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

Episode 767 Choice and Decision (10)

Upon entering the mansion, Levia sensed that the atmosphere around her was quite different.

Normally, a loud voice should be heard from the lord’s bedroom, but today, for some reason, it is quiet.

‘No matter how you think about it, it’s strange. I’ve never been like this before.’

It was really strange.

Levia suddenly remembered what the maid had told her.

‘He told me to come to bed as soon as I heard the news.’

no way.

As an ominous feeling ran down her spine, Levia grabbed the lady-in-waiting and asked as she was walking down the street.

“Is something wrong with your father?”

“Ah, lady…”

“Come on, tell me!”

As she pressed on, the lady-in-waiting replied in a sinking voice.

“That’s… yes…”

Knock-!

Upon hearing the answer, Levia’s legs nearly gave out.

She ran aimlessly toward the bed without thinking about listening to what was said behind her back.

As she ran while using mana, the lady-in-waiting didn’t even have time to explain by adding, “It seems that the Count has come back to his senses.”

Quaang-!

Levia vigorously kicked through the door of civil war.

“father! What happened to your father!”

Aside from the fact that she entered with such force that the door was almost broken, the attendants hurriedly dissuaded her as she came in screaming.

“Oh, miss? Why are you like this?”

“Calm down.”

Their voices did not even reach Levia’s ears.

Even when he was talking with So-young, he was prepared for his father’s death to some extent, but when it happened in front of him, his heart felt like it was breaking down.

when she is noisily wandering around.

The chief chamberlain next to him spoke quietly.

“Your father is fine. Please sit calmly and wait.”

“but!”

“Please have a seat.”

Levia, who was very excited, also came to her senses at the chief chamberlain’s courage.

Looking around, I see the attendants who are restless because of themselves.

A person claiming to be the successor to the count’s family was swayed by emotion and behaved rudely.

Thinking it was the worst mistake, Levia calmed down and sat down in her chair.

“…I made a mistake. apologize.”

“I’m glad you noticed.”

Talk with a smile on your face

He has been in charge of education for Levia since childhood.

Since he was a person who smiled every day and had a strict education that left no gap, Levia was rather afraid of his soft smile.

“What about your father?”

“You are inside. He told me not to come in until the passenger called for me.”

“The main guest has changed.”

A natural sigh came out, but I couldn’t say anything.

Their strength and ability to collect information and suggest the future direction of the Count family.

For those who desperately needed help, they were beings that could not be recklessly thrown away.

how many minutes did you wait?

Soon after, a sound was heard from inside.

“I ask you to come in.”

The lord’s bedroom was soundproofed.

Even so, his voice was clearly conveyed to them outside.

As she got up and approached the door, the lady-in-waiting politely opened the door.

“I heard you called.”

If it’s normal for her to say ‘yes two years!’ The Count, who would have rushed at it, just watched in silence.

“Sit over here.”

Ray offered a seat.

After Levia sat down facing the Count, she asked.

“Do you want to know who it is?”

Count Cerian stroked his beard and at first glance seemed to be absorbed in his image.

It was rude to stare at a guest, but the count stared at Levia so intently that he forgot even that.

complex gaze.

It was the same as being angry and the same as being drenched in sadness.

Count Cerian did not take his eyes off Levia for five minutes without anyone opening his mouth.

He, who seemed like he would never open his mouth forever, spoke for the first time.

“It is a strange thing.”

“Would you like to find out?”

“It must be my wife’s face, but it can’t be… at least I don’t remember it.”

It will.

Ray, as if guessing, pointed backwards politely this time.

There was a portrait of Ye.

“I asked when I first saw the Count. Do you know who it is?”

“It was.”

“That painting is Lady Levia, the daughter of Count Cerian.”

At Ray’s words, Earl Cerian looked back and forth between the portrait and the daughter in front of him.

Resembles.

Even if it resembles the woman in the portrait, it is too similar.

And now that I think about it, there were a lot of similarities with my six-year-old daughter.

Levia also realized that the current situation was very different from usual.

Somehow, looking at my father who seemed fine today, I asked indirectly.

“Have you ever cursed me?”

“It can’t be. It just got better for a little while.”

“Then…”

“Yes. There may be a little gap in my memory, but if it is now.”

As soon as he finished his words, Levia caught sight of her father, whom she had been trying not to look at.

Although he is old, the benevolence in his eyes is not different from that of his father in his memory.

At the same time, the guilt of trying to kill his father weighed on his heart, and when he came to his senses, he was avoiding his eyes before he knew it.

No matter what kind of reunion the two had, Ray didn’t care.

The black room came in front of my eyes.

I also know that the recent movements of the Small Kingdom Alliance have not been good.

More people will die if we delay.

“This is the proof I can show you. You won’t deny it, will you?”

Count Cerian shook his head.

It was quite different from the daughter’s appearance in my memory, but I could tell by feeling.

The fact that the woman wearing plate armor was his daughter.

“Yes, I see. I must be really sick.”

“yes.”

“Can you fix it?”

It doesn’t sound like you’re asking with much hope.

He shook his head at the resolute voice.

“Unfortunately, this is not possible.”

“is it.”

He took a deep breath and got up from his seat.

Count Cerian approached the bed and let Mana rise.

Whoops-!

click-!

The drawer opened with the sound of something ringing.

What is there is an old crown.

No, the size is absurdly small to be called a crown.

Even if it’s a bracelet, I can’t believe it.

“Receive.”

“This?”

“It’s the key to what you’re looking for.”

Hand over the crown with a cryptic sound.

Even just by looking at it, I could feel that it was at least a few hundred years old.

Although well maintained, that is.

“This is all I can do. I trust you will take care of the rest.”

There are a lot of things I want to ask, but Ray just moved his head up and down.

this is the key

Where and how do I write it?

Count Cerian said.

“Can I ask you for one thing?”

“Please speak.”

“As you said, if I am in an incomplete state, I want to ask for that child who will inherit my land and people.”

As I turned my gaze to him, I saw Levia sitting there sighing.

She’s certainly trustworthy to entrust her successor to, but she still lacks experience.

Giving Levia the position of Marquis of such a harsh territory was no different from a gamble.

Didn’t he almost die in the forest after being betrayed by his subordinates the other day?

“All right. But I can’t help much.”

“What are you talking about? I handed over an object that has been with the history of Count Bonn. Can’t you just accept the price?”

It is friendly to the opponent, but it pushes meticulously and strongly.

It is something that can be said to be basic in top coat, but it is rare to use it naturally like this.

Of the people I’ve met so far, including Hafman and the branch manager, I could count them on one hand.

Ray laughed.

“If you have received something, you have to pay it back. I will work for what it is worth.”

When the crown is lightly plucked with a finger, a clear sound resounds with a ‘woong’.

“That’s it. Then would it be all right to enjoy the meeting with your daughter?”

In short, it means to leave your seat.

He wasn’t careless enough to interrupt the conversation between father and daughter after a long time.

Ray stood up from his seat as if it were natural.

“That…”

“Don’t be nervous.”

He patted Levia’s shoulder as she tried to get up after him and left the lord’s bed.

Around the time So-Young took a vacation and left for the village.

Heukyoung investigated the area around the bandit’s lair.

Starting with finding a place to hide something, I thoroughly investigated the bandits’ every move.

Their work was fairly simple.

Although they are on guard all day, they are yawning and chatting all day long, so even if someone infiltrates, they will not know.

Sometimes, there are times when we fight to the death with monsters that have come down from the mountain range, but since they are not weak, if they were at least goblins or kobolds, we easily dealt with them.

Even if two or three orcs came, it was unlikely that they would be defeated because there were so many manpower to stand guard.

‘They’re more vigilant than when they came before.’

Maybe it’s because of what happened before.

The perimeter patrol is over, now all that remains is to go inside and examine the situation.

The dark spirit that killed the presence to the limit went into the lair.

There were still many bandits in the wide lair.

No, more than before.

That would be more than twice as much.

Increasing your boundaries means that there are many things you do not want others to know.

‘Looking at this reaction, it must have come at the right time.’

I pressed myself against the wall and went deep into the lair.

After walking along the road for some time, I saw polite bandits guarding the two paths.

As before, both of them looked bored.

“I really have nothing to do.”

“My legs hurt from standing all day.”

“I’d rather go out and fight to my heart’s content.”

Every time the bandits outside fight the monsters, the sound of weapons makes you feel sick.

“Anyway, it can’t be this comfortable without a new boss. I don’t know if it’s okay to sneak out to the village at this point.”

“ha ha ha. Arthur. After that, if you die, there will be no one to resent.”

“So, let’s go for a while. Aren’t you going to get tired of this?”

At his words, the bandit on the other side was tempted.

“For a little while, I might not get noticed.”

“Oh, of course! Do you think the guys below will tell you? If they get caught fooling around, they and all of us will die.”

“Heh heh. That’s right.”

“So let’s go for a while.”

“You guys can’t win! Wait a minute!”

The bandits looked around and laughed haha among themselves and left.

Dark Young, who was listening to the conversation behind them, lit up his eyes.
