Chapter 988 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (46)
When only half of them fell to the floor bleeding.
The Paladin was the first to surrender.
He laid down his weapon and, with his hands raised above his head, prostrated himself on the ground, hastily shouting surrender.
How quickly the arrogant guys give up their pride.
The Geos Knights surrendered belatedly, gritting their teeth as if they had been betrayed, and we were able to safely take the rest of the Paladins and Knights as prisoners.
“A great victory! A great victory!”
“As expected, the results are extraordinary because His Majesty is there. Haha!”
Perfect victory.
The nobles were intoxicated with the victory they hadn’t tasted in a long time.
Today, I also freed all the nobles and soldiers.
It’s because it wasn’t one or two hardships.
Earthquake was something I did on my own, but dropping stones and capturing fallen soldiers was something the soldiers themselves did.
They were not caught innocently, but they must have accumulated a lot of fatigue because they were caught after making all sorts of fuss.
“All that remains is to push into the capital.”
After recovering from his injuries, the prince was looking forward to the next campaign as soon as the operation was successful, as if his body was itching from the work he had been confined to.
“Isn’t it difficult?”
“I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t hard, but I can endure this much.
A wonderful boy!
He vigorously stroked the prince’s head and told him about the upcoming war.
I think there are only good things left to come, but…
Unfortunately, things won’t go the way the Crown Prince hoped.
There wasn’t much left until the day he and the prince were separated.
“Have you ever thought about what you will do after winning the war?”
“Umm… First of all, the relationship between the Geos Empire and the temple should be reestablished.”
“The temple won’t say they’re defeated just because the Geos Empire was defeated.”
In the first place, the temple participated in the war in a relationship of ‘help’.
“They’ll try to put a stop to it as soon as possible. And you can call them unscrupulous bastards who shamelessly imprisoned paladins and priests.”
“Are you really going to be so shameless?”
“Even so, they are enough. We must prepare for their actions.”
The war effort will proceed without me.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to give advice to the crown prince and taught him.
The prince did not particularly question why I was teaching these things in detail.
Just study the teachings diligently as usual.
But I wanted to teach him something more, so I taught him again and again, carrying him on my side.
“Your majesty.”
“How is your body?”
“It’s gotten better.”
In addition, good news came.
Escort knight.
So, the news is that she, who kicked off her concubine position and jumped into her battlefield, has finally recovered her body.
In the meantime, I heard that he was working very hard on rehabilitation exercises, but when he checked himself, he seemed to have recovered to the point where he wondered when he was injured.
“Even though it looks like this on the outside, there are still many places to recover on the inside.”
However, the therapist told her about her condition so that she could not misunderstand that she was really healed.
“Rehabilitation takes too long. How long are you going to rest?”
She grumbled, unable to hide her dissatisfaction with the therapist’s words.
“It’s not like you can change your body, so don’t be in too much of a hurry and pay attention to rehabilitation. Even if you feel fine, it will be difficult to move like you used to.”
Originally, it is said that once injured, it is impossible to go back to before the injury, no matter how much exercise you do to recover.
Once injured, it continues to leave traces and suffers for the rest of its life.
“Thank you for your concern, but I’m well enough. I want to escort the crown prince again.”
“Are you going to war already?”
“Other soldiers go to war even when they are injured. I don’t think there is any reason why I should be treated specially.”
It is certainly true that she is receiving special care now.
“If the soldier had made a big contribution to saving the crown prince, Jim would have done his best to help and take care of his recovery, just like you. Would that be enough? He would also take care of it so that he could live without worrying about eating and living in the future.”
“…Your majesty.”
“It’s not that you’re being considered because you were my concubine, or because she’s a noble. She’s being recognized for your contribution to protecting the crown prince, and she’s getting that much reward.”
“…”
In fact, I gave the order to generously reward the families of the soldiers who died protecting the crown prince.
At least their families will be able to die without suffering and living on plenty.
Was it because he was caught thinking what he was thinking and also what he misunderstood?
She bowed her head.
I couldn’t see her face because of her head down, but I could guess what she was feeling from the redness of her ears.
“It’s difficult if you’re too self-conscious.”
“Cow, I’m sorry.”
“So, think about getting your body together. The prince will be guarded by Jim. If you’re feeling uncomfortable, I’d like you to help the therapists.”
“Therapists?”
“You know, but the soldiers don’t have that deep trust in the healer.”
Moreover, after the priests started treating her under duress, she hated entrusting herself to the healers even more.
“As you know, receiving treatment from a priest does not mean that the body will fully recover. We need rehabilitation training from therapists, but the soldiers don’t trust them.”
“I heard that it is difficult to get cooperation, so I know.”
“Yes, aren’t we running the army in a way that we use and throw away soldiers like the Geos Empire? Soldiers are also our people. If you tell them the importance of rehabilitation yourself, the healers will work a little easier. I think you can.”
It was absolutely necessary for the health of the soldiers and for my policy of using therapists in the future.
“Can you please?”
Since she intends to use therapists in the future, it seems that her thoughts are gradually changing as she appeals that this work is very important to me.
“…I definitely got to know my body in detail while doing rehabilitation exercises. It was helpful enough for the technicians. I didn’t expect therapists to know so well about my body in such a delicate way. Their rehabilitation exercises will be seen as futile.”
It means that he would think that it would be better to wield the sword more than to do rehabilitation exercises.
“But I learned that it works by experiencing it yourself. I think it’s enough just to share that experience with the knights around you.”
When a person is in need, it was a law that did not cover the means and methods.
As long as she remembers her words in her head, one day these words will come to her mind and help her make a decision when the need arises.
She felt the need to clearly tell the prince about the need for healers.
“Taeja.”
“Yes, Obama.”
“Jim thinks therapists should be raised. What do you think?”
It was necessary to find out the thoughts of the crown prince, who must have had a bad prejudice against the therapists.
But unexpectedly, contrary to my expectations, the crown prince seemed to be positively looking at raising therapists.
“We know that healers are the only ones who can counter the temple. And we also know that healers are not as incompetent as we thought.”
“Really? That’s surprising. I thought you were looking at the therapists disapprovingly.”
“At first, it was. But as I talked with the therapists, I realized that I had a prejudice. The therapists were not as incompetent as I thought, and they had their own advanced knowledge. Because they meant it that way.”
“You know better than I thought.”
I didn’t know the prince would have such thoughts.
I couldn’t help but smile at the thought that I had lost my children’s farming.
“I wondered why Obama said he would use therapists moderately. But then I realized that I was just curious and didn’t look closely at who the therapists were.”
“Healers are the ones who suffered a lot because of the temple. The temple used healers to boost their skills and exploited their achievements. People view healers negatively because the temple intended it that way.”
If you think about the mighty power of the temple, you will be able to guess that the years of being persecuted by the healers are not one or two years.
“Do you know why monopolies are dangerous, Prince?”
“Yes, monopoly becomes power, and losing a competitor leads to indolence rather than growth.”
The dangers of monopoly taught in the past.
The smart prince had a clear memory.
“The same goes for the temples. They have long been monopolized in the field of treatment. They do not treat unless they donate expensive money, and they suppress the growth of healers who do similar work by persecuting them. On the other hand, their healing ability is at a certain level Stop and walk in place.”
“It’s just as corrupt as Obama said.”
“In order to prevent the corruption of temples, it is necessary to grow healers. If healers grow up and have a similar level of treatment as temples, people will find healers rather than donate money to expensive temples.”
Since the number of people who donate has decreased, the temple can’t stand still.
“I’m going to lower the treatment donation. If the amount is lower, I’ll probably go to the temple rather than the healer who takes a long time to recover.”
“Yes. If the temple hadn’t persecuted the healers, it should have happened a long time ago. Why don’t you take charge of raising the healers?”
“Am I the therapist?”
“Because I think you can do well.”
If you leave them alone like this, even if I’m not there, they’ll take care of them and raise them.
It’s my father’s last will, so I can’t afford to neglect it?
‘Well… If you don’t care about what I left behind, that’s the fate of this world.’
I think that I have done more than what I received.
So there is no need to think further than that.
“Thank you! Obama. I’ll take care of it!”
On top of that, he raised his heir so well, so why worry for nothing?
After the war is over, these are all tasks that the crown prince will have to do anyway, so it was good to leave them in advance and let them gain experience.
