The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Let's Get Suwon!! (10)

The Wigentra shopping district is said to be the busiest place on the continent.

It was a busy and prosperous place, and any rumors would spread in just seconds there.

Shopping will not be crowded in the morning, but in the afternoon when most stores start operating, it will be crowded.

Adrian looked around in surprise, as if this was his first time there.

This is not the first time he has come here. He also had many opportunities to go there.

The reason the child was surprised was because I was heading down a shabby road that an ordinary person would go through.

“I didn't know there was this road.”

He said with a murmur as he looked around the dark alley.

"You've only ever been to the main road?"

"Yes." Yeah."

I'm nodding.

'Well, there's no way a prince would go to an alley like this.'

The main road was where the nobles went.

The back road is where travelers, or people with money, go.

And this dark alley is where ordinary people go.

I don't know this place in my first and second life either. I realized this place in my third life.

“There's a place in that corner that sells really good cakes. It's better than a cake on the main road. You can trust me."

When I said it, Adrian smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes."

I walked more confidently thanks to his response.

Soon after, I saw a very rundown shop with a dilapidated signboard.

This is the shop where I used to get bread as a beggar.

Johnny, the bakery owner, looks fussy, but he's actually soft-hearted. So when the hungry beggar reached out, he would throw bread while shouting.

“You really can't leave this place yeah! ......Here, grab the bread!”

When I opened the door, I heard a clattering sound, and a familiar sight.

"Welcome home."

Christie's!

Christie helps around the bakery and she is also a generous woman. Unbeknownst to Johnny, he used to give almonds or peanuts to beggars.

“Yeah, little guest! May I take your order?”

“Yah, um..!”

I was so excited and grabbed Adrian's arm.

“What do you eat? What do you like? The chocolate cake is delicious, and the raspberry pie is delicious. Oho! It's a butter cream cake. It's so good!”

"I'll take anything."

I raised my hand and placed the coin on the counter.

“Please butter cream cake.”

"Do you want a piece?"

"No, everybody!"

“This is an excellent choice.”

"A hand……."

Christie nodded, grinning as I whispered something in her ear. He immediately showed us to our seats.

"Wow, that seat is worn out."

Nothing changed, as I sat in the chair it still made a shrill sound.

“Hm, hm. Hm."

My legs swung forward and backward as I hummed with excitement, Christie carrying a cake, two glasses of milk, and a long envelope.

"Thank you."

“Do not say thank you.”

There's a candle in the envelope I asked Christie.

I took out a candle, and put it in the cake. Christie skillfully lit the candle and then returned to the cashier table.

"What are you doing? Express a hope."

"Wants…"

"You made a wish and blew out a candle on your birthday."

He hesitated for a moment as I waited for Adrian to open his mouth.

"You have no desire?"

"Yes…."

"Huh?"

How can we not have desires at our age!

I looked at him with a surprised face.

“Wind to show aura, or get good grades in exams. Desire like that.”

"You can want it if you want to."

Adrian spoke and I was confused. For some reason, I remember what my beggar friend said back then,

"We beggars have no privilege of hope ..."

I almost frowned, but I realized when I saw the injured hand and arm of Adrian fluttering like a cuff button would come off.

The boy had no nanny. There are people around me who work hard every day not to die.

I also know very well what it feels like when I am not even able to fulfill a request. I felt sorry for him when he made me remember my past life.

“Then let's think about it. What do you have to want? Well, why don't you want to grow two meters tall?”

“…….”

"You wish you could grow up to be so handsome."

“…….”

"Or maybe rich."

“…….”

“Or you could be a little greedy. Birthdays are a good day to be greedy. Why don't you want to be a very handsome rich guy who is so tall that you can have the funniest girlfriend in the world?”

"……Do you like it?"

"Huh?"

"A very handsome, rich, and tall man."

Adrian's eyes somehow became serious. I answered by tilting my head.

“Everyone will love it, right?”

“Then I like it.”

"Huh?"

"I'll want it."

“…….”

I feel weird for some reason.

'Hey, don't tell me .......'

I looked at Adrian.

Adrian's eyes are so sweet. It's sweeter than any other cake in this bakery. And I became very happy.

'It's time for that yeah.'

Yes, yes, it's time to get your first love. Oh, prince. He's an adult.

I felt like an older sister who was proud to see the growth of her younger siblings.

I nodded my head with a friendly expression.

"Yes yes. Express a hope."

Adrian clumsily followed me and he made a request with a very serious expression.

"He's very sweet."

After he blew out the candle, I took out a candle, put it on a tray and took out a bread knife. When I cut carefully, a wet sponge covered by savory butter cream came out. I tried to lift the largest piece, but the piece kept coming off the bread knife.

“No, why this....”.

Adrian took my hand gently.

Then he took the knife, took the cake at once and placed it on my plate.

"I'll give you the greatest."

“I like the second largest.”

“But it's your birthday...”.

“I've always liked the second largest.”

“…….”

"I really like it."

I feel touched for a reason.

“....you, don't be too kind to others or they'll take advantage of you.”

"It's okay. I'm just good to you.”

"liks. You must be very mean to others.”

This kid is too good.

It's not just about giving up the cake.

One might think that I don't want to get involved with the prince, who is constantly being examined by Empress Yvonne, if we go to a place where there are some people, he said, but he seemed happy to come to the cake shop with me.

“Come find a gift after this.”

"Gift?"

"Yes. Birthday present."

Adrian smiled brightly.

***

Isaac stared threateningly at the Dubbled train waiting at the entrance of the shopping district.

"What?"

The coachman clenched his hat and asked again.

"Huh?"

"Where's the leak?"

All the guards he gave her were on the train. Even Zachary is standing here.

Henry whispered to Zachary,

"Did Leblaine come to the mercenary union alone?"

It was no wonder that he moved out alone, as only his closest family and friends knew about his circumstances.

But strangely he didn't bring Zachary.

Leblaine was a cautious child and would not actually move on his own unless urged.

Zachary glanced at.

"I don't think he went there."

"Whatchu mean? Then where did he go?”

Isaac asked while frowning. Henry, Johann and Duke Dubbled also looked towards Zachary.

When Zachary fell silent, Duke Dubbled stepped forward.

"My answer, where's my daughter?"

“I don't know the destination.”

"How are you sure he didn't go to the guild?"

“......I thought she wouldn't go there because she's with someone else.”

"Who is this brave man?"

"He was with the second prince, Adrian."

The coachman who stood far away, stepped further back.

Although this was the beginning of late summer and autumn, the atmosphere became cold. That was because the face of the man surnamed Dubbled became extremely threatening.

“......Adrian Louerg.”

Johann muttered and Isaac immediately frowned.

"He makes me nervous."

"Prince chosen Leblaine ......"

Henry mumbled coldly. Johann looked at his father and opened his mouth.

"Right, the man .... he also hugged Leblaine at Camilla's godmother's house."

"What?"

"What's!? Why are you just saying that now? Did you decide to amputate his limbs? Why is she hugging someone else's sister?”

Isaac went wild, as Henry and Johann's expressions became grim.

Duke Dubbled looked at the guards and said.

“I'll give you ten minutes. Find them."

The guard's eyes were shaking.

Ten minutes.

Is that possible?

In a crowded shopping district?

"T, ten minutes too"

"Quick, in ten minutes."

The guards ran in panic.

"Emergency!"

"Emergency! Emergency situation!"
