The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Return of Johann (4)

The women looked at the boy. The empress started talking to the child and became very energetic.

When asked to bathe without salt and change into soft clothes, the Empress followed his words.

It was amazing that the empress, who was so stubborn even to the emperor, followed the child's words like a puppet.

The boy also applied the cream to the skin of the empress, who had changed clothes.

"What do you usually wear?"

“There is oil that the priest gave me.”

"What did you eat today?"

“I eat meat because stamina is important to get rid of disease.”

"It's weird…"

The boy looked to the side and closed his eyes.

"What do you mean by weird?"

"The coup was very strange ..."

"Why?"

“There are many patients in the church. Patients with unusual illnesses are even more likely to try to get treatment. Why doesn't the pastor know about your illness?”

"That's…"

“I heard that oil or meat is bad for atopy. It will make your skin worse.”

The Empress's eyes were extremely distorted.

"The boy is right."

He did as he was told in the church, but he felt his skin condition was getting worse.

If even the child knew, the priest should have known too.

But the reason why he has not given proper treatment so far is to keep using himself.

'These bastards!'

How much has he done for the church?

“You're the only one who cares about me.”

Leblaine grinned as the Empress spoke so.

"No!"

Then he ran towards the women and said,

“They all care about His Majesty. Everyone looked sad before because they were worried.”

"Is that so?"

Since Leblaine had not forgotten them, the women's faces shone.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We are very worried about you.”

“I won't forget your feelings.”

Until recently, the Empress never had the opportunity to get acquainted with the women because she was too busy with the church.

The women saw Leblaine in a better light.

“I did what you said and it wasn't too itchy than usual. What gift should I give you?”

When the empress asked with a smile, Leblaine said,

"I don't need anything. I'm glad it doesn't bother you anymore.”

"I'm proud of you. At a time like this, I'd rather you say it. Tell me. What do you want? A toy? Gem?”

“It's okay.. but I want a book!”

"Book?"

"I heard His Majesty has many precious ancient books."

When I started living my fourth life, the empress happily put LeBlaine on her lap.

“Yes, I have a good library. Pick one, I'll give you whatever you want. ”

"Wow!"

Seeing the happy child, the empress smiled brightly.

“Yeah, what's your name?”

For the first time, he asked her name, which he usually never remembered her name in three lifetimes even after giving her a name.

***

After leaving the palace with the Javelin, I held the book given by the Empress Dowager in my hand.

When I was excited, I asked Javelin.

"Are there not some ancient books in the mansion?"

"Yes, but not as much as the queen."

This is the original version of the Bible!

"I didn't know this was gonna be mine."

I didn't mean to get this.

It's true that the empress tried to give me a precious gift as proof that she trusted me.

But the reason why I mentioned the book was because the women would think this was the most amazing gift for a child.

He chose to give me the original scriptures and rejected the church. I sang a happy song in my heart.

He completely separated himself from the church, and obtained the treasures of the church that money could not buy.

It was the perfect ending.

'As long as I hold this, the church won't touch me easily.'

And my protector is a dubbled duke.

“If it's for another child, I'll give you a toy. Son, are you saying you can read ancient languages? ”

"Yes." Yeah."

“You can't go anywhere and show that you can read ancient languages. It will be troublesome.”

I nodded my head

When I returned to the mansion, my brothers were here.

"Is it true that you brought the child to the palace ?!"

When Isaac questioned him sharply, Javelin pressed down on his forehead.

"Don't ask if you know."

"Now at the palace, the church members are coming in and out, how can you bring the child!"

“As soon as I left the mansion, I felt the presence of Dubbled's knights many times. I think there's a war going on.”

"He can't enter the Imperial Palace."

“They won't chase a child when the church goes crazy. I'm not stupid."

He took the necklace from his clothes.

It was a necklace with the symbol of the imperial family.

'Oh, it's like the one Duke Amity has.'

I secretly called the necklace a wish ticket. Because the owner can ask the Emperor for help once. One was given on a very rare occasion.

In my previous life, it must have been owned by Duke Amity.

'I understand.'

In this life, Dubbled had victory over the Kruger Kingdom. This marked the end of the continental war.

Originally, Duke Amity did what Dubbled did in this life, and he got the necklace because of the war.

It was more important for Javelin, who arranged a residence in the capital than his father in a faraway place, so he had it.

Henry said,

"But aunt, it's true that you should pay attention to Leblaine when you go together."

"What a pathetic child."

As Isaac shouted, "Why is that child pathetic!"

Javelin took off his coat and said,

“Excessive protection is restraint. How long will you take what a child needs to know, see, and learn? Forever for the rest of his life?”

Henry and Isaac's faces hardened.

“The child I saw today need not be caged and protected.”

When Javelin, who said so left, both fell silent.

***

At dinner, my father came to my room when I thought about how to use the Bible.

I wondered what was going on, and my father brought me snacks.

"Do you want more snacks?"

“It can make my teeth rotten. But okay.”

I woke up when my eyes saw something and pointed at the plate.

At the little round table beside my bed, I ate the cake my father had brought.

Father, who was looking at me, said.

"Your brothers got into a fight with Javelin?"

"I'm going with Javelin."

“But as a result, I made them quarrel.”

With the cake in my mouth, I thought of Henry and Isaac whom I saw at dinner.

“My aunt's words are too exaggerated. He also protected our mother by locking her up. My aunt gave him a windowless room!”

"You must have realized after your mother's death that it wasn't proper protection."

The two of them had a fight and it turned into a big fight.

"Do you want to meet people?"

"No!"

"Blaine."

"…little."

I have many loyal people on my side, but there are things I cannot do without going out.

And I want to experience other things.

This life is different from the previous one. I experienced things happier than in my past life.

I used to hate taking a shower. Duke Amity was frugal, so there wasn't enough warm water in the winter, even Duke himself had a cold shower.

They gave me warm water, but only a little so bathing was always a hassle.

But now I like it a lot.

Bathing in warm water and talking to a waiter is one of my favorite routines.

In my second life, I hated going outside.

Duke Vallua scolded me for days because I hurt myself when I fell on the street and made my wounds appear more visible.

But in this life, I have been looking forward to going to the shopping district. A big hand appeared in my head.

"We'll have a tea party when we get back."

“Tea party? Can I meet kids my age?””

My father smiled at me.

“You can do whatever you want to do. It's up to you.”

'My dad is the coolest guy in the world.'

They were overprotective, but they always let me make my own decisions.

I was so happy that I jumped into my father's arms. And when I kissed her cheek, her eyes grew bigger.

She was so shocked at my kiss and froze.

“Daddy is best!”

“….”

"Yes. Best."

And then I rubbed my face against his chest.

***

The next day, the duke attended another meeting with the nobles.

They discussed some of the agenda in a very cold atmosphere.

There was a small chatter among the nobles.

Marquis Montbell, who was sitting still, was agitated. He usually did not even attend the meeting, but today, he came an hour before the meeting started. Most people know why he came so quickly.

His daughter, Annes Montbell, is coming to see Empress Yvonne.

Empress Yvonne only invited a few young girls whom she admired.

"Did Empress Yvonne invite him?"

Marquis Montbell raised the corner of his mouth.

He was waiting for those words to come out.

“She must have noticed my cute daughter at the party the other day.”

Marquis Montbell was one of the few with the most fertile lands in the Empire.

As a prestigious family with a long history, he succeeded my father and received voting rights in the national assembly.

The nobles laughed and continued to praise his daughter

“Thank you for your kind words.”

“This is something to be proud of. Isn't he the cutest kid in the world?”

"Is that what you saw?"

That time,

Duke Dubbled got up from his chair and looked at them.

The whole room became quiet.

Does he not like the agenda he has chosen?

Should taxes be raised to 10% instead of 7%?

The Duke Dubbled's ruthless image was engraved in the minds of all the nobles.

At the time of the war, he was walking with red blood dripping on the floor, and he cut the neck of an assassin who stormed the palace with a single blow.

Whatever the reason, he seemed to be against something.

The emperor said,

"What's the problem?"

Theodore Dubbled, who was clenching his fists, looked at the nobles.

"My daughter is the funniest in the world."

…What?

The entire room froze, and Marquis Montbell gulped.
