The Baby Who Raised the Devil

I'll Adopt You (5)

Next it was Henry's turn.

It wasn't as fierce as Isaac, but he was definitely an incredible talent.

Henry also gave off an aura

Instead, he handled the aura more carefully than Isaac.

However, when his training partner was replaced, he failed to show his strength. Henry's new opponent was an old man with gray hair. Despite being much weaker than his former opponent, who was young, Henry fell to the floor several times.

"Did you treat me like an old man?"

The opponent shouted at Henry, and made the impression that he thought so too.

“Don't ignore me!”

Henry quickly got up and avoided the old soldier, but soon saw something as his pupils widened. Immediately the boy dropped his head, and at the same time the sword fell from his hand. The old soldier raised his neck with solid ground.

'You will get hurt!'

"No"

I shouted and rushed among the old soldier while stretching out my hand in front of Henry.

“Don't hit Henwy! (Don't hit Henry!)”

"Son, this is fair play."

The old soldier smiled awkwardly and said, but I frowned.

“Henwy does not take the sword, it is in the tawnah(Henry does not take the sword, it is on the ground.)”

“……”

“Not a game for kawkek to get angry. (It's not a game to make grandfather angry.)”

The old soldier groaned and looked at the sword that Henry had dropped.

"Oh no, ……. I think I got too swept up in the fight. ”

The old soldier reached out to help Henry. But Henry stood alone, and did not hold his hand.

Henry came out of the training ground, I rushed over and pulled his arm.

"What are you doing?"

“Henwy stupid.bewrikan medicine. (Henry injured, give medicine.)”

"No, thank you."

“Your admiration for the doctor? Oh the owl doctor is good (Are you afraid of the doctor? Oh, the old doctor was good.)”

He treated me well when I was sick. I'm not afraid of him.

“I'm not afraid of doctors! I just hate parents–!”

The child who was shouting like that suddenly shut his mouth. Standing by the roadside, I looked at him.

'Don't say you don't like old people'

I realized the hidden state of Dubbled because I had been the son of a duke many times.

Dubbled is a wealthy family with wealth, power, and fame on the surface, but in it there is a terrible battle. From generation to generation, Dubbled children must give up the warm attention of their parents to enjoy the abundant wealth their predecessors have achieved. The direct lineage of Dubbled was raised to the hands of their predecessors and close associates at birth. It was only a few days so they could meet their parents.

Since childhood, the system has been designed to give absolute loyalty to the family and to appoint the most prominent successors. And the Duke's current children, were all raised in their hands until his predecessor died.

'The scary old man'

Duke Amity, the father of my first life, shuddered every time he mentioned the Dubbled tradition.

“ Cain Dubbled is a terrible guy. Isn't that the devil who killed his second son, Chris, in front of his grandson? Do you know why the murder happened? Because he doesn't meet Dubbeds' standards. He killed her because he didn't need a child like that. ”

What if Henry was the grandson that was with him when he killed the second son?

"Then you will be traumatized by the old man."

I clenched my fists. No matter how smart you are, you are just a child. This is a child who considers trauma in the elderly as a disability. And Henry must have hidden the abuse because he thought it was a flaw.

'People didn't know about this abuse because Henry had hidden it thoroughly.'

Teramore must have known Henry's obsession with perfection. So he dared to harass the Duke's son. What a horrible old man

'So what do we do now?'

The smart way is to shut up. Will people trust me when I'm this small? Unlike previous incidents in Dubbled, the case involved followers. People here have been seeing Teramore longer than I have. Of course, his credibility was higher for him.

'What I've built so far can fall apart.'

But-the

Henry's hands were trembling. I can't turn away from that kid. I stroked Henry's head. Then the surprised child pulled my hand.

"What are you doing?"

I let out a breath

"What the fuck….."

“I'll protect you, Henly. (I'll protect you, Henry.)”

Henry narrowed his forehead with an expression on his face

I can't help it, I'll protect you. So pay me later.

Two days later, I went with Lea to the office. As I poked my face through the crack in the door, Nos, who was with Duke, approached me, calling me, "Little Miss."

Nos bent his knees and made eye contact with me, while asking.

"What's going on here?"

I'm gonna dig up information on Teramore.

Knowing your enemies will lead to a plan to defeat them. But I can't get any in-depth information from my position. 'Then, you need to find someone who has a lot of information.'

Duke Dubbled, who owned one of the Empire's largest intelligence units.

“I missed dyuke”(I missed duke)

Nos who saw me said,

Then he hugged me and headed towards the Duke.

"Leblaine is here."

The Duke quickly took me away and put me on his lap. I put my hand on the table, and peeked at Duke's papers.

"What do you see so close?"

I was very surprised and quickly made an excuse.

“Your writing is ugly. Waw! (Your writing is good. Wow!)”

“You admire me for no reason”

And then Nos laughed.

“You don't know how to write yet, do you?.”

Duke took out a blank piece of paper from one side of the table, placed a pen in my hand, and covered the back of my hand with his large, warm hand. I was wondering what you were going to do, but you seemed to be holding my hand on blank paper and writing for me instead. My hand didn't move very well, so it was a bit crooked, but I could read the letters at a glance.

Once more.

“Can you read it?”

“Weblaine is my name. (Leblaine is my name.)”

"He remembered it because the waiter wrote it often."

Hearing Nos words, Duke laughed and stroked my head. Indeed Duke did things with me beside him in the Office. I heard this and that, keep calm so as not to disturb.

“How is the development of a new advisory body?”

"I'll tell the followers about today."

"What's that?"

Most of them are political stories. But there are also useful stories. There will be vacancies in senior positions, so the board will elect a new committee member. The candidate is Teramore. Besides him, there's Myshank.

***

That afternoon. I pretended to play, spending time in the park in front of the crowded entrance. Sitting on Lea's lap, picking flowers, peeking at her watch.

'It's four o'clock ....'

Viscount Myshack is said to have an appointment with the Duke at 16:30, so he will pass through the gate this time. I was wondering when you would come, so I pulled my neck out, and someone entered through the gate.

Brown curly hair, drooping eyes, there were also cuts under his chin. He looks around his mid-thirties. It's exactly the same as the picture.

I hugged his shoulder and said to Leah,

“This is diwngin (cold,)”

"Then, should we go inside?"

“No, I'll make an iwni and give it to Nea. (I'll make this and give it to Lea.)”

When I showed her the flower crown I made, Lea held her cheek and said, “You want to give it to me?”

Leah, who looked around and made sure that there were guards far away, got up.

"I'll take my coat and blanket."

"Yes." Yeah."

As Lea rushed in, I saw Myshank coming through the gate. As he was about to enter, he found me and turned towards me.

“I see the famous destiny boy here. My name is Carl Myshank.”

“I Bwaine. Hi."(I'm Blaine.Hai)

Let me greet you with childishness as possible. He looked at me from top to bottom. He seemed to be curious as to why I was attracting Duke's interest.

“What are you doing here? It's cold.”

That's right, I'm waiting for that question. I laughed and said,

“Waiting for the Tera kawkek. (Waiting Grandpa Tera)”

“Teramore?”

As expected, once he was mentioned, his face did not look good.

“Lebwaine will also take classes with Henly and Isyaac (Leblaine will also take classes with Henry and Isaac.)”

Myshank's mouth twisted as I said that I was waiting to ask for a class together.

“You misunderstood something. Teramore is a parent who is not qualified to teach Dubbeds. His knowledge is not so broad and..”.

As I blinked intentionally, Myshank told me easily.

“That means you can't learn anything from Teramore”

“No, kawkek is smart. (No, grandfather was smart.)”

"What did he tell you?"

“She said that she is weaving really cool clothes now. (He says he's wearing a really cool robe now.)”

That means the dark red cloak worn by the Senate, which represents Dubbled.

'Myshank, the robe you want.'

As I spoke with my hands raised, his face immediately changed.

"Did he say that?"

“Yes, chat with other men. Bwaine heard it.”(Yeah, he was chatting with another guy.Blain heard it)

"That doesn't make sense. His position is......!”

“You didn't mean to be chairman,··”

Chairperson......Myshank's face hardened.
