The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Traveling to the Past (8)

In the morning, she looked at Leblaine's face after she fell asleep on her bed.

"There is a message from the emperor to return before morning."

"Send Javelin instead."

"But the Lady ......"

When Theodore was silent, Nos lowered his head and left the room.

She gently stroked the hair of her sleeping daughter.

Why can't he protect her?

The oath he held dearly had been broken. In the end, he thought love was not worth it. If a feeling of love makes him wander the desert without an oasis for the rest of his life, he vows to live without it.

Then, he suddenly appeared in his life.

“Please be my father.”

He was a cowardly father who turned away from his fervently clasped hands, and although he was a foolish father, he did not give up.

"I'm gonna love it 'cause she's my dad's daughter."

She loved him so much. She could not forgive herself for not being able to recognize her own daughter even when she was in front of her all this time.

'How can I live without you in my arms?'

“Leblaine.”

His voice was filled with sadness and guilt.

His emotions that he tried to close his eyes to finally finish the family. It saved him, and made him embrace those who were precious to him.

[The day will surely come when a child will show you how great love is.]

It was as if he could hear the voice of the woman he had loved all his life in his ears.

Lisette's right.

[See?]

Yeah, he's right

He's always right.

***

When I wake up, it's morning. But my body feels heavy.

'Ugh-gh.'

I thought I was sick, so I slowly opened my eyes.

"What's this?"

When I turned to the right, Isaac was sleeping with one of my legs on his feet as if I were a puppet. As I turned to the left, Henry fell asleep, sitting upright, without making a sound. And look ahead…

"Do you sleep well?"

"Aah!"

Johann suddenly appeared and I cried out in surprise. He opened his eyes and said.

“I didn't mean to surprise you.”

“How... No, why are these people sleeping with me? In dad's room too?”

"We came to wake you up in the morning, but we couldn't wake you up until we fell asleep together."

"What time is it?"

"Jam twelve."

I screamed again.

Crazy one!

No matter how tired I am from things, I must be crazy to wake up at this hour.

“They'll be looking for me at the Imperial Palace. Geez, I can't go back at the promised time, so..!”.

"Javelin was sent instead."

My father suddenly said so. As I turned my head, my father, who had been sitting down, approached me.

"So more sleep."

"It's okay……."

"You can sleep longer."

When I hesitated, my father patted my head. Johann smiled, Henry and Isaac who were sleeping next to me frowned because we disturbed their sleep. I feel a little embarrassed.

'If others see it, we really look like a real family.'

In my first life, I was envious of Mina and Duke Amity, lying on the sofa in the living room while taking a nap together.

Mina, who was asleep on Duke Amity's arm, looked very peaceful, so I really wanted to be together with someone like this.

“Then a little..”.

I smiled, lay down on the bed, and pulled the blanket towards us slowly. As soon as the blanket reached Isaac's chin and Henry's stomach, Henry turned around and lay down.

'Oh, it's easier than expected.'

As I laughed, Johann smiled and pushed Isaac away, as he lay on the spot.

“Agh!”

Isaac fell off the bed and rubbed the back of his head.

Johann completely ignored Isaac, stretching out his hand and glancing at me.

"You want me to lie there?"

“You're smart. You are our mother's daughter. ”

“Maybe because she's my daughter.”

Dad says it but Johann ignores it.

I chuckled and lay on Johann's stiff arm.

Isaac, who had not fully woken up, pushed Johann and sat down next to him. Dad looked at us with an unhappy expression.

"Do you have no work to do?"

“I have arranged it so that there is no problem even if I rest in days like this.”

"Yes, if you work too hard, you will be punished."

As I, the former beggar, nodded my head, Johann smiled as Dad watched us roll around on the bed happily. Sunlight entered through the large window, and a pleasant cool breeze ruffled my hair.

'I'm happy.'

I felt very sad yesterday, but I am very happy today. Even if sad things happen, today's memories will give me hope for tomorrow. I thought, maybe this is a gift from my mother.

“Mother is an amazing person.”

As I muttered, Johann looked at me calmly and said,

"Very."

“I went to the past yesterday. On the day mom died.”

"… Is that possible?"

“I'm sure mom accidentally left some of her strength in the temple. I found it by accident. I have seen Cecilia as a knight, and I have seen the sweet Reina. She looks like Lea!”

"I remember Reina too."

Hearing Johann's words, Dad laughed and added.

"You said you'd marry Reina before."

“...... I was a kid back then. Don't mock me.”

“…….”

Johan remained silent. I opened my eyes and poked my shirt pocket.

"What is this?"

"How can…!"

“Reina gave it to me. Because I found a cave so my mother could give birth. At that time, I didn't know that I was that kid.”

After saying that, I told him.

"My brother, I'll give it to you."

After I handed it over, Johann smiled and put the ring back in my hand.

"Then I'll give it to you this time."

“Is marriage easy for you?”

“He's like a playboy. Leblaine, it is difficult if you marry such a man, so you better marry me.”

Isaac and Henry got up and spoke. Johann replied, "Whispering." When he closed his mouth.

Henry clapped Johann's hand and asked.

"And?"

"Huh?"

"Are you talking to mom too?"

My family is full of strange people. Even if I told them an unbelievable story, they would still believe it if I told them. I was so happy that I laughed and continued,

"of course! My mom also calls me.”

“Pasti nice.”

“Mother is a very good person. He kicked ************ the bad guy.”

Then, the father muttered with a bitter expression, "Lisette's kick hurts." as if she was the one suffering.

“Daddy also experienced it?”

"Son, my aunt said it, but if my father wasn't trained, some bones would break."

"Mom just hit the bad guys!"

When I said that, Henry raised an eyebrow.

"Nobody's as bad as us or dad."

"Henry."

Henry shrugged, as father called out to him grimly.

“You taught me to interpret everything from an objective point of view.”

"That's right, you said so!"

"Yes." Yeah."

When did my older brother who was afraid of our father turn out like this?

I giggled and said, "That's right." and nodded. I just clicked his tongue.

“When we first met, your mother was like a wild cat.”

"Wild cat?"

“He was always skeptical of people. And he doesn't know what to do when people notice him.”

“He's like you.”

"That's the proper interpretation from an objective point of view, Leblaine."My brothers laughed at my words.

“As expected, she is our mother's daughter.”

"Yes." Yeah."

My father frowned as my brothers and I laughed together

“After all, mom is a strong person. Even when Paul confronted him for neglecting his sacred duty.”

“Paulus?”

"Saint?"

Henry and Isaac got up and looked at me.

“That's Cardinal Paul. One of the closest servants of the Pope.”

"There's no cardinal by that name, Leblaine."

'No way.'

Much has changed from his first life to the present, but Paul has never disappeared.

And in this life.no wow.

“I didn't change anything in the end.”

“Obviously something has changed.”

Adrian.

I put my face in my hands.

"Root."

"Leblaine?"

“Maknae*.”

*TL Note: this means the youngest child.

My older brother looked at me, and my father's gaze was curious as well.

"You're right, Adrian."

There must be things that my mother and I have changed. I want to tell her this.

When will he come back? Can he come back? Can I get it back?

Even in the midst of happiness, the anxiety that filled my head resurfaced.

But I changed something. Adrian's misfortune can also turn into luck. When I say it like that, I feel very comfortable.

'Ah, the weather's good today.'

Mom, the weather here is great.

And it's nice to be able to think about my mom on a nice day.

The cold wind again ruffled my hair. It was as if my mother was stroking my head.

***

Pope's Office.

A hooded man was walking near the lake while holding a jar.

When he reached the lake, the man subconsciously looked into the water.

Bumping-!!

The man who missed the jar hurriedly took off his hood and picked up something.

“A...big news! A prophecy has appeared!”

Faint letters peeked out from behind the man's back as he dashed out.

[Son of the Gods. On the night when the red moon rises, escape from the wrong world and come here to save us.]

The new God-fated child has finally arrived.
