The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 204
Raon looked at me with a mischievous smile.
“Biwon, Birang, and Brother Gyewon too.”
“…”
“And me too.”
I chuckled softly. There was no mirror, but I could tell without looking.
Right now, my face probably had a smile similar to Raon’s.
“If you think that way, how come you didn’t eagerly interfere in front of me this time?”
“Well… that’s because Arin stopped me.”
“Mother did?”
I blinked.
Soon I recalled the conversation between Mother and Dad after seeing the Shaman, and nodded in understanding. Laughter spilled out.
Both Mother and Dad were believing in me in their own ways. Someday I wanted to tell them everything.
How I had lived during my past three lives.
That would probably be… after completely curing Dad’s illness and dealing with the Imperial Palace entirely. I felt like I could speak freely after being liberated from everything.
“Thank you, Raon.”
I could smile without worry. I felt Raon’s gaze slowly but persistently clinging to my face.
Was he observing whether I was forcing a smile again this time? What a grateful person.
“Then shall I make the request? Tell Dad.”
I looked toward the Family Gate and the Territory Walls.
“To bring that man here.”
* * *
A little while later.
No, had it been two hours since I spoke? I sat in my office and blinked widely.
“Well… I certainly asked them to bring him.”
I gently rubbed my forehead. I frowned slightly as if wrinkles might form.
“But I didn’t mean to capture him like treating him as a Criminal…”
Of course, to me he was no different from a Criminal, but that was a story from my past life.
It didn’t apply to someone who revealed himself to be a different person.
But the Shaman I saw again was tied up tightly with binding rope. And to his right stood Uncle with both hands on his hips, looking triumphant.
“I delivered the finishing blow!”
…It wasn’t a hunt though, old man.
However, Uncle wasn’t the only one I couldn’t scold. On the Shaman’s left stood Dad with his arms crossed.
Though he didn’t have a boastful expression like Uncle, he was filled with satisfaction.
Mother floating beside Dad with an amused expression was a bonus.
And there was even Uncle standing firmly in front of the door with a bright smile, probably worried about escape attempts.
‘He’s certainly an exceptional person though.’
No matter how great the Shaman was, it would be difficult for him to face three warriors who were similar to or perhaps even slightly superior to himself.
Even Dad alone might win in a one-on-one fight, but if Uncle and Uncle joined forces, he probably wouldn’t be able to handle them.
I let out a small sigh.
“First, I express my regret for bringing you here like this.”
The Shaman, who had seemed a bit flustered when he first entered, had regained his composure.
He bowed his head slightly.
“Not at all. In fact, I had been prepared for this since I set foot alone in the Hei Family Territory.”
“….”
“From the Lord’s perspective, it must be extremely suspicious. I understand.”
It was a rational and reasonable statement. It was even polite.
“Rather, I was surprised that you treated me so gently. If you find me suspicious, please feel free to investigate.”
He seemed to think I had captured him because I found him suspicious.
I stared down at the Man intently and spoke bluntly.
“If you want an apology, I’ll give you one.”
When I spoke as if testing him, his eyes widened slightly. The Shaman couldn’t meet my gaze and lowered his eyes.
“It’s fine.”
His gaze became distant for a moment.
“There’s absolutely no reason for you to apologize.”
A strange statement. I pondered those words and looked up.
“Dad, thank you for bringing him. Uncle and Uncle too. But I’m sorry, could you please leave now?”
Dad blinked slowly. The expression that followed was close to displeasure.
“…It might be dangerous.”
“Yeah. I’m not asking you to leave completely, I’d like you to stay by the door. All three of you. And thank you for bringing him.”
“Won’t you listen to your Dad this time?”
Even Uncle joined in trying to dissuade me, but I just smiled brightly. Uncle clicked his tongue after reading my stubbornness.
“Dad, and please set up a Barrier so no one can hear the conversation in this Room.”
Dad’s expression became even more distorted.
However, when Mother whispered something beside him, he soon let out a deep sigh.
“What did Mother say?”
“She said if I don’t want to be hated by my Daughter like your Uncle, I should behave myself.”
“What? I’m not hated! I’m not!”
Hei Birang bristled. Regardless, Dad continued speaking.
“…And Our Daughter won’t create situations to worry about. She won’t recklessly start trouble without considering her safety.”
“Ahahaha.”
This was Mother’s way of speaking indirectly. A message to compromise but make sure to stay safe.
I nodded.
“This is my Office, you know.”
I can summon Dad immediately if I want to. I’ve set up this office that way since I started using it a year ago.
Dad and Uncle, understanding my meaning, went outside.
“Little one, do you really have to call Uncle too?”
Finally, Uncle gave a cheeky wink and left. That wasn’t the end of it.
I glanced up at the ceiling.
“Raon, sorry, but could you wait outside too?”
Silence fell over the room for a moment.
Soon someone jumped down behind me and headed for the door.
“Thank you.”
Raon’s gaze briefly turned toward the bound Shaman. Did I see wrong?
I thought I saw an extremely cold look from Raon for a moment, but when I looked again, it was gone.
“I’ll see you shortly, Family Head.”
Raon bowed politely and withdrew. I blinked for a moment.
When he acts like that, he looks kind of… adult-like.
‘Though he is of age…’
The door closed. I couldn’t see it, but a barrier to block sound from this room would have been created too.
I could feel the familiar wind.
“Sit over here.”
I pointed to the table and sat down there myself. His legs weren’t bound, so soon someone hesitantly stood across from me.
“Your legs are fine, aren’t they? Sit down.”
“…Weren’t you going to interrogate me?”
“Interrogate.”
There was no tea or snacks on the table. Such things weren’t necessary.
I rubbed my chin.
“I don’t particularly plan to. Did you do something suspicious?”
“…No.”
“Then there’s no need.”
The Shaman lightly gripped the chair.
“Do you believe my words?”
“No.”
I answered casually and tapped the table.
“But I trust the Warriors who catch suspicious people within the territory and family.”
Soon the chair moved and the Shaman sat across from me while still bound.
“You can untie the rope yourself if you want.”
“It’s fine.”
I shrugged. If that’s what he preferred.
“I called you back because I have something to ask. I’m sorry again that you were captured rather than escorted here.”
“It’s fine. What would you like to ask?”
“About the lie you told me.”
When we talked in the other room, he never took his eyes off me.
But now he could hardly meet her eyes. As if he had truly become a criminal.
Well, it’s not like there’s just one or two things he’s lied to me about.
“That dream you said you had. You said you couldn’t remember the end of the dream, right?”
That couldn’t be true.
He said he had vividly dreamed of his third life. I thought there was no way it would suddenly cut off.
“That’s a lie, isn’t it.”
“….”
The man had no answer.
“That’s my question. No, I guess it’s a request. Tell me the end of the dream.”
