The Baby Raising A Devil

I hid under the walls of the orphanage and watched as I was found by a young caregiver.

The caregivers, who had seen the furrows, shouted, holding me in their arms.

"Principal, you're a freshman!"

"Oh, my God, what's wrong with the baby? Acetal, go and get some hot water."

"Yes, yes……!"

Two young, middle-aged women and a young man rushed into the building.

I turned my head, looking without a glance at the back until they were gone.

Adrian was looking at me with his sunken eyes.

"……."

He didn't say anything. It was a silence that felt more comforting than a few words.

I laughed and shouted because I didn't say it was okay.

"Let's go back now. Oh, but how do I get there?"

It wasn't my intention to come here, so we couldn't go back to our own accord.

I groaned and pondered with a jaw.

"The jewel the Cardinal had was the mediator of his return to the past, so we need to find it. Oh, but now I'm just a kid with no ointment and where do I find it....."

"I know."

"Huh?"

"I know how to get back."

Adrian, who said that, took something out of his arms.

It was a little jewel and a letter in a cork.

"How did you....."

"Because your mother gave it to me."

"What?"

"He knew everything."

I look at Adrian, hardened to the ground.

When my mother sent me away, I remembered whispering to Adrian Moora.

He handed me jewels and letters. When I opened the letter with my trembling hands, it was written with a shriek. It's a handwriting I saw one day in my aunt's room.

[By the time you read this article, we would have said goodbye.

Sweetie, my dear baby. Don't be too sad, even if you say good-bye. I'm a very lucky man because I have no regrets in my life.

What should I tell you first? I want to start by saying that the purpose of life has been set by the Temple since I was a child.

I was a pretty unhappy kid when I was a kid, sold to my parents for 40 francs and lived in a prison called Temple. Only a glorious, loving child could see in a dream if there was joy then.

A child with sweet curly hair was always energetic, sweet and vicious. There was no one who shared his heart who didn't love him. Some old man I know so well called her baby.]

It's me. This was my story.

'The old man is the Chairman.'

[I have loved a child who has no law to stop at any hardship since I was very young. So how happy I was when I realized he was my son.]

I decided not to cry now, but I kept getting wet and tears fell on my precious letter.

[Thanks to the dream child, I was able to be brave, and I left the temple and found my life.

And my hand, which was leaving the temple, had a bronze pendant like the one on the child's neck.]

What did you say?

A bronze pendant kept in the temple.....

'Etwal.'

[There were six friends there. The kind deer that sent you here and the lovely deer that will one day be with you.]

Fur.....

[My friends have helped me a lot. They gave me a family, a lifelong lover, and I was able to give birth to you and your brothers.

But I knew. The reason my friends help me is because the true owner is helping me for some reason.

And only today do I know who they really are.

Baby, you saved my life from the beginning to the end.]

The letter led to the next chapter. However, the last time I read "The Most Important Word", the post was cut off.

[...] So please. Protect them on my behalf.

Baby, when are you coming by my side? [I want to know your name]

Seeing that the handwriting of the letter was dirtier than the one I saw the day before, my mother wrote this while avoiding the temple attack.

How did she feel when she wrote a letter knowing she was running to the end of her nervous life?

'You're wrong.'

I didn't save her, she saved me.

I took a letter and hid and cried for a while.

"LeBlaine……."

"Me, I didn't do anything at all."

Adrian hugs me quietly after bruising her face.

"That's not true. Obviously something's changed."

"But……."

"Believe me, LeBlaine."

Adrian looks at me, Zigsy.

I stare at his eyes with a strong glow, biting my lips and rubbing my eyes with the palm of my hand.

"Don't cry... last time... last time. I won't cry when I go back, so..."

"Yes."

Sniffs, snorts and squeezes the jewel.

"Let's go back."

"That jewel was the ore of the Devil's Passage. Maybe it was the devil who sent us to this time."

Adrian seems to have finished his guess of the situation with what he witnessed and what he heard from his mother.

"If you have the passage of the devil who made an error in time, you will be able to go back. Return to the original time."

"Yes."

"I guess we'll go to the time we came here. You should be careful if you can face the Cardinal."

When I nodded, Adrian confronted my forehead like a little girl did to me.

I felt the warmth of my body and the divine power that was climbing the floor.

"... Adrian?"

I became anxious.

Why are you paying attention to the Cardinal and handing me the sacred power?

It's like you're going to spend it alone.

It was then.

Bang!!

The ground shakes roughly, and a small, black sphere pushes around me.

The surroundings became chaotic.

"Earthquake? Earthquake?!"

"Argh!"

I quickly reached out to Adrian.

"Come on, get him!"

But Adrian took a few steps away from me.

"I still have work to do."

The sphere wraps around me like a wool, and the light begins to spread in it. The body was getting richer.

Adrian smiled.

"Go back carefully."

"Adrian!!"

His eyes were shattered.

And when I opened my eyes.....

* * *

I hurriedly looked around.

Not in the cardinal's room.

The box containing the jewels was open, and I heard the jewels Adrian had given me in my hand and the jewels I had taken out of the box before I left for the past.

There was no Adrian.

'You idiot..!'

What do you want to do there?

I quickly breathed divine power into the jewels.

'Send me back to the past, please!'

We need to get Adrian. The path of the devil is in my hands, both in the past and in the future. If this happens, Adrian may not be able to return.

By the way.

"The Emperor... must make you Emperor...... Is there any news yet?"

I heard a man's voice from afar.

'The Cardinal is back.'

If we know the Cardinal's jewel is missing, we will try to search the temple for the culprit. If I find out that I wasn't there at that time, I may have to wage an all-out war with the temple.

'Not yet. The war is over here when we're ready.'

Above all, both jewels became turbid. Like a passageway after I sent the demon back.

'It's no longer the Devil's Passage.'

Since I don't need such a jewel, I hurriedly returned the jewel in the box and escaped through the secret passage.

I hurriedly returned to my home, breathing heavily.

"Baby?"

"…… Cecilia."

"Oh, my God, baby. Why are you sweating...!"

I quickly grabbed her hand.

"Adrian. Have you heard from Adrian?"

"You know what?"

"Did Adrian become an adult?!"

If you hadn't come back from the past, you'd have to live like that, so you'd be an adult now.

"What do you mean..... No, His Majesty ordered me to go to the border this morning."

"Border?"

"Yes. Maybe you're leaving by now? Now that I hear it, I think I'm going to give the border forces to the second prince to fight the first prince...."

Adrian came to me today to tell me this story.

'Then I got time to get to the border. Before that, we have to find a way to bring Adrian....'

Something caught my eye while I was thinking about it.

There was a book that wasn't on the table when I left the house.

"…… what is that?"

"I was out for a while, so I left. Isn't it your baby's?"

I hurriedly opened the book.

'It's not mine.'

This was a journal.

So it's my diary in the Emperor's Book.

Adrian.

Adrian is the only one who knows that I entered the Emperor's office.

His amand can detect residual Mana, so he's got tons of Mana in my journal, so I know I've been looking at this.

The strange thing was that the contents of the journal were different from those seen in the Emperor's Letter.

[After a month, the child neither weeps nor laughs. At the meeting it was decided to give up the child. It's a pity.]

None of the abductions.

'What the hell happened.....'

But it was then.

The writing on the journal is erased and a new one begins to appear.

[The child disappears and returns. The returned child cries and laughs plainly.]

[There was a swallow on the child's head.]

[I heard someone's shadow grows outside the window at 2: 00 in the afternoon. I secretly waited to catch the culprit, and what appeared was a beautiful blonde boy. The boy goes back after a very generous smile after he strokes his child's head.]

It was Adrian who kidnapped me and sent me back.

You didn't come back to protect me?

After I accidentally dropped the book, I found a mark erased once on my birthday on the back cover.

It appeared that Ajumiboot wrote "January 7th," and it added "February 29th."

At that moment, I realized what was left of Adrian.

"You fool, you idiot. Something like that..!"

"Baby?"

The day I let my little one go, January 7th. Therefore, I can't believe that February 29th is my birthday, so I fixed it secretly when the documents were passed on.

'An orphan's birthday is usually the day he goes up to the nursery paperwork.'

I didn't have to stay on purpose.

I bit my lips and said to Cecilia:

"I have to go home."

"Yes?"

"I have something to say to my family."
