The Baby Raising A Devil

Chapter 206

TL: Zimmings

I woke up and rubbed my sleepy eyes in the morning and got out of bed.

“Good morning, lady.”

“Good morning.”

As I waved my hand, the three maids were busily combing my hair, bringing toiletries and clothes for me.

I washed my face with the water Dahlia brought, put on clothes Yuni brought, and sat quietly in a chair while Linda brushed my hair.

Linda’s cousin, Laura, glanced at her older sister combing my hair.

Dahlia and Yuni were also exceptionally quiet today.

I glanced at Linda through the mirror.

In order to protect Johan , who was previously suspected of attacking the nobles, I used Linda, who had a grudge against Marquis Shuheil.

The estate’s budge5 that Linda had swindled was the Marquis of Shuheil’s estate. I don’t know the exact circumstances, but considering that Linda, the most rational out of my maids, did such a thing, her resentment must be quite deep.

“Linda, Marquis Schhale is…”

As I spoke in a perplexed voice, Linda casually showed me the ribbons in her hands.

“What color would you like today? Purple? Pink? I recommend purple.”

The gentle Linda spoke in a cheerful voice so that I wouldn’t worry about Marquis Shuheil’s affairs.

“… I like purple too.”

“It’s an excellent choice.”

Linda skillfully tied the ribbon and put down the comb.

Then she caressed my hand and spoke in a voice full of affection as usual.

“You are cute today. Ah, your chubby hands…”

“…….”

As I lowered my eyebrows, she smiled and rubbed my eyes with her hand.

“I’m okay.”

“…….”

“You won’t realize how grateful I’m to have that chance before.”

“…….”

She playfully tapped and touched my cheek as she continued.

“In the first place, I wouldn’t be able to attack even a single strand of Shuheil’s hair by my own strength. The fact that he is suffering so much that he was almost dead has given me a lot of happiness.”

“Linda…….”

“If you feel sorry for me, today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow… Be happy all the time. For us, that is the greatest joy.”

Yuni and Dahlia looked at me and smiled too.

‘Ah, I’m so lucky.’

I hugged Linda’s neck tightly and rubbed my face against her cheek. Linda laughed, as Yuni and Dahlia said, “Me too! Me too!”

‘This is the only reason why I was willing to suffer those grievance before.’

“It’s a secret, but I like Linda, Dahlia, and Yuni the most!”

When I whispered that to them, they laughed.

The maids dusted my clothes and said, “Have fun today!”

I grabbed Laura’s hand and pulled her out of her room. I looked around and whispered to Laura.

“Why does Linda hate Marquis Shuheil?”

“That…….”

“No matter how I think about it, it’s weird. She must’ve had some grudge to swindle that much money. Also, how come she hadn’t been caught until now?

It would have been easier to contact her after my aunt had brought the three maids to the mansion.

It’s strange that he didn’t do anything to Linda. Laura laughed bitterly.

“They stole something from her first. It’s something so precious that she can’t simply get revenge on it.”

“Something precious?”

“… My sister was greatly comforted by the lady. By raising the lady, she was able to do things she couldn’t do to her.”

“……!”

“That’s all I can tell…”

Laura then said, “Oh, I left the laundry behind!” as she hurried down to the first floor. I covered my mouth and looked at my room to where Linda was.

“The marquis and his wife cared about their only son. After marriage, they did not have another child, and fortunately they had a son. If not, he would have stayed on the far-off border and paid tribute to the gods until the marquess gave birth to a son.”

The chairman’s words came to mind.

‘Then Edgar Shuheil…’

Oh my God. What is this ridiculous situation… As I shook my head, I heard Chul-soo’s voice from the etwal.

[Wow, I thought it was something that only occured in soap operas!]

‘Shut up.’

I shoved the etwal back into my pocket.

‘Then is there anything I can do for Linda?’

As I went down with our arms folded, Nos, who had just entered the courtyard, shouted, “Lady!”

“Good morning.”

“Yes!”

“A letter has arrived from Veronica in Vallua’s mansion. She said that she has finished remodeling the ship.”

Truly the genius mage of the century!

When Veronica came forward, the renovation of the ship, which would have taken three or four months, was completed in an instant.

“That’s great!”

“I’ll give the news to Deglid soon. And this is a message from Javelin in the Imperial Palace. The final selection will be held in a few days.”

Good timing. I nodded and reached out to Nos.

“I’ll pass the report by Veronica to dad.”

“Yes.”

He handed over the report, so I hummed and headed to my dad’s office. When I entered the office, my dad, who was with my three older brothers, welcomed me and sat me down next to me.

“This is Veronica’s report. And soon the last test will start in the Imperial Palace.”

Isaac, who was holding his chin, chuckled.

“Since when did you become a postman?”

“From today!”

He smiled mischievously, lightly grabbed my nose and shook it.

“How did the postman become this small?”

Henry pushed his hand away.

“If you want to die, touch her again. Leblaine, did you sleep well?”

“Yes.”

I patted my nose and pouted my lips and then Johann clicked his tongue.

“Stop joking around.”

Johan warned them softly, “It’s not a joke that the other person doesn’t like it.”

“I didn’t really hate it!”

Then Isaac gave a triumphant expression.

“That’s right.”

I looked at Isaac with a sinister expression.

“So then, can I ask you a favour?”

“……Favour?”

I smiled brightly with my eyes twinkling.

“Sure.”

“You promise me? You !greed to listen to everything right?”

“Yes, I bet on the honor of the family.”

“Then invite Lord Shuheil. Aren’t you two friends?”

“What?!”

Isaac shouted, Henry, who was handing me the fruit, paused, dad and Johann looked at me with their eyes wide open.

Isaac opened his eyes and grabbed the edge of the sofa table with both hands.

“Why that bastard?!”

“Because I want to see him.”

Linda’s son.

I got up from the couch and said, “Then please do it.”

As I was leaving my dad’s office, I felt uneasy for some reason.

***

A cool wind blew in the office where Leblaine had left.

The duke, who was holding his forehead with hus large hand, looked at the people in the office with a cold expression.

“What happened?”

“…….”

“…….”

“…….”

There was no answer from his sons, who had been staring at each other.

Only one vassal smiled and shook his head.

“She must have already reached that age. If it’s Edgar Shuheil, he’s not only good looking, but he’s also talented.”

Tge butlers and administrators flinched and looked at him.

‘Don’t do it! Don’t say it!’

“The lady met Marquis Shuheil a few times, so it seems like I know what she’s trying to do.”

‘Stop it!’

“People say I have good judgement. There have been times when I have been a matchmaker. In my eyes, the Lady and Lord Shuheil would be a really good pair.

‘Shut up!’

The sharp gazes of the duke and the three sons turned to the vassal.

The duke said in a low voice.

“I didn’t know there was such a good matchmaker here.”

“Haha! You are exaggerating. I was just telling you what I saw!”

“Somebody take the eyes of this brilliant matchmaker. Don’t ever talk like that again.”

“…… Huh?”

The duke’s gaze grew cold, and the administrators and servants grabbed him by the arms and dragged him out of the office.

“Your Excellency! I’ll never say what I see again! Your Excellency! Come to think of it, the two of them don’t seem to get along at all!”

The duke tapped the armrest of the sofa.

“Explain. Why does my daughter want to see Shuheil bastard?”

Isaac said with a gloomy expression.

“The reason doesn’t matter. That bastard is going to die today.”

Isaac continued while holding the sword in its scabbard.

“Damn! How dare he seduce the kid?!”

Henry grabbed his shoulder.

“Calm down.”

“Really? Are you really calm?”

“Getting Leblaine’s heart back is the first priority. It will be hard to deal with if the guy gets hurt or dies for no reason.”

Isaac clicked his tongue.

But his brother wasn’t wrong. If Edgar Shuheil suddenly disappeared like this, the first suspect would be them.

‘Dad, brothers I hate you!’

‘Hate.’

‘Hate~!’

Leblaine’s shrill voice came to their mind.

All of a sudden, the four men clenched their fists.

That afternoon, the four men approached Leblaine, who sat on the sofa in the living room and ate an ice cream.

“Kid.”

“Yes?”

“I tried to contact him, and the bast… Edgar says he can’t come to the mansion because he’s busy.”

When he spoke in a voice as gentle as possible, Leblaine said as she put down the spoon.

“Isaac. A brother who does not keep his promises is not a good brother.”

Leblaine stared at him and continued.

“Isn’t Isaac a great older brother?”

“I’m a great brother!”

“Great. Then invite Edgar!”

When Leblaine smiled, Isaac had a sullen expression.
