The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 415
Episode 415 Seong Dong said (2),
“I had no idea that the crown prince would change the atmosphere of the square in such a way.”
Huh.
The candles on the table were lit by the servant’s touch. A pattern of waving shadows cast by small lights was engraved on the wall. Looking at that, Rakiel shrugged his shoulders.
“It was nothing.”
“Is that so.”
Breda, the mayor of Tenion City, looked at the Crown Prince across the table. Then, I suddenly remembered the events of the day earlier.
It was around the time when work in the morning was about to start. A cavalryman rushed over and reported. What are the priests doing? They say they are tying women to the stake prepared in the square.
At first I wondered what was going on. I was also annoyed inside. Even so, he was busy. There were so many things to prepare to carry out the prince’s plan on the day the tabernacle was taken down. Thanks to this, I was completely out of my wits, so there was no way I would be happy about the sudden commotion.
However, at the report that followed, he felt shock and anger running down his head. It seems that the women hung at the stake were the wives of cavalrymen lying in the prayer area. It seems that the priests who were dissatisfied with the fact that the cavalrymen were being treated by the crown prince, who was a non-believer, were trying to do something.
As soon as I heard that, I ran to the square.
And I witnessed it.
The crown prince, who had arrived at the square one step ahead of him, appeared to be arguing with the vice-governor.
‘At that time, I wondered if I should step forward…’
Honestly, I thought I should.
At the same time, it was burdensome.
This was because the opponent was a priest.
“….”
In fact, deep down, he did not believe in God. Living a life of prayer under God’s faith and grace. They did not consider it to be a believer’s duty, reward, joy, or happiness.
Strictly speaking, I have lived my life only pretending to believe in God. Because this country is a place where you can live. That way I wouldn’t get into political trouble, so I just did that.
That’s why I’ve never really had any faith in gods. It never occurred to me that they were truly divine beings who conveyed the word of God. It was simply seen as a political partner and potential obstacle.
If they are the ones who control the material aspects of this city, then these priests are the ones who control the mental and spiritual parts of the citizens. So, everything will work out well if you get along with the priests as little as possible.
I just thought of it that way and lived in circles.
But today was different.
“They touched the family of one of my cavalry officers. In fact, it was a situation where I had to get angry and protest.”
“But I was fast.”
“yes. “It is exactly as the crown prince said.”
It was like that.
The crown prince moved without him having time to do anything. He snatched the assistant director’s whip, hit the assistant director’s face with the whip, and even trampled it!
I don’t know how surprised I was at the time.
I was also worried.
I wonder how the citizens will react and whether the remaining priests will remain silent or whether an uncontrollable catastrophe will occur. So, until the tabernacle is taken down, we won’t even be able to prepare for battle, let alone prepare for an operation.
I had all sorts of worries, but…
“All the worries I had were unfounded.”
I had no idea that they would turn the situation around by accusing the Vice Minister of being a spy who was in cahoots with the enemy. It was shameless. It was quite shameless. But that shamelessness worked!
“It was unexpected. “How on earth did you come up with that idea?”
the mayor asked, holding up his fork.
Rakiel shrugged his shoulders as he cut the meat.
“I just did it.”
“You mean just…?”
“It’s literally just that. It came to mind for a moment. “As I considered the situation at the time, the surrounding atmosphere, the expected reactions in the future, etc., I automatically thought, “Yes, well.”
It was true.
It just occurred to me. And committed. As a result, the impromptu trick worked, and the Deputy Director was imprisoned in the basement of the prayer center on suspicion of being a spy, and the daytime burning attempt itself was largely dismissed as an arbitrary act of the Deputy Director.
Rachiel said.
“Thanks to this, even Director Shin, who is a strict principled person, now spoke publicly and said that he tolerated my treatment at the prayer center. “Well, I guess I thought that if I kept pushing forward, I would end up in the same boat as the assistant kidney director.”
“Maybe so.”
Mayor Breda was secretly impressed.
New director.
He was an opponent that he could hardly control. It was natural. Basically, his status was the same as that of the mayor himself. Moreover, because he was such a strict doctrinalist, proper conversation was not possible.
However, in less than a month, the crown prince brought even the new director to his knees. When I think about it, it was horrifying.
‘Perhaps if someone with this kind of ability becomes the emperor of Magentano…’
Wouldn’t our Harmion’s future become that much darker? On the one hand, I felt scared. But now is not the time to think about the distant future. The mayor inwardly shook his head.
It was then.
Rakiel’s insinuating question sent a chill down the mayor’s spine again.
“Anyway, Mayor? Are the preparations for the operation going well?”
“…yes?”
“uh? “Why did you think I had to have dinner with the not-so-pretty mayor?”
“….”
“You probably didn’t think I was here to share stories about today’s daytime events, right?”
“Oh, that’s…”
“Hmm? “I see you don’t get an answer right away. What do you think?”
“no. Preparations are going smoothly.”
“Can you be specific?”
“Oh, that’s…”
“Would you like to proceed with the report by dividing it by item?”
“No, that’s…”
“Don’t gloss over it.”
“First of all, we have almost completed the construction of the road to lure him in, from the gate to be opened to the entrance to the tin mine.”
“Hmm, good. “Then what about the expansion of the mine shaft?”
“Of course…”
The mayor was sweating profusely while answering the sudden barrage of questions. He suddenly thought. Why do I have to sweat so much right now? Why is he putting so much effort into answering a question from someone who is nothing more than a member of the royal family of a neighboring country, rather than the crown prince?
I couldn’t figure it out myself.
Meanwhile, answers continued to flow out of my mouth. That made it even more bizarre and puzzling, and at the same time gave me goosebumps again.
Perhaps it was a feeling of regret that came from discovering what he thought would be the ideal monarch, only to realize that that monarch was a member of the royal family of a neighboring country.
?
Whiuuuu…!
The cold wind at the border here is particularly chilling. It doesn’t seem that cold, but it secretly makes the body of the person hit shiver.
Of course, it still is.
“Ugh… That’s right…”
An ambitious man from Amboise who once aimed for the throne.
But now the royal family has fallen.
Javilon Flambert Amboise trembled like an aspen and hunched his shoulders. It was cold. A chill came over me. I got goosebumps. The more I did this, the tighter the collar became.
But it wasn’t enough.
No matter how thick a coat you wrap yourself in. Even if you activate the infinite circulation of mana that only a sword master can achieve. Nevertheless, for no reason, cold sweat continued to flow out. At the same time, I felt nauseous and felt unnatural dizziness from time to time.
‘why…?’
Did he reach this ridiculous point? Could it be a terrible cold? no. That’s impossible. There is no reason for your strong body to suffer like this from a mere cold.
If so, I can guess one thing.
‘Because of that?’
Javilon cast his blurred gaze into the distance. rampart. I saw a city. It was a city wrapped in a hazy film of unknown origin.
When I saw that, an idea occurred to me.
okay.
There’s Surgeon Lee Han in there. I came all the way here, following him. Then, I even saw Army Doctor Lee Han and his party being chased while fighting with an enormous monster.
“….”
Are my symptoms caused by that monster?
A strange appearance, as if the bone dragon had been reduced to 1/10. A being that without hesitation causes nearby bushes to dry out and die.
Actually, I have tried to approach that monster. It was the night of the day when Army Surgeon Lee Han and his party hid inside the city walls, and a hazy curtain surrounded the walls, blocking all access from the outside.
I became interested in a strange monster that resembled a bone dragon. I also got a glimpse of what might be possible. The hope was that taming that monster might help capture Army Doctor Lee Han.
So I approached it.
And then I gave up.
Was it the moment we reached a distance of about 300 meters? A sudden and eerie sensation came over me. To live? no. The idea of living was nothing more than luxury and cuteness. It was a much sharper, more destructive, and ominous energy than any other eerie prediction he had experienced in his life.
So he hurriedly retreated.
It was from that day.
I kept a long distance away from the monster and waited for an opportunity.
‘Surgeon Lee Han….’
If you wait, your chance will come. The hazy curtain surrounding the city will someday be lifted. Whether it is for food, drinking water, or other supplies, a blockade for more than three months at most would be impossible.
The day that curtain lifts, an opportunity will arise. The moment a monster invades the city and the city falls into chaos, you will have an opportunity to approach Army Doctor Rihan.
I thought…
“I… How did I… Cool look! cook!”
It was a few days ago. Suddenly, my body started to feel strange. I felt tired and a little sick for no reason. Finally, this morning, I started to have a high fever. The objects in front of me appeared to be two or three overlapping. I couldn’t get my weak body up.
I didn’t understand.
I didn’t do anything myself. I was just waiting for my time in the corner of this field. I was much more rested than when I followed Army Surgeon Rihan from the Imperial Capital to the border and into Harmion’s territory. At least I didn’t fight or get injured.
But why did it become such a joke?
“Cough! Cool look! “I am… ugh…!”
You have to wake up.
I need to have Dr. Lee Han by my side again. I need to treat my headaches for the rest of my life. After that, you must return to Amboise again, break the bones of the abominable king and princess, and usurp the throne. That’s how it should be. That’s how it should be… But…
“…Kueook!”
I couldn’t help but cough and my stomach turned. I vomited something out of my mind. After vomiting, I saw that my face and hands were stained black. blood. It was black dead blood.
“ha ha ha.”
What the hell.
Javilon just laughed with a bewildered look in his eyes. And before I knew it, I collapsed. Slurp. Like being buried in nameless reeds and bushes. Helplessly, as if this place were his tomb.
‘crazy.’
I didn’t live this long to end up like this.
Javilon opened his eyes wide with a feeling of injustice. I tried to get up. But it wasn’t enough. Getting up after falling down felt even more difficult than the time I tried to capture Army Doctor Lee Han.
It was unfair.
I was afraid.
I didn’t want it to end like this.
Tears welled up without me knowing.
It was that moment.
“Nuuuu…?”
“Kkukkya?”
A huge shadow that looked like a Minotaur covered him, accompanied by a strange cry that I had never heard before.
