Doctor Player Chapter 378

It wasn’t just Raymond who was flustered.

The hall was all quiet.

Everyone was shocked by the words of Grand Duke Gideon.

“The Grand Duke?”

“What is it?”

The nobles asked with shocked faces.

But Grand Duke Gideon answered calmly.

“Aguk (??) had a vacant crown prince position for a long time. It was because there was no suitable person, but a great person like this appeared, so I don’t think there is any reason to leave the position of crown prince vacant.”

“… … .”

“For the sake of the kingdom’s prosperity, I think it’s right for someone as good as His Highness Raymond to succeed the throne.”

The hall became quiet.

It’s not a story that’s ever wrong.

Peian VII was an old man, no wonder he became a widow at any time.

However, the seat of successor to the kingdom was still vacant.

It was unusual.

So, it was right to appoint the crown prince right away.

‘But the person who made the crown prince’s position vacate so far.’

People looked at Grand Duke Gideon with absurd faces.

There was one reason why the crown prince seat was still vacant.

It was because of Gideon.

Originally, Lawrence, who was first in the line of succession to the existing throne, was to become crown prince.

However, Grand Duke Gideon was against Lawrence becoming the crown prince, so he couldn’t do it until now.

But now that you have come and suddenly become the crown prince?

“The Archduke, those words are very sudden.”

Lawrence, who was standing on one side without saying a word, opened his mouth with a troubled look.

Lawrence, as usual, had a benign face.

However, contrary to the appearance, the inside was bubbling.

It had to be.

So far, Lawrence has been so opposed to becoming the crown prince, and now you want Raymond to be the crown prince?

For Lawrence, it was inevitably unpleasant.

“To say this all of a sudden after opposing the installation of the crown prince for a long time. It is truly embarrassing for the royal family.”

However, Grand Duke Gideon went one step further and gave a speculative answer.

“The reason you have refused to be appointed crown prince is because Your Highness Lawrence did not meet the qualifications to become crown prince.”

“… … !”

Lawrence’s face went white.

Grand Duke Gideon continued to say it coldly.

“But, since His Highness Raymond is a hero who cannot be compared to you, wouldn’t he be worthy to become the crown prince of his country?”

The atmosphere in the hall hardened like ice.

Grand Duke Gideon openly cut down Lawrence, the head of the King’s faction!

When the situation turned like this, the faces of the people, especially the nobles of the royal faction, became strange.

‘Come to think of it, what will happen to Her Highness Lawrence when Her Highness Raymond becomes the Crown Prince?’

The political world of the Peninsula Kingdom was originally divided between the noble faction led by Rodrigo and the Grand Duke led by Gideon.

And Princess Sylvene’s royal faction and Lawrence’s royal faction were minor factions.

Raymond was supported by the king faction and the princess faction. And this time, he even absorbed part of the power of the aristocrats.

He had the power to stand shoulder to shoulder with Gideon.

The problem was the royal faction.

Originally, the royalists were those who supported Lawrence, who was the first in the line of succession to the existing throne.

However, a new Raymond appeared and Lawrence’s position was blown up.

Therefore, the nobles of the King’s faction were confused about whether to support Lawrence or Raymond, but Archduke Gideon hit the sore spot.

“Your Highness Lawrence, you always insisted that the rightful heir should inherit the throne. According to those words, isn’t it natural that His Highness Raymond, who is first in line to the throne, succeeds to the throne?”

Lawrence’s face hardened at Gideon’s words.

But he was right, so Lawrence forced a smile on his face.

“of course… … It should be.”

Meanwhile, Raymond, who became the protagonist of the controversy,

‘… … What bullshit are you talking about now? Seeing me as a crown prince all of a sudden.’

Earl was out.

‘I can’t even give up my position as the crown prince of the Houston Kingdom, but suddenly I’m the crown prince of the Peninsula Kingdom!’

Raymond screamed inwardly.

‘What kind of ridiculous nonsense is this serious… … .’

However, Raymond’s face suddenly hardened.

Come to think of it, it wasn’t a story that made no sense.

Originally, he did not even think that he would succeed to the throne of the Peninsula Kingdom.

It was because Marquis Rodrigo and Archduke Gideon were holding out like a mountain.

However, Marquis Rodrigo fell unexpectedly, and thinking about it, he was the most suitable person for the position of crown prince now.

‘Oh no. Isn’t this?’

Raymond was genuinely perplexed.

This was a situation that did not count.

But he soon came to his senses.

‘no. It’s enough in the kingdom of Houston to put on the shackles while doing something. Now, the position of crown prince is something I don’t want.’

In particular, Raymond looked at Archduke Gideon.

‘There’s no way that Archduke Gideon would offer me the position of crown prince with a good heart. This is a poisoned chalice.’

No, I don’t even want it, but the Holy Grail is a piece of shit. It was just a poisoned shit cup.

Anyway, at this moment, there was only one answer he had to take.

‘You must definitely refuse this place. I’ll just be rich!’

It was the moment when I was about to spit out the words of rejection with that kind of heart.

Raymond suddenly realized something he had overlooked.

Everyone stopped watching.

‘… … What’s wrong with your eyes?’

Raymond broke out in a cold sweat.

Let’s ignore the disciples who are thrilled that Raymond was eventually recognized even in the proud Peninsula Kingdom.

By the way, Peian 7 years old.

Grandpa was in tears.

Because my beloved grandson is so admirable.

… … ok let’s ignore this

But Prince Rashid.

He seemed to be forced to hold back the outburst of shouts.

The head of the princess faction, Sylvene, also looked at him in awe.

‘You’re enough for me to admit.’

It was these eyes.

Many other people were looking at him in anticipation and hope.

In particular, the eyes of the aristocratic aristocrats who had just surrendered were all the more spectacle.

‘As expected, our choice wasn’t wrong.’

It seemed to say so!

‘Oh no? Will everyone stop looking at me like that?’

Raymond swallowed.

I felt a sense of déjà vu.

The past, when he was unexpectedly pushed by public opinion and kicked the shackles of the crown prince of Houston!

‘Ugh, absolutely not.’

Raymond tore his hair inwardly and made a firm determination.

‘Never do this this time. I’m not shaken by those eyes. Remember, you’ve got the Super Rich right around your corner!’

Raymond clenched his fists.

‘I’ll leave the position of crown prince to Lawrence-sama as it was.’

I was about to say that right away, but Raymond realized a problem and kept his mouth shut.

‘No way to entrust the position of crown prince to Mr. Lawrence. With the atmosphere right now, no one will agree.’

First of all, the Grand Duke following Gideon will oppose it.

And now, the royal family and the aristocratic faction following Raymond will oppose Lawrence becoming the crown prince.

‘Wait a minute.’

Raymond swallowed.

Come to think of it, even if I refused the throne, there was no one to pass it on!

It’s doomed!

‘What should I do?’

Then Gideon said.

“How is it? If everyone agrees, how about appointing His Highness Raymond as crown prince right here?”

‘no!’

Raymond screamed inwardly.

‘Why is he suddenly doing that? Didn’t he hate me?’

In any case, it was a desperate crisis.

Everyone was nodding their heads at Gideon’s words, as if it was a good idea.

I felt like I would really become a crown prince!

Seeing Fian VII slowly nodding his head in agreement, Raymond involuntarily shouted.

“It’s not possible!”

“majesty?”

“I think we need to make decisions a little more carefully on such an important matter!”

Everyone rolled their eyes.

He did not know that Raymond, the party involved, would oppose it.

“Why is that, Your Highness?”

“that is… … .”

Raymond was speechless.

‘How can I explain why?’

just don’t like it

That’s not right.

The king, the princess, and the aristocrats all stop looking at them because of the false image-making they have made so far.

But now he refuses the throne because he doesn’t want to do it? No one will understand easily.

‘Damn, how did this situation come about?’

Raymond swallowed his tears.

“Why is that, Your Highness?”

“Because I am not enough.”

I forcibly tried to make an excuse, but as expected, the seed didn’t work.

“Your Highness is lacking? You are too humble.”

“It is also light. How humble are you even in a situation like this?”

‘Damn it!’

Raymond shook his head desperately.

Then I met the eyes of Archduke Gideon.

Grand Duke Gideon was looking at him with strange eyes.

Raymond had a question for a moment.

‘Why did Archduke Gideon recommend me as the crown prince?’

Archduke Gideon is his enemy. He had no particular intention of antagonizing him, but the silence was right anyway.

By the way, are you recommending me as a crown prince?

‘What kind of dark heart is this?’

Such a question came to mind.

I don’t know what the intention was, but it was clear that it was incomprehensible.

Recalling that far, Raymond came up with a trick to get out of this situation.

“I don’t think being the Crown Prince now will do anything good for the Peninsula Kingdom.”

“what do you mean?”

“Because not everyone in the kingdom will be happy when I ascend the throne.”

“… … !”

People were startled.

He understood what Raymond meant.

“I’m not really sure why Grand Duke Gideon recommended me. But I don’t think you support me wholeheartedly, even in your heart. Especially those who follow the Grand Duke.”

The hall became quiet.

Raymond said in a firm tone.

“I will ascend the throne with the sincere blessings of everyone in the kingdom.”

In other words, since I don’t know what Grand Duke Gideon was up to, he meant that I would not ascend the throne until everyone truly supported me.

‘Of course, this will never happen.’

Anyway, the story just now was an excuse.

To somehow avoid succession to the throne by giving reasons.

‘For whatever reason, I have to avoid the crisis now.’

Raymond thought desperately.

‘And I’m working on making sure that someone else, Lawrence, Rashid, or Sylven, can inherit the throne instead of me.’

Yes, this was a desperate struggle to escape the immediate crisis.

To somehow get over the current crisis and hand over the throne to someone else.

‘What about the reaction anyway?’

Raymond carefully inspected the opponent’s face and made a puzzled face.

‘Why is that face like that?’

Archduke Gideon looked very surprised.

Admiration at first glance? It looked like that.

It was the same with other people who showed reactions that I did not understand.

Unexpected stories flowed here and there.

“Such an aspiration… … What a feat.”

“It’s like the bloodline of Her Highness, former Crown Princess Lastel.”

“… … .”

Raymond shut his mouth.

Aspiration? What kind of spirit is this?

However, people did not stop the astonishing conversation.

“You’re going to kneel down the Archduke Gideon?”

“Since there can’t be two suns in the same sky. It must mean that he will ascend the throne after subduing Grand Duke Gideon and all his supporters under him.”

“… … !”

Raymond was completely taken aback.

‘Oh no, I never said anything like that?!’

he remembered his words.

‘I will ascend the throne with the sincere blessings of everyone in the kingdom.’

And it stood tall.

People misunderstood that!

‘Why is this being interpreted as kneeling Archduke Gideon!’
