The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Let's Get Suwon!! (9)

The surprised empress Dowager came to me.

"What's the problem?"

“Huwaa.....!”

Even Empress Yvonne who was looking at Andre, who fell with a nosebleed, looked at me.

Andre, who was quickly removed from the spotlight, frowned and grabbed Empress Yvonne's arm.

That's not something a 14-year-old boy would do.

'Well, he still does that even when he grows up.'

Andre is the most famous mamaboy in the Empire.

"M, mother, that bastard told me-"

Andre was about to tell Empress Yvonne, but I intervened,

“Huwaa, dad....!”.

When I cried and even pulled out my trump card, said the father, making people look at each other in great confusion.

The emperor opened his mouth.

"Lady."

"Yes, Your Highness……."

"My jawab. What's problem?"

“A, Ad, Adrian.... hiks! Prince Adrian.....hik...not bad......!”.

They were confused when I even started hiccups.

“Do not cry and speak calmly. I can't understand you.”

"I'm evil. Because I am a lowly commoner..I was born as a commoner so that the nobles can easily use me and dump me.!”.

After saying that, I looked at Prince Andre as he woke up confused.

"T, that's not it, Your Majesty!"

I shook my head inside.

'Is he stupid?'

He basically confessed when he said that.

As expected, the emperor, empress, and empress dowager looked at Andre with great surprise, and I decided to push him further.

"Prince Andre calls me a commoner, and Prince Adrian is angry."

"I……!"

Andre's face turned deathly pale. I had nothing to say, but it seemed like it worked when I pushed it into a corner. I continued on casually.

“Prince Adrian politely asks him to retract his words, but Prince Andre says that commoners are the tools of the nobles..”.

The Emperor who was looking at me turned to Andre.

He must be angry right now.

'Ordinary people are the tools of the nobles.'

Even if it came out of the mouths of low-level nobles, the hearts of the people would be filled with hatred. But it came out of the mouth of Andre, the prince closest to the emperor.

If rumors spread that he said this in a tumultuous time, people would get angry.

I opened my eyes wide as if I knew nothing.

“I think that's a very bad word to say. Prince Adrian continues to persist even when Prince Andre says bad things but cannot in the end.”

"Lady!"

Empress Yvonne ran towards me in surprise, and left her son.

“I'm sure Lady misheard. Andre wouldn't say that, would he?”

"That's……."

"Really?"

The Queen seemed very urgent.

That's understandable. The emperor's expression had changed.

The empress and empress dowager looked at the emperor with anxious faces, and Andre ran out of sense.

When all eyes were on the emperor, I grabbed Adrian's sleeve.

She was very confused when I sent her an eye signal.

"Tell him you're sorry."

“…….”

'Hurry!'

Adrian opened his mouth as I frowned.

"I'm sorry for making a fuss."

"No, I'll get in trouble if you don't make a fuss."

“…….”

Andre said in a low voice as Adrian lowered his head silently.

“Y, Your Majesty, Adrian is the one who holds the sword in the Imperial Palace. You have to discipline-"

"First Prince!"

The queen cut him off.

'Jeez……. I think he's stupid, it turns out he's very stupid.'

He's very unwise.

The emperor said,

"I must do something to the first prince's teacher."

“……?”

"Huh?"

"He had no common sense and did not even care about the future of the empire."

"Your Majesty, what are you saying ......"

“He even dared to tell me!!”

A thunderous shout erupted from the emperor's mouth. Andre then realized that things had gone awry, and the Empress hurriedly grabbed the nape of her son and made him bow his head.

"Quickly and apologize for your mistake!"

The emperor saw them.

"Enough. Hearing her careless words made me believe that she did not even know her mistake. What should I do with a heartless apology?”

"That……! Your Majesty!”

“To raise a child like that. How can you be so proud?"

The queen's expression turned cold. He bit his lips.

'Oh, it seems like a serious couple quarrel.'

After that, the emperor ordered Adrian.

“Adrian, return to your palace. On the way, take Lady to the train. ”

"……Yes, Your Majesty."

'I have to hear the fight, that way, I can choose which side I will take......!'

Too bad, but Adrian pulled me and forced me to leave the greenhouse.

As soon as we left the greenhouse, Adrian looked at me. I also looked at him with narrowed eyes.

“What if I wasn't there before? If you're going to hit people, don't make the mark visible! No, if that's your situation, you shouldn't have punched. ”

Adrian who approached me carefully wiped my tears with his sleeves.

"That's a fake tear."

"Don't cry, even if it's fake."

“…….”

"I don't know what to do if you cry."

Adrian's voice became very low, as his expression became melancholy.

I looked at Adrian, who wiped my tears very carefully, as if he was touching a glass about to break.

His hand was surprisingly full of wounds.

“What's with this wound? Who hit you?”

“I have increased the intensity of my workouts today.”

Who's Adrian taking lessons from now?

'At first, when I was four, Adrian's maternal grandfather rebelled and expelled him from the palace.'

While wandering the continent, he accidentally met a man who was the head of the Holy Knights and became his disciple.

'That's how he became a cardinal.'

It always happened the same way until my third life.

But not in this life. The maternal grandfather did not rebel, but ignored Adrian.

'There is only one case where the future changes. When I intervened.'

Adrian's future could somehow change because of me.

I always felt sorry for this kid.

Adrian's life as a wanderer would be much more comfortable than living in a palace.

I am sure of that because I have also experienced living as a noble and a beggar.

Adrian smiled faintly as I began to pout.

"I won today."

“…….”

Knowing the heart of this child, I smiled because there was nothing I could do.

"good job. Did you hit him hard?"

"Three times in the shin, one solar plexus, seven in the head."

"You hit in the right place, good job."

When I raised my hand to caress her head, she naturally bowed.

"Do you eat well here?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"What do I say you do when someone bothers you?"

“Your life is not worth it, right? How can we be sure of the future? If you're unlucky, you won't end up with a limb. ”

Adrian remembered every word I taught him without error. I nodded with a happy expression on my face.

“Good work, good work.”

I patted her shoulder. Then I saw the car rental shop behind him.

"I have to go now."

I should stop by the mercenary guild as well.

“I have to go now, take good care of yourself. I'll come later”

As I was about to leave, Adrian grabbed my sleeve.

“……?”

“…….”

"What's wrong?"

"……There's nothing. Careful"

"Yeah……."

Adrian went first, and I tilted my head at his back, and started walking to the car rental shop.

"There's something he wants to say."

But what is it?

Is he sick?

I guess not so.

I was tormented with my hands crossed.

'I don't know. Oh, there are things I have to agree to in the mercenary guild today, I have to buy a thick cloth before autumn arrives. What date is today….'

September 1st

Today is Adrian's birthday.

"Hey, stupid!"

As I ran and slapped his back, Adrian's eyes widened and looked back at me.

"If it's your birthday, you have to say it's your birthday."

"……how do you know?"

Yes, Adrian will be the Crown Prince in the future. On the crown prince's birthday, a lavish feast would be held in the imperial palace, so everyone knew.

But I couldn't say it, so I turned around.

"Can you leave the imperial palace?"

"Yes." Yeah."

“Then let's go.”

"Where?"

"Pshopping district. To eat cake.”

When I laughed mischievously, Adrian's face brightened.

***

At the Dubbled house.

The three brothers gathered in the Duke's office and did their own work. Henry, who was casually inspecting the watch, opened his mouth.

“It's time for Leblaine to go home.”

The duke replied, taking off his glasses after looking at the documents.

"She said she'd stop by the shopping district."

"To the mercenary union?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Isaac who was resting his chin said.

"Should we pick him up?"

"Hm……. That's not bad advice.”

As Henry raised himself with a smile, Johann asked,

“What will you do, Father?”

Theodore Dubbled was the first to leave the room, and took the mantle that was draped in his chair.
