The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Traveling to the Past (9)

A few days later, I frowned as I checked the books in the library.

"Is this all about the devil?"

The chief shook his head lightly.

"It's so thick."

"Cannot be. Isn't this the kingdom that wrote hundreds of books on how to catch fruit flies? That's too little compared to that fruit fly. I've searched through many libraries. Can you believe that I only found 3 books? ”

“Indeed, this empire was known as the religious state of Neliard. But all the 'defiled' books were burned by them before you were born.”

As I groaned, the chief raised his head.

“I think it's pretty good to find three books.”

“But I don't think it will help at all. The title of this book is . This is a self-help.” book

Are you kidding me?

I put my hand on my waist with a surprised face.

'Pymon?'

At that moment, a bright voice sounded from the communication device on the other side of the table.

[Finding!]

I opened my eyes and hurriedly ran to the communication device.

“Seria, did you find it?”

[There is only one book. There's a book called "The Devil of Time". It's in the Vallua library.]

I raised my hand and said, "Hore!"

Father made a deal with the emperor, and Vallua was under Dubblede's control. Thanks to this, it is possible to browse through the library of Vallua.

'I'm glad Duke Vallua is trash.'

It was a strange thing to say, but in reality, if they were a family who committed crimes casually, it was very possible for them to keep books related to Devils without handing them over to the temple.

I nodded and nodded my head.

"good. Bring them all.”

[There are also blueprints of sailboats and how to make the Oriharcon Sword. Should I bring it too?]

"Of course."

[Indeed, Duke Vallua.].

"Yes, long live Duke Vallua!"

Seria, the chairman, and Zachary giggled as I shouted in joy. Trigon was the only one who shook his head.

“Lucky you are also far from moral.”

Not long ago, I told my close associates who I was and what I had seen in the past.

Seria was heartbroken with the misfortune that befell me, Trigon and Zachary couldn't even comfort her. And chief…

“There is still a wound in my heart, if you touch it casually..”.

When I spoke in a faint voice, Trigon, who was carrying the book, gasped.

"I'm sorry?"

“Think of it, Trigon. Even a wound on the body can take several years to heal completely, and it may not go away forever. Just imagine a wound in the heart that we cannot see.

“Oh no, that's not what I meant. That's joke…!"

“Trigon, there is something that cannot be called a joke.. When you hear such a thing, how heartbreaking it is..”.

I looked at the chairman with sad eyes.

“Chairman.”

Then, the chairman and Trigon opened their eyes simultaneously. I nodded and continued.

“The old man's heart is weak. The chairman was heartbroken at not being able to protect me. Ahh, if someone, who is an aide from the previous generation takes good care of me, this cute and beautiful woman will not experience such an accident.!”.

Then I opened his eyes and glanced towards the chairman. The chairman is confused. Trigon and Zachary, who were together, grinned when they realized that I was deliberately mocking the chairman to calm his mind.

"I understand. I forgot for a moment that the old man's heart was weak. Mr. Noanoke, I sincerely apologize. ”

The chairman frowned.

"Silent. Who is that cute and sweet girl? Who'sis this?"

The chief shook his head and gave me three books on Devils.

"I can't think of anything by your side."

"If you're sorry, I hope you'll repay me by working passionately instead of blaming yourself for being useless."

"Are you trying to make this old man die sooner?"

“We have to get Adrian. Now, as soon as Seria gives me the book, let's arrange it. ”

Everyone laughed out loud when they heard our conversation. As I was tidying up, I heard someone running from the hallway.

"Lady!"

It was Hans, Duke, and Seto. There was only one thing that happened if they came to the mansion.

"It's about the temple."

This was because they were tasked with checking the movements of the temple.

"What's the problem?"

"I think the prophecy has come!"

"Pregnancy?"

Is there a prophecy coming at this time?

I thought about it, but there was never such a thing right now.

"Are you sure?"

“The pope and his cardinals must have secretly visited the temple lake a few days ago. The area around the lake is always covered, but uncle Phillip said he saw some people coming in.”

"The lake of the temple is the place where the prophecy descends ..."

Hans replied with a very excited expression on his face.

"And and! They saw a God-language translator. They must have gathered there to interpret it? Right?"

Me, Trigon, and the chairman exchanged glances.

“The situation is clear. Good work, friends.”

Hans, Duke, and Seto covered their flushed cheeks and muttered, "It's our job ..."

I nodded and asked them.

"It's done well. Can you see the graffiti and bring it to me?”

It took months for the priests to interpret the new language, but I actually learned it in my first life. As long as they write it down for me, I can use the information first.

Hans shook his head.

“Taste so too.”

"I'm sorry……."

"No, it's good just knowing this."

I gave each of the good little detectives a gold coin.

The children who held the gold coins for the first time in their lives trembled.

"If something happens in the future, let me know right away."

"Yes……!"

"okay."

“You should say yes politely to a woman, Seto.”

The children saluted and disappeared.

“Yes God, what's up?”

The chairman looked at me with a stiff face.

"Who knows."

“Didn't they tell us the prophecy went down? Did this ever happen? It will never be good for us.”

"I don't care."

I answered while looking out the window at the temple roof.

“We can make it good for us.”

"…Huh?"

“I'll make sure of it. Let's go."

After returning from the past, I swear. I will never lose anything in the temple again.

'Even using all sorts of tactics.'

I smiled scary like a criminal.

***

At the Imperial Palace Tea Party, Cecilia was isolated where the candidates for the election gathered.

The Empress Dowager took her revenge on Cecilia because of a previous incident.

Javelin was supposed to be his shield, but that's not the case. When Javelin Ariege, the most popular figure in society, supported Cecilia, the candidates who became her followers gathered and began to slander Cecilia.

They were cautious in front of Javelin, but the day he left, they started attacking Cecilia. At this tea party, no one spoke to Cecilia.

“Are you not a Dubbede knight?”

Someone spoke to Cecilia. Cecilia replied, putting down her teacup.

"That's right."

"I don't think it's just the master-servant relationship you have with His Majesty."

"… What do you want to say?"

"That's fine. Is it reasonable to recommend a woman who is only a knight as a candidate?

"Hi!"

“Yeah, why are you angry? I asked because I was curious. Just curious."

Cecilia bit her lip..

“Do not talk carelessly. There is only loyalty and trust between me and His Majesty.”

"of course. We're just kidding.”

The candidate who spread the fan smiled.

“Only we wonder why young miss Dubbede is so kind to you. Especially when Miss Cecilia left Dubblede years ago.

Cecilia's face gradually became grim.

"I've told you to refrain from speaking carelessly."

“Of course we don't believe those rumors. But they say the reason why he treated you so well is because he is actually an illegitimate child between you and His Majesty. Where do they find such nonsense?”

Cecilia clenched her fists. He was ready to throw his gloves for the duel but they were unable to see him because his hands were under the table.

“The problem is Miss Cecilia is acting on her own. How do you behave if such a rumor ... "

That time,

"Leblaine from the Dubbede family arrives."

The luxurious door opened with the voice of the attendant, and Leblaine, dressed in red, walked across the party hall.

And…

"Agh-ah!"

He poured tea over the candidate's head. The candidate trembled like a wet rat.

"I-this, what's this-!"

"I've heard it all."

“A-what?!”

The recommendation giver who supported the girl whose hair was wet, rushed to her side.

"What's this! Anna Melissa, are you okay? Huh huh? Oh my…!"

"It is He who speaks without fear, sir."

“A-what do you mean..”.

“Dubblede will only give one warning. If you want to protect your wealth and status, think carefully.”

When the man and the candidate were shocked, Leblaine continued.

"I'll say it clearly."

Leblaine's eyes narrowed as the candidate's face flushed.

"If you touch this guy, I'll make sure you suffer."

They froze in an instant.

They all shut their mouths looking at the boy's cold eyes.

His intimidation was exactly like Javelin, and his cold eyes were exactly like Theodore's.

Leblaine reached out to Cecilia.

Like a scene from a romance novel.

"Let's go."

Cecilia gently grabbed the little boy's hand with a timid face.

"Yes…"
