The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 96

Episode 96. I was mistaken

between sincerity and trust (1) .

I was wrong. No, I should have known in advance. Of course I should have thought about that. I couldn’t even recall the obvious fact.

“You ca

n’t believe it…” Princess Adeline was speechless. I looked at Rachiel with shaking eyes. Rachiel’s complexion was very pale. Even his lips turned blue under his cold sweat-covered face.

why?

why?

The moment she saw it, she realized.

‘because of me.’

No, because he was dealing with the shock wave for me. The shock given by the mana released toward the solar plexus. The shock of hitting and breaking gallstones several times. The Crown Prince Rachiel took on and bore all of the aftermath of that shock.

‘The shock wave didn’t disappear.’

Actually, that was natural.

If you simply hit the desk with your palm, the impact spreads around you. But will the aftereffects of the powerful mana released into the stomach just disappear for no reason?

Such a thing is impossible.

Any shock that occurs is bound to be transmitted somewhere. So, the crown prince was like this because he had to endure all the shock and did his best to endure it.

“Prince, are you okay?”

Adeline’s voice suddenly trembled. Rachiel could not easily answer. I barely managed to put a faint smile on the end of my lips.

‘This… is bigger than I thought…’

It was difficult to breathe.

My head was buzzing. My skin was cold and my heart was pounding. I was dizzy and felt like I was going to throw up. It was on a different level from when I practiced with Damian.

‘The princess’s mana… I had no idea it would be this enormous.’

He drew in the princess’s mana with a mysterious technique. It was guided to accurately hit the gallstones. It was successful.

However, the problem was the shock wave that was inevitably created when mana and gallstones collided. I couldn’t just leave it like that. This was because if the shock wave spread, the gallbladder and surrounding internal tissue would receive a direct hit.

Liver, pancreas, duodenum and peritoneum. It would be difficult if other vital organs were damaged. It was something that had to be prevented at all costs.

So it was.

Shockwaves were drawn in with a shabby technique. Absorbed. He guided it to his own mana circle. Conquered and neutralized. I tried to do that.

But it wasn’t easy.

“…Kulukkolok!”

Each time you absorb it.

Each time I handle it one by one.

The shock felt like being hit in the chest with a club. The aftereffects of strong mana spread through the chest and into the blood vessels of the entire body. I hit him. So that my whole body hurts. So much so that I fainted.

“Prince? Hey?”

The princess’s panicked voice was heard. I raised my head. I looked at her. Fortunately, he looked fine. I was satisfied.

“Thank goodness…”

He smiled weakly.

The princess’s expression became urgent.

“why? why?”

Has this person finally realized what they did? She asked, holding on to this side that was about to fall apart. There was only one word that came to mind as an answer.

“Because he’s my patient.”

“…yes?”

“Since you decide to receive treatment… you are my patient.”

That’s natural.

Patient and me.

If one of us has to hurt, it has to be me. Because the patient came to me to relieve his pain. It has to be that way.

So I was determined from the beginning. Let’s do it this way. Let’s hold on as hard as we can. I can do it. Encouraging yourself. Encouraging. When you want to break down, urge and whip. That’s how I endured it. I endured it. I did it. The first gallstone treatment was successfully completed.

I was proud.

“So, I need to…”

take a break.

Because I can’t hold on any longer. I’m so dizzy that I want to close my eyes. Because all the strength is draining from my body.

Sleepy.

Not anymore.

“…Prince?”

My legs gave out.

The feeling of gravity pulling your entire body. The feeling of being weighed down by drooping eyelids. My consciousness became blurred. The princess’s cry of “What is this?” and the shouts of the five organs and six organs in surprise. All those sensations disappeared in an instant.

My eyes were immersed in darkness. Will I be comfortable here? I can not know. But one thing was certain. Being able to rest for a while.

“….”

That’s enough.

I am satisfied.

?

Cancel the thought you just had.

This is not satisfactory. I barely passed out, but being faced with such a blatant dream is definitely not satisfying. No, it’s just embarrassing.

“….”

I frowned.

And then I looked around.

I saw a familiar sight in my memories. The entrance to the old 24-pyeong Jugong Apartment. Beyond that, you can see the familiar living room and kitchen. The moment I saw it, I immediately knew where it was. This is the house I lived in from high school until my 20s.

At first with my parents. I’ll be left alone later. This is the house where I lived like that. And this moment was the most dramatically excruciating moment of all the days I had lived in that house.

Because it was the day I was discharged from the military. When I came home after being discharged, there was no one to greet me. Because my mother had already passed away. But why did I come to see this moment as a dream?

“…Whew.”

A sigh came out naturally.

Even though it was a dream, the sensation was so real. Even the image of myself in my 20s wearing a military uniform reflected in the front door mirror seemed so real that I couldn’t believe it.

‘Why am I dreaming like this?’

I went inside the house.

A living room that I haven’t seen in a long time. The sofa had been cleaned for a while and was covered in white dust. I was lost in thought as I watched the same scene I saw that day. And suddenly, I remembered the resolution I had made on this day in the past.

‘okay. I…’

I thought it was unfair.

I lost my father to a stroke. I had to send my mother to cancer. The reality of being alone in an instant was unfair. I hated it. Why did this only happen to me? Why did I end up alone like this? If I could, I wanted to argue with someone.

So, I sat here and cried for a long time. Did you secretly make a resolution at the end? I want to do something that saves people. I want to help people going through the same thing as me.

I think that was the first time I briefly had that thought, even if vaguely. After that, I wandered for a while because of the wall of reality called money, but in the end, I think I gained courage by remembering that promise.

So I entered oriental medicine school. I became an Oriental medicine doctor. But did the resolutions of that day quickly fade?

“….”

I think I became a snob relatively quickly. A pure commitment to save people? Are you determined to help people like me? I quickly forgot.

As I lived and survived alone in this world, I somehow forgot about it. Compromised with reality. I was obsessed with making money like everyone else. Because that was the way to live. I took it for granted and finally came this far. Maybe that’s why I’ve been living and breathing with the face of a snob ever since.

‘Because I don’t want to die.’

You’ll get bonus life. Open a hospital. Bring people together. Want to help others? Rather than that, I think I want to live first. Me now, holding on to only that.

‘But… it’s not a bad thing, is it?’

I tried to rationalize it and laughed.

I looked around the old living room. There is only one thing I wish for now. I wish I could just end this dream and have another dream.

Because I don’t want my heart to hurt.

now.

a little.

I want to be okay.

?

“Luckily, you’re okay now.”

Sir Gardin’s voice rang out in the quiet bedroom. Princess Adeline let out a deep breath she had been holding.

“Is that so? “Is the crown prince really okay?”

“Yes, princess of Amboise.”

Sir Gardin took the stethoscope carefully. He said while looking at Crown Prince Rachiel, who was still unconscious.

“Your breathing and pulse are both normal. “I don’t even have a fever.”

“Then why haven’t you woken up yet?”

“It’s probably because you overexerted yourself so quickly in a short period of time. “Your body naturally wants to rest, and you seem to have fallen into a deep sleep.”

“In that case…”

“It would be best to leave you sleeping soundly like this. Nothing much will happen.”

Sir Gardin smiled faintly.

In fact, he was more surprised than anyone else. Was he taking care of the patients hospitalized in the villa? How heartbroken I was when I heard the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had collapsed.

“You don’t have a healthy constitution to begin with. In fact, he was born with a very… weak constitution.”

“is it. “I caused a lot of trouble.”

“No, princess of Amboise. “Actually, His Majesty gave me a request in advance.”

“Please? To you?”

“Yes, princess.”

Sir Gardin spoke calmly, recalling the memories of the previous day.

“Treating the princess will be quite painful for you, Your Majesty. Maybe it will be so hard that you will faint. So, he warned me in advance not to be too surprised.”

“…But it doesn’t seem like you weren’t surprised.”

“Why would you be surprised?”

Sir Gardin sat down. He smiled faintly at Adeline.

“Actually, Your Majesty, you often do this.”

“often? “This is what you say?”

“Yes, princess. “Because you always think of patients before yourself, Your Highness.”

“….”

Like today.

Just like before.

Is that so?

Adeline suddenly thought. The powerful mana released towards his solar plexus. Still, a strange feeling in my stomach where I had not felt a blow. In fact, it was thanks to the crown prince’s sacrifice.

‘Since you decide to receive treatment… you are my patient.’

“….”

The prince’s words came to mind. Sir Gardin continued.

“That’s why I’m always worried. I am His Majesty the Crown Prince’s only physician. I have to take care of it. That’s natural. “Every time I see the person I’m supposed to take care of having such a hard time taking care of others, I think… wow.”

“….”

Adeline looked.

There were tears in Sir Gardin’s eyes. It may be because although he speaks calmly, his heart aches. However, this may be the reason why it is not easy to stop the master. Is it because the crown prince’s feelings are sincere?

“….”

I guess so. The crown prince seems to be that kind of person. A desire to take care of at least one person without compensation. The courage to willingly endure sacrifices for the sake of the patient. He seems to have been the kind of person who was driven by that single thought.

That’s why, as we saw earlier, they take care of countless patients without compensation. So, he probably called me here, told me that I had a disease that I wasn’t aware of, and set out to cure it.

‘All those actions… were sincere.’

Otherwise, there is no way I would have made the same sacrifice today. I was finally able to realize it. I was embarrassed. I couldn’t trust such a great person. My petty self, who doubted and hated me. I was embarrassed and sorry.

“….”

Adeline quietly stretched out her hand. I gently patted the back of Rachiel’s hand while she was sleeping. Her eyes towards Rachiel were completely different from before. Maybe it was thanks to that.

Ding dong!

Into the consciousness of the sleeping Rachiel. In front of his eyelids as he blamed himself, a heartwarming message was quietly engraved in the silence.
