Doctor Player Chapter 478 – Side Story 26

“Yes? Didn’t you hate the conference?”

Unlike the others, the crimson saintess, the Duke of Orbia, is not a pure healer.

He was the monarch who ruled over the megacities of the Free Cities Alliance.

Although he has excellent healing abilities, he considers himself a monarch rather than a healer, so he was indifferent to the events of these healers.

‘Because treating patients is not done without political gain.’

So, when Raymond invited the Crimson Saint, he didn’t expect to respond, so why did he go so far as to attend?

“I hate academics. But it has a purpose.”

“What about the purpose?”

“bet.”

The crimson saintess smiled brightly.

“I heard that the King and His Majesty are planning to compete in a bet on healing skills. May I participate in that bet?”

Raymond was taken aback.

‘why?’

The reason King Seong suggested making a bet on the match at the healing society must have been because he had an ulterior motive.

But why is the crimson saint suddenly?

“If you have something to ask of me, feel free to say it, not a bet like that. Aren’t the Free Cities Alliance and our Crusader Empire allies?”

“It’s not a matter between countries, it’s a personal request.”

“... ... ?”

Raymond made an even more puzzled face.

“Even if it is a personal request, you can just say it comfortably. Aren’t the saintess and I close to that extent?”

I made friends with Orbia when I was working with the Free Cities Association in the past.

Since then, several medical projects have been carried out by the Free Cities Alliance, with the help of Orbia, and now the two are close business partners.

But instead of answering, Orbia stared blankly at Raymond.

is it a feeling?

Her silver hair, which seemed to have been extracted from the moonlight, glowed enchantingly in the light of the chandelier.

“Saint?”

“Your Majesty and I are close friends. But I want more than that.”

“What do you mean?”

Orbia sent a puzzled look.

“Do you remember the offer I gave you earlier? When we first met at the Free Cities Association.”

“ah... ... yes?”

Raymond, who had been making a puzzled expression, stiffened for a moment.

I completely forgot, but Orbia once proposed to him!

“It’s the same this time. I still covet Your Majesty. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think there’s anyone like Your Majesty against me.”

“... ... !”

Raymond was completely taken aback.

‘What the hell is this all of a sudden?! What proposal out of nowhere? That too as a condition of betting!’

I felt weird before, but it was still there.

“My arranged marriage... ... .”

“You’re not suggesting an arranged marriage?”

Orbia tilted her head.

“Your Majesty, this is my taste.”

“... ... !”

Orbia smiled at Raymond, who was bewildered.

“Of course, I am not trying to ask you to marry me as a condition of a bet. I just want you to give me a chance.”

“A chance?”

“If you lose your bet, please meet with me three times. Still, if Your Majesty rejects me, I will give up cleanly.”

Raymond kept his mouth shut.

It was an unexpected story, but I thought it wasn’t bad.

It’s not a marriage, but if it’s simply meeting three times, it’s a condition that there’s no big burden if you lose, and you can get a big benefit if you win.

‘What can I do? If I win, I’ll be able to claim a big monetary reward.’

money! money! money!

Raymond was worried about the money-making opportunity that suddenly rolled in.

‘Above all, I don’t think I’ll lose to the crimson saint, even if it’s a holy king. Should I close my eyes and see?’

The price was too coveted to refuse!

I wanted to suck the spine of the crimson saint!

but.

“... ... !”

Raymond almost hiccupped.

far away

Rose was staring at him.

smiling brightly

pretty but scary

Raymond shook his head hastily.

“sorry. I will refuse.”

“Hmm? You don’t have to be burdened. Is there anyone you have a chat with? It’s okay though.”

‘Should I lower the interest rate of the loan I lent to the customer?’

Interest rates were still close to zero.

If you lowered it further, it was negative interest rates.

It made no sense to common sense, but thinking back to herself what Raymond had just said made Rose feel okay with negative rates.

however.

[Is it okay if Your Majesty marries someone else? Married people have their own charm.]

Quickly.

Debt eventually collapsed.

“Carls.”

“Your Majesty.”

“Stop deferring payments on loans that are due on the side of the Free Cities Association. Raise interest rates.”

“... ... .”

Birmund’s family.

Even before they became the imperial family of the Iron Empire, they were the continent’s top banking family with enormous wealth.

So, there were many cases where each country owed a huge debt to the Birmund family.

“... ... All right.”

Carls replied silently.

“And the interest rate for the loan from the Crusader Empire is lowered a bit.”

“... ... Isn’t it a decision full of selfishness?”

“so? no?”

“... ... no. It doesn’t matter if His Majesty wishes.”

For reference, it was the Birmund family, not the Iron Empire, that lent money to each country.

In other words, it was Rose’s personal money, not the Iron Empire.

Rose could do whatever she wanted.

‘By the way, the amount recently loaned to me by a customer has decreased significantly. I don’t like it.’

Raymond demanded financial compensation for solving the zombification crisis, which reduced the amount of the loan significantly.

But Rose soon thought of it carefree.

‘The amount of the loan will increase soon anyway.’

Rose knew Raymond well.

A fool who only cares for others!

So what if the loan amount is reduced now?

Eventually, Raymond will come back to get another loan from her.

‘It’s good for me that the customer is in debt to me.’

Rose thought to herself.

The wealth that the Birmund family had accumulated over hundreds of years was beyond imagination.

It didn’t show that he was lending it to Raymond like this.

Getting into debt to Raymond, the most influential saint on the continent, with a small amount (?) was a business that left a lot to be desired politically.

Above all, it was so with selfishness.

‘I can’t be relieved if I don’t tie it up like this.’

Rose’s eyes narrowed.

Raymond’s charm was beyond imagination.

It wasn’t because there were pods in her eyes.

Sublime only for others.

Also, the looks are great.

Raymond was completely unaware of this, but a gossip magazine once ranked Raymond as the number one man they wanted to corrupt.

He did not know how many moths would attack Raymond if left alone.

‘That’s why I have to keep it tightly tied up with a huge debt.’

Thinking so, Rose smiled brightly.

She moved towards Raymond.

that buck

As the distance drew closer, Raymond’s eyes widened as he met Rose’s gaze.

He looked alternately at Orbia and Rose next to him. As if looking into the eyes.

‘Lovely.’

thumping Rose’s heart raced.

It was the moment when Rose, who had wet her lips with her tongue, was about to open her mouth to Raymond.

Something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, the noisy banquet hall became quiet.

A heavy air descended.

An unexpected person appeared at the banquet hall.

“ah... ... ah... ... .”

The gatekeeper guarding the entrance stuttered in embarrassment.

and after a while

I shouted the name of the person who appeared.

“It is His Highness Mufenheim, the King of the Holy Kingdom!”

“... ... !”

The air in the banquet hall stopped.

The King Seong appeared.
