The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 227Episode 227 Father’s care and worry (2)

Doo doo doo doo doo…!

The earth is shaking. The ground trembles and the air bounces and bounces against my chest. My heart tap dances inside my beaten ribs. The sound hits my whole body like that.

“…Waaaa-!”

The sound of drums shaking the earth.

Explosive shouts.

Firearms fired.

Floating petals.

In it, Rachiel raised her head and looked around. The first thing that caught my eye was the wide street. The wide road stretched out in a straight line. As for its width, it seemed to be about the same as the road in front of Gwanghwamun in Seoul.

However, the entire road was filled with colorful honor guards and troops. The number is likely to be in the thousands. So, this was an orderly military parade led by an honor guard. No, it was an improvement ceremony. This is the triumphal ceremony of the emperor’s personal guards who rushed to Kranos.

“This is all for you.”

A heavy voice flowing from the side. The moment Rakiel heard that, he unconsciously shrugged his shoulders slightly. I looked to the side with a creaking motion.

There the emperor was staring intently.

“….”

Our eyes met. I quickly looked away. But it was no use. The emperor’s mouth opened again without fail. Of course, the sound that came out of his mouth was a solemn admonition.

“No matter how stupid the crown prince is, he went on a rampage without knowing how precious his life was, but shouldn’t he also be given some political standing? “That is Jim’s job.”

“….”

Here we go again.

I remembered 20 days ago when I met the emperor outside Kranos. It has been like this ever since. Whenever the emperor met his face, he would admonish him with harsh words. It made me wonder if he was born just to diss this side.

Of course, it was still the same now.

“So I have prepared something for you. Look. Don’t those citizens know anything and are just cheering and welcoming you for the superficial fact that the crown prince saved the border city of Kranos?”

“….”

“It’s truly a pity. How can we explain to them that the heir to the imperial family forgot his status and its importance and risked his life for a city on the border? “How can I excuse that stupid and foolish behavior to them?”

“….”

“But don’t worry. I won’t be criticized by them for that today. “Isn’t this also consideration for you?”

“….”

“How was it? “Why do you have no answer?”

“I am devastated.”

Rachiel quickly gave a standard answer. Of course, such a pitiful answer had no effect on the emperor.

“A castle that wouldn’t be particularly shocking.”

“….”

Oh, this guy is real.

‘Are you enjoying it?’

Perhaps the emperor feels the reward and true taste of life through longing for this side. Rachiel grumbled inwardly and looked at the triumphal parade taking place on the main street of Magenta, the ecliptic.

Of course, the grumbling was not sincere.

‘Because I saw the emperor’s expression…’

I remembered something from 20 days ago.

The expression on the emperor’s face as he ran towards Kranos at that time also came to mind. In fact, I still can’t forget that face and eyes. That strict, cold-hearted man who seemed like he wouldn’t shed any blood or tears was running towards me with a completely broken look on his face.

It was something I had never imagined. Of course, I never expected it. Of course, as soon as he saw that this person was safe, that expression disappeared completely, but even so, he could feel it while looking at the emperor.

That person seems to be at ease.

It’s pouring out my heart.

‘I guess that’s why he prepared this grand triumphal ceremony while still pretending to admonish me. ‘To use what happened in Kranos as an excuse to strengthen my political position.’

Making the Crown Prince a hero. Is there a better means of political propaganda than this? And is there anyone who can’t hide his true feelings as well as this emperor?

‘It’s so… obvious.’

The look in his eyes while he was admonishing this person. At first glance, the real expression is visible underneath the iron mask-like expression.

In fact, it is extremely gentle.

I didn’t know before, but now I understand a little bit.

‘Ugh. Tsundere. No, power dere.’

A sigh that I didn’t know existed escaped me. In fact, Rachiel’s diagnosis(?) was accurate. At this moment, the emperor’s nostrils were fluttering quietly without anyone noticing. I was so happy and satisfied.

‘Heh heh heh heh.’

Emperor Asterion was happy. Laughter naturally flowed out. But I didn’t want to show it. If he did that, his eldest son would be caught off guard. Because it could easily come loose.

I didn’t like that. My son still needs to improve further. So, you must remain a strict father. Even if you get criticized, you have to do it. It was because of that kind of thought. The emperor suppressed with all his might the facial muscles that were trying to twerk.

On the other hand, he remembered what happened a month ago.

Did you receive urgent notice? An uprising that occurred in Kranos. Warlock and undead army. The crown prince said he personally moved to subdue them. battle. Explosion in the canyon. And…

‘At that time, Jim thought he was losing you.’

The Emperor looked at Rakiel intently. The crown prince feels somewhat awkward at the grand triumphal ceremony. his eldest son. A being that once brought only disappointment. The blood relatives who made me sigh every day.

However, the moment I heard that my son was truly in a coma, I thought the sky was falling. From then on, I didn’t even know what kind of spirit I was in and how I moved.

When I came to my senses, I found myself running with the SS. Towards Kranos. With full force. To personally check on my son’s well-being.

Did you run like that for 10 full days? Did he finally find his son on the outskirts of Kranos? I probably have never felt so relieved as I did then.

The time when he won the competition with his brothers and ascended to the throne of emperor? Even then, I don’t think I was as happy as when I confirmed that my son was safe.

Rachiel got off the carriage with a confused look on her face. I was so happy to see my eldest son like that. Also, I felt so relieved. It felt like the collapsing sky was being filled and the soul that had fallen into the abyss was being saved.

Maybe I was about to burst into tears. It seems like I barely tolerated it. I tried to rush over and hug my son… but I think I barely held myself back. So it seems that instead of a passionate hug, they started with a series of admonitions.

What did I say at the time?

“….”

The emperor was lost in thought for a moment. Thanks to you, I was able to remember it.

‘Why did you forget the importance of your position and endanger the existence of the imperial family by recklessly acting without understanding the gravity of the matter?…’

Thinking about it, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Actually, that wasn’t what I wanted. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I’m glad you’re safe. That alone is enough. I couldn’t be happier. Jim: No, this father is thankful to you.

Actually, I wanted to say that.

‘It’s really difficult.’

I couldn’t bear the embarrassing words to come out of my mouth. Yeah, because I’ve never seen it before. It was awkward. If you think about it, it was truly a bizarre and strange thing.

‘How could it be that I treated this child so cruelly in the past?’

I looked at Rachiel again. I was always a regretful son. My fingers hurt every time. Maybe it was because of the lack of performance that did not meet expectations. It seems like he always pushed his son away.

The focus was only on the excuse to grow further. Like pushing a baby off a cliff. I hope that it will climb up on its own and become stronger. It never occurred to me that those days could actually break my son’s heart.

I finally understand a little bit about it.

From Cremo to the Amboise Civil War, this time to Kranos. It was only after repeating the experience of almost losing my son and having my heart break so many times that I finally understood a little.

What a bad father I am.

‘I will never let you… be in danger again.’

The emperor promised again and again. Meanwhile, the triumphal parade ended. They entered the imperial palace together according to the established etiquette of the imperial family. A formal report of the crown prince’s return was received while the civil and military officials watched.

After that, they again had time to chat with the crown prince according to the established etiquette. Thanks to this, the emperor was deeply grateful to his predecessors. If it weren’t for this excellent(?) etiquette, the crown prince would have returned to his villa without even looking back as soon as he finished reporting his return.

‘Because this guy always finds Jim difficult.’

In fact, it is natural.

Since she has been treating her son like a rat for so long, it is quite understandable that his son will feel burdened even breathing with him and will give up his studies. So, my son’s expression like that is his own karma. But still… I’m happy about this time.

“Are you feeling tired?”

The Emperor put down the teacup and glanced at Rachiel across from him. Rakiel certainly looked tired. It wasn’t too much of a stretch. It was a long 20-day journey from Kranos to here. Even if you ride a carriage, it’s not easy.

Moreover, as soon as they arrived at the imperial capital, they had to hold a triumphal ceremony without a break, forcing themselves to smile, wave their hands, and follow etiquette for nearly half a day. It must have been quite tiring.

Indeed, the reaction of the eldest son upon his return was also similar.

“Yes, Your Majesty. To be honest, it’s a little…”

“Tsk. “Pathetic and ugly.”

“….”

“….”

The son’s silence.

The emperor also remained silent without realizing it. He realized his mistake later and was shocked. My son’s honest answer made me start hitting him again. When I thought about it, it was a very bad habit. He cleared his throat as if nothing had happened.

“Hmm! okay. You might be tired. But you must not forget your position. No matter how tired or tired you are, you should not show it in front of others.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course. “That is the attitude a ruler should show.”

“Aren’t you tired, Your Majesty?”

“Jim… is fine.”

“Hmm, your complexion has become a little dull.”

“It is because of the harsh winds from the northwest.”

“If you just say that, you have dark circles.”

“…Keuhum!”

Koyan guy.

Who is this because of?

The emperor swallowed a bitter smile. And I reminded myself of this new promise. Not anymore. I can no longer see my son being in danger every time. Cremo Amboise to Kranos this time. We must prevent this from happening again.

So it was.

The Emperor looked at Rakiel intently. He stayed silent for a while, and when Rakiel’s shoulders became tense due to the pressure of those eyes and the atmosphere, he made a declaration as if throwing it out.

“I’ve been thinking about it recently. “It seems like your terrible hobby is the culprit of all these incidents.”

“…yes?”

“I mean the villa oriental medicine clinic.”

That’s it. It’s because of that oriental medicine clinic. Because of that, it seems like my son gets caught up in danger every time. It is certainly. So now….

“Why don’t we stop playing at the hospital like a villa and focus on the successor classes from now on?”

The emperor’s bombshell declaration, full of determination not to put his son in any more danger, was dropped.
