The Baby Raising A Devil-Chapter 348

Chapter 348

TL: Zimmings

So this is what happened.

I made a deal with the leader of red spider clan before the Kakan meeting started today.

“I understand that you’re not interested in the position of the union leader. You only worry about your daughter lying on the bed, right?”

“A foreigner knows the news of my tribe well.”

“The story of the wise daughter of the red spider tribe is also famous in the empire. She solved the shortage of food in your tribe at the age of fifteen with great wisdom. However, I have been told that her body has been very weak since birth, so she have been living in bed since last year.”

“…That’s right.”

“I can help you. I have a devil that can cure any disease as long as they are not dead.”

The leader of the red spider tribe is a person who knows the power of exchange.

Since he was originally in favor of the destruction of the temple, it was clear that he would be tempted by my proposal.

He cooperated with me.

And I called out the ghost of the whitr mountain tribe and made them fight against the red spider in the middle of Athar.

Of course, it was only a show, so no one was injured.

However, Jin’s people spread the rumors all over Athar, and this is the result

Jin asked.

“At the next meeting, the leader of the white mountain will say that it wasn’t them that fought the red spider. Then the problem will come back to the beginning, what are you going to do?”

“It won’t happen.”

“What?”

Sahad, Jin’s grandfather, spoke on my behalf.

“There will be no one who believes what the white mountain say. I’ll make it like that. Didn’t you tell me everything to fix it?”

I smiled brightly.

“That’s right.”

“The leaders, who realized how fearful the division was, will realize that the center of Athar was the most harmonious when I was there.”

“……It means that if you control them now, it’s not difficult for you to win re-election.”

“What are you doing?”

“Yes?”

“I need to go and meet the leaders right now!”

When Sahad shouted, Jin flinched. Sahad clicked his tongue and shook his head.

“If you resembled the lady even half as much, there would be no need for me to rule with this old body.”

“That’s… I’m sorry.”

Jin burst out laughing as if it was ridiculous.

Jin and I smiled as we looked at each other.

Together we left the room.

Jin said,

“I thought you’d come up with a perfect ploy to not get caught up in such a crude job.”

“I know that this ploy was lame.”

“Why did you choose this method knowing that?”

“First, this was the fastest way to solve it, and secondly…”

I looked at him gently.

Jin stroked my cheek and asked, “Why?” and I smiled faintly.

“I believed in the potential of that old man… and Jin.”

“……What?”

“Even with such a poor plan, if a door opens up, he know that he will never miss an opportunity.”

“…….”

Jin stared at me blankly.

After looking at him for a long time, he smiled as if he was in despair some time later.

“I have a lot of greed, but I have loyalty, so I can’t embrace you.”

“Yes?”

“I’m conflicted. If you weren’t my friend’s woman, I would have hugged you and kissed you right away.”

“Your friend’s woman?”

“Yeah, friend… Ugh.”

Jin groaned while holding his forehead. He murmured only after pressing his temples several times.

“You’re my friend’s… what can I say…”

“…don’t worry about it.”

“What?”

I grabbed my etwal without answering.

Maybe I had more things to do with him that disappeared from my memory more than I thought.

“I’ll go now.”

“Already? Go take a break. You haven’t met the envoys yet.”

“I don’t have time. The communication device is not working, so I don’t know how much time I will have to stay in Mojas.”

Then Jin took something out and put it in my hand.

It was a metal in the form of a slanted line crossing the inside of a circular rim.

Just in time, Vipasha, who was coming to us, flinched.

“Nashalk’s treasure! Kamatal, you, stupid?”

Jin, who lightly touched Vipasha’s face with one hand said,

“Take it.”

“What is this?”

“It’s the sacred property of God that our ancestors found in the old plateau. We call it “the sign”. It is said that it has a special power and leads the owner in case of an emergency. It will help those who can’t use the communication device.”

“Can you give me this?”

“Give it back later, you should survive.”

The sun was shining.

Now it’s time to leave for the last country.

***

Mojas.

Having the prestige of being a country blessed by God, Mojas is a rich country that was not damaged by any disasters.

Even when other countries give up farming due to the great drought that has lasted for years on the continent, grains grow on the land of Mojas, and their lakes do not dry up.

In the mountain ranges surrounding the border, things such as mana stone and spinel are constantly mined.

It’s territory was less than 30 percent of the Wigentra Empire, yet its economy was close to that of an empire.

Since five years ago, the king of Mojas has called himself emperor and has been aiming for the position in the Hoshitamtam Empire.

Dinner was still in full swing today in the Mojas Empire.

Laughter continued at the table of the royal family.

“The Duke of Dubblede in prison! What could be more ridiculous than that, the rich man!”

“Isn’t that proof that the fortunes of the empire have run out?”

Juliet, who was holding the glass at the very end of the table, laughed inside.

‘Those people have become arrogant by the blessings of God.’

Not being hungry does not mean that it is a perfect country.

If Athar was a country that relied on force, Mojas relied only on magic.

It boasted an excellent magic force based on a huge amount of magic stones, but they have no power for direct battle.

It will be almost a 100% defeat in a battle where magic couldn’t be used.

‘But to imprison the duke of an empire?’

Without any justification?

The third princess, Charlotte, who’s kind to Juliet asked.

“You’re not drinking, why?”

“If the empire finds out about this, they’ll attack us, so should I be drunk?”

Charlotte looked at the emperor at the top with a bewildered look.

“What are you going to do if our father or brothers finds out? You…”

The moment she spoke, Prince Rogel opened his mouth.

“Juliet, you’re boring today too.”

“Ah, sorry. I get nauseated just looking at your face, Rogel.”

“What?!”

As Rogel raised his voice, people’s attention was focused on them.

Even the giggling emperor frowned at Juliet, who was at the center of the fuss.

When the emperor roughly put down the glass, the people became quiet. Charlotte struggled to take over before he scolded her.

“How are you today, Your Majesty?”

She kindly recommended alcohol to the emperor and winked at Juliet. It meant to hurry back before the emperor shouted.

Juliet got up without saying much. As soon as she bowed his head to the emperor and tried to escape…

The emperor shouted.

“There’s nothing I really like about her… If it hadn’t been for her power, I would have buried her with her mother.”

The sharp criticism was mixed with laughter from the imperial family.

Juliet left the door without a look. As always.

There was no servant following her. In Mojas, how much affection they received from the emperor was a measure of the status of the imperial family.

But she is grateful to stay away from the emperor’s eyes and still live in the imperial palace.

When she was about to head to her lab.

“……!”

She feel a strange energy.

A wave that was so violent that it gave her goosebumps. It was such a powerful force that it even flowed into the Imperial Palace of Mojas.

‘Divine power. This is divine power.’

It is also a very familiar power.

Juliet hurriedly turned around and ran. When she reached the entrance of the imperial palace, she tore up the teleportation scroll.

And when she headed to the place where the wave began, a woman with thick curly hair and blue eyes was waiting for her angrily.

“…Leblaine.”

“Rumors spread around Mojas. King Mojas imprisoned the Duke of Dubblede.”

“…….”

The moment she saw her unshaken eyes, she felt it.

The wind that was about to shake her country.

It’s also a typhoon.

***

With Juliet’s help, I figured out Mojas’ situation.

Dad was caught in his second meeting with King Mojas.

‘How arrogant.’

King Mojas has sought the position of the Hoshitamtam Empire.

So, he locked up the Duke of Dubblede, who even the emperor of the empire couldn’t touch, and revealed his influence to the whole world.

After the empire was destroyed, he wanted to aim for the unification of the continent.

“It’s like a declaration that the temple can never be destroyed.”

“…you feel bad?”

“Why?”

“Huh?”

“You didn’t do it, so why do you feel bad?”

“…….”

She looked at me blankly. Then she soon let out a groan.

“You really are a strange kid.”

“I’ve heard that a lot. Confessions always follow after those words.”

“Do you want me to do it too?”

“No way.”

I crossed my arms.

“I see how things went. Then let’s go.”

“Where?”

“The temple.”

Unlike other countries, Mojas does not intend to trade. So what should I do?

“I must destroy it with my own hands.”

“What?!”

Juliet was startled when she saw me trying to get the scroll out right away.

“Your father is being held hostage.”

“He wasn’t taken as a hostage.”

“Then?”

“He’s not that easy.”

“What are you talking about?”

“So dad gave King Mojas time. A chance to destroy the temple and save his life. If it were my father, he would have waited for about three days.”

“Today is the third day of being imprisoned.”

That was the moment.

Bang!!

Bang, bang, bang!

There was a sound of banging from somewhere.

From the direction of the Imperial Palace of Mojas.

It was obvious who was making the fuss.

I pulled Juliet’s sleeve, looking in the direction of the Imperial Palace with a bewildered expression.

“Let’s go. To destroy the temple.”

Now it’s the last move.

After clearing the last country, I will return to the empire.
