The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Return of Johan (1)

I was so shocked that my eyes were wide open.

'That's the name of the late Duchess!'

I also saw a ring on the narrow side. As expected, the letters were engraved.

'Theodine...'

That was.

"Theodor."

A voice came into my ear before I finished reading the ring.

A woman leaned against the door frame with her hands crossed as she looked at me.

"Who are you, why are you in my room?"

She has clear blue eyes, the symbol of Dubbled.

I know that person, who has a beautiful appearance and a melodious voice.

That's my aunt, Javelin Ariage.

“Why did you read Risette's notes in my room?”

This is Javelin's room?

I was so surprised, I accidentally came here.

This place was too small and seedy for him, who was in charge of the mansion. I never imagined that this would be a Javelin room.

“Excuse me, i..”.

I was about to spout an answer.

"Take it!"

With Isaac's voice, the sword came to me. Javelin turned around lightly and placed the sword between his index and middle fingers.

“You should be more stealthy if you want to hit me from behind.”

Smiling, Isaac, who approached Javelin, and looked at me inside.

"Babies!!"

He hurried and looked at me in a hurry.

“I didn't know you were here. You're not hurt, are you?”

"I stopped your sword, so he won't get hurt."

As Javelin spoke in a soft voice, Isaac shouted.

Isaac frowned and said,

"What are you doing? Are you bluffing that little boy?"

"No! No!"

I immediately released Isaac from him.

Even if it was a misunderstanding, it was my fault because I entered someone else's room freely. I have to check the room first. I didn't know he was using a narrow room with no windows.

I got up and approached Javelin.

“I LeBlaine Risest—”

"Child of destiny."

He said I was a child of talent.

He doesn't get along very much, and he's cold-hearted towards others. He didn't even accept my greeting, so some people were reluctant to greet him.

“Small number.”

Leah came to see me then.

"You're there."

“What's up, Lea?”

“It's your meal time.”

Lea who stood up with a smile, bowed to Javelin.

When he saw Lea, he relaxed his arm. Her hair flowed gently down the collarbone.

"When will you be mine?"

When he said so, he lightly lifted Lea's chin with his index finger.

The servants who came with Lea blushed and looked puzzled.

She has a cold personality, but she is very popular among women rather than men.

The empress' first bodyguard and captain of the white horse battalion, the female knight unit.

— the Javelin Ariage.

Lea smiled.

"You're overreacting with your jokes."

“Ah, it is not funny because you are not confused.”

With his hands crossed again, he walked into his room and closed the door.

“How about we go, little lady? Your Majesty is waiting.”

"Yes." Yeah."

I nodded and held Leah's hand.

As I descended into the dining room, father and Henry were sitting facing each other. Isaac, who was following me, sat down and told me to sit next to him.

The meal did not begin until I sat down.

Isaac brought me a cup of milk and said, Isaac,

"Auntie is here."

Henry, who cut and put the meat on my plate replied,

"Auntie?"

"Yes, he's with the kid."

"Is everything okay?"

I nodded at Henry's words.

"He just asked who I was, I went to his room because I didn't know it was his room."

"Yes, that room deserves to be misunderstood."

“Bocil, my aunt is a very scary person. If not careful..”.

And Isaac drew a straight horizontal line through his neck with his hand, I flinched and held the fork tightly.

Javelin aura is too strong. Even though they were half-brothers, I didn't know that he would look so much like my father.

“Do not be afraid. Our aunt never touched a woman.”

"You never know. Because he hates the church more than anyone in Dubbled.”

This is a story I heard in my second life, one day, Javelin accidentally said it when he was drunk.

“I lost three of my precious people because of the church.”

I don't know any of them, but I do know one person.

Empress Elsa.

Adrian's mother, she's the one who died.

I noticed she was very close to the late empress.

It took less than a month to die because he was sick.

They did not examine her body further because the priest said that the empress had a disease caused by her holy power.

Javelin seems to think that Empress Elsa's death was due to a church in collaboration with Empress Yvonne. I think so too…

'Hmm, then how disgusted is he with me from the church?'

I can see why his eyes are so cold.

“My aunt is also the worst in Dubbled once she gets angry.”

When I looked towards Lea for confirmation, she smiled awkwardly and nodded.

'Ahhhhh!'

'I don't want to bother him.but it's already happened!'

I went into the room without permission and read the letters.

It must have been very special to him because he kept those letters.

I can't say anything because I read such a precious thing freely.

How can I make it up to you?

Should I give him a gift?"

After eating, I went back to my room and asked Lea.

"What would Javelin like?"

“Well, I've never seen Javelin show like or dislike…. But why?"

“I want to hang out with Javelin.”

"That's great, she's a lonely woman."

Is Javelin lonely?

I grunt.

She is the queen of socialites, and she has a large following. Hearing the news he was attending the party would make the party sought, so invitations came from various places to him.

"Because all her friends have died and she's not close to anyone."

"Friends?"

“I mean, Duchess and Her Majesty. In particular, he cared deeply about the duchess. She is waiting for her fourth child to be born.”

"Fourth .. fourth child?"

It was my father's fourth child, who died without being born.

When the witch told her that their fourth daughter was about to be born, the people from Dubbled were thrilled.

Probably the same as Dad, there are little shoes for girls in his drawer.

At first, I didn't know it was for the fourth child. I asked Nos because I was curious about the shoes.

He gave a troubled look for a moment and replied.

“It belongs to the fourth child. Her Majesty waited so long that she made the baby girl's shoes first. ”

"It's true."

“Your middle name should be Risette, right?”

Now I know why he stopped me from talking when he introduced me to Javelin.

'Because I received his friend's name as a middle name, son of the church.'

I feel a little heavy in my heart.

'Everyone would be happy if the fourth child was born.'

Then Dad and Javelin don't need to be lonely. My brothers will be happy with their little sister.

I thought so, but Lea's expression darkened.

I think he's worried about me hanging out with Javeline.

At the door, Lea made eye contact with me.

“You will be able to make good friends with Javelin. Because you look like him.”

"I….?"

I've seen the Duchess' portrait.

Unlike me, who had brown hair, she had shiny blonde hair, and she was pretty enough to attract everyone's attention.

I've changed a lot in my life, but I'm not as beautiful as Risette.

"I don't look like him."

She laughs.

"Not your face, but your attitude."

"A gesture?"

“Sometimes, you say something similar to Duchess Risette.”

“You are very similar to Miss Risette. You are like his long lost daughter who—“

"Lea."

Someone called his name.

Lea and I looked at her in surprise. That's Javelin sound.

His voice was much colder and louder than before.

"Who are you saying that is similar to Risette's daughter?"

Leah became pale.

Javelin seems to care about Lea, but if he makes a mistake, he will give no mercy.

'I've liked it before in my past life, Javelin is capable of killing its own people.'

I went to Javelin.

“Sorry, Lea didn't say that, she didn't say I was her daughter, she was just trying to cheer me up. I said I wanted to get along well with you. So!"

When I spoke urgently, Javelin's eyes narrowed.

“Why me?”

“Because you guys are family..”
