The Baby Rising A Devil

Chapter 8

Nos mumbled, swallowing his dry saliva.

"Newt is..."

I was appalled by what Nos said about the stone in the jewelry box.

'This is Newt?'

When I turned blue, Nos said with an embarrassed look.

"Sorry, sir.  This was not her fault, but the storage condition was not good. Otherwise, the Newt won't suddenly become a powder."

Nos tried hard to find excuses, but the face of the duke was not resolved.

Holding on to the hem of the skirt, I grabbed the duke's sleeve, shivering.

"Wo,wong....i dwidnt mean to... (Wro,wrong.... i didn't mean to....)"

However, the duke shook my hand and frowned.

A sigh flowed from his lips

"You're bothering me."

My whole body trembled like an aspen tree.

Instead of being favored, I had an accident.

I think I was too scared to say that my life expectancy was getting worse.

In addition, my eyes began to turn round and round, and my view narrowed.

"Don't bother me any more and go back to your room"

"Ugh...."

As soon as I groaned, my body tilted and fell under the chair.

"Little miss!"

In my narrowing field of view, the duke had hardened with his eyes wide open.

Then came the silence.

<Sakhaman space>

In the dark I was looking at the back of Duke of Amity.

My father, who is benevolent, careful and just.

I respected and loved him dearly.

I had to give up many things to live as his daughter, but it was fine.

If only he would laugh with me while calling my name.

But I knew. That there is a wall between us.

The Duke of Amity gave me a room to stay in, taught me the mission of the nobility, and dined together, but only to that extent.

He didn't regard me as his child.

Still, I did my best because I liked him.

I hesitated for a long time and then reached out to him

"Fath-"

"Dad!"

Mina run past me to the Duke of Amity

Somehow Mina embraced his arm without qualms.

When Mina smiled with her eyes folded, the Duke of Amity stroked her head and smiled.

It's okay. It could happen. Mina is really a child of fate.

She's a good girl who brings rain to the drought, and gives hope to the poor and the sick.
If I work harder, my father will look after me, too.

Then the darkness around me shook.

"Stupid!"

A thunderous roar came from the air.

I was appalled at the sight of the hand sticking out of the distorted darkness.

A hand with a ring engraved with Vallua's name soon caught my eye.
