The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Unraveling His Intention (7)

The Empress Dowager looked at the young ladies with a happy expression. He could not hide his excitement since the announcement of the selection was made. Previously, she was pushed back by Camilla, after which, she had to give Empress Elsa authority, and then Empress Yvonne monopolized power.

So this time, he must have been desperate to obtain the power of the inner palace when he was given the chance.

As expected, the Empress Dowager looked at Lady Amboise, the future Empress, whom she supported with a refined gaze. Then he was surprised and muttered,

"What the hell…"

The Emperor frowned as the Empress Dowager was about to issue inappropriate words.

"Mother."

Then the Empress Dowager coughed and asked Lady Amboise.

"What could have happened so that Lady was like this?"

When the Empress Dowager asked the question, Lady Amboise licked her lips in nervousness.

“This is my fault, Your Majesty. How can I blame a child for my mistakes?”

He pretends to think, but emphasizes the word child. I was the only child in this place. Hearing those words, the eyes of the Empress Dowager, the emperor, and everyone in that place turned towards me.

“My son, tell me. What's going on?"

When the Empress Dowager asked me, Lady Amboise secretly sneered at me.

“I accidentally spilled juice. But don't worry, Your Majesty. Lady Amboise has forgiven me.”Surprised by my words, Cecilia tried to interrupt me but I did not let her.

The Empress Dowager frowned at my brazen comments.

“Nak, it's good that you're forgiven, but don't take it lightly. Have you properly apologized to Lady Amboise? ”

As expected, the Empress Dowager, whose hobby was discriminating against people, still had nonsensical words as her specialty.

The emperor's expression hardened.

Forcing an apology in a crowded place was no different from humiliating him. Especially the daughter of Dubbede, who colluded fiery with the emperor.

“Mothers, as adults we need to forgive the mistakes of a child.”

"It's also the role of an adult to teach a child, Your Majesty."

The Empress Dowager, who cut off the emperor's words, looked back at me with a friendly face.

“Now, son. Continue."

“Your Majesty, then it is I and Miss Cecilia Olga who must accept the apology first."

"What?"

“Lady Amboise made a mistake first, but she told me that mistakes should be forgiven, so I have no choice but to forgive her.”

“Cannot be. Lady Amboise is a wise man, I guarantee it.”

“Lady Amboise calls me and Miss Cecilia Olga a commoner. My aunt said that whoever called me with that word, it meant insulting His Majesty and Dubblede.”

I kept talking with my eyes fixed on Lady Amboise.

“I am my father's daughter, sent by the Empress Dowager and adopted by Dubbede. So you can't call me that.”

Gloria Amboise didn't know what to say, because she didn't know that I was going to tell Her Majesty.

Because, in society, my origin is usually considered shameful, so he thought I would never talk about it myself.

"But I'm different."

I can say it easily.

I used to live as a beggar and listen to all kinds of insults. In my first and second life, I have heard more from people who are hostile to me.

So that humiliation means nothing to me.

“I, i...... no........ the boy deliberately said that........!”.

Gloria Amboise's words sparked criticism at the venue.

"Is a child's fault the same as an adult's?"

“He's lucky if he's not slapped. If it was me, I'd slap him.”

The Empress Dowager, who was staring at Lady Amboise, was at a loss for words and continued to knock on the table.

"Stop! What are you doing in front of the emperor?"

The Empress Dowager continued after coughing in vain as Lady Amboise and the people lowered their heads.

“I will hand this thing over to Lady Amboise and the boy. Don't hate each other.”

The people at the party were not happy.

Because they saw how the Empress Dowager quickly helped Lady Amboise's reputation. The Empress Dowager even guaranteed that the woman was wise. Right now, the faces of the Empress Dowager and Lady Amboise were completely tangled.

'Now that this happens, no one will bother Cecilia too much.'

The emperor, who was paying attention to the situation, smiled at me. His smile was like my father's smile when he was proud of me.

***

Cecilia and I walked down the hallway from the Imperial Palace to the inn reserved for the participants.

"Lady……."

Cecilia looked at me with a worried expression.

"Yes?"

"Forget the words of Lady Amboise."

“Not more than that, are you okay?”

Cecilia bit her lip as I said so.

“That's a fact for me. But to say that to a noble ……. ”

“Actually, that's not a big insult, is it? I purposely brought her in front of the Empress Dowager. ”

“... Then you know that the Empress Dowager will defend Lady Amboise?”

"Fuckin' thick! He was supported by her as expected. No matter how much the Empress Dowager supported Lady Amboise, if she were like that, the other participants would be infuriated. ”

"Then Lady Amboise will be a public enemy."

'Cecilia's smart.'

She was perfect as a queen.

Cecilia continued while rubbing her chin.

“It was luck. If those words were not criticized by other participants and recommenders, things would not have come this far.”

"Luck?"

As I tilted my head, Cecilia said to me.

"Yes, aren't we lucky?"

"Sure, if you think so."

People used to say that I was unlucky.

Can I believe in luck like that?

"Wait a minute .. Those who criticize Lady Amboise are put by you!"

I pulled the corner of my lips.

“Now it's true.”

Because of Lady Amboise's personality, I think she would definitely do something like this.

It was my godmother who helped me plant people.

“Really, you are amazing.”

"I know!"

Cecilia grinned as I showed my proud expression.

“Such amazing kids should go home and have a nice snack. I've been baking pie today. Lemon pie is my specialty. ”

"I'm happy!"

I said to Cecilia, “Come quickly go to the inn.” But then, then,

Bzztt.

I felt a little vibration. This was a similar feeling when I held the demonic passageway.

'What is this?'

I don't have a demon hallway now. The amethyst, which was clearly a demonic passageway, was stored in the inn in case of any unexpected circumstances.

'I didn't hold it in, but was there a passageway strong enough for me to feel it from this distance?'

If so, I should get it in my hands. If the temple found this and joined hands with Mina, some kind of misfortune might come to me because I am against the temple.

'Dangerous. No one is investigating.'

We could not bring servants or knights from our family while we were in the palace.

And, if Cecilia, the future empress, investigates her and is discovered, her chance as empress will be lost.

'It would be best if I, as a child, wandered around the Imperial Palace at will.'

"Cecilia, come back first."

"Huh?"

"Back."

As I spoke with a serious face, Cecilia's expression became grim. But he was an intelligent person, so he immediately realized what was happening and nodded his head.

"You should be back before dinner."

"Yes." Yeah."

After answering, I headed straight to the vibration center.

'The more I go outside, the stronger the vibration.'

And as I entered the garden, I saw a shabby building.

'The Empress Dowager's secret library.'

It was the place where I received the original Bible in return for helping him. But I didn't feel this vibration before…

'I have to check it out. To do that, I had to get rid of that guard first.'

I grabbed etwal, who was in my pocket

'Pur.'

Etwal shook slowly.

Yesterday, I heard about Pur's power.

“Devil who has bonded to something cannot do everything like before. We can only use our abilities. The demon itself would be weaker than before and there were some restrictions. But, my ability is..”

"To call the rain."

Then when Pur's power was activated, the sky darkened in an instant, and raindrops began to fall one by one. The guard guard guarding the front of the library clicked his tongue.

"These meteorologists never get the weather right."

Then he quickly left the library in search of an umbrella. My whole body is shaking.

'Wow the vibration is too much, it consumes a lot of my power like I summoned a demon.'

I gritted my teeth, made a barrier and entered the room.

[You crazy? If you do this, your divine power will be completely exhausted and you can die!]

I heard Pur's scream in my head, but I ignored him.

'This is better than a demon so powerful falling into the hands of the temple.'

I researched the inside of the library.

'What, why is the vibration weakening?'

It was clearly in the library, but once I entered it seemed to weaken.

“Who is inside..”.

They walked away with the demon hallway.

'Who ... what is this?'

I frowned and saw something like an old journal sticking out of a bookshelf.

"It is clear that someone is reading it, and they are leaving in a hurry."

I took out a journal, which was the only clue I had in the library to find the whereabouts of the person.

[Are you stupid? Don't waste your time like that…! Hey, can't you hear me? Hi!]

I didn't heed Pur's words intentionally and became stiff while holding the book.

"What's this?"

[What?]

“Why is this here? No, why is it different from my memory?”

This journal is the parenting record of the orphanage. Parenting notes are given to parents when they adopt a child. The name on the front of the journal is…

'Leblain.'

This is a journal about me.

“But why the name of the orphanage is not the name of the place I used to be, but elsewhere.”.

[Leblaine – Cebuland Nursery/ Written by Asital.]

I was in Enoch's private orphanage. Nurse, I've never been to a place like that.

I flipped through it with trembling hands.
