The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 310

Episode 310 A chronic disease of half-elves (2)

Edouard Amboise.

Half-elf male.

Age: 57 years old.

“….”

Has morning already dawned?

Edouard narrowed his eyes in an unfamiliar bed. I was tired. Because you changed your bed? No, the bed was too soft and comfortable. I just can’t get used to that comfort.

‘My whole body aches.’

He was much more accustomed to the hard and uncomfortable field bunk than the comfortable bed in the VIP room. He was already missing the harsh northern wind more than the warm and gentle summer morning air.

‘What did I do last night?’

He got up from the bed and pondered his feelings of regret. And then I remembered the mistake I made last evening. okay. I signed it. Medical treatment provided by the crown prince? On a document that says it’s a receipt or something.

‘I got caught up in a strange atmosphere.’

He frowned.

How did the crown prince know that he passed black stool almost every day? Did spies from the Magentano Empire come to the north where you are to investigate? That won’t happen.

Anyway, I was embarrassed.

It was also true that his stomach had been sore for a long time. Moreover, my niece Adeline kept giving me subtle hints. Trust the crown prince. Please sign first.

In the end, I signed as if I was possessed.

And I came to regret it.

“Dangsuk? Are you sure you want to accompany me to the negotiation table?”

It was around the time we were about to leave the VIP accommodation. While I was checking the attendants who would escort the princess at the negotiation hall, an unexpected question came from behind.

When I turned around, I saw my niece, Princess Adeline, looking at me with puzzled eyes.

“of course. “Isn’t it my duty to protect you as the representative of the Shinigami Corps?”

“But I guess not today.”

“what?”

Edouard frowned.

What is my nephew trying to say?

“Instead of going to the negotiation room with me, Dangsuk, you should go to the annex oriental medicine clinic by yourself.”

“…What?”

why?

why?

for what reason?

I didn’t understand.

But isn’t Adeline also opening her mouth as if she doesn’t understand?

“You want to ask why that should be? But you signed it yesterday, right?”

“signature? “What kind of treatment is that?”

“yes. “This is a medical treatment receipt from Byeongung Oriental Medical Clinic.”

“But what does that mean?”

“The medical appointment date written on the medical treatment receipt was this morning?”

“what?”

“Don’t you remember?”

“….”

It doesn’t come out.

To be honest, I signed it without even knowing what it was. Date of appointment? Of course, I didn’t have time to look into that. No, actually, I don’t even know why I have to go there anymore.

“But Adeline? “Don’t I have a responsibility to protect you?”

“Yes, there is.”

“Then shouldn’t I go to the negotiation table with you?”

“No, not really.”

“…why?”

“You will protect me better if Dangsuk becomes healthy, right?”

“I am healthy. Look. “How could this look belong to someone who needs to go to the hospital?”

“You’re just fine on the outside.”

“The speed is fine.”

“Probably not.”

“How do you know that?”

“Because the crown prince said so.”

“….”

Edouard closed his mouth. That’s why a completely unexpected answer came back. He looked at his nephew with suspicion.

“You can’t believe it….”

“Ah. I tried to refrain from doing this out of fear of causing misunderstanding. Dangsuk It’s not what Dansook thought it would be. “It’s not a selfish opinion.”

“then?”

“I saw the crown prince healing people. I also experienced it. Have you ever heard of it? “I heard that I came to the imperial capital before and received treatment.”

“I thought it was just a fuss from extravagant people who like to exaggerate things.”

“no. at all. “This is true without the slightest exaggeration.”

“So you’re going to believe the crown prince’s few words and send me to the villa’s oriental medicine clinic?”

“yes. “You are correct.”

“….”

His mouth closed again.

Princess Adeline spoke as if to comfort him.

“Dangsuk. I know what you’re thinking right now. You must not be trustworthy. “You probably don’t understand why I trust the crown prince so much.”

“Honestly, it is.”

It was true.

I didn’t have much trust.

Of course, he had also heard various rumors about the Crown Prince of Magentano. It is said that he takes care of sick people with a mysterious medical technique that is different from others. It was said that his skills were at an unprecedented level, so much so that even the dragon once visited the crown prince.

But Edouard was a very suspicious person. Because of his strange lineage, he grew up and lived with the attention of those around him from a young age. Thanks to this, I have become a bit of a twisted person. Naturally, he did not believe the rumors about the crown prince.

‘Rumors are bound to be inflated. Moreover, if it was a beautiful story about the crown prince and no one else… the Magentano Empire would have come forward and worked to exaggerate it further.’

That is natural.

he thought.

Moreover, looking back on last evening, it was even more so. It was said that the crown prince at the time intentionally served a meal to all of his entourage in order to check the condition of his stomach.

However, if you think about it, the crown prince did not actually examine himself at all. I just watched them eat from afar. There was no use of a stethoscope or close observation of the tongue or eyelids.

But what disease was diagnosed?

Stomach ulcer?

The problem is that the stomach acid secretion is too strong due to inheritance from elves?

‘Plausible nonsense.’

They’re trying to deceive us somehow. So, he may be trying to use a trick to separate himself from his niece, the princess, who is the object of his guard. He must be trying to use the princess’s trust for that trick. When I thought about it, I found it even more shameful.

“Adeline? No matter how much you say that… I just can’t do it. A villa oriental medicine clinic. I can’t believe I won’t be able to escort you to a place like that. “Isn’t that ridiculous?”

“no. can.”

“….”

“First, let’s listen to my advice and get healthy. Besides, the other escorts will accompany me, so you don’t have to worry.”

“But here…!”

“It’s the imperial capital. of the Magentano Empire. An ally of our kingdom.”

“….”

“yes. Still, if you still don’t agree, there’s nothing we can do. I really didn’t want to have to do this. Tangsuk? “This is an order given not as the niece of Tang Suk, but as the princess who is the representative of the Amboise envoys and first in line to succeed to the throne.”

“Do you really have to do this…?”

“yes. go. “To the annex oriental medicine clinic.”

“…i get it.”

There was even an order.

In the end, he nodded.

And he had no choice but to look in shock at the princess and her guards leaving for the negotiation hall, abandoning him(?). The walk to the annex oriental medicine clinic was equally as bewildering.

Trudging….

Hyeonta comes in proportion to the brightness of the morning sunlight!

‘Nephew, how much I cared for you…’

But to be treated like this. You’re preventing me from carrying out my glorious mission. A patient was taken to an oriental medicine clinic in a villa that was not even in the palace.

‘What happened to me?’

Did I come to a place like this?

He raised his head in lamentation. The imperial palace has now become closer. I saw guards soldiers standing at the front gate. Moderation and dignity? there was. Formality and solemnity? Of course there was. A friendly smile and a guiding spirit? There was even that.

“Are you the person who visited the Byeonggung Oriental Medical Clinic?”

“….”

Édouard was momentarily speechless at the question of the guard who came with a friendly smile. Isn’t it normal for a guard who guards a palace to have a strict attitude of ‘Please reveal your identity and purpose of visit’? I wanted to.

But the guards here were different.

In addition to himself, he welcomed and guided many people who came to the villa. Most of the visitors were commoners. Still, he didn’t frown even once. Or rather, they even looked cautious, as if greeting a nobleman.

‘why?’

They let so many commoners into the villa so loosely just because they were visiting patients? really? So what about the prince’s safety? What about escort?

‘Are you saying you don’t care?’

I didn’t understand it at first.

What would happen if one of those commoners had dark intentions and tried to assassinate the crown prince? Are there any measures in place to deal with such factors? No matter how I looked at it, it seemed so complacent and defenseless.

But Edouard’s thoughts were shattered within five minutes. It started when he faced the nurse who guided him.

‘…strong!’

She was just a small, ordinary-looking nurse. But the moment we met, all the hair on my body stood on end. It was an instinctive reaction that only occurred when encountering a strong person comparable to oneself.

‘Could it be… that movement and body odor… a werewolf?’

Werewolf is a nurse? Are they perhaps special security forces disguised as nurses?

I thought so at first.

But it wasn’t like that.

“Please come this way, patient.”

All the nurses I encountered while walking down the palace hallway were werewolves!

“….”

Just gathering those nurses would be enough to tear apart a fairly elite unit. It’s not a joke. It’s real without any exaggeration.

But his surprise parade was only just beginning.

“Oh, patient? “Please don’t step on the grass on the side of the road.”

“hmm? “Why?”

“It’s breakfast for Lord Urus.”

“breakfast?”

…This kind of solution?

That was the moment I thought.

“Nuuuuuu-!”

“…!”

A thunderous roar sounded nearby. It was a ferocious roar that could echo deep in any dungeon. Edouard looked back, his whole body tensing like lightning. And I was able to find the Minotaur spreading out across the grass and chewing his cud.

“Judging by the roar, Sir Urus seems to be in a good mood. Let’s go now. “The director’s office is over there.”

“….”

“Oh, and as a warning in advance, even if you are hospitalized, you should never enter the western garden area you see over there.”

“Is this a classified area?”

“no. “Because this is where the dragon patient was hospitalized.”

“….”

What on earth is this place?

What is this place doing?

Is this a place that treats people? It’s not. I don’t think it’s cancer just looking at it. Isn’t it actually just a place to prepare for the conquest of the continent? That’s why they’re secretly gathering a huge army. Oh, now that I think about it, it doesn’t seem like they’re keeping it a secret at all.

So… it’s a bit scarier.

As he crossed the annexed Oriental Medicine Clinic toward the director’s office, misunderstandings and doubts grew in Edouard’s heart. When he finally arrived at the director’s office, he even had a solemn expression on his face.

Before I knew it, I was facing the director’s office door. The ordinary, tightly closed door now felt like the entrance to a magic cave.

Knock knock!

“Director? “The reserved patient has arrived.”

“Oh already? Oh my… the patient in front of me is still being treated…”

“Should I ask you to wait?”

“Um no. “It’s almost finished, so come in early.”

“All right.”

The crown prince’s calm voice came from inside. A nurse talking to him. The content of the conversation was ordinary. But don’t be fooled, Edouard thought.

‘The crown prince… he’s definitely someone with something.’

Maybe he has a huge and dangerous plan. Let’s not let down our guard. Let’s not get caught up. Let’s make sure to find out the real reason that brought us here today.

Squeak…

While Edouard was taking a deep breath, the door to the director’s office opened. The scene inside was revealed. At that moment, Edouard lost all of the solemn resolve he had held up until now.

‘What… is that…’

The true nature of the director’s office is finally revealed.

The first thing I saw was a middle-aged man lying on the bed with his shirt off. But… there were large thorns stuck all over the man’s body. There are probably dozens of them. Without hesitation. Cruel and terrible.

At that time, the crown prince looked back.

“Welcome. “Then please wait a moment.”

The crown prince’s face smiles brighter than ever. That kind smile seemed to say this.

Next is your turn.

“….”

Mom, please save me.

Edouard, the brave general who commanded the harsh border north of Amboise, muttered weakly without even realizing it.
