The Baby Who Raised the Devil

You are a strange person (6)

The chairman told me what was going on.

Nine years ago, my brothers, encouraged by my father, could not give up until the end and attacked them.

At that time the father was away at work, so Risette had to run away while pregnant.

There was Lea, who was in Irie at the time and Leah's older sister, Reina, who was Risette's servant, in the castle.

The three girls left the castle safely, but suddenly Risette's stomach hurt, so they helped her.

The Duchess gave birth safely. Reina was the one who helped her give birth.

Meanwhile, Lea faced many knights who were too heavy to defeat by themselves.

Eventually, the Duchess dies, and Reina entrusts Lea with the baby wrapped in a blanket.

Reina becomes a decoy and tries to chase after the pursuer, but he dies being cut down by the pursuer.

Lea was also desperately protecting the child. But he couldn't hold on.

“After that, His Majesty cleared up the rebellion and searched the place, but we could not find the boy.”

I nodded when I heard the chief.

“We have no choice but to hide what happened to Risette, because our enemy.”

If it were revealed that he had lost his wife and children to mere rebellion, Dubbled's honor would be destroyed.

Most importantly, my father who lost his son and wife at the same time was not in good shape at the time.

If other enemies took this opportunity to attack them, the situation would be out of control.

That way, the followers, led by Dubos, join forces to cover up the case.

Then, a follower saw a child who looked like a Duchess.

The follower was on vacation when he saw the boy. After that he told Viscount Dubos.

Viscount Dubos, who knew the truth of the matter, investigated it. He said the couple, who had no children, had found a baby in the mountains and raised him.

“But why do we find a child in this life? It never happened in my life before.”

There is only one case where the future changes. When I intervened.

"But what's the change?"

As I muttered, the chairman said as he put a piece of sugar into my teacup,

“Thanks to you, the followers can take a vacation.”

“……”

"Or he could be a fake."

“The second one is almost impossible. Few people in Dubbled know about the missing child.”

The girl has all the Dubbled symbols.

The witches even went to check his energy, confirming that he had Dubbled energy.

There's no way a witch from Dubbled could make a mistake. She is a great witch and she is very loyal to Dubbled.

She was a loyal witch who protected her father and died later.

While I was thinking about it, the greenhouse door opened and a girl my age walked in.

When my eyes met the boy, I widened my eyes in surprise.

'Child.'

"Lady!"

Many servants followed him and tried to take him out after bowing to the chairman.

"Sorry, little lady."

He whispered to the boy.

"You can't just walk in while they're chatting."

“But, Mireille missed my brother!”

I blinked when I heard him call me his sister.

"She's like Mina."

He is very cheerful and can get along well with people.

The boy approached me and smiled innocently.

“Halo, I'm Mireille.”.

The boy, who paused for a moment, stretched out his skirt and slightly bent his knees.

“The fourth child of Duke Dubbled, Mireille, nice to meet you.”

Then he looked towards Lea and the servants,

"What do you think?"

The servants just laughed.

"Now that I've introduced myself, you should also introduce yourself!"

He suddenly said that and I felt a little awkward.

“Halo, my name is Leblaine...”.

"Wow!"

Mireille shouted and hugged my arm.

The servants muttered,

“Both are very cute....”.

"Let's go brother, let's eat together."

“Ah, but I....”.

I still have something to talk to the chairman about.

Mireille looked at the chairman and said,“Grandfather, Mireille wants to play with my older sister, can I take her?”

"You should ask for his permission instead."

The chairman replied politely, Mireille was silent for a moment but suddenly pulled my arm.

“Come go, sister.”

I left the greenhouse while being dragged away by him, I said to the chairman calmly,

"I'm sorry."

Chairman nodded.

Mireille is a very cheerful child. He was chatting happily the entire time as we walked.

“Mireille and older sister are actually the same age. Mireille's mother gave birth to me in January and your sister's mother gave birth to you in February. But Mireille likes to be the youngest, the youngest is always more loved, right? So brother should be older than me.”

“That's not something I can decide at will ..”

“Everyone thinks Mireille is precious. Everyone let me do everything I wanted, when I said I wanted you as a sister, dad didn't say no. My father thinks Mireille is valuable too.”

After all, if Mireille were to be listed on the family register, the title would naturally be corrected.

“You know, I've never seen such a nice castle before. What people will be good at Mireille?”

“They're all good people.”

"But I think grandpa is evil."

"What?"

I looked at Mireille in surprise.

"I asked you well but she was angry."

"Why? Grandpa must have kids too. Why can't he handle the kids? Doesn't she have any children?”

“He's had a child. But his son has long died in an accident.”

“I guess his son died because of grandfather's bad temper. Right?"

I was so shocked that I stopped walking and looked towards Mireille.

“You can't say that!”

"……Huh?"

"That's very cruel and your words will make him sad."

Mireille became pouty.

"……all right."

I sighed and grabbed Mireille's shoulder a little.

“The chairman loves his son very much. It would be very painful for him if you said that. Don't ever say that again okay?”

“Ya....Mireille is wrong. Brother don't get mad.”

I nodded then Mireille came back cheerful as if she had never pouted. When we entered the dining room, he still did not stop talking.

There was a father, Nos, and some followers in the room.

As I walked, I greeted Nos. Mireille sat close to my father and waved at Nos.

"Hello there!"

The followers who heard Mireille looked at the boy.

“The voice is similar to Risette.”.

"Yes, it would be hard to tell them apart when she grows up."

Meanwhile, Mireille was immersed in her conversation with Nos.

"Did you come yesterday?"

“Yes, Lady.”

Mireille covered her mouth with her hands and said,

“I'm a Lady. Mireille is not used to being called a Lady.”

“You will get used to it soon.”

“Yes, I have to get used to it quickly. I can't make a mistake! ”

"Error?"

“Mireille pissed my sister off today because I said nasty things. I think it's because Mireille's not used to the right way of speaking.”

The eyes of everyone in the dining room turned towards me. Then he changed the subject with an awkward expression.

“So, where will I stay later?”

“West wing.”

"Is there room left for the woman?"

After the death of his predecessor, Father repaired the library in the castle.

The ancestral rooms and the rooms of my brothers have been completely renovated.

As a result, the room for children is only a little, so you can only have your own room after being renovated.

I asked Nos,

"Did construction begin?"

“Yes, it will not take much time to install the security system and repair the room.”

"How long?"

“I estimate two weeks. I've unpacked the luggage in the room next to little miss, is that okay? ”

Then Mireille raised her hand and shouted,“I want to share a room with dad!”

“Lady, the....”.

“It's so big here, I think I'll be scared at night. It's okay, right? Daddy?"

“……”

"Is that okay?"

The followers looked a bit troubled but they thought he was just childish.

"She must be the Lady who's being childish to you."

"Yes, the little lady was not childish when she was a child."

"Mireille is an adult and eats vegetables well too."

When he ate the vegetables that came with the dish, the followers laughed and said,

"Lady is so mature."

As always, eating is easy because my family doesn't talk much.

That night, a follower approached me, as I was about to return to my room.

I was close to this follower because he treated me well.

"That's it, little lady ......"

"Huh?"

“For now, I think it's better not to argue with Mireille.

They must have thought I had a fight with Mireille when she said I was upset.

"No, we're not arguing."

"I'm glad to hear that. You guys should get along well.”

Only then did the follower smile after I nodded.

The followers came one by one separately and gave me some advice as well.

"I must treat Mireille well."

I went to my father's room to pick up some snacks.

I picked up a bear-shaped cake that I really liked. When I dipped it in milk, it melted in my mouth, it was so delicious.

I put the snacks and milk on the tray as I headed to Mireille's room.

Before I knocked, I could hear a cheerful voice from outside.

“Then, people always read fairy tales for Mireille. It's become a habit, so I can't sleep without hearing a fairy tale. Can you read it for me too, dad? My dad has a nice voice so I feel like I'm going to be able to sleep.”

After the crybaby said so, Isaac grumbled.

“Sleep there. You are disturbing us.”

"Why don't you get used to sleeping without fairy tales in the future?"

Next was Henry's voice.

“This is the first day Mireille comes, I want to sleep with everyone. Okay well? Don't go brother. Huh huh? Hey don't go!”

"Take me off."

"Mireille, lay here."

I think he spent time with his family.

This was the first time he had met his family, he definitely wanted to be pampered by them.

I turned my back while holding my tray.
