To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 270
Episode 270 Celestia’s Courtship (1)
At the threatening words, Eight took a step back.
“I am the scion of the Great Count. Are you sure you can touch it and be safe!”
“Crazy man! Did you think you could live a normal life after touching a former saint!”
When Ray suddenly swung his fist, he hurriedly recited a starter word.
“Sea Shield!”
A sturdy shield made with a lot of mana appeared in front of him.
‘With this, I’ll be able to stop it until the next chant.’
The moment Eight is about to memorize the chant in a hurry.
Ray’s fists collided with his shield.
Wow Jang Chang-!
With the sound of breaking glass, the fist that penetrated the shield hit Eight directly in the face.
Baka-!
“Gagging!”
Eight got hit and immediately flew over three meters and crashed into the wall.
Eight was unconscious from the shock that caused his whole head to shake.
As I managed to get myself up in a hurry to get out of here, a second fist flew in front of my eyes.
“Shield!”
Kwaaang-!
The defensive magic he had worked so hard to create did not complete its role and exploded again.
Eight exploded as well.
“Aaaagh!”
The face that was supposed to be smooth has become half.
After two hits, I thought I might die.
Eight looked at Ray.
Her figure was blurry because of the pouring rain, but the corners of her mouth were clearly raised.
‘I’m enjoying this baby.’
Someone did.
They say that a madman who enjoys fighting is more frightening than a guy who is good at fighting.
Eight begged, filled with longing for not wanting to be beaten.
“Please have mercy on the saint.”
At that, Ray smiled and shook his head.
“I am not a saint. That’s why I don’t have much mercy to give.”
When his earnest wish was rejected, Eight’s complexion became contemplative.

Many royal soldiers are currently stationed in Viscount Gade’s estate.
Originally, it existed as an unwritten law that the kingdom’s troops invaded the nobles’ territory, but this case was a little exception.
Since the princess might have been murdered, the royal family was very interested.
Knights roam from time to time throwing a wary gaze, and soldiers are stationed in the manor.
At this level, the other nobles did not act recklessly.
The vigilance against Princess Celestia was the strictest among them.
Normally, it would have been irrelevant to her, who would have been locked in her study and read a book for a day or two, but not now.
she let out a sigh.
“Haa… I haven’t heard from you since then.”
The lady-in-waiting who had grown up with her since she was little smiled and said,
“Did you like him that much?”
“Don’t like it. I’m just thinking that it’s the first wedding talk that His Majesty brought up.”
“no way. How long have I been with the princess? Just by looking at your face, if you pretend, you pretend.”
The lady-in-waiting, who was flipping her palms upside down, spoke in a coy voice.
“Isn’t the princess who said that as long as she has a book, she doesn’t need love, she’s also a girl after all?”
He nods his head as if he knows everything.
Celestia was speechless and lowered her head to hide her blushing face.
“Shall I secretly call you at night?”
“To meet a man outside at night? As a member of the royal family, we should set an example for the nobles and the people.”
“We’re on our way to the wedding, so what? I assure you, there is no man who will not fall for the beauty of the princess.”
He confidently assures himself as if he were to believe only in himself.
It was not unreasonable for the maid to come out like this.
Celestia is the most beautiful and talented woman in the kingdom.
She has a wide range of knowledge and outstanding talent, so not only the surrounding nobles but also the princes of other kingdoms want her.
Even so, she wasn’t interested in anyone, so there was no way she’d ever been in a relationship.
But now, there is someone who draws the princess’s attention.
Besides, the king seems to be in favor of marriage.
If she made up her mind and seduced her, there would be no man she wouldn’t fall for.
If the king gives power to it, it will be the climax of the left blue dragon and the right white tiger.
A picture of the man falling in love with the princess was already drawn in the maid’s mind.
Celestia, who insisted on being an example to others, was also tempted when the lady-in-waiting, who had always joked around but never lied, spoke like this.
“…really?”
“Really not! Well, other big things may happen, but nothing will happen. Oh yeah!”
Come to think of it, I promised to stick with him for a month.
The justification is sufficient, so all you have to do is execute it.
Celestia spoke with a lighter heart than at first.
“Then I will ask you.”
“Just leave it to me!”

Banquets are no longer held at the viscount’s house after the poisoning incident.
This is because Celestia canceled the banquet in her name.
Even royal soldiers with scary eyes are stationed there.
At this point, the sons and daughters deserve to leave Viscount Gade.
However, most of them were attached to the viscount’s family and did not know that they would fall.
If there are people who have left, there are only eight.
There were two reasons for this.
The first was because of Princess Celestia, the first princess of the royal family, and the second was because of the handsome lazy man.
That is why Viscount Gade was experiencing a rare experience of overflowing crowds despite an unfortunate incident.
Lay lay down on the nearby grass and passed the years and four months.
Because of the experience of being constantly tormented by the women of aristocratic families while living in a private room, this place is currently used as his refuge.
There are few people and there is no better place than this where the sun is shining.
I was trying to get some sleep while enjoying my leisure time, but someone blocked the sunlight from hitting me.
When Ray slowly opened his eyes and looked up, he saw an old man with a benevolent smile.
said the old man with his hands behind his back.
“Look at this good guy. You bastard, how many days have passed since the big incident happened?”
Then Ray closed his eyes again and said.
“Since the prestigious knights are guarding it fiercely, it is okay for me to be at least one person at ease.”
The old man laughed blankly at the reply, which he had not heard much of in his life.
“Heh heh heh. You can’t have a good mind by relying on this guy’s knight. Your body is your own law. If you are a noble, you have to behave properly. How can you spread out in a place like this?”
“I’m not a noble, am I? Please let me sleep.”
“What do you mean if you’re not a noble? Are you saying you’re a member of the royal family?”
“I am a commoner.”
He told the truth, but the old man did not believe him.
If you look at your elegant appearance, you can never be a commoner.
Ray lay down on his side to avoid the old man.
The dumbfounded old man waved his hand around to feed the honey chestnuts, and Ray turned his head and threw it away.
In the end, he blew it into thin air.
The old man made a look of surprise.
“How can I avoid it?”
Ray, impatient, stood up.
“Your old man, did you have enemies with me? Why are you impatient because you can’t bully someone who is still?”
“It’s no wonder that a young guy who has to do a big job is just lying around, you bastard.”
“Isn’t the old man going to have something to do?”
“My job now is to wait for the day I die.”
When Ray was seriously contemplating whether he should move, the old man looked at him and his eyes lit up.
‘Even though I was going to hit it lightly, I thought I just avoided it. He’s a very well-rounded kid.’
How many children in that age group will be able to avoid one of their moves?
If time permits, it would be fun to teach.
The old man smiled and removed his hand.
“I get it. Don’t disturb me now.”
“Really?”
“okay. Instead, come to this place tomorrow too. I’m not bragging about it, but even an old man with a few days left to go knows a few things to teach for future generations.”
Ray readily replied.
“all right.”
Of course, I had no intention of going.
Ray bought peace with lies.

Viscount Gade was bowing his head in his office.
An old man is standing in front of him.
Where did the benevolent smile go? He looked at the viscount with a solemn and weighty face.
“You are here. I got it at first glance through rumors spreading. I sincerely congratulate you on the completion of the sword.”
completion of the sword.
It may seem arrogant at first glance, but the viscount did not seem to have any hesitation in saying it.
The old man waved his hand.
“Where is there such a thing as perfection in a sword? The old man just peeked at a small fragment.”
“I am sorry that I am not able to understand the high words of my low level.”
“It’s okay. More than that…”
The old man gave Viscount Gade a sharp glare.
“I heard directly from His Majesty that something unpleasant happened at your mansion.”
The energy of mana flowed out of him.
Viscount Gade’s complexion turned blue as the refined, sharp mana pricked his skin.
“Sorry. I never thought that something like this would happen…”
“…This time it was hard to prevent, so I’ll just let it go, but there’s no next time.”
“I will keep that in mind!”
Viscount Gade’s attitude was polite.
The opponent is the ‘sword’ of the kingdom of Silia, which has been famous since his father’s generation.
Because of his strong will, he stayed in the rank of marquess rather than duke, but in terms of actual power, most marquesses were not even named.
In addition, he is known to practice only confined to his mansion without stepping into politics.
Since he only responded to the king’s orders and devoted all his remaining time to the sword, he could not have predicted how advanced he would be at this point.
The old man looked out the window at the soldiers and said.
“Attempting to poison the princess is a very serious matter. That’s why, against my will, I have soldiers stationed on your estate. Please understand His Majesty’s feelings with me.”
“It’s normal, so I don’t care.”
“Oh. This is a story that has nothing to do with work, but are there any commoners in your mansion right now?”
The viscount, who had a puzzled look on his face, answered the old man’s question.
“The only commoners in the mansion are the attendants…”
The Viscount never saw Ray as a commoner.
Since I thought so subconsciously, the answer naturally became negative.
When Viscount Gade’s answer matched his thoughts, the old man smiled happily.
“As expected. You asked me something. Heh heh heh.”
