The Baby Raising A Devil
chapter-141

Chapter 141

TL: Zimming

The more I reveal it, the more nervous I feel. Feeling my wet palm, I managed to open my mouth again.

“I starved to death in my last life on the street. So this time…… In this life, I’ve been saving money in case I will be exiled.”

“So that’s why you chose me.”

“Yes…….”

Dad sighed as he continued.

”You’re here on purpose all this time.”

“No!”

I raised my head.

Realizing that I might sound hypocritical, I bit my lips and continued,

“At first, but only until I was 4 years old. After calling out the devil, I revealed everything to the chairman, he pointed out a few things!”

“Call out a devil?”

“It’s something that only happens in this life. The reason I was confirmed as a fake in my last life was because I had little divine power. But after you gave me the newt, my divine power was amplified for some reason.”

I told the story without omitting anything.

I told him about the etwal, devils, also about my people such as the chairman, Seria, Zachary and Trigon.

Dad nodded hearing me.

“What is it that that chairman pointed out?”

“…as time goes by, I want to run away from my family, not my destiny.”

“…….”

“I was afraid that you would hate me like Duke Amity or Duke Vallua. If my dad, brothers, and people in Dubbled hate me, I won’t be able to endure like my past life, so I’m so scared…….”

My dad looked at me as I was mumbling with tears on my eyes,

My voice gradually became weaker as I cried, but my dad kept listening to my ramblings.

At the end of my story, he reached out to me,and rubbed my wet face with his palm.

“D, don’t hate me…….”

“If I hated you for hiding something, I’d have sent you out in the first place. Blaine, I already guessed that there was something special about you a long time ago. And that’s…….”

“Because I’m hiding something?”

Dad smiled awkwardly and hugged me.

“No,I felt like one day, I will give my heart to you.”

Her tears that barely stopped started again, dad stuck his forehead to mine and whispered.

“I was angry because I am your father, even though I knew you had made up poison.”

His voice somehow felt even warmer today.

I hugged my dad tightly.

“You look ugly.”

My dad said playfully and slightly pinched my cheek.

Even though he didn’t say much, I knew he tried his best to convey his feelings, and that’s enough.

“You look ugly.”

What I heard a long time ago came to mind.

He had already loved me for a long time.

I finally realized that after hearing him talk. Now, I didn’t need gold, silver, luxurious mansions or a nice meal,

“D, dad… I don’t want my dad to get hurt.”

“Yes.”

“F, for my sake. I don’t want you to do something dangerous.”

“……yes.”

“I want to be your daughter forever!”

While embracing me, my father said yes again.

Theodore looked for a long time at Leblaine, who was asleep like a cat.

“Don’t give birth.”

“Don’t give birth to our baby? Theodore!”

“I don’t have the confidence to love my child. Also, they will suffer like me when they are born as my child. I know from my experience as a Dubbled.”

“Oh my god, Theodore. Now that I see it, you’re a coward.”

“I…!”

“You’re afraid that this kid will be like you, and you will do what your father did to them? Are you worried that they’ll fight each other?”

It reminded him of himself in the past, who said cold-hearted words to Lisette, who was pregnant with Johann.

The strong woman, standing with her arms crossed, smiled helplessly, with her hands on her stomach.

“Parents are not the only ones raising children. Children also raise their parents. I’ll let you know how sweet it feels.”

“…….”

“There’s gonna be a moment when they’re gonna make you grow up.”

She was always right, and it was the same this time.

He did not raise Leblaine, she raised him. It gave him a very good feeling.

“Pwease be my dad.”

When he stroked the child’s head, her soft hair scattered through the cracks of his hands.

Then he heard a knock. His three sons were looking at him in front of the open door.

The brothers, who were watching the child asleep with a smile, settled on the sofa opposite her. Johann asked.

“What are you going to do now?”

“Are you asking me how to deal with those who are after this child?”

Henry smiled and shrugged.

“No way. They are not foolish enough to offend us. What we are curious about is the independence Leblaine mentioned.”

Isaac said, supporting the back of his head with his hands.

“Let’s do it together. It’s a good thing for us as well. What to do when the real child of fate or something comes and she’ll be in danger?”

Henry, who frowned, covered Leblaine with a blanket and opened his mouth.

“If that had been easy, we would have become independent right away. Even our ancestors are longing for it but it hasn’t been achieved yet.”

Theodore, who was listening quietly to his sons, said.

“Yes, it’s not something that can be done in a short period of time.”

“Yes, at least 20 years…”

“10 years.”

Theodore’s eyes shone sharply in the darkness.

“Before the real child of fate comes, we have to become independent.”

“It would be hard with all the interference.”

“Parents would do anything for their child.”

“Look at that, brothers. I told you didn’t I? Father is weak against the kid-”

“Aren’t you my children too?”

The brothers, with their eyes wide open, looked at Theodore who looked at them with an affectionate expression.

“Huh?”

“You’re my children too.”

He also guessed that his sons were also struggling in their own way.

Johann’s appearance resembles his, but his personality resembles Risette more.

He wasn’t a guy who would do cruel and harsh things like the previous ancestors. That’s why he suffered even more as the oldest child.

He couldn’t show that he was sick even if he was hurt, and he always worked hard.

On the contrary, Henry and Isaac are different because they are not the eldest sons.

In terms of talent alone, they are better than anyone else, but there is no opportunity to demonstrate their ability.

For example, Javelin was no less than them in terms of talent, eventually failed to take part in politics and lived with subsidies from the main family.

Had she not replaced the hostess title which had been vacant, she would have had to live like a doll in the estate.

Dubbled’s second and third sons were in a position where they could not come to the front because of their excellent abilities.

“If Dubbled becomes independent, you’ll have your own duties.”

“…….”

“…….”

Henry and Isaac clenched their fists.

Henry, who had a stronger desire than any of his brothers, but understood his position well, bowed his head.

Isaac grinned.

“Ah, then I will play and eat freely until then!”

“…….”

“Right, brother? What? Are you crying?”

“You idiot…Who’s crying?”

Johann smiled seeing his quarreling brothers.

“My father…is different from other fathers.”

“What about the other father?”

“Other fathers love their children.”

“Johann, it’s actually very difficult to be a parent upon birth.”

“But…….”

“A child will grow up alongside their parents.”

Did father know that Leblaine made him grow up as a father? That little kid has raised the most selfish, ferocious villain as a father.

Johann smiled the whole time seeing them.
