The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 508
Episode 508 Leaves that do not freeze (1)
The morning has dawned.
“….”
Damian Cayenne raised his head, a little dazed. And I thought. Is it today? Yes. It’s today. So, I need to get ready. Because you can’t be late. Because you can’t miss it. Because this is really important.
“Then, please take care of me during the morning.”
“Don’t worry and go.”
He temporarily entrusted his duties to Sergio, the oldest member of the Special Forces. The closest escort to the Crown Prince. Even if it’s just for a little while, I feel reassured that I can trust Sergio and the rest of my Special Forces colleagues.
In that way, Damian felt relieved for a moment and left the villa. I went to the city of Magenta, the imperial capital. Busy morning steps. Everyone is busy running towards their workplace. On my way to work, I passed through a street that was both busy and quiet, and arrived in front of a large building.
[Ecliptic Magenta Central Bank]
Coincidentally, there were no other visitors inside the bank. This may be because it was so early that even the bank employees had just finished work.
It was then.
“Damian Cayenne?”
A bank teller looked over and asked.
Damian nodded silently.
A businesslike smile appeared on the banker’s face.
“Welcome. You kept the reservation time exactly. Come this way.”
I followed the banker into the consulting room.
And he revealed his business.
“I would like to freeze the account where all my money is saved into a long-term investment account only.”
“…yes?”
The banker’s eyes widen.
“No sir? Then, the account will be changed so that you will not be able to take out a single coin for several years… is that okay?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
It’s really okay.
Because…
“I don’t think I’ll have to spend money for a few years.”
“Is that so?”
“yes.”
It is true.
Today I will be frozen by Bingryong Tyranus. Until my lord finds a cure for my lung cancer. It will take at least a few years. But maybe someday I will wake up. This is all for that day.
“Instead, I heard that it is a financial product that provides profits several times higher than regular savings when the account is unfrozen. Is that correct?”
“Oh yeah. you’re right. “So you came here knowing everything?”
“Of course.”
“Then would you like to read the terms and conditions?”
“Gladly.”
After that, it was all smooth sailing. I read the terms and conditions and signed. I also wrote a mutual agreement with the bank. As a result, all the assets he had saved while working in the special forces at the villa were frozen. But I wasn’t worried. In a few years, it will grow considerably and return to my arms.
After finishing my errand, I left the bank.
My stomach is growling again.
I felt hungry.
Damian stopped walking towards the villa.
‘Should I eat something before I go back?’
When I thought about it, there was a strong possibility that this breakfast would be the last supper or breakfast that I could enjoy before I became a frozen human. But it goes back like this? How about having a final breakfast with the regular meal served at the royal guard restaurant?
no.
That’s kind of a tragedy.
Still, since it is the last meal for at least a few years, wouldn’t it be better to enjoy it as deliciously as possible?
‘…pork cutlets would be good.’
After thinking for a while, the menu Damian chose was pork cutlet pork cutlet. Crispy, cactus-thorn-like fries dipped in sweet, sweet sauce. How soft and savory the bread and soup served before the meal are.
Just thinking about it made my mouth water. The pace suddenly became busier. I traced back memories of what I had heard before. Did you say that Sir Frandel, the commander of the palace guard, has a favorite restaurant? I think it was said that it was a precious place that was open even in the morning.
“Whoa….”
I found it.
Damian went into a shabby but cozy-looking restaurant. The owner’s savory greeting welcomed him.
“Welcome, sir. May I take your order?”
“Yes, one pork cutlet set….”
“Thank you, customer! “The fee will be paid in advance with your order!”
“how much?”
“20 Lloyd Mazen?”
“yes. “Wait a minute…”
Damian rummaged through his pockets.
A pork cutlet is only 20 Lloyd Mazen. It is a cheap price that can feed as many as 50 people for 1 mazen. I was satisfied. So I made a promise. If this store remains the same after a few years, I will definitely come back here again.
But…
“Huh?”
There were no coins in my hand. I was embarrassed. I rummaged through all of my jacket pockets, vest pockets, and pants pockets. But the only amount that came out after wasting it all away was…
“Umm, sir? “Is money… 12 Lloyd Mazen all there is?”
“….”
“In that case, a set of cutlets would be a bit…”
“….”
“I guess one cutlet would be possible instead? “Would you like me to change your order?”
“….”
I want to run to the bank right now.
I want to destroy my frozen account.
“Hey customer?”
“….”
In the end, Damien had to nod with a sigh as the owner asked him to change his order. And said a bitter farewell.
hi. My final breakfast cutlet set.
?
“Tsk. It’s late. He said he was going to town. “What were you doing on such an important day to end up so late?”
“sorry. “I was busy taking care of some work…”
The owner’s nagging came as soon as I returned to the director’s office of the Oriental Medicine Clinic in the villa. A stinging glare. Damian wrinkled his nose. It was unfair. It’s unfair that I couldn’t eat the menu I wanted because I didn’t have enough cash in my pocket, but it’s even more unfair that I wasn’t full because I couldn’t choose the set menu, and I had to get scolded as soon as I got back.
“But you didn’t run away, right Damian?”
“You mean running away?”
What does this mean again?
Damian looked at his master.
Master Crown Prince Rachiel said with a chuckle.
“Ugh, I hate the cold. I’m scared because I’m a frozen human. “I was worried what would happen if I ran away like this.”
“…You must have been very worried.”
“uh? Huh? “Is it true?”
“It’s done. The work has gone well. Now let’s do our job.”
“wow. “Just look at the announcement that it’s the day you become a frozen human.”
“…It’s just an effort to avoid hearing any more of Your Highness’s absurd speculations.”
“Stop talking nonsense and come here, Mr. De.”
“….”
Damian went to the beckoning master’s side. In front of the lord, the portal that had already been created was wide open.
“It’s a portal to the glacier cave. “I’ll do it there.”
“okay.”
“Aren’t you anxious?”
“yes. it’s okay.”
Anxious?
I have never felt it. My lord, the Crown Prince, I have followed your opinion and have never felt any doubt. I just trust and follow you. As long as you are certain that it is the way for you, it will only be so until the day this heart stops.
“Then let’s go.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
I followed my master into the portal. My whole body feels like it’s floating in the air. Like this, the feeling of crossing the portal is always hard to get used to. This mysterious rumbling feeling as if the weight is disappearing. The sight of a cluster of stars pouring down like an illusion. entire.
However, that time was not long.
As I blinked my eyelids a few times, my feet touched the ground. The chilly air hit the back of my neck and hit my forehead. The surrounding scenery had also changed. A huge ice cave where all you see is blue ice. It was the glacier cave where the ice dragon Tyrannus lived, which I had only heard about.
“You’re here. “Let’s get started right away.”
We also saw the Bingryong Tyrannus welcoming us. This is the first time I see Bingryong’s true appearance. It was huge. It looked much larger than the armored dragon Fortis that had undergone an appendectomy at the former palace. It felt as if a giant made of icebergs was reigning supreme.
But that wasn’t the only dragon waiting here.
“Come this way. “Lie down here.”
Flame Dragon Callidis.
Bingryong’s wife.
She gestured in this direction. She maintained her human form. When I thought about it, it seemed like that might be the case. It is said that if she materializes in her original form, she will emit tremendous heat that will burn and melt everything around her. If we do that here, the entire glacier cave will melt.
Damian obediently lay down in the place indicated by the fire dragon.
“…It’s cold.”
“of course. “Because it’s a bed made of perennial ice.”
“So I’m going to spend a long time lying here?”
“As long as you have privacy so far, you don’t have to worry. I also made a lid made of the same material as this bed. “Once we confirm that you have become a frozen human, we will cover it up.”
“…I’m glad to hear that.”
Damian smiled faintly at Chunghwaryong’s joke. And then he looked back at his master. The lord was slightly raising his thumb in this direction.
It’ll be okay.
Everything will be fine.
As if to reassure you.
“….”
All right.
There is no need for any special greetings or comments to be shared. Because we shared all of that last night. We know each other without having to say more. Now that I’m here, it’s a bit cringe-inducing.
“Please begin.”
Damian took a deep breath and said.
Bingryong looked back at Rakiel.
Rachiel nodded.
“It will be cold for a while.”
Bingryong raised his huge head and said. And I held my breath.
Kufuuuuu…!
A large amount of air filled Bingryong’s chest. An extreme coldness filled my swollen lungs. It was Bingryong’s specialty, the cold breath. However, Bingryong did not fire his extreme breath right away. Instead, it was refined and compressed once more.
And then carefully blew it out.
It’s like blowing a soft breath onto a child’s hands that have become cold due to a cold spell.
“Hoo…”
However, although the breath was soft, its power was by no means soft.
Quatz side!
“…!”
The moment Bingryong’s refined breath touched Damian’s whole body, he was covered in frost. The moisture in the air around his body froze in an instant.
At the same time, Damian’s consciousness also blurred in an instant.
“It’s quick freezing. “The next time I open my eyes, it will be years later.”
“…!”
Damian’s eyelids went weak.
Bingryong’s request sounded so distant.
The feeling of fainting comfortably. It feels like the scenery of the world is running away. Fortunately, I didn’t feel cold. Is it because I’m losing my mind without even having time to feel it? On the other hand, it was a little disappointing. Still, I want to say something to my lord. It’s a little cringy, but I might regret it later, but I do it anyway.
It’s an honor to serve you. To be honest, it wasn’t much at first, but from a certain point, I realized that every time I was by your side was a joy to me. I hope that this kind of time can continue for a very long time in the future.
So…
‘Master. No, Rachiel.’
I hope you are safe even while I sleep. May you be healthy. So that the day I open my eyes again, I hope we can look at each other’s faces with smiles. As always. As always.
That was the last time.
Damian’s eyes closed completely.
Consciousness fell asleep beyond rest.
Physical activity froze and stopped.
And the next moment.
…thud thud.
The vibration containing the ominous sound of the demon world made his heart, which had stopped beating, beat once.
No, two or three times in a row.
…Thump! thud!
