Understanding, Duke Leif made a serious face, and Raymond sang a happy tune in his heart.

'Great! Duke Leif will be good to me in the future!'

From now on, Duke Leif will take great care of Raymond, hoping that he will become his pupil.

He'd succeeded in catching a fool!

'Though I'll never be a knight.'

Raymond smirked in satisfaction, and his meeting with Duke Leif was a success.

Everything was going well, until one thing changed.

There were fewer patients.

To be more precise, fewer patients were coming to Penin.

"The battlefield has shifted."

Rao said.

He had just finished a stint in the General Staff and was building a solid track record.

Does he have a promotion in store when he returns to the administration?

"Until now, the battlefield was limited to Rafalde Province, the area north of Droton, but now it has expanded to the entire Central Region, and this is just a command center."

With battlefields scattered throughout the center of the country, the distance meant that patients couldn't come in.

'Well, that's a problem, because we can't help them.'

Raymond stroked his chin.

'I can't build merit.'

Hadn't he made enough merit by now?

He was welcome. He was still thirsty.

Both letters were from unexpected people.

The first was from Princess Sophia.

'She's sending me another one of those?'

It seemed so.

[I heard about what you did, and it was pretty good, but you never know when your luck will run out, so be careful in the future.]

Raymond made a wry face.

Now that he had heard it many times, he could recognize the way Princess Sophia speaks.

This is worrying.

'... she's worried, right?'

Actually, he was not sure.

'By the way, she has a way with words. If she were my sister, I'd fix her burlap head.'

The second letter was also a surprise.

Lady Rose!

She was the representative of Healer Loans.

It was in response to Raymond's loan request.

'I wasn't going to touch Healer Loans, but I can't afford this one.'

Raymond sighed.

The hundreds of thousands of pena he paid to high-level healers?
