The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 1〈 The Crown Prince Who Sells Medicine # Moon Baek-gyeong, Mangi 〉

Episode 1. I take care of my body.

It would be better if something like a novel happened to me. I thought as I walked unsteadily across Yanghwa Bridge.

And I regretted it.

This is not why I became an Oriental medicine doctor. I didn’t know that the store would close after less than three years of operation. I really had no idea that I would end up in this much debt.

But at this time, I had no premonition.

I fell from Yanghwa Bridge.

Become the imperial prince in the novel.

Cover the vampire’s back with moxibustion.

Inserting a long needle into the ridge of a dragon’s wing.

At this time, I honestly didn’t know that I would be called the god of the world in the novel.

‘Ugh, it’s hot.’

A voice tapping in my head.

Lee Han frowned at the unfamiliar notification sound. For some reason, I felt the heat even while I was sleeping.

Maybe I’m not sober yet?

Or are you suffering from a terrible hangover?

Maybe so.

A sharp midwinter wind was blowing across Yanghwa Bridge, where I was walking just a moment ago. If you fell asleep in the corner there, you would feel the extreme cold. No, actually, I…

‘fell.’

Lee Han shrugged his shoulders for a moment.

Then, a thought occurred to me.

I didn’t mean to fall.

It’s just that my heart feels so tight.

While I was drunk, I wanted to shout out loud.

He held onto the railing of Yanghwa Bridge and raised his voice.

Then he fell over the railing.

‘So, I’m currently drowning in the water of the Han River in the middle of winter.’

A death that never occurred to me. I got scared. But somehow, strangely, it wasn’t cold.

Rather, it was hot.

I felt fortunate. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

A grin suddenly appeared on my lips.

But that was then.

“…Now, Your Highness.”

An unfamiliar voice knocked on my ear.

A voice that seemed somewhat full of worry spoke again.

I called this way.

“Your Majesty the Crown Prince, are you conscious?”

It didn’t end there.

A soft palm touches my shoulder. He shook it as if he was concerned.

…what is it?

Right now, I must be devoting my whole body to checking the water temperature of the Han River. Could it be that 119 has already been dispatched quickly? Is that why he saved me from the water before I died?

‘As expected, God Korea 119.’

Lee Han smiled satisfied.

Fortunately, I thought I didn’t die.

That’s it then. All you need is to be alive. Because we can start again. The debt I accumulated after taking down the sign for the Oriental Medical Clinic may be scary, but at least it is better than dying.

‘Let’s do better this time.’

You will have to work hard to repay your debt.

Let’s be brave though.

Let’s make a fresh start.

I opened my eyes with a firm resolve.

And I became dazed.

“…uh?”

The scenery before my eyes was very different from the Han River.

The person in front was not a 119 member either.

“majesty! Can you see me?”

A man crying and shaking this side.

He was a foreigner.

He was also a middle-aged man with great good looks. Smooth face brown hair and mustache. It looks like something you would create if you mixed Hollywood stars Brad Patt and Tom Kruve in a 5:5 ratio and voila.

Lee Han swallowed his confusion and asked without realizing it.

“Who is there?”

“…yes?”

I just asked one question.

The middle-aged man’s face became even more sad. Even the voice that came back was filled with tears.

“Hehehehe…! Your Majesty, do you really not remember me? Still, I will continue to follow Your Majesty. After all, I am Your Majesty’s personal doctor, Gardin!”

“….”

Something is strange about the situation.

At first, I thought it was a prank.

But when I looked around, I saw that it wasn’t true.

For an actor, the crying was too real.

What if that’s acting? A Grand Bell Award or even an Academy Award for Best Actor would be a good possibility. Moreover, the scenery here beyond the middle-aged and middle-aged people was also strange.

‘It’s indoors. Plus, it’s very flashy. ‘What is here?’

Lee Han just rolled his eyes.

To put it somewhat exaggeratedly, the interior was probably 100 pyeong in size. But the walls and ceiling were extravagant.

Did you notice this person’s appearance?

The man who identified himself as ‘Gardin’ spoke quickly.

“Do you by any chance remember? This is Your Majesty’s bedroom. “I was away because he was writing a diary a little while ago… but he didn’t call me after some time, so when I came in, he was vomiting blood and passed out.”

bedroom? here?

‘But you want me to tell you this? why?’

I don’t know anymore.

Confusing.

Lee Han tried to keep his cool.

He spoke to the middle-aged man who was still crying.

“Look, I’m a little thirsty. Is there any water…”

“It’s here!”

Before I could finish speaking, the man held out a glass of water at the speed of light. It was an enormous water cup richly decorated with gold, silver, and even precious stones.

“….”

Just looking at the diamond arm here, it doesn’t seem to be cubic. The more I look at the handle, the more I see… It’s 24k gold.

When I tried to open my mouth, I felt embarrassed for some reason.

But thirst came first.

I received a glass of water.

tilted

I took a big gulp.

Then, by chance, my eyes fell on a large mirror erected in a distance. Inside was a young man with an unfamiliar and pale appearance.

“….”

A man raised only his upper body from the bed. A man fixates his gaze on the mirror while drinking a glass of water. However, the glass of water held by the man in the mirror did not look unfamiliar.

24k gold handle.

It is even studded with diamonds, which are on a different level from cubic ones.

It’s so amazing and sad that I feel like I should even say it.

While holding a glass of water, I quenched my thirst…

“…Poo-eup!”

I squirted.

This and the man in the mirror.

At the same time, a lot of water came out.

“My Highness!”

Gardin was startled and took out a towel. I polished the corners of my mouth and my forehead with gold and jade.

Meanwhile, Lee Han just stared at the mirror. Gardin, reflected in the mirror, was also wiping the mouth of a young man.

‘Is that me?’

He was not a man in his early 40s.

He was a young man in his early 20s.

Moreover, the appearance seemed strangely familiar to me.

I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere…

“…Rachiel Adria Magentano.”

I remembered.

Obvious.

That pale face.

A harsh expression and eyes.

The novel I read until this afternoon.

‘Emperor of the Demon Sword’… also known as the ‘Emperor of the Demon Sword’. It is the same as the illustration of the crown prince that appeared in the novel. No, it seems like it was just copied from reality.

‘But now I’m Rachiel?’

Is this true?

No, it feels like a dream.

But no matter how you look at it, it was reality.

I can’t believe it, but the sensations in my body and the scenery around me. It was too clear and vivid to be dismissed as just a dream or an illusion.

“Ha haha….”

A new realization.

I couldn’t help but laugh.

What can I say?

It felt like the shackles were being taken off.

‘So, have I become the crown prince in the novel?’

It seems like that.

The meaning was clear.

The enormous loan debt and interest that remained after the oriental medicine clinic went bankrupt. It means that you have been freed from that bondage. It also means that you no longer have to struggle to pay off your debt.

“Ha hahaha haha.”

This is exactly what it would feel like if you picked up a lottery winning paper while walking down the street.

My heart was pounding.

I jumped up.

But that was then.

“…uh?”

Peeing.

suddenly.

Suddenly.

The world spun.

anemia? Dizziness?

I couldn’t figure it out.

My legs just gave out.

Because of this, I couldn’t even get up halfway and had to sit down on the bed.

“Oh? “My Highness!”

Gardin, who was frightened, quickly helped us up.

“Ugh… why…?”

Is it because my whole body is so weak?

It was strange.

I didn’t understand.

If you’re in your early 20s, you’re in your prime. But it feels so wrong, like I haven’t starved for 10 days. I was much more lethargic than my original body when I was in my 40s.

“…wait for a sec.”

Lee Han paused.

His eyes turned to the mirror.

“….”

Then, a thought occurred to me.

The early story of the novel Demon Sword Emperor.

Crown Prince Rachiel is not the main character. He is merely a supporting background character who appears only briefly in the beginning.

A chronic illness that I had suffered from since childhood worsened.

I was slurping in bed and squealing.

He dies at the age of only 22.

Afterwards, the empire is swept into the vortex of a great war. In the midst of that chaos, the real protagonist walks the path of a true hero.

That was the introduction to the novel ‘The Demon Sword Emperor’.

‘…Let’s summarize. So, this is me pretending to be a sickly prince who suffers from a chronic illness at the beginning of the novel and then dies.’

He said he became a member of the royal family.

He said his troubles were over.

The feeling of flying suddenly subsided. Realization finally came like a wave.

I’m saying this clearly.

If this is really true.

I’m fucked.

♣

“Whoa. “This is real.”

30 minutes have passed.

Ihanani, Rachiel was facing the mirror. There stood a pale-looking, silver-haired man standing there. It was Crown Prince Raquiel Adria Magentano.

‘that’s interesting.’

It’s not that it wasn’t, it was truly amazing.

That’s your reflection in the mirror.

Honestly, I couldn’t quite believe it.

‘But that’s not the point.’

Rachiel frowned.

Regardless of whether he became the crown prince or not.

Whether you have power and money or not.

If you squeal and die, the game is over.

Moreover, the more I knew, the worse the situation became.

“Gardin. “I’m 21 now?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“….”

Current age: 21 years old.

What if you recall the development in the novel?

‘Even if you hold on to it for as long as possible, you only have one year left to live.’

As I thought about it, I sighed deeply.

I wondered how I ended up in this situation.

‘This isn’t any novel.’

How did you end up becoming a character in a novel?

I couldn’t figure it out.

I couldn’t even understand.

However, there was one clear fact.

‘For the first time in a long time, I became a high-ranking person and I was able to live comfortably.’

But there are obstacles.

The obstacles are quite large.

‘I have to live less than a year before I die.’

Rakiel recalled the development from the beginning of the novel through the sighs that continued to flow. Fortunately, I have a very good memory, so I was able to recall most of the information.

‘Rachiel was the crown prince and received all treatment from the imperial family.’

Enjoyed all the best medical benefits.

He also received countless blessings from priests.

But all was to no avail.

Despite pouring out all of the imperial family’s capabilities like pouring over bone broth, the crown prince in the novel, Rakiel, died unable to overcome illness.

‘So there is only one answer.’

There is no hope of survival with the medical techniques here. The same goes for mobilizing outstanding priests. That’s a method that has failed in all novels. Even though I knew that fact, I had no intention of relying solely on the medical technology here.

then?

There is only one way left.

Rachiel concluded.

‘Do you think I will die in vain like a novel, leaving behind the promised rich, rich, and royal life?’

I absolutely don’t want to die.

I will do everything I can.

Moreover, fortunately, there was an oriental medicine that had never been tried here.

“Whew. “Gardin?”

“Yes, Your Highness?”

Rakiel spoke to Gardin.

“From now on, acupuncture… No, I have something to do, so go out and get me some needles. Size doesn’t matter, as much as possible.”

“…yes?”

Gardin flinched in surprise.

Rakiel smiled brightly.

And I made a firm resolve in my heart.

If you were a crown prince about to die.

But what if you can’t save yourself with the medical techniques here?

Improving the constitution, restoring vitality, nourishing tonic, and even increasing vitality.

From now on, I will take care of my body.
