Doctor Player Chapter 149
“… … That’s right.”
-Now is the time to reap the seeds that have been sown. Has it already been 15 years since the first seeds were planted in the Houston kingdom? It was at that time that I gave the collaborator the means to kill Crown Prince Python.
It was an incredible conversation.
Python was a promising crown prince of Houston Kingdom.
It was said that he died accidentally, which meant that they were involved in his death.
-But Raymond, an illegitimate son, gets caught. It’s been rising in a frightening mood lately.
“… … .”
– No, it doesn’t matter much. He will become the lord of the Lafalde region, and when ‘Pandora’s Box’ opens and a disaster begins, he will suffer a misfortune along with the people.
The opponent inside the crystal ball spoke leisurely.
-Of course, looking at what you did during the war, it seems that you have pretty outstanding ancient knowledge. Even so, he wouldn’t be able to prevent a disaster from happening in the Rafalde region. He will perish, regarding becoming the lord of Lafalde as the worst misfortune of his life.
Then she asked cautiously.
“What if Raymond solves the problems that will arise in the Lafalde region?”
– Hmm?
The opponent in the crystal ball burst into laughter.
– What are you? You’re not expecting something like that, are you?
“… … .”
The hypocritical saint bit her lip.
Yes.
In fact, she was hoping that Raymond would prevent a disaster from happening in the Lafalde region.
To the subject who directly planted the disaster.
It was a nasty wind.
-If he really prevents disaster, things will get complicated. Because he will become the greatest hero of Houston Kingdom again.
The opponent inside the crystal ball said quietly.
– In addition to being a war hero, it is also the best achievement, so at that time, the kingdom of Houston’s succession to the throne may be shaken. It’s not a very good situation for us.
The other person who had spoken up to that point shook his head.
-Of course, that’s an assumption that won’t happen.
With that, the communication ended.
The saintess of hypocrisy let out a deep sigh and looked to the north.
Disaster will begin in the Borison estate in the Rafalde region.
‘I wish that Raymond would make a miracle happen.’
She made a bitter face.
Like the other person said earlier, I thought that I was disgusting.
She was truly a ‘saint of hypocrisy’.

‘Why do my ears itch so much?’
Raymond dug his ears.
“master?”
“Oh, my ears are itchy. Who is telling my story?”
I said it without thinking, but Hanson answered.
“It could be. No, it definitely will.”
“huh?”
“Because Master is the greatest hero of this war. Everyone in Houston Kingdom must be praising the Master.”
Then he made a serious face.
“As a disciple, I am proud and happy to be able to serve such a great master.”
“Me too, Master! I respect you.”
At the words of Hanson and Linden, Raymond looked bewildered.
‘I am a war hero. I don’t really feel it, but… … .’
Still, they weren’t wrong.
he was a hero
It also completely ended the war.
The respectful gazes of the soldiers accompanying him proved that fact.
Raymond felt a little choked up.
‘To think that I, who was always despised for being an illegitimate child, became a hero.’
He clenched his fists.
‘I’m not going to stop here. I’ll get an even greater honor and make sure no one ignores me.’
He won’t stop until his name spreads throughout the continent of Ley Pentaina.
It was a moment of commitment.
“Looks like we’ve almost arrived, brother. You can see the main unit over there.”
Rao said.
Now they are on their way back to Houston Kingdom after their last fight.
Because they operated separately, they decided to join the main force of the Houston Kingdom Army in the middle.
However, there was something strange about the appearance of the main unit in the distance.
“what?”
Raymond tilted his head.
‘Why are the soldiers lined up?’
Raymond frowned.
A lot of soldiers came out and lined up.
As if they were about to go into battle, their military discipline was extremely strict.
‘what? Are the remnants of Archduke Berard resisting?’
It was when I was puzzled.
Duke Leif came to Raymond’s side.
For reference, Duke Rife successfully underwent a second esophageal surgery. Since then, he has received Raymond’s intensive treatment and has a much recovered face.
“Looks like I’m waiting for you.”
“yes?”
“That is not a formation for battle. It is a ceremonial line for the highest honor. It must be waiting for you.”
Raymond made a puzzled face.
“… … I hope.”
“right.”
Duke Leif said firmly.
“Because you are the hero who saved Houston Kingdom. You deserve an example like that.”
But Raymond couldn’t believe it.
So many soldiers lined up because of you?
It’s a tremendous formation that would only be shown when the king is greeted, right?
No, on the contrary, the strictness of military discipline surpassed that of meeting the king.
Who would do it with a sincere heart when preparing a line for the ceremony? You are forced to do it because you are ordered from above.
But this time was different.
All the soldiers formed this formation with sincere gratitude and respect for Raymond.
The spirit of reverence for Raymond exuded by the soldiers could be clearly felt even from a distance.
And finally, it was the moment when Raymond stood in front of them.
“All troops!”
The brilliant silver-haired knight raised his sword and raised his voice.
It was Marquis Aris, the leader of the Royal Guard!
“According to His Highness the King’s command, salute the hero of Houston Kingdom!”
“insect!”
All the soldiers firmly stuck their spearheads into the ground. It was a sign of respect.
thud!
A heavy vibration shook the ground.
after.
“Waaaaaaa!”
“Long live Raymond!”
“Majesty Raymond!”
A cheer that seemed to leave echoed through the sky.
“… … .”
Raymond was so heartbroken that he couldn’t say anything.
Everyone in the kingdom was calling out his name.
I’ve never heard a shout before, but never on a scale like this.
Who else in the history of the kingdom has been honored like this?
An uncontrollable feeling came over me.
And then, in the midst of the shouts, a person rode a horse and came forward.
A sharp appearance and a body that seems thinner than before.
It was King Auden!
Raymond and the others hurriedly got off their horses and knelt in front of the king.
“Meet Your Highness the King!”
“Raise your head.”
In an instant, the eyes of Raymond and King Auden met.
pounding.
Why?
is it hate? Is it anger? Or is it a different feeling?
Raymond felt his heart quiver for reasons unknown.
Raymond bit his lip to contain his emotions.
“… … .”
The two rich men just looked at each other for a while without saying anything.
The silence was prolonged because King Auden did not open his mouth.
‘… … Why are you just watching?’
Raymond made a puzzled face.
It was uncomfortable.
I want to hurry up and have a formal talk and end this meeting, but Oden just stared at him in silence.
Raymond didn’t notice because he wasn’t in a hurry, but Oden’s eyes looked somehow complicated.
Raymond clenched his fists.
The longer the silence, the louder the vibration in the chest.
“Please tell me.”
Eventually, Raymond opened his mouth to break the uncomfortable silence.
“Although he is lacking in body, he returned by defeating the enemy and making a contribution for the kingdom of Houston. I will take your word.”
It didn’t mean anything special.
An idiomatic phrase usually given to a monarch by a victorious knight.
But those words shook Auden’s heart.
It reminded me of what Raymond had said earlier.
‘I will prove it through this war. I, a humble illegitimate child, will proudly prove that I can serve the kingdom of Houston just as well as my noble bloodlines.’
There was a crack in Auden’s eyes.
After some heavy silence.
“I know your balls well.”
“… … !”
And Auden said.
“Good job, my proud servant.”
* * *
The vision of that day caused a great stir.
Because it was an overly unconventional welcome.
“No matter how big the ball is, it’s too much!”
“The whole army is out. To think that His Highness the King himself even congratulated him. Where is this the case?”
A voice like this rang out.
But it was not a loud voice.
In the first place, today’s welcome was the voluntary will of the soldiers.
‘When Baron Penin returns, shouldn’t we greet him with gratitude?’
‘okay! It’s all thanks to him that we were able to be safe like this!’
‘I have to do an improvement ceremony to suit him.’
Such a story spread throughout the barracks, and after Marquis Aris heard the story, he proposed it to King Auden and approved it.
Therefore, it was the supporters of some nobles and princes who were dissatisfied.
In particular, those following the 3rd Prince Remerton, whose position has shrunk due to this mistake, raised their voices the most.
On the other hand, those following the 4th Prince, Seytil, were surprisingly quiet.
‘Since Prince Seitil is now completely out of the right to succeed to the throne.’
The nobles clicked their tongues as they saw Seytil hanging her head in the corner of the barracks.
‘Duke Raif withdrew his support.’
Another shocking thing happened today.
Seytil had made a fuss with Raymond, but Duke Rife, who was by his side, was outraged.
‘How long are you going to do such immature things?’
‘A foreign uncle?’
‘Who is your maternal uncle? I’ve never had a nephew as immature as you.’
Duke Leif looked at Raymond after making a face that he was fed up with Seytil’s actions.
‘Baron Pennin is a great man who cannot be compared to the likes of you. Be careful with your words and actions from now on.’
Then, Duke Leif said firmly.
‘I won’t waste any more time cleaning up after you. From now on, I will spend the rest of my life repaying the kindness I received from Baron Penin.’
The meaning of Duke Leif’s words was that he would take Raymond as his disciple and teach him with all his heart and soul in order to repay the favor.
Because that was the way he repaid the bone marrow knight!
However, the nobles who did not know the meaning were greatly shocked.
It was a declaration that would bring about an enormous stir in the political world.
I heard that Duke Raif, the most powerful man in the military, declared that he would support Raymond, not Seytil, from now on!
Seytil’s situation, on the other hand, was completely pitiful.
