Chapter 85

[The title of “Dirty illegitimate child” will be changed to “King’s illegitimate son”]

[King’s Illegitimate Son]

Description: A neutral title given to the king’s illegitimate son.

Title level: Kingdom level

Additional effects:

– People see you as the King’s illegitimate son!

– Depending on your behavior, that gaze will be either contemptuous or respectful!

In this way, Raymond was able to shed the label of ‘Dirty Illegitimate Child’, a symbol of contempt.

***

The deep evening of that day.

In the capital of the Kingdom of Droughton.

Grand Duke Berard frowned slightly.

“Raymond did those things at the banquet?”

“-……Yes, Your Highness.”

Raymond!

It was a name that made him grit his teeth.

All of his plans were blocked because of him.

“How are the plans for the assassination of the Marquis Langham going?”

-Don’t worry. It’s done perfectly. The recipe for the ‘Juice’ was delivered to the royal patissier.

Black, the subordinate in the crystal ball, spoke in a determined voice.

– At the banquet tomorrow, the Marquis Langham will have a heart attack and die after drinking this said ‘Juice’.

It was a scary story.

But he is going to die after drinking this ‘juice’?

“What is the probability of being detected? It must never be known that we are the one responsible.”

-Never. It’s just a regular juice. Even a royal patissier would never imagine that the juice he made could be poisonous.

That was the scary thing about this conspiracy.

They won’t use poison.

The general ‘Juice’ alone is set to kill the Marquis of Langham.

“What about Raymond? Is there any possibility that he will notice our conspiracy?”

Black replied confidently again this time.

– There isn’t. It’s a plan made thanks to the mysterious knowledge that His Highness the Grand Duke bestowed upon me. No matter how goood he is, he won’t know that the juice is fatal to the Marquis’s chronic disease.

Saying so, Black, was still a little puzzle with the origin of this knowledge.

How does Grand Duke Berard know this great knowledge? He is not even a healer.

In any case, Grand Duke Berard looked satisfied.

There was no possibility that Raymond would prevent this from happening, even if he thought so.

This time, he won’t be able to do anything.

“Black. You’ve already failed three times.”

Black tensed at the low voice from the other side.

“This is your last chance. Make sure you take care of it.”

He gulped.

Beyond the crystal ball, Black trembled with fear.

It meant that if he failed again this time, he would kill him.

And his master, Grand Duke Berard, never shrugs off this declaration of significance.

-·…I’ll keep that in mind.

***

Last night.

Quite a few aristocrats reacted favorably to the medicine.

Raymond’s own reputation has risen, and his view of medicine has naturally changed.

Raymond was so happy that he laughed like a fool.

‘Finally! Wealth and fame is coming!” The vegetable soup is over forever!’

But as soon as he came to his senses…

‘The banquet is not over yet. I don’t know what kind of unexpected situation might occur during today’s banquet.’

Just in time, a message came to his mind ominously.

[Quest occurs!]

[Guardian of the Banquet 2]

(Medicine Quest)

Medical Rating: Two Scalpel

Difficulty level: Medium

Quest Description: A large crowd gathers at the banquet. You never know when an unexpected patient may arise. So as a healer, try to finish the banquet without any casualties!

Clear conditions: The banquet ends without any deaths.

Reward: Bonus level up x 2, additional 40 skill points

Perks: A favor from someone

“…”

Raymond was silent for a moment.

‘Ending the banquet without a dead man. It is not predicting a serious case, isn’t it’

For reference, after the last quest, Princess sophia collapsed from a heart attack.

Raymond felt the need to be prepared.

“If there was an emergency patient at the banquet and I manage to save it, it will have a tremendous promotional effect!”

Of course, it was important to save the patient other than such snobbery reasons.

He’s a healer who’s obliged to save his patient.

No matter what patient occurred, he had to do our best.

“Hanson, Lindon!”

“Yes, Master!”

“Did you prepare an emergency cart for the party?”

Emergency cart!

It is a tray called an E-cart (Emergency cart) that is equipped with medicines and tools necessary for emergency situations.

‘Crying. It cost well over 7,000 pence to make that E-Cart. Damn it, bad Dwarves. My 7,000 pennas!’

It was a huge sum.

First of all, the price of the “medical horse tool” was enormous.

‘I can’t believe they’re asking for 3,000 yen for an electrocardiogram. Those bad guys are really…’

Electrocardiogram (EKG).

It was a medical testing tool that measured the heart’s current vector and is essential in emergency situations.

It was implemented by requesting it from the Magic Tower, and 3,000 pence had to be paid.

It cost astronomical money to implement various other tools.

In addition, a huge amount of money was broken by preparing hormone extraction drugs necessary for emergency situations, not general herbs, through the magic tower alchemist.

‘Medical devices are expensive in the modern world too. This is too much. When can I master a skill related to magic engineering?’ Raymond sighed.

‘I felt the need for money again.’

‘I’ll completely wrap up today’s banquet and attract the noble families! That will be the end of my money worries!’ Raymond vowed so firmly.

Meanwhile, Hanson looked at Lindon and said.

“Lindon, we can’t sit still either.”

“Ha, Senior Hanson?” Lindon has a frightened voice.

“Let’s go practice CPR one more time.”

“Again??”

“There is no end to practice. If you want to be a master, you have to devote yourself endlessly!”

Lindon repeated CPR practice with a tearful face.

For your information, CPR practice consumes a lot of physical strength because you have to put chest pressure.

In other words, it was a great struggle.

‘Senior Hanson, I hate you!’

***

The royal castle was crowded with numerous nobles.

If the eve festival was mainly for young nobles, today’s event was a festival for all nobles.

“Haha! Long time no see, Visount!”

“It is my honour to meet you this way, Count.”

However, there was a person who was nervous even in such a pleasant atmosphere.

It was Mason, the royal healer!

‘I can’t believe I’m in charge of the banquet healer’s part.’

The chief royal healer was the famous count of Helien.

In addition, there was Viscount Dorian, a self-employed person with a “double A” grade, as a deputy chief healer.

However, there was a reason why Mason, who was relatively in a slump, became the general manager of the banquet.

‘Your Highness Seytil is wounded.’

On the eve of yesterday.

Seytil, who was hit in the face by Raymond’s wooden sword, was seriously injured.

His nose bone fell down and one front tooth was missing.

It was not a life-threatening wound, but it was a fatal injury to the aesthetics.

Seytil’s mother, the fourth queen, ran wild, and all the outstanding healers in the palace were clinging to Seytil.

‘It doesn’t matter if Count Helien isn’t around. I am also a grade A healer. This time, I’ll show you what I am capable of.’

Not long ago, he remembered the exploration of the ruins.

The same pathetic ugliness will never be seen again.

‘One thing I’m worried about is the Marquis Langham.’

He was a guest of honor at this banquet.

Originally, Count Helien was attached, but he ha dto leave because of Seytil’s injury.

King Oden tried to keep even a double-A-grade Visount Dorian attached, but the fourth queen ran wild and there was no way.

This is because even the king could not ignore the “background” of the fourth queen.

‘But I heard he is suffering from a chronic disease, but his condition seems to be better than I thought.’

Mason thought, glancing at the condition of the Marquis Langham.

The marquis was tasting a special juice newly introduced by the royal pastry chef.

“Is that delicious?”

The servant asked just in time.

“Healer, would you like to taste too? This is the ‘Tears of the Sun’ juice, a masterpiece developed with great care by the royal pastry chef.”

“Thank you.”

Mason took a sip and was impressed.

‘The sour taste is strong, but it’s great. Amazing.’

The key was the sudden sourness and the freshness was excellent.

Marquis Langham must have been impressed, so he ordered two cups in a row and drank them.

“It’s a wonderful taste. I shall know the recipe when I go to the Kingdom of Peninsula.”

“I guess I should have a drink too.”

Then, a figure came into Mason’s eyes.

‘Raymond!’

Mason gnashed his teeth.

‘You bastard!’

There was a reason why he hated Raymond so much.

This is because when he was exploring the ruins with Raymond, he treated everyone but him.

Left unattended, Mason was barely able to survive on his own after wandering through the dead.

‘It must have been done on purpose. He is a swine. I’ll make sure to pay back the grudge.’

It wasn’t just then.

Mason recalled Count Garrinson’s request.

“If you have a chance at this banquet, make sure to crush him.”

It was meant for him to trample Raymond healer versu healer.

‘A banquet of this size will create any patient. Then I’ll show him what the real cure is.’

Mason glared at Raymond with poison.

‘People will realize the greatness of my heals. What really is the truly right treatment.’

Meanwhile, Raymond, who received Mason’s gaze, looked bitter.

‘Why is he staring at me like that? Is it because I didn’t treat him then?’

Raymond was mortified.

‘No, he was in the best condition so I left him alone. Besides, the enemy were looking our way back then.’

‘I didn’t treat him because I know he would eventually be able to treat himself, but there was no other reason.’

The reason was not because epinephrine was too expensive and it would be a waste to use more.

Really….

…That’s not really the reason.

‘Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether he stares or not. Let’s get it together. We don’t know what kind of patients will occur.’

This is a place where a large number of people gathered.

In particular, it was a place where all aristocrats of all ages gathered, so there were quite a few elderly people.

‘I didn’t know which emergency patient would suddenly occur.’

‘Although, there’s one person that’s particularly bothering me.’

Marquis of Langham of the Peninsula Kingdom.

Among those who attended the banquet, he was an elderly person who stood out.

‘Fortunately, his condition doesn’t look too bad. Still, it is an event that can be difficult for elderly people, so let’s be careful.’

The main banquet of the National Foundation Festival was different from the eve of the festival.

Numerous ceremonies and events were scheduled, making it physically difficult.

How long after that?

Raymond received an unexpected call.

“Can I speak to you for a moment, Raymond?”

“Your Highness?”

A young man with a very intelligent appearance.

It was Prince Lemarton!

‘Why?’

Raymond had puzzled eyes.

‘In the past, Lemarton ignored Raymond as if he didn’t exist. He didn’t exactly treat me like a person.’

What’s going on?

“Do you have a moment?”

“Ah, yes, Your Highness.”

Raymond followed Lemarton to a deserted place.

“Please speak, Your Highness. Are you feeling something wrong?”

Lemarton looked up and down Raymond instead of answering.

“You’ve changed a lot. You grew up so well.”
