The Baby Raising A Devil-Novel

Chapter 188

TL: Zimmings

A few days later, I frowned as I checked the books in the library.

“Is this all about devils?”

The chairman shook his head lightly.

“That’s right.”

“No way. Wasn’t this the empire that wrote hundreds of books on how to catch fruit fly? It is too little compared to those fruit flies. I’ve searched through many libraries. Can you believe that I only found 3 books?”

“Indeed, this empire was known as a country of Neliard religion. But all of the ‘unclean’ books were burned by them before you were born.”

As I groaned, the chairman shrugged his head.

“I guess it’s good enough to find three books.”

“But I don’t think it will help at all. Even the title of this book is <Human, Have Pymon’s Passion>. It’s a self-help book.”

Are you kidding me?

I put my hand on my waist with a surprised face.

‘Pymon?’

At that moment, a bright voice was heard from the communication device on the other side of the table.

[Found it!]

I opened my eyes and hurriedly ran to the communication device.

“Seria, did you find it?”

[There’s only one book. There is a book called “The Devil of Time”. This is in the library of Vallua.]

I raise my arms and say, “Hurray!”

Dad made a deal with the emperor, and the Vallua came under Dubblede’s control. Thanks to this, it was possible to browse the library of Vallua.

‘I’m glad the Duke of Vallua is a garbage.’

It’s a weird thing to say, but in fact, if they’re a family that commits crimes casually, it’s very possible for them to keep books related to devils without handing it over to the temple.

I chuckled and nodded my head.

“Good, good. Bring them all.”

[There are also sailboat blueprints and how to make an oriharcon Sword. Should I bring it too?]

“Of course.”

[Indeed, the Duke of Vallua…]

“Yes, long live the Duke of Vallua!”

Seria, the chairman, and Zachaey giggled as I shouted ecstatically. Trigon was the only one shaking his head.

“It’s fortunate that you’re far away from morals too.”

Not long ago, I told my close associates who I was and what I had seen in the past.

Seria was heartbroken by the misfortune that had happened to me, Trigon and Zachary couldn’t even comfort her. And the chairman…

“There’s still a wound on my heart, if you touch it casually….”

When I spoke in a faint voice, Trigon, who was carrying the book, flinched.

“Pardon?”

“Think about it, Trigon. Even the wounds on the body can take several years to completely heal, and maybe it won’t go away forever. Just imagine the wound on the heart that we couldn’t see…….”

“Oh no, that’s not what I mean. It’s a joke…!”

“Trigon, there’s something that couldn’t be mentioned as a joke… When you hear such a thing, how heartbreaking will it be for…”

I looked at the chairman with sad eyes.

“The chairman.”

Then, the chairman and Trigon opened their eyes at the same time. I nodded and continued.

“The old man’s heart is weak. The chairman is very heartbroken for not being able to protect me. Ahh, if someone, who was an aide from the previous generation had looked after me properly, this cute and lovely lady would not have had such misfortune…!”

Then I opened his eyes and glanced at the chairman. The chairman was still bewildered. Trigon and Zachary, who were together, grinned when they realized that I had deliberately taunted the chairman in order to ease his mind.

“I see. I forgot for a moment that the old man’s heart was feeble. Lord Noanoke, I sincerely apologize.”

The chairman frowned.

“Shut up. Who is the cute and lovely girl? Who is it?”

The chairman shook his head and handed me three books about devils.

“I can’t think of anything by your side.”

“If you are sorry, I hope you will repay me with working passionately rather than useless self-blame.”

“Are you trying to make this old man die sooner?”

“We need to get Adrian. Now, as soon as Seria gives me the book, let’s organize it.”

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard our conversation. Just as I was tidying up, I heard someone running from the hallway.

“Lady!”

It was Hans, Duke, and Seto. There was only one thing that happened if they came to the mansion.

‘It’s about the temple.’

This is because they were assigned to check the movement of the temple.

“What’s the matter?”

“I think the prophecy has come!”

“Prophecy?”

Did any prophecy come at this time?

I thought about it, but there have never been such things at this time.

“Are you sure?”

“The Pope and his cardinals must have secretly visited the temple’s lake a few days ago. The area around the lake was always sealed off but uncle Phillip said he saw some people coming in.”

“The temple’s lake is a place where prophecies come down…”

Hans replied with a very excited look on his face.

“And, and! They saw the God’s language interpreters. They must be gathering there to interpreting it? Right?”

Me, Trigon, and the chairman exchanged glances.

“The situation is clear. Good job, guys.”

Hans, Duke and Seto covered their blushing cheeks and murmured, “It’s our job…”

I nodded and asked them.

“Well done. Can you see the scribbles and bring it to me?”

It takes months for the priests to interpret the new language, but I definitely learned it in my first life. As long as they write it down for me, I can use the information first.

Hans shook his head.

“We are not priests, so we can’t enter the place…”

“I guess so too.”

“I’m sorry…….”

“No, it’s great just knowing this.”

I gave each of the good little undercover detectives a gold coin.

Children who held gold coins for the first time in their lives trembled.

“If anything happens in the future, let me know right away.”

“Yes……!”

“Okay.”

“You should say yes politely to a lady, Seto.”

The children saluted and disappeared.

“Oh my God, what is it?”

The chairman looked at me with a stiff face.

“Who knows.”

“Didn’t they tell us that the prophecy came down? Has this ever happened? It’s never going to be good for us.”

“I don’t care.”

I answered while looking out the window at the temple’s roof.

“We can make it good for us.”

“…pardon?”

“I’ll make sure of it. Let’s go.”

After returning from the past, I swore. I will never lost something to the temple again.

‘Even using all kinds of tactics.’

I smiled eerily like a villain.

***

In the Imperial Palace Tea Party, Cecilia was isolated in a place where the candidates for the election gathered.

The Empress Dowager held a grudge against Cecilia because of the incident before.

Javelin should be her shield, but it wasn’t the case. When Javelin Ariege, the most popular figure in the society, supported Cecilia, the candidates who were her followers gathered together and began to slander Cecilia.

They were careful in front of Javelin, but on the day she was gone, they started attacking Cecilia. At this tea party, no one spoke to Cecilia.

“Weren’t you a Dubblede knight?”

Someone spoke to Cecilia. Cecilia answered, putting down her teacup.

“That’s true.”

“I don’t think it was just a master-servant relationship you have with His Excellency.”

“… What do you want to say?”

“That’s right. Would it make sense to recommend a woman who was only a knight as a candidate?”

“Hey!”

“Oh my, why are you angry? I’m asking because I’m curious. Just curious.”

Cecilia bit her lip..

“Refrain from speaking carelessly. There is only loyalty and trust between me and His Excellency.”

“Of course it is. We’re only joking around.”

The candidate who spread the fan smiled.

“It’s just we wonder why the young lady of Dubblede so nice to you. Especially when Miss Cecilia left the Dubblede years ago…….”

Cecilia’s face gradually become grim.

“I told you to refrain from speaking carelessly.”

“Of course we didn’t believe that rumour. But they said the reason why she treat you well was becauss she’s actually an illegitimate child between you and His Excellency. Where do they find such nonsense?”

Cecilia clenched her fist. She was ready to throw her gloves for a duel but they can’t see it because her hands were under the table.

“The problem is Miss Cecilia conduct yourself. How did you behave that such rumors…”

Just then,

“Leblaine of the Dubblede family arrives.”

The luxurious door opened with the voice of the attendant, and Leblaine, dressed in a red, strode across the party hall.

And…

“Aggh-!”

She pour tea was over the candidate’s head. The candidate trembled like a wet mouse.

“Thi-this, what is this-!”

“I’ve heard everything.”

“W-what?!”

The recommender who supoorted the girl whose hair was wet, rushed towards her side.

“What is this! Anna Melissa, are you okay? Huh? Oh my god…!”

“She’s the one who speak fearlessly, Sir.”

“Wh-what do you mean…”

“Dubblede will only give one warning. If you want to protect your wealth and status, think carefully.”

When the man and the candidate were startled, Leblaine continued.

“I’ll say it clearly.”

Leblaine’s eyes narrowed as the candidate’s face turned red.

“If you touch this person, I’ll make sure you suffer.”

They froze in an instant.

All of them covered their mouth seeing the child’s cold eyes.

Her way of intimidation was exactly like that of Javelin, and her cold eyes was exactly like Theodore’s.

Leblaine reached out to Cecilia.

Like a scene from a romance .

“Let’s go.”

Cecilia gently took the little child’s hand with a shy face.

“Yes…”
