The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Unraveling His Intention (6)

[I can't say it.]

He can't say it? Isn't he not going to say it?

"So it should be limited."

As I thought about it, a conclusion was naturally drawn.

Even if the world was reversed, there was only one creature that dared to resist the demons.

'God.'

Pur, who could read my mind, raised his head, which was about to sink to the floor.

[This is an amazing person.]

"What?"

[Some people believe in gods. Don't people believe only in what they see?]

“There are demons, how can there be no Gods? And there are a lot of people who believe in Gods these days. Even when they cannot eat, they will still donate to the temple.”

[He. A lot of times have changed since that person's time.]

Kii!!!

Just as it muttered someone's name, a sharp voice flashed through my mind. As the voice continued to echo in my brain, I sat down and took a deep breath.

“Ugh..

[Huh? Huh huh? Hi!]

Pur was surprised and stood up. I rubbed my itchy ears.

'What is that?'

I felt my whole body flutter. My tired body became even more painful, but this made one thing clear.

'That's not God Neliard.'

There was no one who did not know the name of Lord Neliard who was worshipped in the temple. It was not that God because anyone could call out the name of Lord Neliard easily without feeling any pain. Does that mean the name Pur mentioned is Evil God?

'But why did Pur, who worshipped the Evil God, belong to the family of Mina, the son of Lord Neliard?'

I sighed and shook my head.

“If we have etwal, can you belong to the family without needing the opinion of the devil?”

Pur, who was approaching me, gasped and stopped walking.

[T, no!You're wrong!]

“I think it's true.”

I smiled and pulled Chalcedonia out of my pocket. Then Pur ran towards me while shouting [No!] in my head. But before Pur could touch her, I climbed into bed with Chalcedonia.

"If not, why are you so surprised?"

[That! Anyway, it's not that.]

“Ya, alright.”

When I secretly brought Chalcedonia to Etwal, Pur said,

[I will change my will! No need for your heart. No. ah, yes. Your hair...!].

“It's too late. I don't have the strength to hold you back any longer.”

Therefore, I placed Chalcedonia in Etwalku. Later, Chalcedonia was reduced to a size corresponding to the slopes at Etwal.

[No!]

As soon as I put Chalcedonia on Etwal, it shone. And not long after…

"Cannot be. How can I be a member of the human family. This is something that does not happen even in that person's time.”.

“Pur?”

"I told you not to call me that!"

A little boy with horns on his head was crying. It looked completely different from the human body I had seen before.

'Is this what it looks like?'

I stroked Pur's crying head with a happy face.

"Please take good care of me from now on."

"Go to hell!"

"Yes yes. I'm going to hell. But aren't you hungry as a human being? It will be cold if you are naked, so shouldn't you wear your clothes first?”

“...Why are you so good? You're a bad boy.”

Pur looked at me with skepticism, and I smiled kindly.

"I'm a bad boy, but I'm good to my people."

How can I be mean to you when I have so many things to take advantage of?

“So, what can you do?”

Pur looked at me with a worried look on his face. He reluctantly opened his mouth,

'Hmm, so when he became a member of someone's family, he had no choice but to obey?'

It would be perfect for slavery.

'Cold.'

I looked at my new lottery with happy eyes.

***

The day after making Pur mine, I ran down the stairs with a happy face after a long time.

“Your mood is good today, Miss.”

"Yes!"

The servants laughed at me.

'Not only am I happy, my holy power is also starting to recover.'

I hummed and headed to the living room. When I peeked out the door, my aunt was with Cecilia. My aunt looked at Cecilia with a displeased expression.

“I know very well your relationship. How dare I, a humble man, aim for the position of empress. I'm just a tool for Dubbled-”

“It's not about that. It's about you.”

“…….”

"Can you hold on?"

In an instant, Cecilia's eyes widened. Cecilia had a confused expression on her face as if she had come prepared to be rebuked by my aunt.

“My aunt looks really cold, but actually she's good!”

Cecilia and my aunt laughed out loud at the same time after I said that.

“Yes, I'm kind. Especially for my lover.”

My aunt pinched my cheek a little.

"We became very close."

My aunt is better at me than my brothers. Cecilia then smiled and said playfully,

“Javelin fans will be very envious to hear it. By the way, why is my non wearing outerwear?”

"I'll go with you to the palace."

Not everyone can participate in the election. Only exceptional women who have been recommended by noble families can participate. Usually the recommended women would enter the palace along with the family or guardians who recommended and helped them.

"Why…"

“It is better for him, now the symbol of Dubbede, to be present at my place, because I am only a substitute for the place of the previous Duchess. Also, my cute cunning like a snake and brave like a lion.”

My aunt wiped my cheek and said that, I smiled innocently in front of my aunt and secretly exchanged glances with Cecilia.

'Although Empress Dowager and Empress Yvonne will interfere, I will definitely make Cecilia empress.'

***

However, her enemies were not only the Empress Dowager and Empress Yvonne. I laughed out loud when I saw what happened before the event even started.

“I, I'm sorry, Miss! Please kill me!"

The waiter, who spilled wine onto Cecilia's dress, knelt down. The eyes of the people there, including the participants, were focused on us. Some came to us and chimed in, and,

"Gosh my god."

"Are you okay? The royal family is coming soon..”.

A red-haired woman sighed and looked at Cecilia's face.

'Oh, hey. That's you.'

Gloria Amboise's. She's Marquis Amboise's daughter. My godmother said she was supported by the Empress Dowager.

“The Empress Dowager has placed Yvonne as empress. At first, Yvonne honored the Empress Dowager, who allowed her to enter the palace, but after she monopolized power in the palace, she became a thorn in the Empress Dowager's eyes.

"So, the Empress Dowager tried to push Empress Yvonne away by using Lady Amboise?"

"You're smart, son."

The other women also had sad expressions on their faces, but they could not hide the hostility that was in their eyes. There were many women with different backgrounds sent to compete.

Some were supported by Empress Dowager such as Lady Amboise, some were supported by other noble families, and even temples. This place was like a battlefield without sword fighting because everyone had their own desires. Lady Amboise said as she gently covered her smiling lips with a fan.

"What to do? It was supposed to be an outdoor party, but if you go to change clothes, His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Dowager will already arrive. ”

Then the other young lady raised their eyebrows and added,

“Although so, isn't it rude to see them in such a state?”

“Stop, Lady it will know. Even ordinary people would know that they could not see His Majesty like that.”

“Mrs Amboise! How can you say that in front of Lady Dubbede!”

"Geez, I'm sorry, miss."

It was to ridicule Cecilia, who was not a noble and I as an orphan.

'Oh, it's been a long time since I've heard such a thing. I like it, I like it.'

I could see the ridicule underlying them when I experienced this in my first and second life. Because back then, I was known as the fake child of fate and the successor of Mina. But Cecilia's face was pale.

“I can understand what you are saying to me, but...!”

I immediately grabbed Cecilia's hand. He looked at me and was confused, but I smiled and said to the woman, I know,

"Is that really a mistake?"

"Of course."

"So every mistake should be forgiven?"

“Of course, miss.”

I picked up a glass of juice as I looked around the women who couldn't hide the ridicule they saw me.

“Aah-!”

I poured my juice on Lady Amboise's dress.

"What's this…!"

"I'm sorry, I made a mistake!"

“A, what?”

I put down the glass and wiped my hands.

“Will you forgive me? It's an error.”

"Cannot be. How could this be a mistake..!”.

That time,

"Your Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress Dowager have arrived."

The voices of the servants, announcing their arrival, echoed. I took Cecilia's hand and quietly retreated from the middle. As the Emperor and the Empress Dowager sat on the podium, the women and their recommenders immediately bowed.

"Glory to the empire."

The Empress Dowager nodded her head with a happy expression.

"Everyone put your head up."
