Chapter 158 - 158 "Helping Jennifer"
158 “Helping Jennifer”
“This way, My Lady.”
A knight spoke as he lead the way to the field hospital for Jennifer.
She was wearing a red and black coloured mixed knight suit, which represented that she was under the third knight squadron which was being lead by the Crown Princess.
‘Did the past me, who was busy with screwing up the empress in this battle could imagine that she herself will join the war to help her?’
In her past life, Jennifer used her knowledge about medicines to create troubles for Eleanora and ended up killing many people.
This time, she wants to save life and pursue her dream of being a doctor.
She was skilled but it was too bad that she wasted it because she craved for fatherly love and ler herself being brainwashed by her own father.
‘Maybe i can atone a little for my sins that way...’
“The road is uneven. So be careful of your steps.”
.....
“Okay, Thank you. How far is the hospital?”
Jennifer thanked the knight and asked about their destination at the same time.
“We’re almost there.”
The knight spoke as they stood before a cracked old building.
Jennifer was shocked to see the sight of the hospital, which doesn’t even looks suitable for people to live.
Let alone sick patients.
“This is a hospital?!”
Jennifer asked with shock.
“Yes, this is the rear field hospital. It’s under the control of Headquarters.”
The knight spoke with an awkward expression as he didn’t knew how to reply to her question properly.
“Okay, Thank you for escorting me here. You can go back.”
“Take care, My Lady.”
The knight politely spoke before he turned to go back and Jennifer entered the building.
“I don’t want to die...”
“UGHH...”
“Thirsty...”
“Oh my god, wait! Don’t move!”
Jennifer shouted at the man who wanted to move to get some water to drink.
She poured some water in a glass as she helped that person to drink water.
‘Where are the nurses?’
Jennifer thought as she looked around but there was no one to help them.
Even their bandages was done very poorly with no medical skills.
‘This won’t do anything good for their recovery.’
‘Normally this won’t infect the others but here this poorly bandages will make their wound worse and they are just going to infect one another to another.’
Jennifer thought as she looked at those wounded soldiers and felt sorry for them.
‘This is not a problem which can be solved by treating one or two people.’
‘Everything here must be rectified...’
‘I have to meet the person in charge here.’
…
“It’s an honour to meet you... Lady Raven... *hiccup*...Am L-Lieutenant Wades... The head of this field hospital.... what did you find me for?”
The person in charge of the hospital spoke as he hiccupped because of drunkness.
‘Oh my god! he reeks like alcohol…the soldiers are dying and he was busy drinking?!’
Jennifer thought as she covered her nose a little as she couldn’t stand the smell of alcohol coming from the person infront of her.
“Lieutenant Hades... I have something to discuss about the patients here.”
“In order to treat them properly, the environment needs to be improved immediately.”
“...”
“...”
“The ward’s environment is not good and this is why the patients are still ill...”
Lieutenant Wade spoke in a daze because of the effect of alcohol, which made Jennifet frown as she understood that he was not taking her seriously.
“My Lady, you may not know this but we are in the middle of a war. They are the circumstances.”
“!!!”
“I also know that the environment of the battlefield is bad, But...
At the very least, we should make an effort to give the wounded soldiers the best treatment possible, Right?”
“...”
‘She’s being so difficult.’
‘The patients condition has nothing to do with me!’
But still lieutenant Wade tried his best to conceal his anger because Jennifer is the daughter of Duke Raven.
“That’s true, but it’s outside of my jurisdiction. I’ve only been told to run the hospital.”
“If you want to improve the hospital, you’ll have to talk with the command of logistics office; who are in charge of supplying with the hospital materials.”
“...”
‘He is clearly neglecting his responsibilities.’
Jennifer sighed as she heard Lieutenant Wade’s words and left without saying anything more as it would go on waste.
…
Imperial Army Base Camp~
“Come in, Lady Raven.”
“I am Samuel, the person in charge of the hospital supplies.”
“Are you here to talk about the field hospital?”
Sir Samuel spoke as he gestured Jennifer to sit on the sofa.
“Yes, Actually...”
Jennifer started to speak about the condition of the hospital as soon as she sat down.
“Hmm... Is that so?”
Sir Samuel asked as he pretend to take the things Jennifer spoke off very seriously.
“Yes, If you want to treat the wounded soldiers, you must ractify the wards first.”
“Okay, I understand. Now that you have bought it up, I’ll find a chance to discuss it with the boss.”
“...”
“Now that you are done talking, Could you please leave?”
“!!!”
‘Discuss it with the boss?! So when will you do that...?’
‘The issue is simple, but even if i have outstanding abilities, I won’t be able to solve this easily.’
‘I need help, someone with political power...’
“Ouch!”
As Jennifer was lost in thought, she accidentally bumped into someone and fall back.
.....
But to her surprise, she didn’t felt any pain as the person caught her in time.
“Be careful, Lady Raven.”
The person spoke with cold voice and Jennifer quickly fixed her posture.
“T-Thank you, Dame Dalton.”
“It’s nothing.”
Eleanora spoke and didn’t waited another moment to stand there with Jennifer.
But as soon as she turned around, Jennifer called her from behind.
“Dame Dalton!”
“Yes?”
“I-I have something to say... Can we talk?”
“...”
Eleanora looked at Jennifer coldly and observed her for a few moment.
‘Why am i like this... I should hate them but why don’t i feel resentment towards her?’
‘But i shouldn’t let down my guard around her... let’s see what scheme she is up too first.’
In the end, she sighed and agreed because of Jennifer’s serious determined gaze which felt no harm to her.
“Okay, Come with me.”
As soon as Jennifer got Eleanora’s approval, her face lift up and she smiled at her happily.
“THANK YOU, DAME DALTON!!”
‘Pff- why does she looks like a blonde puppy to me?’
Eleanora thought inside of her mind, while still keeping a cold poker face.
…
Eleanora walked towards the headquarters along with Jennifer.
After talking with her, Eleanora was surprised to hear Jennifer’s suggestion.
She never considered the fact that people could be saved this way too.
‘Indeed, all i know is how to kill enemies and make war strategies.’
Eleanora kept thinking as they walked.
‘Jennifer’s medical achievements may be outstanding, but she don’t have a formal position as a doctor.’
‘And am only able to suggest things in the battlefield, not make decisions let alone the medical field where i have zero experience.’
‘The imperial army is a century old army squad, how can i help her to save more people...’
“Eleanora?”
“What are you doing here infront of the Headquarters?”
“!?”
Cathain spoke as he noticed Eleanora, who was lost in thoughts standing infront of the headquarters along with someone...
“I, Jennifer La Liana Raven, greet his majesty, the sun of our empire.”
“Eleanora, why are you here?”
“...”
Jennifer was speechless as Cathain ignored her and walked towards Eleanora.
He narrowed his eyes and got in the middle of them to keep Jennifer stand farther away from Eleanora.
‘If am not wrong, She is the one whom Brayden had recommend for joining in the war, right?’
‘That blonde dog’s sister... Who had kissed her?’
[The scene when Jennifer fall from the tree and Eleanora catched her, where Jennifer had accidentally kissed Eleanora’s cheeks.]
Instantly, Jennifer become one of the many love rivals in his eyes.
Where Eleanora thought of something else.
If she talks with the emperor, who is the commander in charge of the battlefield...
Won’t it be easier to make the other people agree with our idea too?
‘Although our relationship is not the best... But it still concerns the lives of many people and will cost a lot of money....
it would be better if she can convince him.’
Eleanora looked at Jennifer who was looking down with an awkward expression.
“Lady Raven have something to suggest. Her idea is really effective and i think it’s good for our soldiers.
If you have time, can you please listen to her?”
Eleanora spoke formally and took a step back to let Jennifer come forward and talk with Cathain.
Seeing her action, Cathain frowned.
‘What’s this? Does she not mind me talking with other woman’s?’
‘I feel like killing whenever i see her with someone else except me... Does she not have any slightest feelings for me?’
“...”
Jennifer felt like if looks could kill then Cathain’s gaze would have already killed her into pieces.
Without waiting for another moment, Cathain grabbed Eleanora’s wrist and entered the room with her.
Which not only shocked Eleanora who was suddenly pulled inside but also Jennifer, who was left outside.
‘What just happened?’
