The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Fun Tricking me? (5)

"During did not meet!"

Duke Vallua greeted my father with a big smile.

Even in my second life, it was clear that if he was friendly only on the surface, he would talk badly about him behind his back.

It was because of his arrogance, he thought that he would be able to surpass Dubbled's dominance when he held a powerful device in his hands.

The Vallua family was definitely a powerful family compared to the other noble families, but it was at the bottom of the five dukes.

The ancestors considered honor a top priority for generations and criticized the nobles for paying attention to money.

But money is the root of honor and power.

Therefore, Vallua was at the bottom of the five dukes, they did not have much money and soldiers.

However, according to the words of Vallua's ancestors, Dubbeds were vermin who cast off the honor of nobility and only sought money, but they had succeeded and gained prestige.

'The Dubbled are honorable, but they're not close to the church.'

Duke Vallua looked at my father with the corner of his mouth raised.

“One day at the party, you are so busy that we don't have time to talk. How about today?"

Now that he had the device in his hands, he dared to speak like this.

But my father did not care about Duke Vallua and looked at me, who was feeling bad a moment ago.

My father knelt on one knee and looked at me, he raised my eyelids slightly and examined my pupils.

"I don't think you're sick."

Duke Vallua's mouth trembled because of my father's actions.

"I think I'm running out of time today."

Only then did my father's eyes take a glance at her.

“Then don't stay still and go.”

“..... It sounds like you ignored the gold mine in front of you because of your pride.”

Dad's up. When my father, who was much taller than Duke Vallua, immediately stood up, he looked at Duke Vallua.

“Your device. It has nothing to do with Dubbled, what is 3 kilometers or so. We can afford to buy a lot in the market.”

“……!”

"If you're thinking of doing business, go to those who are desperate."

My dad said that.

Duke Vallua's face flushed. But he can't say anything.

"Because he's right."

I laughed in my heart.

Even without Duke Vallua's device, he could buy many that were 3 kilometers on the market.

'Even if it's more than 3 kilometers, it's not necessary for my rich father.'

Of course, only my father could buy a device worth 300,000 francs like a child's toy.

The Duke could only turn his back.

Whether he goes or not, my father still sees my condition. I took my father's hand when he asked the servants to take the doctor.

"I'm not sick!"

“But, just now..”.

"That's because I'm nervous."

Isaac said with a serious face.

“Bocil, you don't need to be nervous. I'll kill anyone who bothers you.”

"You can't kill anyone!"

"Then I'll beat them up."

I almost screamed that he couldn't.

"His Majesty the Emperor has come!"

The announcement of the emperor's entry caused everyone to stop their conversation.

I held onto Johann and Henry's hand, as we lowered our heads.

Looking at the center, I could see the Emperor wearing a luxurious red robe next to a boy with sea blue hair and a beautiful woman with the same blue hair.

"That's Empress Yvonne and the First Prince."

I looked at Empress Yvonne, who was smiling gracefully, and Andre, the First Prince, who was smiling with an arrogant face beside her.

Yvonne Louerg's. The eldest daughter of Duke Marche

With the help of the Empress Dowager, she spends the night with the drunken Emperor and gives birth to the first prince.

Not even the emperor's son could be treated as a prince if he were not the empress' son, so the emperor needed to make Yvonne empress for his children.

Andre became the first prince, but only by name, Adrian who was born to Empress Elsa five months later, was officially crowned as the Emperor's first son.

Of course, Adrian has a higher position than Andre.

Empress Yvonne was eager to reform the laws of the Empire with the nobles to give her son the plaque of the eldest son.

'So this time he would give Duke Vallua a boost.'

When Duke Vallua placed the amendment of the imperial law on the agenda with the device in his hands, the nobles had to side with him.

“I want to thank everyone who attended this event.”

Empress Yvonne smiled and looked around the hall, as the nobles bowed.

“Life Empress!”

"Long-life!"

After greeting, the Emperor said,

"You can wake up."

The nobles straightened their posture.

Soon after, Empress Yvonne saw the people from Duke Vallua and said,

"Geez, it's Duke Vallua."

"I greet the Empress."

“I heard that there is something to celebrate in your family. You must be busy."

“No matter how busy I am, of course I have to attend the Empire event.”

He looked at the Emperor with a smile.

'Yes, as expected ...'

But I didn't know that he would promote this openly.

The emperor was also stunned.

"Didn't the Vallua family have advanced imperial magic one step further?"

When he saw Duke Vallua, he walked towards them and knelt down on one knee.

"This is the grace of His Majesty who believes in my family."

Empress Yvonne replied,

“There are rumors, but I've heard you never give me a direct answer. Everyone will be curious, so please start talking about the device.”

At this moment, Duke Vallua raised the corner of his mouth.

“We have successfully built a new one that extends the travel range of almost 3 kilometers from the previous one.”

At this moment, a cry came out from the crowd.

"The rumor was true at the time."

“What do you mean, 3 kilometers? We haven't increased the meter in the last hundred years. ”

There are already people approaching Duchess Vallua.

The Emperor said, “Ah...3 kilometers”, Duke Vallua raised his head and raised himself.

Then he took the device out of his hand. On the surface, there seemed to be around ten large numbers.

The Emperor laughed loudly and accepted his device.

“I won't forget Vallua.”'s efforts

"An honor, Your Majesty."

His face, which was red in shame when talking to my father, was now heating up again in the hope of an emperor's gift.

'This is the time.'

I shouted, "Oh!"

At one point, the eyes of the crowd turned to me.

Not only Duke Vallua, but also the Emperor, Empress Yvonne, and the first prince.

I held my father's hand pretending to be ashamed.

"I'm sorry……"

The Emperor looked at me and said, "Ah."

"You are the child of destiny."

Hearing his words, Henry lightly pushed me back and nodded.

I bent my knees slightly with an open skirt.

“I Leblaine Risette Dubbled. I greet the Imperial sun. ”

"Yes." Yeah."

The Emperor nodded, and Empress Yvonne glanced at me.

"Well, there must be something wrong with what I said."

He looked angry because all the eyes that were supposed to be focused on Vallua came to me.

“Yah..I have also prepared a gift for you, but Duke Vallua has given the same.”

"You mean the device?"

Then Duke Vallua laughed out loud.

“That's definitely a device on the market. Yes, the current one is also good.”

The Emperor still smiled kindly at me.

“That's a commendable thing.”

“I...I didn't buy it from the tower, but I made it with the Dubbled Witch, even if you don't need it, it's okay.”.

The Emperor's eyes widened as I deliberately made a sad face.

"Lady made it?"

“Yes, I was talking to the witches and they told me some things, I thought about it, and it was over. I think it would be better to give it to His Majesty because what the witches built was incredible. The best things are reserved for the Emperor. ”

As she muttered like a child, Duchess Vallua, who was in the audience, burst into laughter.

"What is it farther away from us?"

"That's right!"

The Emperor smiled and said,

"Hmm, can I see your device?"

I snuck out two of them.

“So e..”

"Eight meters?"

Duke Vallua looked at me with an arrogant look, and the family who did not know about it focused on the device with the questionable face.

The emperor asked,

"80 meters?"

"No."

"Then?"

“8,000 kilometers.”

"……Huh?"

I spoke clearly, looking straight at Duke Vallua.

“8.000 kilometers!”

Which device can only travel 8 kilometers? Mine can travel as far as 8,000 kilometers.

Later, the device from Vallua fell out of the Emperor's hands.

"Ap, what, what, what did you just say?"

"But since you don't need it, I'll give it to my father."I said with a sad look.

The Emperor's mouth opened anxiously.
