Doctor Player Chapter 251
‘Acting King?’
Raymond made a puzzled face.
The King of Catal Kingdom was Rance V.
But suddenly acting as an agent?
“His Highness’s condition suddenly deteriorated a while ago, and His Highness Vermont has decided to act as acting King.”
“…!”
Raymond was taken aback.
vermouth!
He was the king’s younger brother and a political opponent who threatened Princess Jude.
That such a person became the acting king?
‘Could Princess Jude have tried to commit suicide out of despair at this situation?’
Raymond thought with a heavy face.
I followed the Royal Knights and headed to the Royal Palace.
“This is His Highness Raymond, Crown Prince of the Houston Kingdom!”
Upon entering, several people were already seated.
Through the knowledge he had studied in advance, Raymond could see that they were the core nobles of the Catal Kingdom.
and the highest seat.
A skinny, sharp-looking, grey-haired old man was seated.
Although he was old, his eyes were sharp.
‘Cardinal Vermont.’
Raymond swallowed.
For reference, the Cardinal was a unique position within the Catal Kingdom.
As a country where healers are respected, the Katal Kingdom had a lot of authority over all state affairs.
Among them, the cardinal was an honorable position given to the best healer in the kingdom, and it was a position to assist state affairs by the side of the king.
‘It’s a position with almost the same authority as the chancellor. In some cases, the chancellor’s authority is exceeded.’
Vermont in front of me was just such a case.
As the younger brother of the king and the best healer in the kingdom, he has enjoyed great power for a long time.
‘But I didn’t know he was hiding this kind of ambition.’
Vermont He did not reveal his ambition for the throne from the beginning.
Rather, he treated patients in a stoic manner and built a reputation.
But was it all a mask to win the throne?
After the current king suffered from illness, he showed his true colors.
They started to blatantly expand their territory.
‘If only the current king, Rance V, was fine, Princess Jude wouldn’t have been in this situation.’
Raymond shook his head.
I thought about treating Rance V, but it was impossible.
Because he was an old man in the first place.
Lance V was over 80 years old, and by Leifentina standards, he was a tremendous old man. For reference, Vermont is now in his 60s, and the two brothers had an age difference.
“Meet the light of the kingdom of Houston. Looking at it this way, it seems that the rumors are not exaggerated.”
Vermont opened his mouth.
It was a polite yet somewhat cold voice.
A piercing gaze scanned Raymond.
‘Ugh, your eyes are brutal. He’s much scarier than Cairn.’
Raymond, like a timid man, pondered for a moment.
‘If you want to put Princess Jude on the throne, you’ll have to face that scary old woman. Will it be all right?’
It was not unusual from the momentum.
If Seytil was an idiot, Remerton was an idiot, and Cairn was a bumbling psychopath, that old man was like a terrifying serpent.
But Raymond shook his head.
It was not a situation where I would run away just because I was afraid.
Sophia’s life is at stake, and his life is at stake.
‘You won’t harm me, the crown prince of another country. In the worst case scenario, they would be detained briefly and then exiled. So let’s not be too scared.’
Yes, he was no longer a healer.
What a crown prince! Crown Prince Shield was guarding him.
Thinking that way made me feel more at ease.
Skills also helped.
[I want to confront the ‘devil’s cub’ for the sake of the patient!]
[The title effect of ‘Prince of Light’ is manifested!] [
The skills ‘Heart of Steel’ and ‘Doctor’s Charisma’ are manifested!]
Thanks to that, my chest is firm It was natural and charisma that was difficult to deal with easily came out.
Raymond’s sudden change of mood made Vermont’s eyes instantly glow.
Vermont, who had been watching Raymond for a while, opened his mouth.
“The reason I asked to see you like this is because I wanted to thank you. Something unpleasant was about to happen to the Crown Princess of the Kingdom of Bonn, but thanks to Your Highness, a great tragedy was prevented.”
Raymond frowned slightly.
‘I’ve been watching you all. But I didn’t show up at all, and suddenly I said thanks.’
The crown princess was in danger of dying, but only a double A-class palace healer was sent.
He left alone, the best healer in the kingdom, as well as another S-class healer, the chief healer.
It was obvious what Vermont was thinking.
‘He probably wanted Princess Jude to die. Then the next throne will be yours.’
Raymond woke up.
This wasn’t just a place to say thanks.
‘There’s something dark and ulterior motive.’
Indeed, Vermont said this.
“Today, the grace given by the prince will be rewarded at the kingdom level. I will declare your achievement this time to the entire Catal Kingdom and formally reward you in front of all the nobles at the World Banquet.”
“…!”
It was an amazing story.
If that word is followed, Raymond will be able to obtain tremendous fame and rewards.
But Raymond wasn’t happy.
It read Vermont’s true intentions.
‘I’m not trying to reward myself. It’s a social burial of Princess Jude.’
It was a suicide attempt.
What will happen to Princess Jude’s position if this incident spreads to the people of the kingdom and to the distinguished guests of other countries?
It was hard to even imagine.
Princess Jude will fall apart completely.
‘Because it’s officially confirmed and declared that he attempted suicide. It’s a shock that’s on a different level from simply spreading rumors behind the scenes.’
Raymond shook his head.
“sorry. I will reject that word.”
“Why?”
“Because I am a healer.”
“…!”
Raymond looked straight at Vermont.
The skills ‘Heart of Steel’, ‘Doctor’s Charisma’ and ‘Speech’ created a synergistic effect, and his voice was steadfast.
“This must be a big wound for Princess Jude. I don’t want to receive an award for the pain of a patient.”
“….”
Did he feel Raymond’s sincerity toward the patient?
A heavy silence fell in the hall.
Particularly, some nobles showed greatly impressed faces.
It was those who supported Princess Jude.
‘Such a heart. How could it be so deep and good?’
‘The rumors of Houston’s light weren’t exaggerated.’
They saw Raymond for the first time today.
I’ve only heard rumors.
I thought it was an exaggerated rumor, but isn’t it really like a light?
A halo seemed to shine from the graceful face and kind expression.
Thanks, the message popped up.
[Some of the nobles of the Catal Kingdom are impressed by your deep heart!]
[Fame rises!]
[Fame rises!]
Then Vermont opened her mouth.
It was still polite, but it sounded a little colder.
“However, when the kingdom has received such great favor, it cannot be passed over. This is something related to the face of the kingdom. I want them to be compensated even by reducing the scale.”
Raymond frowned.
It meant that they would somehow hold a reward ceremony and officially disgrace Princess Jude’s face.
‘Hmm what to do.’
Raymond was troubled.
It would be unwise to overstimulate Vermont at this point.
I couldn’t even accept that offer.
Then a message popped up.
[The opponent is doing ‘truthfulness’!]
[The opponent’s truthfulness is at the level of a ‘devil’s cub’!]
[‘Truth special skill: Feeding sweet potatoes!’ is manifested!]
Feeding sweet potatoes!
A method came to Raymond’s head.
It was a way to take advantage of him and give the bad guy a shot.
Raymond tilted his head on purpose and asked in an innocent voice as if he didn’t understand.
“You seem to have misunderstood something. Wouldn’t Princess Jude’s honor be much more important than such a reward?”
“…!”
It wasn’t a reprimanding tone.
Just like really curious. It was a voice that seemed to be for the patient.
“Of course, I know you thought of me and made that suggestion. However, since you are also a healer, I believe that you will understand that caring for the patient’s pain is more important than anything else.”
“….”
Vermont, who was openly stabbed to the point, couldn’t say anything more.
Of course, Raymond didn’t stop there.
‘But if there’s really no reward, I’m sad.’
“But if you still need to pay for it, you can give it in money.”
“…what did you say?”
Raymond played a moment of concern. Then he spoke with a face that was only for the sake of the patient.
“No matter where you go on the continent, there are many suffering patients. So this time, I established the Medical Angel Foundation, a donation foundation for them. If you really want to give something in return, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand did, as the old saying goes, just make a donation without anyone knowing.”
“….”
“Of course I don’t want a large sum. small…ten…No, I think two hundred thousand pennies will be enough.”
Raymond was going to pay one hundred thousand, but felt he was lacking something, so he hurriedly raised it to two hundred thousand.
Vermont kept his mouth shut.
Suddenly asking for 200,000 penas?
‘This guy?’
However, Raymond only had an infinitely innocent face.
Anyone can see that they really want donations for patients!
“That’s a little….”
“Will it be difficult?”
Raymond landed this decisive blow.
“Ha, that’s right. I thought that if you were the best healer in the Catal Kingdom, the Duke of Vermont, you would be willing to walk away from the difficulties of the patients.”
“…!”
“Of course, I think it was because of circumstances. However, it is painful because I have no choice but to watch the suffering of patients due to my lack of ability.”
Vermont gritted it.
The title of the best healer in the Catal Kingdom was a rebellion against him.
It is because he has built up a reputation as a healer and has risen to his current position.
However, he did not fully seize power. I still had to continue acting as a good healer.
So Raymond wants compensation for the patient. His face could not be ignored.
“…All right. As for the reward, Your Highness will do as you wish.”
“thank you!”
Raymond cheered inwardly.
‘It was great!’
Up to 100,000 pennies earlier. He would have made 300,000 pence in one night!
At this rate, becoming a super-rich by the time the work of the Catal Kingdom was finished was not a dream!
‘Did he really have to come to the Catal Kingdom?’
Raymond grinned and thought so, and Vermont turned and disappeared. That’s how the first meeting between the two ended.
Afterwards, nobles who supported Princess Jude flocked to Raymond and bowed their heads.
“I express my gratitude to Your Highness!”
“Your Highness saved Her Highness Princess Jude twice!”
twice.
I mean what just happened.
The nobles bowed their heads to Raymond with voices trembling with gratitude and emotion.
‘Good good.’
Raymond smiled inwardly.
These are all core nobles of the Catal Kingdom.
I will spread today’s good story well to other nobles.
‘But it’s still not enough. You have to take this opportunity to fully influence me.’
So, the nobles of the Catal Kingdom are the future guardians… …No, I had to make it a future customer.
