Doctor Player Chapter 426

‘Especially, Duke Synel’s will must be important.’

Duke of Cinell.

He was a duke of the ‘Ecliptic’, not a person belonging to any one of the ten kingdoms.

For reference, there was one neutral territory in the Crusader Empire that did not belong to any of the Ten Kingdoms.

It was the imperial capital and its surroundings.

The Duke of Sinel, a great aristocrat based in the neutral territory, has been supporting the elected emperor for generations.

Because of the uniqueness of such a family, whenever the emperor was elected, he was selected as an electorate with a high voting authority comparable to that of the royal families of the ten kingdoms.

The Duke of Sinel supported the saint of brilliance, which had been popular until now, but switched to Raymond after this incident broke out.

‘Duke Sinel’s decision is the most important. What decision will he finally make?’

In this way, the gaze of many people in the imperial city was directed to the group of Duke Sinel who held the casting boat.

* * *

At that time, Duke Synel, who held the key to electing the throne, was having a conversation with his followers.

“Are you really going to support the saint of poverty like this, sir?”

“Well, what do you think?”

Duke Synel, an elderly man of a very old age, laughed like an old raccoon.

Those who followed him laughed.

“You’re looking at the liver.”

“Yeah, since we’re still not sure who’s going to benefit us.”

As Raymond had guessed, Duke Synel was a greedy pig.

A bat pig who wants to elect someone who will benefit him as emperor.

“Then wouldn’t the saint of brilliance be better?”

“you’re right. Although its position has been reduced due to this incident, it is still the Kingdom of Gears.”

The Kingdom of Gears, though.

He was right.

Even though the terrible mistake was revealed, the reason why other countries couldn’t ask for more crimes just by cutting off the tail was because the Kingdom of Gears had the strongest power in the Crusader Alliance.

“Right now, everyone is criticizing the Kingdom of Gears, but with time, that criticism will fade. Who would dare to defy the Kingdom of Gears?”

“Above all, it is hard to imagine that the saint of poverty would pursue policies in our favor.”

Duke Synel nodded.

“Yes, it is. He even said that he had been volunteering for the poor a while ago. It’s like watching us. The saint of poverty is likely to pursue policies that do not serve us well.”

“Then why aren’t you withdrawing your support?”

“Why do you think so?”

The group below nodded with an ah.

“You’re waiting for an offer from the Kingdom of Gears.”

“Until the Kingdom of Gears pays a higher price. Isn’t that what it is?”

They had been promised a great price in exchange for supporting the Saint of Radiance.

But unexpectedly, Duke Sinel shook his head.

“It’s not like that. In fact, I really intend to make the saint of poverty emperor.”

The subordinates made puzzled faces.

“Why? Didn’t the saint of poverty tell us that there was a high probability of undesirable policies?”

Even so, they have not been able to spread their spirit under Emperor Catherine until now.

Emperor Catherine did not have great abilities, but she still had a heart for the people.

That’s why they have been keeping their people in check from lusting after them.

But would you want to put Raymond, who must have been a greater figure than Catherine the Great, on the throne?

Duke Synel gave an unexpected answer.

“Because I think the saint of poverty would be better to wield from behind than the saint of brilliance.”

“… … !”

“Think about it. Behind the Saint of Radiance lies the Kingdom of Gears. But do you think we can defy the saint of brilliance?”

The subordinates gasped in amazement at those words.

Because Duke Synel was right.

As long as the kingdom of Gears was behind them, they could never go against the saint of brilliance.

“Even for Emperor Catherine, we couldn’t speak out because we were worried about the kingdom of Rosette behind us. But behind the saint of poverty, there is only the Peninsula Kingdom. It’s just perfect for us to swing from behind.”

However, one person cautiously raised an objection.

“The background is weak, but the saint of poverty is not an ordinary person, is he? Considering the miracles that the saint of poverty has accomplished so far, I don’t think it will be easy to deal with him.”

The others nodded as if in agreement.

Can’t you tell just by looking at the way she helped Catherine in court not long ago?

However, Duke Synel chuckled and said,

“I was worried about that too. But this time, I was relieved to hear the news of the saint of poverty volunteering for the poor.”

“What does it mean?”

“To say that he is doing service to the poor at such a crucial time when the throne is to be decided. How stupid is this?”

When Duke Synel heard of Raymond’s service to the poor, he did not understand.

Right now, Raymond is facing the final decision in the race for the throne.

So it was right to try to make sure that the Duke of Sinel and those holding the casting boat were on his side.

But Raymond didn’t do any appeasement work. Not to mention the Duke of Cinell, and to none of the other Elector Counts.

He just went out to serve the poor as if he was only for the people, regardless of how others came out.

So Duke Sinel was relieved.

Raymond’s ideals for the people are high, but his actual political sense is low.

‘Because having great ability doesn’t necessarily mean having great political sense.’

There are people who are originally excellent in their field, but lack political sense and ability. Conversely, there are those who are good at politics even though they are lacking in other fields.

Because it was a completely different field.

The saint of poverty is a person with outstanding abilities worthy of a hero, but it was clear that he lacked the political sense that required snake-like cunning.

‘If that’s the case, I might as well swing it from behind. Politics can’t be done simply with ideals for the people.’

Duke Cinell put on a sinister expression.

‘I’ll put the poor saint on the throne and wield him from behind.’

It was a perfect plan.

Duke Synel said happily, as if he could see his bright future ahead.

“Now, let’s cheers. For the election of the saint of poverty and our prosperity.”

“for!”

When the atmosphere was in full swing, an uninvited guest suddenly came.

It was a young man with an upright impression, who appeared to be in his late teens.

“father.”

“What’s going on?”

“I have something to tell you. Inherit people for a while.”

Duke Synel frowned.

“now?”

“Yes, it is important.”

Duke Cinell pushed the people away as if he had no choice.

“What’s going on?”

“I know what your father did to the slums this time. Please stop.”

“what?”

“There are many victims. Not just one or two, but many.”

Duke Synel put on an annoyed expression.

“What’s wrong with that? Aren’t they the ones who don’t care anyway?”

“father! We are the dukes of Cinell. It is our calling to assist the Emperor and serve the people of the Imperial City. But why do you do such a terrible thing?!”

“You really need to wake up! How are you trying to lead the family with such a weak mind?! In order to prosper the family, you must be stronger than anyone else!”

The man with a young face bit his lip hard at the appearance of not being able to communicate at all.

“If my father keeps coming out like this, I won’t stand still.”

“What if I don’t stay still?”

“I will tell others of the evil my father has done.”

Duke Synel laughed.

“To whom? To Her Majesty Catherine?”

In the meantime, Catherine has been keeping Duke Sinel in check.

So, Duke Sinel was unable to take care of his own self-interest.

However, not too long ago, when Catherine was falsely accused and her authority was limited, she took advantage of that opportunity and made a mistake this time.

It was such a situation, so telling Catherine about it wouldn’t change anything.

“Don’t you know that Her Majesty Catherine has already suspended her duties? There is no point in what you say.”

However, the man with the youthful face told an unexpected story.

“I will tell the saint of poverty. If it were him, he wouldn’t be idly watching his father’s mistakes.”

“… … !”

Duke Synel opened his eyes wide.

“You are crazy.”

“I’m not crazy.”

“No crazy. I see you talking nonsense. Do you think anything would change if you reported it to the saint of poverty?”

Although he spoke strongly, Duke Sinel was irritated.

‘The saint of poverty shouldn’t know about this.’

Raymond, the saint of poverty.

Everyone who met him said that he was a person who would jump into the fire of hell if it was for the sake of the people, if it was anything else.

So, when the saint of poverty finds out about this incident, things go awry.

Moreover, it reminded me of the fact that the saint of poverty is doing volunteer work in the slums.

‘What I did will naturally be covered over time. At least this should not be revealed until the saint of poverty finishes his volunteer work in the slums.’

Having made up his mind, Duke Sinel shouted outside.

“Hello! Lock him in the storage room right now!”

“father? what?!”

“Shut up! Don’t let this guy come out until I give my orders! Don’t let anyone contact you!”

Such a young man’s rebellion did not see the light of day and rather became a prisoner.

However, the man with a young face succeeded in delivering the note to his confidant using a momentary gap right before he was imprisoned.

“Give this note to the older brother I trust the most.”

“What about your brother? Are you referring to the one who formed a bloody brotherhood with Confucius?”

“okay.”

The servant nodded with a firm expression and ran to deliver the note to the older brother the man had mentioned.

Incidentally, that older brother was Lemerton.

* * *

Limerton.

Prince of the Houston Kingdom, Raymond’s half-brother.

There was a reason why Limerton had become the brother-in-law of the heir to the Duke of Sinel.

I sold Raymond.

‘Even if you look at it like this, I’m the older brother of the saint of poverty… … .’

‘I have known the greatness of the saint of poverty since I was a child and have respected him. As an older brother.’

Remerton sold Raymond in this way to expand his network in the ecliptic.

Of course, most of the stories about Raymond were lies. Raymond didn’t say anything.

That’s because Remerton’s broadening his network would eventually become his network.

The heir to the Duke of Sinel was tricked (?) by the arm of Raymond of Leamerton in that way and became a sworn brother.

Remerton had formed this type of brother-in-law with the sons of various influential nobles, and had become the older brother of numerous step-brothers.

Therefore, Lemerton naturally wanted to help the successor of the Duke of Sinel, who had been requested to rescue him.

“We need to help Karim.”

Karim.

It was the name of the successor to the Duke of Sinel who was imprisoned this time.

“What is it?”

Raymond, on the other hand, was trembling.

because it stinks

No money, troublesome, annoying smell!
