The Duke Stole Everything (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 111

The Merchant shuffled out of the Count’s mansion.

The Merchant’s medical knowledge was ordinary, and since he wasn’t a physician, he couldn’t perform an examination. Thus, contrary to his hopes, he wouldn’t get to meet Lady Chellonar in person.
