Chapter 88

Please ensure that we can receive specialty herbs and alchemy reagents from each continents at low prices.

!

The Marquis of Langhams face slightly hardened.

Raymond put on his most pitiful expression he could muster.

We manufacture medicine for patients, and there are many difficulties because many people make excessive profits in the middle. The damage is being passed on to the patients.

The profiteers.

It refers to the merchants in the Kingdom of Peninsula.

The Houston Kingdoms logistics often went through the Peninsula Kingdom, and most herbs and alchemy reagents came through the Peninsula Kingdom.

It is not for nothing that the Peninsula Kingdom is the largest trading country in the Cross League Empire.

Raymond shook his head.

To put it bounty, why would they use Pena, the currency of the Peninsula Kingdom as currency of the whole Cross League Empire if that is not the case?

In any case, the viciousness of Peninsula Kingdom merchants was famous on the continent, end even when purchasing herbs, they had to pay several times more than the cost of the source.

In severe cases, there are times that they make ten times of profit.

Well.

The Marquis of Langham could not readily answer.

It was not an easy request.

It would have been easier if he had asked for a large amount of money. To stop the profiteering of the merchants, huh?

The power of the giants of the Kingdom of Peninsula was beyond imagination.

This is because in the first place, the great nobles ran the upper chambers.

No matter how much the Marquis of Langham was, it was difficult to prevent merchants from making profits.

But

Its going to be hard, right? There are many patients who cant be treated because they cant pay for the herbs again today. Thats too bad.

The moment he heard the pensive voice, the Marquis of Langham clasped his fist.

It is a shame. That young man is trying his best for his patients. While here I am, thinking of keeping my eyes on the big merchants.

If Raymond was asking this for his own greed, he would have refused.

However, Raymonds eyes were full of regret for his patients.

To be able to help someone like that is the power of this old body.

Be able to burn to the fullest.

Ill try something.

What?

It wont be easy, but Ill try. Ill find a merchant who can reduce the margin even a little for you. Dont worry.

Awesome! I cant believe he would grant me such a difficult request! Raymond cried to himself.

It was a request I made without being sure he would listen, but I think he accepted it because he was greatly impressed by my care for my patients.

Hehe. How expensive are the herbs and reagents? How much of a cost savings is this?

Thank you so much for your hard work!

Raymond bowed his head with genuine delight, and the Marquis Langham admired it all the more.

I cant believe that he is so happy that I can treat more patients by lessening the price of herbs. Raymond really only care about his patients, as the rumors say.

It was the Marquis of Langham who never imagined that Raymond was so happy that he could cut costs.

The Marquis of Langham looked at Raymond with pleased eyes.

It felt good to see a great young man after a long time.

If there was a young man like that in the Kingdom of Peninsula, it would have been a great help.

Manmajeon.

It was another name for the political circles of the Kingdom of Peninsula.

The Kingdom of Peninsula was so full of ugly and greedy people that it was given such a terrible nickname.

After seeing only those people, his mind seemed to be purirfied when he saw someone like Raymond.

Then what kind of reward do you want?

What?

Just now thats what I have to pay for the treatment. I want to repay you in another way.

Marquis Langham looked at Raymond curiously.

You are the benefactor who saved me.

Gulp.

He already granted me such a big reward. And yet, he wanted to give me another one?

Raymonds fingertips trembled faintly at the uncontrollable push of the aristocracy in the rich country.

I cant believe theres such a pushover in the world. What else do I want?

Raymond swallowed his saliva.

This time, its power!;

Having done the math quickly, Raymond gave him a cool look.

No other compensation is needed. Just please support me.

Hmm?

The Marquis support. Thats enough for this treatment.

Support!

It was a word with various meanings.

Your support doesnt mean just cheering.

To be precise, it means support.

The power of healers comes from those who support them.

If a great man like the Marquis of Langham supports him, his status will rise at once.

Hmm.

But the Marquis of Langhams reaction was strange. He had a meaningful look on his face.

The Marquis of Langham had a big misunderstanding.

Support? Could it be that he is asking me to support him in the upcoming battle for the throne?

In fact, there was a reason why the Marquis of Langham came to the Kingdom of Houston himself with his elderly body.

For the evaluation of the three princes!

It is a hundredfold wonder that the princes of the Kingdom of Houston wil soon engage in a bloody fight. We, the Peninsula royal family, also have to decide who to support.

It was a very important choice.

The Marquis of Langham is trusted by the King of Peninsula.

He was going to secretly decide who to support by checking the princes vessels with his own eyes.

The problem is that all three princes are not satisfactory.

The third prince, Lemarton and the second prince, Kairn, were not to his satisfaction.

Not to mention the ignorant 4th prince, Seytil.

At least, the second prince was the best, but he was not enough still.

None of the three princes is as good as this young man in front of me, what a shame.

At heart, he wanted to support Raymond.

The problem is that he is illegitimate.

The Marquis of Langham smiled in vain.

Im worried about what will happen when a full-scale struggle for royal power begins. I am sure we will be subject to intensive checks.

Not yet.

Because the two arrogant princes dont consider Raymond, a lowly illegitimate son, a rival yet.

But in the end, it was only a matter of time.

Just as a sharp needle pierces through the pocket, Raymonds presence will continue to provoke the two princes, and eventually the two will antagonize Raymond.

Therefore, it was likely that Raymond would end in a bad spot.

No matter how good a person is, he is only powerless in the face of power.

In the end, he will fall to the ground.

But I dont know why I want to bet on this young man. More than the other princes.

The Marquis of Langham shook his head as if he did not know.

No.

Hes not just a good man. He has a great ambition deep in his heart.

The Marquis of Langham is an old raccoon in the politics of the Kingdom of Peninsular, even called as the Demon King.

He was good at reading the other persons mind.

A hidden ambition was felt deep in Raymonds heart.

Perhaps ambition for the sick and others. What altruistic ambition. The Marquis of Langham laughed in vain.

In his whole life, he had never met anyone who had ambitions for others. It was so great that he almost admired it.

Its amazing. Its amazing.

Let me ask you one thing. What is your ultimate goal?

Raymond replied while tilting his head. To be the best healer on the continent.

He added this for image making. Its for my patients.

Ill be the best on the continent for my patients.

The Marquis of Langham was silent for a moment and reflected on Raymonds reply.

And whats the conclusion?

He laughed softly.

Okay. I will support you from now on.

Thank you!

Does Raymond know?

What decision did the Marquis of Langham make at this moment.

The King of Langham and the Peninsula Kingdom will not support any of the three princes.

They will just watch.

And if

If Raymond rose up with his ambition altruism for the sick and others.

They will give him strength then.

That was the Marquis Langhams decision.

***

Are you alright, Marquis? asked the aide cautiously.

Is the Baron Penin really not related to the Rishtein family in my home country?

The Rishtein family.

It was the family name of their royal family.

The official name of the Kingdom of Peninsula was the Kingdom of Rishtein.

Why? Is it because of his emerald eyes?

Yes, the more I see it, the more I feel like it resembles the holy eyes ofo the Rishtein royal family.

No. I checked just in casse, and it turns out that Baron Penins biological mother had normal eye color. It seems like it was just a color that appeared by chance.

The Marquis of Langham shook his head.

Honestly, are there only one or two people with emerald eyes like that?

Thats true too.

I dont feel he has any other characteristics that are found in rishtein royal blood relatives.

The Marquis of Langham concluded firmly.

If not, thats too bad.

The Marquis of Langham agreed with the aide.

Thats right. Its a shame.

The Marquis of Langham was also truly disappointed.

Thats how much he liked Raymond.

***

Raymond, separated from the Marquis of Langham, went to see King Oden and Chancellor Galman this time.

Its to get an award.

Im tired of getting an award.

I feel like Im getting awards way too much.

Anyway, I cant help but take it.

For this reason, I award the medal in the name of the royal family.

Thank you.

Still, it was good that the reward was included.

Lets go get some beef on our way back. Wine, too. No, shall we have champagne?

As he was about to go back, he suddenly remembered something and said.

Youd better warn the royal patissier.

What?

Im saying this because of the Tear Juice of the Sun.

Raymond explained calmly.

For those who have kidney disease like Marquis Langham, highly concentrated fruit juice like Tears of the Sun juice can be poisonous, so its better to refrain from it.

Marquis Langhams chronic disease is kidney disease or chronic kidney failure.

Its probably about level 4 of chronic renal failure.

If he were at level 5, he wouldnt be alive.

Level 4

It was just before all kidney functions were lost.

In the case of the fourth stage, some of the kidney functions still remain, so it was rare for hyperkalemia to occur naturally.

In other words, hyperkalemia is artificially caused by excessive inflow of potassium from the outside.

I think it was caused by the tears juice of the sun. It was almost potassium concentrate juice.

But the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed.

Chancellor Galman Do you mean that the royal patissier tried to poison the Marquis of Langham?

Uh?

Is that how it works?

Raymond waved his hands for fear of getting the royal patisserie arrested.

Thats not true. Its a juice that doesnt do much harm to the general public. But.

Raymond, who had answered that far, shut up.

What if he purposely made that juice for the Marquis of Langham?

Or, if someone deliberately delivered that recipe to the royal patisserie?

Raymond thought it was necessary to check.

I heard it at the banquet hall that its a new recipe. I think its necessary to check how ythe recipe was obtained.

There was a heavy silence for a moment.

Translators Note:

I am not sure what I usually call the currency anymore. So for standardisation, I will be sticking to pena and penas.
