The Baby Who Raised the Devil

I'll Adopt You (3)

Leblaine left the room with the maid, as Henry's eyes narrowed.

'What's wrong with the man ...'

Henry was a genius who learned to write when he was just three years old, and his younger brother, who was a bit stupid by his standards, still had more brains than others.

The environment is full of crafty adults. Henry, who lived in such a world, could not understand a naive child.

Addendum

He thought it was impossible for a child connected to the church and the imperial family to know nothing.

I need to be careful.

Henry folded the parchment carefully, put it in the book, and turned to Isaac.

"You, if you remain stupid, there will be no space left."

Then Isaac punched the wall with his fist. Henry looked like he had just seen earthworms strewn on the side of the road. Then the surprised Isaac hardened his face.

“Not a single thing about him is funny.”

That afternoon, Isaac approached Leblaine.

“….”

The girl, who was playing with buttons alone, raised her head.

Isaac approached her carefully, it was very awkward.

Leblaine muttered, showing her buttons slightly.

“We amazed twelve. (There are twelve)”

"You…"

"What are you saying. If you make trouble—“

When Leblaine blinked his eyes, Isaac touched his waist.

'Are you trying to pull out your sword?'

Isaac, who pulled something out of his waist, was about to declare something to Leblaine. So, Leblaine hurriedly said,

“I'm so scared–!”

“…….”

"—I'll eat bread alone in front of you."

Then Leblaine said hurriedly, "Hurt!", He retreated with a frightened face.

Henry muttered while looking.

"Are you two stupid?"

***

'That's ....!'

Children are also poisonous. I can't believe you ate bread alone! When you are fully childish, you will fight Isaac and try to steal bread.

'But, if I pluck out Isaac's precious hair, I'll be kicked right out.'

“I won't see it (i won't see it.)”

"Yes, you're a good girl."

Isaac smiled with a triumphant face. As he tried to stand up, I grabbed his collar.

"Why, why,…"

He asked confused.

“See you later..Rowti (Bread..)”.

"This?"

As I nodded, Isaac cut the bread in half.

I immediately took the bread and bit it.

"Oh, sugar, of course."

It stimulates the taste.

Isaac looked at me as I ate hurriedly and glanced at the bread I was holding. He looks pathetic.

So I cut the bread and gave it to her

"……it's okay. I've got more at home.”

Before we knew it, we squatted near the wall and ate bread. The servants who passed through the corridor laughed at us, and Henry, who was walking with a book, left, looking at Isaac with a strange look.

Lea found me when I was about to finish eating bread.

"Geez, little lady."

Gasp!I'm caught. Today Lea told me not to eat first, she gave me strawberries for a snack. Lea's worry lately is that I'm going to get cavities because I'm eating too much candy.

Lea saw me, so I immediately made an excuse.

“Isaacyak gave it to me! (Isaac gave it to me!)”

Isaac saw me panicking, so he said

"I understand…."

Lea smiled helplessly and wiped the crumbs from my mouth.

"You've had a great meal, so let's skip the snacks today."

"Yes." Yeah."

“Then sir. I'll take him. It's time to take a nap.”

"certain."

Leah hugged me and turned around. I waved at Isaac. Lea stroked my head as she walked towards my room.

"I heard you were very pretty in the dining room earlier."

“……”

“The little girl is so much fun that everyone will fall in love with you. I knew they'd like you!”

No, Lea. Henry and Isaac don't like me. An ******* in exit. After barely being able to win the heart of Duke Dubbled, Henry and Isaac, suddenly appear.

I have to stay here for years before I defect. I better keep a good picture. To do that, I had to chase them diligently. I need to see them often to be tied up. With that determination, I clenched my fists.

***

I woke up early and went down to the dining room to have breakfast with the duke. Recently, me and the duke have often eaten together, but breakfast is an exception. The breakfast was too early for me, a child, who had to sleep all day like a koala to get energy.

The reason why I woke up early today was because the followers told me that Henry and Isaac were back! In other words, two children will also be attending breakfast today. Henry and Isaac were always too busy. If we don't meet at this time, I have no choice but to chase after them. But that would be counterproductive as they would be distracted.

'So after this, of course, I'll ask them to hang out with me.'

I poked my face through the dining room door. Duke sat in the middle of a long table. To his right sat Henry and Isaac.

"Is that little lady?"

Nos was the first to see me.

Then all the attention was on me. Duke looked at me too.

'This is too difficult. How do I get in?'

While tormented, Nos said with a smile.

“You must be here because you missed the duke!”

It wasn't like that, but I had nothing to say, so I just winked.

When I glanced at Duke, he seemed to be excited for some reason.

"Cabin."

I walked towards him slowly

She hugged me in her lap as I approached her.

After several meals on his lap, this became very familiar.

“Rumor, ··· is indeed true.”

The first time I became familiar with the followers, Dubos was always the one full of laughter

“The baby sat well on the duke's lap from the start. She still eats in her lap.”

“……”

“The baby is very soft, very funny ..”

“He is not picky. Isn't it amazing that such a little kid eats peppers and carrots so well?”

Isaac gasped when he mentioned the carrots. But the followers did not notice and continued. The people who spoke were all servants close to the duke who had been in numerous accidents including "the Marco incident," and "the fraud incident."

They lifted their jaws and spoke confidently.

“He also has a good memory and is very good at greeting!”

Their eyes were on me again.

Followers' eyes are like 'Show us!' They look bragging. I opened my mouth, even though I had an unwilling look.

"…..Hi"

Dubos and the followers laughed proudly. I tried hard to look back at the situation where they were bragging and somehow that shame overpowered me. Today, Henry and Isaac, look at the followers as if they were crazy.

Mr. Dubos is just a good old man to me, but he is the one in charge of Dubbled's intelligence department.

I once confirmed with my own eyes that the three men Vallua had sent had been captured in the hands of Viscount Dubos and returned as corpses.

Their tongues and some fingers disappeared, it was very inhumane

Even after barely surviving, the word "Dubos" was enough to cause fear. So this favor is proof of my longevity in this place.

I started talking about various things. Suddenly, the dining room door opened again as the boring political debate continued.

"I'm sorry I'm late."

It was an old man with white hair who went inside.

'Teramore's'

It was the person who used to be according to the terrible Nos the other day.
