To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor Chapter 268

Episode 268 Banquet with the Princess (4)

Ray was escorted from the old annex to the luxurious special room annex.

After eating good food and having plenty of time to take a nap, the emperor of the Lessian Empire was not envious.

I was lazy in my room all day like that, and I felt the presence of people outside.

Two mighty spirits and a weak one.

They wandered for a while in front of the door.

To him, who already had an excellent sense of humor, it was clear to see him fidgeting and twisting his body here and there.

I don’t know what’s going on, but I hate pretending to know.

‘Let’s not worry about it. It’ll be a headache if you get involved.’

Thinking about it, I felt at ease.

For more than thirty minutes, I couldn’t help but pay attention to twisting my body like a twist on the other side of the door.

Take a deep breath and let out a sigh.

Now that’s not enough, he lowers his head, listens, and shakes his head like a rock vocalist.

Are they protesting in front of the room?

Ray, whose patience had reached its limit, finally opened the door.

Then, there were Princess Celestia, who stiffened while reproducing heavy metal, and two royal knights who were looking at it with pity.

If you’re at the level of a princess, can you disturb other people’s naps in such a bizarre way?

Ray frowned and said.

“What are you doing there? Is that a newly developed voodoo technique?”

Celestia hurriedly straightened her posture.

He clears his throat and slips his long hair over his shoulder.

“It’s a coincidence.”

Coincidence is nothing but coincidence for the subject of a black magic ritual held in front of the door for nearly an hour.

As Ray tried to close the door, she grabbed the doorknob impatiently.

“I came here to talk about this.”

“I’m not buying it.”

“It’s not about money!”

“Because I don’t live!”

The two argued in front of the door for a while.

* * *

Eventually Ray let them into the room.

Even if it was the princess, it was because she felt very sorry for the knights behind her, whose faces were stained red with shame.

If you look at it like this, the royal knight is also a fairly extreme job.

Ray, who had just gotten into the car, put it down on the table and said,

“What are you talking about?”

What on earth did you do black magic in broad daylight in front of someone else’s room to talk about?

Then Celestia hesitated again.

“….”

I tried to say something, but I shut my lips, and I tried to say something again, but I shut my mouth.

When that was repeated three times, the frustration became Ray’s share.

Unable to overcome the frustration, he pounded his chest.

“Oh my gosh. What is it? You have to know something to react.”

When Ray frowned, Celestia flinched and opened her mouth.

“That’s it… His Majesty the King rejected the Holy Son’s opinion that he would not accept marriage talks.”

“yes?”

“If we talk about it, it will be longer… But first, let’s meet…” As she

said, her face went red up to her ears.

“Heh heh heh.”

This isn’t some kind of blind date, but something to meet and think about!

Ray shook his head.

“The King must have been full because the trade has been going well these days. I have to go see your face sometime.”

“…Since I am no longer a saint, I will not be able to have an audience with Your Majesty.”

It was.

I was no longer a saint.

Well, it’s not that there’s no way to meet them, though.

When I was thinking about whether I should risk the trouble and open a game, Celestia spoke again.

“So I didn’t think that was the case, so I said that too. Then he told me to stay close for a month…”

At her words, Ray thought for a moment.

“One month…”

Not a bad deal for one month.

The fact that the king also took a month’s time means that he has that much confidence, but once that period is over, there will be less bothersome things anymore.

In addition, the adventurer’s guild’s request was quite difficult.

Due to her nature as a healer, she will be caught in the dirtiest and toughest of them, but she, who grew up well in the royal family, will not be able to endure it.

There was a high possibility that he would become exhausted and fall apart.

After clearing up her thoughts, Ray nodded.

“great. A month may not be short, but it will be fine.”

Celestia was rather surprised when the consent was easier than expected.

“Are you serious?”

“I think even the King will understand it in a month. Let’s hold on to each other.”

As he spoke, Ray held out his hand.

“…”

Celestia’s heart throbbed at the words of enduring well so as not to get married.

Obviously, marrying a man you don’t know is not what you want.

So, what is this unknown pain?

She held Ray’s hand, not trying to express the unpleasant heartbeat.

“…have a good day.”

* * *

The day gradually got darker and soon it was night, and a grand banquet was held.

Aristocrats came with colorful costumes and accessories hanging in clusters as if to show off.

Not wanting to lose to him, Viscount Gade personally delivered the clothes to Ray by having a maid.

The lady-in-waiting politely handed over the garment, and Ray accepted it.

At first glance, it is a luxurious texture.

There is a small pattern on the chest, but the overall design is simple.

I like it more than any other clothes that are just flashy for no reason.

“You seem to still be concerned about the annex. To even prepare the clothes yourself.”

Contrary to his thoughts, Viscount Gade completely forgot about the old annex incident.

Now this is just one way to make him stand out.

However, Ray, who did not know that, could only think that Viscount Gade paid more attention to his apologetic heart.

Wearing a neat banquet dress in black, it fit perfectly, as if it had been tailored for him.

Just in time for all the clothes to be changed, a lady-in-waiting came to guide them.

The lady-in-waiting, who was stunned for a moment, lowered her head hurriedly.

“Excuse me. We will guide you to the banquet hall.”

“please.”

Upon arriving at the banquet hall guided by the lady-in-waiting, Viscount Gade greeted him.

“The clothes fit you very well.”

“I only had loose leather clothes, so thank you. I will wear it well.”

“ha ha ha. I’m glad if it suits you. Come on inside.”

Ray followed the viscount’s guidance and entered the banquet hall.

The sweet performance of the musicians and the sweet scent wafting from the sachet fill the venue.

Around Princess Celestia, who arrived first, there were many aristocratic children, just like yesterday.

“The princess is still beautiful today.”

“Even in such a splendid place, his presence does not fade, so it is not enough to call it a single flower. ha ha ha.”

“It’s an overstatement.”

The nobility’s women, who watched the princess smiling slightly among the various children, felt quite bitter.

Usually, if it was like any other banquet, they should have been there.

If there is a princess, the story is different.

Celestia, who is here, is the most beautiful woman in the royal castle, and at the same time a princess who is favored by the king.

There was, of course, a difference in class between her as a member of the royal family and herself as a daughter of a noble family.

An absolute position where you can’t carelessly talk to them or ignore them.

That’s why you can’t belittle or curse in private.

While the women were struggling inwardly, someone walked in from outside the lobby.

Stretched shoulders and powerful steps.

There was something mysterious about her white hair and her blue eyes that looked like she was looking at the vast sea.

Just a walking figure.

If there was only one of them, all eyes in the audience were focused on the entrance.

The aristocrats who had been happily talking until just now lose their words and even their children who were dancing are mesmerized.

“Half elf…”

The silence was broken by someone’s murmur.

The eyes of the women who were looking at him became hazy.

There were also a few who mustered up the courage to speak out.

A woman with short blond hair approached.

“nice to see you. My name is Lee Rin of the Viscount Bald.”

“Nice to meet you, Lady Lee Rin.”

“Would you like to have a drink together?”

As he speaks, he hands over a glass of wine.

Of course, he brought me a drink, but it wasn’t Ray who disliked it.

As he readily accepted it and took a sip, the women around him also gathered one by one.

Celestia, who watched the saint from afar, bit her lower lip.

Drinking with a charming smile, she saw nothing but wandering around surrounded by women.

‘Sometimes they say they don’t think about women!’

Even though I have said that I have no intention of getting married, I have never said that I have no intention of getting married.

Besides, even if she didn’t get restless, nothing would cause Celestia to worry.

Aira is next to him.

Since I grew up watching her from a young age, the level of my eyes was very high.

Ordinary-looking aristocratic women feel similar to a warm-hearted lady in the neighborhood.

Knowingly or not knowingly, that relaxed appearance scratched Celestia’s insides even more.

She apologized to her children and approached Ray.

As the princess approached, the women were taken aback and distanced themselves little by little.

Celestia said with a rather cold look.

“Here you are. He didn’t talk to me when he came, so I wondered if he hadn’t come to the banquet hall yet.”

“I left it because it looked busy talking to other people.”

“You look pretty good for that.”

“A banquet that you can’t enjoy is a banquet? There is even food in the music, which is of course good.”

Words are always clearing water.

Celestia rolled her eyes at his words that escaped here and there.

“You know? You have to stick with me for a month.”

“I know.”

“Then don’t leave me.”

“You can’t see that we’ve been separated when we’re in the same banquet hall. Or are you saying that I should follow you around?”

At his words, Celestia waved her hand.

“Ah, I’m not going to do it that much anyway. Even though we are royalty, we were the ones who made unreasonable demands.”

“So what?”

There’s nothing left to ask and listen to.

I’m sure I’m not officially dating him, and it’s not a strange sight to talk to women at a banquet.

Besides, wasn’t he also talking to his children?

However, I couldn’t stay still because of the heat of the question spreading in my heart.

‘Still, there was marriage talk… Am I the only one conscious of it?’

As she sulked, Eight, who had been watching him from a distance, gnashed her teeth.

‘This bastard, your arrogance ends there.’

He touched the small bottle and his eyes lit up.
