The Baby Raising A Devil-Novel

Chapter 281

TL: Zimmings

A few days later, while wiping Lea’s hand with a wet towel, I glanced at the chairman.

“Did the pope ask the emperor to stop Mina’s detention?”

“That’s right.”

I groaned and put down the wet towel.

“For what reason?”

“The day after tomorrow, they’ll have a ceremony at the lunar eclipse.

The chairman who said so handed me the parchment paper. A copy of the pope’s letter to the emperor seemed to have been obtained from the Amjo (Dubblede’s intelligence agency).

After reading the content, I burst into laughter.

So here’s the summary of the content.

[There is only one child of fate that the oracle has descended upon.

The reason this land is in turmoil is because the wrong child is using the true name of God’s messenger.

One of the children of their fate is not a true messenger of God, so we have to sort out the real thing from the most powerful lunar eclipse.]

“If Mina is a true child of fate, there is no way to punish her because she is an irreplaceable person whether she is guilty or not.”

“Yes. That’s how they try to move on from the meteor case.”

“They could take this opportunity to completely push me out of the way. But how will they cover it up?”

“In a lunar eclipse ceremony, a divine pattern is manifested to summon an angel.”

I folded my arms and twisted my lips.

“What, an angel? It must be a devil.”

The beings in this world are only those who were pioneers in ancient times.

All of them became devils, and people have mistaken the relatively good ones among the devils for angels.

So, in the first place, angels do not exist in this world.

“So, who are the angels they want to summon?”

“They’re going to call down an angel that everyone on the continent knows.”

“Then…….”

“Yes.”

We spoke at the same time.

“Aslan.”

“So it’s Aslan.”

Aslan, an angel recorded during the founding of the empire.

It was an angel with a legend that when the founding emperor was defeated in the battle with Ivan and withdrew, it descended to the imperial family and saved 100,000 dying imperial troops.

“Aslan…… What kind of devil is Aslan?”

“Isn’t there only one devil with healing power?”

“Yes, it’s Gremory. It is clear that the temple has secured a passage for Gremory.”

Gremory. It’s Gremory…….

After muttering the devil’s name several times, I looked at Lea.

“That passage, can’t we get our hands on it?”

When I looked at Lea, the chairman bowed a little.

“It’s not that I don’t understand your feelings. Even if you visit Benedict, you don’t know if he can make an antidote, and you need to be in a hurry because it’ll be too late. But lady…….”

“…….”

“It’s difficult unless you break into the temple and take the pope’s head.”

“…….”

“The current situation is on our side. If you’re greedy for something you can’t achieve, it’ll be a problem.”

The chairman couldn’t hide his worry.

After Lea became like this, I made a thorough plan and moved, but I’m out of my mind.

No one in Dubblede blamed me because they knew what Lea meant to me.

The chairman must be concerned that I will focus on Lea and make a mistake with my family and my life at stake.

“Lady-”

“I know.”

“…….”

“I hope you understand that much.”

I smiled brightly, and the chairman had a faint smile on his lips as if he had relaxed.

“How is Lea?”

“My Lea is always cool! She’s still enduring it nicely. Taylor said that the poison progresses slower than he thought.”

When I showed off, the chairman laughed.

“That’s it. Maybe it’s the patient’s will!”

“Yes. Your Lea is always great.”

I picked up the wet towel again and carefully wiped Lea’s face.

Just as young Lea washed away the dirty child with all her heart.

I remember the hand that hugged me tenderly. It tickled me and I laughed, Lea often whispered as she rubbed her face against my cheek.

I’m her treasure.

The sunlight from outside the window make Lea shine. I laughed like a child back then.

***

Cecilia followed up with the emperor on the move after being alone with the pope.

“How did it go? You didn’t allow the ceremony, did you?”

“…….”

“Your Majesty!”

She said with a look of impatience.

“The temple’s support for the second child is something even a passing dog knows. They’re not trying to identify the real child of fate. They’re trying to control the empire by seating the person who suits their taste as the child of fate……!”

The emperor who stopped walking, stared at Cecilia with a firm face.

“Are you the mother of the empire or Dubblede’s person?”

“Yes?”

“Answer me!”

“…The empire would not have achieved this much revival without Dubblede.”

“That’s the problem-!”

The emperor, who cried out, looked around and lowered his voice.

“That’s the problem.”

“Are you concerned that Dubblede’s influence has flooded the imperial palace? You’re afraid you’ll lose the emperor’s authority?”

Cecilia’s forehead was wrinkled. Seeing her not backing down, the emperor’s eyes became colder.

“My people are suffering from the war between the temple and Dubblede.”

“…….”

“While I have been full and sleeping in this imperial palace, the people are sick and hungry.”

“…….”

“How can we lean on Dubblede all the time? Look at the situation now. We should be the ones responsible for protecting and supporting the people.

“…….”

“Make your position clear. If you’re not going to be a mother of the empire and remain as a knight of Dubblede, say it now and I will see you off.”

As the emperor began to walk again with a cold look, Cecilia opened her mouth again.

“The temple has intimidated His Majesty.”

The emperor quickly turned his head.

“You…!”

Cecilia pulled the emperor’s collar roughly.

“What is it? What threats did they use?”

“…….”

“Your Majesty.”

Just then,

“Your Majesty.”

From the opposite side, Empress Yvonne approached with a big smile.

“I was worried that you didn’t eat… but I think I got the timing wrong.”

“No. Let’s go.”

The emperor left Cecilia behind and walked with Empress Yvonne.

Tri, hesitating from afar, approached Cecilia, looking at the emperor’s back.

“Aunt…….”

“…….”

Tri carefully grabbed her aunt’s fingertips.

“I know.”

“I’m not here today because I’m the knight of Dubblede….”

“Yes, I know you’re here as his wife.”

“…….”

Tri forced a smile and stroked Cecilia’s hand with both hands.

“I know you didn’t want him to regret today. I also know you don’t want him to be lonely anymore.”

“…….”

“Because of ‘that’? The thing that Leblaine doesn’t know…”

Cecilia stroked Tri’s cheek and smiled bitterly. Then she looked around and whispered.

“Deliver it to Leblaine through Emeline. You shouldn’t come into contact with Dubblede yourself.”

“Yes.”

“Tell them that His Majesty allowed the lunar eclipse ceremony, and that when the second child summons the angel, things get out of hand. You should never let them summon the angel.”

Tri nodded and ran hurriedly.

Cecilia, who was looking at her niece’s back, covered her face with one hand.

‘Please, lady.’

Please save His Majesty.

His Majesty… Please, he’s the one who is holding out alone.

The next day, Mina was released.

The lunar eclipse ceremony will be held two days later at night.

The eyes of the world were all focused on the altar where the ceremony would take place.

***

At the lunar eclipse day at night, everyone in Dubblede was very quiet.

I hung etwal around my neck after getting ready to go out. Dahlia, Linda, and Yuni put a cape engraved with Dubblede’s pattern on my shoulder.

It was the cape that Lea put on me a few years ago.

“I thought it wouldn’t fit me because I grew up a lot.”

When I laughed, Dahlia, Linda, and Yuni alsp laughed. Their hands are full of bandages. They seemed to have repaired it all night.

“If Lea had woken up, I would have worn this cape for her.”

“Yes.”

“Have a safe trip, lady. Go home safely.”

“Okay.”

Wearing a cape, I left the mansion.

My dad and brothers were standing in front of the carriage. We looked at each other once and climbed into the carriage silently.

The carriage ran quietly towards the altar.

There were many people in front of the altar.

The nobles and the people were standing around the altar, and Mina stood on the altar in an undecorated white dress.

As she did in my first life.

When the pope raised his hand, the flag fluttered on the castle around the altar.

And the shadow of the moon began to get darker little by little.

Mina slowly lifted the etwal.

The etwal vibrated thinly.

However, it’s not the real etwal that is in Mina’s hand, but the real one is in my arms.
