The Baby Raising A Devil

“Yes.”

I gently soothed as the child smile widely.

“Let’s go, now, cwome on, fwaster,”

I went after Isaac who was running.

Roman stamped the trade document with an excited face.

In addition to the land being near an active volcano, the thick roots of the Elsa trees were also entangled in the ground.
Thankfully, the troublesome land was sold.

“But why are you buying this land?”

Roman asked.

“The paperwork is finished.
I’ll go back.”

Roman’s lieutenant, who was waiting in front of the door, approached him after the chairman left.

“Did the chairman really buy the land? What is it for?”

“That is not a land that can be used as an agricultural land because of the location, even if all the trees of Elsa are pulled out.
He did not tell me why.
But…”

“Isn’t it obvious that he bought the useless land at a good price?”

“Pardon?”

“I’m sure it means he’ll trust and use me.”

He didn’t express it, but there was no other reason.

“Doesn’t the chairman keep me close to him than the other vassals? Tha chairman will like the plan I made for him.”

The scheme to kidnap the child of fate, hand it over to a slaving trade, and inform the church so that they can get their hands on her.

It was a brilliant scheme, as it would strengthen the church and its ties, and would allow them to carry Spinel into their hands for a powerful military force.

‘After the chairman had retired, he’ll hand over the chairmanship to me….’

I will command the world with Dubbled under my feet.

“Go and call mages who were easy to be bribed.”

“Why are you looking for them?”

“I’ll help the chairman.”

He smiled and the lieutenant looked at him in wonder.

A letter came to me.
The maids delivered a letter with happy faces saying that it is my acquaintance.

Although the content was a normal greeting, it was completely different when I read vertically the first letter.

[I’m safe.]

It’s Seria.

She had made a successful deal with the church and had left the prison.

‘Okay, then we’ll have a hand and foot in the system.’

If the chairman buys the land and distributes the spinel through Seria.

‘How much money will I have?’

While I was calculating, I was ecstatic to think of the countless feast of zeros.

‘I’m going to buy a really big house because I’m going to defect later.’

I’ll get a good cook and ask them to do French toast every day.

[Twis is Sese.
A kwid in the garden give me a blue stwone.
Then Bwaine, buy sometwing delicious and eat it.
Bye]

Deliberately speaking like a child, the maids grabbed both cheeks and said

“Our little miss’s friend is too cute~”

“Did she gives you a pretty blue stone?”

“Yes, yes.
Buy a lot of delicious foods with it~”

I was a little nervous, but skillfully hid it.

“Let’s swend a letter back.
Huwwy!”

The smart Seria would understand this much.

Lea, who wrote the letter, smiled and sealed it well.

“I’ll take it to the post office.”

“I’ll bring a fairytale book to read after I came back.”

”Little miss, it’s time for a snack.”

“It’s chilly, so I’ll have to bring some firewood.”

The maids got up to work one by one.

“I’ll be right back, so hang on,”

They said so as I waved to the departing maids.
Then I crept to find the elephant bag and took out a sketchbook.

I pointed out the picture I had drawn in advance the other day.

Scissors on a yellow circle with gold coins.

‘I got the money.’

Scissor marks on the yellow-coloured circle that depicts a person.

‘I saved a man.’

Only

Then what’s left…

It was when I was about to turn it over to the next page.

My heart was pounding and I felt dizzy.
I felt something was pushing me hard.

Soon, something like a black tentacle appeared under my feet.

‘Magic!’

I jumped down the other side to avoid it quickly.
I ran quickly to the door, but just before I caught the doorknob, tree trunks came out of the ground and engulfed my body.

“Who…!”

When even my eyes were covered by the black tentacles, my mind went blank.
