Doctor Player Chapter 370
‘Say something. Why do you keep looking at me like that from before? What’s on my face?’
It was a crimson saintess who kept staring at Raymond’s face from the first time they met.
As if appreciating a beautiful piece of art.
In fact, what came out of Orbia’s mouth was something that Raymond had never expected.
“You are very beautiful.”
“…yes?”
“I thought so when I first saw it, but it seems to shine even more every time I see it.”
Raymond was taken aback.
‘What is this woman talking about? All of a sudden, why are you complimenting your looks?’
It was hard for Raymond to respond to the bottomless and endless compliment, so he replied the same way.
“The duke is truly beautiful.”
It was a compliment to get out of the situation.
However, Orbia showed an unexpected reaction again.
“is that so? Are you serious?”
“…Ah yes.”
Raymond nodded bewildered.
It was true that Orbia was beautiful.
The moonlight just fell on the balcony, adding even more mysterious beauty to her.
Anyway, it was a very embarrassing situation and conversation.
Raymond opened his mouth thinking that he should finish his business quickly and avoid this place.
“Then what do you propose to me?”
But Orbia didn’t answer right away.
He shut his mouth for a moment, looked at Raymond, and then opened his mouth.
“I’m glad you think well of me. Here is my proposal to Your Highness.”
Orbia said with straight eyes.
“Would you like to marry me?”
* * *
“…yes?”
Raymond asked blankly.
what now?
‘soul…what?’
I didn’t hear it properly.
It was such a shocking story that I couldn’t accept it in my head for a moment.
Orbia spoke again in an upright tone.
“He asked me to marry him.”
“…!”
Raymond was completely taken aback.
What kind of marriage do you mean!
“No, what is that all of a sudden….”
However, Orbia tilted her head and spoke in a calm tone.
“I didn’t think it was an embarrassing story.”
“Aren’t you embarrassed?”
“Your Highness and I are of the right age for marriage. Shouldn’t you be married to someone? So I think it’s a proposal that can be made enough between a man and a woman.”
“That’s right….”
Of course it is.
Since a man and a woman are of the right age for marriage, of course they can talk about getting married.
‘But still, this isn’t it. Such a sudden marriage proposal!’
Orbia shrugged.
“I’m sorry if I embarrassed you. But I am making this proposal because I am convinced that we are very suitable marriage partners.”
“Is it suitable?”
“Your Majesty is a giant from the Crusader Empire. And I am one of the seven Lords leading the Free Cities Alliance. In particular, they have one thing in common as healers. Therefore, it is judged that there will be great benefits when Your Highness and I combine.”
Raymond kept his mouth shut.
So, let’s get married for political reasons.
It was not wrong.
The combination of the two will definitely have a great synergistic effect.
Then Orbia said another unexpected thing.
“Of course there are political reasons, but there are other reasons as well.”
“yes?”
“I like Your Highness.”
“…!”
Raymond was perplexed.
Orbia raised her blue eyes and watched Raymond’s face.
“If I had only been going for political reasons, I would have married the right person sooner or later. There are many people who want to marry me.”
Come to think of it, it was.
Orbia is in her late twenties.
It was a late age.
Considering her position and beauty, she must have received numerous marriage proposals.
“But I am also a woman. I have rejected all of them because I do not want to marry someone I do not have my heart for.”
“…But why me?”
“I saw Your Highness at first sight and thought. He said it would be all right to marry a great man like you.”
“…!”
Raymond was taken aback.
Orbia took a step closer to him.
“Is it possible that His Highness is not happy with me?”
As they drew closer, her scent gently tickled Raymond’s nose. He got cold and hurriedly backed away.
‘No, I don’t like it and I don’t carry it, where is it! I saw it for the first time today!’
And there was one big problem with Orvia’s marriage proposal.
She thought their marriage would benefit each other, but it didn’t.
‘…I’m just a petit bourgeois whose only purpose is to make money! What a strategic advantage!’
It was clear that the crimson saintess was misunderstanding! Raymond has big ambitions.
Raymond was just a petit bourgeois who wanted to become the continent’s greatest super-rich and enjoy a movie of wealth.
But what is the strategic advantage?
‘It’s not a marriage that helps you make money. No wait, isn’t this?’
Raymond blinked as an idea came to him.
‘…Might it be better to get married to make money?’
Raymond was troubled.
The Crimson Saint is the ruler of the Free City Alliance.
If he marries her, business in the Free Cities Alliance will be solid.
‘Moreover, if I join hands with the Crimson Saintess, an Ex-class healer, there may be a synergistic effect in medicine.’
If she, the best healer on the continent, would stand by Raymond’s side and promote her medical skills, she would be able to sell medical products like wings.
But he soon shook his head.
he said in a firm tone.
“sorry. My heart is grateful, but I will refuse.”
“….”
Orbia silently looked at Raymond.
“Am I not your Highness’ taste?”
“Oh no, not like that.”
Actually, that’s right.
Orbia was not to Raymond’s liking.
Raymond wasn’t even thrilled to see Orbia.
This was Raymond’s problem rather than Orbia’s.
Raymond had never felt thrilled by a member of the opposite sex except when making money.
This was because he had lived his entire life in poverty.
‘Eh, even in a relationship, you have to have room in your heart. Debt is 10 million pence, but what kind of relationship and love.’
Raymond swallowed a tear.
Is it because of the debt piled up on your shoulders? Even though such a beautiful woman approached with a straight line, his heart was not moved at all.
The reason why he can relax enough to feel a crush on someone is when the debts on his shoulders disappear… …It will be after the time when you can confidently call yourself rich.
There was a decisive reason for rejecting Orbia besides not agreeing with him.
‘…If you get married, you have to share the profits.’
Will you marry Orbia?
Then, with her help, the business will be easy.
But then what about the revenue? will have to distribute
In particular, Orbia was said to be a strategic alliance.
What does that mean?
In the end, it meant sharing what we had with each other.
Raymond absolutely hated that.
‘All my money is mine! I can never share it with anyone!’
“sorry. I want to spend time for patients and people now. So, I would like to consider marriage later.”
I don’t think about dating and marriage before making money. It was Raymond who was talking back.
Fortunately, Orbia did not insist more, befitting a cool impression.
He silently nodded.
“As expected, it is light. All right. Too bad. Then, can’t I propose a relationship other than marriage?”
“…A different relationship?”
“Your secret relationship.”
Raymond’s face hardened.
What does this mean?
“I like Your Highness. So, even if it’s not necessarily a sexual marriage, I want to continue the relationship in some other way. If possible, without anyone knowing. I think we would make good partners.”
Raymond was taken aback again.
‘Is my understanding right now?’
Raymond remembered what Orbia had said.
I like you, even in a relationship other than marriage… …secretly. partner….
Now, Orbia is a common thing among noble men and women… …It seems to suggest a secret relationship!
‘No, this woman is real!’
But Orbia was just expressionless.
It was not at all an embarrassing face.
‘Even if the Free Cities Association is open. That’s too much!’
Receiving an attack like this (?) for the first time in his life, Raymond was about to shake his head in embarrassment.
Fire!
The curtains on the balcony opened, revealing an unexpected figure.
It was Christine!
She glared at Orvia with a blushing face.
“Disciple?”
“To make such a rude offer to His Highness. Apologize!”
Orbia stared at Christine.
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“Didn’t I propose a one night relationship! This is a proposal that insults our crusader empire. Apologize right away.”
Raymond was stunned by Christine’s force and looked at him without saying anything.
However, Orbia smiled.
Orbia shook her head just as Christine was about to twitch her eyebrows.
“Something seems to have been misunderstood. I was talking about a business partnership. It’s to avoid people’s eyes.”
“…!”
“Even if we don’t get married, I think we can have a good cooperative relationship with Her Highness in many ways. Right now, I have a favor to ask of you.”
“….”
Christine kept her mouth shut.
Her face blushed, then whitened, then blushed again in a different way.
It was a misunderstanding at will, and it was a huge disrespect to the monarch of a foreign country.
“I’m sorry.”
“It was nothing. it’s okay. Then may I finish talking to Your Highness?”
“…yes.”
Christine bowed her head, her face changed like an apple.
Orbia still made a calm face and brought up an unexpected story.
“I heard that they are targeting members of the round table who are involved in drug distribution. Is that correct?”
“…!”
Raymond was taken aback.
“…How?”
“Recently, I caught the movement to investigate drug-related cases in the Gaebolg family. Since Your Highness is a saint who cares only for others, I thought you wouldn’t sit idle in solving such a terrible problem.”
“….”
It wasn’t for that reason at all, but it was a correct guess anyway.
