The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Choosing a Gift (9)

The operation was led by Leblaine.

Here is their plan:

First, the chairman would release a fist-sized diamond while the treasurer's grandson was on his way to and from school.

The boy quickly picked it up and handed it to his grandfather.

After that, Seria visited the treasurer and said, "That swirl was given by me."

The treasurer, who had taken bribes in an innovative way, said in astonishment.

“That's the most innovative brive I've received in 40 years. It is amazing to use children! Even if we get caught, we will have ninety-nine reasons!”

When bribery experts come together, it is very simple to achieve an innovative way. Then, in return, the treasurer would give instructions to the emperor.

“The impact of drought also reaches the community. Currently causing rebellion.”

“Suwon from Dubbled will be sent immediately to each of the authorized officials. This will give us good publicity, and they will be silent. But, why is your expression so grim?”

“I have served three emperors from your ancestors until now. Even this boring old man has heard something.You are not recorded as a saint. Is it because of your lack of sincerity?

[No, I think it's because of that parasite.]

“Tetap simple only. What do you want to say?"

“When you give officials too much power, there must be corrupt officials. There are many rotten people in this kingdom. Do you think suwon will be delivered safely to people? ”

“Hm, you are right. I have to call the officials and give them a loud warning.”

"Will any officials show their wishes in front of you?"

“It was also... hmm then be prepared. We have to go undercover.”

“Hah...how can you do it yourself? Please retract your words!”

"No. You're correct. I have to take care of that rotten official. I have to go see it with my own eyes. ”

“Heaven will be pleased with your sincerity!”

Then it was decided that the treasurer and him would go undercover.

The emperor, wearing a veil, frowned at the long line on the outskirts of the island.

“What is that line? Is there a street vendor that opens without permission?”

The treasurer responded just as Seria had said before.

“That path leads to Saint Olga.” treatment center

“Treatment center?”

"Yes." Yeah."

At that moment, Hans, who was looking around the treatment center under Leblaine's orders, overheard the conversation and gestured.

'The emperor has arrived. Everyone get ready!'

After receiving Hans' signal, Seto stabs an actor, who is a worker at a mercenary union of hope, at the end of the line.

Then, the actor recites the verses he has memorized since yesterday.

“Ce, Cecilia Olga is an amazing person!”

"of course! Ah, is there another emperor?"

"Ce, Cecilia Olga the emperor of this path!"

The emperor's face became grim.

However, if he acted recklessly to the ignorant people like them, there would be nothing left in this empire.

The Emperor clicked his tongue and tried to turn around.

Seeing this, Seto hurriedly sent a signal to Hans.

'Group two, go!'

As Hans waved his hands behind him, the messy little ones rushed to the end of the line.

"Is this a saint's care center?"

“Y, yes!”

“Wah, whew!”

"Have you also come to receive the care of a saint?"

"No. I came to see that saint, he's a wonderful person.”

"I, I get it."

"He said he'd look after us left behind by the emperor!"

The little ones said excitedly.

"Saints are great!"

"Brother, I wish that saint to be emperor."

“He can't. Because we already have a foolish emperor there.”

"But the saint is even better!"

The emperor's face flushed with anger.

The treasurer said,

"Don't be swayed by the words of a fool."

“I'm not a petty man! I just. .. Oh yeah. I'm just mad at those who set up treatment centers without my permission.”

"That's fine. Saint Olga is not a priest or doctor, so she should not treat people as they are.”

"Fuckin' thick! How dare he make money by harassing my people?”

“Truely thoughtful.”

The treasurer praised the emperor as Seria asked.

The emperor cut the queue with an angry face and turned to Cecilia.

Cecilia was sitting on the old chair, checking the old woman's legs.

A dim light flickered from the part that Cecilia's hand touched, and before long the old woman's face became more comfortable.

"Don't do any work for a while."

“Eh, harvest soon, but what if I can't work in the fields?”

The old woman jumped up and said, "Can't." Cecilia shook her head, and said in a playful tone,

"If you get hurt again, I might have to amputate your leg next time, would you like to?"

“H, yes?”

Then, the emperor approached with a stiff face.

"Hi."

'He's here.'

Cecilia, who was watching the emperor at once, hid the communication device in her ear with her hair, and then raised her head.

[Tell him to stand in line for treatment.]

"Please line up for treatment."

Cecilia, who followed Leblaine's instructions, looked up at the emperor.

The emperor just frowned.

"Who gave you permission to build your own treatment center here?"

[Tell me you're not a doctor. And you don't have a building, not even a tent. There are no such treatment centers in the world]

“I'm not a doctor. I don't have a building, not even a tent. There is no treatment center like this in the world.”

After all, there was actually no tent. The law states that unlicensed treatment centers should not be established. But, we must have buildings that provide care to count as not complying with the law.

'Aim for loopholes in the law .. evil!'

“Do you qualify? Those who do not qualify cannot do the treatment!”

“It...”

[Well, whoa! Don't say!]

Leblaine hastily interrupted Cecilia and sent a signal to Hans via other communication tools.

Hans receives the signal and touches the man in the front row (a worker in the hope mercenary union).

"Why are you interfering with the saint's care!"

Then, the workers in the hope mercenary union, who were disguised as people receiving treatment, shouted together.

"Aren't you trying to bother him because you want to get treatment first?"

"Don't bother us, get out of here!"

"Get out!"

When the workers hiding among the people receiving treatment said that, even ordinary patients reprimanded the emperor.

The emperor was confused by the cries of the people.

“Ah, no, these people. There are two hospitals licensed by the imperial family around here, and there are even temples! you will be treated by a qualified doctor and a priest there! ”

A worker at the mercenary union, disguised as a patient, shouted as Leblaine ordered.

“We are gathered here even though we know it! Do you know how much it costs to get treatment at a place licensed by the imperial family? ”

"Yes! For people like us to even get treatment, we have to sacrifice a lot of things!”

“Hospitals and temples are places only used by nobles!”

The emperor was confused. He doesn't know what they're talking about.

“Private hospital treatment cost has been given by imperial family. So that even ordinary people can receive medical treatment..!”.

“Do you know that such hospitals make money just for treatment? It was obvious that they would charge a lot for medicines, surgery, and special fees! Stop talking nonsense!”

Emperor, unable to contain his anger, and grabbed the man who shouted.

"Do I have to bring the emperor here to come to his senses?!"

[It's time!]

"Please stop!"

Cecilia grabbed the emperor's arm.

"I can't let this go!"

The slap!

Cecilia slapped the Emperor's cheek.

"A, what are you doing ... ...!"

“He did not have enough money to ride a horse, so he brought his sick wife to this place, which was over 300 km away. He himself also has a lung disease.”

The emperor then looked at the man and closed his mouth.

“Also, sick children live in private orphanages, and they have no hospital fees.”

“…….”

"Do you think we don't know that we can't break the laws of this country?"

“…….”

“This is all I can do. The cost of the hospital, which was a small sum for the royal family and nobles, was huge for them. ”

As Cecilia spoke, she became sad and her eyes wet. The emperor looked at the frightened and sick people without a word. They all looked very kind, like those who would not break the law.

“…….”

The treasurer quietly dragged the shocked emperor away.

"Let's go, Your Majesty."

“…….”

"Shall I call the emperor?"

"… No no."

The emperor retreated. Only after she disappeared did Cecilia sigh. Screenplay by Leblaine. Directed by Leblaine. Part 1 is finished perfectly.

***

A few days later, the emperor turned over the medical center and the temple.

Those who cleverly took the medical expenses given by the emperor, were arrested and had to be punished.

"You did a good job."

Seria said with a smile. I answered.

“I didn't mean. You caught a rat when you were coming back, did you? ”

“Isn't that great?”

"That's weird. It should have been worse, but strangely enough, it continues to be a good thing.”

As I sighed, Seria chuckled.

'Oh, this is not the time.'

I quickly connected the communication device to Trigon.

"Do you do what I say?"

[Yes, when the emperor fell asleep, I charmed him to remind him of Cecilia Olga.]

“Oke, perfect.”

[But is this really going to make the emperor fall in love?]

“Do not worry about it.”

[......Then I suffered nothing?]

"Believe me. Do you think someone will understand love when he arranges marriage?"

[Unless.].

Since he would continue to think about it, he would think that he might like Cecilia.

I must have seen it in my past life.

The emperor is a beginner in romance.

And the next day, Cecilia came to see me.

“Lady is right! The emperor is an idiot!”

"So? What's he saying?"

“...You're the first woman to slap my cheek.”

See it?

I laughed out loud.

'Well then. Should we reverse the Imperial Palace?'

But then, the chairman hurriedly ran towards me and shouted,

“Triloni.. No, Tri..!”.

"Why?!"

When Cecilia and I woke up, the chairman replied with a pale face.

"Emeline and she are holding each other's hair in the shopping district!"

What is this again!
