Chapter 124

TL: Zimming

I got out of Adrian’s arms because I thought Hayton wouldn’t let me go at this rate.

When I looked at him, Hayton rubbed the corners of his mouth a little. That’s a habit that Hayton sees when he’s happy, I know that because I lived with him in my second life.

‘What is he so happy about? Did he become crazy?’

Did he eat something wrong?

“If you’re tired, take a break in the next room.–”

“One, I don’t tolerate any nonsense.”

“What?”

“Two, I’m Lady Dubbled. Speak with manners.”

“What are you talking about…”

“Three.”

I kicked Hayton’s calf.

“If I find you annoying, I’ll kick you again!”

Ouch! Hayton shouted and grabbed my leg with a surprised expression.

“You, you…!”

“If you want to get your living expenses right until you’re 18, remember that.”

“But we already signed the contract!”

“I could terminate it anytime.”

Hayton shouted, “You’re mean!”, but I shrugged casually.

That’s why you have to look closely at the contract.

I looked at Adrian,

“Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

His smile seemed somehow pleasing so I smiled unconsciously.

Adrian walked me home. He said he would walked me to my room, but I had an ominous premonition that this cute puppy would be bitten by the predators when I came into the house.

“I’m fine, so go back.”

“…….”

“Go back and get some rest, okay?”

“……okay.”

Adrian was watching me outside the door until I entered the mansion.

When I returned to the mansion, my family was waiting for me. When I saw my family members who were standing in line and frowning, I flinched and gently put my hands together.

“I’m sorry.”

When I apologized, my aunt stared at me.

“It’s not your fault. It’s the fault of an adult who let kids follow the Imperial Knight without escort.”

“Because I insisted that I want to go…….”

“An adult who listens to anything just because a child is crying is not eligible for childcare.”

The chairman lowered his head.

“I’m sorry.”

“Let’s talk privately later. Leblaine…….”

My aunt stared at me, then bent one of her knees.

“Look at how many people who were worried about you.”

I looked around and saw my three maids and servants, my dad and brothers sighed.

“……I’m sorry.”

“I’m not saying it’s bad for you to decide alone. But you need to discuss this with your family. It’s dangerous, the sinner might do something to you.”

“Yes…….”

“If you get hurt, we’ll be sad.”

“Auntie, too?”

“Of course.”

My aunt continued as she tidied up my slightly tangled hair behind my ears.

“I would have wished that I was the one hurt instead.”

My aunt opened her arms as I walked to hug her.

‘I think she’s going to forgive me!’

My face brightened up as I fell into her arms.

“Thank you for coming back without getting hurt.”

“Yes!”

‘I like my aunt’s scent.’

I smiled and rubbed my face against her cheek, as she kindly swept my back.

It was the chairman who got in big trouble on my behalf. The chairman had an unfair look in his face, as I was in my aunt’s arms, I secretly said, ‘Chairman, you’re cool! the best! you’re dazzling!’ and begged for his forgiveness.

My father was responsible for the Duke of Vallua case.

My father is a heartless man for others, I’m sure he’ll beat the Duke of Vallua to death.

It was the perfect ending.

After a few days, the Duke’s trial was confirmed.

***

After locking the door, I sat in front of the table and grabbed the etwal. With a faint light, the devil sat on the chair opposite me.

[You finally called me again.]

Perhaps it was because I used him as an errand boy so far, the devil’s expression was very displeased.

“Tell me your wish.”

[Finally you’re thinking of granting my wish.]

“Do you still have the time to be sarcastic?”

It’s been 15 days since I stopped the devil’s attack, but my divine power was still hovering around at the bottom.

I summoned the devil with a lot of power, so if it weren’t for Adrian, I might have gone crazy because of my lack of divine power.

Ck, the devil clucked his tongue and said,

[My wish is grudge.]

“Grudge?”

[A strong desire and the resentment of those who have fallen for failure to achieve their goals. I want such resentment.]

Unlike Boone and Pymon, it was amazing because it was really how a devil’s wish should be.

‘That’s why he showed up at the summons using the sacrifice.’

Apparently, there are more than 100 “offers” that Duke Vallua had used to summon the devil, but it is great that they are still lacking.

‘Is he asking me to use human as a sacrifice?’

I don’t want to harm people and grant the wish of the devil. I asked him,

“Then what can you do?”

[Assasination.]

“I don’t need it.”

[I can make you understand science deeper than anyone else. Astrophysics, magic, science, in all respects.]

“No way!”

The devil’s face was distorted when I was shocked.

[What do you think I am?]

“No, what…….”

[For nearly a thousand years, the family of scholars who granted me my wishes has become the most honorable family.]

A scholar over a thousand years ago?

At that moment, I felt that something was clicking.

“Isn’t that…Vallua’s family?”

[It looks like your head is not useless.]

I laughed.

‘That’s why the Duke of Vallua knew about this devil. Because it was the devil that his ancestor called out!’

He was obsessed with honor for generations and he even summoned the devil to continue his family’s legacy.

In fact, their honor was an empty shell.

“It’s amazing…….”

[Would you like to make the same wish as the man a thousand years ago?]

“No, I don’t need anything like honor. Anything else?”

[Transparency. You can go through everything without getting caught in any barriers.]

This is it.

‘If that’s the case, I could fulfill the devil’s wish at the same time.’

“Okay. I’ll take it. But, give me that in advance.”

[You’re ridiculous. The use of this ability is only after my wish has been granted.…!]

“Other devils would have done that. Boone and Pymon only gave me their power after I granted their wish as well, but you’re different.”

[What?]

“You get sacrifices for more than a hundred human, I know you’re already full of energy. You’re different from Boone and Pymon.”

That’s why it was easy to maintain this devil, unlike before.

As I grinned, the devil shouted angrily.

[You are more cunning and evil than a devil!]

“Thank you for the compliment.Then let’s go, I’ll make your wish come true as well.”

As I raised myself, I suddenly remember something and turned my head towards him.

“But you, what’s your name?”

[How come you don’t know!]

The devil mumbled, “I’ve been acting like an errand boy without her knowing my name.”

His name was ‘Glashalabolas’. At least I knew it before he returned.

***

Three hours before the trial, the Duke of Vallua shouted inside the prison.

“Call him…… Call him… I’m not going to die like this……!!”

There was no one to listen to his cry.

It was silent inside, he couldn’t even hear people breathing. The fear that he might really die shook his whole body.

‘Oh my god!’

This was all because of the girl.

Leblaine Dubbled.

The girl who looks like Risette!

He will take her eyes away, tear her mouth and throw her away in front of Theodore Dubbled.

The Duke of Vallua, whose hands clasped the bars, shouted.

“Let me see him!”

“Who?”

The Duke of Vallua looked around in disdain at the familiar voice.

But he didn’t see anyone.

‘Hallucination?’

“I asked you who he is.”

“……!”

The Duke went stiff.

‘This voice must be…….’

When he thought so, someone soon appeared outside the cage.

“You, how could you…!”

It was the child of fate. The girl came close to the cage with a smile.

“How did you get here? This is…!”

“I can’t come because there are 14 barriers?”

The child smiled and soon a familiar man appeared next to him.

A man with wings and fangs. That was definitely the angel he called, judging from the pressure and creepy presence.

“Angel!”

The Duke, whose face brightened at once, desperately crawled out of the cage.

“You came again for me!”

“…….”

“Please kill her. She’s such a wretched girl.… Argh!”

As the devil’s eyes narrowed, the duke’s arm twisted in an instant.

“Answew quickly what the child awsk.”

(Answer quickly what this child asks.)

“Wh, what?”

“Answew her. (Answer her.)”

“Agh—!!”

The Duke of Vallua fell down as if his shoulders had fallen off.

Leblaine nodded satisfactorily and asked.

“Let’s finish this now. If you’re going to die anyway, the faster the better. Isn’t it?”

“You, you…!”

“Okay, first. Did you kill all the people in the house of hope?”

The Duke opened his mouth in disbelief.

‘How could she……!’

When he didn’t answer, Leblaine looked at the devil.

“Agh—!”

His fingers are twisted this time.

“I, I don’t know. It is true that I bought the children and the elderly from the house of hope, but since I bought quite a few humans from other places as well, I don’t know their current situation…!”

“Where are the rest of the people?”

“…….”

“Where are they!”

“……I’ve ‘stored’ them in the hut of Geranium.”

Leblaine communicated to Seria in a hurry and told her where the people were.

After talking on the communication device, Leblaine opened her mouth again.

“Why did you make the fake fourth child?”

“…….”

“Dad’s daughter. The reason why you made the fourth child and hurt my family’s heart.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Leblaine raised his eyebrows and looked at the Duke.

“Do you want me to twist your neck?”

“You want me to say it?”

“…what?.

The Duke of Vallua opened his lips in cold sweat.

“Do you want me to tell you something that will scare you if you knew?”

“……what do you mean.”

The duke raised his lips.

“Theodore’s daughter was born. She’s growing well so far.”

“What?”

“That child right now…….”
