Doctor Player Chapter 96
“That’s it, there’s no reason to oppose it. How is your Highness?”
King Auden nodded without saying a word.
It meant accepting.
‘Good. I have to run from here.’
It was important from now on.
The preceding words were only an introduction.
“There is just one catch.”
“Hmm?”
“This is the rule of the Tower of Healing. In any treatment center, it is stipulated that if you treat a patient, you must receive a certain treatment fee.”
Raymond hastily shook his head.
“Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m going to pay for treatment. During the war, of course, it’s nonsense. Of course, it would be appreciated if the costs such as the cost of medicinal herbs were supported as military expenses to the extent possible.”
Eventually, Raymond threw the match.
“Instead, please credit me for treating each patient individually.”
“… … !”
“I think that will be enough to cover the cost of treatment.”
Recognize patient care!
This was Raymond’s winning number.
‘It’s possible to make a lot of money this way.’
It was a difficult story to understand.
Is this a way to make money?
However, with a little change of thinking, the answer could be found.
What is the merit?
It is a great honor and the basis for compensation after victory.
Raymond was going to demand compensation beyond the cost of treatment after he had accumulated merit by treating a bunch of patients!
‘I have to ask for the yolk of the Lafalde region. For example, to a place like a mine.’
Even if it is not, Auden promised Raymond to descend one of the Lafalde provinces as a fief after the victory.
The Lafalde region was also very different depending on where it was located.
After making a lot of merit, you will receive the most profitable yolk land as your fiefdom.
The cost of treatment would be incomparable.
‘War is a field of opportunity! Through this war, I will become the richest lord, super rich!’
Just imagining it made my heart pound.
Then Chancellor Galman asked.
“Why are you making such a request?”
Raymond hid his greed and answered in a determined voice.
“I am also greedy.”
“greed?”
“It is the desire to make the best contribution for your kingdom.”
“… … !”
“I want to make a bigger contribution to the Houston kingdom than anyone else. By serving patients as a healer.”
Is it because of the ‘Speech’ skill?
I don’t feel the slightest bit of greed.
It was a voice full of determination.
Of course, Raymond’s limited keeper, Galman, was overlooked.
“I think Baron Pennin’s will is truly admirable. How is your Highness?”
At that time, Oden showed an unexpected reaction.
I thought he would agree, but he didn’t easily nod his head.
“The meaning is not bad, but it is unprecedented, so it needs to be reviewed. It can be seen as giving preferential treatment.”
Raymond made a troubled face at the unexpected objection.
Fortunately, Hogu Galman stepped in.
“It’s for the sake of the patient, so it’s a preferential treatment? Also, considering what Baron Pennin has done so far, what does it matter if he gets a little favor?”
‘Every word is correct, Mr. Prime Minister!’
“If Your Highness is reluctant, I will permit the establishment under my jurisdiction as the Prime Minister.”
In the end, King Auden nodded.
“There is only one condition.”
“What is?”
“To participate as a healer at the victory ceremony in a few days.”
Raymond made a puzzled face.
‘Victory ritual? What is it?’
It was the first word I heard.
Galman, on the other hand, asked in surprise.
“majesty? Are you serious?”
“Yes, since he wants to make a contribution for the kingdom of Houston, he must be able to do well in the victory ceremony.”
Galman put on a very happy expression.
“Congratulations. I have been entrusted with a very honorable job!”
Raymond made a puzzled face.
“What is the victory rite?”
“Subjugating monsters.”
“… … yes?”
Chancellor Galman excitedly explained.
“To be precise, it is to enter the Gir Mountains and slash the head of the ‘Sabel Tiger’, the symbol of the Drowton Kingdom.”
“… … !”
Raymond’s face went white.
‘How can I, as a healer, catch something like that?! Do you want me to die?’
At that time, Galman waved his hand as if not to misunderstand.
“Of course, His Highness the King will directly catch the Saber Tiger together with the Royal Knights. It’s the royal family’s ceremony to pray for victory.”
“Then what about me?”
“You are supporting such a Highness as a healer.”
Galman said with a satisfied face.
“As a therapist, this is the greatest honor. congratulations Getting a chance to assist Her Highness.”
Dedicated to serving King Oden!
It was an honor only possible for Count Helien, the royal court physician!
It was obviously the highest honor, but Raymond’s complexion hardened.
‘I have to serve His Highness?’
The indifferent face of King Auden came into his eyes.
Every time I see that face, I can’t help but think of the countless pains that I suffered because I was born as an illegitimate child.
Raymond suppressed his emotions and lowered his head.
“… … I am extremely grateful to you for giving me the honor to serve Your Highness.”
King Auden looked at such Raymond for a while.
Fragments of unknown emotions passed by in the hard face.
However, Raymond, who had his head down, did not catch a glimpse of that fragment.
That’s how Raymond met King Auden in person for the first time.
Even as a servant.
Even as a father and son.
It was the first time.
* * *
“Why did you ask Raymond to participate in the victory ceremony?”
Galman asked after Raymond had left.
It was because it made sense that Count Helien, the royal court physician, was right.
However, Oden did not give any answer.
Eventually, after Galman went outside, Oden, who was left alone, raised his eyes and looked out the window.
“… … It’s time to ‘decide’.”
decision.
It’s about what to do with Raymond in the future.
In the meantime, I have been consistent with indifference and ignorance, but now I can’t.
For that reason, Raymond was showing too much outstanding prominence.
It was time to make a decision in one way or another.
This ‘victory ceremony’ was a ‘test’ to make that decision.
Auden’s decision will change depending on the results of the ‘test’.
* * *
Meanwhile, the Duke of Raeburn on the outskirts of the capital.
The Duke of Raeburn, the head of the best family in the Houston Kingdom, was suffering from a headache.
It was because of Alfred, the heir.
He was afraid to go to war and ran away!
“Did you find Alfred?”
“I’m sorry, Duke. yet.”
“Okay.”
The Duke of Raeburn groaned.
Even though he is the only son, he is a mess.
study is behind.
He only indulged in alcohol and women and did not waste his family fortune on gambling, but this time he even ran away with his lover at night out of fear of war.
‘So I tried to pass on the family to Christine. suddenly become a healer ok.’
Nothing worked out as intended.
“Somehow, find Alfred! The heir of the duchy is afraid of war and runs away!”
“All right!”
Then a confident voice rang out.
“No way. I will join the war.”
“… … !”
It was Christine!
“What do you mean?”
“I will represent my family in the war instead of my older brother.”
“does not make sense!”
“why? Why not?”
She raised her dark blue eyes and looked at the peacock.
It was a provocative gaze.
“Your father would know? That I’m much more suited to being a duke than that idiot.”
The Duke couldn’t deny it.
Christine suddenly pulled out the sword for self-defense from her waist.
Dig!
Her sword emitted a bright light.
It was a mana sword!
Surprisingly, Christine had not only healing powers, but also swordsmanship skills comparable to mana users!
“When I was young, my father saw me manifest this mana sword and decided to make me his successor.”
“… … It’s just the past. You chose the path of a healer.”
“Why can’t I inherit the family if I choose the path of a healer? Even a cowardly fool wants to inherit the family.”
Christine said boldly.
“I will participate in the war and prove my abilities. I will show you that I am perfect both as a healer and as an heir to the family.”
The Duke of Raeburn drooled.
“… … Why did you suddenly make that decision? Didn’t inheriting the family give up?”
“that… … .”
Christine kept her mouth shut.
‘To give strength to some idiot who only looks at patients.’
what a fool
Thinking of Raymond made her angry and frustrated.
‘I will no longer be a helpless burden. I’ll be his strength somehow I will make him depend on me.’
That was her promise.
Of course, I didn’t bring up such a story.
“If I went to war instead, my cowardly brother would like it too. And I have a request for you.”
“What is it?”
“Please ignore the engagement story with the second prince Cairn.”
“… … !”
Christine said casually.
“Am I too wasteful to marry such a psychopathic prince?”
“… … It is not an easy decision to make.”
“It’s difficult to break the board, so please join my younger brother instead. You wanted to be a princess before she did, right?”
A combination of a psychopathic prince and a vain, villainous sister. It will suit you very well.
‘I can’t afford to pay attention to a psychopath like that.’
she was busy
Become the best healer.
If you want to be a strength to any fool who only knows patients, it will not be enough even if you pour out all your efforts.
‘It’s just the start.’
So Christine’s participation in the war was decided.

Raymond participated in the victory ceremony.
The place is the eastern part of the kingdom.
It was the Gir Mountains, the den of monsters.
When I arrived, a huge number of people stood out.
‘omg. Earl of Doton, Marquis of Aris.’
They were the captain and vice-captain of the Royal Knights!
Both of them are super strong at the highest level of sword experts.
However, even at the same level, Marquis Aris was said to be of a slightly higher level.
‘They say it’s halfway to mastery. That he will become a sword master within a few years. He’s really handsome anyway.’
Statue Aris.
It was the nickname of Marquis Aris. so handsome
Although she was over fifty, she looked only in her late thirties. Brilliant silver hair flashed.
‘It really looks like the Elmude I saw a while ago.’
‘Raymond! Please allow me to raise the sword for you!”’
As we parted, I remembered Elmud’s cry and felt chills running down my spine.
For the heir of the marquis to swear knight loyalty to himself, an illegitimate son of Naburin.
‘If Marquis Aris finds out about this, he will try to cut my throat.’
As I shuddered, my eyes met with Marquis Aris.
Aris’s sculpted lips softened.
Surprisingly, he smiled!
“Is it Baron Pennin?”
