Healer From Other Dimension
Rumors of the Dorton Empire

Lorcan's words just now invited a big question mark in Andressa's mind. It was only fitting that he felt an awkwardness the moment he accepted the invitation. I think something's wrong here.

“Really? What do they mean to send directly to me? I'm being suspicious.” This becomes a burden of mind for Andressa. “Then in previous years you intervened to choose a healer who attended this meeting?” andressa asked.

Lorcan nodded slowly.

“Yes, I myself chose Emilian's representative physician envoy,” Lorcan replied.

“Is this indeed specially organized by the Dorton empire? I mean, this healer's meeting is held there every year?”

“Actually this healer meeting has only been going on for the past seven years since the emperor Dorton is now in office.”

Andressa nodded in understanding, she again observed her invitation letter.

“Why is the envelope black? Like a death threat letter only,” murmured Andressa.

“I also question the same because all this time the invitation envelope is always white. I was worried you were going there. Should I accompany you?”

Feelings of anxiety were directed at Andressa. The girl appreciated Lorcan's concern for her. However, he felt that he could overcome this problem even without Lorcan's help.

Then Andressa replied, “It's okay, I can go by myself. You sent enough prayers for me. I don't want you to leave your job to accompany me there.”

It was expected that Lorcan that Andressa would definitely refuse his offer. He couldn't force Andressa to take him away together.

“Alright then. Now that I say goodbye, it is time for me to return to the palace. I'll let you know again in a letter. Don't forget to reply to my letter.”

Lorcan said goodbye to Andressa. They ended the meeting to settle their respective affairs. After seeing Lorcan's horse carriage move away from the clinic, Andressa decided to go to the study and bring an invitation letter from the Norton empire. He wanted to investigate further about the empire.

“Amelia, have you heard any bad rumors about the empire of Dorton and the current emperor?” Andressa tried to extract information from Amelia and her other subordinates.

“Dorton Empire? I've heard bad rumors about the current emperor. Rumor has it that the emperor Dorton has now always enslaved his subjects. The social gap there was noticeably steeper than that of Emilian and other empires or empires. Then there is one more rumor circulating,” explained Amelia.

“What rumor is it?”

Amelia seemed hesitant to say to Andressa. He turned his head left right to make sure there was no one other than the two of them.

“Say many healers who did not return after visiting the meeting. And not infrequently also healers who returned in a daze even to crazy. Surprisingly, the disappeared healers always came from small kingdoms and empires. Fortunately, Emilian's representatives never experienced it.”

Andressa was shocked. I didn't expect such rumors to be circulating. Where has the owner of the body been so far that there is not a single piece of information regarding the Dorton empire?

Andressa exhaled heavily before responding to Amelia's explanation.

“It turns out the rumors are that bad. Why is no one cracking down or investigating this issue?”

“Actually some parties have already tried to find out, but they did not get any evidence. The Dorton Empire always gave the excuse that the disappeared healers might have been preyed upon by beasts because the Dorton empire was surrounded by wilderness.”

It's getting awkward. All the information revealed by Amelia increasingly shows that there is something wrong here. Andressa wondered what the Emperor Dorton looked like and what life was like there. His curiosity greatly disturbed his mind.

“It should be that everyone can come to their senses for that absurd reason. Does it provide concrete evidence that the lost healers were actually attacked by wild animals?”

Amelia shakes.

“No, Miss. They didn't give any evidence. Dorton himself insisted that they were telling the truth. After all there is no reason for outsiders to suspect them because Dorton's reputation is very good in the eyes of outsiders regardless of the economic and social gaps experienced,” said Amelia, he has very detailed information.

“What does the Dorton side do until people are unsuspecting them?” Andressa asked once again because her curiosity was getting branching in her head.

“Dorton's side often donates and helps supply the ingredients of drug making. There are many lives that are helped because of this. Therefore, the empire of Dorton is highly respected since the leadership of the current emperor.”

“It turns out so? All right, I think I've got all the information I want to know. Thank you, apparently you have very useful information,” said Andressa immediately continued his activities concocting drugs.

Amelia looked at Andressa. Tumben once his superiors asked for information regarding other empires. Usually he is seen never showing curiosity about the kingdom or empire outside of Emilian.

“Why did you suddenly ask about the Dorton empire? Did you stumble into trouble with the Dorton party?” Amelia guessed and imagined an uncertain bad event.

“No, I got an invitation to attend a healer meeting there in a month. That's why I want to get info about the Dorton empire,” Andressa replied.

Amelia nodded and shut her mouth.

“Hah? You invited there? Oh my, lady, this is so weird! Wasn't the physician representative attending the meeting always determined by the emperor? I became worried. You better not have to attend, Miss. I myself do not fully trust the Dorton.” side

Andressa smiled faintly. Luckily he had subordinates who cared so much about his fate.

“Just calm down, I can overcome whatever difficulties may occur later. Save your worries, you're free to worry about me.”

Amelia took a long breath. Andressa is indeed difficult to prevent taking careless decisions like this. She was a stubborn girl and always believed in her own abilities.

“Alright, Miss. Hopefully nothing bad happens to you. I always pray for your safety wherever and whenever it is.”

Leyna looked uneasy at her residence palace. He did not stop pacing around in the room like someone was pestering his mind.

Then he sat himself on the sofa thinking long. No matter how much he tries to destroy Andressa and Lorcan's relationship, it's all for nothing. They both always have a way of thwarting Leyna's plans. The alert level of the two were on different levels so it was very difficult to pounce on them from behind.

Amidst his unrest, he suddenly received a call from emperor Dorton. Exactly the man called at times like this.

“Why did you just contact me? I'm in the abyss of anxiety and you're not giving me any ideas right now.” Leyna directly attacked Thales – the emperor Dorton with his scolding.

“How dare you scold me, when here I have a higher position than you. You better shut up before I cut your tongue.”

Leyna flinched. His body suddenly froze and goosebumps heard Thales' cold voice. Just this time the man scolded her, usually she did not take Leyna's babble seriously. It seemed like this was the effect of his lackluster mood.

“Why are you suddenly scolding me? What happened to you?”

The long breath of Thales was heard, his mind was completely in turmoil right now.

“I'm having trouble here. I called you because there was something I wanted to tell you,” Thales said.

“What do you want to say?” Leyna seemed to be more careful in speaking because she was afraid of being humbled by Thales.

Thales was silent for a split second then sounded from across the street his subordinates were talking to him. Leyna tried to wait patiently despite feeling angry because she was forced to wait for Thales to finish talking.

“Leyna, I understand you're nervous, but there's something you need to know. I've sent an invitation to the girl named Andressa. One more month maybe he'll come to the healer's meeting here. I will make him unable to return alive to Emilian. So, in the meantime can you give him a little lesson and make sure that his engagement to your son is delayed?”

Thales' words had just become a breath of fresh air for Leyna. His anxiety instantly vanished without a trace of silence.

“That means, within a month you can eliminate it? Goody! This way I can focus on my initial goal. Leave it to me, I'll cancel her engagement to Lorcan. You just kill that woman's life later. Please don't let him escape death.”

Thales chuckles. His fleeting voice of laughter sounded like someone confident that his plan might be able to actually succeed in killing Andressa. To him, Andressa was not a big threat because she had not seen firsthand the girl's ability.

“You underestimated me? Yeah, you just wait while sitting there sweet. You heard enough reports of my success slaughtering the girl. As strong as he is, there is no way he is stronger than me.”

Leyna smiled a grin. Hope filled his head at that time.

‘Truely, he couldn't possibly defeat Thales. She was just a weak woman. He was only lucky to be able to avoid the death I had planned all this time.’

Leyna's brain was colored by the imaginations of Andressa's death. Without him knowing that Andressa is not that easy they drop. Is it possible that later all their bad plans will strike back at themselves? Most likely like that.

“I believe in you. We've been working together for years. I'm sure you can get that woman out of my way. I'll wait a little while until I get word of Andressa's death. Just one more step until I succeed to the throne of emperor Emilian.”

“Yes, I'll make sure to send the girl's head to you later. With the Emilian you managed to master, it meant that my goal was almost completely achieved. Remember your duty, Leyna, break their engagement. I don't want to hear that you failed to thwart their engagement,” Thales said, pressing Leyna.

“I'll work on it. Take it easy, please wait to hear from me.”

Just a few days before the engagement ceremony of Andressa and Lorcan, there was a feud between the nobles in the palace meeting room. Suddenly, many nobles protested after Duke Fidel proposed his daughter's engagement to Lorcan. Some of the nobles defected in favor of Camille and Lorcan's engagement because Camille was considered more worthy of being empress than Andressa.

The atmosphere is heating up. Currently, there are two camps in one place. First, the Andressa supporters. Second, the Camille supporters. They argue with each other about who is suitable to be the mother of this empire in the future.

“Your Majesty, please reconsider your decision to marry viscountess Erriel! You should have chosen the lady of the Fidel duke's family just so that your honor is preserved,” Count Ewald insisted.

“Yes, Your Honor. There's nothing wrong with you getting engaged to Miss Camille. She is beautiful and famous for her hospitality in social circles. In addition, he understands about palace etiquette and has a graceful attitude.”

“Different from the viscountess Erriel who sometimes always just want to. She also did not have the graceful demeanor of Miss Camille. We have to keep Emilian from getting into bad rumors. Would you mind sharing it if Emilian's imperial name was tarnished as a result of you marrying that commoner's bloody girl?”

Camille's supporters were really excited and tried to corner the stronghold of Andressa supporters. They denigrated Andressa on the basis of his lineage as a commoner. It was irritating because they refused to realize Andressa's extraordinary ability in the field of medical science as well as his martial ability to control aether.

Duke Fidel simply smiled calmly in his seat while enjoying the unrelenting debate. He was confident that perhaps he could win Lorcan's heart in order to make the princess his empress.

“What the fuck are you guys?! Why are you guys questioning the viscountess bloodline? Hey, are your eyes blind? Instead, his contribution is much greater than Miss Camille for the welfare of the people. Has Miss Camille been doing anything this long? He just sat quietly while spoiling with his parents. You think that's enough to be empress?” Viscount Kaidan finally exploded.

“Yes, that's right! Viscountess Erriel has advantages that even Miss Camille does not have. In addition to a great able healer, he knew a lot about the etiquette of nobles and palaces. He also has broad insight, decisiveness, and does not depend on the emperor,” added baron Yerland also felt annoyance.

“You refused to be aware right? Ah, could it be that duke Fidel incited you to oppose the engagement of the emperor and viscountess Erriel?” Marquess Gencio raised his voice, his words shooting directly at duke Fidel.

At that time the duke Fidel immediately went up black because he felt insinuated. He and Marquess Gencio were never in line so it is not wrong why the two argue with each other all the time while holding a meeting in the palace.

“What do you mean? Why are you suddenly insinuating me? Marquess, I have never instigated anyone here. It's the truth, isn't it? My daughter is much more deserving of the title of queen. He has pure royal blood. Different from that commoner girl. It would be more profitable for the emperor if he married my daughter,” avenge duke Fidel from holding himself back from exploding.

“Is that so?” Marquess Gencio grinned. “I can't believe it because the nobles suddenly defected against this engagement after the Duke handed the betrothal proposal to the emperor. I think something's wrong here.”

“Badness!” Duke Fidel kicked the table. The anger is unbearable. He was darkened in the eyes by the momentary emotion. “Do not try to accuse me carelessly. Your position is not much higher than mine, so please respect me! Do you think you can win against me? Don't hope! Don't ever think that you can trample on me!”

Duke Fidel set the rhythm of the breath back. Lorcan only silently watched the commotion in the middle of the meeting. So he did not want to hold a meeting because he was too lazy to watch the noble debate. However, since this concerned his engagement, so he decided to hold a meeting with the nobility.

“Please stop! Shut the fuck up, everybody! Let me do the talking!” Lorcan was fed up, he shouted furiously in the meeting room. Can't stand to hear useless disagreements.

The meeting room became silent, no more sounds of nobles fighting with their mouths. Lorcan was a little calmer as he managed to take over.

“Then this silence is better. I can talk as I please. It's a pity that you're fussing over the decision I've made. Especially you, Duke Fidel!” Lorcan shined a sharp glance at duke Fidel. “How can you be so confident that he can change my decision from some time before? I don't think at all.”
