Doctor Player Chapter 217
âTake it away.â
âSophia, my beloved sister.â
âIâll warn you, get rid of it.â
âI will give you a chance. If you kneel before me, I will save you. Iâll put you in the second personâs seat.â
Sophia sighed softly.
Damn!
And slapped Cairnâs cheek.
â⦠⦠!â
âI told you to clean up your dirty hands.â
Cairn was blank for a moment.
His cheeks turned red from the severe beating.
He soon broke out into a big laugh.
âOkay, Iâm sorry for my mistake. I know what you mean. Just go back.â
Sophia frowned and turned away.
Then, a low voice pierced my back.
âHope for a miracle. Otherwise you will die.â
Sophia didnât answer and came out in silence.
âAre you okay, Your Highness?!â
âI want to go back to your palace.â
âI will see you.â
Sophia sighed softly.
Iâm fighting against it, but in fact, there was no clear way. At this rate, Cairn will ascend the throne.
As Cairn said, even if a miracle doesnât happen.
âmiracle.â
Sophia clenched her fists.
She looked south.
There was only one person who could work a miracle in this situation.
There was only Raymond.
* * *
Late night.
Raymond was still looking down at the bottom of the castle from the top of the lordâs castle.
I couldnât sleep.
âIs it because of the indefatigable monster attribute obtained while promoting to Fellow? Iâm not tired even if I donât sleep.â
Raymond sighed.
âI have to make a decision.â
I couldnât make a decision at all.
Then a rustle of people was heard.
Seeing the person who came up, Raymond made a surprised face.
âDisciple?â
It was Christine!
âmaster? Were you here? What a coincidence.â
She looked awkwardly surprised, as if they had met by chance.
âWhat did you come here for?â
âI just want to get some fresh air because I canât sleep. Master, would you like a drink too?â
She held out the bottle.
Raymond looked at the bottle and made a surprised face.
It was his favorite âexpensiveâ wine!
Over a thousand pennies per bottle!
âThis is one of my bucket list wines.â
Shy Raymond looked at the wine bottle, nervous about dropping it.
âhowever⦠⦠How much does this wine cost?â
âexpensive. Two thousand pennies a bottle?â
âTwo two thousand pennies?â
âWhen I went to my parentsâ house, I stole several bottles. Did you do well?â
âYes, very good. As expected, he is a proud disciple.â
Also Christine!
He treats patients well, saves money well, and steals expensive wine.
He was the perfect disciple.
âHere, Master, please eat with us.â
Raymond laughed.
He said it was a coincidence, and he was holding two glasses.
âthank you.â
It was an expensive wine, so passing it down the throat was an art.
She even brought cube steak for snacks.
âHow about this steak?â
âThis is the steak I asked for from Sir Hanson.â
Also Hanson.
Cube steak was also an art.
Eating expensive wine and Hansonâs steak made me feel a little healed.
âAh, I want to live by buying and drinking wine like this every day without any worries.â
Raymond had no idea.
âOf course, you can still buy and eat it, but. Itâs a pile of debt anyway.â
There were some good things about having a lot of debt.
Even if I overconsumed, it didnât show much!
While comforting his debtor situation, Raymond became even more depressed.
âno. The talk with the Marquis of Tern went well, so once the canal is open and the medical business is in place, the debt will be paid off soon. Letâs wait until then.â
As I was thinking about that, Christine suddenly caught my eye.
She was drinking wine in silence, looking down at the castle.
Raymond realized that thanks to her, much of his complicated mind had gone.
âthank you.â
âyes?â
âDid you come to comfort me?â
âno? Are you just here for a drink? Itâs expensive, so itâs delicious, right?â
Christine gave a single laugh. The clear moonlight hit her jet-black hair and scattered it.
She looked down at the castle again. Itâs like you donât mind.
Her consideration gently soaked Raymondâs heart.
Because sometimes just being with you is more helpful than a thousand words.
Raymond was grateful to her.
after a while of silence.
Raymond hesitantly opened his mouth.
âCould it be, disciple?â
â⦠⦠yes?â
âWhat would you do if you were in a situation where you had to heal the most hated enemy you really hated?â
â⦠⦠!â
Christine was taken aback for a moment.
He understood the meaning of Raymondâs question.
But he said it in a calm voice.
âI think I will treat you.â
âIs that the attitude of a healer?â
Raymond remembered that she had been praised as a little saint before.
She is more than Raymond in caring for patients!
If she was like that, of course she would try to heal even her enemies.
However, Christine gave an unexpected answer.
âIt would be too bland to let them die.â
âyes?â
âI have to live and pay the grudge properly. If you die without making proper atonement, who dies at will?â
â⦠⦠.â
âAfter saving him, he has to take revenge to the point where he regrets being saved. Oh, and if thereâs anything that can be ripped off, I tear it off.â
Raymond kept his mouth shut.
something terrifying. It was her answer.
âWell, come to think of it, he was a disciple with a scary side.â
After that, silence fell again.
Raymond thought, and Christine got up to help him gather his thoughts.
âIâll just go down and see. master.â
Christine blurted out before disappearing down the stairs.
âCan I just tell you one thing? Master, make the choice that will leave you with the least regrets.â
â⦠⦠!â
âNo matter what you choose, I, Kristen de Raeburn, will support you, Master.â
She mentioned her full name.
It meant that even if a bad situation arose due to Raymondâs choice, he would mobilize the power of the Raeburn duchy to help him.
âOf course, my father still supports Highness Cairn.â
Although she is establishing herself as the successor, the owner of the duchy is still the Duke of Raeburn. And the Duke of Raeburn supported Cairn.
But Christine made up her mind.
If the worst were to happen, Raymond would become a source of strength even if he grabbed his father, the Duke of Raeburn, by the collar.
â⦠⦠thank you.â
âyouâre welcome.â
Christine waved her hand and disappeared with her back turned, as if to say not to mind.
Raymond sighed and gulped down the remaining wine in his glass.
âplural⦠⦠la.â
A thought popped into my mind.
âOriginally I was a snob⦠⦠You can be a bad healer.â
* * *
The next day.
Raymond met Galman.
âI will treat you.â
â⦠⦠!â
Chancellor Galmanâs eyes widened.
âThank you so much! I know it must have been a difficult decision. I understand your heart⦠⦠!â
However, Raymond drew a line coldly.
âDonât get me wrong. Because this is a deal.â
âtransaction?â
âYes, I am the feudal lord in charge of the Lafalde region. I will not treat you unless you promise me a solid price.â
Raymond thought to himself.
âI have to repay the grudge properly by saving my life.â
Thatâs what Christine said yesterday.
âYes, I will use this opportunity to give His Highness a huge blow.â
Raymond was deeply troubled last night.
What choice do you really have to make?
After much thought, he came to a conclusion.
Itâs a matter too serious to ignore with mere hatred.
âIf Cairn ascends the throne like this, you donât know what kind of aftershock will come. It would be foolish to ignore it out of hatred.â
And there was something even more important.
âYour brother is right. If the king dies like this, I wonât be able to take any revenge, and I will lose the person I hate the most in vain.â
If you do something wrong and die, who will die at will?
A short apology that was left behind at the end?
It wasnât even worth it.
With just that, he couldnât solve the resentment he had accumulated so far.
âI donât know exactly what kind of revenge Iâll have yet.â
Still, one thing was clear.
âIâll be able to rip off a huge reward.â
Raymond decided to become a âbad healerâ.
A bad healer who would steal money regardless of the circumstances of the patient.
âIâll shake you off enough to make the sound of a robbery. Iâll make you a penniless king.â
Raymond promised.
I will make King Oden the best hukou of his âHukou Rip Projectâ.
Just then, a pleasant quest came to mind.
[Take the reward from the worst truth!]

Before that, Raymond pointed out the most important problem.
âFirst of all, I have to promise you one thing. Please do not hold me accountable for the results of treatment.â
It was an important issue.
If he couldnât be cured with an S-class heal, he would be in a very serious condition. Raymond couldnât even promise treatment.
âThatâs right⦠⦠.â
âYour Excellency, please swear by everything.â
Chancellor Galman understood what Raymond meant.
Even if Cairn tries to do tricks, he wants them to use all his political capabilities to stop them.
âI swear on my all. I will not hold you accountable.â
Galman nodded heavily.
âBut at what price? What kind of reward can I give you?â
âFirst, please pay four million penas for treatment.â
â⦠⦠!â
Chancellor Galmanâs eyes widened.
It was a huge medical bill!
No healer in the world would pay this much for treatment.
âthat⦠⦠!â
âIf you donât like it, there is no treatment.â
firm voice.
Realizing that Raymond was serious, Galman swallowed.
âFour million pennies⦠⦠.â
âAh, please refrain from raising taxes. Still, I think I can come up with something. Even if it means selling all the royal treasures.â
Raymond recalled the venerable artworks and treasures he had seen in the royal castle as a child.
As a kingdom with a long history, the treasure accumulated over many years was not small.
If you dispose of all that treasure, youâll be able to raise 4 million pennies.
âArenât you going to miss it? If itâs not enough, Iâll sell the kingâs armor and sword to get it on my own. You can melt down the crown jewels and sell them. Can I change it to a simple crown at this point? Anyway, I need to get at least 4 million pennies.â
There were many things to receive besides money.
