The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Flower Ring (9)

The pinnacle of hope required guards who would often engage in small battles with bandits. I'm sure Zachary can help.

I looked at Henry and Isaac.

"I want something."

"What's up, LeBlaine?"

"What's that! Tell me. I'll buy you everything!”

"The puppy."

The two muttered, "Puppy ...."

***

Me, Henry, Isaac, and the servants came out of the castle.

Just because I want to get a puppy, we'll buy it together.

Isaac said he would buy me the prettiest dog, but I insisted that I choose for myself.

“What if the puppy I bought back, and he doesn't like Bwaine(Blaine) too much?”

The brothers replied with very confused expressions on their faces.

“No creature in this world will hate you, right?”

But eventually those two guys lost to me, so I can go and see a puppy like this.

Our destination is Plum Street, just outside the Dubbled area. Because there's a pet shop for the nobles.

'It was also close to the nursery where Zachary was.'

The train stopped when I thought so.

I grabbed my brother's hand and got off the train. I looked around the street, which was as luxurious as the Dubbled shopping district.

"Wow…."

myrag. Then, the servants smiled and said,

“It's brilliant, isn't it? The street has the largest casino in the Empire. There are many things to see around as there are many restaurants and shopping districts.”

It must be a fun place to look around.

I grabbed the servant's hand and chased after Henry and Isaac.

"The casino is huge."

Suddenly, Lea glanced back and whispered to my brothers.

“There's someone following us.”

“Yes, I feel it too.”

Isaac's eyes turned cold.

"Four .. no, there are five of them."

“These people have been trained. They are good at hiding themselves.”

As I opened my eyes wide, Henry and Isaac looked at me with casual gazes.

"Leblaine, stay with the waiter for a while."

"I'll be right back."

With a slightly nervous face, I grabbed her second collar.

"Do you feel anxious? Stupid, we are very strong. You don't have to worry.”

Isaac grabbed me and put his face on my cheek. That must make you feel really good.

Then Henry grabbed it and threw it aside.

"Don't worry. We'll be back soon.”

'What I'm worried about are the people who follow us ...'

I think Isaac's gonna break their throats.

I repeatedly said, "come back safely."

Isaac and Henry left me with the servants and disappeared.

“Small girl, will we go to the bakery? Plum Street plum napkins are delicious. It was a golden building that passed through this alley.”

"okay."

Lea, the waiters and I are headed for the bakery.

The servants kept talking about this and that, afraid that I would be anxious.

“What kind of dog will you buy? big, hairy dogs are nice, right?”

“It's cute although small and short.”.

"Little poodles that look cute like little girls would be nice."

“Do you want me to carry a pet catalog while you are at the bakery? Do you want to see it?”

Just as I entered the alley, I saw someone in the alley of a rundown building.

"You ate all my money, asshole."

The boy murmured grimly and threw embers into the building.

The servants stared at the building that was starting to burn.

“Yes God, this is a gambling house. If he gets caught, he'll get in trouble."Said Yuni, a former loan shark.

"Should I help him?"

Those were the words of Dahlia, a serial killer who was the friendliest among the three servants.

“But it's none of our business?”ask the impostor Linda.

To be honest, Leblaine, a pessimistic adult, agreed with the thoughts of the servants. But as a child, I felt sympathy.

'He looks thirteen, and I can't just see a gangster beating him to death.'

Enough to turn off the embers, not so difficult.

I took a deep breath and grasped Lea's skirt.

"My eyes are hwot." (My eyes are hot.)

Only then did the servants run to stop the fire.

"The bad fire that makes our little lady's eyes hot."

“Bad fire stuff!”

The boy frowned at the unexpected intruder.

"What's this empty muzzle?"

He looked at us silly.

"Madam, why are you interfering with other people's work!"

“That's a cwime.” (This is a crime.)

When I muttered that, he looked at me.

"Are you the owner of this servant?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"You want to die? Don't interrupt and get out of here. You're ugly. ”

Then, the servants who stepped on the coals stopped their steps. Lea's eyes that held my hand were fierce as well.

"You, what did you just say?"

"Who's ugly?"

“Yuni, leave it alone.”

Lea smiled at me and said,

"Little Miss, close your eyes for a moment and count to 30 here."

“One, two, two..”

The boy's screams echoed in the narrow alley.

***

"Crying…"

The boy raised his hand near the wall and cried, with a runny nose.

The servants looked at the boy and shouted.

“Why didn't you say it?Hurry along!"

The little boy cried as the servants shouted.

"Little Miss is the funniest thing in the world!"

"One more time!"

“Small number ...”

As soon as he shouted, I heard a rumbling sound from the child's stomach. “Hungwy?”(Hungry?)

“Why do you care?…”

As he said so, he quickly treated me with respect when he saw the sharp gaze of his servant.

I shook my hand at the servant who had intimidated the boy.

The servants retreated with a frown as I reached out to him. Then the surprised boy backed off. I think he thought I was trying to hit him.

I rubbed the soot on the boy's cheek with the tip of my finger and wiped it.

"There."

“……”

“We will go to the bakery. Let's go together.”

“I have no money..”

I rummaged through my bag and took out a handful of gold coins.

It was an allowance that the followers secretly gave me when they heard I was going to Plum Street with Henry and Isaac.

"I'm ready!"

"Is that all yours?"

"Yes." Yeah."

“Wow, it will produce thirty rounds of roulette.”

The boy nodded, his eyes glazed over as he looked towards the servants.

Soon, we entered the bakery.

The servants piled bread on trays like mountains.

The bread from this bakery was quite expensive, so the attendants and customers saw us with their mouths wide open.

I extended the bread that the servant brought to the boy.

"Here."

“…….”

He looked a little wary of me ppdan taking the bread. His eyes became bigger after tasting the bite. Then, he stuffed everything into his mouth in fear.

“Guys!”

I was worried that the food would get stuck in her throat while eating in a hurry, so I gave her some milk.

"Didn't the adults feed you?" (Didn't the adults feed you?)

“Who will feed the orphans?”

An orphan?

The only kind of tk near here is the private tk where Zachary is.

'Is he Zachary?'

I saw him think so and shook my head inside.

Zachary was one of the four knights who showed off his great skills.

It makes no sense that a strong person comparable to Isaac is this weak.

Usually, the strong were wary of the presence of people.

Isaac, who was five years younger than the boy, also noticed the presence of a follower before Lea.

But the boy burned without knowing the sound was right next to him. Far from being aware of the signs, it meant his senses were blunt.

Above all, the boy did not look as serious and thoughtful a character as in the rumors.

'I want to meet Zachary, but if this kid is in the same nursery, I might have a chance to meet him.'

“I'm also an orphan.”I answered while grabbing the cup of milk.

"······ Lie, you've got a waiter."

"I'm adopted."

"You must be from the state or the public, right?"

"No, TK's private."

The boy's eyes widened.

"Wow, you hit the jackpot."

There are only a few cases of adoption from private tk. Even if there are, most are taken to farms where workers are not enough.

"Why didn't that waitress kill me before?"

The boy whispered with the bread in his hand

“Because they won't beat up a small child.”

My servant is a criminal, but a good criminal.

"It's a strange thing to say."

The boy put the rest of the bread into his mouth.

Then, while sneaking around, without the servants noticing it, he hid some bread under his shirt.

"You interrupted my work, but you gave me something to eat, so I'll forget it."

“By the way.Why are you trying to start a fire?”

“I tried to gamble in hopes of getting more money for my family, but as it turned out, they manipulated roulette.”

"But you, you're gambling."

"Are you an idiot? How could you not do something so fun?”

She's dumb….

I took a long breath.

"If you start a business this time, you'll lose your resources, not your money."

“Oh, you look small, but you know about losing resources. I feel very troubled.”

The grinning man lightly pressed down on my cheek with one hand.

That time.

"What are you doing motherfucker?"

A cold voice sounded at the door.

He stepped up and grabbed the boy's wrist.

"Don't touch my sister."

Isaac's eyes were sharp.
