The Baby Rising A Devil

Chapter 9

"......."

"......."

There was silence in the bathroom, but I was no longer afraid of the Duke. Is it because this great man is sitting with his knees bent in front of a child and washing her feet?

Soon we left the bathroom. When the door opened, Lea, who was anxiously waiting in front of the bathroom, ran quickly.The Duke handed me over to Lea and said,

"Go and apply some medicine."

"Yes?"

"Medicine."

"Oh, yes, medicine!"

Lea and her maids, who were in a state of panic, walked down the hall. It was almost as fast as running. The maids who came into the room collapsed panting. Lea whispered little by little, while drying my wet hair. 
"It's all right, child."

"......."

"Nobody's mad at you"

"......."

"It's all right, it's all right."

Her voice was so sweet that I could only tear up.

***

I spent a few days in suspense after that. But the Duke really didn't scold me.He didn't tell the empress about the Newt, nor did he send me back to the capital. There was not even an expression of anger. In addition. 'He didn't throw away the flower I picked.'

It was not a carefully grown flower, but a single wild flower bloomed accidentally, laying on the grass in the garden. But the wild flowers were in the vase of Duke Dubbled's office. When I saw a wild flower with a bunch of fluffy flowers in a super luxurious vase, I was touched. 'What are you thinking?'

If it were someone else, not the Duke, you must have thought about not throwing away the flower that a child plucked in the middle of the night. 'But you're the duke of Dubbled, aren't you?' The Theodore Dubbled, who slaughtered innocent people.He's been a little soft on me since that day.

'This is so delicious!' The chicken dish cooked with sweet sauce after mixing the chicken with various spices was really delicious. The meat is soft and the sauce is sweet and salty.

"......."

What's wrong with him? 'Do you want to eat it?'. I slipped my arm over the plate for fear that i might lose my precious chicken leg. Then the duke's eyebrows wriggled.
'That's so mean, so mean.' You're eating all those big lamb steaks by yourself, but you're even going after children's food. I was really grateful that he let the Newt case slide. Newt was a precious treasure.  When it was in the hands of the emperor, the pope visited the Imperial Palace and asked for it to be kept in the church. Not only precious for its historical values, but also its use was endless.

For a long time I decided to alternate chicken legs and duke.  I bit my lips tightly and I broke the chicken leg I stretch out my hand

"I'll gwive it to you (i'll give it to you.)"

He narrowed his eyebrows as he watched me waggling chicken legs with a sad face.

"What....."

A short laugh came from his teeth.

"I want to open to see what's in your head."

Are you really going to open my head? I clenched my head with both hands in fright.

"Owpen it and ywo die! (Open it and you die!)"

Then came the sound of laughing by the door. It was Nos that was carrying papers. He coughed in vain as the duke's gaze turned to me.
