The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Don't Hate Me !!! (5)

After learning that Seto could see the stone moving, I immediately found the owner of the mine.

“Baron Eston? Hmm... It seems like I've heard of him somewhere.”

“Do you confuse him with the Esteira family? He dared to come directly to Dubbled and did not quite know the state of the empire to do that.”

Sometimes there were people who dared to be ignorant, and Baron Eston seemed to be that type. I bit the peaches and nodded.

I'm the one who met Baron Eston in person. I think it would be easy to get the job done if it was the chairman.

Until I received Baron Eston's arrogant letter,

A few days later, I grinned when I saw Baron Eston's letter to the chairman.

[It was spring day when you said you were going to buy it. A lot of time has passed. Hurry up and give me a new price.]

Seria, who checked the contents of the letter with me, frowned.

“Perhaps someone called. This confident attitude means he knows the value of mine.”

Not me, the owner of the mercenary guild of hope, who tried to buy the mine, but Dubbled.

People thought it was just the chairman's wish. But Duke Dubbled was also behind him.

'Did he want to take this opportunity to be associated with Dubbled and raise his family status?'

Winning a deal from Dubbled would definitely be a good opportunity to do so.

I peeked at the chairman

He had a relaxed expression as usual. But we've been stuck together for five years so I know that's not the case.

'Baron Eston destroyed ...'

The chairman lifts himself up.

“Please leave it to me. I'll take care of it quickly.”

"Yeah……."

I paid her silent respects.

The chairman is a kind and funny grandfather in front of me, but that doesn't mean I should forget his true nature.

The man was Duke Dubbled's biggest political opponent.

He was the second person from Dubbled, a strong relationship with the church and nobles, he even the senate chairman, Duke Dubbled could not even touch him easily.

"I'll be right back."

I shouted at the chairman who walked out of the door angrily.

“Do not kill him.....!”

The chief lowered his head and closed the door. The explosion! The sound of closure is brutal.

***

A few days later, Baron Eston returned home drunk.

“Now my future is so bright, huh?”

“No need to say that, you are amazing. Now please walk properly. ”

“Everyone is scared in front of Dubbled but I am not! They must be bluffing. I'm superior in this.”

"Yes yes."

Baron Eston is a proud man. He had a grudge against great nobles because even though he had excellent abilities, he was often pushed back just because of his surname.

“This is an opportunity for my name to spread throughout the Empire. People will know how brilliant this Omar Eston is.....!”.

Baron Eston, who entered the house, frowned.

“Why don't they repay me! These jerks.......!!”

When he screamed,

"M, sir."

A servant approached him.

“A guest has arrived.”

“You are not invited! How dare someone disrespect me"

"That's the chairman of the Dubbled senate."

Baron Eston's eyes flashed upon hearing the servant's words.

"Jean Marc Noanoke?"

Then, the acquaintance of the Baron said,

"Look at this, you somehow made that arrogant old man visit you himself."

“But well, he was just a mere follower to the nobles. Where is the old man!"

That time.

“No need to look for me, I'm here”

Someone fell down after the low voice was spoken.

A bloody knight fell under his feet and wriggled with pain.

"Ap, what ..... what are you doing!"

The chief rubbed blood from his fingertips with a handkerchief.

"You are as arrogant as my master."

“I, i…! I will file a complaint with the imperial court! Breaking into a mansion and injuring a soldier, are you crazy?”

The chairman's mouth twisted.

“You stupid man. How can we live sanely against those who are always ready to attack us?”

“Ap, what?”

The chairman moved slowly to Baron Eston.

“I've always lived crazy since birth. Morality, purpose, and trust were left in my mother's womb.”

“S, stay away from me! To the palace right now.....!”.

“Hey, let me ask you.”

The chairman, who approached Baron Eston meticulously, asked.

“Who do you think is faster? Imperial knights take me or I kill you ”

“……!”

"By the time people arrive from the palace, I will leave here, what can you tell them about the corpse?"

“I, the...... it...... No matter what, a Dubbled follower who killed a noble is.......!”.

"I'll ask you one more question."

The chief asked, putting his hand on his shoulder.

"How much have I killed for Dubbled so far?"

“Are you sure you want to join Dubbled? Dubbled is said to be a den of criminals. If there was hell, it would be there. Life is worthless there.”

He remembered what he had heard from someone. The baron turned pale and gulped.

“I, I, I....I mean........”.

Baron Eston, who had turned pale, drowned.

"Save me……."

"Get mine documents."

Baron Eston raised his trembling hand towards the servant.

The waiter ran in a hurry and carried the mine documents. The baron immediately stepped on without a second thought.

When he handed over the documents with trembling hands, the chairman trampled his hands.

“Agh..

"Remember, you are alive today because my gentle master ordered me to save your life."

"Yes yes……. Th, thank you for saving my life. ”

"You'll have to pay back for this good in the future."

The baron could only nod quickly.

***

The chairman gave me the documents after he returned. As usual, he looks like a gentle chairman as if he's not doing anything extreme, but I'm sure that's not the case.

"……what are you doing?"

"The talk worked."

"Suspicious……."

Squinting at the chairman, I received the document, saying, "Alright, okay."

“Prepared Seto. We have to go to mine.”

"Does His Majesty allow it?"

“Take Henry or Isaac. Johann must be busy.”

"Yes, he's in training anyway."

'Good.'

Johann is well-suited as a successor because of his exceptional abilities.

'Johann has grown well.'

“Then, Chairman, arrange the documents. I have to go back to the mansion.”

"Yes." Yeah."

I left the mercenary guild after talking to them.

Someone called me from far away when I was about to go to the train.

“Kak……! No, little miss!”

“Seto?”

I smiled to see the boy running in a hurry.

“Why are you running like that?you will fall. Jesus, your clothes are dirty.”

I gave them clean clothes this morning, but they're dirty. I patted his dusty sleeve.

“G, gift ……. Ah, this flower resembles little lady……. From mount......!”

"Did you take it from the mountain because it looks like me?"

"Yeah……."

Seto nodded timidly.

'Imut cute!'

Why are kids so funny?

I chuckled and carefully placed the wildflowers on my handkerchief.

"thank you. I'll keep it safe.”

Seto's face flushed again.

That time,

"Hi!"

Whahuh?

I frowned hearing a familiar voice and turned my head.

"Hayton's."

“Why didn't you answer my phone?”

"I gave you money."

“It's not about money……. What's that dirty thing?”

Hayton frowned and looked at the flower Seto had given me.

“It's not a dirty thing, it's a flower. I got it as a gift.”

"A bad gift."

Come to think of it, Hayton was also holding a large bouquet of flowers.

"Sister!"

“Leblaine.”

I looked at them, and was astonished.

“Lionels? Adrian ..... no, why are you here? ”

Lionel, who blushed, ran in front of me.

“I know this is a shopping district but ...”.

He was out of breath and sweat covered his forehead.

"Can you get out now?"

"Yes! I'm the son of the Grand Duke now.”

I guess the formalities are over now. I smiled and grabbed Lionel's shoulder.

“Ya, good work. But why are you here?”

“…….”

“Hm?”

"I miss you."

"……Huh?"

As soon as he answered, the atmosphere turned cold.

'No, why are they suddenly here!'
