Episode 519 Mian’s Decision (6)

Tweet.

The morning is bright and the sun is shining pleasantly.

“It’s time.”

A few days ago, when I opened my eyes, I went to the Roden therapist’s clinic, repeating each day.

Skip breakfast and go to the clinic dressed lightly.

At such times, Roden always came out frowning with the strange scent of medicinal herbs.

“I hope you came today. Didn’t I tell you to go back?”

It was an obvious order to celebrate, but he wasn’t going to give in to it.

“Labor and management, please don’t do that and listen to me.”

“Okay. what do you guys do The therapist closed the clinic door and left the patient alone. I cannot accept such a name.”

I think I’ve heard these words twenty times.

Now it was to the point where scabs sat on my ears.

“I am not going to force you to follow me. Just listen to the story. That’s enough.”

When he returns, the old healer will most likely die.

It should be forced to follow, but if you go strong from the beginning, you will surely ignite the fire of that stubborn personality.

As he bowed his head and begged, Roden’s heart softened a little.

“…If only it was a story.”

I opened the door of the councilor with a narrowed eye.

Once inside, he started to get into the car to serve to the driver.

Inside the old-fashioned scent was leaking the unique scent of the clinic.

Roden brought a steaming cup of tea shortly after.

When two people sit down, he pulls a chair to a table that fills up and sits down.

“Eat. Even if the congressman looks like this, he uses only high-quality tea leaves, so it will suit his taste.”

The driver inspected the teacup for a moment and then took a sip.

Slurling-

The soft tea water lingered in my mouth and soon disappeared beyond my throat without my knowledge.

Car handling is no ordinary skill.

“It is a very nice car.”

Seeing the knight genuinely admiring it, Roden’s expression relaxed a little, as if he was feeling better inside.

“okay. Say something. What do you mean by bothering the old man so much?”

The article fell silent for a moment.

Soon, he took out a small piece of parchment from his bosom.

one sheet.

two sheets.

It didn’t take long for the parchment paper that had been continuously pouring down to pile up thickly.

“What is all this…”

“The number of villages sacrificed by the plague. I received a report, but I couldn’t believe it either.”

Roden’s body froze at the knight’s words.

The knight, who was drinking a sip of tea and quenched his thirst, said, as if his throat was blocked.

“Conditions in the kingdom are far worse than you think. If we continue like this, the day will soon come when we will have to worry about the future.”

The plague had spread, but he hadn’t expected it to be this much, so Roden’s expression was clearly colored with bewilderment.

“What happened? As far as I know, the scale of the plague isn’t that great except for the outskirts of the west…”

“Your Majesty has been hiding it. If the people find out that a plague has spread throughout Silia and they are struggling, there will be a bigger uproar.”

“Anyway, this… isn’t this the level of a plague? As if someone had put a curse on it…!”

“The voice of labor and management is loud.”

Unlike before, the sharp-eyed knight restrained Roden, who was incensed.

The clinic is always crowded with patients.

That’s why there were quite a lot of ears to listen to.

If the story were to go awry, there would most likely be an uproar that rivaled the plague.

Roden looked around, clearing his voice.

“… Excuse me. If… the reason you told me this story is…”

“Yes. So far we haven’t even gotten any information about the plague’s origin. That is why the king’s order was given to summon famous healers from all over the world to investigate it.”

The knight said, pushing the teacup away from the table.

“This is not something that the labor and management are concerned about, whether it is a doctor or a patient. If you do not move, the patients in the clinic will live, but the people of the kingdom will die.”

Contrary to the words, it is a calm voice that is indifferent to it.

However, Roden could tell.

He was begging for help with his whole body.

to the kingdom of Celia.

to several tops.

to the janitors in the marketplace.

to the people there.

He bowed his head and expressed his need for help.

My hands were shaking.

After biting his lip for a moment, Roden jerked his head.

“I… I can’t. I’m not as great of a person as you think.”

“It doesn’t take a great person. Just a person who has a heart for the people. The healer the kingdom is looking for is just that kind of person. And the old master whom I have been seeing for several days is the person Your Majesty is looking for.”

Was it because his words touched my heart?

Roden, who had pursed his lips for a while, confessed his feelings.

“I am determined never to go on an operating table again. It’s nice that His Majesty takes good care of it, but it may not live up to expectations.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Even at the moment when surgery is needed, it won’t be of much help.”

“What he wants is the investigation of the plague and the development of a cure, not what the old man thinks.”

Did you make up your mind with those words?

Roden’s expression gradually hardened.

I straighten my old, crooked back, pull a chair, and sit upright.

After taking a few breaths, he looked straight at the knight with the eyes of a wise old man.

“…guide me. I will go to the royal castle.”

Eventually, when the answer he wanted came out, the knight’s complexion also brightened like never before.

“You made a tough decision.”

“You told me to pick five before.”

“yes. Please select the person who needs the most help and let me know.”

“I’m sorry to them, but… there are a brother and sister behind the orphanage in the village. They seem to have no intention of receiving treatment because they are in need of money, so if you want to take them, I want to take them.”

The knight looked at Roden with surprise.

“Are you saying you want to take the children from the orphanage?” “They still have bright futures. The weather is starting to get colder, so if we leave it as it is, we will definitely sell it.”

Do you mean to take those who are not even patients of the clinic?

If the aristocratic patients found out about this, they would not leave Roden alone.

The knight readily accepted Roden’s request.

“Your Majesty would be very happy if you knew the uprightness of the master.”

“Please wait for three days as preparations are needed to organize the council.”

A three-day delay would make the schedule a bit tight.

In order not to be late, I have to leave at least this evening.

However, the knight who secretly liked Roden did not say much.

“I will be at the village inn. Come see me when you are ready.”

“I will.”

After a small bow, the knight retreated.

Left alone in the clinic, Roden looked in the direction of the patients and sighed.

“I didn’t mean this… I’m sorry.”

He, who did not know how to take off his complex gaze for a while, hurriedly began to prepare to leave for the royal castle.

“Nuna, this is the last time.”

With his swollen, swollen hands, he divides the leftover bread crumbs into small pieces.

The small pieces were divided even more finely.

The child who was called older sister shook her head.

“It’s my share.”

One boy and four girls.

Even at a glance, the young people are crouching over the wall, so it’s only natural to draw attention.

For some reason, I couldn’t even find anyone passing by.

They didn’t seem to care if the silence was familiar.

At that moment, the sound of a carriage was heard in the distance.

People here don’t pass around Goachon very often, so it’s very rare for a carriage to come like this.

The children’s faces immediately brightened.

“It’s a carriage!”

“Let’s go and ask for something to eat!”

Excited children ran out into the streets.

Barefoot and skinny, I ran down the rough road to the street, and there were several soldiers and knights standing there.

Looking at the outfit, it’s not a guard.

Knowing that there would be nothing good from encountering a soldier in a place like this, the children who ran excitedly took a step back to quietly retreat.

But isn’t the knight extending his hand with a very friendly face?

“come here. Please share some food.”

Along with the horse, there was no child who would not fall for the food bag full of dried food.

One of the oldest-looking girls looked at the knight with suspicious eyes.

“…Do you have any business with us?”

At that, a soldier met the girl at eye level.

“The owner of the clinic, Roden, said he wanted to treat you at the royal castle. Be grateful to these guys.”

Roden is an old man who occasionally visits them and gives them food or medicine.

Although he seemed sloppy, his disposition was kind.

To think that he wanted to take them to the royal castle.

The children’s eyes widened.

It was a bit hard to believe, so the girl still had no doubts.

“I don’t have anything. Even if I receive treatment, I don’t know how to repay the favor…”

“What is repayment? Don’t worry too much, the therapist will take care of it for you. Even if you end up sleeping in the warehouse, it will be better than here.”

“But…”

Unlike the kids she likes, the girl seemed to be worried about the sudden situation.

The knight who had been quietly watching from behind approached the children.

“It is not a good thing to turn down a kindness done. Healer Roden made the decision with you in mind, so please don’t refuse.”

“…”

The girl, who had been thinking for a while, immediately shook her head.

Although she is the eldest of the children, the girl’s age is not too old.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

I couldn’t help but be tempted by the fact that I would not feel hungry right away and could fall asleep warmly.

The girl, who wanted to stop enjoying the comforts, looked around at the children and made her decision.

“…yes. Then, regardless of shame, I will follow the knights.”

The talking girl’s face was red with embarrassment.
