The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Choosing a Gift (4)

'Name Triloni?'

I tapped on Saint Cecil's document.

“You know, my name is actually Trilloni. I told others 'Tri' because I was afraid the kids would tease me for the fairy tale "Poor Trilly", but I liked the name 'Tri'. I want to be a precious person who can be a shade in summer and winter!”

Triloni is not a common name.

The Bible was written in an ancient language, so it was never fully interpreted. And the part where the Triloni appears is the back.

The part passed down to people other than nobles is only the first part, and unless you are a noble, you will not name your son 'Triloni'.

In the Empire, the fairy tale called 'Trilly the Beggar' was so famous that everyone would think about it.

As I narrowed my forehead, the chairman asked.

“Do you want to meet Cecilia Olga?”

"I want to but I'm not sure if he's easily convinced or not."

“Hm..”

“If he was a knight under the command of my father, someone born into a noble family would have unimaginable money in his hands.”

"That's right."

“If we contact him and get rejected, it will be difficult to fix it. When it became known that I was looking for a future empress, my relationship with Empress Yvonne and Marche would be strained.”

The chairman nodded and gave me another document.

“Then Count Bestia's daughter is the most suitable. Recently Count Bestia arranged a meeting between her daughter and the emperor, causing the emperor to quarrel with Empress Yvonne.

Chairman stared.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Do you have any worries?"

I put my hand on my forehead.

"Leblaine, you're from a private orphanage too?"

"Yeah……."

"I'm from Westian orphanage.”

The place where Saint Cecil began to heal was in the Westian region.

The boy's name is Triloni.

Tri from the orphanage.

'I think Tri from the orphanage and Saint Cecil are somehow related.'

Ah, I guess this is the benefit of reincarnation.

“I really don't want to hook up with beggars kids.”

"Why? Is there any reason you haven't looked for it until now? ”

They're like Duke Amity. I hate them, but I can't at the same time.

“In my third life, a priest found me.”

"How did they find you?"

“The children of beggars drove me away to get food and clothes from the priests.”

At that time, the pastor visited Theresa Orphanage.

The reason for that is because I am the only child born on February 29 that has not been tested for her holy power.

“I'm starving because I ran away from the beggar.”

"Huh?"

“That's when the plague happened and no one tried to contact the beggar.You could get a piece of bread if you were in the beggar's group, but it couldn't be alone. ”

“…….”

"If I go to get bread, you'll probably find me at the temple."

The chief's expression went dark.

“Don't meet them. Don't try to help. Aren't they the ones who helped you die?”

I let out a breath.

“Don't hit me! Don't hit Blaine! Blaine just hurts. That's why we can't get out!”

Tri is hit by Max for failing to meet the quota and is beaten together.

Tri and Emeline were also the ones who distributed bread to me who couldn't go to the shelter in case I was caught by the priest.

And Tri always craved a family.

“Emeline lucky. She has someone she's been waiting for.”

'The fact that he didn't meet Saint Cecil until the plague broke out means he can't find Tri.'

"Hans and Duke are in the upper office, right?"

"Yes." Yeah."

“Dress them as beggars and send him to Max's gang. Maybe Tri that Saint Cecil is looking for.”

I let out a breath.

***

A week later, I came to the office. It should be given information by Hans and Duke.

Sitting on the sofa for a while, the children immediately entered.

“Wah.

I was shocked and saw children who looked like beggars.

"We've styled ourselves for perfect infiltration!"

"Yes!"

I blinked when I saw the children talking confidently.

'But it's not that bad .......'

The children were covered in sacks, with all sorts of soot on their faces.

Seria put on a troubled look, holding her cheek with one hand.

“They have a strong desire to infiltrate.”

“......I'm fine as long as you don't get caught.”

“Don't worry about that. We are not beggars, but we already live like beggars, so we can act well.”

Seeing Seria smile, I was a little confused.

"Okay, then report what you've learned."

Hans and Duke took out their notebook with very serious faces.

“Tri is from Westian Province. She lived with her mother until she was two years old, and when her mother died, she went to an orphanage.”

“Westian County was very far away, and the director of the orphanage beat her every day so she could escape! He often hides in the train, that's good!”

"That's amazing!"

“She fights with Emeline every day.”

“Emeline is a strange girl. She keeps getting upset, no, because she's not out begging, and she doesn't want Max to scold her, Tri takes care of her. But he had just been angry at Tri who said such a thing, 'I won't do this again!'”

"That's right, he has a bad temper."

I opened my eyes wide.

"Didn't Emeline take care of you?"

Emeline is grumpy but she also has a good side, she is always looking after new kids.

He's not as generous as Tri, but he helped me familiarize myself with the beggar's life.

The beggars dubbed them Mommy Tri and Sister Emeline.

"Not really! He almost got kicked out because he slapped Max yesterday. He'd be expelled if it wasn't for Tri. ”

“Tri is a good person, he always shares bread.”

“Yes, Tri does not know the letters and the calculations are always wrong. But he has other powers, when an animal is sick, he knows how to treat it..”.

As Seria clapped her hands, "Friends," Hans and Duke became serious again.

“Tri wants to have a family, but he doesn't have.”

"No. He said he had an aunt. But he did not come to his funeral because he was not close to his mother. Aunty won't really look for Tri, so she gives up.”

I made eye contact with the chief. He nodded with a frown. Meanwhile, Hans and Duke said, “We don't have an aunt, but we have an older sister. Sister Seria!”

Seria patted the children's heads. And then he looked at me.

“It looks right.”

“I want to meet Saint Cecil.”

“I will arrange a meeting with the name of the mercenary union of hope. Maybe we can get the perfect empress candidate thanks to your little friend.”

Seria's eyes glittered, and I nodded.

***

Back then, inside an alley in the shopping district,

“Emeline, are you sure you don't want to eat? It's been two days. Are you planning to starve to death?”

Tri came towards her with food and shook Emeline's body covering the blanket up to her head. Emeline, who was silent for a moment, exploded in anger.

“I won't eat! I'm gonna starve to death! Get out of here!"

"You're so…!"

"What's the point of living like this!"

As he shouted, the children in the old building stopped eating and looked at Emeline.

"You ... Our brothers are afraid!"

“What's ad. So we're all brothers if we're in the same gang? You listen to me too! You have to live like this for the rest of your lives. A child with no guardian can't get a job, and the only answer is to be sold to a gangster or a distant farm! It's better if we all die together....!”.

The slap!

Emeline's head turned over because of the impact. He glared at Tri, covering his cheeks.

Tri frowned while crying.

“How can you say that ……. They are young. How could you curse them like that? ”

"……I'm right."

"You've been weird ever since we met the young master in the living room."

“......You're noisy.”

“Sorry I hit you. But Emeline, that's enough.….”

"Whisper! It's noisy! What do you know when you were abandoned by your aunt?I'm not like you! Someone will come looking for me!”

After pushing Tri, Emiline lay down on the floor and hurriedly pulled the blanket over. The figure of the boy, who had turned around coldly, was on his mind.

He had never seen such a beautiful boy. She was the type of boy she imagined next to her when she imagined herself to be a noble girl.

He knew there was a girl next to him, but did it matter?

The girl next to the boy was wearing a cheap veil. The situation will be similar to him.

Then he couldn't be better than her. Moreover, he was a noble who would one day live a luxurious life if he found his father.

"But I'm not a noble yet."

Since her father didn't come, he ignored her?

"When you're ten, your father will come, Emeline."

Liars.

He's not coming.

"I was ten years old, but my father didn't come."

There is insecurity in him. The family he had been waiting for did not come, and he felt like he was going to live his entire life wandering around this dark and seedy back alley.

Tri sighed and looked at the trembling Emeline.

***

The competent Seria obtained the appointment of a meeting with Cecilia, who did not even meet a high-ranking noble.

And today is the day that I'm supposed to meet Cecilia.

I was just about to leave the room after looking in the mirror when my father walked in.

"Are you going now?"

I glanced at the servants and whispered to my father.

“Yes, I'll go with Seria, the chairman, and Zachary to meet Miss Olga. You know that, right? Cecilia Olga.”

"Yes." Yeah."

"I heard he was a knight under your command."

“He used to be a Risette.” bodyguard

The Duchess' name came out and I was shocked.

'So he's Lea's bodyguard .......'

Turning to Lea, he grinned as if nothing had happened.

“Tell him when you see him. You don't have to worry about us now. ”

I don't know what that means, but I nodded slowly. I smiled and patted my head.

He lifted me up, I said as I kissed my father's cheek.

"I'll be back!"

"Yes." Yeah."

I said goodbye to my brothers and headed to the greenhouse. And Seria, who had secretly come to the mansion disguised as an old man, tore off the teleportation scroll.

A dazzling light enveloped my body, and when I opened my eyes again, it was in the living room. The dark-haired woman who was sitting on the sofa got up.

"Are there any wounded people in the mercenary guild of hope?"
