That's right.

Now Kairen was speaking of the death of his father, King Odin.

Unless King Odin died, the throne would not go to him.

-When King Odin dies, you, as first in line to the throne, will ascend to the throne immediately.

Despite Raymond's recent rise to prominence, he didn't even have a claim to the throne yet.

As soon as King Odin dies, Kairen would become king.

"Is it possible?"

-I don't think it will be difficult. By the way, he's requested an S-class healer from the Peninsula Kingdom, so it looks like he's in pretty bad shape.

The other person in the crystal ball smirked.

-In that case, I'll check King Odin's physical condition, and we'll come up with a way to fake his death.

The communication was cut off.

Kairen's face relaxed, and he walked up to the top of the cottage with a satisfied look on his face, and looked south to where Raymond was.

"Not long now."

It was an eerie voice, he imagined.

The thought of being king and trampling all over Raymond, and then killing him in despair.

What a pleasure.

***

Raymond made a smallpox vaccine in a hurry and got ready to leave for the Kingdom of Droton.

There was a reason for the rush.

'We need to catch it early. Otherwise, it could spread like wildfire.'

The problem was that the smallpox outbreak was near

Castle Josef, the capital of the Droton Kingdom.

Once the disease reached the capital, it would be unstoppable.

The entire kingdom of Droton could be covered in smallpox.

'That's not all. It will likely spread to the neighboring Kingdom of Houston. At the very least, the Rafalde, which is right next door, will not be spared.'

In other words, this was fire in the hole.

'No matter how powerful I am, there is no way to stop smallpox from claiming victims once it spreads.'

There is only one way to prevent smallpox victims: vaccination.

However, the vaccine project was only in the conceptual stage.

It was a long way from production, distribution, and inoculation.

'I have to stop it before it happens.'

A message popped into his head.
