The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Don't Hate Me !!! (4)

He has black hair and soft eyes.

His hands were full of calluses and wounds. Duke Amity was still just like his memories.

'Why is this person here .......'

I knew we would run to each other someday. But I didn't know it would be like this. I couldn't move, I just stared blankly, as she bent one knee and looked at me.

"Are you okay?"

“…….”

"Let me see."

A big hand came to my cheek as I closed my eyes tightly.

“Do not touch my daughter.”

There was a familiar voice behind me. When I saw her, I ran towards her and hugged her.

"Theodor."

"I'm not saying you can call my name, Mr. Amity."

The two glare at each other.

"You still don't have manners."

"You remember useless things."

The two never got along since birth. The Amity family was the most honorable among the founding families. He was called the emperor's shield for generations and the hero who defended the empire.

On the other hand, the Dubbled family used the money to earn their title. In the early days of the Empire, when the country was in a difficult situation, their ancestors, who were in business, donated money to the imperial family and received titles. Even now, some nobles still look down on us.

Therefore, the two are very incompatible. Their personalities are also very different.

If Duke Amity is the embodiment of justice, my father is the embodiment of selfishness.

In the end, both of them were destined to become enemies.

"And they think so too."

"Why are you here? There is no way you will attend a charity event today.”

"Am I obligated to report my schedule to you?"

"You still have the talent to piss me off."

“It looks like you still have the talent to offend people.”

They kept glaring at each other sharply as I stuck in the middle.

I came out of my father's arms, grabbed his pants and said,

"Let's go. Okay?"

“…….”

Father frowned for a moment, but walked without any further interaction with Duke Amity.

"Thank God there won't be a fight here."

I grabbed my father's hand and asked him as I walked.

"What brings you here?"

My father, who was looking around, lowered his voice and said,

“The man.. Duke Amity came to the capital because there was a charity event in the shopping district.”.

Duke Amity had never actually attended a gathering of nobles, but had always participated in events for commoners.

"He was afraid I'd meet him."

"I'm a little surprised, but it's okay."

"Didn't you see him often in your second life and third life?"

"Yes. Only in my first life, because of me.Oh, it was also because I had to get an education in the church.”.

Unlike my father, Duke Amity had strong support behind him even though he didn't go to the capital often.

The first reason was that the emperor believed him like a brother.

The Emperor was anxious about not being able to bring him to the capital, so he wanted to entrust him with the heavy duty as soon as he arrived at the capital.

The second reason is public sentiment.

He is a witness of the saying, "The power of nobility comes from the people."

When something happened to Duke Amity, public sentiment fluctuated, and the nobles were unable to touch it. Instead, there were many nobles who wanted to use Duke Amity for public sentiment.

'The 'Duke of Amity is a folk hero.......'

That time.

“Small phone!”

A middle-aged woman ran towards him. That's Ferma, Duke Amity's only servant.

He bowed his head to my father and gave me a few bottles of medicine.

"Duke Amity said that he apologized for being careless and bumping into you."

Vincent Amity is a man like this.

He is more generous to children and the weak.

He is a man of good principles.

It was his pride, and I admired him for that.

He was my first father who wanted me to hate but couldn't. Because he loved me with all his heart.

I reached out to retrieve the medicine bottle from Ferma.

"Tell him accept-"

“Tell him I'll take care of my daughter. No need to do such useless things.”

When my father pulled me away, Lea ran quickly and picked up the ointment.

“Duke Amity has given him a secret ointment that has been passed down from generation to generation. Please help my lord-" said Ferma with an awkward look.

"There's a lot of drugs in Dubbled as well."

Ferma frowned at Lea's reply. The two glared at each other, so I immediately stepped in.

"I can use both!"

Ferma's face brightened when I said that.

"I'll apply the ointment from Dubbled today."

Lea smiled brightly.

I put two ointments into my pocket and pulled Lea's sleeve.

"Let's go!"

The old Lea looked at Ferma replied, "Yes." and stepped back.

'I should try not to make the Dubbled people meet the Amity people.'

If something happens, we can go to war.

I decided and took a deep breath.

***

My father brought me to the nearby mercenary guild of hope and expelled Lea and the Dubbled people so that I could deal with the people from the mercenary union of hope more easily.

"I feel so grateful to him."

I grinned as I walked into the office in the mercenary union of hope through the secret passageway.

“You've arrived?”

“Seria, here it is!”

“I have a lot to tell... huh?”.

I widened my eyes when I saw people standing awkwardly behind Seria.

"With so many choices…?"

“Yes, they are my brothers. They are very smart kids, so they have helped me with some work. Say hello, Hans, Duke, Seto.”

Hans, Duke, Seto

…One two three?*

*TL Note: Their names are like one, two and three in Korean: hana, dul, set.(Note from TL translated into English)

I looked at her in disbelief as Seria smiled brightly.

Seria changed their name when they entered the mercenary guild of hope, but the sense of naming Seria must have been very bad…

"But Seria, why did you bring them here?"

Seria smiled bitterly.

“I don't have many brothers anymore, and I need a lot of money to raise them.I'll be happy if you can keep them working here.”

'Good!'

Actually, I was wondering what I would do if he wanted to leave. I nodded and extended my hand.

“I'm looking forward to it.”

“A, a, we....!”.

The three of them suffered losses. Hans, the eldest of them said,

“You don't need to be too nervous.”

“B, but you're a woman and a noble. Yo, you also saved us and...!”

Seria and I grinned at Hans who was shaking.

"Seria, bring me some snacks for the kids."

"Yes. Waita minute. Getting along well, kids?”

After Seria came out, I spoke to Hans.

“Have you heard about my situation? I have faith because you are the children that Seria brought, but you must not tell anyone who I am. ”

"I swear I won't!"

Hans lifted his collar. There is evidence of an oath that only those who sign a lifetime contract have.

I hardened at once.

"Did the Chairman make you do that?"

"Oh no. We said we'd do it.”

"You don't know anything, that's ......"

"I knew. If I tell anyone who you are, I will die. ”

“But why did you do it? Seria did something dangerous to save you!”

Hans squeezed his pants as I spoke firmly.

“Because I'm grateful. Little miss saved my sisters too. That's why I have to return the favor. ”

“You are..”.

When I breathe

Bumping-!!

I turned to the place where I heard a sharp voice, I saw Duke and Seto, who were pale. Hans jumped to his feet.

"You guys, I told you not to make trouble!"

“I didn't hit……. I just saw it, but it's moving ……. ”

Seto, the youngest of the three, cries. Hans and Duke hurried to pick up the glass with their bare hands.

"Stop stopping!"

I screamed and woke the kids.

“Don't do that because you'll get hurt. Just call someone......Huh?”

This is a famous stone that can recognize suwon.

'Many people have tried to use it but nothing can work, in the end it is just a stone .......'

It was beautiful, but it was useless. However, the people mined it and sold it as a souvenir to the commoners.

"Is this moving?"

Seto nodded as I asked, and the Duke, who was with him, quickly defended him.

"really. I've seen it too!”

At that time, I remembered a legend about suwon.

[The spirit-loving spirit gives refuge to the young warrior, who hates evil in spring and visits the suwon.]

Young soldier.

......only the young can accept it!

'That's why it reacts to children! Wait, then why didn't he respond to me?'

I am also 9 years old.

Thinking like that, I recalled the phrase "good spirits who love pure souls" and looked at the stone with an annoyed look.

“What does it say that I'm not pure? Ugh.....”.

But then, I won't be young in terms of soul age.

That time,

“Small phone!”

Seria and the chairman entered the room.

"What the hell is going on?"

“A sign has appeared on the farm enus. Great drought sign!”

"Have you? It can't be……."

There are still a few months left before the drought starts.

When I frowned, the Chairman said.

“Maybe because of Marquis Nodelli. We don't know what will come out of the Marquis' mouth about the Marche, so we have to hold it back. He knew what caused the disaster, and no matter what Marche could not let go of Nodelli.”

“Yes, Nodelli has no more diamond mines and is desperate for money, so his eyes will be on the suwon business. He can't let go of Marche's hand.

"What are we doing? If Nodelli does not release Marche's hand, our plan is to extract Marche's information from him....!”.

I grunt and lift myself up.

“It's okay, we got a blessing. Precisely ……. ”

"What?"

"We have this beautiful child." I said as I stroked Seto's plump cheeks.

“……?”

Seria and the chairman looked at each other with confused gazes as I patted Seto on the back.

“Oguogu, darling. Do you want to find suwon with this sister~?”

The red-faced Seto wrapped his hands around his cheeks and nodded blankly.

"Yes brother……."
