The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Fun Tricking me? (4)

When I returned after speaking to the chairman, the atmosphere became chaotic.

The godmother looked at the women with an angry face.

“I'm not ashamed to be his godmother. I think I picked the wrong person to invite. Your son doesn't have to come later.”

I groan in my heart.

On the day of my party, there will be more people at the Duchess party than at my party. It's more useful for me to be nice to them than to have an empty table at my party later.

I took my godmother's hand.

The godmother looked at me for a moment and we passed by the women. The women hurriedly welcomed her but the godmother did not accept them. Godmother is silent all the time. After looking around the second floor, he grabbed my shoulder and looked at me.

"I'll make a new invitation list, you don't have to worry."

"Yes, godmother."

I answered gently and hugged her.

“They are only blind..”

The godmother said so but I smiled.

"Don't worry about them, godmother!"

"They're stupid."

I thank you for your sincerity. I could only smile innocently like a child but I was making a revenge plan.

'I saw all their secretly happy faces when the godmother said they didn't have to come.'

After we continued our journey, I returned to the mansion.

When I got off the train, Laura drove me and said,

"Little lady, the gift has arrived today."

"Gift?"

Laura smiled and glanced at the mansion.

I went to the mansion with my eyes closed as he led me in. I could see some happy faces when I opened my eyes.

“Dahlia, Linda, Yuni!”

My face brightened and I ran towards them. They immediately hugged me.

"What's going on?"

The three maids had grave crimes, making it difficult for them to get out of Dubbled castle.

“Nona Javelin call us!”

"Auntie?"

"Yes, he asked us to take care of you!"

I took a deep breath and looked at my aunt who was among the servants.

"It must be hard for my aunt."

He could not simply order them to come here, only Emperors and Priests could forgive sinners. There will be a lot of work to be done to achieve one of them.

It was hard to imagine how much money my aunt had spent.

"Thank you aunt!"

“I'm glad you're happy!”

He reached my height and smiled at me.

“Now no one can take your people away. Even me.”

'A……'

I think all this was because of the Mireille incident.

“I can't just compensate you this much for what I've caused, but...”.

"Auntie, I'm hungry."

I tried to change the topic so that he wouldn't have to apologize to me. My smart aunt understood what I meant and stopped talking.

It was common for people to change their maids, aunts also had no choice but to listen to Mireille at that time.

Besides, he knew that I still had a lot of people on my side. My father and brothers were stuck with Mireille, but they paid more attention to me. My family took care of me as I prepared to move to the capital, and they never visited Mireille.

My aunt, who believed that Mireille was the fourth child, wanted to do everything for her out of guilt.

My aunt could only laugh bitterly and caress my hair.

“OK, I'll tell the chef to prepare it. Refresh first and get off.”

"Yes!"

I grabbed the servant's hand and climbed the stairs.

As we entered the room, my waiter began to criticize the room.

“The bed is too hard! Little miss is like a soft bed!”

“This outfit is too big! What if the little lady falls? ”

“Ah! Who puts candles near the bed? Little miss is going to have a headache! ”

When I heard the waiter, I said to myself.

'God……'

My room in Dubbled Castle was very nice, but it also became comfortable as time went on.

"Little girl, do you want to change it?"

Linda smiled lovingly as I nodded.

She analyzed the wardrobe and picked my favorite dress.

I changed clothes, washed my hands and went down.

The dining room was full of people, there were my aunts, fathers, and brothers.

"I'll be the only child to take you to the Imperial banquet."

"Who said that?"

“You're noisy. The guard will be up to me, Dad. ”

Isaac, Henry, and father stared at each other intently.

"It started again."

A few days ago, the three of them struggled to decide who would be my side. I quietly sat down next to Johann.

He put the napkin on my lap and said,

"Do you want meat or fish?"

"Meats!"

'I like meat…'

I cut the meat with glittering eyes.

When I put meat in my mouth, I felt like I was in heaven.

Johann put something on my plate.

He had cut the salmon he had eaten into small pieces and given it to me.

"I don't like fish very much."

When I was a beggar, I had to eat discarded fish all the time.

So even after I was adopted by Dubbeds, I didn't really eat fish.

'But it was given by Johann ...'

I closed my eyes tightly, and put them in my mouth.

'What's this? It's delicious!'

I opened my eyes wide and covered my mouth with both hands.

"Are you okay?. This is salmon, it tastes better with the sauce."

He dipped the fish in black sauce and gave it to me.

'I know this sauce. It's soy sauce mixed with things.'

It is a mixture of lemon juice, soy sauce, and greenery.

Salmon really tastes better with the sauce.

"I didn't know it was so good."

I stared at Johann's plate with sparkling eyes.

“Have you decided who you want to choose as a companion?”

As soon as Johann asked, everyone in the room looked at me.

I quickly said, "Not yet." while concentrating on my food.

"What about me?"

Since I was focusing too much on the salmon, I nodded my head.

"Yes!"

“……!”

“……!”

“……!”

Johann gave me the rest of the salmon with an arrogant look.

"Good."

"Very delicious!"

I didn't realize it was salmon.

My father, Henry, and Isaac had grim expressions.

***

Time had passed and it was the day of the banquet today. I grabbed Johann's arm and arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall.

I went inside and then I looked back.

Father, Henry, and Isaac still looked grim.

'Maybe I should have told them that I would take them as a companion one by one.'

Everyone, from servants to officers, suffers because of it. They have been suffering for a few days.

'What should I do?'

"Lady."

“Godmother!”

He and his followers greeted me at the entrance.

I immediately released Johann's hand and approached them.

"You're so pretty today."

"Because I'm wearing Sharon's dress!"

The women answered,

“This is Sharon's dress? I heard that he chose his customers. How'd you…?"

“She's a close friend of my aunt.”

“Ah, I understand.”

While having a casual conversation, my surroundings became noisy.

"Duke and Duchess Vallua ..."

“Today...teleportation device..”.

"Your Majesty the Emperor ..."

The Vallua family and their followers walked into the banquet hall confidently.

"Ha ha ha! Oh, Duke Dubbled!”

Duke Vallua, who was looking around the banquet hall, approached my father who was nearby.

"You little rat!"

“Do not try to deceive the Empress. I just disciplined a horrible girl who gave us all kinds of misfortunes. ”

Right now, I was out of breath while recalling the memories of my second life.

I remember the sound of the whip splitting the air and Duke Vallua's footsteps coming down the stairs while holding onto my hair.

I gripped the end of my skirt tightly.

That time,

"Blaine?"

My warm hand grabbed my hand.

"Are you okay?"

"……Yes.Yes."

I lied but it's okay. I won't get hit by that hand again.

I used to hide in the closet and crouch down hearing those footsteps. This time, I did not avoid the eyes of Duke Vallua, who was walking towards my father and me.
