Joseph talked about what he had been through at the place where he always played without an ounce of falsehood.
And at the same time, people were mesmerized by Joseph’s story.
This is because his storytelling and unique speech skills were mixed. Not to mention the fact that it was a very sympathetic story, which made people easily relate to it.
Who was the only one who she tears because of the evil Maple Treatment Center?
When they heard of the treatment center’s mistreatment of Joseph, they were outraged as if it were their own business.
And when they heard the part wherein Joseph met Raymond, they were moved to tears.
“When I met him, it was as if a light was shining through my despair. Thanks to him, my child was able to live. But that doesn’t stop there. Not only did he save my child, he saved our entire family.”
“I don’t know anything else. One thing is for sure, there will be no healer like him anywhere in the world.”
He pulled out the harp.
“Thank you for listening to my long story. This incident inspired this song. The name of the song is…… I’ll go with ‘Majestic Raymond”
Majestic Raymond.
It was a tribute song written solely for Raymond.
Tada~
Along with the sound of the strings of the harp, beautiful sounds rang throughout the street.
It was a warm song to try to contain Raymond’s heart which cares about his patients as much as possible.
At the same time as the song rang out, the sound of praise for Raymond resonated throughout the street.
So the good rumors about him spread with great force.
Baron Canton poured oil on the firewood, and Joseph threw the fire.
“The Baron Penin’s treatment was that good?”
“I recently heard that he was the top student in some kind of education, but I was half-confident.”
“I can’t believe he treated a disease that the Maple Treatment Center gave up to cure. I guess he isn’t a sham after all.”
“Shall I go to his treatment center  too?”
That was not the end of it.
Is it because of the quest privilege of ‘unexpected luck’?
A small magazine company published such an article for Raymond even.
<Who is the newly emerging deity? Baron Penin, in the world of healing?>
Raymond Special!
From saving Princess Sophia during a grand celebration, to what he did in the Bay Area, to treating countless patients and solving infectious diseases, to winning awards.
So far, Raymond’s achievements have been clearly written, but since he had so many accomplishments in a short period of time, the whole thing was filled with praises.
Of course, there was a reason for this article.
<I, Nord, write this special article with gratitude to Baron Penin.>
This is because Raymond treated the daughter of the reporter who wrote this article.
Poor reporter Nord of a small magazine had no money to receive heals despite his daughter’s pain.
‘I went to Penin Treatment Center in desperation and BAron Penin treated my daughter for such a low price that it was almost free of charge.’
‘I can’t believe there’s someone like that in the world. We need to spread it out.’
Raymond’s face seemed tearful at first glance when he told him to just go after treating his daughter, but that would be an illusion.
Nord felt a sense of duty as a journalist.
‘I’ll let the world know how great Raymond is!’
With that in mind, he began the investigation, and he was able to check new facts over and over again.
‘How can he accomplish so much in such a short period of time?’
Nord was appalled.
Raymond wasn’t just a good man who only cares about his patients.
He was an outstanding man who made numerous contributions in a short period of time.
‘I have to spread the word!’
With that in mind, he wrote the feature article with all his might, and of course, the people’s reaction was amazing.
“The Baron Penin has accomplished these great things?”
“Not only did he give treatment to the poor, but he is also responsible for the eradication of underworld guilds, corruption, and infectious diseases. He even transforming the Bay Area now?”
“In recognition of his contribution, he was raised from an illegitimate child to a baron at once?”
Few commoners knew what Raymond had done so far.
Unlike the nobles, there was a narrow passage to hear rumors. And the fact that this all happened in the Bay Area, far from the capital.
However, the feature made many people aware of what Raymond had done.
“No way. Isn’t it a lie? How can he do these things by himself?”
There was also a reaction of disbelief.
However, distrust quickly died down.
***
“No. I heard about it when I went to Langtram. Everything that’s stated there is true.”
“Yes, thanks to BaronPenin, the Bay Area has become inhabited. Everyone has only a voice to praise him.”
“My my.”
The commoners burst into astonishment.
“I can’t believe it. I can’t believe there was someone like this in the world.”
“I thought he was just an ugly illegitimate child.”
An ugly illegitimate child.
This has been the way people look at Raymond until now. Because illegitimate children were despised by commoners as well.
But at this moment, there was a change in people’s perception.
“On the contrary…”
The people swallowed up the gossip.
‘Isn’t he better than real princes?’
Oden, the current king, is a great soldier, but the next princes did not have a particular eye mark on the common people.
Whether it’s Kairn or Lemarton, they only care about powerful nobles, but they don’t care about commoners.
This is because the support of the common people had little impact on the succession of the royal authority, so there was no one with a good reputation among them.
High-altitude princes who are out of touch with themselves.
That was the people’s idea of the current successors to the throne.
Thus, when Raymond’s accomplishments were revealed, it was inevitable to be compared to them.
But people didn’t go any further from there.
‘But how can we compare a lowborn illegitimate child to real princes?’
‘It’s a matter of honor.’
People shook their heads.
“Anyway, I’ll go to Penin Treatment Center next time instead of  Maple Treatment Center.”
“Me too. Me too.”
“They’re kind and they say the cost of treatment is very low!”
“Hmp. Fuck those money-obsessed Maple healers!”
At last, commoner people, who can afford treatment to some extent, began to step into the Penin Treatment Center.
A message popped into Raymond’s mind.
[Your reputation is rising!]
[Achievement: “Healer for Commoners”!]
[Bonus level up!]
[Bonus level up!]
[You received 20 skill points!]
[Bonus: You gain the favor of the commoners!]
It was all thanks to Baron Canton.
It was literally ‘Long Live Baron Canton!’
***
‘At that time, there was someone who was dissatisfied with Raymond’s actions.
A beautiful woman with black hair, blue eyes, and intelligence.
It was Princess Christine, the chief healer at Maple Treatment Center!
She wrinkled her fair forehead.
‘I can’t leave the Penin Treatment Center alone.’
Her reason for doing so was nothing like Baron Canton.
‘I am thinking this out of genuine concern for the patients’
According to her ‘common sense’, medicine is simply not an acceptable treatment.
“Lady? It will be breakfast time with the duke soon, so you need to get ready.”
“I’m thinking of something important. Hold on a second.”
‘No matter how hard I think about it, such a strange treatment will not help the patients.’
There must be significant harm waiting for them after the treatment.
‘We must stop it,’ she thoughtfully, tearing off her nails.
In particular, the treatment of “surgery” was simply unacceptable.
She wasn’t blindly opposed to medicine.
She did her own research and she was shocked.
Surgery!
‘He puts a knife on a patient’s body for treatment? I was so surprised to hear that he sometimes cuts his patient’s stomach or chest with a knife.’
‘What the hell…’
I don’t know what principle they use to treat patients by cutting open the stomach.
‘Fortunately, I don’t think there’s a problem with any patients so far,’ she bit her nails.
‘Anyway, just because it’s been fine so far, doesn’t mean there’s no guarantee it’ll be like that in the future. If he continues with such terrible treatments, I am sure there will be problems.’
The difficulty is that Raymond’s treatment was recognized by King Oden.
There was no way to stop the medical practice forcefully.
‘What should I do?’
At that time, the maid next to him called out.
“Lady! The duke is waiting! We need to get ready quickly!”
“Whether the old man waits or not….”
“I beg your pardon?”
“No. I didn’t say anything. I’ll get up, so please be ready.”
The maids crowded in and dressed her up.
Washed her up, made her up, dressed her in fancy clothes, put on ornaments on her, and groomed her hair.
‘…Do I have to go this far to eat breakfast?’
Christine sighed.
It’s like being played like a doll.
“Wow, you’re so beautiful. You’re even prettier when dolled up a little, so dress up a little more…”
“It’s okay because I’m pretty even if I don’t dress up.”
“…What?”
“I am pretty without makeup, right? I have transcendent beauty.”
Leaving the embarrassed maids behind, Christine headed to the breakfast place.
‘Oh, I want to go to work.’
Her head ached at the thought of meeting her family.
Located on the outskirts of the capital, Raven’s mansion was magnificent and spacious as if to tell the power and prestige of the duke.
In fact, the Duke of Raven was the most powerful of the royal nobles.
In terms of family power alone, it is superior to Chancellor Galman.
The power of the 2nd Prince Kairn overwhelmed the 3rd Prince Lemarton because of the Duke of Raven’s support for Kairn.
If Kairn takes the throne, the family will surely become the best in the kingdom in name and reality.
It was even said that she would become Kairn’s spouse in public.
She would later become the supreme queen, but Christine’s face turned sour upon remembering that encounter.
‘Damn, do I have to marry that psychopath? If that’s the case, I’d rather stick my nose in the saucer and die.’
“Are you there?”
When she opened the door, Christine saw a spacious and colorful restaurant like a banquet hall.
It was her older brother and younger siblings who were seated in advance.
“It’s been a while.”
“Yes, sister. Long time no see.”
“When on earth would you quit your job as a healer?”
Alfred, the eldest son of the family and heir to the Raven family, spoke solemnly.
“You’re old now, and you should stop playing such low games.”
A low game.
Christine wriggled her eyebrows at the word.
“That’s right, sister. Do you know how much people laugh at you at the banquet hall?”
“We’re embarrassed to death. Please do it in moderation, even for the sake of the family’s face.”
“You do not have any chronic illness, do you?”
This was the way her family looked at what she was doing.
No, it wasn’t just the family.
Among the high-ranking aristocrats at the level of a Count or higher, there was no one who did not laugh at her working as a healer.
“How could you do such a low-key job that doesn’t suit your status?”
“I can’t believe you’re hanging out with the commoner. As a high-ranking aristocrat, you should be ashamed of yourself.”
