The Baby Raising A Devil-Chapter 257

Chapter 257

TL: Zimmings

Honghae, who said so, dragged me into the laboratory and said, “Come on, let’s go!”

Juliet, who was outside, shouted nervously.

“Don’t break anything again, Honghae!”

Honghae moved her hands without hearing her words.

‘Huh?’

I looked at Honghae with my eyes widened. As a princess of a country, I thought she would not be great at cleaning. But she was skillful.

She cleaned the dust on the desk, table and every corner.

Even if her skills were not up to par to janitors, it was still amazing compared to other princesses.

When I blinked, Honghae smiled and asked, “Why?”

“You’we so good at cweaning.”

“I did it often since I was young.”

“But you’we a princess!”

“I have to do everything to survive.”

When I made a puzzled expression, she lightly grabbed my cheek and fondled it.

“You don’t know because you came from a strong country, right? In some countries, the emperor may be weak.”

“The emperor?”

“Yes. In a distant country full of black-haired people, sometimes the emperor doesn’t hold absolute power. His servants, or the people, or if not, the empress dowager could control the emperor.”

“…….”

“As soon as my father came of age, he became an emperor. The empress dowager wanted a foolish king who could listen well. She slaughtered all relatives who had the right of succession in front of him.”

Saying that, Honghae’s eyes become cold.

“So my father became terrified and became a weak emperor. According to the will of the Empress Dowager, he has dozens of wives and became a parrot who pretends not to know anything and repeats only ‘Mother is right.'”

“…….”

“When the empress dowager passed away, he became the parrot of his nephew, the prime minister.”

“…….”

“Fear make people stupid. Anyway, that’s why the emperor always tells his children that we should do everything to survive.”

“What else do ywo do?”

“Whenever something happens in the country, I should sort that out. I also pretended to love my people without actually loving them, pretending that their pain is mine. I also clean up like a maid.”

“What about other princes and princesses?”

“My siblings and I are in a different situation. I’m a child of a fisherman before my father became an emperor.”

‘The man who was said to have been a fisherman’s lover is Honghae’s mother.’

The rag was crumpled in Honghae’s hand. Biting her lip, she looked back at me and, as usual, she smiled.

“Well, let’s get it over with. Can you tell your father and uncle to vote later?

“…Yes.”

I nodded and began to clean sincerely.

***

After cleaning, I returned to Henry’s room. When I told my three brothers the story from Sandra and Honghae today, Isaac nodded.

“Honghae’s family history is complicated. Rumours said that the emperor kneeled down to the prime minister to bring the mother and daughter to the palace.”

“Eh? Really?”

When I was startled, Henry said,

“I don’t know if it’s true or not, but that means that his authority is weak. Do you have time to worry about other people’s affairs? I also knew about Sandra’s affairs”

As expected of Henry. He knew everything.

“Sandra’s brother has been suffering from lung disease since he was born, and it was serious. He’s been unconscious for half a year. I think he’s still breathing because of the priests.”

“Then she won’t be able to weject tempwe wequest? (Then she won’t be able to reject temple request?)”

“Yes, it’s a famous story. He’s Justin, the count’s sleeping-”

“What?!”

“Huh?”

I got up and grabbed Henry’s sleeves.

“What dwid you just say?”

“The count’s sleeping son…”

“J-Justin?”

“Yes.”

Oh my god.

That Justin was Sandra’s brother?

I covered my mouth with both hands and screamed silently.

“Leblaine?”

Henry called me, and I thought ecstatically.

‘Chul-soo, this is that, right?”‘

When I remembered what Chul-soo taught me, I raised my arms and shouted.

“Eureka!”

I shouted passionately.

Ah, I’m glad I came to Odis Academy.

This place was really a field of golden connections. Isaac, Henry and Johann looked at each other.

“Are you plotting something?”

I do!

I immediately called Emeline. When she arrived at Henry’s room, her mouth was agape while looking at me.

“I heard that you’ve gotten smaller, but you really…… It’s the size of a rat.”

“Hey… anyway Emeline go to Sandra.”

“…What do you want me to do when I meet her?”

“I’ll gwice you the instwuction there.”

I handed her a tweaked communication device made by Henry (who ignored the school rules) and laughed wickedly.

***

Emeline, who put the communication device in her ear, headed to the bench.

Sandra was already there as she had been contacted in advance by Henry’s lackey.

Sandra’s expression became stiff when she saw Emeline.

“This letter, Emeline, was it from you?”

‘Letter?’

[That’s what I swent her. Say yes]

Emeline replied with a sigh.

“Yes. It’s me.”

“What does it mean that you know my secret?”

‘What?’

When Emeline paused in surprise, a voice came from the communication device again this time.

[Twat is what I wrote.]

‘What…!’

When Emeline bit her lips, Sandra urged her.

“Isn’t it the letter you wrote?”

“Ah, I wrote it. Yes, I wrote it.”

‘I’ll se you later. Blaine.’

Sandra held her jacket anxiously.

“I don’t know what threat you’re trying to make, but this doesn’t work for me. I don’t have any secrets.”

[Follow what I say fwom now on.]

Emeline copied the words coming out from the communication device.

“Did you really have no secret? What about your younger brother who has lung disease and needs to be healed by a priest?”

“What are you talking about? I have no such secret-”

“Actually, he’s Sandra’s son- What?!”

When Emeline, who was surprised, shouted, a grumble came out of the communication device.

[Why did you cut off the flow!]

‘What is that? What are you talking about?”

Sandra’s younger brother was her son? Really? She was particularly pretty, but she didn’t think that…

She shook her head and as she was organizing her thoughts.

Then Emeline looked at Sandra.

Sandra’s face turned pale.

‘… Oh my God.’

“Well, I don’t know what you’re talking about. If you’re playing around, I’ll get going.”

[No, no! Hold on. And tell her agwain!]

Emeline hurriedly grabbed her wrist and shouted.

“Wait. I have something to say. I understand how you feel. I know you had no choice but to do that.”

“…….”

“You gave birth to a priest’s child… priest’s child…”

Emeline’s expression hardened. Because she was also a hidden child of a priest. Sandra shook off Emeline’s hand, stepped back l and murmured.

“It’s a lie. What you say is not true, and even if it is true, you will never understand my heart.”

“… Even if I couldn’t understand you, I could understand your son.”

“What did you say?”

This was not what Leblaine told her to say. Emeline soon sighed and asked in a cold voice.

“What about your father? Does he know that you gave birth to a baby?”

“He’s not my son.”

“What did he say to you? He’s going to see you and your son soon. That nonsense? Does he want you to be obedient? Did he tell you to carry out the temple’s tasks?”

“What do you know…!”

“I know it! Because I’m also a child of a priest.”

“…… What?”

“Don’t be reluctant to abandon him because of your child. Your child wouldn’t like it.”

“…… Pardon?”

“I can live well without my father. He is not a responsible person, but I have a good mother who takes care of me.”

“…….”

“That’s what I want to tell my mom. Please don’t give up your happiness because of me.”

Emeline sighed and took out the communication device in her ear.

“Let me tell you one thing because we’re in the same situation, hold Leblaine’s hand.”

“…….”

“She never avoided responsibility.”

Emeline, who said so, turned her back. And muttered to the communication device.

“Sorry. I messed up because of my temper.”

[No, you’re gweat.]

“What?”

After that,

“What should I do?”

Sandra’s desperate voice reached her ears.

***

After finishing the call, I grinned. Isaac, who was holding his chin, asked.

“Why are you trying to hold onto Justin?”

“The youngest mage candidate. His specialty is cloning items.”

He replicates relics well, but he was caught before. However, because of his outstanding ability, he ends up entering the magic tower.

“Mina’s etwal. What if I duplicate it?”

“If you have amethyst, you don’t need to duplicate it, right? After all, it was said that the passage was one of the things she had received from the priest the other day.”

“The amethyst is not twaken by Sandra.”

…… The culprit it someone else.

‘Then let’s go get back at the criminal who stole my amethyst.’
