The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 85

 

Fortunately, Detlef seemed to think he had collapsed because his body had lost strength.

 

“S-save me. No, please save me! I’ll do anything! This body has received an important mission from the great Imperial Palace and has much work to do!! I can’t die here!”

 

The desire for survival is the same for everyone, regardless of age or gender. The nobleman before me was no different.

 

And I usually dealt with those who insulted me. Or those with shady backgrounds. Anyway, I dealt with bad guys in their own way.

 

I smiled as brightly as spring sunshine.

 

“Ah, so… you’ll do anything, is that right?”

 

* * *

 

On the way out of the Deputy Village Chief’s House.

 

Detlef, who had been busy acting arrogant as soon as he woke up earlier, immediately tucked his tail between his legs at my single word and became a trembling beast.

 

‘M-money! Just money! Is money all that’s needed? I’ll pay any amount!’

 

In fact, Detlef and Sylvester had passed through several cities on their way here, and no one there had been able to treat Detlef’s illness.

 

So when I scared him just a little, he immediately tucked his tail. It was laughable how he had acted arrogantly and insulted me.

 

Dealing with such people is too easy. They worry so much about their health.

 

If you subtly hint that the treatment might disappear if they don’t listen, there’s nothing they won’t agree to.

 

Anyway, I cleanly dealt with Detlef and brought Lord Rederick back to the Deputy Village Chief’s House.

 

‘I will keep silent about everything I saw earlier. I swear on my abilities.’

 

The Lord made an oath I didn’t even ask for, saying he wouldn’t tell anyone anywhere.

 

‘Hmm, the more I see, the more I like this person.’

 

Then he had Coma call his knight and said he would make sure personnel and supplies to help us would arrive faster.

 

Now rumors that the Hei Family had arrived would spread.

 

And since the epidemic would gradually begin to subside, people wouldn’t be as reluctant to come as before when called.

 

‘Don’t worry about money. As you saw earlier, the Emperor’s envoy will take care of it.’

 

‘Yes, haha. That’s reassuring. And your resourcefulness is remarkable too.’

 

“Now we don’t have to worry about money.”

 

At my muttering, Dad stopped walking.

 

“Were you planning to do this from the beginning?”

 

“Hmm…”

 

I had seen in the 3rd round Cheimic Village records that the person sent from the Imperial Palace had died.

 

As soon as I heard about the Imperial envoy from Lord Rederick, I thought of it.

 

‘Since treating the envoy was unavoidable anyway, I figured I might as well extract some benefit from it.’

 

And it was successful.

 

I met Sylvester, and with that man’s cooperation, I was able to learn the purpose of the Imperial envoy.

 

‘Since the Imperial Palace is my final destination, I need to know what they’re up to at this time.’

 

I remember the major events, so I just need to know what they’re scheming right now.

 

I was about to answer Dad when I hesitated. There was one inconvenient person here to speak freely with Dad.

 

“Am I bothering you? Please, have your conversation comfortably.”

 

That was Sylvester.

 

He had just silently watched me deal with Detlef, then followed us out saying he would see us off.

 

“How far are you coming?”

 

“Pardon? I must pay my debt. Didn’t you ask me to tell you the envoy’s purpose?”

 

Ah, you followed us to tell me that?

 

I didn’t think you were the conscientious type.

 

This was from my third life when I had risen to the position of Supreme Physician. After that, I was frequently called to the Imperial Palace as an advisor.

 

The Emperor was often not in his right mind due to his chronic illness.

 

‘I had a way to treat him but pretended not to know.’

 

My only goal was the Imperial Palace’s treasure.

 

I naturally had occasions to greet Sylvester, who managed the reports.

 

After Sylvester learned I was the Supreme Physician, he would come asking me trivial questions.

 

‘By any chance, is there a poison that could make someone die of natural suffocation?’

 

‘Are you really asking a physician that?’

 

‘The Hei Family was also a master of poisons, wasn’t it? You must have sold quite a bit of poison in the underworld.’

 

His questions were generally like this.

 

I think I detested Sylvester, who was already a successor of the Eight Families tormenting me and only asked strange questions.

 

Even so, while I was lurking around the Imperial treasury looking for a way to steal the treasure.

 

I got to watch this man slack off every single time.

 

‘He lived quite quietly for his status, but who would have known he’d deliberately ruin his own family like that.’

 

He was an impressive person.

 

“This should be far enough.”

 

We arrived at a secluded spot on one side of the village. Perhaps because it was a village full of sick people, everywhere felt gloomy.

 

The path we had taken was filled with the groaning sounds of patients, foul odors, and children coughing everywhere, unable even to cry.

 

…Seeing this, I can’t think of anything but quickly resolving the Family Head’s request, whatever it may be.

 

Sylvester, who had stopped in the alley, spoke to Dad.

 

“Now block the sound with wind.”

 

I thought Dad might be offended, but for some reason, Dad obediently created a wind barrier.

 

Then he glanced at me and asked.

 

“Physician, now that no one can hear us, may I beat him up a little?”

 

…You were feeling bad.

 

But what can you do about that. Why do I increasingly feel like I’m raising about three children?

 

When I’m the child here?

 

“Will that work? You shouldn’t give orders to Dad either.”

 

“Ah, I understand.”

 

Why does that person act so obediently toward me? It makes me feel unnecessarily wary.

 

“First, let me quickly tell you about the imperial envoys’ objective. I can roughly guess why you’re curious about it…”

 

He roughly knows? I was momentarily surprised but didn’t show it.

 

“It’s a well-known fact that the Hei Family gathers Imperial Palace information to restore their honor.”

 

“Ah….”

 

Our Family Head’s ambition, you mean. I nodded roughly.

 

“I’ll get straight to the point. The imperial envoys’ objective is to travel around each major territory and have the lords search for ‘something’.”

 

“Something?”

 

“Yes. Um…. This might sound absurd to you, Physician. We’re looking for a small white fox.”

 

I was startled. And the presence in the bag I was holding seemed even more startled.

 

I pressed down and hugged the bag that had started vibrating. Does Raon know they’re talking about him?

 

More than that, why is Raon’s story suddenly coming up here?

 

“A fox? That’s such a random topic.”

 

“Well. It would sound that way.”

 

Sylvester crossed his arms. He seemed to be thinking for a moment.

 

“Physician, how much do you know about the Eastern Continent?”

 

…I don’t know much, right? Only that the culture is Eastern-style?

 

The original story only progresses with the Western Continent as the setting.

 

The protagonist Hei Ayan becomes the Family Head, survives the Empire’s conspiracies.

 

The story concludes when she becomes a physician recognized across all continents.

 

The Eastern Continent was her ancestors’ origin and the trial she had to overcome her entire life.

 

“Despite having so many immigrants, there are actually few who know the Eastern Continent well. Most are second or third-generation immigrants. Many first-generation immigrants kept their mouths shut and died when asked.”

 

“What are you trying to say?”

 

“The Western Continent has great interest in that place. Isn’t this a place that already lacks physicians and healing ability users? His Majesty the Emperor was particularly interested.”

 

It was famous that the Emperor had been ambitious since he was young.

 

Wasn’t his son the Crown Prince of a similar disposition?

 

“There are mysterious beings in the Eastern Continent. I hear they’re beings that can become both human and beast. His Majesty brought such a being to the Imperial Palace after long efforts.”

 

“…If I didn’t hear wrong, it sounds like he kidnapped someone?”

 

No, if it’s a beast, is it smuggling?

 

I found myself hugging the bag with Raon even tighter. I felt like I understood why this child was trembling.

 

“That’s not wrong. The being from the Eastern Continent that His Majesty brought was in the form of a woman.”

 

Contempt flashed across Sylvester’s face.

 

“His Majesty the Emperor cherished the woman brought from the Eastern Continent very much, and there’s also a being born under her.”

 

“…What?”

 

“The woman from the Eastern Continent hid her child. But that thing’s form is that of an animal…. It may be hard to believe, but this is as much as I can tell you.”

 

I was dumbfounded.

 

What am I hearing right now when I came here to treat an epidemic?

 

If what he’s saying is true….

 

‘Does that mean our Raon is the Emperor’s child?’
