The Baby Rising A Devil

Chapter 29

Yuni put the paper and pencils on the table.

"Are you working on your homework?"

Oh, that's right. I had come here under the pretext of doing my homework.

While trying to grab the pencil, I found a scar on Yuni's hand.

"Yuni, huwt." (Yuni, you're hurt)

"Ah, I got cut because I was careless. It's nothing, so don't worry about it."

Then Seria came to us.

"I have the medicine."

"It's all right......"

"An employee's body is also an asset. We need to take care of it well."

Seria applied medicine on her hand,  as Yuni replied with a slightly embarrassed face,

"Thank you..."

"Don't mention it."

Coming out of the room after finishing my homework, I went to the Duke's office.

'Now that I know who the wanted criminal is, I need to find the evidence to get that bounty.'

To do that, I have to keep the wanted criminal next to me. I thought of making the convict as my teacher under the pretext of wanting a full-fledged lesson.

I knocked and entered while the Duke was talking to one of his vassals. There was a huge box on the Duke's desk.

'What's inside.....?'

'Etwal!'

It was the holy object that made Mina exert her power.

But that one was different from Mina's. Mina's etwal was platinum, but this was all gold. And the corners of the hexagonal center didn't have jewels attached to them.

'That's it. The second Etwal.'

The one that Turva wanted to get his hands on by swindling the Duke of Dubbled.

'How did they get their hands on it already?'

I've heard about the war, but it couldn't have ended this fast. Suddenly, the vassal said to the duke.

"The citizens of that continent  were suffering from tyranny so much that they directly opened the gates for our troops. Thanks to that, the trip was faster."

"Did you send this news to the Emperor?"

"Of course, he said he was most pleased with this year's gift, and that he would send an edict to honor you."

"What a pain in the neck."

Viscount Dubos looked at me.

"This is all thanks to you. If you didn't recognize the con artist, how could we have known about the existence of the second Etwal?"

The vassals laughed. I felt good too.

The Duke of Vallua must have had a heart attack. He had put a lot of effort into this year's gift. He had even borrowed money from his in-laws. In my previous life, because of the gift, he bought the Emperor's favor and acquired the tea leaf trade that he had been aiming for.

He is going all out, but if he fails this time, he will suffer from debt.

'Well, that's not my problem.'

What's urgent now is my money, not their money. Now that I've found the wanted criminal,

'I have to catch him myself.'
