Chapter 80
‘Isn’t that wonderful?’
Galman’s story passed by.
But Oden did not answer the question.
As if that is not the case.
How can he not know?
He knew it well.
Raymond was a really good healer.
No, he was an excellent servant beyond a healer.
Has anyone recently done as much for the kingdom of Houston as Raymond?
But he shouldn’t look too willing and get to close to him.
Raymond was his illegitimate son.
‘After all, it’s all my responsibility.’
Yeah, this whole thing was his responsibility.
But he thought bitterly.
‘Even so, I am King of Houston; I must act only for the kingdom, rather than anything else.’
Oden ascended the throne after burying the blood of his three brothers at the tip of a sword, and later worked for the kingdom of Houston with a life of atonement.
A living machine that moves solely for the kingdom.
That was Oden’s idea of himself.
It was the same now.
Therefore, he had no intention of treating Raymond as a child in the future.
Rather, the more he makes a contribution, the more cold he should be than others.
heartless.
I had to keep the relationship worse than the perfect others.
Because that’s the right thing to do for the kingdom.
But then.
Raymond’s last gaze to him came into his mind.
Deep down, his eyes look so empty.
Oden tried to look away from those eyes.
As such, Oden valued his duties as a king more than the importance of blood.
Knowing what kind of wounds his actions had on Raymond for the rest of his life.
He thought it was the right thing to do.
Not knowing that it might be his biggest mistake that ever existed.
***
At that time, the fourth prince, Seytil, was huffing in his room.
‘Oh, damn it!’
Raymond’s name was rising.
Even the second prince, Kairn, teased him by saying these words.
‘Is this really going to make Raymond our brother? Seytil, you should take good care of him as your elder brother.’
‘I’ll never let him do that.’
Soon after this, Seytil called Count Garrinson again.
“Is there any other way?”
Count Garrinson was grinding his teeth at Raymond as well.
He had been half buried in the aristocratic society now, having been caught up in his last plot.
“There is one way.”
“What is it?”
“It’s about taking advantage of the upcoming founding festival.”
Seytil, a sword genius, had a rather slow head.
He didn’t understand Count Garrinson’s words and looked puzzled.
The Foundation Festival is a grand banquet attended by all nobles near the capital. He’ll be present too
“But?”
“That’s when you bury him.”
“……!”
Garrinson made a mean face.
“This is the first time he has attended a banquet. He hadn’t even properly mastered the banquet etiquette of a filthy bastard. So use that to turn him into an unlucky bastard and busy him in the aristocratic society.”
Seytil nodded.
It is to give all sorts of shame to Raymond, who is ignorant of the etiquette during the grand banquet.
“Then from then on, the nobles will not even try to deal with him.”
“That’s right. An honorable aristocrat wouldn’t pretend to know such an ignorant worm.” Count Garrinson smiled with satisfaction.
“From now on, he will have to live with only dirty commoners.”
As in all the countries of the Cross League Empire, the treatment world revolve around the aristocracy.
Healer’s wealth, honor, and prestige were determined by how much he treated aristocratic patients.
He’ll live a miserable life dealing only with smelly commoners.
“Be prepared.”
Seytil also said excitedly.”I’ll take charge of humiliating him at the banquet.”
Seytil thought confidently. ‘He’ll be so disgraced, Raymond would not be able to carry his face in the kingdom’s capital again.’
The two laughed grimly.
“I’m looking forward to the founding festival of the Empire.”
“So am I, Your Highness,” said Count Garrinson pleasantly.
“The main character of this banquet will be Baron Penin.”
Of course, the genre of the play Raymond will be the main character was comedy.
Full of humiliation and laughter.
Seytil and Garrinson decided to become the play’s architect and audience and watch Raymond clump in the gutter with pleasure.
***
Meanwhile, Seytil and Garrinson were not the only ones preparing for the big banquet.
So was Raymond.
It’s an important opportunity! ‘We should it as an opportunity to promote medicine!’
He planned to use the banquet as a venue for “medical promotion.”
‘I’ve been feeling it lately.’
In order for the treatment center to grow – so to make money – it had to take a noble patient.
So Raymond had to open the door.
‘There’s a limit to the money I can make against the common people.’
Raymond sighed.
Now, the Penin Treatment Center is on track and has been the most prominent clinic in the commoner’s area.
After the fall of Maple Therapy Center, there were numerous therapeutic centers in the common people’s area, but the best of them is the Penin Treatment Center.
Some have included the Penin Treatment Center as one of the three major treatment centers in the capital, following the Helien Treatment Center and the Raoul Treatment Center.
However, the financial situation was not very good.
Although it was in the black not long ago, it turned into a deficit again next week. Since then, it has been repeating surplus and deficit. ‘If I take money as viciously as any healer, I’ll make a lot pf money from the common people alone will make a lot of money.’
‘What kind of idiot am I? I just have to pretend I didn’t see them. Raymond, what are you doing? We should only heal those who can pay.’
Actually, Raymond made that resolution several times.
‘Let’s not be so nosy and pamper them.’
However, whenever he saw the patient in pain, it was not easy to keep the promise. It’s usually hard to do with one’s own mind.
‘I’ll be treating aristocrat patients, anway. That is the time to start hulking up prices and ripping them off!’
Some may ask. Didn’t Raymond hate aristocrats.
Of course, Raymond has a bad feeling for the aristocracy.
‘It doesn’t matter who you’re dealing with to extort money from.’
On the contrary, it was good to see them as patients because he hated them.
I’ll be able to put on more exciting fees!
‘The more they act all snob and ignore me, the higher the price!
It was a happy thing just trying to imagine it.
In order to do so, he had to do well at this national foundation banquet.
It was a golden opportunity for publicity that would never come again.
He even bought expensive clothes to look cool. “Oh, my. What kind of banquet clothes are so expensive?” 500 pence for a piece of course!
‘Even though I bought the cheapest one, it was unbearable to spend.’
Hanson and Lindon, who will attend as therapeutic agents, had get newly tailored clothes, so they had to spend money like blood.
“But you should invest when you do it!” I’ll make sure that the investment I made today comes back many times!”
‘How many, though?’
‘As many times as i can!’
‘So fighting!’
It was a moment of such determination.
Christine said.
“Are you thinking of the royal banquet?”
“Oh, yes, my student.”
“Are you worried that there will be patients at the banquet? I heard that Princess Sophia was treated at her birthday party.” Raymond closed his mouth.
‘No? I was thinking about how to sell medicines to the nobles.’
Christine sighed quietly, not knowing what was on his mind.
“Anyway. I know you’re a fool who only cares about patients but take care of yourself.”
“Take care of myself?”
“Well…… When you go to the banquet, some people may look at the Master with a grain of salt.”
Raymond recognized what she meant.
‘It means there will be someone who finds fault with his identity and ignores me.’
That’s about it.
It was a familiar thing.
Isn’t it raymond, who has iced with misery all his life?
A pitying eye could not hurt him.
But Lao next to him was also worried with the same sentiment.
“It’s not something to think lightly. As someone who has shown many great things recently, there may be people who feels jealous towards your achievements. It can cause malicious quarrel.”
It wasn’t just a worry.
Because of his constant jealousy, he doubted that Raymond’s essence wasn’t a snob, so he really is in trouble.
“You need to be prepared.”
Raymond nodded at that.
‘It makes sense. You can’t sell medicine while being ignored by others.’
Principles of Sales!
I’m going to show you the decent side of me!
The moment the finger was pointed and they were ignored, the business would always be a failure.
Besides, isn’t there a negative factor for him?

‘When is this title going to disappear?’
Raymond had a disapproving look on his face.
A greater reputation!
It seemed that it would disappear only after building a reputation enough to come over the negative perception.
“Master, you don’t even know a single social skill like dancing, right? Come here. This sister will teach you.”
Christine led Raymond’s hand with a somewhat excited face.
She always wanted to beat Raymond, so she seemed excited to have something to teach.
Then Raymond pulled out his hand and shook his head.
“Master?”
“Brother? You’d better learn now.”
Or else he is going to be humiliated?
These were the faces of concern, but Raymond grinned.
‘It may have used to be, but now? View the status!’
