Doctor Player Chapter 389
‘I don’t know if a saint of brilliance is lacking, but he’s a person who doesn’t lack even if he’s the greatest saint in the Crusader Empire.’
In other words, this is like a battle between a giant and an old man, a fight that cannot be won even if you struggle to win.
The chances of him ascending the throne were extremely slim. Unless a miracle happens.
Thinking that far, Raymond made a decision.
This is an ‘opportunity’ not to be missed!
He nodded his head with a serious face.
“All right. I am lacking in body, but I will try my best.”
“Really?”
Princess Fione widened her eyes and bowed her head to Raymond.
“thank you. thank you!”
It wasn’t just empty words, it was a genuinely thrilled voice.
In fact, Pione was very nervous when she brought up the story.
‘Why do you think you hate it so much?’
Originally, Phione assumed that Raymond would accept the offer.
why?
Raymond is such a great man.
A saint so noble as to be foolish to think only of others.
However, when I brought up the story, it seemed that I had heard a very unpleasant story.
– Why am I doing such a troublesome thing?
With this expression, Fione almost doubted Raymond again.
However, her thoughts were just a hasty misunderstanding.
Raymond’s sublimity was real.
However, Raymond told an unexpected story.
“There is one condition.”
“What is it?”
“I want to move according to my will before the election period for the throne. Whatever I do, please trust me.”
period of election to the throne.
It refers to the period from when the previous emperor stepped down until the next emperor is decided.
In the meantime, those elected as candidates will stay in the ‘Ecliptic’ and prove that they are suitable for the throne.
It had some similarities with the election campaigns conducted by the Free Cities Association.
‘I wonder if it’s an election campaign in the style of the Crusader Empire?’
The only difference is that while the Free Cities Alliance campaigns for citizens, the Crusader Empire campaigns for key figures in each country.
It could also be called a political and diplomatic election campaign.
Of course, Raymond had no intention of doing that.
‘Why do I do such a bother? I have no intention of ascending to the throne anyway.’
So what is Raymond going to do?
‘I have to earn money to go to the imperial city.’
ecliptic!
It is truly the center of the Crusader Federation Empire.
It could be said that if the Empire was conquered (?) following the Peninsula Kingdom, the healing system of the Crusader Empire would fall completely into Raymond’s hands.
‘Especially if you go as a candidate for the throne, it will be easy to meet many important people. I should use this opportunity to build up a lot of personal connections and build a foundation to make money.’
The more I thought about it, the worse it seemed.
Because the emperor wanted to go anyway.
Originally, his goal in life is to become the best healer on the continent.
To be more precise, his goal in life is to become the richest person on the continent using medicine.
The Peninsula Kingdom is an important stopover on the way to that goal.
The ecliptic is also the final destination.
‘If I conquer the ecliptic, I can say that most of my dreams come true!’
Of course, some may have doubts about Raymond’s idea.
Isn’t it possible to earn enough money in the Peninsula Kingdom?
It was. Things are going well in the Free Cities Alliance, and we’ve laid the groundwork for that.
Sales of anti-wrinkle products for hair loss treatment.
And even free trade rights.
‘The problem is Grand Duke Gideon.’
Raymond frowned.
‘Whoever you choose as the crown prince, you have to talk well with Grand Duke Gideon.’
Currently, the most powerful person in the Peninsula Kingdom is Grand Duke Gideon.
Raymond also suddenly became a powerful force, but he fell one step short of Grand Duke Gideon.
‘But now it’s not to the extent of being pushed back like in the past. Fortunately, it’s enough to roughly balance the forces.’
Raymond’s blueprint for the Peninsula Kingdom was like this.
First of all, Archduke Gideon also appoints a person who agrees as the next crown prince.
And Raymond is supporting the crown prince.
Being a candidate for the throne did not mean that the foundation Raymond had built in the Peninsula Kingdom would disappear.
On the contrary, Raymond would hold onto the foundation he had built for the Peninsula Kingdom.
why?
Because I have to use that foundation to make money in the Peninsula Kingdom.
Anyway, whoever decides to be the new king, Raymond will support that person.
Then, the new king and Grand Duke Gideon will balance the forces and the political situation of the Peninsula Kingdom will naturally stabilize.
‘If that’s the case, I’ll be able to make money in the Peninsula Kingdom in a stable way. The Peninsula Kingdom will be the goose that lays my cash cow’s golden eggs!’
It was clear that if he conquered the ecliptic as well, Raymond would really become the richest person on the continent.
It’s a dream come true!
He was happy just by imagining it. Raymond made an ecstatic face.
‘To do that, I need to finish the conversation with Grand Duke Gideon first. Grand Duke Gideon won’t be bad for me to be a candidate for the throne, so I won’t object.’
Raymond sat down and picked up a pen.
With the utmost sincerity, he intended to ask Archduke Gideon for a secret meeting.
But just as I was about to write the letter, something unexpected happened.
[Meow.]
Mien came in through the window and had a letter in her mouth!
[A letter has arrived.]
“A letter?”
[Yes, Prince. It was a secret letter from a person from the Peninsula Kingdom to Your Highness.]
Raymond made a puzzled face.
There were no words written on the envelope of the letter.
I tilted my head and checked the contents inside, but there was a surprising phrase written on it.
[I request a private meeting with Your Highness.
-Gideon.]
* * *
Archduke Gideon requested a meeting first!
Raymond wondered.
‘Why is Archduke Gideon?’
Hey Raymond, I was going to meet Archduke Gideon because I had regrets, but as Archduke Gideon, there must be no reason to meet Raymond?
But I soon found out the answer.
Letters were sent to Raymond.
[Dear Great Raymond. – Viscount Khadmun.]
[To Your Greatness Raymond. -Baron Locron.]
Raymond was surprised to see the letters.
It was a letter from those who followed Gideon!
When I looked at the letter, I was surprised to find that this was written.
[I am deeply impressed by Your Highness’s greatness. I would like to have a deep discussion with Your Highness about the future.]
[I would like to apologize for the rudeness in the past. Please give me your precious time.]
Surprisingly, it was a letter requesting reconciliation with Raymond!
It was during the Great Depression of Gideon.
‘why?’
Christine said why.
“Probably because of what Master has done this time.”
Christine said as if it were obvious.
“Now, to trade with the Free Cities Alliance, we have to look after the Master.”
