The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 316

Episode 316 Effects of first pairing (1)

Your eyesight becomes stuffy.

A sigh escapes me.

‘ha.’

Princess Adeline of Amboise bit her lower lip without realizing it. And I looked around the empty conference room. The negotiating table where a bloodless war had been waged with the Emperor just moments ago. Documents were scattered everywhere like the bodies of fallen soldiers.

I’m exhausted.

It was because of the emperor.

‘Why are you acting like that all of a sudden these days?’

The princess felt embarrassed. Recently, the emperor’s negotiating attitude suddenly changed. In a bad way. He sharpened his knife and acted harshly, as if he was going to eat this guy. As soon as I heard it, I started to make such huge demands that I couldn’t breathe and my prayers were blocked.

‘…It wasn’t like that at first.’

It wasn’t like this until the first few days of negotiations. Of course, since this negotiation was in the nature of compensating for Javilon’s rampage, this side was at an extremely disadvantage. Nevertheless, the emperor’s attitude was friendly. I felt fortunate about that.

But not anymore.

‘The amount of compensation is not the problem. ‘To demand unilateral adjustment of trade tariffs and exclusive management authority over border gates… isn’t this too much?’

It went far beyond the scope of normal compensation. It was almost like a humiliating diplomacy or a unilateral coercion that would have been used when losing a war.

He himself protested this to the emperor. It’s not reasonable. It is an excessive demand that shakes the friendly relationship between the two countries.

But the seeds didn’t work either.

Rather, he only received a more stern expression and gaze from the emperor.

‘Did we… make some big mistake?’

No, there isn’t one.

No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t exist.

Neither he nor the negotiating team said or did anything that might offend or offend the Emperor. But why does their attitude suddenly change so drastically and they sharpen their knives as if they are going to eat me?

I didn’t understand.

A sigh flowed out again. In addition, a strange sympathy and respect for the crown prince of the empire began to bloom.

‘The crown prince… it turns out that he is a much greater person than I thought.’

Why not?

Didn’t he have to live with such a strict, difficult, and unpredictable emperor day after day? I’m exhausted and out of breath just from being at the negotiation table for a few days. The crown prince spent his whole life having a man like that as his father…

“Whew.”

amazing.

It’s truly amazing.

I don’t know who it will be, but I thought that the woman who would marry the crown prince in the future would be really amazing(?).

‘Because you will have to treat an emperor like that as your father-in-law.’

It’s so amazing and pitiful.

I really don’t know who it will be.

“….”

The princess was lost in thought for a moment. What woke her up was the voice of an attendant that came a moment later.

“Princess, a message has arrived from the Emperor’s side. “The news is that the next meeting will be rescheduled for tomorrow.”

“tomorrow? “Why don’t we resume in an hour?”

“Yes, princess.”

“…Phew, okay. Well then, let’s go back to the dorm for today. Take care of your meeting materials. “You guys did a good job too.”

“All right. But… princess? Are you planning on stopping by today as well?”

“Villa Oriental Medicine Clinic?”

“That’s right.”

The princess smiled faintly at the attendant’s question.

“Of course I should go. “My daughter-in-law is hospitalized.”

It is true.

Edouard, the chief of staff and general. This is the villa where he was hospitalized for a long period of time. Wouldn’t it be natural for Hani, as Hani’s nephew and the leader of his entourage, to go to the villa’s oriental medicine clinic for a visit?

“You may be experiencing being hospitalized for the first time. “And that too in an unfamiliar country.”

As expected, it is like that.

How painful and lonely it must be.

“Then shall we leave?”

To see the crown prince… no, to visit Tang Sook. Princess Adeline leaves the conference hall that seemed like a battlefield and heads to the villa. Her steps somehow became lighter.

?

Ding dong!

[A number of spirits capable of connection have been detected at close range.]

[One of the detected spirits has accepted the connection.]

[Pairing with the ‘Spirit of Capsaicin’ has begun.]

‘Huh?’

Rachiel’s head tilts.

He was trying to give General Édouard one shot of the decoction he had just prepared by sending it directly from the place of origin (?), but he stopped. And then I looked at the message that filled my eyes.

That’s why the content was so surprising.

‘what. They just say that multiple spirits have been detected every day and it ends?’

Today was different.

A follow-up(?) message was floating in the air!

‘Pairing with a spirit? The spirit of capsaicin?’

Is this… a true story?

Sim Bongsa’s eyes opened brightly. First of all, the strangeness of the spirit’s name being Capsaicin was irrelevant. It’s a spirit. He finally gave himself permission to connect. That’s important.

‘Whether it’s capsaicin or uranium, it’s just a spirit!’

The first time with anything is difficult.

That’s the case when breaking into business partners. This is the case when you break your opponent’s first tower first in an LxL game. The same thing happens when you confess to the person you were dating.

The most difficult first start.

What if you get through it safely?

From then on, it gets easier.

Communication with spirits was also considered to be the same.

‘The fact that one person has responded means that the accumulated dislike towards me has disappeared, right? Then… in the future, other spirits will also accept me one by one, right?’

Just thinking about it made my 2nd atrium and 2nd ventricle twerk with excitement.

But who said that?

Nothing in this world comes easy. If you get excited carelessly, it’s a good idea to get stabbed in the back. As if to prove it, the corners of Rachiel’s mouth were about to curl up. Unexpected difficulties filled my eyes.

Ding dong dong!

[Pairing with the spirit of capsaicin has been completed.]

[To begin full-scale communication with the spirit, you must obtain security qualifications.]

[Please enter the password to begin communication with the spirit.]

‘….’

Off duty?

This is not some kind of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection. I became embarrassed. He asked himself unconsciously.

‘What kind of endless password is this? ‘How do I know that?’

Ding dong!

[Don’t remember your password?]

[Would you like to select the password recovery menu?]

[YES / NO]

‘Of course yes!’

First of all, I have a rope to hang on to. Rakiel quickly shouted yes. Then, the next message that comes to mind is….

[The password hint is provided as a multiple-choice riddle.]

[Q: What is the good animal in history that did not harm anyone who ate red pepper powder?]

[1. Lion]

[2. Wolf]

[3. Crocodile]

[4. Shark]

[5. Tyrannosaurus Rex]

‘…Number 5! Tyrannosaurus Rex!’

As soon as I saw it, I quickly responded. Even as I answered, I wondered if this was right. Fortunately(?) the response came right away.

Ding dong dang ?

[Password input completed]

[Communication with the spirit of capsaicin begins.]

…Saaaaa!

A soft sound, like a curtain opening, sounded from somewhere. Soon, change began. A red-colored something began to quietly appear in the air, where there was nothing until a moment ago.

A somewhat familiar silhouette.

Rachiel recognized it as soon as she saw it.

‘Red…cheongyang pepper?’

– yep!

The spirit of red pepper, or capsaicin, nodded at the top of the pepper instead of its head. And added politely:

– Nice to meet you? I am the spirit of capsaicin, friend of all the spicy flavors in the world and guardian of the Scoville scale. Did you start your day strong this morning with a spicy taste that just flew off your tongue?

‘uh? huh?’

– Capsaicin activates the sympathetic nerves and promotes sweat gland secretion along with an increase in body temperature. Adrenaline? Endorphins? Sure! Eating me makes you happy. My stomach feels warm. Instead, what if you eat too much and get digestive inflammation? Decreased cancer-fighting immune cell function? are you okay. You only live once anyway!

‘Uh um…’

– …but I don’t want someone close to me to be in that much pain. That’s why I continued to communicate with you despite the other spirits’ dissuasion?

‘what?’

Rachiel frowned.

At first, I thought it was some kind of crazy spirit. But after listening, I realized that wasn’t the case. I felt a meaningful clue in what the capsaicin spirit had just said.

‘You don’t want someone close to you to be sick? if?’

– yes. This is General Edouard.

‘also.’

Is that right?

Raquiel asked,

‘It is true that General Edouard suffers from stomach inflammation and ulcers. You understand, right? But the reason why you appear in front of me now and say something like this… Could it be that you came to tell me that there is a cause or treatment for the disease that I missed?’

– you’re right.

The spirit nodded. And then he started telling me something I had never thought of.

– You have put a lot of effort into treating our old friend Edouard. But did you know that the general was inhaling red pepper powder without your knowledge?

‘what?’

– It’s true. Edouard likes and enjoys spicy food. I especially like red pepper powder. And in a very unusual way.

‘What if it’s a unique method…?’

– One shot of red pepper powder mixed in strong alcohol.

‘….’

What is this?

Rachiel was speechless. The moment I heard it, the image of old men mixing red pepper powder into soju and making one shot came to mind. There are very rare people like that. No, I have actually met him. This was the case for an elderly patient who visited his oriental medicine clinic because of a serious stomach ulcer.

stopped.

You should never do that. That’s the best shortcut to ruining your stomach. Still, he didn’t listen at all. They say that if you don’t add red pepper powder, soju won’t taste good or something.

‘And he eventually passed away.’

I don’t listen to anything that dissuades me.

Even if you tell them to go to a big hospital, they won’t listen.

The patient, an old man who had been stubbornly insisting that he could just get some acupuncture and lie down for a while, ended up vomiting blood at home one day and being taken to 119, never to return.

But now…

‘This human, or half-elf, had such drinking habits?’

Rachiel looked at the general with new eyes. Did you feel those eyes on you? The general, who was taking the medicine on the hospital bed, shrugged his shoulders.

“Why are you looking at me like that, Crown Prince of the Empire?”

“….”

Rachiel did not answer. Instead, I asked the spirit of capsaicin.

‘But the general hasn’t drank since he was hospitalized here?’

– that’s right. But did you drink water instead?

‘What you mean is… that you mixed red pepper powder in water and drank it instead of alcohol? While I can’t see? stealthily?’

– That is correct.

“….”

Now I understand.

Why has the decoction’s medicinal properties (?) not been as effective as expected? Why was the general’s recovery slower than expected? And the reason why the capsaicin spirit started communicating with us out of nowhere.

‘Are you trying to save the general by telling him about it… or telling him about it?’

– Because we are friends.

‘okay. i get it.’

Rachiel looked away from the spirit. Then he looked at the general with a strange look and said,

“Patient? Mr. Edouard?”

“…yes?”

Did he sense that this person’s tone of voice was unusual? The general was a little nervous. But it doesn’t matter. That’s because I made up my voice to say that.

“You know?”

“yes?”

“The one I hid from you.”

“Yes?”

“Write it. Why are you like this? Red pepper powder confiscated.”

“…!”

Albo-Seven The general’s eyes widen as if he had been hit by a well-placed bullet!

But it was pointless.

“anise!”

shouted.

As soon as I was called, Anise and the werewolf head nurses rushed into the hospital room. There was a brief commotion. All of the red pepper powder that the general had carefully hidden away was stolen.

And ten days have passed.

When I stopped eating red pepper powder, the medicinal properties of the decoction given to the general began to come back to life. Of course, the feeling of happiness disappeared from the general’s expression. It felt like my taste buds and soul were being robbed day by day by the bland hospital meals.

So it was.

“Isn’t this that tasty? Are you feeling unfair? Then, I will eat hospital food as well.”

Rachiel readily participated in the general’s hospital-style penance(?). Of course, even for someone with Korean tastes, hospital food was boring.

But it didn’t matter.

Because it’s a path for patients. Especially since it is an opportunity to treat someone whose lifespan is several times longer than that of an average human and receive a heap of bonus lifespan.

‘You can never miss it!’

We gritted our teeth and ate hospital food together. Was it because of that appearance? Was it because I was moved? At some point, the general’s complaints about side dishes(?) disappeared.

The efficacy of the drug improved. The effect of the hour hand was also similar. No, their resilience on a different level from that of ordinary humans began to show its true value.

More than 15 days have passed.

And finally.

Ding dong!

[You successfully treated the patient: Édouard Amboise by using an appropriate diet and herbal medicine. His stomach ulcers and Helicobacter pylori bacteria have disappeared. In the future, if he effectively suppresses the action of stomach acid through a low-irritant diet and consistent use of decoctions, he will enjoy a healthy life with a strong stomach, unlike other half-elves. ]

[The medical billing (Lv.2) skill is activated.]

“….”

It finally came.

Bonus Life Fevertime.
