The Baby Who Raised the Devil
You are a strange person (9)
"What did you say ...... Mireille doesn't understand ..."
Then why is he acting like that?
I smiled at him.
"I'm doing fine. You're okay too, right?”
"……Yes.Yes."
I looked at my family.
"We're both fine, so don't worry."
I ended the fight.

Back in the room, I immediately communicated with the chairman. The chairman laughed when he heard what was happening in the herb garden.
[What is Vallua?]
“That's no problem.”
[You have to tell them.]
“No proof.”
What the hell are they doing? She has silver hair and blue eyes, which are symbols of Dubbled, and she is very similar to the Duchess.
In addition, the witch concluded that Dubbled energy was flowing within her.
In the middle of this, if I say fake Mireille, they won't believe it.
[Just because the witch was loyal to Dubbled in your previous life, I can't fully believe that this life will be the same. People can be different depending on the situation.]
“I have to call Veronica. She's a better witch than the Dubbled witch, so we can check on her again.”
[Yes, I will investigate the witch and Mireille.]
“Also followers who found Mireille. I'll invite Veronica tomorrow, so she'll come to the castle later.”
[Yes]
As soon as I finished talking to the chairman, I wrote a letter to Veronica.
The next day in the afternoon, Veronica came to the castle as we held hands.
"Thank you for the invitation! I'm so happy because this is my first official invitation.”
“No, I'm glad you came. Will you go to my room?”
"Yes!"
I clasped Veronica's hand and climbed the stairs.
We met Mireille, who was down. He looked at me and looked.
Veronica and I passed it. After some distance, Veronica glanced at his back.
“What is he? The kid I should check. ”
The brief explanation in the letter made him aware of the situation. I'm nodding.
“Please do it secretly. Can you do it without any obstructions?”
“Of course, if you give me time to meet him, I can make sure he doesn't notice it. Doing such a thing is my forte.”.
That's what he said while smiling shyly.
'He's a talent that fits Dubbled.'
I grinned.
Then we went into my room together. The waiters started moving.
"You can get out now."
"But…"
"I'll tell him a secret."
The servants blinked as I said intentionally.
“If it's confidential..”
“Why did you ask. If he talks about a secret, there is only one thing.”
As Yuni said with a suspicious smile, Dahlia blinked and thought of something,
"Geez!"
Then he shut his mouth.
"Is it already then ?!"
"Yes yes."
Yuni threw the servants out of the room and laughed.
"Have a good time."
The excited voices of the servants leaked from outside the room.
“Do not act suspicious. We have to pretend not to know anything.”
"By the way, who's that?"
"As expected, one of the boys he met at the tea party?"
"I heard that Viscount Myshank's eldest son is handsome."
The waiter screamed. It must have been a story they shared secretly, but I could hear it all.
Then, Veronica's eyes sparkled.
"So you don't have a guy you like?"
I get goosebumps when I imagine holding hands with kids my age and saying a lot of horrified words.
I shake my head strongly.
"Not having."
"It's a shame."
"I'm not interested in men." I said to the sullen Veronica.
"It can happen at your age."
"What about you, Veronica?"
“I've always dreamed of love. But nothing matches my taste.”.
I sometimes flinched when I realized Veronica's age.
At that moment, I heard a knock.
"I think it's the chairman."
"Lake in."
The door opened, and the chairman entered as Veronica got up.
As soon as she looked at him, I could see his eyes sparkling in a different way from when he saw me.
“…….Veronica?”
"ah! Yes yes!"
"I'm the Chairman of the Dubbled Senate."
She spread her skirt wide and slightly bent her knees.
“My name is Veronica Dubos. I didn't have a chance to meet you before.”
“My name is Jean Marc Noanoke. Nice to meet you."
“I doubt it is Duke Vallua. So we're doing an investigation, and if you can check out Mireille..”.
"Miss Dubos?"
"Ah yes!"
I looked at the two of them with a troubled face.
On the surface, they look like a girl and a grandfather. Veronica is about 20 years older than the president.
I pulled the chairman's arm when Veronica went to the bathroom.
"What do you think of someone 20 years older than you?"
"What are you saying…"
"Then what about a young girl?"
"I think an older man who dreams of romance with a young girl deserves to die."
He's correct.
Veronica's back.
He asked as soon as he sat down.
“So what should I do?”
“It's almost time Mireille snack time. He's going out onto the terrace, I think it's about 10 meters from the terrace in my room. Can you check the distance? ”
"Of course."
When I saw Veronica smiling confidently, I smiled brightly. I chose the right person.
The chairman, who had welcomed Veronica, left the room, and we decided to wait for Mireille on the terrace.
Veronica looked at the chairman out and sighed.
“Sorry, Veronica..”.
"Yes, little lady?"
"Do you like the chairman?"
Veronica whispered as I asked with a nervous face.
"How do you know?"
Veronica continued, though,
“He's perfect for my doll collection!”
“...Phone?”
“I collect dolls. It would be perfect if I left that grandfather for the new doll this time! Ah, where can I get a doll like the chairman?”
Then, when I saw Veronica covering one cheek, I heaved a sigh of relief.
'I'm very happy.'
Then, I heard a voice from the terrace of Mireille.
"It's time for a snack."
I looked at Veronica and hid in the room. It was because Mireille would definitely avoid it if she saw it.
I heard Veronica and Mireille talking for a moment.
“You're still very young, but you said you're the head of the Dubos family? That's amazing!"
“I'm older than you think.”
"I understand. Oh, but where's my brother?”
"The little lady's gone for a while."
“I can't believe he left his guest. That bad. Excuse me, Veronica.why don't you come here and have a snack with Mireille? you know, Mireille's upset. Yesterday, my brother told me..”.
Veronica remained silent while Mireille blabbed.
"He must have started checking."
And three minutes later.
“That little girl should be back. I'll be back.”
"really? Too bad... Next time, let's play in Mireille.” room
Returning to my room, Veronica closed the door tightly and whispered.
“I've checked it.”
"How's that?"
Veronica said, narrowing her forehead.
"I thought I'd say it was Dubbled energy like a witch."
"What do you mean?"
“I can't say exactly that it is Dubbled energy, but it is very similar to their energy..like Johann's energy?”.
“I was called by my predecessor when he was born to judge where. The feeling is almost the same as the one I felt back then.”
"Is there a spell to change the appearance?"
"There is, but he doesn't use it."
If so, was Mireille really the fourth child?
As I was pondering, I suddenly recalled my story with Veronica.
'Dolls?'
Dolls……
It was as if the riddle I had in my head had been completed.
I bit my lips tight.

The girl, who came out from the darkness, ran through the corridor quickly. He quietly passed through the courtyard and went outside to the dumping grounds built near the forest to dispose of wastewater and trash.
Arriving at the foul-smelling dump, the girl retrieved a large bucket of water she had stored after taking out the trash.
He saw someone through a small gap between the walls.
"What's…"
The man turned on the lights to take a closer look.
Later,
“Search for this?”
He could hear a small voice right next to him.
The girl, who was very surprised, stepped back and dropped the lamp. When the fire on the lamp spread to the grass, a small foot came out, and trampled on the embers.
When he saw the face reflected in the dim light of the lamp, he covered his mouth.
"You……!"
“You shouldn't play with fire at night. Leah's gonna get in trouble......Mireille.”
Mireilla looked at the smiling Leblaine.
"Oh, my brother, why are you here ..."
"I thought you'd be looking for this, so I came to return it."
Leblaine threw something onto the grass. Mireille took a deep breath as she looked at the rolling object.
