The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 81

 

The Hei Family and the Imperial Palace. These two forces don’t get along very well.

 

Especially since the Family Head of the Hei Family failed to treat the Emperor 10 years ago.

 

That said, they couldn’t ignore the abilities of the Hei Family, which had tremendous influence on the Empire and the Western Continent, so while there wasn’t any overt pressure, they were certainly sensitive names to each other.

 

At least as far as I knew, the Imperial Palace always prowled around like hyenas, constantly searching for the Hei Family’s weaknesses.

 

I recalled something.

 

‘It’s not surprising. I definitely remember it.’

 

When I was researching to treat the Cheimik disease, I had read it in the records.

 

That an imperial envoy of the Emperor had also died in Cheimic Village.

 

This was also what made the epidemic that spread from Cheimik more widely known.

 

‘At that time, a really important envoy who had received crucial orders died without a sound… I think I heard that the Imperial Palace was troubled by it later.’

 

The one who told me this story was my only ‘friend.’

 

‘Oh, don’t even mention it. How much they pressured Father back then. I think they ordered him to find something.’

 

‘If the Imperial Palace was looking for it, it must have been incredibly precious.’

 

‘I don’t know about that… But you smell nice, did you know?’

 

‘Stop talking nonsense and take your medicine.’

 

The Emperor’s envoy was unlucky enough to die from disease in this village.

 

‘But did the envoy come here knowing that an epidemic had already spread? Or did he come without knowing and then fall ill?’

 

Just then, Lord Rederick provided the answer.

 

“I heard he came here about 3 days ago, and was already in a serious condition. I received the report, but what could I do? I was also hovering between life and death.”

 

“…”

 

“When they find out I’ve recovered, they’ll come to threaten me.”

 

I pondered for a moment before speaking.

 

“I see. It’s not just any Imperial Palace person, but an envoy?”

 

Lord Rederick, who looked surprised for a moment, soon nodded.

 

“It seems the news has reached the Hei Family. Yes, it’s an envoy.”

 

Certainly, if an envoy dies in this village, even if we save everyone else, the blame will fall on the Hei Family.

 

“Thank you for telling me.”

 

“Not at all. If there’s anything more I can help you with, please let me know, Physician.”

 

“Same here.”

 

I smiled slightly while hugging the bag containing Raon.

 

“I won’t forget the help you gave me this time.”

 

The Lord probably had his own calculations, but it was true that he helped me.

 

“…I should tell my assistant to send letters to the Lord’s Castle more quickly.”

 

“It’s fine to go directly once everyone is healed.”

 

“No, I want to see the people here recover before I leave.”

 

The Lord scratched his neck.

 

“Of course, I do miss my Wife…”

 

I felt Dad flinch behind me.

 

I was slowly getting a sense of things.

 

‘He seems to be reacting to talk about his Wife from earlier.’

 

Should I ask more to test it out?

 

“Are you two close as a couple?”

 

The Lord was surprised for a moment, then smiled. It was a warm atmosphere.

 

At least until the noise intruded at that moment.

 

“My Lord! Count Rederick!”

 

Bang! The sound of a door opening was heard.

 

This Place was the Deputy Village Chief’s House.

 

Since the Village Chief was also bedridden at his own Home, the Lord had no choice but to stay here.

 

The soundproofing wasn’t good, so we could hear everything from the Entrance opening.

 

The voice we heard was definitely that of Intermediate Physician Coma, whom the Lord had sent out earlier.

 

The footsteps entering the Corridor weren’t from just one person.

 

‘Multiple people…’

 

Dad picked me up and held me.

 

“Knights in battle formation are with them. They’re full of killing intent. Should I just take them down first?”

 

“What? Wait a minute…!”

 

Before I could say anything to Dad.

 

Crash bang clang!

 

“Aaaahhh!”

 

“What! Why are you falling?”

 

“I, I tripped on something!”

 

Along with a thunderous noise like the Floor was breaking, screams from people could be heard in the chaos.

 

I was dumbfounded.

 

Anyone could see it was Dad’s doing. From what they said about tripping on something, he must have played tricks with Wind Power.

 

“What are you doing?”

 

When I looked up at Dad who was holding me, he was unexpectedly brazen.

 

Like a wildcat that causes trouble then cries asking what it did wrong.

 

“Rudeness without even knocking should be pointed out.”

 

“…Dad has no manners either.”

 

“What?”

 

Well, anyway, it wasn’t unhelpful. Both the Lord and I had gained some time to prepare.

 

Soon the door opened wide.

 

“You’re here!”

 

What strode in was a Knight wearing a pure white Uniform.

 

However, seeing the dark red blood stains scattered across his uniform and his haggard face, it seemed he had endured hardships.

 

“According to this man’s words, Count Rederick has awakened and recovered.”

 

Three Knights had come to visit. Beside the Knights was Coma, trembling violently.

 

‘How far did that person run in such a short time?’

 

Coma avoided eye contact, perhaps frightened because of what Uncle and Uncle had done to him.

 

The oldest Knight among them, who looked like their captain, was startled to see Count Rederick sitting there perfectly fine.

 

“Lord. You have truly recovered.”

 

“Sir Trahan.”

 

The Knight’s eyes, which had been scanning the room quickly, stopped on Dad.

 

“Are you the Physician who restored the Lord?”

 

…Is Dad being misunderstood again?

 

‘Though it’s only natural.’

 

At this point, it might be better to put Dad forward as a figurehead(?) and work as the real power behind the scenes.

 

Having such idle thoughts, I leaned my head against Dad.

 

Lord Rederick seemed to be looking at me. I secretly pursed my lips as if giving a kiss and brought my index finger to them, making a shushing gesture.

 

The Lord looked at me and smiled slightly, but only briefly.

 

“Mmph?!”

 

Dad caught my lips. Of course it didn’t hurt, but I was bewildered.

 

“What are you doing?”

 

“Mmph mmph!”

 

You need to let go so I can talk, Father!

 

“Don’t do that to just anyone.”

 

…So what exactly?

 

“Haha, your father is quite jealous. Well… I would probably be the same.”

 

The Lord was laughing heartily like a cheerful man again. He had a face that understood everything by himself, but I wish someone would let me know what it was too.

 

“Didn’t you hear? I asked if you were a Physician.”

 

Before I knew it, the Knight had stepped closer to Dad and asked. Instead of answering, Dad looked at me with a somewhat dumbfounded expression.

 

‘Hmm, was it because I briefly thought of a wildcat earlier?’

 

Behind Dad’s face now, I could see the face of some giant feline beast overlapping.

 

It felt like looking at a cat before it causes trouble.

 

I nodded toward the Knight.

 

While Dad frowned, not knowing what my nodding meant.

 

“That’s right!”

 

I quickly pointed at Dad.

 

“This person is the Physician. My Dad!”

 

“As I thought.”

 

Brother Gyewon and Dad’s eyes turned toward me simultaneously. Their faces asked what I was thinking.

 

“…Huh?”

 

Especially Dad’s gaze was so intense it seemed like it would poke my cheeks at any moment.

 

– Let me tell you in advance, I don’t know how to treat people.

 

Dad’s voice reached my ears, audible only to me. It was a grumpy tone.

 

Who wouldn’t know that before saying it?

 

– Your voice can’t be heard right now, so just speak.

 

“Can’t you tell the Lord? The purpose of those two knights is to bring physicians to the Emperor’s envoy.”

 

Seeing that Coma came along too, he must have heard the whole situation.

 

‘A physician came from the Hei Family Estate and instantly treated the Lord. That must have been the story.’

 

However, they don’t seem to know that I’m the physician.

 

If I reveal here ‘I am that very physician!’ I’d have to repeat the explanation process from when I first met Coma. It’s already bothersome.

 

‘I just want to focus on treating patients.’

 

I decided to make a shameless demand.
