The Baby Who Raised the Devil

My fucked up life (2)

Cattlea Walston is the prettiest child in the Dubbled branch family.

She has brilliant blonde hair that resembles her mother's eyes and dazzling blue eyes, which are symbols of the Dubbled family.

A few days ago, Baron Walston returned to his house with great joy.

"The opportunity has come!"

The baroness asked her happy husband.

“What do you mean by chance?”

"The chance for our daughter to become a Dubbled child!"

"Whatchu mean? you've been rejected once, haven't you? ”

It was not unusual for a branch family to send a child for genealogical education. Especially if it was a child like Cattlea.

The baron princess had incredible holy power. Therefore, he received education from the church from an early age.

As long as he continued to grow like this, the Baron could take the position of a high priest, moreover, if he had the help of Duke Dubbled, he might be able to become a cardinal.

The couple asks the Duke to accept their daughter for a foothold, but they are rejected. Their hands are full to take care of three children.

"The elders said they'd give me support."

“Why suddenly?”

"Whatchu mean? It's because of that destiny child.”

The baroness frowned.

Mentioning the child of fate alone had already upset him.

They said their hands were full, but they still adopted the child.

Although it was at the Empress' request, they were furious when they thought that a child who had not even reached the level of Cattlea had secured their daughter's place.

"Will the Duke change his mind this time?"

“At that time, she had never seen Cattlea well, so she rejected it. If they were to hand the position over to the child of destiny, they would realize how foolish their judgment was.”

The baroness curled her lips to hear her husband's prank.

Rumors have spread that the child of destiny was given a middle name. Name of the duchess.

It was terrible to think that they were being swayed by an ordinary child.

But if Cattlea's in Dubbleds and replaces her,

The baroness can intervene in Dubbled's affairs under the pretext of helping her daughter. He was a helpless baroness, so he could rule over the nobles who ignored him earlier.

The baroness while stroking Cattlea's hair, said

"Can you please His Majesty and the brothers?"

Hearing that question, Cattlea smiled brightly.

“When have I ever let you down?”

"That's right."

Baroness kissed her daughter's head.

…….But

Cattlea clasped her skirt tightly.

Duke brought the meat he put on his plate to Leblaine's plate.

“Eat slowly.”

Leblaine opened her eyes wide as she looked at Cattlea and the duke several times.

When he saw me staring intently, he picked up the meat again and slipped it into the duke's plate.

“No, Dyuke, you will eat it.”

But Duke raised the meat that LeBlaine had laid with a clean fork.

“This is the first meat feed my daughter gave me.”

Cattlea's face became distorted.

I gave it to you first….!

***

Cattlea, who left the castle with the followers after dinner, gritted her teeth.

He could not hold back his anger.

'What just happened?!'

She was a little girl who could not even speak properly.

'I am sweeter and smarter, she is just a little girl!'

Tears unconsciously pierced his eyes.

“Do not cry.”

Cattlea was startled by the voice she heard next to her.

As he turned his head, an elder, whom he knew as his father's friend, smiled.

“How can a Dubbled child cry for such a small thing?”

"Can I really be little miss Dubbled?"

"Of course."

"But the duke didn't even look at me."

Cattlea stared at the spacious hallway, her father and mother both looked anxious.

“Yeah, it's because fate child happens to help the family several times.”

Few know it.

Telling him where Oriharcon is buried, let him find Etwal second.

The older one continued,

"Don't worry, he'll change his mind."

Then he leaned over to look at Cattlea.

“As long as you trust us, all of us. And please answer us for this in the future. ”

She spoke to him politely, as if she was really little miss Dubbled.

Only then did a smile appear on Cattlea's face.

***

Two days later.

I just stared at them.

"Son."

"YES……?"

"I'm telling you because I don't think you know."

"Yes." Yeah."

"I also like to eat meat."

“……”

Henry just smiled, but I think he wanted to say something, too.

This is not fair.

I only returned the meat Cattlea gave to the Duke. I gave it back because I didn't want to hurt her feelings because of a piece of meat.

Isaac continued,

"If you discriminate against us like this, I will also discriminate against you."

I took a breath and looked in my pocket.

'Is there anything I can give him?'

I searched through the pouch and found some wildflowers I was looking for in the garden yesterday for Lea.

I had met Cattlea after that so I didn't have time to make a wreath and just kept it in my pocket.

The wildflowers in my pocket are tattered, but this is all I have.

I took a bunch of wildflowers for Henry and Isaac.

My brothers opened their eyes wide.

"Did you give this to us?"

"Yes." Yeah."

As she replied, the two received the flower with trembling hands.

“That child, this is for me ..”

“Flower for me...”

“Excuse me, young master,” said Henry's servant, who suddenly opened the door.

“Everyone has been invited to see Cattlea release the ancient artifact barrier Dubbled*.”

* TL Note: the actual translation of this is a 'sleeping mineral' that sounds very strange, then I disconnect the ancient artifact instead. (Note from the English TL)

'You mean that ancient artifact ?'

Dubbled Heirloom.

It was something holy and only the chosen ones could let it go.

The ancestor left the heirloom and said that it would be possible to use it only when the daughter of the main family was born with divine power.

"What do you mean?! Princess Duke is this little girl, so why is she...!”.shouted Isaac.

Henry's expression was getting colder as well.

He asked, 'em,

“Where are the subordinates?“

"They're in the meeting room."

Henry and Isaac immediately left the hall.

Cattlea, who was standing between them, smiled at me and my sisters who had just entered the room.

In front of the duke's seat and the followers was a luxurious box.

At first glance, it was like a huge rock.

'What is an ancient artifact?'

The followers opened their mouths at the duke, the duke said,

"Weather experts predict that a severe drought will come next year."

Thatvs right.

Even the imperial family, the nobles, and the church predicted and prepared for it, but the drought continued for a long time.

"Isn't this the time we need the power of an ancient artifact?"

“It would be helpful if this stone, as shown by the records, can arouse the spirit of water.”

“And Baron Walston's daughter has a strong holy power. I'm sure he can release the barrier.”

Henry, who heard the story, looked back at the duke.

“We can't let the incident happen because the artifact belongs to our family.”

I nodded in my heart.

“Of course, we are aware of the danger they are doing this. That could cause their internal strife.”

Isaac opened his lips.

"Why are you still talking about this shit?"

The corner of the elder's mouth rose.

"If Cattlea Walston is adopted by the Dubbled family, I will be able to save the residents of the country without causing any incidents."

"This is the purpose."

I looked at Cattlea, whose cheeks were reddened.

"of course. If the child of destiny can release the barrier, will we make this request?"

“Child of destiny, which has a very small holy power, will not be able to break through the barrier.”

The men shouted,

"How dare you judge a child of destiny!"

"Then, can he do it?"

"That'S….!"

"By the way."

The gazes of the elders turned towards me, who was standing next to Viscount Dubos.

"Is he really the son of destiny?"
