The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 266

Episode 266 Pleural Tweezers (1)

Torture is scary.

It is inhumane and against ethics.

That’s why it’s really, really scary sometimes. This is especially true when it gives the impression that the torturer is not hesitant to cross the line.

Like right now.

“Ego. Are you thirsty? Drink a lot. Aqua?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“This person’s throat is sore.”

Rachiel leaned against the back of the chair and crossed her legs. At his words, Sir Gardin, called ‘Aqua’, quietly lifted the water bucket. And then I gently opened the water bottle cap.

That was all.

I just opened the water bottle, but the vampire sitting across from Rachiel began to react angrily.

“…town? Huh? town!”

As soon as the lid of the water tank was opened, the vampire could feel it immediately. There is an ominous smell coming from the water tank. It’s a familiar, but dangerous smell that I never want to smell. This acrid stimulus. This feeling makes you feel like you’re going to grab your senses and soul and start delivering hell with a 160km/h four-seam fastball!

‘It’s garlic, it’s garlic!’

It was certain.

That bucket contains garlic juice. The smell was so thick that you could smell it with the pores of your toes rather than your nostrils, which aroused a renewed sense of crisis.

“Eup! Ugh! town!”

I wanted to run away.

I wanted to scream.

I was tied up and struggling with my whole body.

The crown prince, who saw this side of him, made an expression of regret.

“uh? this. Look at my mind. “I should have removed the gag first so I could drink water.”

“town! Ugh! town!”

“I wasn’t considerate enough, right? sorry?”

“…Phew!”

“Ugh. You can breathe easier now, right? Drinking water will also become easier.”

“Sigh?”

“Open your mouth.”

“town!”

“Spread it wide.”

“…Geek.”

“Oh, you’re so kind. Drink well. “One shot.”

“…Knock it!”

Garlic juice flowed into the vampire’s forcibly opened mouth. The amount wasn’t particularly large. If you drink too much, you will get an upset stomach. Just enough not to do that.

“how is it? “Are you feeling cool?”

“Knock knock…knock knock!”

“Oh my. Did you hear the sound? “Eat it a little more slowly.”

“Why are you crying to me…?”

“Why? It’s for convenience. Now, let’s go to the next course. Flame?”

Rakiel, who had forced the vampire to experience tasting(?) garlic juice, smiled brightly and turned her head. Where his gaze was directed, there was Damian, called ‘Flame’.

“Ego. Now that you have soaked your body with moisture, let’s get a tan for a healthy body.”

I gave a signal to Damian. Damien walked to the window and pulled back the curtains. Suddenly, warm and intense sunlight poured into the room. Thanks to this, the vampire had to frown.

“…Ugh!”

“Oh, I’m sorry. “Did your eyes pop a little suddenly?”

“Geueueueueueueueueuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu be be the the ssongs!”

“It’s warm, right? Are you happy? As it turns out, moderate sunbathing is really good for our bodies. Vitamin D synthesis also increases. Thanks to this, osteoporosis can be prevented. Immunity also increases. “In addition, the secretion of serotonin hormone is activated, which helps fight insomnia and depression.”

“Huh huh.”

“Hmm, but I guess there’s no harm in this amount of sunlight? “I guess the reaction isn’t as enthusiastic as I thought?”

Rachiel’s smile became subtle.

The vampire glared at him with vengeful eyes. A cruel human bastard who pulled out his own fangs. Moreover, he does not hesitate to carry out this kind of torture.

‘But… I was wrong this time. Did you know that I would suffer from this ordinary sunlight?’

I laughed inwardly. It was true. No matter how much a vampire is, if he or she is healthy, ordinary sunlight will not catch fire or cause any harm to his or her life. However, it just stings and the ability is greatly reduced, making it uncomfortable.

To be threatened by this much sunlight?

Only very emaciated or newly born weak individuals are at risk.

‘So I don’t know what you’re trying to get from me, but these petty tactics won’t work!’

… was the moment the vampire thought.

Sigh.

Rachiel received something from Damian. Small handle. Above it is a round border. There is thick glass inside the frame…

‘Magnifying glass?’

Why is that coming out now?

The vampire’s eyes widened.

The corner of Rakiel’s mouth tugged gently at his ear.

“You are going into intensive care.”

Chi profit.

“…!”

“Oh my. “There is a king here.”

Cheeeeeek!

“…!”

Now the vampire has begun to enjoy the threat of life in earnest.

Of course, that didn’t mean Rakiel cruelly scolded just one point with a magnifying glass. Rather, I moved the magnifying glass quickly to avoid getting burned. Because that alone was effective(?) enough.

“…Goooooook!”

“Hey. “Is it that good?”

“Gyaaaaayal!”

I’d rather kill you, you crazy bastard!

The vampire could only scream in pain without words. But what was scarier was that the crown prince still did not ask any questions or reveal his purpose.

In other words, even though I was being tortured, I couldn’t figure out why I was being tortured!

‘why?’

If I were asked a question, I would do anything, whether it be an answer or a refusal. It was different now. I felt like an ant thrown into the hands of a child. That made me even more horribly anxious. I was at a loss as to how long I would have to endure this.

Of course, Rachiel had a purpose. The sadistic goal of simply inflicting pain? Of course not.

‘It changes. The flow of energy and blood to his brain is changing. As expected….’

Garlic and sunlight are effective.

Rachiel observed the vampire’s body trembling in pain. The acupuncture point scanning option was turned on from the beginning.

Thanks to this, I was able to see it in detail.

It was clearly visible that the flow of energy and blood that had been condensed in one part of the vampire’s brain was gradually being released by stimulation. At the same time, the blood in the vampire’s eyes slowly disappeared.

‘That lump of blood and energy and red eyes. I said it was all due to brainwashing.’

Suddenly, I remembered a story I heard from the archbishop a few days ago. It was said that vampires originally prefer independent action, but sometimes they move in groups of dozens.

At the same time, what he said was…

‘In cases where people work together like that, there is usually a strong higher-up who directs them. Also, in such cases, lower-ranking vampires under command are often placed in a state of brainwashing and mental control.’

He said…

It exactly matched this case.

Naturally, I assumed that these people were also being brainwashed and mentally controlled by a higher being. Therefore, from the time the canine teeth were extracted, Qi and blood were observed through acupuncture point scanning. Indeed, a lump of blood and energy twisted and condensed inside the brain was visible.

‘I knew it. ‘Seeing how it dissolves in garlic and sunlight, it appears to be a lump formed due to brainwashing.’

When I saw it in person, I was convinced. So in reality, this is treatment, not torture. Brainwashing treatment, so to speak.

‘First of all, you have to get rid of the brainwashing before you can hear the correct information.’

For example, things like the identity of the higher being that controlled them.

Rakiel smiled even more kindly.

And then he picked up a thorn.

“Now, for the next course, let’s get a herbal acupuncture treatment using garlic juice and let’s all become healthier.”

“….”

Please stop, you crazy person.

The vampire wanted to cry.

?

The effectiveness of brainwashing treatment under the pretense of torture was clear.

Rakiel continued to harass the vampires for several days… but treated them instead. Thanks to this, the accumulated energy and blood from brainwashing was released day by day. The vampires’ attitude also became more compliant.

“I’ll tell you anything, so please stop now!”

“I’ll tell you everything! “I’ll tell you everything!”

“I’m actually single from birth!”

“Actually, if you take off those shoes, you won’t be 180 cm taller!”

“It was a lie that my skin was white and pale because I was a vampire! “That was all just sunscreen on!”

As the brainwashing wore off, various confessions followed. If left as is, he was going to reveal not only his underwear size but also stories about his first love as a child.

However, surprisingly, the vampires did not talk about the higher beings who controlled them. No, to be precise, I couldn’t say it.

“…Yeah? “The one who was controlling me?”

“Oh, that’s…”

“That’s a good name… I’m thinking…”

“Oh, my head suddenly feels dizzy!”

Whenever I was asked who was behind controlling you, my eyes became glassy. His expression became as if he had lost his mind. Was it intentional? It wasn’t. It could be identified through the flow of Qi and blood observed through acupoint scanning.

‘There’s a ban on it.’

Wrinkles appeared between Rakiel’s eyebrows. Those who were fine when giving other answers seemed to have their brain energy and blood flow slowing down when asked about the background. Perhaps there was a stronger prohibition that went beyond general brainwashing.

But Rachiel didn’t care. That’s enough. That reaction alone was enough to grasp and deduce everything there was to know.

“…That is why I have requested an audience with Your Majesty.”

After reaching a conclusion, Rachiel went to see Emperor Burinake. And as soon as he paid his respects, he reported (?) what he had deduced to the emperor.

“Does this mean that you have discovered the fundamental reason behind the vampire mutation that has been spreading throughout the ecliptic recently?”

“That is so, Your Majesty.”

Rachiel bowed his head and answered.

“I believe Your Majesty was probably aware of the existence of the mutation disease that has been afflicting the citizens of the Imperial Capital recently and the treatment process I performed.”

“It did. Also, you have captured and harassed many vampires.”

“Did you know that too?”

“of course.”

The emperor nodded.

And then he asked as if testing.

“Why don’t you ask me if I do it? “Are you saying that the person behind the mutation you inferred was a higher-ranking vampire?”

“No, Your Majesty.”

“…what?”

The emperor paused.

Rachiel continued.

“I deduced that the person behind the mutation is not just a high-ranking vampire, but a human wizard who uses black magic.”

“Warlock?”

“That is so, Your Majesty. In addition, the warlock may have intentionally spread mutagenesis, brought about great confusion in the imperial capital, and planned to make an achievement by appearing in a pretentious manner as if he had nothing to do with the situation.”

“…In other words, he was planning to treat the mutation he had spread and make a social contribution in a condescending manner, just like giving medicine to a disease?”

“That is exactly so, Your Majesty.”

“Even though it is just speculation, it is truly a shameless intention. “If so, what benefit will the warlock gain as a result?”

“It must have been quite a lot. So from now on, I will summarize it and tell you.”

It was from then on.

Rakiel opened his mouth, summarizing his guesses. If Anansha, the warlock who planned this incident, were here, the details were so accurate that I would have shaken off the goosebumps that had appeared on my forearms without realizing it.

Hearing that, the Emperor also suddenly thought.

In order to reach a similar conclusion to what the crown prince said… the imperial intelligence department had to work hard with dozens of people until last night to gather information and hold repeated meetings.
