The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Unraveling His Intention (5)

At Johann's confident words, the faces of the other family members became distorted.

The chairman put away the papers, greeted the duke who didn't even know he was entering, and left the room. The administrators and servants followed him with pale faces.

"Oh no. This is the 3.” level alert

"No. Level 2'S……."

“Didn't the level 2 warning break out 3 years ago due to an injury the young miss sustained while practicing divine power? Compared to that..”.

"No. It's marriage. She can leave Dubbede and live with her husband. Do you think they're ready to give it? This is a level warning 2.”

“Aah!”

The administrator looked at the chairman with a ghastly pale face.

"How do we solve this ......"

"This family is crazy."

The chairman sighed and offered a solution as if he had no choice.

"Go to the Lady."

People's eyes sparkle.

“How wise!”

"Tell him now!"

"Yes. Let's go!"

Looking at the people who went to that Lady, the chairman sighed again

***

The next morning, I saw the four men in the study, quietly putting their hands on their laps and looking at me with a confused expression.

“Do you call the investigation team and prepare the troops?

“…….”

“…….”

Dad threw away his face, and Henry smiled awkwardly.

"Leblaine, about that ..."

“Sst.”

"Yes." Yeah."

Henry tried to calm me down, but I stared at them firmly.

"Why is my bodyguard after me?"

“Bocil, we did not do it.!”

This time, Isaac tried to make an excuse, but when I raised my eyebrows, he closed his mouth. I took a deep breath. I woke up in the morning and was shocked. Some people were waiting for me with empty faces at my door. Then they told me the whole story and I was shocked.

“This is not about my marriage, but Cecilia and the emperor. We talked about it yesterday morning.”

“I was surprised to hear the word marriage come out of your mouth..”.

“Y, yes, Bocil. Please don't leave the details next time. ”

"Then, are you going to call the investigation team again and prepare the troops?"

Henry and Isaac could only bow.

“I hope I misunderstood that. It's too much to call the entire squad and the investigation team.”

My family has nothing to say. As soon as our eyes met, their eyebrows dropped pitifully.

'Oh, this makes my heart weak.'

As soon as I coughed loudly, the shrewd Henry realized that the atmosphere had subsided a little, and slipped towards me.

“I won't do it next time.”

"…really?"

"Yes." Yeah."

“It was a promise. In that case, I hope Dad cancels the emergency order first. ”

“You'll do it, right?”

When we saw him, he quickly nodded and said to Nos.

"Cancel now."

Nos could not hold back his laughter and covered his mouth with his hands. After he answered, my father glared at him.

"Dad."

“…….”

He lowered his eyes again.

'Um, why is he angry?'

Now it was my turn to calm her down, so I grabbed her hand.

“I don't want to get married. I'll stay with you for the rest of my life!"

I could see the expression on my father's expression gradually loosening with fatal words.

“You don't need to be angry anymore.”

“…….”

"OKay?"

"…OK." Okay."

“Then, as you promised yesterday, will you help Cecilia and the emperor get married?”

"OKAY. Should I go to the Imperial Palace and talk to the emperor?"

I shook my head at my father's question.

'No need to start from our side just yet.'

If we go first, they'll think we're in a hurry, so they'll mistake them for superiority.

“Better let the emperor move first. It probably won't be long.”

As soon as I said that, the butler entered the room.

“A message has arrived. You need to enter the palace. ”

Lookit. As I raised the corner of my mouth, my father, who understood the situation, smiled.

As he was about to leave the study room, I immediately picked up the materials and whispered.

“Let Your Majesty know that we have the upper hand. And don't forget to take Grand Duchy Vallua.”

"alright. But can I tell them the duke's story?”

I returned it with a smile.

***

In the auditorium of the imperial palace, the emperor grabbed the armrest and sat across from Duke Dubbede.

'What is he thinking?'

The temple created a fake princess. The Pope said Augustine was the one who did it, but how many people would believe it?

Those who knew the nature of Duke Dubbede thought he would point his sword at the temple at any moment, but he did not move. Instead, he remained silent in an indifferent manner.

The Emperor, who was unaware of Leblaine's plans, was frustrated.

"I'll let you file a formal complaint against Augustine."

"What do you mean?"

"Are you kidding me? We are talking about how the temple created your fake youngest daughter!”

"Well, I can do that, but that kind of thing is not my taste."

"What?"

“We don't have to waste any more time right? I'll keep it simple. His Majesty does not want to use Dubbede in a tug-of-war with the temple.”

Theodore raised his eyebrows and looked at the emperor.

It was clear what the emperor wanted.

It must have been very sad for people to hear that the imperial family had accepted bribes due to the Augustine incident.

The emperor was only looking for an opportunity to reduce the power of the temple. And this is the right time.

The Emperor raised both of his hands as if he had lost.

To do so, the victim, Duke Dubbled, had to directly report Augustine to the Imperial Palace. Only then could the emperor make a move.

Theodore rubbed his chin slowly.

The Emperor was convinced that Duke Dubbede would side with him.

Who does not know the deep hatred of the temple and Dubbede? If he could seek the emperor's help, it wouldn't be bad for Duke Dubbede.

“I don't want it.”

Whahuh?

The emperor's expression was distorted.

"Why?!"

“I'll tell you why. The battle between you and the temple will end with your defeat. And Dubbede will not lose the battle.”

The emperor's eyes turned dark.

“How can you predict such an outcome? This is an opportunity that will never come again. Do you think I'll waste a chance? ”

"Do you know where the nobles are now?"

"What do you mean?"

Theodore crossed his legs and continued.

“They are in the residence of Duke Marche, next to the pope.”

“……!”

“As soon as His Majesty calls me, the pope tells Duke Marche to summon the nobles. Do you know why the nobles are so united? ”

“...It must be because of Andre.”

"Yes, the prince who will be the emperor has more power than you."

"But I'm still the emperor!"

“Yang Mulia's. If I were Duke Marche, I wouldn't think so. He would take the prince's property so in the future, he had the emperor as a puppet. ”

“Theodore Dubbede!”

The Emperor was furious and shouted. As Theodore maintained his calm demeanor, the emperor managed to temper his anger and asked,

"So what are you going to do?"

"You have to get rid of the culprit."

"Are you telling me to kill my son?"

"Cannot be. I'm not that cruel.”

"…Then?"

“Share your power to divide the nobles. Give some to Adrian, isn't that awesome?”

The emperor furrowed his brows.

“I can't give it to him. Adrian's maternal grandfather was more dangerous than Duke Marche. As soon as I noticed Adrian, they would start a rebellion. ”

"Then give him a guardian."

“A guardian?”

“Someone who will be able to raise Prince Adrian very well without rebelling against His Majesty, and to keep an eye on Empress Yvonne.”

"... The new empress."

An expression of interest immediately flashed in the emperor's eyes.

"Can you help me?"

If she had a new empress, she could completely rearrange the current power structure. Among the four dukes after Vallua's fall, only Dubbede could be compared to the Marche.

He needs Theodore's help.

“I have no one in my family who can be empress. Should I ask Javelin? ”

"What did you say? Your brother might kill me.”

"I agree."

“Then I want you to be the new empress' guard. Send him to me under Dubblede.”

"Who is this?"

“Have you heard of Saint Cecil?”

"It'll be a success when Cecilia's name comes out dad!"

Recalling Leblaine's words, Theodore smiled brightly.

"If I do, what will His Majesty give me?"

“I'll give you the Grand Duchy Vallua. Isn't that what you want?”

"The boy is right."

Everything went the way her smart daughter wanted it.

The emperor declared his intention to attack the pope, and issued a decree for the election of a new empress.

Empress Yvonne was furious, but Duke Marche did not move at the pope's request.

Clearly what the emperor's intentions were, he would urge Augustine's public interrogation, which would undermine the temple's honor.

The imperial family and the temple gained something, but also lost something.

The emperor obtains a new empress, the public confused. So the people forgot about the damage to the temple, but angered Empress Yvonne.

The nobles laughed at the war between the temple and the imperial family, saying that what was missing from them outweighed the benefits.

But they don't know if there's someone who monopolizes the victory. Dubbede was the winner of this war.

***

After some time, preparations for Cecilia's entry into the palace went smoothly. No one knew that the emperor had teamed up with Dubbede to make the woman he loved empress.

'This is because we are making rumors!'

Henry, expert at manipulating public opinion, spread rumors that Cecilia was from the Dubblede knights, so it was only natural that Duke Dubblede was his guardian.

So, the original problem of Cecilia was solved.

Empress Yvonne and Duke Marche were unhappy, but all their anger was directed at the emperor, whom they thought was conspiring against them.

"Everything went well."

…Except one problem.

"You ...... really ....... are you going to be like this?"

[You did well.].

Deer Pur and I looked at each other as I was out of breath.

The problem is this. Pur continues to be stubborn. Even if he died, he would not change his desire to have my heart.

It has been more than two months since I called Pur. Considering that another Devil has returned in 2-3 weeks, it is a very long period of time.

Thanks to the holy power of Adrian, the first month is fine, but the second month is painful.

“I will never give up my heart.”

[Red.]

I groaned, then slowly sat down and looked at the trembling Pur.

When my strength was almost over the limit, it was difficult to maintain it.

'I will use all my holy power in three or four days.'

Then I die, or worst of all, I go crazy. I took a breath and said,

“Let's hear the reason. Why do you want my heart? ”

[…….]

“Pur.”

[...I need your heart to see that man!]

Pur was crying and screaming. That guy? I had dejavu hear it.

'Boone said something like that too.'

He also said that the jewelry was for that person.

"Who is this guy?"
