Chapter 205
The halls became heavy at the sight of the twins.
But there was one thing Raymond and others couldn’t fathom.
Now, the twins weren’t just keeping their mouths shut because they were so emotional. They were having a conversation with their minds through the magic of the message.
[…… He wasn’t lying to us at the time. Is he really an idiot? I can’t believe there really is such a person in the world.]
[I can’t believe it too, sister.]
In fact, what happened today was staged by the twins.
Rune pretended to faint on purpose to summon Raymond, and placed the Enchanter book in his sight.
[I couldn’t believe there were so many good people in the world.]
Raymond must have coveted their talents, but he truly cared for them.
[…… He wasn’t just the scum in the world. He’s real.]
[…… Should we use our powers for him, sister?]
[I think so, Ren.]
They both nodded determinedly.
“I see. From now on, we’re going to live the life we want.”
“Yes, we thought it through.”
“We will accompany you, Marquis.”
“So…… Huh?”
Raymond’s eyes widened.
The twins said with a sullen face.
“The life we want, and that’s using our powers for you.”
“……!”
Raymond was taken aback.
Then the door was opened.
“Do as they say, Marquis.”
It was Durak!
“But?”
“Can you come over here for a moment?”
Durak led Raymond into a quiet room.
“Please, Marquis, take care of those children.”
“Why?”
“It’s a request for the children.”
Durak pulled out a cigarette.
“As you can see, my children don’t trust people very much because of the wounds they received from their past days as hostages. They look at everyone with disbelief.”
“…….”
“I tried my best, but it didn’t heal the mistrust that was once deeply rooted. Therefore, the children need the love of the Marquis.”
“…Love?”
‘My love?’
Raymond asked, his face stunned.
Durak nodded seriously.
“Yes, watching the Marquis’s unconditional generosity and love from the sidelines will change my children’s minds a little. So please take the kids.”
“…….”
Raymond was silent.
‘I think you misunderstand me somehow.’
Now that they’ve talked about it, it’s hard to say no anymore.
No, in fact, it was too coveted.
Didn’t he want to take them even if he shouldn’t?
‘A Genius Enchanter and A Genius Demon Swordsman in my hands!’
Holding back the almost cheers, Raymond came to his senses.
‘You have to make the best impression possible.’
They are twins full of mistrust of humans.
‘If I let my guard down, I didn’t know when they would realize my true nature.’
“If you want to follow me, there are two conditions.” He told the twins.
“What is it?”
“I want you to do your best for others and for the patients. Please repay me by saving others.”
‘If I talk like this, they’ll work harder.’
The twins’ eyes fluttered.
I could feel his wonderful words.
“What’s the second condition?”
“Be happy. If you don’t want to be around me, you can always leave. Live the life you want, whenever you want.”
This was a sincere request.
The twins were silent for a long time,
“……Thank you.”
They replied in a slightly watery voice.
Raymond scratched his head in disbelief.
“Then I’ll give you two your first mission right now.”
“What is it?”
“Just speak.”
Rune and Ren replied with excitement.
“Join the dinner party.”
“What?”
“We’re going to a beef dinner now. Hanson, it’s a little late, but we can still go, right?”
Hanson replied.
“Yes, Master. I think it’s going to be fine. I’ll send someone in advance to prepare a meal for the two of you.”
Raymond grinned at the bewildered twins.
“I have to ask, do you like beef?”
“Yes, yes, I like it.”
“I love it.”
Hanson also spoke to the twins.
“Welcome to the Penin Treatment Center. Beef is perfect and can help with academic achievement, so I encourage you to eat a lot of it.”
Rune and Ren looked surprised.
Beef raises academic achievements.
They had a lot of knowledge, but they had never heard of such a benefit in beef.
‘Really?’
‘Sir Hanson is a pupil of the Penin Treatment Center. So he is not lying, is he?’
The two wondered if they needed to eat a lot of beef in order to quickly break through the magic realm.
Meanwhile, Christine and Lindon looked at the twins with sad eyes.
‘Those twins don’t know how much beef they’re going to eat.’
In any case, Raymond exclaimed with joy.
“Welcome the twins. Let’s go eat beef!”
That’s how Rune and Ren joined the Penin Treatment Center.

Later, Raymond returned to Rafald on a Shuttleffin.
There was a tremendous amount of work to be done.
Not only did he treat the patients who were waiting for him, but he also had to do the work he had to do for the people as a prince.
In addition, the preparation of vaccine production facilities, the groundwork for the construction of the canals, and so on.
‘Uhhhhh How do you do all this? I’m going to die of overwork before I can enjoy the riches.’
Moreover, he had a great task ahead of him.
It was an academic achievement!
‘I have to complete my academic work within a month, or it’ll all be for nothing.’
Raymond pondered and thought.
‘I can’t do it on my own. Let’s leave the work to others.’
‘Pamper me at times like this…… No, didn’t I recruit talents to entrust them with a middle job?’
The first was Mavinson.
“Sir Mavinson, you know I have infinite confidence in you, right?”
“Lord, Lord!”
Mevinson had tears in his eyes.
Because of his past hurts, he was weak on praise.
“I totally believe in what you are doing.”
It wasn’t an empty statement.
To be honest, Raymond doesn’t know much about administration.
This is what Mevinson was an expert on.
“I will delegate full authority of internal affairs to you.”
“Ugh, lord!”
Mavinson wept tears of emotion.
“Leave it to me, Lord!”
Mevinson was on fire and hard at work.
“My lord! We have devised new institutions and policies for the people!”
“My lord! There are many talented people who want to work for your lord! We have elected a new official!”
“Lo ……!”
Mavinson even summoned his former sage companions and disciples. As a result, Raymond had an enormously capable conservancy.
Mavinson was in charge of internal affairs, but the problem was the construction of the canal.
He thought, ‘Well, this is going to be a lot of work.’
Tondig the ground!
It wasn’t a matter of doing it.
From investigating whether construction is feasible, to recruiting the necessary personnel, to the actual progress of construction.
It took a lot of hard work.
‘…… Oh, this isn’t a normal thing to do. I don’t want to go through this.’
By the way, Raymond doesn’t like to sweat, so he’s a chivalric guy.
‘I don’t have time. Who am I going to leave it to?’
But he couldn’t get Mevinson to do it.
Thinking about it, Raymond found the right person.
It was Lao.
“Lao, you know I care about you, don’t you?”
“Brother?”
“Out of love for you, I want to give you a chance to make a big contribution…”
Raymond explained the canal construction with a big smile on his face.
Lao’s eyes widened.
Lao, the genius of the academy, immediately understood the significance of the construction that Raymond had mentioned.
‘It’s a history-changing project! To give me a chance to do this?’
He had the opportunity to build the best career of his career as an administrator!
No, it wasn’t just a career level.
Lao’s name, who was in charge of the project, will be recorded in the history of the Kingdom of Houston.
Raymond cleared his throat.
“I’m giving you a chance because I’m thinking of you specially.”
Lao tilted his head.
Lao was grateful for that, but for some reason, Raymond’s demeanor felt like he was trying to take over the trouble.
‘Lao! He is doing this much for you, but you are having doubts again! How can you be so pathetic?!’
Lao blamed himself and worked hard.
First of all, he mobilized his connections from the academy and invited a large number of related geologists.
They also asked for help from their co-investor, the Kingdom of Droughton and collaborated with them.
The scholars examined the terrain and exclaimed.
“It is a miracle!”
“Good. These are the most suitable conditions for drilling waterways! It’s going to have a miraculous economic effect!”
“It’s clear that the two countries will benefit greatly!”
“Thanks to you, the Marquis, the history of our two countries will change!”
As expected, the feasibility study was successful, and preparations for full-scale construction were subsequently carried out.
“We need to get the vaccine work done.”
He couldn’t leave this matter to others.
Raymond himself was to take on the final responsibility.
However, Raymond drew the overall picture, supervised, and Hanson was left with the actual work.
‘Well, I’d like Rune and Ren to help me. What should I do?’
Magical equipment was essential to the creation of a vaccine production facility.
This is because it is necessary to create a sterile space.
But he was reluctant to exploit the kids who had just joined.
‘I can enlist the help of the Demon Tower, but it will cost me a lot of money.’
‘We need to cut costs!’
Raymond has a strategy to sell the vaccine.
The strategy was to sell to as many people as possible at the lowest possible price.
To do this, cost reduction was essential.
After much deliberation, Raymond coaxed the twins with eloquence.
“Rune, Ren, you are blessed children.”
“What?”
“You can help so many people with your power.”
The twins looked bewildered.
Raymond explained the vaccine business and the twins’ eyes widened.
“Freeing the people of the entire continent from the Grim Reaper?”
They were speechless at Raymond’s enormous scale.
‘The Marquis was not just a fool for others.’
‘Strange…… No, he is a revolutionary.’
They swallowed.
That’s when Raymond delivered the final blow.
“You can do it with your own hands.”
“With our own hands?”
“Yes, the production of vaccines requires magical powers.”
Raymond wonders if the twins will find out his true intentions (?) So he postponed it.
“Of course, if you don’t want to, you don’t have to. I can ask the Wizard Tower for help. I’m just telling you that if you take on this job, it will be meaningful for you as well.”
‘Please, take care of me! If I leave it to them, they’ll rip me off a lot of money!’
The twins were overwhelmed with emotion, unable to fathom Raymond’s true intentions.
‘…… Saving multitudes with our own hands.’
“You have entrusted us with such a worthwhile task.”
