemed to violate the rights of the empire and the church."

henry said, closing his eyes.

"—That's what the law says."

"What……!"

“It could be considered a crime if he brought poison to the palace. It was also against the Pope's wishes when he tried to poison my little sister, the child of destiny. Elizabeth Nodelli can't avoid punishment.”

The eldest son, Johann continued his sister's words. The empress who was looking at the situation nervously shouted, "Hey, Mr. Dubbled!"

"Shall I tell the church?"

"Are you threatening me?"

“Isn't it clearly mentioned in the oath when Leblaine was adopted? When Leblaine had a problem, Dubbled was able to accept the church's help. His Majesty was present at that time also ”

The Empress was at a loss for words, so Henry Dubbled said,

“We only have three times. First, investigate the party organizers and the guests. If necessary, proceed with the arrest. Second, let our doctor see my sister.”

"What's the third one?"

"If Elizabeth were the only perpetrator, then we would follow the precedents of Count Esla and Marquis Shuheil in the year 31. We're gonna fight them."

“……!”

Everyone is frozen.

After the predecessor of the Shuheil family is killed by the sword of Count Esla, his son continues to compete with Count Esla.

They competed before the emperor, and the defeated Count Esla was beheaded by the neck.

'I, that's ridiculous!'

The Dubbled family including Javelin Ariage are all aura users. So winning against them would be considered impossible.

“Your Majesty!”

If they compete, they will die.

The Emperor looked at Duke Dubbled unhappily.

"I don't think you should go that far."

“One day, I asked you not to get me cornered. Today you crossed the line.”

Duke Dubbled's eyes flashed dangerously.

"I'm not sure how far I'll go if you cross the line."

"This bastard."

The Emperor could not say anything, even if the child he cared about would be punished.

'She is the child of destiny so I can't decide anything carelessly .......'

The emperor nodded reluctantly.

Marquis Nodelli's face turned pale.

The nobles gathered in the palace exchanged glances.

'Marquis can't even save his son now'

"I have to tie the empress up somehow."

'That way, Duke Marche will come forward to resolve the matter.'

At that time, at the empress' palace.

"Please calm down, empress."

“What does my father do at a time like this?!”

“…….”

The Empress looked at Jean Theresa, a servant who narrowed her eyebrows without saying a word.

"Why shut up? What did my dad do?”

“…….”

"There!"

“She met Marquis Nodelli.”

"What's? Why did he even meet her!”

The queen bit her lips tightly.

"Why……."

Just then, a servant ran into the room.

"Empress!!"
