Sent to Another World!

“Duke Squall, it was unfortunate this time.”
Alex felt a strange tension in the words as if they were referring to a natural disaster.

“Your Majesty, I believe that appropriate measures should be taken. We should also put more efforts to prevent such incidents in the future.”
Alex’s words contained a bit of his anger.

“Duke Squall, please calm down. I’ve conducted a thorough investigation. I understand that the issue this time lies with the second son of the Cactus family, Ismar Cactus.”

“Is that the case? Then, what kind of measures will Your Majesty take?”
“Hum, I will force a donation of 5,000 platinum coins from the Cactus family and an indefinite house arrest of the second son, Ismar.”
A single platinum coin has the value of a thousand gold coins, making it a huge fine, but…

“… Your Majesty, isn’t that too light? Does Your Majesty expect the victims will be satisfied?”
“I have explained the situation to Viscount Moss and sent him 100 platinum coins as compensation. I will also make arrangements for his daughter’s marriage. And Duke Squall, I understand you’re angry that your separate residence was attacked, but can you endure it? We can’t afford to crush the Cactus family at this point.”

The head of the Cactus family, Oscar Cactus, was in the process of negotiating a trade treaty with the neighboring country, the Kingdom of Mines.
This negotiation was crucial for the country’s finances. And Oscar has used his connections to the maximum advantage in this negotiation.
Therefore, it was impossible to damage Oscar’s mood, let alone dismiss him at that moment.

“However, Your Majesty, the principle of rewarding and punishing is important. Would Your Majesty reconsider it again?”

“Please, Duke Squall, can you swallow this for now?”
Alex couldn’t help but be taken aback by King Julius’s bowing and plea.

“… Understood. I will accept that for now. But what about Yosh — the physician, the person directly involved?”

“The physician? He’s probably a commoner. I’ve given him 5 platinum coins.”

“Your Majesty, please reconsider! He is an invaluable talent that we can’t afford to lose. And he’s not someone who can be swayed by money.”

“What are you saying? He’s just a commoner physician.”

“Can a commoner physician prepare medicine for pulmonary disease? He is a person of saintly character. We need to treat him with the utmost respect and consideration.”

“You sure exaggerate, Duke Squall. I’m aware of his treatment skills. He is just handing out medicine. If that’s the case, we can research the medicine ourselves.”

“Your Majesty! He saved my wife and daughter. We can’t tolerate such ingratitude.”

Alex pleaded desperately. But from King Julius’s perspective, a medicine made by some commoner physician should be able to be replicated.
Moreover, many people had already obtained samples of the medicine. That could serve as research materials. It should be enough to finish researching it.
As a result, he undervalued Yoshinobu himself. And there was a significant difference in perspective between him and Alex.

“Duke Squall, an urgent messenger has arrived from your mansion.”
A palace guard rushed in with the news.

“Urgent news… What’s the content?”
“Right, it’s about the physician Yoshinobu. He has left the mansion.”

Alex’s expression darkened.

TL Note

Yoshinobu: Have a never seen armored vehicle

King: Eh- A normal commoner. 5 Platinum Coins is enough
