The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Let's Get Suwon!! (8)

“Isn't it hard for you to come? Oh, oh I can see you're all grown up. I am proud, yet also feel sad at the same time.”

Since when did he keep me like that?

I grabbed the edge of my skirt, hiding my ridiculous innermost thoughts. After lightly bending my knees, I replied in a cheerful voice.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

“Why are you thanking me?”

“Your Majesty, the father of the empire, is keeping the empire well so that I can grow well. That's why I should always thank Your Majesty. ”

'Hey, old man. This is my fourth life.'

The Emperor laughed out loud after hearing my flattery. It was a skill I gained after becoming a beggar.

“Lady really makes me happy.”

“It's an honor.”

“Oh, correct. When you return, take the imperial train. You will be able to get around more comfortably than taking the Dubbled.” train

I have no doubt to shout “Wow!” and say thank you.

When a boss gives something, it is better to accept it and be happy than to reject it.

As expected, the emperor grinned with a happy face.

“Have fun at the Imperial Palace. Send my regards to the empress dowager. ”

"Yes I'll tell you."

The Emperor nodded with a friendly face and walked past me.

Then Laura, who came with me, whispered with a happy face.

"Even Your Majesty doesn't know what to do because you're beautiful."

Of course I'll be pretty in her eyes.

I have the phrase God at my feet, I am useful to him.

And I'll take advantage of this too.

I look around. The courtiers who walked after the emperor were busy turning their eyes away.

'Yes, the parrot. Go and spread the rumor that the emperor really likes me.'

To me, the emperor was a cunning old man, but to others, he was the imperial sun.

My status will rise when rumors spread.

'Good.'

I hummed towards the empress dowager's palace.

"I greet the empress dowager."

As I opened my skirt wide and spoke, the empress dowager quickly grabbed my hand.

“We don't need courtesy between us. Come, boy. Sit down here. What kind of tea do you enjoy? an acid? Darjeeling? I've got a chocolate scone that you said you liked.”

'The impact of the phrase God is extraordinary.'

Not long ago, the empress dowager was quite hostile towards me.

Because of the godmother incident, my bad relationship with Elizabeth, and my influence in Princess Ingrid's divorce. However, ever since the rumors about the punishment were spread, he immediately changed his attitude.

“I heard you passed out. Must have been hard.”

The empress' widow spoke in a worried voice and gently stroked the back of my hand.

"Thank you for your concern. But I'm fine now.”

“Yes, you are so brave. But why did you faint.....?”.

He glanced at my feet, asking in a subtle tone. He looked desperate to see my feet.

I replied cynically as if I knew nothing.

“The doctors said it was due to shock after receiving the punishment of Dewa.”

“God's Sentence! Oh, can you show it to me? ”

I nodded and carefully took off my shoes. I'm counting the signals inside, one, two, three. I prepared my mind and poured holy power into the tattoo drawn by Trigon.

The empress widow looked at the sentence that appeared at my feet with trembling eyes and covered her mouth.

"God……."

'Look, doesn't that look real?'

It made perfect sense that he knew about the punishment of Gods because he had a good relationship with the pope.

"I know that. Son, I never doubted you. I believe you are the daughter of a God who will bring good luck to the empire. Ah, I'm so happy!”

He tried to calm his excitement by covering his mouth with both hands.

After a while, he opened his mouth again after emptying the water cup.

"Son……"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

“I always stay in the palace and boring doing the same routine. As a result, there are some people who tell me various stories.”

'What is he trying to say?'

As I closed my eyes, he lowered his eyes and continued,

"Are you close to Camilla's granddaughter?"

"Grandson of godmother .. ah, Lionel?"

I corrected her but she frowned when she heard the word 'godmother'.

“Yes, he seems to be following you. He even offered you flowers, right?”

'Aha, he's worried I might be related to his grandson.'

If someone from the imperial family received an actual fate child, they would have more legitimacy.

Looks like he's worried Lionel's gonna take me.

"No. I became friends with him by accident, he looked at me like an older sister.”

"Is that so?!"

The empress' widow nodded with a happy face. When he realized that his innermost thoughts were being revealed too much, he smiled awkwardly.

“I was just curious about Lady's health, but I heard her story. How are you?”

I nodded as if I did not know his dark innermost thoughts.

"Yes, I'm fine."

“I haven't heard from you lately. What have you been doing lately?"

“I read books and draw.”

“I can see the flowers in the greenhouse. I love violets, so gardeners make them bloom all year.”

"That's great. There's a Swallowtail butterfly in the palace greenhouse. Do you want to see?"

"Can I see it?"

"Of course."

I arrived at the conservatory under the guidance of the empress dowager. But as soon as we arrived, the empress dowager's maid ran towards us with a troubled expression.

"There's a commotion in the Imperial Palace."

“A ruckus. Who would dare to do that?”

“Empress Yvonne..”.

"What?"

His servant looked at me and whispered to the empress dowager. He sighed and looked at me.

“I have something to do. Just look around for a second. I'll be right back."

"Yes, don't worry about me."

“That's good of you.”

The empress' widow laughed and stroked my hair. And he left the greenhouse, his expression hardened, probably because it was quite urgent.

'What's going on?'

I ordered the chairman to check and get inside the greenhouse.

' It's been a long time since I first came here.'

The last time I visited here was in my second life.

It is a very beautiful place as it is the garden of the most important people in the empire.

There are neatly arranged trees, artificial waterfalls with clear water, colorful scenery created by all kinds of flowers, and butterflies gathered together the fragrance of flowers.

The park is perfect.

'It's very pretty but it somehow looks gloomy.'

As I walked with that thought, I heard a scream.

“Can't you hear me?! You bastards!"

There was a subtle scream, as if the scream was muffled. I looked in the direction where I could hear that voice.

Above the wall made of rose vines, I could catch a glimpse of dark curly hair.

He was a boy who dared to shout in the imperial conservatory, and he had the same color as Empress Yvonne.

"Prince Andre."

He was famous as a jerk, and I had suffered from his anger directly in my first life, I immediately frowned when I thought about it.

I shook my head and turned around.

'It's better not to meet Prince Andre as much as possible. '

When I was about to escape,

"You still don't understand, Adrian."

Adrian's?

I looked up in surprise.

Then I looked down again, I saw the familiar blonde hair.

“Then tell the emperor. Your victory in swordsmanship is just a trick.”

"You bribed the referee and even broke the sword."

"You motherfucker……!"

Andre grabbed Adrian's collar, who was sitting, and lifted him up.

Both were born in the same year, but Adrian was much taller, although Andre, who was spoiled by Empress Yvonne, had to be taller because she ate a nutritious meal.

“Don't be silly and do as you're told! Who do you think he'll trust? Do you think Duke Dubbled's halo was on your back when an ordinary orphan girl offered to be your companion? Don't talk carelessly if you know that. ”

"Take your words back."

Adrian's voice was scaled down. That was amazing. Andre was shocked.

Adrian flinched but replied,

“What do you want me to pull back? Am I wrong?"

“He's not an ordinary orphan. He's the guy, Leblaine.”

"……What?"

Andre grinned as if he was dumbfounded.

"You're right. He was a child of destiny with a shallow bloodline. Ordinary people who will be used by the nobles- ”

Hit it!!

Andre rolled around on the floor in a loud voice.

Adrian stared coldly at Andre, as he was dumbfounded.

"K, you ......"

Adrian has never taken revenge since he was born. This was because the empress died and Empress Yvonne took over, so she could not act recklessly. But…

"H, how dare you hit me?"

Blood dripped from Andre's nose. He was even more stunned after seeing the blood from his nose.

I think I want to scream.

'Hey, stupid! Why would you want to do that!'

At that moment,

"Lady, you're here."

“Andre!!”

The empress dowager returned with Empress Yvonne and the emperor behind her.

Adrian's eyes widened when he realized I was here.

"Second prince, what really happened ......!"

"M, mom ......"

When Andre put on a pitiful face, I cried.

“Huwaaaa....!”.

Let's save Adrian first.
