090 He has a secret (1)
– Whoops!
I couldn’t quite figure out what it was.
I stared blankly at the man standing in front of me and his white hair slowly falling apart.
What happened?
“Ugh…”
“Sir Haines.”
My voice was faster than my brain judged.
Loud, Sir Johann Haines sat down on the theater floor.
I reflexively grabbed his shoulder and looked around.
Confused, Kristel was quickly approaching this way.
The demonic beast, ‘Esprey’, who was replicating its appearance, did not show even a trace.
“Sir Haines, there is blood.”
“it’s okay.”
“It looks bad.”
The side of his white shirt was soaking red in an instant.
My fingertips trembled a little at the sound of my words.
I immediately closed my eyes and drew a healing circle of ‘hemostasis’ that I had memorized for so long.
I thought I wouldn’t be able to succeed all at once because of my embarrassment, but I did it safely.
I didn’t forget to recite the starting words.
[I declare that the fountain of the Lord will never run dry.]
-aaa
A blue etheric circle appeared.
The circle around me and Sir Haynes began to spin slowly in a clockwise direction, creating azure particles.
The grains rushed to the side of Lord Haines.
Kristel leaned back and squatted in front of him.
His large eyes were moistened with astonishment and guilt.
“What do you do, sir? because of me. what should we do. I’m sorry.”
“It’s not because of the princess… You forgot what I said.”
Sir Haines leaned back in the audience seat.
The blood was definitely stopping, and the stain on his shirt didn’t get any bigger.
But there were drops of sweat on his forehead.
“It was the first time I saw Esprit when I was very young. I forgot he has teeth. You have to be careful when you kill them…”
“What is it? Not even squid teeth…”
Kristel frowned and smiled as if crying.
I lightly patted her on the shoulder. it’s okay. It’s not your fault.
“Then you have teeth in your body now? Do you have any poison?”
I asked as calmly as possible. If so, open the ‘detox’ circle.
He was a low-level beast, so it’s enough for the introductory course I memorized,
“There is no poison. But, um…”
He smiled as if embarrassed. A clear pain was reflected in his mint-colored eyes.
“I’m digging into my flesh little by little. It must have penetrated me.”
Me and Kristel’s mouths opened slightly.
“Elizabeth. Is your father at the Count’s house?”
It was Prince Sedric’s voice that broke the brief silence. I hurriedly looked away.
Sir Elizabeth, who had suddenly entered the room, was standing next to the prince and grasping the situation.
She said to her friend with a determined look.
“Come. Let’s go to my house.”
*
“Sir Haines, Earl of Mutte, says it’s five minutes from the opera house. It is much closer than the Imperial Palace. Be patient.”
I quickly climbed into the carriage and said. The healing circle of ‘hemostasis’ was maintained all the time.
At first it seemed as if the blood had stopped, but the teeth continued to pierce the patient’s body, creating new wounds.
Although the pain must have been severe, Lord Haines, lying in the carriage, was surprisingly quiet.
Ganael, who was sitting next to me, held out the painkiller that he had brought as an over-the-counter medicine.
I wouldn’t listen to this kind of injury, but it’s better than nothing.
“Canael, I have to stay here and clear the scene.”
Sir Elizabeth stood by the carriage door and said:
Thanks to the effect of my oracle, fortunately, the front of the theater was not very noisy.
However, the job of the commander of the imperial neighbourhood was not over.
Canael nodded his head calmly.
“I will tell you well. Do not worry.”
“Yeah, I’ll trust you.”
Count Soh interlocked with the boy with one hand and released it.
Then he bowed down to me and Sir Haynes, and hurriedly closed the door.
Then, as if waiting, the carriage began to move.
I took the painkiller with a small spoon and fed Sir Haynes, then lifted his neck slightly and poured the water into his mouth.
“It is an analgesic.”
“It’s still tolerable.”
“Not everyone is an Archbishop-level paladin.”
He was fed up with my words. He looked a little tired as usual, but now he looked completely Parisian.
I glanced out the window.
The imperial carriage carrying the prince was driving ahead, and behind him was the carriage of the Duke of Sarnez with Benjamin.
A wagon carrying escorts also caught my eye.
“I didn’t know that the rimless martyr’s father-in-law was a doctor.”
murmured Sir Haynes. I nodded and agreed.
Healing priests were not the only ones using medicine in the ‘Toegye Gong’ worldview.
There were ordinary doctors who treated internal and external medicine like the royal doctors of the royal palace.
In particular, I heard that commoners find it difficult to meet a healing priest due to their status and economic problems, so they usually seek out general members.
Even if you can’t heal your body in an instant like a priest, you can make it better anyway.
I looked down at the patient quietly and opened my mouth.
“Thank you, Sir Haynes.”
“What?”
“You saved me. I saw the teeth of a demonic beast fly to my chest.”
He furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
“I just did what I had to do.”
His brow furrowed in response.
‘What to do’ meant the act of protecting me at the request of Crown Princess Elisa.
It’s not like I didn’t know that yet…
“Still, I want you to save yourself to some extent.”
I said. His eyes widened slightly as if in surprise.
In the Western medieval worldview, it must have been an honorable act for a knight to risk his life to protect someone.
I knew I would have died if he hadn’t stopped.
So it was a serious contradiction to say this.
But I was an ordinary Korean living in the 21st century.
It was frightening to see someone else get hurt and hurt on my behalf. I was also very sorry.
Even if this place is in a novel.
“I’m not a knight, and I haven’t seen much blood. You may think that you are weak. I’m not making a foolish request not to protect me. but······. I hope Haines is in good health.”
Having said that, I shut my mouth. I don’t even know what this means. I was upset.
“…as the prince heard,”
– Hehehe!
The cry of the horse broke the sentence of Lord Haines.
Looking out the window, the majestic Earl Rimless was shining brightly in the darkness of the night.
The wagon slowed and the sound of an iron gate opening was heard.
Soon, the procession that entered the mansion completely stopped moving.
Canael, who was sitting outside, immediately opened the door of the wagon. One of the Count’s knights approached.
“A fishman in the Imperial Household, Prince Calamar?”
“Yes, it is me. Please tell your father that there is a patient who needs surgery. His Majesty the Prince is riding in the carriage ahead.”
“Oh, I see. I’ll see you right away!”
The knight politely bowed, then quickly taunted him and disappeared.
Canael turned to me and smiled.
I thought you were close with Sir Elizabeth, but now that I see you, they are on the level of siblings.
*
Sir Haynes was put on a stretcher as soon as he got off the carriage and was immediately taken to the office of Sir Michel Mutte, Sir Elizabeth’s father.
Sir Michelle met us in person because of preparations for surgery, but the prince didn’t mind.
With a sigh, I was greeted by the countess’ servants.
Everyone seemed to be very friendly with Canael.
“Prince Jesse?”
Then a familiar voice rang in my ears.
When I turned my head, Eva Blanquer, the guest here, came out wearing a gown over her pajamas.
It was then that I remembered the existence of the little princess. Wow, how crazy I must have been.
“Eva, how are you?”
Asking to let go of the horse, I couldn’t afford to do that, and agreed to call my name.
Eva replied bravely to my greeting.
“yes. I don’t have a brother, so it’s nice and quiet. But why didn’t Sir Elizabeth come, and the people in the party… Hick!”
His dark brown eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.
“Wow, see you, His Majesty the Prince! Hello, Princess Sarnez…”
The boy’s face turned red and he bowed his head, not knowing what to do.
They must have been the faces he had seen at the small duke’s duel, but he was constantly fiddling with the sleeves and waist straps of his gown, noticing what was so embarrassing.
It was easy to keep a poker face that day.
He said that he wanted a religious companionship, and it seemed that he truly admired the other person.
“Hello, Princess Blanquere. I couldn’t say goodbye properly. I didn’t know you were in the Count’s House.”
Kristel smiled and accepted the child’s greeting.
I was a little worried because she had shown great malice towards the little duke, but fortunately, he seemed to have no feelings for his brother.

Of course, considering Kristel’s personality.
“Shall we come and change clothes? I will change and come.”
“No, you will be fine soon. It’s still fine. It’s cute.”
At the words of the protagonist, Eva’s face changed like a burning sweet potato.
The prince quietly went to the drawing room. It seemed like I had come here often to see what looked as comfortable as my own home.
We sat down on the sofa with him. The servants diligently brought coffee and refreshments.
About 30 minutes have passed since then.
“I must have been too excited. I didn’t mean to cut him down.”
Kristel muttered as she stared at the cup of coffee.
I gently grabbed her hand, which kept tormenting her nail polish, and dried it. Then it bleeds
“Princess, I said it was a simple operation, so please feel free to drink this. Stewed chestnuts are delicious.”
When she placed two simmered chestnuts and a slice of prezi on an empty plate, she poked the chestnuts with a fork and popped it in her mouth.
Both cheeks swelled up in a round shape. You are the type of person who eats a lot when stressed.
I smiled bitterly.
Even if it were me, I felt guilty.
Even if I didn’t know the existence of the tooth, even if it wasn’t intentional, because something happened at my fingertips and someone got hurt.
Since Kristel has a lot of leftovers, today’s work will always be on her mind.
-smart
“come in.”
The prince immediately responded to the knock.
Behind the doorbell, an unfamiliar middle-aged man appeared.
He was a man with dark gray hair cut short and deep gray eyes.
Since the prince rarely gets up from his seat, we also got up. That’s him.
“Sir Michelle.”
“majesty.”
The two men shook hands.
Sir Michel Mutte bowed slightly, but as he patted the back of the prince’s hand with his other hand, they seemed to be close.
“The surgery went well. The removed teeth were also burned immediately. Fortunately, there was no organ damage, and the patient is basically in good health and will recover quickly.”
“Good job.”
The prince answered. Me and Kristel took a deep breath. thank god.
“If you use healing power, it is a wound that will heal in three or four days. Prince Jesse.”
Sir Michelle looked at me with a soft gaze and greeted me.
I bowed my head to express my gratitude. Let’s try to aim for three days.
“Let’s see, my prospective son-in-law is also here.”
Then Sir Michelle stretched out his arm behind me. Yeah?
“father.”
Canael answered. huh?
“Yeah, I think I’m tall now.”
Sir Michelle smiled softly and hugged Canael once.
He also made a side-by-side sound on both cheeks.
······uh?
*
“Are you sure you saw it?”
“·················ogue.”
Cedric didn’t answer. Elizabeth knew it meant positive.
The theater owner and secretary of the opera house were handed over to the Imperial Guard, and the guards were sent to secure eyewitness statements, and after completing the follow-up, it was 12 o’clock at night.
Sir Haines, the patient, even so, I did not know that Cedric, Prince Jesse, and Princess Kristel would also be staying at the Count’s residence.
It had been a long time since I had brought friends into my house, so it was both fun and funny.
Watching the opening performance of the opera must have been an insignificant schedule, but I wondered how it happened.
Cedric, Prince, Kristel. When the three of us get together like this, an incident must have occurred.
“How far do you want to go?”
“From birth to the present.”
“What, are you serious?”
The prince looked out the window instead of muttering.
The clear moonlight was kindly illuminating the Count’s house.
He clearly remembered what he had seen in the theater.
The white teeth hit by the princess’s sword, and the abnormal trajectory it drew.
The angle of the bounce was strange, and the actions of the Paladin that followed were suspicious.
Why does the air attribute Archbishop-level use his own body as a shield?
Would you say that the body was faster than the etheric instinct?
He was able to shove a tooth into a corner without lifting a finger.
The surprised prince and princess didn’t seem to care, but the prince was different.
Frederic Lister’s son was not a man who could pretend he didn’t see what he had seen.
“It’s annoying.”
he said low. He didn’t seem to be able to sleep comfortably.
