The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Who gave you the information?(6)

The owner's eyes were wide open. The crowd of boys was calm as well.

“It doesn't make sense..”

The big boy muttered, but I actually stamped the seal on the receipt. I held the toy and handed it to Lionel.

"It."

“La, Lady!”

Leticia quickly approached me and grabbed my hand.

“You can't give this expensive toy to her. And it's not just one or two.”.

"I lent it to him!"

"I'm sorry?"

"I'll lend it to Lionel and get it back when I want to play with him."

Only then did Leticia let go of my hand while sighing.

I sent them to the bakery first, and I glanced at the boy who was watching me. I asked the knights.

"Find out who those kids are."

"Yes, little lady."

The children flinched and turned their eyes. Since those children are nobles in the capital, I assume that they know who is superior.

But some of them don't.

The big boy, whose toy was taken by me, shouted.

"You don't need to know my name, you crazy woman!"

'Gosh.'

I paid my silent respects to the boy who said that.

He said that in front of my knight.

The eyes of the knights were already fierce.

"What, why are they looking at me like that?"

"Why? Your family will be destroyed.”kataku while sighing.

***

While Leticia was away at work, I sat by the bakery window and looked after Lionel.

I wiped Lionel's mouth after he ate the bread in a hurry.

“Eat slowly. Do you want milk?”

"Yes…"

I poured milk from a glass bottle.

The boy began to finish his bread. I was afraid that he was having indigestion, so I asked the knights to bring me some digestive medicine from the carriage.

Then, with my chin in my hand, I looked at Lionel happily.

I haven't seen a child younger than me in a long time.

"First time after tea."

They were all sons of a noble, carefully chosen by Nos, they were a bit awkward, but they knew the manners of the nobles.

While Lionel was actually acting like an ordinary child. He did not learn proper ethics.

'It reminds me of when I was in the nursery.'

Back then, there were many children younger than me, so I acted as an older sister.

"What are you doing at home, Lionel?"

“Hmm. No, I read books, play blocks and.”.

"Then do you want to play with me next time?"

"REally?!"

"Yes. Do you want more bread? ”

"But my brother said I shouldn't take too much ..."

“But it's just bread.”

“I've got the toy..”.

“It's okay.”

It's really fine.

'Because if her mother became my godmother, she would pay me 2,000 times more.'

I grinned in my heart.

Lionel will be known as the son of Grand Duke Locard just a month from now.

Lionel sneaks out of Leticia's house and gets hit by a train, which is very serious.

The operation requires money. But Count Barthou did not pay a dime for his grandson's operation, even though he extorted money from Leticia and spent it on his son's education and living expenses.

In the end, Leticia went to the Grand Duke because she had no choice. He sent an amazing doctor to operate on his son.

Lionel was saved, but unfortunately it was too late and he could not use any of his hands anymore.

He tried to heal his son's arm by offering the church some money, but it wasn't enough.

Lionel lives with one hand.

"I have to make sure it doesn't happen this time."

But if Lionel had not had an accident, Leticia would not have gone to the Grand Duke.

"That's why I came with preparations to this bakery."

This place is a favorite waitress of Grandma Lionel!

It's almost time he came.

I glanced at the door.

The door opened and an old robed woman entered.

Camilla's waiter's in.

The waiter walked straight to the counter.

"Have you prepared what I asked for?"

A woman who seemed to be the owner, replied.

"Yes I have. Please wait a minute.”

I asked Lionel. We sat down near the counter.

"Lionel, where did you originally live?"

"The forest."

"The forest?"

“Yes, I live with my father and mother in the bush!”

The woman's eyes turned to the boy as she said bushland.

Of course he'll do it. There was no reason for people to live in the forest that was famous for its monsters.

That was why the Grand Duke had secretly stayed in this place to recuperate.

"So you moved here with your father?"

“No... mom does not want to stay with dad.”

"Why?"

The child's face turned sullen when I asked.

"I don't know. I came here suddenly. When I see my father later, I want to go hunting with him.”

“You must be lonely.”

I asked Lionel.

He must have been very lonely and surprised to have to part with his father all of a sudden. I felt sorry for the boy, so I patted his head.

'Don't worry, Lionel. You'll be able to go hunting with your father soon.'

The waiter ran out with a stiff face.

He must have tried to guess the situation and confirm it. He forgot to ask our names because he was panicking.

I deliberately bought some more bread with the Dubbled seal.

After a while, Leticia came to the bakery.

“I can't thank you enough. I'll make sure to reply you next time.”

“It's okay. I have new friends and have fun. Right, Lionel?”

"Yes! We'll meet again.”

I came back after seeing Lionel and Leticia leave.

***

Next day.

Leticia, who brought her breakfast, looked at her son who was touching his toy.

"Lionels."

“……”

"Son."

“……”

'What's wrong with him?'

When they got home, he was silent.

Leticia put the tray on the table and sat down in front of her son.

Lionel looked at Leticia.

"Are you sick?"

"Yes…"

He checked his condition, but there was nothing wrong.

Leticia looked at the child's face with a worried look.

"Where is sick? Are you feverish? Do you feel like vomiting?”

Lionel grabbed his reddened cheeks with his small hands.

“My cheeks continue to warm and my throat itches.”

"What is cold ..."

“Also my heart keeps beating fast. In my head, I could hear Leblaine calling my name.”

Then he sighed.

"I'll buy all the toys here."

When Leblaine proudly stamped the seal, Lionel thought he looked like a warrior.

“Eat slowly. Do you want milk?”

And when she poured milk, she looked like a princess.

Leticia could not help but laugh at her son, who had a dreamy expression on his face.

When he got off the train, he was silent, but it seemed like he met his first love.

Leticia said a mischievous expression on her face,

“Do you think of Lady? Hmm, then you should eat carrots. ”

"I hate carrots!"

"Lady doesn't like someone who hates carrots."

Lionel said to his mother,

"No, wait, I like carrots."

"really? Then can you eat it if I give you carrots?”

Lionel gulped when Leticia gave him a carrot that was as big as a finger. Then he put the carrot in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

He could not stop frowning because it felt strange.

Leticia gave him another carrot when he finished swallowing.

"Didn't he like it if you ate two?"

After eating one, he did not want to eat the second one.

Lionel stared at the carrot with a very troubled face.

Leticia smiled as she watched her son through the ordeal of heavy love.

***

I rolled around on the bed and touched Etwal.

"It's time they hook up."

It was already the third day after our meeting at the bakery.

'Doesn't this have to work? No, apparently, Camilla was famous for her love for her granddaughter…'

When I thought that, I heard a thud from outside the door.

“Small phone!”

He forgot to knock, when he saw Laura who hurriedly called out to me, I cried out happily inwardly.

'It's Camilla!'

"The Queen is here!"

……Huh?

No, why did the empress even come here?

"He came here for you."

“O, alright.”

I replied reluctantly, changed my clothes, and then went down to the living room for the VIP.

"Son!"

The Empress came to me with a smile.

"I greet the Empress."

I said as I stretched out my skirt and slightly bent my knees. The Empress waved her hand.

“You don't have to be too polite to me. How are you?”

"Good."

"Come, sit here."

He pointed to the sofa, so I sat down carefully.

“I'm very happy to hear that little lady has come to the capital.”

“I'm also happy to be here.”

When I said that, I heard a knock.

“Sorry to interrupt the conversation, little lady. There are guests here.”

"Guests?"

That time,

"Let me talk."

In an urgent voice came a grandmother.

'Camilla!'

As soon as I saw her, the empress' expression was displeased. Of course, Camilla's expression wasn't good either.

They were always on bad terms during the reign of the emperor.

"What are you doing here?"

"Your Majesty, why are you here too."

"I have business with the boy."

"I am too."

Both men were looking at me.

"Son."

"Lady."

…please save me.
