Doctor Player Chapter 287
Vermont urgently sought Estelle.
“Where is Saint Estelle?”
“I visited Lord Giren’s mansion.”
Giren is the chief therapist of the royal family, the closest person in Vermont, and his pregnant wife is about to give birth.
It was as if she had gone to bless the birth.
‘Now is the time to do it leisurely!’
Vermont got angry and ran to Giren’s mansion in one step.
“No sir?”
Giren was surprised and hit Vermont.
Since he ran right away, the news of the king’s passing has not yet spread.
“His Highness the King has passed away.”
“…!”
Giren’s eyes widened.
Vermont smirked and glared at Estelle, who was holding the hand of Gilen’s pregnant wife.
“Can I talk to this body for a moment, saint? Give me a place to talk about Giren.”
“Yes, I will.”
Vermont and Estelle entered the parlor that Gillen had prepared for them.
Once the two were together, Vermont immediately argued harshly.
“How did this happen?!”
Estelle asked calmly.
“Why is that?”
“Why is His Highness already dead! Didn’t I tell you that you were responsible for sustaining the king’s vitality!”
Estelle stared at Vermont in response to her harsh protest.
Estelle said at the moment Vermont flinched at the deep, penetrating, yet somehow cold eyes.
“Isn’t there anything bad about you?”
“…what?”
Estelle calmly continued her story.
“If time had passed like this anyway, it seems that there would be no hope for you.”
“…!”
Vermont kept his mouth shut.
Yes.
What would happen if time passed like this?
I don’t want to admit it, but Jude is a newly rising sun.
You will get more overwhelming support than now. There was a high possibility that his dreams would all come to nothing.
At least now, with the nobles still on his side, was his last chance.
“A week in which the state funeral will be held. Draw conclusions in it.”
“…!”
conclusion.
It was to dethrone Jude within it.
“Can’t you do enough?”
Vermont bit his lip.
yes you can
No, I had to do it.
“…We must call a meeting of the wands of light.”
Light Wand Meeting.
It was a meeting to convene all high-ranking healers.
Usually, the big and small issues of state affairs are discussed, but there was one more important function.
When the king succeeded to the throne after his death, it played a role in establishing the king’s authority.
Since the kingdom of Katal is a kingdom of healers, the king’s authority is completed when healers swear allegiance.
‘Usually, it’s just a nominal procedure, but in this case, it’s a different story.’
As the kingdom of Katal showed the power of healers, there were some abnormal systems that could not be understood from other kingdoms.
A typical example is the cardinal system.
And it was this Wand of Light meeting.
If all members of the wand committee refused to be loyal, the heir to the throne could not ascend the throne. The heir to the throne was dethroned and a new candidate had to be chosen.
It was an absurd system that other kingdoms could not understand.
Of course, there was also a device to prevent healers who would abuse this system. It was only when ‘all’ of the members refused to be loyal that a candidate for the throne could be dethroned.
If even one of the members sided with the royal family, it was impossible to dethrone.
Therefore, in a situation where the power of the royal family was strong, it was not a problem at all.
But when, as now, the cardinals have powers beyond royal power?
‘I can dethrone Crown Princess Jude by moving all the committee members.’
Vermont lowered his eyes.
‘I need to get a confirmation from the committee members right away.’
I was in a hurry.
Vermont hurriedly turned his back and disappeared.
so i didn’t see
What kind of eyes did Saint Estelle look at her back?
It was cold contempt.
* * *
“Did you talk?”
Giren said to Estelle.
“yes.”
“Anyway, thank you from the bottom of my heart for stepping into so many humble places.”
A visit from a prestigious saint before the birth of a child is considered a symbol of blessing.
For some reason, Estelle visited the mansion three times to bless Giren’s child.
‘It’s a shabby place.’
Estelle laughed and looked around the mansion.
shabby place.
It was an overly splendid mansion for such an expression.
As the second healer of the Catal Kingdom, Giren’s wealth was beyond imagination.
“Isn’t Giren also a famous saint?”
“Still, it’s nothing compared to His Highness.”
To be honest, Giren didn’t deserve to be called a saint.
Because, like Vermont, I saw patients for greed thoroughly. He was a typical money healer.
Giren himself was well aware of that fact.
But I didn’t care too much.
Everyone lives for their own greed. What’s wrong with that?
“Since we have received the blessing of the saintess, the future of our soon-to-be-born child will be bright.”
The irony is that although he is such a greedy man, he loves his family.
Estelle nodded and brought up an unfamiliar story.
“Do you believe in the curse of the gods?”
“…?”
Giren tilted his head at the unexpected story.
Curse of God.
Although it is used in various meanings, it usually means that a hideous disease occurs due to the wrath of God.
“well. I don’t believe it.”
He had never cared about anything like that in his whole life.
“okay. May God bless your future.”
“thank you.”
After leaving the mansion, Estelle’s face hardened coldly.
‘Now the die is cast.’
She looked up at the sky.
I don’t know if there will be any results.
It may turn out to be the worst than intended.
‘It’s all up to him now.’
Raymond, only his light can solve everything.
‘Please God bless him.’
And Estelle eagerly gave her second wind.
‘And please save me from my sins.’
Estelle wished so abominably.
Of course she knew.
The second wish won’t come true.
She won’t be saved in the end.
* * *
The king ascends and descends!
The air in the Katal Kingdom sank heavily.
It wasn’t particularly mourning the king.
Because he wasn’t a particularly popular king.
However, the people were afraid of what would happen in the future.
“What now? Is Her Highness, Crown Princess Jude ascending the throne?”
“well.”
Everyone knew the confrontation between Vermont and Jude.
Will Vermont stand still for Jude to ascend the throne?
What is certain is that a great storm will come.
The people held their breath, and the funeral was held in such a heavy atmosphere.
“….”
Jude proceeded with the director with an expressionless face.
As we can see in the case of Raymond, sharing blood does not create affection.
Rance V is the worst father ever.
Jude didn’t show much emotional agitation.
The future was more of a problem than that.
‘It’s the worst situation.’
Raymond swallowed.
‘Vermont is sure to move the wand commissioners to reject the oath of allegiance.’
The problem is that there is no way to stop it.
The high-ranking healers were thoroughly on Vermont’s side.
‘If only I had a little more time.’
Jude, who became a hero with Raymond, was gradually increasing his support.
If we had had a little more time, it would have been possible to recruit even the high-ranking healers.
But not now.
‘In the worst case, we may have to start a civil war.’
Raymond swallowed.
Jude is not only the people. It is also supported by the military.
Thanks to Raymond, he gained the loyalty of Lord Nahel and Boneslon.
So, even if Vermont played tricks, there was a last resort.
‘But it’s a bloody road. In the civil war, countless people will be sacrificed. I have to find another way.’
In the end, there was only one way.
‘I have to recruit one of the staff members.’
only one.
I was able to capture only one person.
Then Jude will be able to ascend the throne without problems.
‘Let’s think of a way.’
Raymond began to struggle.
* * *
Meanwhile, Vermont was putting on a troubled face.
“Is Giren not leaving the door?”
“Yes sir.”
“In such an important situation? Tell them to come right away!”
Gieren is second to the Vermont par.
However, the deputy chief healer shook his head awkwardly.
“I will not follow. Lord Giren is out of his mind right now.”
“…What happened?”
The deputy chief healer looked around and let out a small sigh.
“Lord Giren gave birth to a monster.”
“…what?”
Vermont’s face hardened.
monster.
It was said that the child Giren gave birth to had a terrible deformity.
“According to imperial law, a child born with a deformity must be sanctified within a week, so it seems insane.”
It was meant to be burned to death.
Vermont frowned.
I understand how you feel, but it wasn’t that important right now.
“Immediately ‘consecrate’ the monster and tell them to attend the meeting. right now!”
Vermont shouted loudly.
* * *
Hearing Vermont’s words, Gihren made a miserable face.
“Please wait.”
“but….”
“I didn’t ask you to wait!”
The deputy chief healer was startled.
Giren’s face was covered with tears.
In the end, he couldn’t speak any more and hung his head and disappeared.
“…damn it.”
Left alone, Giren bit his lip.
“Shit!”
A child’s cry could be heard from inside.
My heart felt like it would break.
‘Why is this happening to me?’
Giren looked up at the sky.
Suddenly, the words of Saint Estelle came to mind.
‘Do you believe in the curse of God?’
Did she know something?
At that time, Giren said he did not believe.
But this is what he thought.
‘Did God punish me for my mistakes?’
heel.
It is the power bestowed by heaven for human beings suffering from diseases.
However, healers used that power only for their own greed.
It was the same with Giren.
He had a stronger heel than anyone else, but only healed those who benefited from money.
Even when you beg your parents to save you.
Even when he knocks down his dying child and comes to visit him and cling to him.
all turned away
Maybe it was only natural that the sky was angry with him?
‘But isn’t that my fault? Why did you give this child such a terrible punishment? why?!’
Giren held the fern-like son’s hand and prayed earnestly.
‘please…please! I will do anything in the future, so only my children… …!’
Of course, Giren, a Saint-class healer, knew.
The deformities his son suffered could never be cured.
After all, he will have to burn my son, as he coldly declared to the other parent who gave birth to the monster.
Giren could now understand the feelings of the parents who heard the declaration.
‘iced coffee. Why did I do that? Please…please…God!’
