The Baby Who Raised the Devil

My fucked up life (10)

He shook his head.

"I can't swing it." (I can't keep it.)

"Then tell me how to make it again."

“But it will be different from Amy*. (But it will be different from Amy.)”

Tl Note: Amy is the name of the fish.

Adrian's gaze fell to the floor.

I recall memories of him in the past. He was the first to ride a horse in the triumphal march of the Holy War.

The intense dignity she possessed could be felt even before her beautiful appearance was visible in one's eyes.

I vaguely thought that no one could hurt him.

But the child I see now is filled with sadness. To the extent that just looking at him made one's heart ache.

"But we can make a grave for them."

When I spoke in a small voice, Boone fidgeted, and said,

[Son, ten strawberries!], but I pretended not to hear it.

Adrian looked up and looked at me, I didn't avoid his eyes.

***

"I'll dig a dweeper."(I'll dig up the ground)/

Adrian looked at the girl who was pointing to the ground while holding Amy carefully in one hand.

“How long will you be amazed. Come.”

The girl brushes Adrian by the hand, as she gives Amy back to him to hold.

Then he crouched down and dug the ground. Within minutes, a hole twice the size Adrian made could be seen.

"Now it looks like a grave."

He's a really weird kid.

He also digs as a farmer.

The boy had never seen anyone so good to him.

'But.'

But if he knew who I was, he would have acted differently.

Everybody does it.

The royal family, the nobles, and even the people of the palace thought of him as a destroyer of sights.

A sight destroyer that is scary to touch, and annoying.

As the eldest son of the emperor, and constantly examined by Empress Yvonne, the eldest daughter of Duke Marche, Adrian felt uneasy.

He was physically alive, at the same time he didn't feel alive.

So if he knew who he was, things would be different.

The gaze that looked at him with trash in it would darken with fear, and his lively eyes would definitely be gloomy. I feel sorry, but I think I should have said it sooner.

"I am the eldest son of the imperial family."

“Is that so?”

"I said I was the daughter of a dead empress, but I was, ..."

"So?"

Adrian silent.

Bizarrely.

He should be surprised.

Even if he did not know about their complicated political relationship, it was normal to be afraid of the word imperial family.

Adrian looked at him with strange eyes, and the boy snorted.

"Is that important now?"

"….Huh uh?"

"If we don't die, let's bury them." (If it doesn't matter, let's bury them.)

The boy pulled his hand.

Suddenly, Adrian sat down with the boy, and let a pair of fish that had completely turned back into water, rush into the hole.

The boy was patting the water, not Adrian.

“Now, let's go.” (Now, let's pray)

Adrian looked at the boy with both hands and his eyes tightly closed.

"Towlong let's be together for a long time in the next life."(Please let's be together for a long time in the next life)

“……..”

“Even if we quarrel and get angry, let us side by side in the next life,”

“……..”

The boy gently looked into Adrian's eyes.

"Let this cwild be happy."(Let the child be happy)

It was as if he was talking to himself.

He could not say anything and looked at the boy. Adrian doesn't know why his eyes are wet. To clarify, this was the first time he thought he would never forget someone's name.

***

After burying the fish and praying, I got up from my seat.

"Are you going?"

Adrian held my hand and asked, so I answered,

"Yes." Yeah."

"….Coming again?"

"Huh?"

"….Please come again."

His eyes are looking at me.

“Ya, alright.”

“But if you don't come, ..”

Adriana's eyes sparkled. His long eyelashes glistened in the sun.

'Wow…'

She is indeed a beauty that can rival Dubbeds.

Even though my aesthetic senses were used to all sorts of beauty, my heart was still pounding

“Now we are friends. And friends keep their promises. So, see you someday.”

"Friends...."

Inevitably I laughed inwardly seeing Adrian muttering several times because he was so cute.

After that, I waved to say goodbye, turned around, and ran away.

'I'm late, late!'

I came here under the pretext of playing hide and seek, but half an hour has passed.

As I headed towards the park, I heard a screaming voice,

"Where are you, little lady ?!"

“Blaine no hewe!”(Blaine is here)

I jumped up and shouted, and people were running.

"Oh my God…."

Lea was relieved to see me.

"Where Are You? I was so surprised that I couldn't find you no matter how hard I searched. ”

My place was not far from the park, but if they could not find me, it might be because Adrian had built a barrier.

I replied, “I wong..” (i was wrong..).

Lea sighed and shook off the dirt from my skirt.

“It's okay because you're safe. But please don't do this next time.”

"Yes." Yeah."

“We have permission to go. Now let's go home.”

When he said so, I nodded with a bright expression.

[Strawberries! Little miss, ask her if she'll give you ten strawberries.]

I looked at Lea.

"Lea, ten stawbewie?"(Lea, ten strobery)

"That's…."

Lea's eyes narrowed.

"You broke your promise, so I'll only give you five."

Oh God.

As a shocked expression appeared on his face, laughter exploded all around him.

***

I can only get five strawberries, but I feel pretty good.

The money Urso borrowed was returned to its original owner, but enough money remained even after the handover.

"There's 6,000 francs."

Seria's arrest reward is 30,000 francs, which means the total amount of money I have right now is 36,000 francs.

'Now, I have to keep looking for ways to earn real money so that I can find a place to live later.'

I know about some good things I can invest in.

The problem is I'm too small to contact investment targets.

This is the reason why I lived in poverty when I was a beggar.

Of course, I have to live as quietly as possible because I don't want to stand out, but I can't invest because of this.

"I need an adult to help me."

Seria is also an option, but she has her limits because she has a criminal label now. He is still alive but has to live under prison.

I can't continue to rely on Boone for help. My holy power is insufficient, so it is impossible for me to maintain its form for the next five days.

'I need to decide when to use the power of Boone.'

It was an ability that I didn't really need, but it was a pity not to use it.

As I thought about it, the train stopped. We have arrived at Dubbled Castle.

As soon as the door opened, Henry and Isaac approached me.

"Why did you come back so late?"

When Isaac brought his face closer and questioned me, Henry pushed him aside and hugged me.

“You're having a hard time, aren't you?”

Then Isaac took me away and took my hand.

"I asked the chef to prepare your favorite meat."

Henry turned to the other side to argue with Isaac while directing his question at me.

“Didn't eating late at night be bad for your health? I think you'd rather have a simple meal on the terrace and a delicious breakfast tomorrow.

“It is not healthy not to eat.”

“The child is weak. Don't compare him to a monster like you.”

They tried to release me from each other's grasp, as my eyes widened like plates.

“Aduh..”.

I groaned and then suddenly I was taken into the Duke's arms.

“Do not quarrel.”

When the Duke spoke firmly, Henry and Isaac looked at each other with dissatisfied faces, but immediately replied, "Yes, ..."

'Oh, after all I will be able to live.'

It was hard to get caught between the two of them because the journey was exhausting and I worked hard to keep Boone quiet.

I leaned my face in the duke's arms.

I was very tired but I had to say hello to them.

“I'm home.”

Then the gazes of the duke, Henry, and Isaac softened.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Welcome home."

“Come in.”

After being here for a few months, it really felt like coming back home.

***

The next day, I got the strawberries that Lea promised me for lunch.

When I looked with glittering eyes at the strawberries full of whipped cream, Boone rejoiced, and said, [Good for you, my dear.]

Lea gave me an oto and took some strawberries from the bowl.

“...Three, four, five.”

"Lea, I like you."

As I kissed Lea's cheek as a sign of gratitude, the servants screeched.

"Little lady, I helped Lea make cream."

And then Dahlia poked her cheek out.

“I also pick strawberries.”

Linda approached me.

"Please do it for me too."

Yuni tilted her head towards me.

I kissed their cheeks once again and took another fork.

[I can also give you milk.]

'What?'

[I can also pick strawberries. Should I show up?]

“……”
