Chapter 146

‘I don’t understand. I’ll have to check this later.’

Raymond shook his head.

Anyway, the question was to be resolved later.

There were more pressing matters at the moment.

He had to treat twins.

“I’ll have to check it out first, but if my thoughts are correct, I think it can be treated.”

“…!”

The twins opened their eyes wide.

Raymond tried the treatment right away.

Thyroid hormones were extracted from animals and administered as a medication.

Then something amazing happened.

The twins’ symptoms began to improve immediately!

“This, this is… … ?”

“How?”

The twins shook their eyes in surprise.

How much pain have they suffered from this poison so far? But with Raymond’s help, they have found a cure!

“It’s not completely better. You still have to take the medicine I give you.”

There was no way to revive the already damaged thyroid gland. They had no choice but to continue taking medication.

“ah…….”

The twins’ complexions darkened again.

In the end, the need for medicine is the same. The only thing that has changed is the person supplying the medicine, from Archduke Berard to Raymond.

‘Our lives are now in his hands.’

The twin girls, Rune, bit her lips tightly and asked.

“What price will we have to pay in the future, Baron?”

“Huh?”

“There must be something you want in return for our lives. What price must we pay?”

The twin boys, Ren, had the same face.

Could it be because they had suffered so much up until now? The two of them fundamentally did not trust humans.

Of course, they knew of Raymond’s reputation, but they were wary that Raymond would eventually become like everyone else.

Raymond frowned at the two’s reactions.

`I’ve been feeling this way since a while ago, but these kids are really being fooled.`

‘These guys.’

“Of course I have a request. You will have to pay a price to me.”

“What is it?”

The twins looked nervous.

Raymond spoke briefly.

“Study.”

“…What?”

Raymond continued.

“And smile a hundred times a day. Grow up as kindly as possible.”

“…..”

The twins made dumbfounded faces.

‘What do you mean by that? It’s a strange thing to say.’

Raymond sighed and gave them both a light pat on the head.

“It means that just growing up happily like that is enough for me.”

“…!”

The two looked at Raymond in disbelief.

“Oh, why? You don’t want anything?”

“Why?”

Raymond said, crossing his arms.

“I’m a healer. If the patients I treat are happy, that’s enough for me.”

“…!”

Of course it’s a lie.

‘I will receive payment for treating you from the Marquis Durak. And it will be very expensive.’

Originally, children’s medical expenses were collected from their parents.

All the healer had to do was show a good side to the sick children.

The twins were overcome with emotion, unaware of Raymond’s true feelings.

“What the heck are you… … ?”

The twins’ eyes trembled.

‘There is someone like that in the world… … .’

All the people they knew in the world were extremely ill-mannered people

But they can’t believe there really are people like that in this world.

They couldn’t believe it.

‘He really is the light.’

Rune and Ren decided to hold back their tears.

“…I will study as you said.”

“I will study too.”

The twins looked at Raymond with determined eyes.

The two looked at each other and made a decision.

‘I will work hard in the future. I will definitely be of help to Baron Penin and repay this favor.’

They both believed that there was nothing free in this world.

They vowed to repay this grace that saved their libes.

By the way, there was something Raymond didn’t know.

That was the twins’ nickname.

‘Monster genius twins!’

As children of the Durak bloodline, the twins had such a fearsome nickname.

The twins were each geniuses in different fields.

The two of them pledged to work hard in the future to repay Raymond’s kindness.

Meanwhile, Raymond thought to himself, completely unaware of such facts.

‘Now is the time to negotiate with the Marquis Durak.’

It was time to get paid for treating the children.

He thought with a dark mind.

‘I’ll make you pay for all the trouble you’ve caused me. I’ll give you a very, very expensive bill.’

* * *

By midnight.

The Marquis Durak came out of the barracks and sighed.

‘I have committed an unforgivable act of disloyalty.’

Now he was marching to attack King Macapell III in the body of a subject.

This is a huge act of disloyalty.

‘No, it’s not just disloyalty. Even if I go to hell, my sins will not be forgiven.’

Of course, he wanted to run right now and kneel before King Macapell III.

He wanted to swear allegiance to his young master and punish the traitor.

However…

‘Kill Macapell III and that bloody Raymond, or your children will die in agony.’

‘I couldn’t help but give in to the threats of that devil Berard.’

‘What should I do about this?’

The Marquis Durak looked up at the sky again.

‘If it were me who was suffering, I wouldn’t have given in.’

‘With my children’s lives at stake, I just didn’t know what to do.’

If he thought about the greater good, it would be right to sacrifice his children and strike down Archduke Berard, but Durak simply could not do that.

‘Ren, Rune. You will scold me. You will scold me to cut off the head of Archduke Berard instead of worrying about yourselves.’

And they were still children left behind.

Because his children were the smartest, kindest, prettiest, and most lovable children in the world.

‘Damn.’

He walked away feeling frustrated.

It was the moment when he entered a remote area inside the barracks while walking aimlessly.

Suddenly, the Marquis Durak felt a cold air.

Srrrr.

The darkness dissipated like waves and a figure appeared.

Brilliant silver hair, the appearance of a young, handsome boy.

Durak opened his eyes wide at the familiar face.

“… … Are you the Silver Nachal?”

Silver Nachal, Silver Knight!

It was Elmud’s nickname.

He used stealth to approach Durak.

“Your Excellency Durak, I come to see you at the behest of my lord, the great Baron Penin of the Royal Army of Houston.”

“Baron Penin?”

Durak looked surprised.

Baron Penin!

The greatest genius in the Kingdom of Houston who saved Macapell III and put Berard in a desperate situation.

“Why him?”

“The Lord has instructed me to convey the following message to His Majesty:”

Elmud opened his mouth, trying to replicate Raymond’s voice as closely as possible.

“I tell you, Marquis Durak, the lives of your children are in my hands.”

“… … !”

“If you don’t obey my orders, your twins will die.”

At that moment, the Marquis Durak’s face turned pale with anger and fear.

Elmud relayed Raymond’s last words.

“However, if you obey my words, I will give you the medicine that will save the twins. So, if you want to save the twins, you must swear absolute obedience to me from now on… … he said.”

* * *

At that time, Archduke Berard was listening to his subordinate’s report with a blank expression in the barracks.

Perhaps because he was cornered, his usually neat appearance was nowhere to be found.

His hair was disheveled, and his clean-cut face was covered in a messy beard.

“Hundreds more soldiers deserted overnight, Your Majesty.”

“What were you doing?”

It was a cool voice.

“Yes?”

“What were you doing instead of properly monitoring the soldiers?”

“That, that is… … .”

The general stuttered in embarrassment.

“There are so many soldiers trying to desert that it’s impossible to stop them just by monitoring them… … .”

Those words further angered Archduke Berard. An eerie murderous look flowed from his cold eyes.

“Now even you are insulting me. No, isn’t it you who encouraged the soldiers to desert?”

“Your Majesty?”

He swallowed hard.

Berard’s condition was not good.

“Seriously… … .”

He took a step back, but it was too late.

Pfft!

Blood splattered inside the barracks.

Archduke Berard swung his sword and cut off his head.

“Shit!”

Chaenggrang!

Berard threw his sword on the floor of the barracks and cursed.

He saw blood, and he felt uneasy and restless, unlike usual.

‘It’s all because of that fucking bastard. Raymond! Raymond!’

He couldn’t even imagine.

Who would have thought that he would save Macapell III and take over the capital?

The repercussions of that shocking and radical action were huge.

He suddenly fell from being the most powerful person to being a traitor.

‘If this continues, I’m finished.’

Archduke Berard was a man of great intelligence.

So now he knew exactly what situation he was in. He is in the worst possible situation.

‘If only the capital hadn’t been occupied. No, if only the Houston Kingdom Army hadn’t been in front of us.’

If it were normal, the king wouldn’t have even snorted at the idea of ??declaring him a traitor.

Because the declaration of a powerless king is nothing more than an empty cry. It is a declaration that would not even return a shallow echo under normal circumstances.

But the story changed completely when the capital was recaptured with Raymond’s help.

By taking control of the capital, the young king was able to find his own power and authority.

There was a world of difference between a king having ‘no’ power and a ‘little’ power, because the power a king had was the driving force that called others under his banner.

Of course, in normal times, those who flocked to the king would have been crushed by force.

Because he had that kind of power.

But now was not the time for that to happen.

‘Because of that damn Raymond, there are far more people flocking to the King than expected. The desertion of soldiers is also serious.’

In the end, it was all because of that bastard Raymond.

He was in this state because of that Raymond guy, and he was completely ruined.

‘Damn it, why can’t I contact ‘them’?!’

Archduke Berard took out the crystal ball he had been secretly hiding.

It was the crystal ball used to receive emergency contact from ‘them’.

‘They’ were the ones who raised him, a mere illegitimate child, to the highest position in the kingdom.

If it were ‘they’, there might be a way to overcome this situation.

But no matter how many times he tried to contact them, there was no response from ‘them’ at all.

Berard intuitively felt that he had been abandoned by ‘them’.

“Damn it! How dare them!”

He gritted his teeth.

‘There is only one way to break this situation. Kill the young king and that bastard Raymond.’

Just then a messenger came running in from outside the barracks.

“Your Majesty, urgent news has arrived from His Excellency the Marquis Durak!”

“What is it?”
