Doctor Player Chapter 235
Alfred, who was imprisoned, told everything.
He confessed that Cairn gave him the poison and instigated this incident behind the scenes.
‘They abetted the murder of the duke, so even a prince could hang himself.’
In fact, right now in the capital, the Royal Knights were putting Cairn in prison.
Cairn will be hanged on the gallows after going through the formalities.
“By the way, how are we going to punish him since His Highness is still unconscious?”
Under the law of the kingdom, only the king has the right to judge the royal family.
Not even acting king.
Only the king can do it.
‘It’s different from when I was in Seytil. Because this time the suspect is a member of the royal family.’
The problem is that we don’t know when King Auden will wake up.
I expected to wake up soon, but the duration continued to increase.
You can’t wait indefinitely. I had to find another way.
“There is one exception. You can raise an agenda to punish Cairn at the soon-to-be noble convention.”
Christine’s eyes widened.
Noble Tournament!
As a tradition passed down from the time of the founding king, it is a grand meeting where the top 30 nobles and royal families of the kingdom gather to decide the big and the small.
The agenda decided at this time cannot be overturned even by the king.
‘It’s a system to prevent the royal family from tyranny, so we can propose an agenda to punish the guilty royal family.’
In other words, it was the only way to punish the royal family without a king’s judgment.
“If I do that, I can execute Cairn.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Raymond nodded and thought.
‘I’m going to fall behind and leave the job of executing Cairn to Sophia.’
Raymond thought.
‘I have to make Sophia the Crown Princess.’
In fact, Raymond has been feeling a sense of crisis lately.
A sense of crisis that he might become the heir to the throne.
‘I don’t think I’ll be able to get over it easily by putting it off to Sophia.’
Raymond broke out in a cold sweat.
‘The voices supporting me are too loud.’
In fact, during the Seytil incident not too long ago, Raymond was startled.
How could he stand up with so many people for himself?
I originally knew that I was popular, but the heat was too much.
‘It’s not just the people. The momentum of the nobles supporting me is unusual.’
Looking back, the forces supporting him had grown without a joke.
First of all, his territory, the Lafalde region.
The faction of the Duke of Gallman in the center.
Duke of Leif in the South.
Marquis of Terne in the West.
And with this incident, even the Duke of Raeburn came to support him.
In fact, except for the northern part, most of the kingdoms were supported by nobles.
‘... ... How did it come to this?’
Raymond thought with a puzzled face.
He only tried to treat patients and earn money, but after a while, he became like this.
‘Of course, thinking about making money in the future, it would be nice to have a good relationship with the nobles.’
The problem was succession to the throne.
At this rate, the risk that he, other than Sophia, would become the heir to the throne was considerable.
‘no! I’m just going to become a honey-sucking healer and enjoy a movie of wealth and glory!’
As he thought last time, he had no intention of becoming king.
His goal is to become the best healer on the continent.
That’s why you enjoy the continent’s greatest wealth and honor.
‘Let’s not go out in front of more people. Now I’ll leave everything to Sophia.’
In that sense, this noble meeting was very important.
If Sophia killed Cairn in front of the kingdom’s nobles, it would make a strong impression.
You will be able to stamp your eyes in front of the nobles as the next king.
‘I have to be quiet for that to happen. Without revealing any presence.’
Raymond clenched his fists.
of the nobility convention.
It was the last hurdle.
If he passes that time well, he will be able to focus on becoming the best healer on the continent.
I shouted inwardly, expecting the path of becoming the continent’s best healer and the flower path of wealth and fortune that would unfold.
‘Sophia Fighting!’
Raymond got on the shutter phone with Christine.
He closed his eyes tightly trying to think about how to put Sofia on the throne and enjoy his wealth and glory, and the people of the duchy cheered at his solemn (?) appearance.
“He is the light of our Houston!”
“Thank you, Light!”
“Please shine light on Houston from now on!”
Behind the cheers, the phone flapped its wings.
That was how ‘they’ looked at Cairn.
‘Anyway, that’s a problem. I can’t give up the Houston kingdom like this.’
He was working on an important project as the ‘Maestro’ of the organization.
‘To complete the project, it is absolutely necessary to obtain the kingdom of Houston. The problem is that the situation is not easy.’
In particular, the biggest stumbling block was Raymond.
His ability was better than expected.
excessively.
‘Should I appease him?’
Maestro thought.
Accepting him as one of them would be a great help.
But he soon shook his head.
‘He’s a pure saint without any greed. I can’t be conciliated.’
If he had the greed he wanted like the others, they could provide for it.
A film that is unimaginable. Even the highest honor power.
Because they had enough power.
Unfortunately, however, they figured out that old Raymond was a true saint who cared only for others without any greed.
‘Sorry.’
‘Maestro’ clicked his tongue.
People like Raymond were the most difficult to deal with.
Because no compromises work for those who have blindness for the sake of others.
‘There is only one way to do this. I have to get rid of him.’
Actually, it wasn’t difficult.
Because their power wasn’t just ‘secret art’.
If you mobilize ‘physical’ power, you can get rid of Raymond and the like.
‘But it’s not a situation that can be solved by eliminating one of them.’
Cairn was too cornered. Even if Raymond is gone, he won’t be able to ascend the throne.
The Maestro was lost in thought, but soon smiled darkly.
“I guess we can aim for the grand meeting of nobles. Then we can kill all of Cairn’s opponents. In the guise of ‘God’s Wrath’.”
It was a terrifying story.
God’s Wrath.
A term used to describe a sudden disaster.
In other words, he intends to cause catastrophe by masquerading as ‘God’s Wrath’ during the aristocratic convention!
‘There is no way for Cairn to ascend the throne if it is not this way.’
Of course, I knew it was an overkill.
If things go wrong, the repercussions will be enormous.
‘I’ll have to be careful. You must succeed.’
The problem is, of course, Raymond.
He could have messed things up again.
‘The best thing to do is to prevent him from entering the arena of the noble convention when the wrath of God falls.’
The Maestro devised a nefarious ploy.
‘The next best thing is to not let him use any numbers when he arrives.’
He decided to use both methods.
If this is the case, even Raymond will never be able to prevent this disaster.
‘This will all end.’
He leaned back in his chair with a satisfied expression on his face.
I was relieved to think that the work of the Houston Kingdom, which had been bothering me so far, would be finished.
‘Next is the Katal Kingdom.’
He looked at the map.
Catalan Kingdom.
As an ally of the same Crusader Empire, it was a nation with a national power that was clearly ahead of the Houston Kingdom.
Unlike the other four countries, which are located in the southwestern part of the continent, it was located in the middle of the continent, in an area called the West Triangle.
As befits a country in the middle of the continent, it is a place with the same 4 medicines, but with national power far ahead.
‘More than the Houston Kingdom, it’s a place that’s important to the achievement of my project. I have to complete the project first before the ‘magician’ thing is going on in another part of the continent.’
It was a terrifying story.
It means that someone other than the Maestro is doing something similar somewhere on the continent.
‘If I succeed in the kingdom of Catal after the kingdom of Houston, I will finish a grand project. I will be able to receive a great prize.’
‘Maestro’ shuddered as he thought of the moment that would soon come.
* * *
Then, in another unexpected place, there were people talking about Raymond.
The eastern peninsula of the Crusader Empire.
It was the Peninsula Kingdom!
In a small port near Rapentel, the city of water, two figures with emerald eyes identical to Raymond’s were conversing.
“Do you have any guesses about the Marquis of Penin, Your Highness?”
The one who spoke was a young man with a familiar face.
Rashid!
He was a prince who had met Raymond the other day and was inquiring about Raymond’s identity.
“hmm.”
The person in front was an old man.
Kale.
As one of the oldest elders of the Ristein family, he was the most knowledgeable person in the secret history related to the royal family.
“I have a guess.”
