Doctor Player Chapter 231
“….”
Raymond kept his mouth shut.
What else does this mean?
“Our Mage Tower judges that they have reached out to the Houston Kingdom as well.”
“…Is that true? why?”
Raina smiled softly.
It was the look of knowing everything.
“Because of the death of the first prince, Prince Python.”
“…!”
It was an unexpected story.
‘It was a long time ago. suddenly?’
Raina took another sip of tea to see if her throat was burning.
“Do you know how Prince Python died?”
“I don’t know exactly.”
“I was riding a horse and suddenly paralyzed, and I fell off the horse and died. But it’s a strange thing. At the time, Crown Prince Python was a sword expert, but a healthy knight without any chronic disease had symptoms of paralysis.”
Raymond swallowed.
“Do you think they could be involved?”
“I’m not sure. But there are plenty of possibilities.”
“…Had they intervened, His Highness Cairn would have joined them.”
“bingo. Prince Cairn had never dreamed of becoming king until Prince Python died like that. The drug case that excited Prince Seytil this time is also the most suspicious.”
Raina got up from her seat and happily covered her mouth with a fan.
“I was worried about what kind of tricks Prince Hoho Cairn would use, but I’m relieved that His Excellency is going out on his own.”
‘No, don’t be relieved!’
Raymond wept.
How could Cairn have anything to do with those heinous bastards!
It was a lightning-fast story.
“Anyway, be careful. If they were really behind me, Prince Cairn wouldn’t fall so easily. I will definitely make a last resort.”
Lina smiled brightly.
“Of course, if it’s your Excellency, I’m not worried at all. Rather, I believe that Prince Cairn will be used to catch their tails in reverse.”
With that, Raina disappeared and Raymond, who was left alone, broke out in a cold sweat.
‘Damn, I tried to happily sweep my money now, but they’re behind Cairn? Then there’s no way it will end like this.’
Raymond clenched his fists.
The biggest problem is that Cairn’s eyes are turned upside down.
I didn’t know what to do with their help.
‘I can’t let it go like that!’
Then the urgent news flew.
“News from the royal castle.”
It was Lao.
By the way, Rao had returned from the Rafal region in a hurry due to the urgent situation in the capital.
“It has been confirmed that His Highness Cairn is in close contact with the Marquis of Nexen and the Raeburn duchy!”
“…!”
Raymond was taken aback.
Marquis of Nexen. As a prince in the north, he was Cairn’s maternal family.
The Dukes of Raeburn were also supporters of Cairn.
‘It’s Christine’s disciple’s family, but the Duke of Raeburn still supports Cairn.’
Raymond made a heavy face.
The Marquess of Nexen in the North. The Raeburn Dukes of the East.
Both were strong feudal lords.
I didn’t know what Cairn would do to shake the two princes.
‘It must be stopped.
Raymond said to Christine after much thought.
“You want to convince your father?”
“I don’t know what tricks your Cairn may play to sway the Duke of Raeburn. Please hold the disciple next to him so that he will not be shaken.”
Christine nodded.
“Yes, please leave it to me. I will crack down on my father.”
“thank you.”
Raymond let out a sigh of relief.
The Marquis of Nexen would not be able to devise anything by himself.
As long as the Duke of Raeburn was held steady, there was no big concern.
Coincidentally, the Duke of Raeburn was in the duchy to the east.
Christine took the phone and headed east to Raeburn Duke’s house, while Raymond remained in the capital and watched Cairn’s movements.
It was after spending a few days of nervous time like that.
Suddenly, an urgent message flew in.
But it wasn’t the news I was waiting for.
“My brother, there is an urgent message from the Raeburn duchy!”
“Lao?”
Raymond rolled his eyes in surprise.
‘Is it urgent?’
Raymond’s eerie uneasiness passed.
indeed.
“They say His Excellency the Duke of Raeburn has been poisoned!”
“…!”
Raymond’s eyes widened.
poisoned? suddenly?
“what? Who is the culprit?”
Lao bit his lip.
My heart sank in Rao’s face, which was unusual.
“The culprit is said to be the poor Princess Christine!”
* * *
‘Nonsense!’
cried Raymond.
That she poisoned her father.
“How did this happen?”
“I don’t know the exact circumstances. Prince Alfred is said to be taking care of the situation.”
“Alfred?”
Raymond frowned.
It was the madness of the Duke of Raeburn.
He was pushed out by Christine and was stripped of the position of successor.
‘no way?’
In an instant, a terrifying speculation came to mind.
Lao nodded heavily as if he had the same thought.
“It seems highly likely that it was the work of Prince Alfred. If you deal with the Duke of Raeburn and the deterioration of Princess Christine at once, you’ll be able to inherit the duchy.”
The ugly eldest son who was pushed by his younger sister.
I was in a situation where I could do something like this.
‘But I knew he was an ugly great man, but he did something like this?’
Raymond made a puzzled face.
It takes a bit of gamnyang to do such a terrible thing.
‘A great man who ran away even in the war because he was scared did something like this?’
I didn’t understand easily.
There seemed to be something darker.
“Then, what is your situation, disciple?”
“They say they fled with the poisoned Duke of Raeburn.”
I knew it.
It became more clear that Christine wasn’t doing it.
If it was her fault, there would be no way she would have escaped with the poisoned duke.
“Your disciple must be in danger.”
“maybe…I think so.”
Just then, I heard a muffled noise outside.
“There…!”
“A shutter phone?”
When I went outside, I saw a blood-soaked shirt phone sitting in the garden of the treatment center.
On top of the shirt phone was Christine’s escort knight, Lero, who was also bloody and unconscious.
“No, how did this happen?”
[I was eating beef, but the Duke’s soldiers attacked! bad people! I can’t forgive you!]
Shutphone growled angrily unlike usual.
Hearing the story, it seemed as if it had been planned in advance, as if it had been attacked with arrows and magic.
“A disciple?”
[The scary human woman couldn’t come to me and hid in the nearby mountains. I wanted to bring him along, but there were too many soldiers, so I couldn’t bring him. I came to ask for help from you, a good human being, taking only the escort knight who was forced to collapse on the road.]
Understanding the situation, Raymond let out a drool.
‘I thought the soldiers were preparing in advance. I was determined and drew my sword.’
Perhaps Alfred intends to kill Christine right away.
‘I have to save it!’
“Prepare the Hanson weapon and emergency cart. Elmude, you find Mien right away and bring him back.”
Each minute was ticking.
The moment the therapist rushes back.
An unexpected visitor came.
“Could you give me a moment, dear brother?”
soft smile.
But very cold eyes.
It was Cairn!
“There is something I want to talk closely with you.”
* * *
‘No way? Who is behind this incident?’
Raymond had a hunch the moment he met Cairn.
That Cairn is behind Alfred!
Raymond asked with a stiff face.
“Could this be. Do you have anything to do with Your Highness?”
Cairn didn’t answer.
I just smiled softly.
Raymond was able to realize the truth the moment he saw that eerie grin.
‘Obviously! Cairn ordered Alfred to poison him when the Duke of Raeburn, who supported him, faltered. Alfred will support him unconditionally.’
Raymond clenched his fists.
Cairn looked out the window with a more relaxed expression than before.
People were in the midst of loading their bags on the phone and preparing to depart.
Cairn looked at him and said abruptly.
“It will be useless even if I go.”
“…What are you talking about?”
“No matter how much you hurry, you can’t save the Duke of Raeburn. Before you arrive, the duke will be dead and Princess Christine will be executed as a pariah.”
Raymond realized two things from Cairn’s words.
That the Duke of Raeburn is still alive.
But that he will die soon.
“Of course, I can’t believe that she, who was even called a little saint, poisoned her father, but if the duke dies, the crime will be confirmed. It will be irreversible.”
Cairn was right.
The smoothest way to solve this situation is to revive the duke.
It was highly likely that the duke knew who the real culprit was.
If not, at least you know that Christine wasn’t the one who poisoned her.
‘But what should I do?’
The problem was time.
It is clear that he was poisoned, but how long can the duke survive?
Then Cairn said.
“So I want to make you an offer.”
“…?”
“Kneel down to me. If you help me ascend the throne, I will tell Alfred to spare Christine.”
Raymond frowned.
It was an unexpected offer.
‘What should I do?’
Normally, I would not have pretended to hear.
But Christine was the problem.
Even at this moment, she was being pursued under threat of life.
I never knew when I would be caught and killed.
‘I have to save my disciple.’
It was a biting moment.
Then Hanson came in.
“Master, hold on. Miss Lero has woken up. He said he has something urgent to tell Master.”
Lero.
It was Christine’s secret escort.
Everyone forgot about her because she had no presence, but this time she was injured while protecting Christine and collapsed on the side of the road before being picked up by the phone.
Raymond hurried to see Lero.
“I see you, Your Excellency. I have something to tell you when the young lady sees your Excellency.”
“What is?”
“He said he would be angry if he knelt down to a psychopath because of him.”
“….”
Raymond kept his mouth shut.
Clever Christine seemed to have guessed everything.
‘…It’s scary when a disciple gets angry.’
“But what about the disciple?”
“There was a secret place in the mountains where only the lady knew about samurai training, so he said he would hide there and try to survive. He asked me to come quickly and save him without unnecessary thoughts.”
“….”
Raymond cleared his throat.
It was a Christine-like message.
‘What do we do?’
It was difficult to make an easy decision.
But what if she goes wrong?
But then Lero spoke again.
“really…He said he was angry.”
“…!”
“The young lady has sworn to punish all of Prince Alfred and Prince Cairn who did this. So save the young lady and punish those demons!”
