The Baby Raising A Devil-Chapter 270

Chapter 270

TL: Zimmings

The Duke of Amity reached out to me, but was blocked by my dad.

“Don’t touch her.”

“…….”

I said while holding my dad’s sleeve.

“I want to go home…”

The imperial family and the temple will send an investigation team to understand the situation because of the incident. If I stay here, I don’t know what will happen.

My dad nodded and carried me. Even when I was in his arms, the Duke of Amity was still confused seeing me.

***

When I came back with my dad, the mansion became chaotic. Isaac, Henry, and Johann, who was recuperating in the mansion, ran towards us.

“Kid! Older brother, doctor! Doctor…!”

As Isaac panicked, dad said firmly.

“Don’t call a doctor. Call Trigon instead.”

“Why Trigon… Is it about her divine power? Was that sudden wave of mana in the shopping district related to her? Huh?

Henry and Isaac’s expressions hardened when dad nodded. Among my older brothers, Johann was the most rational.

“Henry, you call Trigon.”

“Yes.”

“Close the mansion immediately. We’re in an emergency. If someone comes from the temple due to the shopping district incident, don’t treat them as a guest, but be thoroughly wary.”

After Johann’s order, people moved in unison.

My dad hurriedly carried me inside, and shortly after, Trigon arrived through a teleportation scroll. He looked at me right away, perhaps because he already heard the story from Henry.

“How are you?”

“Yes… just a little tired.”

“Please give me your wrist for a moment.”

When Trigon grabbed my wrist, I felt a warm energy. He checked the state of my divine power with mana. Trigon, who had been holding my wrist for a long time, narrowed his brows.

“What is this…”

“What’s going on? Is it serious? Huh?”

Isaac urgently asked, but I sighed and said,

“Isaac, don’t distract him….”

“But…”

“I’m okay, just a little tired. It’s because I suddenly use a lot of strength.”

“… Is it true, Trigon?”

“We’ll have to do a test to find out the details, but right now, I don’t see any signs of something life threatening.”

I smiled helplessly and said, “See.” Only then did my brothers sigh in relief.

Isaac said while patting my head.

“I kept worrying because you faint every time.”

“I’m healthy.”

“It hasn’t been long since you woke up after fainting for 2 weeks.”

Then he grabbed my nose playfully and shook it lightly. When I pouted my lips, Henry and Johann kicked his legs at the same time. While my brothers quarreled, I was lost in thought.

‘What happened back then?’

I have felt that feeling once when I was sacrificed.

There was a voice saying in my head that it’s not the time.

Mina became blonde.

And…

[Leblaine…]

The look in Duke Amity’s eyes.

My dad came to pick me up, so he might have guessed that I was Leblaine Dubblede. But…

‘He called me like he used to in my first life.’

When the incident occurred, the memory of my first life came to my mind like a movie. At that time, the Duke of Amity was holding Mina, and if he saw the memory of his first life like me…….

“… laine.”

“…….”

“Leblaine Dubblede!”

I shuddered and shook my head. My dad and brothers were looking at me.

“What are you thinking?”

“Huh?”

“Trigon wants you to put divine power into a spinel. He’ll have to do a detailed inspection.”

“Ah… yes.”

I gave divine power to the spinel that Trigon gave.

‘Let’s not think about it.’

Let’s forget about Mina and the Duke of Amity. How could he remember his first life when the duke hasn’t regressed?

But what if he remembered it? Even If he accused me of being a child of the evil god, he has no evidence.

He wasn’t a fool just because he was righteous. If he called me a child of evil god without evidence, no one would believe him.

‘Still.. just in case I should avoid him.’

It’s a little dangerous to get his tears myself, I guess I should change my strategy. I looked at my best strategy, that is my dad and brothers.

“I’ll listen to the person who brings Duke Amity’s tears!”

In an instant, my family’s eyes lit up.

***

A week later, Amity’s knight came into the investigation team office, coughing one after another.

“How did the smoke get in here?”

The knights, who were shedding tears with runny noses, answered.

“There’s a fire nearby, so they’re putting out the fire.”

“We’re so unlucky today, all sorts of things happen.”

“Did something else happen?”

“The waitress at the restaurant accidently gave pepper to our eyes, and they also tried to poke our eye. Even His Excellency, who was next to me, got repeatedly involved. Don’t you think so, sir? ……Your Excellency?”

Only after calling several times did the Duke Amity look at the knight.

“What are you thinking?”

“Nothing much. Why are you here?”

“It’s about Max. He regained consciousness last night. If you interrogate him, you’ll be able to catch the perpetrator.”

“Hmm…”

When he muttered, the knights looked at each other in confusion.

Originally, Duke Amity was so strict that no one could relax around him. However, recently, he had been drowning in his own thoughts.

The Duke of Amity, who was touching his chin with his fingers, picked up his coat.

“Alright, proceed with the interrogation as scheduled.”

“Shall we escort him? Where are you going- Your Excellency!”

He could hear the voice of the knight behind his back, but the Duke of Amity kept walking. He was going to Dubblede.

When he reached his destination, the guard who saw the Duke of Amity looked surprised.

“Please stop visiting us. I’ve told you several times that the lady is not here.”

It was the third day that the Duke of Amity came to Dubblede. He asked Theodore, the head of the family to invite him, but he was ignored and now he can’t even see his face.

“Please tell Lady Dubblede.”

“The lady is not here, sir.”

“If they avoid it like this, there will be no progress in the investigation.”

“I’m only acting as ordered. I only told the truth. Your Excellency cannot enter the mansion, the child and lady are not in the mansion.”

“The person who knows the perpetrator has come to his senses. There will be an interrogation soon. During the interrogation, I would ask, ‘Is the perpetrator Theodore Dubblede?'”

It was the same as saying that he would accuse the Duke of Dubblede. The guard’s face became pale. He agonized for a long time with a frown, and only opened his mouth after some time.

“His Excellency and the young masters are really not at home. There is a family meeting today with the Central Tower Council (the highest voting body of noble families).”

“So?”

“…I will deliver your words to Countess Ariege and His Excellency.”

The guard went inside the mansion.

***

I frowned while reading Mina’s report on her actions for a few days.

“Is it true that Duke Amity would mention father in the interrogation?”

Upon hearing the duke’s words from the guard, I asked the chairman.

“From what I’ve heard, yes, but don’t worry. I have ordered him to urgently deliver the news to the central tower where he is located and to the sanatorium on the outskirts of the island where Johann is.”

“Yes.”

I stroked the edge of the parchment.

‘Let’s not think about it. I decided to avoid him.’

Who is the Duke of Amity to accuse others of sin?

In my first life, there was a time when he met a group of over a hundred mages and almost died. Everyone said it was Dubblede’s work, but he couldn’t accuse him without evidence.

‘There was a time like that. Right, don’t worry about it…’

I nervously put down the parchment.

‘… How could I not be nervous!’

Is he really going to do it?

“Where is the dyuke now?”

“Didn’t you say that you will meet him after you get his tears and return to your original body?”

“That was before the dyuke threatened me. Have you ever seen anyone threatening my dad and bwothers?”

“…I haven’t.”

I stared at the main gate fiercely.

‘You thought I’d just leave him be because he’s my father in my first life? I will not let him go either.’

“Yes, tell my dad and brothers that I am meeting Dyuke Amity.”

“Yes.”

I went out through the back door and headed to the Duke of Amity at the main gate. As I frowned, he laughed.

“I finally saw you.”

I felt it just by the way he spoke. As expected, he knows that I am Leblaine. It wasn’t a situation where I could not refute him.

‘No magic or divine power detected and there are also no magic tools. Great, he couldn’t make a proof.’

I looked around and said,

“There’s no way you’ll ever be left alone for doing something to my dad. It’s a warning. Go back.”

When I said that and turned my back,

“Is your father really Theodore?”

“… Huh?”

“I don’t think so.”

“…….”

“If that’s true, then I wouldn’t have seen you calling me a father.”
