Volume 1 Chapter 13 Court Chief Doctor
The next morning, I arrived at the place where Divine Beast King was.
In the back of the beautiful white room, there was a throne, and sitting there was the beautiful woman with white hair I helped yesterday.
The servant Mintha cleared her throat and introduced me.
"This is Divine Beast King [Sofia]."
"I-I'm very sorry... I didn't know you were the king yesterday..."
When I said this, King Sofia smiled and spoke.
"Don't worry about it, Zeke. Thank you for saving my life the other day."
Being thanked by such an amazing beauty made me blush.
"Please work as the [Court Chief Doctor] in our country."
"Thank you, I accept... Wait, Court Chief Doctor!?"
Isn't that a top position that leads all the doctors!?
"As expected of Sir Zeke! You have been recognized by Divine Beast King!"
"N-no, I haven't done anything yet, and besides, can a young guy like me even take such a job...?"
Then, at that moment.
"That is correct, Divine Beast King!"
Coming into the meeting room was a fox beastman.
"[Zorath]! We are having an audience!"
"Shut up, you commoner-turned-Knight of the Royal Guard"
Zorath ignored Mintha's angry gaze and came towards us.
"Who are you?"
"Hmph! I'm Zorath. I'm the chief doctor of the royal court."
He looks at me and says 'Hmph!' and snorted mockingly.
"I can't imagine that such an inferior creature (a monkey) could ever be fit to serve as the honorable Chief Doctor of the Royal Court."
"You! That's disrespectful to Sir Zeke!"
King Sofia raises her hand to stop Mintha from getting angry.
"Zorath. Reports of this person's abilities have already been received. Please support him as his adjutant."
"This guy may be a spy from another country. You could be caught dead in the act."
...And then I realized.
"Hey Mr. Zorath. You're the leader of the raiders that came last night, right?"
Twitch!
Zorath stiffens his body.
"What? Wh-What on earth have you got to say something like that?"
"I mean, but look at your right hand. You have a hurt there. That is the cut I gave you yesterday, right?"
Even though the cut is covered with a scab, it was the same place where I threw the knife.
"N-no! This is... right, when I was cleaning this morning!"
"Oh, I see. Then let me take a little of your blood."
"Blood!?"
I take out the knife I threw yesterday from my bag.
"This is the knife I threw at you. It has a little blood on it. If we check the blood, we can see if you are the same as the real bad guy."
"C-can we really do that!? T-this is amazing...!"
Mintha whispers, sounding impressed.
"Y-you rude person! K-king! This man should be put to death right away!"
But King Sofia quietly shakes her head.
"Zorath, let him take your blood."
"K-king!?"
"If you say you are innocent, then it should not be a problem, right?"
"G-gghhh...!"
Zorath sweats a lot on his face and looks around nervously.
"D-damn it!"
He suddenly tries to punch King Sofia.
"[Paralyze]"
"Ugh...!"
Zorath falls with a thud.
Mintha draws her sword and holds it to his neck.
"You are under arrest for treason!"
"Dammit...Dammit...!"
King Sofia came to me and bowed deeply.
"Thank you for helping me twice. You're a great guy, Zeke. Please help me gather the royal doctors."
