The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 217

* * *

The next day.

The moment I entered the conference room, I felt a sharp atmosphere. When I turned my head, I saw the Emperor’s faction nobles looking at me hostilely, unlike yesterday.

There was definitely a stark difference from yesterday.

‘I guess they think they were ignored?’

They must have been frustrated that they couldn’t even start the meeting yesterday. And for good reason, since there weren’t just one or two agenda items to discuss at this meeting.

But since the schedule got tangled up from the first day, their stay would be extended until other agenda items were finished.

This was definitely not a welcome fact for those who had been comfortably lounging around in the Imperial Capital and the capital.

I laughed inwardly.

‘So what?’

Do you think I’ll be scared if you glare at me?

The eyes of patients desperately begging me to save their lives would be much scarier.

I personally stared at each of the nobles one by one and smiled at them. Then, every single one who made eye contact with me averted their gaze.

‘It’s probably not just because of me.’

I glanced around briefly.

Behind me, Dad was standing just like yesterday. Seeing how incredibly cold his eyes were, he must have been earnestly directing killing intent at them.

Or… there was a high possibility he had warned them about something only they could hear.

I covered my mouth with my sleeve and laughed.

‘How reassuring this is.’

Moreover, the medicine Mother made for me worked better than expected. The symptoms that had appeared due to my depleted lifespan had cleanly disappeared.

I glanced at Mother briefly. She was floating next to Dad, looking at me with concern, so I secretly waved my hand to signal that I was okay.

“Ahem, I am Baron Eastwood, in charge of recording and moderating. From today, I will be handling the moderation.”

As if determined not to repeat the same mistake as yesterday, today an elderly baron stood up to take charge of the proceedings.

I rolled my eyes.

The Crown Prince was glaring at me as if he wanted to kill me, but when our eyes met, he softened the corners of his eyes.

As if saying, go ahead and try it again if you want.

‘Ah, if you’re going to look at me like that.’

I grinned wickedly.

Shouldn’t I live up to your expectations?

* * *

Bang!

– What the hell is that supposed to be!

I scratched my ear and looked up at the ceiling. A pleased exhale flowed out.

“Wow, the Crown Prince is really angry~”

I muttered leisurely, mimicking Uncle’s tone.

Ten minutes had passed since the second meeting ended. By the way, today’s meeting lasted about an hour?

– What are those guys scheming! Can’t you even figure out something like this! What are you all doing!!

The sound reaching my ears was the Crown Prince throwing a tantrum in the conference room.

Having a capable Wind Mage makes this kind of entertainment possible. It would be perfect if I had some popcorn.

The raging voice suddenly cut off.

I looked at Dad.

“The Wind Mage over there took action.”

“Ah.”

The moderator in charge of this meeting seemed to have reflected on yesterday’s events and started with quite neutral words.

As if determined not to give us any openings.

However, only the beginning went smoothly.

‘Does the Hei Family acknowledge the unauthorized occupation of Imperial property?’

‘We don’t~’

‘…We don’t, what?’

‘Family Head of the Hei Family! This is a sacred meeting, maintain proper decorum! How dare you, before His Highness the Crown Prince…!’

‘If you’re all so great, why were you so rude yesterday?’

‘So you’re saying you won’t acknowledge it?’

‘Our Family hasn’t committed any crimes.’

We didn’t do it. We don’t know. What’s that supposed to be?

My answers didn’t stray from these three responses. I acted like a shameless congressman who committed corruption.

I didn’t actually commit corruption, but you guys aren’t exactly innocent either, right? Did you think I wouldn’t notice your petty fault-finding?

‘These vagrants from the Eastern Continent!’

And when they came at me like this, I knew one of the Crown Prince’s Nobles would cross the line.

I seized on this to break up the meeting in the same sequence as yesterday.

I know you all very well.

The Crown Prince’s associates were all High Nobles bound together by pride. They had never bowed down, and discriminators who looked down on Eastern Continent People either subtly or openly were rampant.

I had fully anticipated that a light scratch would make them react.

In the end, this fight was about how well we knew each other.

They were truly complacent.

Even after watching the Eight Families fall like that, did they learn nothing?

‘No wait. They probably think it was only possible because we were holed up in our Territory.’

It wasn’t even funny.

And so the second meeting also ended in failure. The third one tomorrow would probably be even more aggressive.

At this point, would they come at us desperately without holding back? Or would they try to act refined at least once more?

“Thanks for telling me, Dad.”

I expressed my gratitude to Dad and went outside the barracks to take a leisurely stroll.

My every move would reach the Crown Prince’s ears, so I was deliberately showing off my composure.

‘Get more furious, more furious.’

I rubbed my chin and smiled inwardly.

“Dad, over here.”

I wandered around pretending to take a leisurely walk, then stopped at one spot and spoke.

Dad, who had been accompanying me, quietly nodded.

At that moment, wind suddenly blew. It was a whirlwind. Strong enough to briefly obscure the vision of anyone nearby.

While everyone’s view was blocked, I entered a tent.

Inside the tent, two men were standing.

“You came.”

One of them was Hei Birang. Little Uncle waved his hand with an indifferent expression and turned around without hesitation.

“I’ll be outside. Call me when you need me.”

“Yeah, thanks. Little Uncle.”

After Hei Birang left, I looked at the remaining person.

He was a handsome man with round glasses. Was he in his mid-thirties now?

It was Sylvester.

“It’s been a while, Miss. No, you’re the Family Head now, aren’t you?”

“It has been quite a long time since we met.”

I had briefly reunited with Sylvester, whom I first met at age three, when I was around eleven.

He had stopped by the Hei Family Estate while traveling to a nearby territory on Imperial orders.

“Has everything been alright?”

Sylvester smiled slightly. He shrugged his shoulders.

“Yes. Nothing special except that my family is about to collapse.”

He said it as if it were nothing.

“I was quite surprised. I was resting at my lodging when I was suddenly kidnapped.”

“Haha. Sorry, it seemed difficult for you to slip away alone?”

“It’s fine. I wanted to see you too.”

We had been steadily exchanging letters. I had also heard about Imperial politics and situations from Sylvester.

“I would have just had to listen to His Highness the Crown Prince’s complaints anyway, so this worked out well.”

“Haha, is he throwing a tantrum?”

“It’s fantastic.”

Sylvester laughed. It was a laugh close to a sneer.

Then he looked at me and expressed quiet admiration.

“I never thought there would be someone who could rile up the Crown Prince to this extent. I’m genuinely impressed. I have much to learn.”

“You’re too kind.”

Sylvester even clapped his hands lightly.

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I’m looking forward to the results.”

After saying this, he slowly lowered his gaze.

“So is there something you’re curious about regarding me? There must be a reason you called me directly.”

That was correct. There was something I wanted to hear about by meeting him in person.

“The Second Prince who arrived at the Imperial Palace, you met him too, right?”

It was about Raon.

I thought meeting like this was dangerous.

‘But I’m too curious, and I want to hear about it…’

Because I’m worried about that child and want to see him.

“Ah. Of course. The Imperial Palace was in complete chaos. They say the Emperor, who was lying on his sickbed, suddenly sat up.”

“…”

I gently rubbed my throat.

“How is that child doing?”

Sylvester had known for a long time that Raon was the Second Prince and that the Hei Family had been hiding him.

“Hmm…”

Sylvester hesitated a little. I became nervous. Is something wrong?

“Did he adapt well?”

“Adaptation…”

Uncle’s letters only said he was fine, so I couldn’t tell.

What if that timid child is struggling alone without being able to tell even Uncle?

“He’s doing so well that it might be a problem.”

“As expected, he couldn’t adapt…, huh?”

I opened my eyes wide. Sylvester also looked slightly surprised and tilted his head.

“Where did you give him such education? Not just etiquette, but his rhetoric is just… He’s practically toying with the old nobles.”

“Huh…?”

“It’s amazing that the Hei Family can provide such high-level education. I see you in a new light.”

“Huh?”

…What does this mean?

“His sarcasm and sharp tongue are admirable. That young friend who just became an adult is quite impressive. No, he was a Prince, that’s right.”

Several anecdotes flowed from Sylvester.

“…What happened for him to be like that?”

“Well, simply put, it was hazing. It’s something that usually happens even when a new noble enters, not just a Prince. But instead, he rendered the nobles who picked fights with him speechless. Strangely, there were people who got struck by lightning while picking fights?”

…That must be Uncle.

“There were also cases of being attacked in the middle of the night without anyone knowing.”

…It seems like Raon took action himself too.

While listening to the anecdotes, I could only blink my eyes.

…This is very different from the Raon I know?
