The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Mysterious Sounds (8)

Not only my brothers, but many followers, administrators, officers, and high-ranking employees were also present.

It reeks of blood. Jacob, who had been beaten to a pulp, was covered with a blanket. Blood dripped from Isaac's sword and Henry's hand. Meanwhile, Seria knelt down and her head lowered.

I was worried that the soldiers would drag Seria away, but I guess they had something to ask Seria about Jacob.

The Duke asked in a low voice.

"Are you hurt?"

I answered immediately

"It doesn't hurt!"

“…….”

The Duke's gaze hardened as I muttered again.

"My head, a little."

Then the back of Henry's hand glowed blue with a fire-like pattern unlike Isaac's. A light surrounded Jacob, stretched out like an arrow, and entered between the blankets.

“Agh!”

Jacob wriggled like he was being strangled. On the other hand, Isaac rushed towards him.

"Basic bastard."

He vented his anger as he stomped on his head several times. No one dared to stop him.

"He's so scary."

"Stop."

Isaac stopped hearing the duke's words, clucked, and retreated. Then the administrators lined up in front of the duke and bent their knees. At the very front was Nos, who was in charge of all the officials within the castle. Suddenly, one of the subordinates shouted.

“I beg with a heart filled with tears. Slash the neck of Nos Eugene, who has attracted unfaithful seeds to the castle!”

Nos cannot participate in elections. My adoption case and Etwal's case, not to mention Teramore's case is to blame.

'That's why the newly appointed administrators became so chaotic.'

It was just that Nos was responsible for this, so they blamed him instead.

“…….”

I looked at the quiet Duke and Nos with a nervous heart. The duke would not easily forgive him just because he was his closest aide.

Embarrassing. He is a very talented man.

The Duke replied while gently pressing his temple with his eyes closed.

“Then do it.”

Nos replied without the slightest expression,

“No reason.”

'No, you're a liar! There's a reason for that'

Of Dubbled, the reason why they insist on holding an examination for a new employee for possible spying is because they are confident that the test will not be easily broken into by anyone and the reason why Dubbled's house is not equipped with the safety device.was that Henry, Isaac, and Duke were far superior to the knights, so they were safe even without them.

“All administrators involved in the recruitment process must face the board.”

Duke continued.

"Nos Eugene, cut your wrist."

A sword fell in front of Nos. People looked sad as if they knew this was going to happen. Nos slowly picked up the sword with trembling hands. As soon as the sword was about to touch his wrist,

"No-no!"

I wept. Everyone looked at me in wonder. The eyes of Duke and Henry grew bigger in shock. Henry and Isaac ran towards me.

"Why are you crying? Who hit you again? Who is it, who is it ?! ”

“Leblain...”.

“Dyuke scary!”

Ahh. my pride.

“Duke is also very scary for me! Many people are afraid of him too! It's natural to be scared!”

Isaac said agitatedly and Henry wiped away my tears. Duke, who was still looking at me with his eyes wide open, said something to the butler.

The butler took me and took me to the Duke.

“Leblain.”

“…….”

"Blaine."

I stretched my hand while holding my watery nose.

“Hand nwos.. don't cut”

“……”

Duke looked a little embarrassed.

'That's right, it's time.'

I held on to her legs and my face was wrinkled.

"Dyuke, I'm sorry Nos."

"…….I-i understand. Stop crying."

That's what she said, as she hugged me on her lap and wiped my tears

“……!”

“……!”

As I looked back, Nos looked at me blankly.

'You are mine now because I have protected you so far.'

That was the moment when lieutenant Duke came into my own hands.

***

Thanks to Leblaine's tears, the administrators could hardly resist being dragged to the council.

Nos wrist secure.

Nos, who was on the front line, lowered his head at the child's feet. It was a pledge of loyalty that even Johann, Dubbled's eldest son, never received.

After everything was over, Isaac and Henry walked into their private study room. Upon entering the room, Isaac was extremely quiet.

"sister."

"What?"

“Our sister, would she be like the slave we saw back then if she were taken away?”

Henry's hand, who was writing something on paper, stopped.

"….I thought."

The teacher, who had been educating the two since they were babies, said that the weak were commonly eaten by the strong. They think he's right.

Both of them were never in the position of weak people.

Even mana and their families make them supreme predators. No one and no one around them was ever weak, so they could not sympathize with the fear of the weak.

'But Leblaine'

On the heads of Isaac and Henry, the shadow of Leblaine, wearing shackles like that of Lunetia's brother, appeared.

The captured Leblaine, curled up in front of the whip and continued to cry while calling out to Henry and Isaac.

Their faces hardened.

They feel weird.

Isaac stood up and looked straight at Henry.

"Are you rebuilding 'Heaven'?"

"Why, do you want to buy a slave?"

“I didn't buy anything. Can't we just let them go? ”

Then Henry answered Isaac, who was holding the doorknob.

"Stupid, if you go and take them down, will they let the slaves go?"

Henry threw the documents he had written to Isaac.

"Go tell Nos."

"What's this?"

Henry grinned, leaning more towards the luxurious seats.

“Yeah, I'm sure you'll soon hear that the owner of Heaven committed suicide tonight.”

“You....”.

Isaac looked at him in admiration

"You're cool…"

That night, nearly a hundred slaves belonging to Heaven were released.

"…..Be longed"

“Small Phone”

When I fell asleep, I opened my eyes to a voice that seemed to be whispering in my ear. Lea and the servants looked at me from the bedside.

“After morning?”

“Already night.”

“I want to sleep again..”

As I rubbed my eyes and said that, Lea patted me.

“Master is looking for you. How about we go for a while and come back soon?”

'Duke?'

I pulled myself. In the afternoon, I asked Nos to investigate Jacob's "customer. I already knew. I left the room with the waiter.

"It smells good."

Is the food prepared at this late hour? I opened the door, wondering what was going on, but there were many servants, including Duke, Henry, and Isaac.

The table was full of all sorts of delicious things. The Duke and the brothers had a box on each side.

'Oh, right.'

Today is Children's Day. I have received a gift from the servant, but I have forgotten. Isaac ran towards me and pulled out a large box.

It was so big and heavy that I couldn't lift it.

“Open the key.Quick."

I opened the box. It was a training bow without arrows. Light enough for a child.

Next was Henry.

I opened the box she gave me, there was a very cute little dress. A soft cloth, like a snowflake, with small wings attached to his back.

My heart is full of gratitude because I hugged Henry and Isaac at once. The corners of their mouths crept upwards. At the same time, Duke pulled out an envelope for me.

"Open"

I glanced at him, opened the envelope, and checked the contents.

…..I put it back in quickly

"I think I just saw something amazing."

I took a few deep breaths and slowly took out the paper.

It was the same letter on a luxurious piece of paper decorated with gold paper.

[Certificate of Rights]

Oh God.

I looked at the Duke with a blank face. My hand holding the paper was trembling. My heart beat so hard that I pressed my chest.

Is it the happiness of having a rich father?

I heard the sound of trumpets and fireworks popping up in my head.
