#Doctor Player #352
I wondered if I was reading it wrong, but I didn’t.
‘How can I stop the war! I don’t even know what cities are in the Free Cities Alliance!’
I didn’t even like the perks.
A saint of poverty to him!
‘Why am I a saint of poverty! I’ll become a golden saint!’
the moment you think so.
A thought popped into my mind.
‘…If I don’t stop the war, I’ll become a real poor saint.’
Right now, his only outlet was the Free Cities Alliance.
However, a large-scale war put an end to the dream of making money in the Free Cities Alliance.
Come to think of it, it wasn’t anyone else’s business.
For his future, this war must be stopped.
‘how?’
Raymond looked closely at the contents of the quest.
The difficulty level was ‘high’.
It’s hard to swear, but it’s possible anyway.
In other words, this war can be prevented with his ability.
‘Is medicine the key?’
For a moment, Raymond came up with an assumption.
‘Could Archduke Mishelt’s serious illness have anything to do with this war?’
It seemed that the correct judgment could be made by hearing the circumstances directly.
“I will go to the family of Grand Duke Gaebolg.”
The group nodded.
“I was already preparing.”
“Get on quickly, Master!”
“I will protect you!”
Of course, thinking that Raymond would go out like this, Raymond got mad at the disciples who had finished all the preparations in advance.
‘I’m a safety first! Aaaaa!’
I wanted to grumble, but the phone started flying and I closed my eyes and screamed inwardly.
Of course, Raymond’s appearance is, as always, a masterpiece!
It was the image of a saint going to save the Free Cities Alliance.
That’s how Raymond arrived at the Grand Duchess of Gaebolg.
* * *
Whether the name of the Free Cities Alliance is not a lie, the Grand Duchess of Gaebolg was arrogant.
‘This is just a royal palace.’
It was not even comparable to the royal castles of the Houston Kingdom or the Catal Kingdom.
The capital of the Peninsula Kingdom was also not enough compared to the Grand Duke of Gaebolg.
However, the atmosphere was somber, probably because the war was ahead.
The whole city was in a state of tension.
“His Highness Prince Raymond of the Peninsula Kingdom?”
The knight guarding the Grand Duchess of Gaebolg asked with questionable eyes.
“That’s right. I have come to treat Your Highness the Archduke.”
“hmm.”
The knight frowned.
Looking at Raymond’s emerald eyes, he didn’t seem to doubt that he was a member of Peninsula royalty.
But did you suddenly come to heal the family lord?
“Did the deputy head of household invite you?”
“It is not. instead.”
Raymond handed over a business card.
It was Lady Rose’s business card.
“This person commissioned me.”
The driver did not recognize the business card.
“rose? It’s someone you don’t know. Let’s check the above. Please wait in the drawing room for a moment.”
How long has it been since then?
Suddenly there was a crackling sound!
“Are you the one invited by Law Rose? Where are you?”
The door opened and a middle-aged man appeared.
‘Who is that man?’
Raymond rolled his eyes in surprise.
It was a face that even Raymond, who was ignorant of the Free Cities Association, knew.
The middle-aged man turned his head around, saw Raymond, and quickly approached him.
“Are you the one sent by Rose?”
“…Ah yes. My name is Raymond de Huston Ristein of the Crusader Empire.”
Raymond used both royal surnames to introduce himself.
The man rolled his eyes in amazement.
He said, holding Raymond’s hand.
“My name is Thorn. Nice to meet you.”
“…!”
This time it was Raymond’s turn to surprise.
Again, the giant he guessed was right.
Thorn.
It was the name of the heir to the Grand Duke of Gaeborg.
The second highest figure in the Grand Duke of Gaeborg appeared in person.
* * *
“This is Crown Prince Raymond of the Crusader Empire. Thank you for coming a long way for the family head.”
Thorn was the acting head of the family, leading the Grand Duke of Gaeborg in place of the fallen Grand Duke Mishelt.
The second son and successor of Archduke Mishelt.
Like the first impression, he warmly welcomed Raymond and his party.
‘Doesn’t he have a kind impression unlike a person from the Gaebolg family who has no blood or tears?’
Since he was the successor of the famous Grand Duke of Gaebolg, I thought he would be a scary person, but he wasn’t at all.
On the contrary, he looked like a scholar with a soft impression.
“If it is the kingdom of Houston…It is a kingdom of knights located in the southwest of the Crusader Empire. I am so grateful that a precious person with the lineage of the Houston and Peninsula royals is here.”
Having said that, Thorne asked cautiously.
“Did you come at Rose-sama’s request?”
“Yes, Lady Rose asked me to treat Her Highness Archduke Mishelt.”
“…okay. Rose-sama asked for a favor. That’s amazing.”
Raymond sensed something out of place in Thorne’s expression.
‘Is it Rose?’
Thorn is the direct son of Archduke Mishelt.
On the other hand, Rose said that she was the only granddaughter of Archduke Mishelt.
In other words, in terms of relationship, Rose was Thorn’s niece.
By the way, do you use that title?
That title had one meaning.
Rose’s status is not lower than that of Thorne.
‘If you are the heir to the Gaebolg Grand Duchess, you are in a higher position than most royalty. What is the identity of Lady Rose?’
Then Soren asked.
“Excuse me, but what is your relationship with Rose-sama?”
Raymond pondered over the answer.
“…It is a trading relationship.”
“A deal?”
Since it was the relationship between the debtor and the debtor, it was a transactional relationship.
“Yes, I am getting a lot of help.”
“Um…okay.”
Thorn smiled awkwardly, and Raymond questioned Rose’s identity even more.
“Lady Rose and the Grand Duchess of Gaeborg….”
“you’re right. Rose is my sister’s blood relative.”
Soren only answered that.
But he didn’t give any more details. Raymond couldn’t ask more.
I didn’t seem to be able to answer any questions.
‘It’s not an urgent matter.’
Regarding Rose, I decided to ask later when I saw the opportunity, and brought up a more important story in the current situation.
“I heard that there was a sudden war on the way, is that correct?”
“Ah yes. you’re right.”
Thorne made a dark face.
“It all happened because I was lacking.”
“yes?”
“They declared war against my succession to the Grand Duke.”
It was an unexpected story.
Thorn continued his explanation.
“I was not originally an heir. My eldest brother was going to carry on the family line. However, my eldest brother tried to rebel against my father, was discovered, and was deposed, and I took over the position.”
“Then why did those cities declare war?”
I asked because I didn’t understand.
Thorn replied bitterly.
“When my father suddenly collapsed and was about to die, I stood up and said that I could not accept being the chairman of the Round Table Committee. The head of the Gaeborg Grand Duchess is supposed to serve as the representative of the Round Table Committee from generation to generation.”
Thorne continued.
“Of course, it’s just a superficial reason, and it’s to break the power of the Grand Duke of Gaebolg, whose father fell unexpectedly and is in chaos. Besides, they just happened to have a good cause.”
“The cause?”
“The eldest brother who fled after failing to rebel has appeared.”
Raymond understood the whole story.
“So you joined hands with the cities that declared war.”
“That’s right. They started a war claiming that I should be kicked out and my eldest brother, who had been kicked out unfairly, should be established as the Grand Duke of Gaebolg.”
Thorn let out a deep sigh.
“They wouldn’t have dared to do this had it not been for my father’s sudden, unexpected fall into serious condition. It all happened because I was lacking.”
Raymond kept his mouth shut.
In summary, the traitor kicked out after Archduke Mishelt fell joined hands with other cities and started a war.
“I thought about stepping down, but if that happens, the Gaebolg family will surely be torn apart by their claws, so I can’t do anything about it. How much blood will be shed in this war. ha.”
It was a heartfelt lament for the people.
The atmosphere in the drawing room became heavy.
The situation was serious.
‘…But if it’s a problem like this, isn’t the solution simple?’
Raymond narrowed his eyes.
The root cause of this situation was the unexpected fall of Archduke Mishelt.
If Mishelt, the so-called Iron Lord, was alive and well, they wouldn’t have dared to cause such a situation.
If Mishelt recovers, this situation can be resolved.
The question is, what is Archduke Mishelt’s condition now?
If I was in a state where I could easily recover, this kind of sadal wouldn’t have happened.
“Are the details of the Archduke very important?”
“All of your top Saints said there was no hope.”
Raymond’s face hardened.
There are many excellent healers in the Free Cities Alliance.
‘Especially, I know that the Crimson Saint is a member of the Free Cities Alliance, right?’
Crimson Saint!
He was an Ex-class healer with only three on the continent.
The best healer on the continent, along with the Holy King of the Holy Kingdom and the Brilliant Saint of the Crusader Federation Empire.
A crimson saintess like that would be able to cure pretty much any serious condition, right?
Thorne answered that question.
“The crimson saint refused treatment. Of course, I made excuses for other reasons.”
“…yes?”
“She is more of a monarch than a healer. Although he did not declare war, he refused to treat his father because it would benefit him if the Grand Duke of Gaebolg weakened.”
Raymond kept his mouth shut.
Come to think of it, the crimson saintess was one of the members of the round table.
He is one of the seven monarchs leading the Free Cities Alliance.
‘If the Grand Duchess of Gaebolg becomes weak, he will see a return benefit, but he still refuses to treat patients.’
Raymond made a complicated face.
Of course, I heard the story.
The crimson saintess treats patients only when there is political gain.
‘Anyway, the Free Cities Alliance is a jungle no less than the Crusader Empire.’
Raymond shook his head.
“Then have you tried any other treatment besides a normal heel? I heard that you are researching various new treatments in your country.”
The Alliance of Free Cities is said to be developing their own unique cure combined with magic.
Thorn shook his head bitterly.
“After you have already tried everything. The highest level healers, as well as the highest authority on the new treatment, tried to cure it, but only worsened the details.”
Thorn said heavily.
“Anyway, you’ve come a long way, but you’ve walked in vain. sorry.”
