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

Chapter 731

Episode 731 Royal Ball (4)

After eating with the royal family, Ray returns to the private room.

Aether, completely distraught, also returned to its place.

Soyoung, who was sitting in the separate room and drinking warm milk, asked.

“What are you going to do now?”

“It’s not just nobles, it’s royalty, too, as the king says.”

“It’s like lowering your tail to the strong.”

He said with a smile, but there was nothing to refute.

After receiving the milk Soyoung gave her, Ray said.

“So why did you come to the private room by yourself?”

“Does the follower need a reason to come to the one who serves?”

“Other guys might not know, but you never came alone.”

Soyoung nodded in agreement at his words.

“Ugh. I did. I’ll see you more often from next time. The reason I came here is to make a report.”

“Look.”

I don’t know how long it’s been since I heard a report.

It was obviously after he ordered the Heukbang to look into the current situation of the Kingdom of Celia, so he thought he would soon report it.

Ray straightened up and sat down.

“First of all, it is about the black room. I also tried to match the words with Hafman, but there was nothing particularly strange about the movement. However, it is not without doubt that those who gradually reveal their power are hiding in the shadows again.”

“You mean you might be plotting something behind your back?”

“yes. Once you’ve dipped your toe in the sun, it won’t be long before it’s exposed.”

“I don’t worry about Sanggye because only the half is holding tight, but…”

“I think so too. If there is a problem… Celia must be the problem.”

She took out several sheets of parchment on the table.

When I glanced at it, there were various medical books and magic books with names of various diseases written on them.

“This?”

When Ray asked without hiding his doubts, Soyoung explained.

“These are epidemics. do you remember When black magic spread in Celia.”

After hearing the words, I remember.

The disease had spread from the outskirts of Celia.

It was later revealed that it was a trick of the black room, but it was already too late.

Healers joined forces to go out to support each other, and the Wizards Association took this seriously and sent various supplies.

But is that still going on?

Quite a few high-circle mages would have applied, right?

As if recognizing Lay’s question, Soyoung continued.

“It is difficult to support supplies because of the serious epidemic in the estate of the Marquis. In addition, in some areas, traces of magic were found, but the cause could not be eliminated.”

“What about the top?”

“Because I can’t go up.”

Seeing him shaking his head, the damage seems serious.

“Thanks to the epidemic, the Hafman Merchants are rather earning more, but that will be over soon. Shall we ask them to get out of Celia before it’s too late?”

If notice is an indispensable element for merchants, action is essential for the upper ranks.

Although it was painful to withdraw the main unit, if the decision was not made, it could have suffered a greater loss.

At her words, Ray said firmly.

“no. If that happens, you won’t be able to support them.”

“yes?”

“Tell Harfman to release the relief goods. There will be many patients, so you will need it anywhere.”

“The damage must be enormous.”

“You can’t pretend you didn’t see someone dying just to save a few pennies. You can earn more money, but life ends when it ends.”

As he spoke, he rummaged through his backpack.

What he took out was a piece of stationery that looked luxurious at first glance.

‘What is this?’ said while looking at Soyoung.

“It’s an invitation letter from the Devon Kingdom. Even though the king looks like a bandit, he has a human heart, so he will definitely help.”

“That’s it…”

‘That’s it, no matter who sees it, it’s aiming for the bean curd that the Holy Son will give you,’ So-yeong, who was about to say, shut her mouth.

“yes.”

“Please visit me politely and tell me.”

“All right. Then shall we prepare right now?”

Ray stopped So-young, who was moving her hips in an attempt to lead the wagon at any moment.

“I would love to, but I was invited to a banquet. I can’t go right now.”

“Oh, is it the princess’s birthday?”

He knows how long they have been staying and even knows the birthday of the princess.

Indeed, it could not have been a terrifying power of information.

Soyoung brought her lips to her index finger.

“Ugh. The timing is right, but… I guess it’s the saint who’s aiming?”

“okay.”

“Keuk. You are a very sinful person. What are you going to do?”

“I decided to attend the first day of the banquet. From the second day, I will leave for Celia Kingdom right away.”

“Wouldn’t that look rude?”

“Anyway, the other side invited me first. The king gave permission, so it should be fine.”

“Then I’m glad.”

Soyoung let out a drool, “Uhh”, then shook her head as if she understood.

“I will prepare the banquet.”

“It’s okay to dress fancy like a tailcoat, so please prepare only light formal clothes.”

“I can’t do that. Hongyoung will probably get angry.”

Hongyoung who was so quiet?

Soyoung shuddered at the disbelief response.

“I’m sure you’re going to be mad that I didn’t prepare the best I could.”

“How is it similar to a harpman?”

“They say subordinates look alike.”

she shrugged.

It’s not something I like to wear fancy clothes, but if I do, it’s a day.

It wouldn’t matter if people were attending on the first day when people were quiet.

“Then prepare what you can. There is no need to overdo it.”

“All right. Then I’m done…”

“Good job.”

As soon as the words were finished, her new form disappeared.

Now, if you’re not concentrating, you can’t even feel the presence properly, so it can be said that your stealth skills have reached the state of the art.

While watching Soyoung disappear, Ray suddenly became nervous about Ether.

He told me to follow him if he had nowhere to go.

I was thinking of giving myself a seat as soon as I return to the principality, so I had to introduce the receptionist in advance.

‘I’ll have to prepare a place when I leave the Kingdom of Greyman.’

Ray, who couldn’t hide his satisfaction at the gradually increasing power of the principality, let out a sinister laugh.

* * *

The kingdom of Greyman was made due to phosphoric acid in preparation for the banquet.

There were vassals of aristocratic families with titles among the busy attendants, but they all looked uneasy.

Most of them were barons.

The one with the highest title was the old viscount, but his expression didn’t look good either.

The viscount let out a big sigh and said.

“Regardless of the reason, all nobles of dukes and marquesses must attend… I have no way of knowing what His Majesty the King is thinking.”

Other aristocratic vassals responded to him.

“That’s right. Besides, I don’t know what you’re talking about that you have to attend the first day of the banquet.”

“His Majesty must have had an idea. But I’m worried… What will Marquis Villedeid think…”

The old man shook his head at the words of the middle-aged baron.

“Your Excellency, Marquis of Villede. It’s been hard.”

Currently, a faction fight was in full swing within the capital.

If it’s the Marquis of Villede, he’s the leader of the Chosen People’s aristocrats.

It was a matter of hurting one’s pride to have a marquis, a high-ranking noble, attend the birthday banquet of not the king but the princess on the first day.

Perhaps the Marquis Beillade, who is rumored to have a high nose, come out to the banquet.

If done wrong, the vassal could overwrite the Marquis’ rudeness.

The people around him who knew his circumstances patted him on the shoulder.

“It may not be a big consolation, but… Cheer up.”

“…yes.”

“Anyway, I’m worried. At this rate, it will be vassal nobles like us who attend on the first day.”

He sent a vassal on his behalf.

If this was an excuse, even the king would not be able to hold him accountable for anything.

Of course, when that happens, it becomes them who have to keep an eye on them.

No matter how much the current king is, it would be impossible to purify a large number of high-ranking nobles, so it was quite possible to severely punish the nobles’ vassals instead.

When they gather every day to discuss and sigh deeply.

The preparations for the banquet had come to an end.

* * *

White lanterns float under the cool sunset.

take it as a signal

Noisy festivals were held here and there in the streets of the royal capital.

“Hahahaha! Let’s drink and die today!”

“For the princess’s birthday!”

“for!”

A festival on a much larger scale than usual.

The son-in-law became dark, the guards sanctioned, and the atmosphere was heightened.

The royal castle was filled with nobles.

Aristocrats from all over the world, almost equal to the number of servants, gathered and entered the lobby.

Among them, the Marquis of Villede was also seated.

“joy! No matter how much it is the birthday of the royal family, there is no elegance to be found in such ugliness!”

Sheer high shoes.

The red off-shoulder dress with prominent shoulders even had an overly flashy feel.

Covering her body with jewelry, Marquis Beelaid waved her hands a few times.

At her beckoning, the young men who came to her side lowered their heads.

“Did you call, Your Excellency, Marquis?”

“You guys bring me some food.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Before long, three or four young men in tailcoats brought food that looked appetizing at first sight.

I’m afraid to carefully put it down on the table.

She picked up the cutlery and began to eat quite elegantly.

munching.

She didn’t put food in her mouth, but it was hard to think of her as an aristocratic woman as she chewed food in her cheeks.

Even though it was a look that would naturally raise eyebrows, the complexion of the young people did not know that it would change.

“Even the way you eat is beautiful.”

“You are an example of an aristocratic woman.”

“If you learn etiquette from Your Excellency the Marquis, even the princess will be happy.”

It was a story that would have frightened Princess Oh if she had heard it.

Marquis Villede smiled at their praise.

The dimples are deeply fanned and the cheeks wobble from the food in the mouth.

Even the folds of flesh were slightly visible on the corners of his mouth.

“Of course not. But unfortunately, I don’t think so. Although she is His Majesty’s daughter, she is still an immature child. I don’t think you’ll be able to handle my teaching.”

It’s a law to curse the king in a place where you can’t see it.

Even more so, if you are at the head of a kingdom’s chosen aristocrat, no one will say anything even if you curse the emperor.

When she is having a pleasant meal with the young men.

Gradually, high-ranking nobles and their vassals began to enter the lobby.
