The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Mysterious Sounds (1)

A person's voice flowed into my head and somehow, that voice alone managed to change my gaze. With my eyes out of control, everything in front of my eyes became blurry and dark.

I could feel my heart beating against my ribcage, racing against the dizziness that had appeared in my head.

"Kid."

"Well……"

Bum, boom, boom, boom.

The sound of my heartbeat filled my ears. My lungs were tight and I couldn't breathe. Dizziness is annoying and my vision is getting darker and darker.

I could feel the world spinning nonstop. My feet staggered and….

Thumping!

I fell on the cold hard floor with a thud.

'…'

“Blain!”

I could hear the voices of Henry and Isaac near the room. Before they could arrive, my mind was already immersed in my last thoughts.

'Who is that guy?'

'Why do I feel so nauseous when I hear that voice?'

***

How long has it been…? I tried to open my eyes and move my body, but my eyelids felt like they were tightly sewn together and my hands weighed a ton.

“Why doesn't he open his eyes when there's no problem with him? Did you check it thoroughly? Answer me unless you want to die!”

“Check him again. Find out why he fell unconscious. If you can't, don't even think of leaving this room alive.”

My ears were immediately filled with angry roars, impatient voices.

“Stop, Henry, Isaac. “

'What is the duke's voice?'

The dull sound of footsteps rang out in the silence of pin-drops. The footsteps finally stopped. A scream suddenly pierced through everyone's ears and a barrage of pleas followed.

“I said, Sir! There's nothing wrong with him! She's healthy!”

“Then why he hasn't woken up.”

“T-but really!”

“If you can't wake her, I'll cut all of you're throats. “

'What?!'

In shock, I opened my eyes wide. It doesn't feel as heavy as before.

“Blain..!”

“Leblain!”

Two blurred shadows began to form under my hazy gaze. It was Henry and Isaac.

'No, why are they here?'

I scanned the room as I blinked my eyes to remove the thin fog that covered my gaze. I was lying on the bed, while Henry and Isaac were glued to the side of my bed. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Lea's figure behind them. Thirty doctors kneeling on the floor and standing in front of the doctors were dukes with Nos behind him.

“Duk.” (Duke.)

I called out to him, but my voice was hoarse, yet the duke could still hear my voice. He came to my bedside.

"Are you okay?"

As I nodded, ******** a relief came out of the duke's mouth. Immediately after, he turned his head towards the doctors. I took a deep breath in my mind.

"Thank God, I woke up in time."

The child of fate sent from the church collapsed in Dubbled, so the doctors were called to examine the child. Unfortunately, they were unable to diagnose what the problem was and why I fainted.

But I fainted not because of their fault. It's my fault for sneaking into the room.

The Duke opened his mouth.

"Now Leblaine is awake-"

Yeah, I want to let the doctors go.

“Kill all doctors. “

'What?!'

I looked at Duke in shock. The doctors are no better than me. Everyone could see the trembling of their limbs in the room.

"There's no point for an incompetent person who doesn't even know why a child might faint."

Henry and Isaac, next to the duke, looked at the doctors with cold eyes. It was evident from their unchanging expressions that they supported the duke's decision.

'What are you two doing?!'

"Your Majesty, please reconsider your decision."

Nos tries desperately to persuade the duke to release them, but Dubbled insists and nothing can change his decision.

"If you try calling another doctor to the mansion, it will take two weeks."

"So?"

"When little miss's body gets in trouble again, there won't be a doctor treating her, will there?"

The Duke frowned. When Nos saw the duke's reaction, he realized that his words were working. Seeing a glimmer of hope, Nos' face brightened.

I don't want Nos' efforts to dissuade the duke in vain, in an attempt to support him, I quickly made excuses for the doctors.

“Dyuke, I'm not sawkit. It's because things are divinely straightened, that's why doctors don't help. If I sawkit, surely the doctor will help.” (Duke, I'm not sick. It was because of things related to gods, that was why the doctors were unable to help. If I'm sick, the doctor can help.)

As I said so, I looked at the Duke pleading, begging,

The eyes of everyone in the room turned towards me and the duke. The doctors put on a hopeful expression as they looked at me as if they had found their savior.

I could only roll my eyes and close my mouth while pretending to cough.

"…Coughs!"

“…!”

The duke's eyes widened before he let out a thunderous roar.

“Isn't that the flu? Go and take care of him!”

"Rurry!"

Over thirty doctors rushed to my bed in perfect rows. After that, I tried hard to act as if I had the flu and all the doctors were relieved that they had avoided the duke's death sentence.

***

The lies of a desperate child are devoured by the duke and the doctors are lucky enough to save their lives.

Of course, the expert doctors saw my trick. When they checked on me, they soon found out that the flu was just acting. Maybe that's why every time they see me, they will call me with gratitude, “Nak ...”

That help touched heavily on Baron Morr, director of Dubbled Castle Medical Center, in particular.

"Little girl, me, Adam Morr will definitely return the favor."

“I've been married for ten years and my wife is pregnant with our child. Without your help, I would have died without ever seeing my first child, ”

he continued.

"Little lady, you are my benefactor."

It's a good thing that I saved these innocent doctors. Most of them are a husband and father of a family. If they died, their families would be doomed.

'But what was that voice?'

That voice came from time to time since I touched Newt.

'Is that stone cursed?'

Whether I was cursed or could not be found as soon as I went to the pastor, but I really did not want to get involved with the church in any way.

I wondered what happened after I fainted. Apparently, Isaac and Henry moved me directly from the west wing. The two children had scolded the doctor when they could not figure out my illness.

"It was unexpected."

Especially Henry.

The same goes for the duke who is always cold-hearted.

"You don't hate me."

Instead, aren't their feelings more like help? I closed my mouth with both hands and laughed cheerfully. All the time, I used to chase after them and building up good feelings in the end was not in vain.

When I was adopted, it was like heaven to me, but the obstacles would come with age. The true child of destiny will be revealed in the future. Soon after, I will be the victim in the ritual to seal the evil spirit and this is not something that Duke Dubbled said.

'How much money should I save for the future?'

I crawled into bed with my elephant bag.

"One, two, three, .., twenty-five."

I looked at the pile of coins with a happy smile and put it back in the bag.

'When I've collected enough money, I will go to the information guild and create a fake ID.'

I have to do this as soon as possible. Soon, about a year later, the law will be revised and union workers will pay more attention to local population data.

'I'm short on time and I can't depend on one source forever. If this continues, the money I collected will be far from enough.'

It's time to make a dark fund. I can't make a gold mud fund like Henry, but I can find other ways to make money. I smiled and looked at the calendar.

'A fugitive criminal is coming to Dubbled.' soon.'

The amount of the reward was huge as he was involved in the incident in the imperial palace. If I hand it over to the authorities, I'll be rewarded for arresting him.

Even a child can get the prize.

But how did he get into Dubbled castle again? I heard he got caught while working in the mansion. Is she one of the servants?

'Now that I think about it, finding it would be so easy. I just need to check all the new servants in the mansion.'

Just as I was about to leave the room, a soft body smashed into me.

'Ouch!'

Lea stood in front of me, she rubbed my red nose and examined my body to look for wounds. Because there's only a small bump there's no bruising on my body. When Lea saw that I was fine, she let out a sigh of relief.

"You woke up early today, little lady."

Lea asked affectionately and I answered boldly,

"Yes!"

“I'm glad you're so energetic in the morning. By the way, where are you going?”

I can't possibly tell Lea that she's going to visit the butler's room to check the waiter list.

I turned my eyes and muttered.

“Library.” (Library.)

"Didn't you borrow a lot of fairy tale books yesterday?"

“I want new yawng... learn! I'll learn!” (I want a new one to learn! I'll learn!)

Lea held one cheek with her hand, pondering, before she nodded in agreement.

"I understand you're getting closer to learning letters. I'll tell Duke soon. He will give you a good teacher.”

'No!'

I've learned the Imperial language three times. That's not necessary at all.

But Leah said proudly, "You are amazing, little lady."

I felt desperate at the idea of having to learn the Empire language from scratch in my fourth life as well.

***

When the duke heard the news, he immediately sent Leblaine a teacher. He is an alumnus of the Faculty of Medicine and was ranked first when he graduated. He was also the youngest person ever to pass the imperial administrative examination which was well-known and experienced in teaching the nobles.

“No.”

Of course, it was the famous teacher who taught Henry and Isaac as well.

“Do you not have any updates?” (Do you have no job?)

"Little monsieur... If you could see how much paper was piled up on my desk, you would cry with me."

Nos muttered with misty eyes.

I can't imagine how many jobs Nos would have, especially with the recent incident. That must have added to the workload for him.

He's really pathetic. Working with a cold-blooded and demanding boss.

“Now, let's start the class. For our first meeting, you will have to learn the Imperial alphabet first. Please see this card.”

No doubt, Nos was a capable man. Not only was he good at handling documents, but he was also a competent teacher. The explanation is smooth and the examples are right on target, no wonder all children under his upbringing can learn quickly.

“Come, little lady, repeat after me. Games"

"Games…."

“What about other words that use G?”

“Gweat, gwow, go, gush, guwible..” (Great, growing, going, gushing, gullible ..).

As I continued, Nos whispered in a low voice.

“Ahh... I'm dying of cuteness.”

“You are very smart, little lady. I can't wait to have more administrators in the mansion, so I can focus on taking care of your education.

Appoint an administrator?
