The Baby Who Raised the Devil
I'm Not So Defected (2)
That night, the chief came to see me.
“I heard you had a nightmare. And you cry.”
"Yes." Yeah."
“What because of me?”
The chairman's eyes are a little damp.
I blew my hot chocolate and answered the chairman.
“I'm a bad guy. I'm to blame, and.”
“…….”
“I should have said it gently.”
“We are the one thing you can do for me.”
Hearing my words, the chief coughed in vain and muttered,
"What's?.... Why is it connected to that?"
As if my words made no sense, I smiled sweetly for her.
The leader stopped and sighed.
"…….just say it."
“Get a doll and make it a fake identity”
“If it's a doll... What do you mean a ball connection doll?”
Ball-jointed dolls are magical tools.
It can be used as a substitute for someone by injecting magic or holy power into a puppet that looks like a real human.
"Ordinary person, age in his late 20s, the puppet will be the one to lead the peak of hope."
“It will cost you a lot of money. There was only one such type of magician in the Empire, and it was hard to find even with the power of Dubbled.”
"I have some money left to defect."
"How will you defect if you use it?"
“I won't do it.”
I stood up and ran towards the chief.
“I'll stay here now.”
"You're not going to defect?"
I grinned and said,
“I will make Dubbled independent from the empire. Where we will not get interference from the church and the imperial family.”
“……!”
Chief's face hardened.
"That's impossible. It was something that everyone, from the first duke to the present duke, aimed for it, but no one achieved. It was just a meaningless dream.”
"Why is your mouth shaking when you say it's a dream?"
He laughed out loud.
“Funny it feels excited by the word independence even at this age.”
"Isn't that what's most interesting about you?"
The chairman's eyes glittered as I held a glass of hot chocolate with both hands.
“People who have served in Dubbled are honest but they have their own desires. Only hypocrites from the empire call us villains.”
“That doll will be my abuser until I'm big enough. Go and get it."
“It looks like my birthday gift from Louis is not a spinel, but you, little miss.”
The chairman and I looked at each other and laughed like criminals ...

There's a lot of work to be done for my new purpose. Fortunately, there were some things I had accomplished while preparing for when it was flawed.
Funding the peak of hope.
the strong servant…
"The only thing left is the guards."
Although Dubbled's military prowess was excellent, he still lacked the strength to fight against the imperial family or the church in an emergency.
So I called Andy.
Upon entering the room, the boy opened his mouth with an overwhelmed expression.
“What kind of room is this..”
I distributed a basket of cookies to her, who muttered happily.
"Eat this."
Andy, who took the cake, glanced at me.
“But what you called me for.”.
"Andy, do you want to stay here?"
When I asked so, Andy dropped the cake.
Andy, with his palms outstretched, swallowed several times.
“Wa, wa, wait.”
"Huh?"
"Since when?"
“Since when did you like me? What since you gave me bread?”
"What?"
“I, I'm in trouble. She's sweet, but she's four and I'm thirteen. There are too many age differences. I'm an asshole who sees a child as a woman. ”
“……”
“You're really cute, and honestly, I've never seen a cute kid like you, but I'm not a pervert–”
... What is he talking about.
"You must be my knight."
As I looked at him, Andy, whose face was as red as a tomato, asked back, “Hah?”
I'm not gonna cancel plans to find Zachary. But that's the second best plan.
'Even if I find Zachary, he may not be loyal to me.'
But Andy obviously has a good feeling for me…
Although weaker than Zachary, his abilities were quite strong…
He leads a group of four or five five five-year-olds, and has encouraged much stronger adult men.
The strategy he used at the time.
Audacity.
The courage to lead.
I gave him a very high score for all that.
“I don't have money to buy horses and guns. Who will accept me as a student?”
To become a knight, you have to be more than just being strong.
Horses were very expensive, and it was a very heavy burden for commoners to buy them. Moreover, they had to purchase a usable weapon, and practice it for many years as disciples under a knight.
It must have been a difficult dream for Andy.
I showed her the amber-like gems and diamonds that Isaac gave me last time in both hands.
"Are you really going to use me as a knight?"
"Yes, Dubbled will raise you if you become my knight."
"Sir."
He immediately changed his attitude.
'Well, that's a good thing. His shortsighted attitude suited the Dubbled family.'
I nodded in satisfaction, and Andy said with a determined look….
“This is when you swore allegiance, right? I know everything.”
This will be the third time someone has pledged allegiance to me, which was at first burdensome.
“Andy greet mr—“
He suddenly stopped and frowned. Then he muttered, "Isn't that a name that's too common for a knight?"
"OK, I'll change my name like a knight from today."
He put his knees on the floor and looked at me….
"Knight Zachary greets you."
"…What?"
i'm staring…
“What was that just?”
“Zachary, isn't that name like a knight?”
I looked at Andy, or now Zachary, with a confused expression on my face...
'Really?'
Is he really Zachary?
Andy is weak! If Andy is the real Zachary, why can't he fight back at all?
"Why didn't you fight my servant last time?"
"Because I can't hit a woman."
"You're chatty."
“Situation is suitable.”
Is that all a trick?
It's breathtaking…
I'm so sad when I can't find Zachary, but Andy is Zachary!
However, it wasn't Zachary's fault, so I pressed my forehead to calm my grudge.
I called Lea.
"Lea, get Zachary's sword."
"What's the boy's name Zachary?"
"Yes, he changed his name."
"I understand."
Lea, who was nodding, hit Zachary and looked at him.
"Follow me. I'll teach you the sword.”
Zachary seemed to wonder why a servant taught the sword, but he followed after him.
And that day, Zachary really cried.
***
“Better teach Zachary spear than sword. He has talent.”
"OK…"
“Haha, he's a cute kid. He has a great fantasy about how a knight should act in front of others.”
Lea, who had been teaching Zachary for the past week, laughed, and said,
“Every day is a series of surprises.”
I saw Zachary swinging a spear with the commander.
I don't know why, I'm angry, but I'm trying to think positively.
'I have two of the four best knights in my house.'
Isaac and Zachary.
As a joke, they said if four people gathered, half of the imperial power would be helpless.
'I will work hard to grow and use Zachary.'
I decided.
To become the best knight, it seemed like it would take years to raise him properly.
So I asked Seria to make a deal with the mercenaries. Danju is a pious mercenary who carries out duties in my past life as a beggar.
'First of all, I have to raise him.'
The more money, the better, and there is a need for funds that can be used inconspicuously.
'And until I grow up to a certain extent, there will be plenty of time left before I can take over, so I have to get along well with my family.'
Having decided not to build a wall for the Dubbled people, it turns out that the Dubbled people were ordinary fathers and brothers.
Only ordinary families would want to spend time with their daughter and try to take good care of her.
"I finally have a family that doesn't hate me."
My heart trembled happily when I thought about it.
I was covering my cheeks when I heard a knock.
"Master is looking for you."
'Dad?'
I nodded yes and followed the waiter.
When I got to the room, I saw Isaac, who was on the couch, and Henry who was reading a book.
Henry smiled at me and said,
"Good morning."
Isaac also waved.
"Do you sleep well?"
I also said, “Hai,” and sit between Henry and Isaac.
"Dyke called you too?"(Did the duke call you too)
Isaac nodded.
"Yes." Yeah."
Just then, Dad walked into the living room with Nos.
There are three small boxes in Nos's hand.
When Dad sat down, Nos put three boxes on the table.
"Open."
The three of us opened the box with curious looks.
