The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 10

Episode 10. Promise of a professional Gapjeol (2)

‘Cane?’

An unexpected plea from a maid.

Rachiel was shocked.

‘what. Cane whipping. All I did was drop a glass and it broke. ‘I just spilled a little bit of honey water.’

A maid who fell flat on her face worrying about being whipped for such a mistake.

His expression hardened.

‘no way.’

The owner of this body is Crown Prince Rachiel. Does that mean he has ever whipped the maids? Looking at the maid’s frightened attitude and reaction, I don’t know if that’s really the case.

He asked for confirmation.

“Have I ever whipped you?”

Please tell me there isn’t any.

Please tell me it’s not that kind of trash.

I desperately wished in my heart.

Did that wish come true?

“Oh, I don’t have any, Your Highness.”

The maid shook her head vigorously.

“Your Majesty has never personally carried a cane.”

“…hmm?”

Rachiel has never held a cane ‘himself’?

Wait a minute, no way.

“Then maybe… you ordered someone else to do it?”

“….”

“really?”

“It was because the girl had done something wrong. “I apologize, Your Majesty.”

Did he feel like he was being interrogated by this person?

The maid became more thoughtful.

Rakiel’s expression also became more determined.

“It was true.”

I thought it was real. I once ordered others to whip a maid.

Crown Prince Rachiel.

I thought he was just a sick guy.

what have you done

I had a million questions.

He looked at the maid again.

“Then let me ask you one more question. “What did you do wrong at the time to be caned?”

“That…”

“It’s okay. say it.”

“Splashing water droplets….”

“What?”

“I splashed water droplets on your sleeve, so your sleeve got wet…”

“Wait a minute.”

“….”

“Are you sure you said there was a little water droplet splashed on your sleeve?”

“I’m so sorry.”

“Huh.”

Judging by the maid’s attitude, it seemed like it wasn’t a lie. When I heard it, I found it absurd. The prayer was not full.

‘What. Crown Prince Rachiel. Was he that kind of guy?’

Suddenly, the novel ‘The Demon Sword Emperor’ came to mind.

In that novel, Crown Prince Rachiel was only a supporting character who appeared briefly in the beginning. As a result, the amount of appearances or mentions was small.

How did you usually live? What kind of person was he to those around him? Those aspects have never been described in detail. Because he was a character that can be summarized as simply being weak, suffering from various chronic diseases, and dying young.

So it was.

Just a sickly pity.

I had imagined and expected exactly that kind of character. But would you like to take a peek at the details by lifting off the shell?

‘Maybe this guy was more trash than I thought.’

A maid who trembles even at the slightest mistake like that. Looking at him, I felt like I knew a little bit about what Crown Prince Rachiel was like on a regular basis.

He clicked his tongue, feeling bitter.

“Tsk. That’s enough, stop begging and get up. “I won’t whip you.”

“yes?”

“Didn’t you hear? “Get up.”

The maid woke up at the speed of light. However, it seemed as if he was still scared and was hesitantly looking at what this person was thinking.

“I’m fine, just clean up the broken glass and leave.”

“Oh, I understand, Your Highness.”

The maid panics. Surprisingly(?), I was a little embarrassed and moved because it seemed like I was easily forgiven. Rakiel, who was watching this, could not bear it and said something.

“I hurt my hand while cleaning up hastily.”

flinch!

The maid’s hand flinched as she hurriedly tried to pick up the broken glass.

“You can use a broom. “What if I get hurt while cleaning it up with my hand because I’m in a hurry?”

“…I apologize, Your Majesty. “I almost stained the precious floor with my dirty blood.”

“No, that’s not what I meant…”

“Even if I bleed, I will never spill it on the floor, Your Highness.”

“That’s not what I said…”

“Please don’t just whip me with the cane…”

“That’s not what I meant…”

Amid the deepening misunderstanding, only the urgent brushing of the broom continued.

The maid, who had cleaned up the broken glass and the spilled honey water, hurriedly retreated like the wind. No, he escaped. He even cried and expressed his gratitude when this person said that there was no need to bring the honey water again.

“….”

That figure running away.

He looks like someone who escaped after being imprisoned by a crazy person with a personality disorder.

‘Crown Prince Rakiel, what on earth is this guy?’

As the situation progressed, I became curious. Fortunately, there was someone left nearby to take my questions.

“Lord Gardin.”

“Yes, Your Highness. “You called me.”

“uh. I called. by the way.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?”

It’s not that it’s not, but the look in Sir Gardin’s eyes when he looked at us a little while ago was truly mysterious. It seems like the look in the eyes of someone who has witnessed an unexpectedly heartwarming sight.

That somehow bothered me more.

“And one more question. “Why did that maid act like that just now?”

“Well, isn’t it true that I was moved by Your Majesty’s generosity and stepped down?”

“Tsk. “Don’t talk nonsense.”

“yes?”

“That maid did the same thing earlier. “I once ordered someone else to whip me.”

“Yes I did.”

“Actually, I’ve been sick a lot lately, so my memories are a bit mixed up. That’s why I’m asking. “It wasn’t a huge mistake, just a little water droplet splashing on my sleeve.”

“…Yes, I did.”

“So I’m asking again, have other maids or servants experienced similar things?”

“majesty.”

“First answer my question.”

“…Yes, I experienced it.”

“You made them whip each other? I?”

“Yes, Your Majesty… But we believe in you.”

“What do you believe?”

“Because His Majesty was famous for being generous and kind when he was young.”

“It sounds like you weren’t like that when you grew up?”

“no. “It is not your fault.”

“then?”

“It is because a nasty illness has tormented His Majesty and caused him to lose his mind.”

“Tsk. “That’s an excuse.”

“No, Your Highness.”

Sir Gardin vehemently denied what they said and shook his head. However, it seems like it’s just a glossy statement made to look good.

Rachiel looked with a straight face.

“Honestly, since I’ve been feeling unwell these days, I feel like my memory has suddenly deteriorated. I can’t remember things from the past. So, I’d like to hear more details.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“What kind of person was I? “To the Lord and the maids and servants here.”

“Your Highness, of course…”

“Speak objectively. Do not lie. I’ll check with someone else too. “If there is even the slightest lie, then they will boil some strange medicine and drink it right in front of you?”

“yes?”

“What I put in the medicine will depend on my mood.”

“majesty?”

“Now then, tell me. “What kind of person was I?”

“That was….

The effect of the self-hostage threat(?) was amazing.

Sir Gardin’s mouth opened softly.

♣

The story ended after about half an hour.

Numerous testimonies and eyewitness accounts.

Objective evaluation and reflection.

After hearing that, Rachiel was able to come to a sober conclusion.

‘Crown Prince Rakiel, that guy was a very sensitive boss.’

He wasn’t fundamentally a bad guy.

It was pretty good when I was young.

However, as I suffered from illness, I became more and more sensitive.

‘At first, I thought I was becoming a little more sensitive, but later it seemed like I crossed the line from time to time.’

Lord Gardin’s testimony.

The Crown Prince Rachiel seen through it was the embodiment of hysteria. If there was even the slightest thing that bothered him, he would get angry.

screaming loudly

Pick up and throw things.

Irritability is all about irritability.

He even whipped the maids and servants. Of course, since my own strength is low, I ordered another servant or maid to do it.

Thanks to this, the servants and maids of this villa could not even breathe properly whenever the crown prince passed nearby. I’m afraid I might get on my nerves and get struck by lightning.

That’s how much Crown Prince Rakiel’s hysteria and abuse of power was enormous.

‘They whipped me because it was bothersome for me to breathe too hard. I didn’t let him sleep for two days because I heard him sneezing while he was sleeping. Because one type of sauce was missing from the meal, both the cook and the maid were starved for four days. He even slapped me on the face because I didn’t want to hear the sound of his clothes moving. Ugh. ‘Are you a human bastard?’

There was no such thing as abuse of power.

This was even more so because, from the perspective of those who suffered, it was an imperial-level abuse of power that could neither be questioned nor challenged.

‘It was the worst.’

Now I understand the reaction the maid showed earlier. The night a water bomb exploded while testing a circle slot not long ago, I also remembered the guards who easily believed our poor excuses.

‘At that time, I made an excuse that I was angry and broke the bottle. But Crown Prince Rachiel actually did things like that on a regular basis. Thanks to this, the guards naturally believed my excuse.’

After all, the excuse they made was because of the crown prince’s usual behavior. A wry smile came out at this strange coincidence. However, there were also some parts that I did not understand.

“By the way, Sir Gardin.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“I listened carefully to what you said. Thank you for being honest. by the way. “I still have some questions.”

“Please ask, Your Majesty.”

“uh. I understand why the other servants and maids are afraid of me. “But what’s wrong with you?”

“…yes?”

“No, when I thought about it, it was like that. They say I behaved so harshly. “But until now, it seems like he has never felt intimidated or afraid of me, even in front of me.”

“Because I trust you, Your Majesty.”

“what?”

Lord Gardin’s answer came back without a second of hesitation.

When I heard it, it was absurd.

“You believe it? “My what?”

“Well, um, he was originally a good person…”

“So?”

“I believed that if I cured you, you would return to your old personality. “Recently, that faith has begun to be rewarded.”

“You mean repayment?”

“Recently, Your Highness.”

“….”

“I don’t know what you will think if I tell you this, but you have changed. It’s changing. So, since the day he vomited blood and fainted while writing his diary.”

“Oh, that day?”

That day would be the day this person entered Rachiel’s body. However, Sir Gardin, who did not know that fact, spoke with a bit of emotion.

“From that day on, Your Majesty has changed. Her tone and behavior became a little rougher and deviated from etiquette, but she still didn’t get irritated with me or the maids. never.”

“Hmm. So did you like it?”

“I was touched.”

“Was it touching?”

“I’m still thankful to heaven.”

“You should thank me, not the sky, right?”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

“yes. “That’s it.”

“….”

“Anyway, are you happy that I’ve changed?”

“Of course, Your Highness.”

“I even cut myself with a needle. right?”

“Oh, that’s…”

“I just boiled the roots of the poisonous plant and took one shot. right?”

“….”

“It would be great, Sir Gardin.”

“….”

Lord Gardin’s face crumpled.

But if you look closely, it was a really strange thing. Even during this time, a warm smile was faintly hanging on the corner of Kyung’s mouth.

‘I guess that’s the same for me too.’

I guess it’s like that.

I’m just teasing you with words, but I’m grateful. There’s no way I wouldn’t be grateful for the sincerity shown by such a faithful person. Rakiel tried to capture his true feelings and smiled mischievously.

“Ugh. Anyway, what kind of fuss is this while eating? Let’s finish eating some bread. By the way, has Sir Gardin had dinner?”

“I haven’t eaten yet, Your Highness.”

“Do you want to eat together?”

“…yes?”

“I think there’s some bread left over here.”

“Your Highness, I…”

“Just take it.”

“….”

A piece of bread cut in half and given to me. Sir Gardin doesn’t know what to do while holding it.

Seeing that made me smile again.

And I secretly made a promise.

Sir Gardin in the novel, who remained by this side out of loyalty and ended up being executed. I won’t let you experience such misfortune here.

I will never allow this side to die and that side to take responsibility for it. I promised and promised again that I would survive.

And the next day.

The emperor’s call was transmitted to the villa.
