The Baby Raising a Devil Ch.84

TL: Zimming

After the chairman was sent back, I walked away.

'Oh my god.'

I've had a hard time for a few days and I couldn't sleep well, so I'm losing strength.

It feels like my whole body is in pain. My skin also felt painful.

I'll eat and sleep a lot today!

I know how to get well because I usually get sick or have a cold during the change of seasons.

'I'm gonna have to ask for some cinnamon honey tea.'

I made up my mind and went to my room, the light was on. I thought someone was already here.

My room was full of people. Lea and three maids, Henry and Isaac.

"Little miss…"

The maids called me very carefully. I waited calmly because I was wondering what was going on, but I couldn't say it easily when I saw their expression and bit my lips several times.

'Everyone must be confused about the Mireille issue.'

How painful it must be for them.

"Everyone just go…"

What I really meant is 'Get yourself together and come back again.' All the maids and brothers looked at me pitifully.

Henry came to me and we had eye contact.

"Yes, call me when you feel better."

'People must be having a hard time with Mireille.'

I nodded.

After everyone left the room, I changed my clothes and sat down in bed.

I tried to get the blanket, but it was warmer than usual.

'Of course Lea easily notices that.'

She knew all about me, what I hated and liked.

'I'll say thank you to Lea and the maids tomorrow.'

I asked the servant to bring me the cinnamon honey tea. After taking the medicine in the drawer and the tea, I fell asleep.

How long has it been?

"….miss!"

"Little miss!!"

I could hear a loud noise around me, and I could feel my body burning. Not only that, I can't breathe well.

'It's painful…'

The more I tried to force myself to breathe, the tighter my lungs seemed to be.

When I opened my eyes, there were my family and maids around the bed.

When Lea was in a hurry, the doctor spilled a liquid to my mouth. A bitter taste. It's a medicine.

I could easily guess the situation.

'I guess the honey added to my cinnamon honey tea was the honey of haro flowers.'

It's about this time of year that the haro flowers start to bloom for the first time.

The problem is that I'm allergic to haro flowers.

Just smelling the scent of the haro flower makes my whole body ache and I get a rash.

If the Elsa tree flower is good for a person with a lot of divine power, the haro flower is good for those with mana.

Among people with divine power, there was a rare case of allergic symptoms when eating things made of haro flowers. It usually happens to people with high purity of divine power.

In the process of purifying impurities that enter the body, there seems to be an allergic reaction.

Mina also experienced this once and said…

"It's similar to getting a fever when you catch a cold. My body heats up to fight the virus."

'I didn't know it was haro flower honey because of the cinnamon's smell.'

I really felt like I was going to run out of breath.

"Little miss, wake up. You can't fall asleep. You have to keep breathing consciously!"

The maids said to me.

It was the first time in the castle that someone was so sick, so everyone seemed to be very surprised.

"Do something!"

Isaac shouted, grasping the restless doctor's collar.

"Bu, but I don't know why…!"

"Why don't you know that!"

"It's not because of a cold. But I don't think she's allergic to food either…. Honey and cinnamon are her favorite."

Haro flower!

Everyone, it's haro flower!

Help me!

I've been trying to talk, but my throat is parched and my voice doesn't come out well.

I'm really in big trouble because my eyes are losing focus.

My father, who was looking at me with a stiff face, spoke to the knight who was waiting beside me.

"…Bring Taylor from the underground prison."

"That Sir Taylor…?!"

The knights shouted in amazement, but my father didn't reply anything and kept his eyes fixed on me.

"Tell him I'll get his status back if he healed my daughter."

"Bu—"

"Now!,"

The knights bowed their heads when father shouted.

I slowly closed my eyes.

"Little miss!"

"Little miss, please!"

People called me while screaming, but I couldn't hold on to my consciousness.

***

When I woke up, I kept my eyes closed. I couldn't open my eyes because I was scared. Because my pain was somehow gone.

'What if I regressed again…'

What if I wake up again and my arms short again?

Then suddenly, I could hear someone laughing.

"If you woke up, why don't you open your eyes?"

A young man with a blue eye and black hair was looking at my face closely.

"Aagh!"

As I pushed him in surprise, he grabbed my chin and frowned.

"You're too much, I tried to heal you as much as I could. I'm hurt."

He said that while smiling.

"Who are you?"

He rested his elbows on the armrest of the chair and held his chin languidly.

"Who do you think am I?"

What a weird guy.

I looked around and confirmed that I was still in my room. I'm glad I didn't regress but who is this man?

I think carefully, looked at him and said,

"Maybe…"

"…Sir Taylor?"

He grinned. His smile looked very much like Henry.

"I'd like you to call me uncle."

Oh my god.

My dad got this crazy man out to treat me.

People said a lot about this man.

Dad and Javelin's younger brother.

An illegitimate child born by the mistake of their predecessor.

I vividly remember one thing about him.

'Crazy doctor.'

This psycho had a hand of god.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a flower allergy. You're going to be a pretty good experiment."

It was about 7 years later that the allergy to haro flowers, which is rare among people with divine powers, was revealed.

'He already knows it?'

No, Taylor Dubbled has been stuck in a basement prison for nearly a decade under the order of their predecessor for trying to poison their father several times, so to be exact, he already knew about such things more than 17 years ago.

"So, what will you do to me, your benefactor?"

"…dad said he will restore your status."

"Not Theodore, but you. You owe me."

"Money?"

He laughed. Now that his status has been restored, he will be able to recover the wealth he has inherited from his predecessors.

"Then, hmm…"

Taylor took hold of my chin lightly as I agonized.

"I want a kiss from my cute niece."

What?

Soon Taylor's face approached me. Towards my lips.

"You crazy bastard–!"

A dagger flew by the door like a lightning bolt. When Taylor was about to duck down it hit him! The leaping Isaac kicked him in the face.

"Aghh!"

Falling off from the chair with a scream, Taylor stared at Isaac, who was all flushed, and Henry, who was walking.

"That's too much. To your uncle whom you finally met again after 10 years."

"Get out of here. We'll give you a chance to live."

Taylor stood up with a shrug. Then, while Isaac opened the way to get rid of him, he kissed my cheek!

"Do you want to die…!"

When Isaac pulled out his sword, Taylor pulled some medicine envelopes out of his jacket pocket.

"I think you should let me live."

"What?"

"If this kid is going to be fully recovered, she'll have to keep on getting my medication."

"...!"

When Isaac pulled out his sword, Henry caught his wrist.

"Not until Leblaine gets better."

"Damn it."

"I'll tear your limbs when you're done."

Then Henry looked at Taylor.

Taylor shrugged and approached me.

"I'll give you the medicine today. Give me a kiss when I come to give you the medicine tomorrow."

Then he smiled.

'Is he gonna threaten me with my life?'

I looked at my brothers and whispered.

"Will the haro flower allergy be healed with some medication?"

A smile disappeared from Taylor's mouth, which had been laughing all along.

"How did you…"

"Do you still have no clue?"

"...!"

"I know."

Taylor looked at me.

'Your threat doesn't work on me, rascal.'

Taylor looked at me like I was out of my mind.

He laughed,

"It became more fun."

"..."

"I like it."

Taylor who muttered left the room and close the door tightly.
