To Hell with Being a Saint, I’m a Doctor

Episode 662 Wins Heart (6)

As usual, I’m killing time leisurely by drinking tea.

A small knock sounded from outside the door.

“The branch manager’s guest has visited.”

Usually, it is rare for a customer to even reach the branch manager himself.

The old man’s gaze turned to the natural gate.

“Tell me to come in.”

“yes.”

The door opened and what appeared was a beautifully dressed beauty and a group of knights.

First, the knights took an example.

“Meet the saint.”

“Meet the saint.”

behind their greetings.

A woman who looked good in a red dress bowed her head slightly.

“Nice to meet you, my lord. It is an honor to meet such a noble person.”

At that, Ray admired a little.

‘Hoo.’

In the middle of the day, I’m going to have a good time.

Unlike the others, the appearance of even a slight smile on the corner of his mouth seems quite relaxed.

He glanced at the woman.

The pattern of the brooch hanging obliquely on the chest is somehow familiar.

“It’s faster than I thought. It seems that the situation is not going well.”

“It was just the decision of the royal family. How can I know the will of His Majesty the King?”

“Are you ready for something like that?”

He pointed at the knights with the tip of his chin.

They were not armed with plate armor, but dressed in Kingdom uniforms.

It must be the intention to avoid feeling hostile.

“Whose idea is it? There’s no way the king would have paid attention to such details…”

He said and looked at the woman bluntly.

He laughs softly at him.

“Ho-ho-ho. You’re a fun person, from what I’ve heard. great. I will not speak again.”

As she held out her hand, one of the knights standing behind her politely handed out a letter.

“It is a personal letter from His Majesty.”

“A letter?”

I didn’t know that I would even write a letter.

Ray received the letter and read the contents.

– Dear Prince Soleil.

The correspondence began similarly to dealing with the king of a friendly kingdom.

– I’m sorry about the unpleasant things that happened the other day. I would hope for a sincere apology, but the situation is poor and it is not going as I wish. There is only one reason why Jim writes letters like this

.

Dizzy letters that look like figures or scribbles.

To Hana Ray, it was a formula that was more familiar than anything else.

The ciphertext of Proxia in the past.

It was not difficult to interpret because it was a sentence I had solved before.

– The descendants of noble families are disappearing one after another. Seeing that you can’t catch it even if you pry at the back, I suspect that there is a black room in the back boat.

missing?

In the case of an aristocratic family, it is famous for its strict surveillance, making it difficult for even a skilled Assassin to go in and out.

In addition, the more the position inherited the title, the stricter the surveillance.

It is natural that an escort driver follows you all day, and even when you sleep, a skilled escort secretly protects you, so kidnapping is not an easy task.

However, if not one place, but several aristocratic children are being kidnapped, it would be unthinkable unless it was a fairly large group.

The only place where such a thing could be done was in the armed forces of the Heukbang or the Grand Assassin’s Guild.

The crime of kidnapping the children of nobles is great.

It’s not just one or two people, it’s a situation where they are systematically kidnapping.

There is no way the Assassin’s Guild would have stepped forward unless the guild didn’t want to disappear entirely, so they had no choice but to point out the Heukbang as the culprit.

Ray’s expression as he read the letter was unusual.

The woman spoke quietly, trying not to awaken her thoughts.

“His Majesty the King wants reconciliation. Although the Duchy of Soleil is a country with different laws, isn’t its root in the Kingdom of Bonn? If we become hostile to each other even though we share borders, it will surely lead to results that everyone regrets before long.”

“I guess so. This is not the time to be fighting.”

Originally, he intended to drive Celia a little more, but the movement of the black room was unusual.

Seeing that aristocrats are carrying out bold things like the kidnapping of their sons in earnest, it seems that sooner or later, even if something happens, it will explode.

He said, putting the letter neatly folded on the desk.

“I’m not asking you to listen with your bare mouth.”

“of course.”

The woman nodded.

“I know what the Son wants. As a result, you must be hoping for the disappearance of the Black Room.”

“I do.”

“Since we want reconciliation first, the Celia Kingdom will cooperate with it as much as possible.”

At her words, Ray widened his eyes.

If the words cooperate, then it is clear that the black room will not stand still.

However, given that Celia had already made a decision, it would not be a half-hearted resolution.

“Are you really okay? The aftermath would be no joke.”

“I am determined. If I can’t sort them out anyway, Celia will be in trouble as well.”

“It’s hot.”

King Theogard is overrated in everything, but he is never stupid.

If he had made up his mind to deal with Heukbang, he would have been prepared accordingly.

It was probably preparations for the current war that showed signs of preparing by raising taxes.

‘I’ve been looking down on the King Uncle.’

I thought it was a toothless tiger, but now I see that it is a venomous snake.

Was he hiding his true feelings behind an empty smile?

“Do you have any plans?”

“Of course there are. His Majesty the King ordered that the Holy Son’s opinions be reflected as much as possible. It would be right for you to discuss the details with the royal family.”

“I don’t have time for that. It would be better to move as quickly as possible.”

If the royal family needed power to deal with Heukbang, the people now needed time to recover their daily lives.

For that purpose, money is also money, but above all, a fundamental solution comes first.

‘It’s time to start land reform.’

It was something I was determined to do, even if it took time.

It’s a bit early, but I need to move quickly.

Ray thought for a moment, then spoke to the woman.

“I have other things to do. I’m sorry, but I can’t help Celia right now.”

“I know. Anything you need will be supported by the royal family. We will deal with the black room as we planned.”

“Please do so.”

As quickly as she had come, the woman left the office.

The old branch manager, who did not realize what the hell was going on, was dumbfounded.

Drinking black tea like cold water, he asked, stuttering.

“They are really royal people.”

It was the first time I had witnessed the delivery of a personal letter from the king in front of my eyes, so I was even more surprised.

In fact, Ray is just calm, but the things that the royal family is directly in charge of, such as the delivery of personal letters, are quite high.

If you made a mistake, you could be silenced to prevent leaks just by being by your side.

The branch manager was surprised or not.

Ray packed his things.

“I can go now. It’s been a lot of fun, sir.”

“Where are you going?”

“It’s not completely reconciled with Celia, but we have a common enemy, so we should be prepared. Perhaps the king asked for help because he didn’t want to open his eyes and cut his nose.”

Said Ray, who stuffed books into his rucksack.

“Tell Hoffman to take care of himself. I will come back when the time is right.”

“That’s right…”

Leaving behind a bewildered answer.

Ray left the office as it was.

* * *

I knew that Celia would come to find me first, but I didn’t know that I would prepare for an all-out war with Heukbang.

“Certainly, it seems that anyone can become a sword master.”

King Deogard is a person who clearly understands the difference in power between the Black Army and the Black Army.

When the monsters attacked, a considerable number of soldiers were lost just defending the southern area.

Nevertheless, it is difficult to make up your mind to fight the Heukbang unless you have a fair amount of courage.

Ray went straight home.

I heard from Hafman that Lacia had a courtesy girl, so I could take her back to the manor.

By the time you cross the familiar hill and approach the smokestack.

Lacia, feeling the presence, jumped out first.

“Brother.”

“How are you Lacia?”

Lacia’s face softened at the familiar face she hadn’t seen in a long time.

“Hey, I was doing well. Has your brother been well?”

I couldn’t even lie to say that I was doing well.

It wasn’t enough that the war broke out, and Celia entered the cold war, and financial difficulties came to the upper half of Halfman, albeit for a short time.

In addition to that, the movement of the black room is unusual, so I can’t let go of the tension.

However, I know that if I say it right away, my family’s worries will intensify.

I replied while patting Lacia’s head.

“No big deal.”

“Come to think of it, I have something to show you.”

“To me?”

“yes. You will be surprised. Whoops.”

Covering the corners of her mouth and smiling discreetly is that of Lady Yojo.

When did you grow up like this?

It seems like yesterday when we were small.

Let’s chat and enter the house.

Ale, dressed simply, welcomed him as if he had come in after chopping firewood.

“It is said that the absence of this child is good news, but isn’t it too much to say?”

“sorry.”

“Oops. done. Rather, what happened this time?”

Ale’s reaction was calm, as if he had already expected it.

“I’m here to find a child. Halfman says he’s at home…”

There was no need to go looking for it.

behind Sein’s back.

A child who thinks he may have turned ten now sticks his head out.

Have you already gotten used to life here?

I didn’t know that I would cling to Sein and fall off.

Sein looked at the girl, Ete, with a worried look and said.

“He just opened up to us. Is it necessary?” “Don’t worry. I will be back soon.”

“I’m glad if that’s the case.”

Sein gently pushed Ete on the back.

“Ehte, this is Lacia’s older brother.”

“nice to meet you.”

insincere greetings.

Not accustomed to conversing with the child, scratching her cheek to say hello, Ete pursed her lips and bowed her head.

Seeing her cheeks dyed red, she must be embarrassed.

It was like seeing Lacia’s childhood, so a smile came out.
