Chapter 80 – 080. The Reversed Relationship (2)
“… Let’s go.”
“What?”
“Let’s check it out. Hyuna.”
“Okay.”
After hearing Erin’s choice, Eunhyun smiled and nodded her head.
Even more embarrassing to her was Marva, who accepted her request.
“Really… ?”
“Huh…”
Erin replied reluctantly, avoiding Marva, who was looking at her suspiciously, and her gaze.
While the three of them decided on their destination, they boarded the carriage and headed for the mansion, while the heavy air and awkward silence flowed inside the carriage.
‘It’s awkward…’
The air in such a carriage made Marva uncomfortable, and it occurred to her that it was strange that she had to taste the most uncomfortable air, even though it was her own carriage.
Eun-hyeon, who rudely handed over her choice to Erin, her most uncomfortable opponent, and Marva, looking at Erin, who did not know what she was thinking, why she had granted her request. Breathing in this uncomfortable air, she wished in her heart to get home as soon as possible.
Viscount Berman, who visited the mansion and greeted Eunhyeon and Erin, looked at them suspiciously, just like Marva had seen Erin.
All she could do was stop her daughter from explaining that she had brought in a strange man from somewhere who seemed too young to be a doctor and had no experience in examining patients, and suddenly brought in someone to watch over her father.
“Marva, did you really bring a doctor who could heal her father? Too much to be a doctor…”
The Viscountess Berman, who glanced at Eun-hyeon with a suspicious look as if she might be a con artist, confirmed it again with a worried voice.
“That’s right. This is the one I was talking about before. It also matches the characteristics the doctor said at the time. A young man with silvery white hair and red eyes.”
“Anyway, that person is too… You are young.”
“It is, but…”
Traditionally, a doctor is a profession that deals with people’s lives by treating patients’ diseases and healing sick places.
There are dozens to hundreds of different types of diseases and wounds that can occur in the human body, from minor illnesses and wounds to those that cause serious conditions or lead to death.
Because of this, the fields that doctors have to deal with are also diverse, and it is also a job in which the competence of doctors is the most important. Suddenly, when a young man in his early 20s brought by his daughter said that he was a doctor to treat his husband, I couldn’t help but doubt it.
“Viscountess. Her wife’s suspicions are justified. However, I didn’t come here expecting something in return, and I came here at your daughter’s request, so can’t you just pretend to be deceived and leave it to me?”
Marva almost gave goosebumps at the appearance of Eun-hyun, who was different from her past, when Marva strangled herself in a formal tone with polite manners and let her breath pass, but she He was doing his best to hide it as much as possible in front of his mother.
“… I see.”
He was a very suspicious man, but since he was brought by Marva, her daughter, Viscount Berman reluctantly allowed her husband to see him.
“You deliver this letter to me.”
“A letter?”
“Hurry.”
“Ah, I get it!”
As soon as the patient, Viscount Berman, entered the bedroom, Eun-hyeon wrote a letter from her and handed it to Marva, demanding that it be delivered.
When Eunhyeon spoke in a firm tone, as if he would not allow her question, Marva had no choice but to nod her head and hurriedly left her mansion.
“Then, shall we take a look?”
“What are you going to do?”
“I need to see the condition. Come here.”
“Huh?”
Erin tilted her head at Eun-hyun’s gesture to come closer, but walked towards Eun-hyun with frequent steps.
“How does this patient look now?”
The blanket covering her was removed, and her bony body, as if only bones remained, was like a giant tree withered and drained of its vitality.
“Mmm, like a deflated balloon… Ahhh! Sorry! Well, that’s not to say that the Viscount’s current state is so ridiculous! So that…”
Noticing the Viscountess’ frown on her face, Erin struggled with her hand in amazement.
“No. It’s fine.”
“Since this is about the Viscount, she was going to explain it to the Viscountess as well. Viscount Berman’s current condition, as this child said, is that all of the mana in her body has disappeared. As a result, disease entered the weakened body.”
“You say the same thing as the doctor who examined him. Really… I think the doctor is right.”
“It’s a bit of a bitter misunderstanding, but I have medical knowledge.”
So, in response to an ambiguous answer as to whether the doctor was right or not, the viscountess sent a more strange look.
She clearly ignored those suspicious glances and unbuttoned Viscount Berman’s nightgown where Eun-hyeon was lying on the bed.
“Oh.”
Surprised, Erin turned her head and tried to avoid her gaze from Viscount Berman’s torso, but Eun-hyeon stinged her.
“Where are you looking? I’ll have to look here.”
“Ha, but seeing a noble’s naked body is… To honor.”
“We are here to treat this person. How are you going to treat the patient without looking at their physical condition?”
“I’m not even a doctor.”
“You came here because of your choice. Don’t talk and don’t look away.”
“Huh…”
She reluctantly nodded her head, but Erin caught sight of Viscount Berman.
The Viscountess, who was looking at Eunhyeon and Erin with complicated eyes, sighed reluctantly and nodded her head. Erin was then able to concentrate on Eunhyeon’s words.
“Illness is the same as fighting if you look at it from a different perspective. The human body instinctively protects itself and adapts to the environment around it. Let’s think of it in a different way,”
“Huh.”
“If there is a place surrounded by solid walls, there are places you wouldn’t normally dare to invade. However, for some reason, the solid wall that guarded the place was destroyed and collapsed. From the point of view of ‘disease’, now is the right time when the boundaries of the castle walls that protect the inside have disappeared.”
The human body does not naturally get sick easily.
However, if the current state of immunity was reduced due to the rapid decline of the weakened physical ability, it was also the most optimal condition for the disease to enter.
“Huh.”
Erin shook her head and continued to listen to Eunhyun’s explanation.
“In the end, if we assume that ‘disease’ will enter the inside, and now that the ‘wall’ of physical strength that has weakened along with magical power has collapsed, it will eat away at that place, which is the ‘human body’, and slowly lead to death. How can we save people who have been consumed by ‘disease’?”
At Eunhyeon’s question, Erin lowered her head and began to ponder.
If the castle wall has collapsed and the enemy has already infiltrated the inside, the first thing to do is to clear the enemy’s interior.
“First, get rid of the disease that has settled inside.”
“Are you removing it?”
“Shouldn’t we build the wall again so that the disease doesn’t happen again?”
“That is correct. Good job.”
“Lol.”
As Eunhyeon smiled and stroked Erin’s hair, Erin smiled and enjoyed Eunhyeon’s touch.
“As I said, the solution is very simple, but there is no way that other doctors couldn’t solve it because they couldn’t do it.”
“That’s right. So far, three doctors have visited, but all of them said that they could not solve the problem on their own, and gave up and left the mansion. That’s why I didn’t believe what you said.”
“Certainly, it is impossible in the present state.”
Using the technologies in Earth’s civilizations, it’s not impossible.
Eun-hyeon immediately used the power of ‘replication’ to summon a syringe containing the drug in her hand.
When an object in the form of something she had never seen before appeared in Eun-hyeon’s hand, the viscountess opened her eyes wide in surprise and asked.
“That… What is it? It’s like a long needle at the end… ?”
“From now on, the treatment I am going to do is my own treatment that has not been revealed to this world. Viscountess, can you keep the secret of what kind of treatment I used to treat Viscount Berman here?”
Conflict begins to appear on the Viscountess’s face.
The fact that it has not been disclosed to the world means that no one knows about it and that it has never been implemented.
The Viscountess, who was very reluctant to use a method against her husband that was not proven to the world, reluctantly nodded her head and agreed to her Eun-hyeon’s proposal. Without hesitation, he inserted the needle into Viscount Berman’s wrist.
“Ugh…”
Erin frowned at the sight of a long needle piercing her wrist.
She slowly pushes the piston with her thumb and slowly injects the drug from the syringe into Viscount Berman’s body.
When the injection of the drug was finished, he pulled out the syringe and placed a small wad of cotton that had been duplicated with his authority on his wrist, firmly fixing it with a string.
“I injected Viscount Berman’s body with a drug that catches the disease. It varies from person to person, but it will probably take 3 to 5 days. We will see you again soon to see the progress.”
“Go, thank you…”
The Viscountess didn’t care that Eunhyeon and Erin were from commoners, instead she bowed her head several times and thanked her for helping her husband recover.
The daughter of her baronial family, who had married into the Viscount Berman family, thought of her husband as the benefactor who had healed her, but seemed not to care at all about the difference in her status as a commoner.
“With this… This family may not be inclined either.”
“It is still too early to be relieved. I’ll write down the medicines you need for your body’s recovery, so get them, decoct them, and feed them to the Viscount.”
“All right.”
On the way out of the Viscount’s mansion, Eun-hyeon and Erin ran into Marva, who was returning home after sending her letter.
Just as she had told the Viscountess, when Viscount Berman was informed, Marva’s complexion brightened greatly and she let out a sigh of relief.
“Thank you. Thank you very much.”
“Thank you to Erin for choosing to heal your father.”
“Uh?”
As she casually turned her arrow of gratitude toward her Erin, the Erin she pointed out exchanged awkward glances with Marva with a puzzled look on her face.
Anxious Marva asked her Erin.
“To me… Is there anything you want?”
“No.”
“Then… Why?”
Erin answers Marva’s question why she made her choice to heal her father.
“That person deserves to be punished too.”
“…”
Marva didn’t answer and hardened her expression.
“If you do something wrong, you should be punished. Only… I didn’t think it was that kind of death.”
A few days ago, while Eun-hyeon was on trial, he also spoke in front of many aristocrats.
If you do something wrong, you should be punished.
It was also true of her own brother, who had learned her black magic.
However, Eun-hyeon pointed out that the punishment Erwin received was too heavy and aggravated compared to the crime he had committed.
Even though Eunhyeon was the person who made up the story of Erwin and created the situation, Erin did not resent Eunhyeon for that fact.
No, she didn’t resent it, but she thought it was a lot of people, and she knew she had to do it to prevent chaos from coming to the country.
That’s why Eun-hyeon gave her Erin her lifelong long-cherished wish.
She had a long-cherished wish: ‘You yourself must rid yourself of the stigma of Elvin that she created.’
The same goes for Viscount Berman.
“The Viscountess doesn’t seem to know about your father or what you’ve been doing.”
“Ugh…”
She didn’t know anything about the fact that Viscount Berman had helped Renion Hersha embezzle the money, or about Marva’s assault on Erin in Aither.
When Marva pointed out that, her body trembled.
“I have not forgiven your father or what you have done. Only…”
Erin paused her words for a moment and looked back at the mansion of Viscount Berman.
“Because human life is precious.”
The punishment Erin wanted was not to pay for her sins with her death.
“I hope you live and receive the punishment you deserve. That’s why I saved him.”
It was her favorite punishment she came up with, Erin thought.
