Chapter 168

TL: Zimming

The operation was completely led by Leblaine.

Here is their plan:

First, the chairman will let go of a diamond the size of a fist while the grandson of the chamberlain was on his way to and from school.

The child quickly took it and handed it to his grandfather.

After that, Seria visits the chamberlain and says, “The diamond is given by me.”

The chamberlain, who had received the bribe in a groundbreaking way, said in amazement.

When masters of bribes gathered, it was so simple to reach an innovative way. Then, in return, the chamberlain would give a hint to the emperor.

Then it was decided that the chamberlain and him would go undercover.

The emperor, wearing a hood, frowned at the long line on the outskirts of the island.

“What is that line? Is there a street vendor open without permission?”

The chamberlain responded as Seria had said in advance.

“The line is leading to Saint Olga’s treatment centre.”

“Treatment centre?”

“Yes.”

At that time, Hans, who was looking around the treatment centre under Leblaine’s orders, heard the conversation and signalled.

‘The emperor has arrived. Everyone get ready!’

Upon receiving Hans’ signal, Seto stabbed an actor, who was a worker at the hope mercenary guild, at the end of the line.

Then, the actor recited the lines he had memorized since yesterday.

“Ce, Cecilia Olga is a wonderful person!”

“Of course! Ah, is there another emperor?”

“Ce, Cecilia Olga is the emperor of this street!”

The emperor’s face became grim.

However, if he acted recklessly to people who didn’t know anything like them, there would be no one left in this empire.

The emperor clicked his tongue and tried to turn away.

Seeing this, Seto hastily sent a signal to Hans.

‘Group two, go!’

As Hans waved his hands behind him, the scruffy little children rushed to the very end of the line.

“Is this the saint’s treatment center?”

“Y, yes!”

“Wow, wow!”

“Did you also come to receive treatment from the saint?”

“No. I came to see the saint, she’s a wonderful person.”

“I, I see.”

“She said she would look after us who were abandoned by the emperor!”

The little boys said excitedly.

“The saint is great!”

“Brother, I wish the saint would be the emperor.”

“She can’t. Because we already have a foolish emperor there.”

“But the saint is even better!”

The emperor’s face turned red in anger.

The chamberlain said,

“Do not be swayed by the words of foolish people.”

“I’m not a petty guy! I just… … Oh yeah. I was just angry at those who set up a treatment center without my permission.”

“That’s right. Saint Olga is neither a priest nor a doctor, so she should not treat the people as it is.”

“That’s right! How dare she make money by harassing my people?”

“Truly wise.”

The chamberlain praised the emperor as Seria had asked.

The emperor cut in the line with an angry face and turned to Cecilia.

Cecilia was sitting in an old chair, examining the old woman’s legs.

A faint light flickered from the part Cecilia’s hand touched, and soon the old woman’s face became more comfortable.

“Don’t do any work for a while.”

“Eh, it’s harvest time soon, but what if I can’t work in the fields?”

The old woman jumped and said, “No can do.” Cecilia shook her head, and said with a playful tone,

“If you get hurt again, I might have to amputate your legs next time, do you want that?”

“H,huh?”

Then, the emperor approached with a stiff face.

“Hey.”

‘He’s here.’

Cecilia, who noticed the emperor at once, hid the communication tool in her ear with her hair, and then raised her head.

[Tell him to stand in line for the treatment.]

“Please stand in line for treatment.”

Cecilia, who followed Leblaine’s instructions, looked at the emperor.

The emperor only frowned.

“Who gave you permission to build your own treatment centre here?”

[Say that you’re not a doctor. And you also have no building, not even a tent. There is no treatment centre like this in the world]

“I’m not a doctor. I also have no building, not even a tent. There is no treatment centre like this in the world.”

After all, there really isn’t even a tent. The law stated that a treatment centre without permission should not be established. But, we should have a building that provides treatment to be counted as not abiding by the law.

‘Aiming for a gap in the law… wicked!’

The emperor’s face turned red again.

“Are you eligible? Those who are not qualified cannot do the treatment!”

“That’s…”

[Whoa, whoa! Don’t tell me!]

Leblaine hurriedly interrupted Cecilia and sent a signal to Hans through the other communication tool.

Hans received the signal and touched the person in the front row (a worker at the hope mercenary guild).

“Why are you disturbing the saint’s treatment!”

Then, the workers at the hope mercenary guild, disguised as people receiving treatment, shouted together.

“Aren’t you trying to disturb her because you want to get the treatment first?”

“Don’t disturb us, get out of here!”

“Get out!”

When the workers who hid among the people receiving treatment said that, even ordinary patients rebuked the emperor.

The emperor was bewildered by the shouts of the people.

“Ah, no, these people… There are two hospitals licensed by the imperial family around here, and there’s even a temple! You will be treated by a qualified doctor and a priest there!”

A worker at the mercenary guild, disguised as a patient, shouted as Leblaine had instructed.

“We gathered here even though we know that! Do you know how much it costs to get treatment at a place licensed by the imperial family?”

“Yes! For people like us to even get a treatment, we have to sacrifice a lot of things!”

“Hospitals and temples are places only used by nobles!”

The emperor grew increasingly bewildered. He doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

“The medical expenses of private hospitals have been given by the imperial family. So that even ordinary people can receive medical treatment…!”

“Do you know that hospitals like that make money just for treatment? It’s obvious that they’re going to charge a lot for drugs, surgery, and special expenses! Stop talking nonsense!”

The emperor, unable to contain his anger, grabbed the man who shouted.

“Will I have to bring the emperor here to come to your senses?!”

[It’s the time!]

“Please stop it!”

Cecilia grabbed the emperor’s arm.

“I can’t let this go!”

Slap!

Cecilia slapped the Emperor’s cheek.

“W, what are you doing… … !”

“He didn’t have enough money to ride a horse, so he brought his sick wife to this place, which is more than 300 km away. He himself also has lung disease.”

The emperor then saw the man and kept his mouth shut.

“Also, the children who were sick live in a private orphanage, and they have no hospital fee.”

“…….”

“Do you think we don’t know that we shouldn’t break the laws of the country?”

“…….”

“This is the only thing I can do. Hospital expenses, which are a small amount for the royal family and nobles, are huge for them.”

As Cecilia spoke, she became sad and her eyes were wet. The emperor looked at the frightened and sick people without a word. They all look very good-natured, like those who would not break the law.

“…….”

The chamberlain quietly dragged the shocked emperor away.

“Let’s go, Your Majesty.”

“…….”

“Shall I call the emperor?”

“… No, no.”

The emperor staggered back. Only after he disappeared did Cecilia sigh. Screenplay by Leblaine. Directed by Leblaine. Part 1 is perfectly completed.

A few days later, the emperor overturned the medical center and temple.

Those who cleverly took the medical expenses given by the emperor, were caught and had to be punished.

“You did a good job.”

Seria said with a smile. I answered her.

“I didn’t mean to. You caught a rat while you were going back, didn’t you?”

“Isn’t that great?”

“It’s weird. It’s supposed to get worse, but strangely, it keeps becoming a good thing.”

As I sighed, Seria chuckled.

‘Oh, this is not the time.’

I quickly connected the communication device to Trigon.

“Did you do what I told you?”

[Yes, when the emperor fell asleep, I enchanted him to make him be reminded of Cecilia Olga.]

“Okay, perfect.”

[But would this really make the emperor fall in love?]

“Don’t worry about it.”

[……Then I didn’t suffer for nothing?]

“Trust me. Do you think someone will understand love when he does arranged marriages?”

[Unless…]

Since he will keep thinking about her he would think that he might like Cecilia.

I’ve definitely seen it in my past life.

The emperor is a beginner at romance.

And the next day, Cecilia came to see me.

“The lady was right! The Emperor is an idiot!”

“So? What did he say?”

“…You’re the first woman to slap me on the cheek.”

See?

I laughed out loud.

‘Well then. Shall we turn the Imperial Palace over?’

But then, the chairman hurriedly ran to me and shouted,

“Triloni… No, Tri…!”

“Why?!”

When Cecilia and I got up, the chairman answered with a pale face.

“Emeline and her are holding each other’s hair in the shopping district!”

What is this again!
