The Baby Raising A Devil

Chapter 291

TL: Zimmings

Isaac’s knock became more and more violent.

Knock! Knock!

“Open the door. I’m not in a good mood.”

Why is he like that…

I was flustered. After burying Adrian in a blanket, I came back to my senses and quickly hid him in the dressing room instead.

Then I shouted outside the room.

“I need to get ready to meet the Duke of Amity.”

“Get ready. I’ll be watching.”

I’ve got a problem.

Adrian is going to die!

I closed my eyes tightly and shouted, trying to reassure myself that everything will work out.

“What do I have to do with your bad mood!”

“Kid, how could you say such a thing… I don’t remember raising you to be so heartless!”

“When did Isaac raise me? I raised Isaac!”

“You’re my younger sister so I raised you! Right? I’m a grown-up, and you’re…!”

“I’m mature! Isaac, you didn’t even eat carrots!”

He became quiet as if he were shocked.

In the meantime, I rushed into the dressing room and told Adrian.

“Can you jump off the terrace?”

“…….”

“You can’t do it because you’re not feeling well? What should I do? My room is surrounded by a strong barrier, so we can’t use teleportation.”

That’s why I also secretly brought him from the back door. Right now, I have issued an emergency warning, so the security must have become stricter.

Originally, I tried to hide Adrian in a carrige under the pretext of going to see the Duke of Amity.

Adrian laughed when I panicked.

“I can jump.”

“Really? Then as soon as you jump off the terrace, go towards the blue roof. It’s a separate house, but the barrier is weak there. You have to use teleportation there.”

“Yes.”

“Also, Adrian…”

“Say it.”

“I want to show you something…….”

I touched the etwal and looked up to him.

‘I have to let him meet Gremory.’

Adrian shook his head.

“I know what you mean, but later.”

“But…….”

“You don’t have the strength to call out the devil again today.”

“……I need to show you Gremory as soon as possible.”

“I know.”

I put the etwal in my pocket, disappointed. Then I ran to the terrace and looked down.

‘Good, nobody’s here.’

“Right now.”

As I said that, Adrian swooped down to the terrace.

From outside the room, I heard Isaac’s voice again.

“It’s not that I couldn’t eat carrots, I didn’t want to eat them! I didn’t do it because it tasted bad!”

“That means you can’t eat it.”

“Oh, it’s not like that.”

I was looking at Adrian while talking to Isaac. He smiled and said, “Go in.”

I shook my hand to tell him to go quickly, but Adrian didn’t move, he urged me to enter first.

I had no choice but to close the terrace window. However, he saw me for a long time and finally went back.

‘Ugh, it tickles.’

My chest felt tickly.

It felt very strange.

I sighed and opened the door.

“Why, did you miss my room so much?”

As soon as I opened the door, Isaac came into my room and looked inside.

“… None.”

I squinted and glanced at him.

“Did you think I was hiding someone?”

When I shamelessly lied, Isaac groaned.

“I thought someone was hiding.”

“What?”

“A blonde rat.”

I was startled.

‘How did he know.’

Adrian was thoroughly hidden and brought in. Laura, a crime professional, and the three maids defended the room with iron defense.

I said as if nothing had happened.

“Are you talking about Adrian? He’s in the Imperial Palace. Why would he be here?”

“… I’m glad to hear that.”

Isaac, who still looked at the room suspiciously, soon grabbed my shoulder.

“Listen up, kid.”

“Yes?”

“You should never trust a two-faced man, a man who talks casually about cheesy things. They’re all flirtatious, people like that.”

“Do you want me to meet an ugly guy?”

“Are you crazy? Of course, you should have the most handsome guy in the world.”

“Then do you want to meet a fierce man who can’t say sweet things?”

“Just bring that guy with you. I’m going to twist his neck and pull him out.”

“Then, I can’t meet any other guy?”

When I looked at him with my eyes saying, ‘You told me not to meet anyone who is handsome and good at talking.’ Isaac remained silent for a moment.

He rolled his eyes as if he were organizing his thoughts and said.

“I was wrong. I just know a guy who is two-faced and is good at talking.”

“Then it’s just Adrian.”

“It’s not the only condition.”

He began to list conditions for my groom with a serious face.

“It’s fundamental to say handsome and cheesy things well. But he needs to have the ability and wealth. He shouldn’t starve you.”

“…….”

“And he need to have a good body too. Of course, if you don’t want to give birth, you can exclude this condition…… No, I can’t exclude it. A man who can protect you should be reliable. Also, he needs to be knowledgeable so that your conversation can be enjoyable. Being humorous is a must have for that. And….”

After hearing the conditions up to 58, I looked at Isaac with a tired look.

“Isaac…”

“The 59th condition… huh?”

“Just tell me not to marry.”

“You can’t do it. Don’t give up.”

He declared very solemnly.

“Even if I have to search the whole world, I will find him.”

“But what if the guy you found says he doesn’t want to marry me?”

Isaac sighed and snorted.

“That can’t be true. There’s no man in the world who doesn’t want to marry you.”

He said that as if even a roadside ant wants to marry me, so I took a few steps away from him.

“Don’t say that anywhere else. Promise me?”

“Why?”

“I’m afraid people won’t only curse at Isaac, but even at me.”

After saying that, I shook my head and left the room.

“You’re going to the Duke of Amity?”

“I’m tired. I want to go see Mina first.”

“Won’t you be more tired?”

“Right now, Isaac is what makes me most tired.”

“Is that a lie? As for your husband’s condition earlier, the 59th condition is that his feet should not smell.”

“Please stop…….”

Me and Isaac quarreled down the stairs.

When I went down to the first floor, I heard a scream from the basement.

It’s weak, but it’s definitely a scream. Benedict’s scream was clear.

I don’t know what kind thing Nos is doing, but it must have worked. Seeing that I can even hear it from the torture room deep underground to the first floor.

I looked at the place where the scream came from and then took a step.

Underground prison.

Only the dim lights illuminated the surroundings, the prison also gave off a musty smell.

I saw Mina curled up inside the iron cage. I squatted in front of her cage.

“… What are you trying to do with me?”

“That’s what I want to ask you. What were you going to do with me?”

Mina glared sharply at me.

“Stop here, Leblaine. So that I can forgive you for. Please don’t cross the line.”

I chuckled.

“What happens if you forgive me? Will this war be over?”

“We can finish it. If we work together.”

“How?”

“Let’s work together to mediate the war between Dubblede and the temple. Then there will definitely be a breakthrough.”

“So what happens after that?”

“…….”

“After that, I’ll have to die eventually. Because you and the temple can’t give up sealing the evil God. Isn’t it?

Mina’s expression turned sad.

“That’s… that’s…”

“Then let’s do this.”

“……What?”

“No matter how much I think about it, it feel so unfair to die alone. So if you die, I’ll die too. What do you think? It’s fairness that you like.”

“Leblaine, you…”

“If you die, I’ll be a sacrifice too. Then Dubblede and the temple don’t have to fight anymore.”

“…….”

“Peace will come. The peace you’ve been hoping for so much…”

“Do you remember what you said last time? That you were willing to die if you were in my shoes.”

I clapped my hands and laughed like a child.

“Now, it’s your time to choose.”

“…….”

“Why? Why aren’t you answering? Huh? You said you were willing to die for the country and for peace.”

“I, I…”

I changed my expression in an instant and stared fiercely at her.

“You can’t?”

“…….”

“Scary, huh? Your life is precious? It’s much more unfair and painful than you think to die for others, right?!”

“…….”

Mina’s expression froze. She looked at me with a stiff face, and I said after biting the soft flesh in my mouth.

“You don’t know even if you come all the way here? There is no justice in this war.”

“No, I… I… for the sake of this world…”

She bowed her head. Tears fell on the cold floor.

“Hypocrite.”

Her shoulders flinched.

“A liar.”

Her slender shoulders shook as she moved her hands to her face.

“I hate people like you the most. Yes, I know my previous life. You were loved, and I was trapped in a cage.”

She jerked and looked up.

“As expected, you stole what’s mine?”

“Yes. I took it all away. As you said, I’m a villain. How do you feel, Mina?”

Mina bit her lips. Red blood flowed down from her dry lips.

Mina then let out a scream.

“Bad girl. You mean… Terrible girl! I hate you!”

“Me too. I hate you, you hypocrite.”

“Yes! I’m a hypocrite! I wanted you to die. So I did what the temple told me to do! But this is all because of you! To get rid of a bad girl like you……!”

“Good. Cut.”

Mina’s eyes widened, and the light in the basement was brightly lit.

The gate keepers were holding something around the prison.

Mina murmured.

“Video stone…?”
