The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 124Episode 124 Joy and sorrow with the enemy (2)

“…Wow! “Huh!”

A man was running down a luxurious hallway. I ran with my hands full of folders and my whole body sweating profusely. His expression was filled with only disappointment. It’s late. It’s not even an ordinary perception. The man thought about what was waiting for him.

Emperor of Magentano.

Asterion Testarossa Magentano.

The ruler of the continent’s most powerful country would be waiting for him when he arrived late. No, it must be lurking. At that thought, the man’s legs almost gave out for a moment.

However, he managed to come to his senses while thinking of his rabbit-like children and brown bear-like wife who were cheering him on even at this very moment. I hurried even harder. Finally we arrived at our destination. The deepest part of the imperial palace. It was the emperor’s resting place.

“…You’re late.”

As I walked in, trying hard to choose my outfit, one word struck me right away. The emperor’s heavy voice. The man’s legs almost gave out again. But he did not lose sight of his duty. No, I opened my mouth quickly to avoid losing my life.

“I see Your Majesty the Emperor, the rightful ruler of this land. “I tried to move on time to report, but additional information came in at the right time, so I committed a deadly crime trying to compile and organize the information.”

“This is additional information.”

“It’s about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”

“Say it.”

The Emperor’s voice softened.

The Minister of Intelligence of the Male Empire finally relaxed. At the same time, I also secretly resented Crown Prince Rachiel.

The reason was simple.

It was after Crown Prince Rachiel left for Amboise. He had to roast the emperor almost every day. The emperor did not miss a day and asked about the crown prince’s movements.

Did the crown prince arrive in Amboise safely? Who did the prince meet when he arrived? What did the child do today? Did he have a good breakfast? Did he toss and turn at night? Did he cough during the change of seasons? etc.

It was almost like nails were pounding into my ears. Now, just by hearing the word ‘hwang’, I could hear the game going on while I was sleeping at night. But there was nothing else to do. He was the chief person in charge of information, and the other person was his employer(?). The best thing to do was to peel it.

Therefore, it became routine to report the crown prince’s movements in front of the emperor at the same time every day.

“I present to you the 107th regular report. First of all, five days ago, His Royal Highness left the Amboise Kingdom Army’s camp for wounded soldiers, also known as ‘Healing Camp.’

“You left the healing camp? “That guy?”

“That is so, Your Majesty.”

“Why?”

“When we first heard the report, we could not guess His Majesty the Crown Prince’s purpose. So it took time to collect and analyze additional information, and the conclusion we finally reached was…”

“What is the conclusion?”

“It looks like Your Highness will soon return to Magenta, the ecliptic.”

“okay?”

The emperor remained expressionless. However, his honest(?) upper body was suddenly leaning slightly forward.

A report from the Minister of Intelligence followed.

“That’s right. According to reports from special informants planted in the Healing Camp, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent Jeon Seo-gu away seven days ago. “That is the basis for guessing your return.”

“Jeonseo-gu is the basis. Under what circumstances?”

“I have obtained the Jeonseo-gu. “I opened Jeon Seo-gu’s letter in a completely inconspicuous way, checked its contents, sealed it again, and sent it to its original destination.”

“So, to whom was the letter addressed and with what content?”

“This is a farewell letter to Princess Amboise.”

“farewell?”

“That is so, Your Majesty.”

“More details.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. His Majesty asked the Princess of Amboise that it seems like all the work he had to do here has been completed and it is time to return to the Oriental Medicine Clinic in the villa. In addition, we have added a request to be sure to deliver the Queen Vesparos wine, which has been stored in a large oak barrel, to the villa.”

“Hmm. “Is that so?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. “Today’s report ends here.”

“Right. “Go away.”

“I am devastated.”

After completing the report, the Minister of Intelligence Command resigned. The emperor, left alone, fell into silence. I rested my chin solemnly, recalling the report I had just heard.

And then I quietly looked around.

No one is here.

So, you can laugh.

“…Huh hmm hmm hmm.”

The corner of his mouth suddenly ascends to the sky amidst his lush beard!

‘Now, goodbye to the days when I toss and turn in my sleep every day, engulfed in worry.’

The emperor was truly happy. My son is coming. The son who went to war returns safely. I couldn’t be happier about that simple fact. If the clothes she was wearing weren’t so cumbersome with all the decorations, she would have wanted to dance right here.

In fact, I had been very worried all along. When I sent it, I had no idea it would be like this. I just thought that the first child would be able to gain valuable experience. But when I actually sent it, I felt something unexpected. I suffered from insomnia for several days. Whenever I took a short nap, I always had a nightmare. It was an ugly dream, with my first child getting into an accident, etc.

I was anxious. No matter what I did, I couldn’t get the job done. It was a day of hard work and anxiety.

But the first one is coming.

My heart was full. The corners of his mouth continued to curl up reproachfully.

“Hmm hmmm hmmm.”

But let’s laugh for now. When he comes back, he won’t be able to show off his happiness like he does now. For his sake, I have to keep a stern face. Even if it’s just now, I should secretly be very happy in advance.

‘So come back as soon as possible. Show this father that he is safe. hurry.’

The solemn shoulders of the emperor lurking on the throne of power secretly shook with a thrilling vibe.

♣

“Hehe hehe.”

The morning has come.

Rakiel raised his head. As soon as I woke up, I felt the sage thyme as thick as bone broth and lifted my shoulders. On the other hand, I thought. Ah, how did I end up becoming the personal doctor of the rebel leader?

‘Life is real.’

They say you don’t know people.

I never thought that the day would come in my life when I would suddenly become the personal doctor of someone I considered an enemy. I had no idea that the moment would come when I would have to wake that person up early in the morning with a bright smile on his face.

But what can you do?

If you want to live, you have to do it.

“Ugh. “It’s my daughter.”

He grumbled and got up.

It was then.

“Are you awake now?”

A polite voice came from right next to me. It was so sudden. When did it come? There was no sign of it or anything.

“…Twap!”

That’s why I was so surprised. Even when I thought about it, I ended up letting out a strange(?) scream. Only after that was I able to turn my head and check on the other person.

“this. “I surprised my doctor early this morning.”

“….”

It was Javilon, the leader of the rebel army. He smiled his characteristic cool and polite smile.

“How was it?”

“Yes?”

“A dragonfly. “Wasn’t it uncomfortable?”

“…yes? “A little.”

“little?”

“Was it okay?”

“Thank goodness.”

He laughed again.

“You are different from me. “I tend to toss and turn when I change my bed.”

“Is that so?”

“Hmm. I was worried. “I was wondering what would happen if I didn’t like the bed in the new lodging I was provided with.”

“….”

Should I be thankful that he cares so openly? However, this person named Javilon always seems to smile politely, but not as brightly as his eyes. If you look closely, the eyes are always so depressed that they are cold.

Without any laughter. Without even the slightest emotion. Like a wolf searching for prey.

“I am okay. “Then I will do a morning examination.”

Rachiel quickly caught the dry saliva that was about to go down her throat. As if to hastily remove the awkwardness that had been brewing between the two for a moment, the doctor said, recalling what he had to do. But Javilon’s reaction was unexpected.

“No, you don’t need to do that.”

“Yes?”

“It means there is no need for a medical examination.”

“But…”

“I am a sword master. “I’m sure you are well aware of that fact.”

“yes.”

“That’s it. I know my body best. From the faintest and most insignificant flow of mana to the harmonious circulatory balance between muscles and blood vessels. “It is the privilege of those who have achieved the endless circulation of mana.”

“Is that so?”

“yes.”

“But then why did you make me your doctor?”

“Are you curious?”

While we were talking, the soldier on duty moved around diligently. The breakfast table was prepared in an instant. But despite the name, there was only a glass of cold water in front of him. Conversely, two loaves of bread and a plate of fried eggs were placed in front of this side.

Javilon grabbed his cold water. I raised my glass as if making a toast.

“I didn’t tell you yesterday. Stay by my side 24 hours a day. “I want you to see and feel my ideals and purpose and the path forward.”

And then suddenly.

I finished my meal with a sip of cold water. He then gestured with his chin and pointed to the plate in front of him.

“Drink.” “I will wait for you.”

“Oh yeah…”

It’s burdensome.

It’s crazy and burdensome.

He ended up skipping breakfast with a single shot of cold water. This is bread and I can’t believe I’m watching you eat a fried egg. It was a gaze so blatant that it was embarrassing to even call it blatant. I felt like I was going to pretend.

‘Isn’t this a bit unmannered?’

But I couldn’t argue openly. This is his lair and he is the sword master. Even Damian, the protagonist of the Demon Sword Emperor, could not withstand a head-on confrontation with Iza until he had grown up considerably. So, what if I carelessly offend this interest now?

“…Thank you, I will eat well!”

I picked up the fork with sincerity(?) for survival. As if to show off, I deliberately ate the bread and fried eggs with even more happiness. My eyes were only focused on the plate and food. It was because I felt like I would pretend to be real if I made eye contact with that person while eating.

“Uum tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk. “The bread is very sweet.”

“….”

“Slurp wagu wagu.” Eggs are also quite filling.”

“….”

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.” “I didn’t know water could be this refreshing.”

“It has to be that way. It’s bound to be sweet, hearty, and refreshing. “It’s food made from ingredients taken from a nearby farm that was looted and burned last night.”

“…Puup!”

I ended up spitting out the water I was drinking. Water splashed all the way to Javilon’s top. My heart sank.

But Javilon’s complexion was calm. He said.

“Nothing to be surprised. There is nothing to find strange. This is a farm that secretly supplied supplies to the kingdom’s army without even knowing the subject. As punishment, all livestock was slaughtered and grain was confiscated. “All the farmhouses and warehouses were burned down.”

“Then the person…”

“Are you curious?”

“….”

I hope I didn’t swallow my dry saliva. I hope Mokuldae doesn’t shake.

A cynicism appeared on Javilon’s lips.

“You mean the farmer? Burned alive. “It was a shabby scream fit for someone who rebelled against the future of a great kingdom and people and clung to the dregs of old ways.”

“….”

“Why are you doing this? “Have you lost your appetite?”

Of course.

Thinking that the bread and eggs I had been eating a little while ago contained the sincerity and effort of the farmer who was burned alive yesterday, I already wanted to vomit.

But it couldn’t be done. Javilon didn’t even give them a chance to feel disgusted. Suddenly, his upper body was tilted forward. I crossed the table and looked at him intently.

I can’t avoid my eyes.

He said.

“Surgeon Lee Han?”

“yes.”

“If you don’t want to continue eating, could you answer my question?”

“What kind of question is this?”

“It’s a simple question.”

“….”

Oh this.

It’s a scene I feel like I’ve seen somewhere before.

Javilon gently curls one corner of his mouth in this direction. Looking at that scene, Rakiel suddenly thought. This is a familiar scene. It’s not unfamiliar. why? Where did you see it?

The answer immediately occurred to me.

‘Novel Demonic Sword Emperor.’

The moment I remember that.

Javilon’s mouth opened.

“I will ask you one question. What if Dr. Lee Han? Suppose we must make a choice to make our country and people greater.”

“….”

I’ve seen this question in a novel.

“One option is for the military doctor himself to make some kind of sacrifice. But it won’t be a simple sacrifice. Nor would it be a holy sacrifice. You will meet a most shameful and humiliating end. Not only you but your family will fall into a miserable abyss. You will even be insulted and criticized by future generations. forever.”

“….”

“The other choice is to sacrifice others. This is a way to massacre tens of thousands of people as if burying them alive. However, you will not have to be questioned or punished for that matter. No, rather, he will be respected from generation to generation as a hero who made a bold decision. This too, forever.”

“….”

“As long as you put both into practice, you will lead your country and people to the path of prosperity.”

“….”

“What about Military Doctor Lee Han? “Which path will you choose?”

Before I knew it, there was no trace of a smile left on Javilon’s face. He was staring at me with a blatant look in his eyes.

But Rachiel was not facing him. Instead, he was lost in his own thoughts. Are you trying to find an answer to Javilon’s question? Of course not.

‘Because… I already know the answer to that question.’

Suddenly, the contents of the novel came to mind. There were several scenes in the novel where Javilon asked that question. So, that question was Jabilon’s secret standard for evaluating people.

‘Jabilon. He had a lot of doubts. Even close associates did not trust me easily. So when I found the person I wanted to keep closest to me, I made sure to ask that question. ‘I’m going to make a judgment based on what kind of answer you give.’

But no one told him the right answer. No, not even Javilon himself knew what the correct answer was. I myself have spent my entire life wondering and wandering in search of the right answer.

Then, at the last moment, I came up with the answer myself. He faced death with a desolate cynicism toward himself.

So I know the answer to that question.

“Why are you not answering? “Are you still worried?”

“….”

Javilon’s voice sounded in my ear.

Before he knew it, his gaze had become narrower. This is a dangerous sign. I also know the meaning of those eyes.

‘He didn’t know the right answer to his question, but at least he knew the worst answer.’

That was not being able to make any choice. I was hesitating between the two paths he suggested. When someone he had decided to keep as his confidant reacted in that way, he turned extremely ruthless. S~eaʀᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

In other words, he cut off his head on the spot.

As I remembered those images, my mind was made up. On the other hand, I was also looking forward to Javilon’s reaction when he heard the answer he was looking for without being able to find it himself.

Of course, I was also confident that there was zero chance of harm to this person if I gave the correct answer.

“Are you sure you can’t make a decision?”

Javilon’s eyes become even narrower. The eyes shining through the narrowed eyelids were trying to sparkle like those of a reptile.

The moment I saw that.

Rachiel hesitated.

I finally opened my mouth.

“…is this a country that becomes holy only when one sacrifices itself and covers up the shame, or slaughters countless others to gain honor?”

“exactly.”

Javilon smiled with only his lips. There was anticipation in the corner of his eyes. Looking into those eyes, Rachiel mouthed the correct answer to the question that had appeared in the novel.

Without skipping a single tosi.

Raw.

“Fuck you. “Is that me?”
