[You’ve done a great job for the slums!]

[Achievement: “Eradication of the underworld organization” was achieved!]

[Achievement: ‘Breaking Corruption’!]

[Your reputation goes up!]

[Your  influence on the slums increases!]

[Bonus: Reputation rises significantly!]

Meanwhile, Raymond looked bewildered as he saw the butterfly effect of what he had done.

Somehow, he became a hero who freed the slums from the bad guys.

He even caught a corrupt aristocrat in the dark!

‘……I can’t believe it’s in the secret account.’

Raymond shook his head.

‘……I just stepped up because I didn’t want to screw up. Well…’

People’s eyes were overwhelming.

Now the people of the slum looked at him with full respect and admiration.

So is Hanson.

“I bought meat to boost my immunity with the treatment I received yesterday. To get the most immune-boosting effect possible, we can turn it upside down. I’ll bake it without spilling its juices.”

“……just take it easy.”

“No, you’ve emphasized it several times. We will try to make the steak as effective as possible to increase immunity.”

Hanson, this is getting weirder.

Raymond explained several times that he didn’t do it with that intention, but it was useless.

“Even if you say that, I know your sincerity.”’

‘…I don’t know. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with my reputation.’

Raymond thought while eating the meat Hanson had been grilling.

Fame was a necessity.

‘The more popular you get, the more patients you get.’

In conclusion, it was a good thing. In particular, it was meaningful to beat up the corrupt aristocracy.

Because Raymond’s name has been known to people outside the slums.

They’ll see him with a slightly different eye in the disgusting ‘dirty illegitimate child’.

“That’s not all.”

Raymond’s heart fluttered when he remembered the letter he had received recently.

‘I got a reward for this.’

It was not a small contribution because it eradicated the notorious underworld guild and revealed the corrupt nobles involved.

“What kind of award should I say I want?”

‘As expected, money?’

It was a question of no concern.

Money!

This time it was definitely money.

‘It’s nice to think about it, hhh.’

Raymond drooled.

How happy would I be to receive a reward? I couldn’t control my excitement.

‘I have to go to the royal castle tomorrow, so let’s hurry up and sleep. Tomorrow is the happiest day in the world!’ 

Raymond went to bed with a puffy dream.

***

A carriage was sent from the castle.

“I’ll take you to the King. Please go up.”

“Thank you.”

Raymond climbed into the carriage with his shoulders swaggering.

‘I can’t believe I’m being treated like this by the king’s servant. I was always treated as dirty filth.’ 

It wasn’t just the princes who bothered him when he lived in the castle.

Even the servants, maids, and guards despised him as well.

They did not inflict physical abuse, but they did blatantly neglect Raymond while enabling unnoticeable bullying.

‘They always forget. They’ll make me skip eating food, give me dirty clothes on purpose, or let me sleep in a room without air conditioning. These things were common.’

‘They did all of those things for me, but I can’t believe that they would then treat me like this because I was worse than dirty filth.’

‘I couldn’t bear the overwhelming feeling.’

‘I’m Raymond! I eliminated the Dark Blade Guild! I also revealed the corruption of the aristocracy! I am the heroic healer in the Bay Area!’ I cried out in a huff.

‘Whatever I shout inwardly doesn’t matter for it is free.’

Just in time, Raymond heard multiple cries.

“Goodbye, Prince!”

“Long live, our prince!”

“Handsome!”

It was roaring with cheers.

People shouted fervently as if they were greeted by a victorious general.

‘I’ll be back. I’ll get a lot of money as your support. Haha.’ 

It was then, Raymond’s eyes were frowned upon.

She was a skinny girl.

Only her belly was sticking out like a tadpole in his eyes, and Raymond had a diagnostic name in his head.

‘……Malnutrition.’

There was no diagnosis whatsoever.

That’s what happens because of hunger.

Naturally, there were quite a few such cases of children in the slums.

The child waved her bony hand as if she had come out to see Raymond off.

‘I couldn’t hear what she was saying because it was far away, but the shape of her mouth seemed to be cheering for Raymond. With her. Chapped lips. 

“…….”

Raymond’s excited heart sank.

‘What do you care about? This is a slum. That’s a given.’

The Bay Area was still shabby and poor, even if there had been a lot of happy things that happened recently.

It will be the same over time. The poor here will continue to live poor and hard lives.

‘It’s none of my business as a healer.’

Their poverty is something that high-ranking people, such as kings and ministers, should care about and solve.

He could say that just working as a healer was enough for the slums.

‘So let’s put it out of my mind and think about how much compensation we’ll get.’ 

But why?

Raymond kept thinking about the girl he saw earlier.

Then, a message came to his mind.

[Bonus quest has occurred!]

“Bonus quest?”

[Get a Good Prize!]

(Personnel Quest)

Raymond furrowed his brows when he saw the quest.

‘I am just going to get compensated. Do not give me a strange quest!’

***

“We’ve arrived. Get off.”

It was the moment to get out of the carriage.

The eyes of the people traveling to and from the castle were focused.

‘It’s Raymond.’

‘The illegitimate child?’

Raymond was always in the public eye.

He was the one who made the king’s blood dirty.

Everywhere he went, people’s eyes were filled with contempt.

The same was true this time.

“Tsk. Tsk. Why is that dirty guy coming to the castle again?”

“He smells and is disgusting.”

The servants and maids walking around frowned and grabbed their noses.

It was a hateful expression that meant disgusting.

“But this time, he came to receive an award for his contribution, right?”

“Hemust have been lucky. What kind of contribution will that lowly guy give?  I heard he went into a slum because he didn’t apply to any treatment center.”

“The ghetto area? That suits him very well.”

Raymond’s heart sank heavily when he heard the derogatory remark.

Being in the slum, he had forgotten how people in the capital treats him.

Still in people’s heads he’s a dirty filth, nothing more.

‘Damn it. Was I born because I wanted to be born as an illegitimate child? If you’re going to want to curse someone out then swear at the king himself!’ Raymond spat out a swear word in his. Mind

Honestly, what is he guilty of? The fault was made by King Oden, who sowed dirty seeds.

Nevertheless, people could not say a word to the king, but they would only swore at Raymond.

Raymond glared at them.

‘I’ll remember all your faces. I’ll get even with you if I become the best healer later. For the guys who talked badly to me today, there will be no cure for them until they get down on their knees and beg. The cost of treatment will be 100 times higher than that of in-laws and eight villages. It’s no use regretting it then.’

But it was that moment. There was an unexpected voice that overpowered theirs.

“What are you doing here?”

“……!”

The ladies and gentlemen, who were chattering, bowed in surprise.

“Your Royal Highness!”

A beautiful girl with a doll-like appearance- it was Princess Sophia!

“I asked what are you doing here now?”

She looked at them with cold eyes. For some reason, Raymond tilted his head because her eyes were colder than usual.

‘What? Why is she pulling such a face at them?’

She wasn’t originally a friendly look, but now she has that cold and intimidating stare..

She was more than scary to approach to.

“I….”

“I don’t know if you did all your work well. Now that you’re slacking off here, I’m sure you’ve done everything perfectly? Is it okay to check it out now?”

The ladies and gentlemen were restless.

That beautiful princess wasn’t very generous. 

If the book was caught, they had to be prepared to pay tribute.

‘But she’s not the one who nitpicks for no reason, what’s wrong with her all of a sudden? Is she in a bad mood today?’ 

People bowed their heads hoping that Sophia would feel better. 

“Sorry, I’m sorry.”

“Make sure this does not happen in the future…….”

Sophia crossed her arms over her chest while looking down at them.

“If you understand, disappear out of my sight and go to your places right away. If this kind of negligence is found again in the future, it will not be passed on only as a warning.”

“We’ll keep that in mind!”

They hurried away as if their tails were on fire.

This left only Raymond and Princess Sophia around.

“Greetings, princess. But why here?”

‘Did you come to see me?’

But Sophia spoke coldly as if not to be mistaken.

“I was just passing by accident.”

“……Oh, yes.”

“Really. I’m not here to see you, so don’t get me wrong.”

Raymond tilted his head.

‘Why are you emphasizing it like that?’

Sophia seemed to think that he had something inappropriate to say,  so she had gotten annoyed.

“That’s enough, go your way! I’ll look at my work.”

“Yes, I will. Keep up the good work.”

Raymond bowed his head and crept aside to avoid her.

Seeing that she’s in. A mood full of irritation, Raymond thought that he’d better avoid her quickly.

Then Sophia asked with a snap.

“Wait. I have had a question since I met you ‘by chance’.”

“Speak, please.”

“What award are you going to ask for today?”

“It’s….”

“You’d better think carefully before answering and talking.”

Raymond kept his mouth shut.

Sophia still spoke in a cold tone as if passing by.”Depending on what choice you make, today’s reward may be a golden opportunity for you.”

***

Raymond then headed straight to the site.

‘Your Highness?’

Raymond looked surprised.

He didn’t know that the king would appear in front of him in person again.

Not to mention the fact that there were several high-ranking figures besides the king.

First of all, the Chancellor, Duke Galman.

There were also the second, Kairn and third prince, Remerton.

‘Why are they here?’

Raymond gave them a puzzled look.

‘I thought it was just a simple prize, but there were sky-like figures who held such high status and honor.’
