The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine

The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 11

Episode 11. Prove your qualifications (1)

“Your Majesty the Emperor has summoned you.”

It was around morning when an unexpected message was delivered. As I was about to start the day with a self-medication as usual, Lord Gardin brought me news.

“hmm? why?”

“Hey, that’s…”

Sir Gardin hesitated before saying.

“It seems that Your Majesty’s antics have reached His Majesty’s ears.”

“My eccentricity?”

If it’s a stroke of luck, no way.

“Yes, what you think is correct.”

“…You probably didn’t inform me of my actions, did you?”

“That’s not it.”

Sir Gardin hastily shook his head.

“After all, there are many eyes and ears in the villa. “I think His Majesty’s eccentricities… or rather, his actions of inserting needles into his own body or decocting and consuming medicinal herbs himself, may have been passed on to the imperial palace through someone else’s mouth.”

“Tsk.”

Rakiel clicked his tongue.

What a stroke of luck.

‘But… I don’t think that’s the only reason you’re calling me.’

For some reason, that was how I felt.

There is something.

Let’s just look at the face. Or maybe I’m worried that you’ve been doing something strange lately. So, I wouldn’t ask you to come to the imperial palace.

‘You’ll find out when you get there.’

Suddenly, the initial development and setting of the novel Demon Sword Emperor came to mind. I also reflected on the emperor’s appearance in the beginning.

‘The emperor was as strict as a lion. For yourself and those around you.’

Of course, his son was no exception. He constantly tested his sons. In particular, he tested his eldest son and successor, the crown prince, the most.

Are you qualified to inherit the throne?

Will I be able to enjoy that status?

We reviewed, judged, and evaluated frequently. He was literally like a lion dropping his cub off a cliff.

But what about Crown Prince Rachiel in the original novel?

‘It completely defied those expectations.’

He was a crown prince with a weak body and mind. He was a person who was so weak that he even did things to those around him to hide his weakness.

‘It was mentioned that the emperor was disappointed by that weakness. And it was about two months before the crown prince died. The emperor called the crown prince for the last time. It was probably around this time.’

The crown prince in the novel, Rachiel, failed to respond to that final call. The condition had already worsened significantly. I couldn’t even get up from the bed.

I was forced to carry him on my back and took a carriage, but in the end, I couldn’t even get halfway to the imperial palace and had to return to the villa, vomiting blood.

‘As a result, Rachiel… was stripped of all of the authority of the actual crown prince.’

It was from that day.

The Emperor gave up Rachiel. He handed over the Crown Prince to his other son who climbed up the cliff.

It was the result of cool-headed examination, judgment, and evaluation.

But now?

‘Things have changed. Quite a lot.’

You are not in bed like in the novel. Going to the imperial palace is easy.

Rachiel stood up.

“Then we should go. “Get the carriage ready.”

“I understand, Your Majesty.”

The process that followed was a breeze.

Riding on a Rollx-Royce-class royal carriage. I left the villa with the escorts. After traveling for about an hour, we arrived at the imperial palace. I passed through a vast garden and many staircases and corners. Finally, I had an audience with Emperor Asterion Testarossa Magentano.

“Crown Prince Rachiel Adria Magentano comes to see His Majesty the Emperor, the rightful ruler of this land.”

I posted a natural example by recalling a line from a novel.

Was it because of that attitude?

A faint look appeared in the emperor’s eyes as he looked down at his eldest son, Rachiel, who had always been weak and weak.

‘…A hazy mind?’

Emperor Asterion repeated without realizing it.

It had to be that way.

A sad way of thinking.

A vision passed down only to the immediate descendants of the imperial family.

It was a heart method that he himself carefully implanted into the crown prince’s small heart when he was a newborn. However, it was a mental technique that the crown prince had never been able to use due to his naturally weak constitution.

‘But why did I feel the resonance of the mind law just now?’

A person with a vague mind can sense the resonance of another person’s mind. And the emperor was a powerful man with a double circle. The resonance he had just felt from his eldest son was clearly one of a vague state of mind.

‘no way.’

The emperor’s gaze deepened as he looked down at Crown Prince Rachiel. I looked closely at my eldest son’s pale complexion. I tried to grasp that inner resonance again.

However, the emperor could not sense any positive signs from his weak eldest son.

‘…was it a misunderstanding?’

A look of disappointment flashed across the emperor’s eyes. The resonance that I thought I felt briefly was no longer felt. The crown prince he saw still looked shabby.

The skinny body looked dangerous, as if it would collapse if touched incorrectly. There was no strong energy to be found anywhere in his gait or body language. His complexion was pale, not to mention pale. The color of the lips was also poor.

In other words, the crown prince’s appearance was that of a typical sick person. It also belonged to a critically ill patient who could not do anything about it.

‘Tsk tsk.’

I guess I was momentarily mistaken. I guess it was a little bit of anticipation that I couldn’t let go of that caused the confusion.

The emperor inwardly clicked his tongue in regret and disappointment. There is no way that such a weak, sick body could have awakened the dark state of mind. Asurahan Simbeop is not such an easy opponent.

‘Why, why?’

The emperor sighed.

After all, my eldest son is like that. At best, he was considered the successor to lead the empire. Let alone an empire, it was only showing an unsightly figure that could not even control its own body.

Numerous healing spells were of no use. The same was true for the priest’s blessings and protection. The countless doctors who had been by his side also waved their hands and left.

The meaning was self-evident.

There is no way to do anything.

There’s no answer.

Perhaps the crown prince will not live long. So, many of the masters must have left like a flock of rats escaping from a sinking ship.

‘Do you have no future?’

Should I have made the second child my successor from the beginning?

The emperor’s gaze as he looked down at the crown prince became hard. As the emperor, not the father, he asked the question to the crown prince, not the son.

“So, was it worth staying at the villa?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

I don’t like the answer I get either. The emperor’s gaze became even harder.

“From what I heard, it seemed a little different.”

The crown prince still bows his head. He spoke to the top of his head in a low but stern voice.

“I heard the villa has been acting strangely lately?”

“….”

“Why is there no answer?”

“That’s…”

“I heard he hurt himself.”

“….”

Is it still stinging?

The emperor’s gaze towards the prince, who had closed his mouth, changed from hard to overbearing.

“They said they did something by sticking a needle into my body. They even made a poisonous herb and drank it. It is truly lame and lame. “Can you still say you are a descendant of the royal family?”

“….”

“I heard that you usually treat your subordinates harshly. It must have been because it was difficult. Maybe it was because I was weak. But now, are we even aiming at ourselves with that arrow of weakness? “Why was it that he could not bear the physical exhaustion and his heart broke down and he acted like that?”

I don’t like it.

His successor, who has never shown himself to be reliable since he was young. His foolish belief that his successor’s weakness would gradually be healed. Another foolishness of not being able to let go of lingering regrets until this very moment.

It became a feeling of resentment and regret that had no place to go.

It was absorbed into the harsh voice.

“That’s not right. You are a proud ancestor of the royal family and a member of the royal family. So, at any moment, even when my body and mind collapse.”

Even if my insides are festering and rotting.

At least on the outside.

“Dignity and dignity must not be lost.”

So until the moment you die.

“At least try not to behave indecently. Do you understand?”

“….”

Crown Prince Rachiel could not answer.

No, Lee Han did not answer.

Instead of answering, he clicked his tongue inwardly.

‘her. ‘Look at what he’s saying.’

When I heard it, I found it a little absurd.

He speaks very dignifiedly.

The dignity of the royal family is mentioned.

If you think about it just a little bit, what are you saying?

‘I’m just saying, don’t tarnish the family’s image, stay quiet and die.’

Is that really what I would say to my son? What if the original Rachiel, and not you, heard those words?

‘You must have been incredibly hurt.’

That’s what it would have been like to hear those words from someone else’s father. But it wasn’t Lee Han.

‘If you look at it roughly, he’s not my father.’

Even though the Emperor was Rachiel’s father, he was not her. Let alone my father, he was just a man I had met for the first time today.

Maybe that was why.

Although the emperor’s harsh remarks poured out, there was not even a scratch on his mentality.

“Also, if Ilsin’s health is an issue and he is unable to bear the weight of the throne, shouldn’t he make a wise decision?”

‘Wise decision?’

Rakiel frowned slightly.

‘He’s strong. The reason I’m leaving until now was just to say hello and to talk about what we’re going to talk about from now on.’

Somehow I felt it.

In the end, that feeling was exactly right.

“I won’t repeat it. “If you are not confident enough to bear the weight of the throne, wouldn’t it be a virtue to give it up to someone more suitable?”

“…yes?”

“It means handing over the title of crown prince to your younger brother, the second prince.”

The emperor’s one-sided words continued.

“Think about it. It will be a decision that will benefit you and everyone else. “This is also Jim’s consideration.”

“….”

Be considerate.

Does this mean that if you refuse this, the imperial title will be confiscated and given to the second prince? It seemed like that. The emperor’s eyes, which had been looking at us sternly, became as generous as a bowl of ramen soup.

“How is it?”

“….”

Rakiel closed his mouth.

It was such a sudden suggestion, no pressure. But he wasn’t embarrassed at all. There were two secrets to not panicking. One was thanks to my experience as an Oriental medicine doctor.

‘Among the patients, there were often elderly people who said things out of the blue.’

There were many different people in this world.

Like asking if you have a lover.

Then he asked me when I was going to get married.

Minor missteps were the basics of basics. In particular, among the elderly people who visit Oriental medicine clinics, there were some who were losing their minds.

An elderly man who suddenly treats me like his son. An elderly person who sees you as a long-lost lover. I even heard a 90-year-old man call me dad. There was a time when I had to change an adult diaper that wasn’t even there while I was in bed.

After experiencing such situations so many times, mental training became automatic. Probably, if you are a self-employed person in Korea (?) who has to deal with all kinds of different people, wouldn’t it all be similar?

The same situation was the same now.

‘what. It’s a little surprising, but not so much that it breaks my judgment.’

He glanced up at the emperor.

The emperor still has stern eyes. The intention in those eyes was somehow clear. That was the second secret to his not being embarrassed.

‘If it were just Crown Prince Rachiel, I would have been embarrassed. You must have been shocked by the unexpected situation and floundered. But not me. I understand your intention. Because I read the novel. Because there was no situation like this in the novel Demon Sword Emperor. But then I know better.’

A different situation from the novel.

The emperor’s stated intention.

What will happen in the future?

Everything was clearly visible.

It was predicted, drawn, and figured out.

At that moment, Rachiel smiled with confidence and said a word that made the emperor flinch.
