The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Traveling to the Past (1)

Does this make any sense?

I pinched my cheek with a confused expression.

'That hurts…'

I couldn't believe it even though I had pinched my cheek, so I stared blankly at Lea and Reina who were away.

When I get out of my stupor, they'll disappear completely.

"This is not the time."

"Excuse me!"

As I shouted, Lea and Reina looked at me in surprise. Adrian whispered to me.

"Leblaine, we better not do anything here."

I glanced at him in wonder.

"Huh? Did you also notice that this was the past?

Adrian is an amazing kid.

I don't know exactly what happened, but if it's really from the past, it's okay not to do anything.

Because my little actions might change something in the future.

Especially when it comes to Lisette, I don't know what kind of butterfly effect I'll see later.

'Something like this happens every time I go back in time.'

Adrian's changed fate was the result of my actions.

I could not determine the reason why Adrian's maternal grandfather was so quiet in this life, and for that reason Adrian was not expelled from the imperial family.

'I know for a fact that changing the past is really dangerous.'

My regression always started at the age of four. If I had done something wrong today, I would probably never have been in the Dubbede family.

The reason my father didn't go to war with the temple until I was adopted is because there is no clear evidence that the temple was involved in Lisette's death.

However, if Lisette was still alive and Lea's memories were not manipulated, there would be evidence that the temple was involved in the case.

Then the Empress Dowager couldn't give me to the Dubbede family that fought the temple.

In a worst-case scenario, Dubbede may lose the war and perish.

'But I know…….'

I thought of my father, who couldn't sleep well every night.

Even the way she stroked the youngest child's shoes was unknown to anyone, and the way she did it on the day of Lisette's death.

I grabbed my skirt tightly and shouted at Lea and Reina who were looking at me.

"There's a cave near here!"

"The cave? It's impossible."

Lea frowned.

“My sister knows this place best, but there is no such thing as cave.”

"No, we just got out of the cave!"

I clasped my hands together desperately, and Lea narrowed her eyes in disbelief. Suddenly, Reina said.

"Where's that? Please guide us.”

“Sister, do you have time to worry about that shit? Lisette and the youngest child.....!”.

"I know, but it's urgent."

Reina came up to me and grabbed my shoulder.

'He smells like Lea .......'

Lea in the past smelled different to Lea in the future.

Lea in the past smelled like blood while Lea in the future smelled very fragrant, like a sun-dried blanket.

A sweet smell came from Reina now.

"Can you show me around?"

I nodded, “Ya!”

“By that way!”

I took Lea and Reina to the cave.

The two people who confirmed that there really was a cave took a deep breath.

"Yes God. Thas right.…."

Lea muttered, as Reina bent her knees and set her eyes on me.

“Thank you, Nak.”

He took a little to the right and placed it in my hand.

“This is a gift.”

“You don't need.”

“Take it and stay here for a while. There's an unknown person on this mountain right now. It would be dangerous if we met them when we went down the mountain, so we had to hide.”

"OKAY……."

Reina smiled gently at me and rushed over to Lea.

"Hurry up and get Lisette."

"Yes." Yeah."

Lea ran in a hurry.

And some time later, I came back with someone else.

'Cecilia!'

It was Cecilia, obviously, supporting someone beside Lea.

As expected, the memory manipulation is correct. Cecilia was with them during childbirth.

'Then the cloaked man .......'

I stared blankly at the person supported by Lea and Cecilia.

Lisette.

A person who is loved by everyone in Dubbede, and still cannot forget him.

She is Duchess Dubbede.

***

Reina put the robe she was wearing on the floor and started preparing to give birth.

Cecilia came with water from a nearby river, and Leah made a campfire and boiled water.

And after boiling the handkerchief and cloth, they boiled fresh water again.

Adrian and I helped them. I collected dry branches for firewood, and Adrian guarded the cave with Leah, who had finished his work.

“A branch! This will keep the water from cooling down, right?”

"Thank you."

“Se...no, are you the only knight in the cave?”

“Yes, my sister and I helped her give birth.”

I stood beside Adrian and glanced at them.

"I want to see it."

I couldn't get a closer look at Lisette because many helped her give birth. But I also want to see the youngest child born at my father's place.

'But what if I bring misfortune to them instead because I'm here .......'

I touched my fingers, and I heard a small voice next to me.

That's Lea's voice.

"Thank you."

"What?"

“About the cave.. sorry for this misunderstanding.”.

Lea is so sweet.

He still could not hide his friendly self.

"It's okay!"

"…Yes.Yes."

Hehe, while laughing, he said,

“There's someone coming.” Adrian said.

Lea hurriedly looked around her. Even though they are very far away, it must be the knights who came towards us.

"Damn!"

Lea quickly trampled on the bonfire and turned to the cave.

“Let's go after them.”

Cecilia came out with a pale face.

“There should be no fighting here. I couldn't protect her when I helped give birth.”

“Then I will lure them, so you stay with Lisette.”

"Yes." Yeah."

“…..Brother please.”

Cecilia nodded and returned to the cave. Then Lea told us.

"You run while I lure them away."

Then he ran while holding the sheath. I'm standing.

'What are we doing?'

There are about a thousand knights. Lea dealing with them alone was akin to suicide.

'But even if I go, I can't help him.'

I tried to use my divine power several times to help Lisette give birth, but my mana did not accumulate at all.

It seems like I used my divine power too much, or there was another problem.

Since I cannot use my divine power, I will only become a hindrance. Then Adrian started following Lea.

"Where are you going? Do you want to help? Can you use magic?”

"No. But I learned swordsmanship, so it will be very helpful.”

“You said we can't do anything. And you have no reason to help either. ”

"But you want to help them."

"…Huh?"

As I opened my eyes wide, Adrian smiled slightly and patted my head.

“Then, it is enough.”

Adrian hurriedly followed Lea.

'The Fool ...'

What if he dies here?

Lea will survive. But his memories were manipulated and he was so badly injured that he would never be able to use Aura like he used to.

'But Adrian.No, Adrian has good swordsmanship skills, so if he helps him, they may not be seriously injured…'

As I was pondering, fireflies gathered in front of me, and before long they gathered together to form a silhouette. It looked at me and pointed in the direction where Lea and Adrian disappeared.

"You told me to go there ......?"

Then it formed a mouth and opened.

[Quickly, don't miss this opportunity.]

That voice echoed in my head. But I doubt it.

"Can't be .. Are you a demon?"

Then a figure like a silhouette began to appear by itself. It had silver hair and looked very similar to Boone.

“...You are Mr Boone right?”

[It doesn't matter now.]

When I found out his identity, I could even hear his voice clearly.

[This is an opportunity he has arranged for you. Don't miss it like this.]

“What... Lea will survive even if I let it be like this.”

[Really?]

Whahuh? As I widened my eyes, there was a sharp look in the eyes of the devil.

[Will they really survive?]

"What did you say?"

As I pondered over his words, I suddenly realized something.

"Maybe it's not just the past."

“Because I came to the past, does that mean the future in the present is different?”

Demons laughing.

[So, live, son, he, we.].

The demon's voice began to muffle again. I said, "Wait!" but the devil soon disappeared.

I can't shake my doubts, but I understand. So here it is.

"I had to move in so that Lea could live."

Also, I can find the secret between Lisette and the youngest child here. I ran fast.
