The Baby Raising A Devil-Novel

Chapter 319

TL: Zimmings

‘Pur.’

As I said that, the arrowhead was wrapped in moisture in the air.

I pulled the bowstring.

Swish-!

The arrow that flew through the air lodged Mina’s neck.

Kiik!!

A sharp scream echoed.

***

She remembers the first day she came to this world.

The life she lived as a savior, not a monster like this.

She clearly remembers the moment when she first stepped into the world where she should be.

It was the night when she fell asleep while walking endlessly along the Han River. When she opened her eyes, she was in endless darkness.

Then she arrived at the light after wandering in the darkness without knowing how many hours or days it was.

[I’ve been waiting for you. For a very long time.]

It was the pope who held her hand, when she sat down due to exhaustion.

Behind his back were the five dukes sitting in luxurious chairs.

Those who’s not related to her became a family.

They were her friends, family, and supporters.

Adrian, Henry, Isaac, Johann, and…… Vincent Amity.

He raised her when she fell, cheered her when she was discouraged, and kept her from getting lost in the dark.

At first, they didn’t care about her.

Come to think of it, they were very wary about her.

He was so wary of her that he raised his voice every time he met her.

[What happened to the child of fate at the shopping district?]

[Henry Dubblede, Isaac Dubblede…]

[How dare you, someone from the temple called-]

[Stop it, Isaac.]

[But!]

[Enough. Child, it’s an honor. Do you remember all the names?]

[You don’t have to be that sarcastic every time.]

[Excuse me. The vulgar Dubblede bloodline seems to have disturbed the heart of the precious child.]

It was unfair at first.

Whenever she does something wrong, they scold her.

Soon after, however, she learned why they were overly wary of her.

[Benedict, Is there any way not to keep the Dubblede brothers wary of me? Every time we meet, I feel uncomfortable.….]

[It will be difficult. Because they have a bad history with the temple.]

[What does that mean? Did they have something to do with the temple?]

[When the lords were young, they lost their mother due to a power struggle between their predecessor and the current duke. They misunderstood that the temple intervened in that matter.]

[Oh my gosh…]

If they had lost their mother at such an early age, they could have grown up without knowing affection.

Since they misunderstood the temple, they could have hated her, the child of fate.

After getting to know them, Mina persistently held out her hand.

[Why are you chasing me like this?]

[Don’t assume that you know me just because you have little compassion. It’s a world where a family can even kill each other. It would be easier if we aren’t related. Isn’t it?]

[Don’t come near me anymore.]

She hurt him and got hurt in the process.

One day, she hated it so much that she didn’t know what to do, but when she saw their face again, she felt sorry for them enduring the world alone.

It happened when she wanted to give up.

[Please don’t come! You can’t understand? Huh?!]

[I just, I……]

[When I see you, I think of my mother!]

Isaac, who said so, cried.

It was her first time seeing a man taller than her crying like a child, so she couldn’t leave him alone even more.

[Hello, Henry. Hello, Johann. Where is Isaac?]

[Child, was it funny that I said not to come again?]

[Yes. I understand and it’s not funny, but I have to come.]

[I beg your pardon?]

[Isaac cried. He’s angry because he thought of the duchess when he saw me. But isn’t that not anger but longing? So I decided to be just a tool for him.]

[…A tool?]

[A tool that reminds him of hid mother.]

[Why do you want to stick with my brother like that?]

[He’s like me.]

[…What?]

[Because you guys are people like me. I was once like you guys, too. I was so lonely that I didn’t want to get caught being lonely, so I put up a wall around me.]

[…….]

[If you can feel less lonely because of me, I can be a tool.]

It’s been four months since that time.

At a noble party, a lord, who was drunk, caught her and quarreled.

[Oh, the child of fate. But do you know that you’re still a commoner? No, no. You’re a loner without parents and siblings. You’re worse than a commoner!]

[What?!]

[I’m saying you’re worse than an idiot. But how dare you make fun of nobles?]

[I’m not mocking you, I just wanted to let you know that there is a world regardless of status. We need a world where we don’t discriminate and don’t hate each other.]

The lord poured alcohol on her.

Mina, who was wet, could hear cold sneers around her.

She just wanted to let everyone know that they can all be united, so why should she be ridiculed?

Why should she be hated for doing her best for this world?

After all, was there no place for her in this world?

It was terribly lonely like the original world.

Nobles holding champagne glasses or fans stood silently and giggled at her, who lowered her head.

The moment their giggles pierced her skin like arrowheads…

[Ahh-!]

[Let’s talk more.]

They appeared

Isaac, who twisted the lord’s wrist, was very angry.

Henry and Johann also. Henry, who always frowned when he saw her, shouted that day while hiding her behind his back.

[If you touch her again, you’ll have to throw your gloves at me. I’m talking to you, trash.]

Johann, who put the jacket on her shoulder, strode out through the cold space, holding her wrist.

It was only in the dark garden where there was no one that they stopped.

Even though he brought her out, Johann didn’t say a word.

[If you have something you want to say, do it. If I’m funny, it’s okay to say it’s funny.]

She managed to put up with the pain and looked at Johann. He stared at her without saying a word.

[Say it! You’re ashamed of me-]

[It’s not funny.]

[…What?]

[I never made fun of your sense of justice. Rather……]

[…….]

[…I respect you.]

She remember that day clearly, very clearly.

The wind that tickled her hair and his sweet scent.

Her ears turned slightly red with embarrassment.

She will never forget the beautiful blue eyes shining in the moonlight.

That day, Dubblede became Mina’s brother.

And, and…

[Greetings, child. I’m the Duke of Amity.]

My father.

She admired him so much that her heart raced when he stood in front of her.

Vincent Amity was the father she had longed for.

An ideal noble.

He would never turn a blind eye to injustice.

An honorable knight praised by all people.

A man completely different from her stepfather, who was swallowed up by desire and eventually turned into a criminal.

[Duke. If you do not want to adopt me, please feel free to tell me.]

[…What does that mean?]

[The duke has Leblaine. She may be uncomfortable with me, and the duke may not be happy to have a new daughter. So, even if I’m sad, if the duke doesn’t want me…….]

[Mina.]

[Yes?]

[I mean it. I am very excited to have a new daughter with a noble soul.]

[…….]

[I will give you my surname. Will you be my daughter?]

How nervous my heart was on the day she became Mina Amity.

She was so happy!

Ah yes. This world was the world God gave for her.

She will gladly be the savior for this beautiful world.

She also really liked her new sister. Leblaine Amity was a bit passive, but she was a kind person who knew how to be considerate of others.

Although she’s depressed because she has often let the world down, if she lead her, she will be able to do her job admirably too.

[Leblaine, you’re here? Congratulations on your victory! It’s been a long time since a party. Don’t hide, let’s go.]

[I like it here.]

[It’s not good. It’s dark, so you can’t see anything. You’re afraid it’ll be weird if you go, right?]

[It’s not like that……]

[No. Let’s go, okay? If someone bullies my sister, I’ll protect her.]

She wasn’t reliable, but she was lovely.

She is such a trustworthy person.

She is also the savior of the world.

Someone who can save her poor sister.

‘But why did this happen?’

Mina, who collapsed, looked at Leblaine without moving.

Three brothers of Dubblede running to Leblaine were seen. The Duke of Amity, who was standing, looked at Leblaine while panicking too.

“Kid!”

“Leblaine!”

Isaac and Henry supported Leblaine, who was staggering. Johann also hurriedly looked at her.

The three of them were looking at Leblaine as if they were about to die.

Leblaine frowned and said.

“I’m using too much energy. I’m fine, so I’m going to go to the front row.”

“Go back to the mansion.”

“I’m okay.”

“Please listen to me!”

Henry, who grew pale, shouted.

As if he was worried about himself.

Mina trembled heavily. And she said…

“It’s me…….”

The eyes of the three brothers turned to her.

Mina’s body was slowly returning to its original state.

She clenched her teeth. Tears fill her eyes, blurring my vision.

“It was me who saved the world. Not Leblaine, not that kid…”

“…….”

“…….”

“…….”

“She remembered my relationship with you and pretended to be me. That’s why she took you away…… Please open your eyes…….”

Johann, who was gently staring at Mina crying sadly, slowly opened his mouth.
