The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 123

Episode 123 Enjoyment with the Enemy (1)

“What are you going to do now?”

As soon as I was guided into the dorm and entered, Damian’s voice pierced my ear as if reprimanding me. My cochlea was sore. know. I know this too. That the current situation is not good at all. No, strictly speaking, it was fucked.

But Rachiel did not answer. Instead of answering, I looked around the interior of the hotel I was guided to. True to the courtesy promised from the beginning, it was very spacious and luxurious even for a field tent. However, I cannot say that the security is thorough.

‘Shh.’

He brought his lips together and placed his index finger.

Damian flinched at the sight of him like that.

At that moment, I saw paper and an ink pen placed on a small field table. He looked at Damian and Lord Gardin alternately and pointed at the writing instrument.

‘Because someone might overhear our conversation. ‘By writing.’

Nod.

Did you understand the meaning of this? Two people gathered here.

Rachiel grabbed the pen.

– under. I didn’t know either. Because I was rumored to be a saintly military doctor. Because of the last blood transfusion, I gained a reputation for being able to heal people’s pain just by touching them. So I came because I thought the rebels also coveted my healing abilities. Ugh. Seed.

After writing that far, I put down the pen.

Sir Gardin took over the pen.

– But, Your Highness. As you can see, I don’t think we have any intention of entrusting wounded soldiers to His Majesty here. This is a big deal. There must be quite a few wounded soldiers here waiting for your care.

Damian also quickly grabbed the pen.

– That’s why I told you. Rather than trying too hard, it would be better to just return to the imperial palace.

– Write it. Did I know it would be like this?

Rakiel clicked his tongue.

His pen moved quickly across the paper.

– No, I never would have thought that that person would use me as a propaganda tool for political propaganda. Am I feeling unfair too? I was just trying to feel something rewarding while treating the wounded soldiers here, right?

It’s true.

This is truly honest and sincere.

I thought that when I came here, I would have a daily life similar to that at the Kingdom Army’s healing camp. The only intention was to treat the piled up wounded soldiers and wipe out the bonus life.

‘But the rebel leader Javilon is really that person.’

We need a declaration of support for the revolutionary army. They will set a date and a location, so all you have to do is follow the instructions and speak passionately. So now you won’t have to do the difficult work of picking up the rotten flesh of dying soldiers or drenching them in blood.

As if they were considerate of this side.

As if that were the highest courtesy.

How absurd it was to smile and speak so politely. The back of my head, which hadn’t even been hit, was so tingling that I thought I might have a blockage.

I realized the situation(?) late.

So it was.

He hurriedly responded, “No, I protested.”

– So I said I didn’t like that either. They say caring for wounded soldiers is not difficult at all. It’s not that difficult. Rather, I find it rewarding. So, instead of making a political declaration, please leave the wounded soldiers in charge. That’s what I came to do.

That was also true.

This was as soon as I heard Javilon’s bombshell announcement. I made that protest reflexively, like a pressed spring bouncing. He even spoke as if he was appealing.

I really like wounded soldiers. If you don’t take care of them even for a day, thorns will sprout all over your body. I can’t eat or sleep. So, I think I would be truly happy if I brought several cartloads of wounded soldiers right now. Just leave it to me.

appealed.

It appealed strongly.

But it was no use.

Jabilon just looked at us and smiled meaningfully. I shook my head faintly. Without even blinking, I gave him a polite refusal.

‘Lee Han, the military doctor who is called a saint. I understand what you mean. I understand your noble feelings well. But there is a time for all human affairs.’

‘…Time?’

‘It’s the only moment when you can do what you need to do. For example…’

‘No way.’

‘Do you understand what I mean? I’m glad you’re quick-witted. It’s even better because the story seems to flow well.’

‘So does this mean that you can only declare political support now, but you can still care for wounded soldiers later on?’

‘That’s correct.’

Javilon was still smiling politely. But apart from the smile, his attitude was like a pumpkin itself. This request cannot be met. Nowadays, public declaration of political support is the top priority.

In the end, I had no choice but to step down.

I also had no choice but to admit it.

Rakiel worked hard with his pen.

– Anyway, I have to admit it now. Here it is open and open.

I couldn’t see any angles.

Javilon’s attitude was too firm to appeal to leave the wounded soldier in charge. If I continued to mess around here, I might end up arousing a lot of unnecessary suspicion.

So there is only one conclusion.

– Let’s stop.

“….”

Damian and Sir Gardin tilted their heads at the words written here. Rachiel added quickly.

– Because I don’t see any possibility of doing anything good here. Let’s cut it off as early as possible and run away. To the ecliptic road.

– I agree. But there’s a problem.

Damian grabbed the pen as if he was stealing it and wrote down a question.

– How do you plan to escape? As I came here, I noticed that the defenses here were not lax at all. No, it seemed impossible to escape secretly even in the darkest hours of the night.

– uh. I know that.

This was clearly the rebel army’s field headquarters. Among them, it was the center where many of the most key commanders stayed.

Tight security and defense that took your breath away were basic. It wasn’t just that there were a lot of sentry soldiers. The movements and sight lines of all guard troops were organically connected. It seemed like there were about 20 CCTV cameras installed on almost every street corner. In addition, there seemed to be quite a few magical detection devices and traps.

What about sneaking through this? It is absolutely impossible. Unless Damian becomes a sword master, I can’t even dream.

But it wasn’t that there was absolutely no hope.

– I have an idea.

– Is there a way?

– uh.

Damian looks intently at us. He smiled brightly at the guy.

– You should whine.

“…yes?”

Was it so absurd? Damian asked back without realizing it. But Rachiel did not respond. I just promised to do the best I could at the moment.

It was from the next day. Rachiel’s whining(?) was carried out.

“…Keuuuuuuuk! Cool look! “Wow!”

“Why are you doing this, Rihan?”

“I’m sorry, but… Cough! Kuok kellok!”

The first morning after changing the flag to rebel. As soon as Rakiel met Javilon, he coughed violently like a dying person. I worked hard on my faint mind and made my forehead and face feel warm.

Thanks to this, heat bloomed all over my face. He looked like someone with a fever. Javilon saw that and twitched one of his eyebrows.

“Could it be that you have a disease?”

“I really… Cough! Wow! Sorry… I’m cool with it!”

I acted with all my might.

While coughing, I deliberately opened my mouth wide. Thanks to this, my lips, which had been dry(?) after repeatedly applying saliva all night long, became completely chapped. It was perfect timing. More appropriately, even blood came out and flowed gently.

“Keek kuluk! “Cough!”

“…Surgeon Lee Han.”

“Yes Cooluk! Wow! I’m truly sorry, but I need to recuperate for a while…”

“Making sick doesn’t work.”

“….”

“Are you trying to use illness as an excuse to make it clear that you want to leave now?”

“…Well, that’s not all.”

“then?”

“I just don’t feel like going to work today… I arrived here last night, so I’m actually still quite tired…” “

Then take a break today. See you tomorrow.”

“….”

Rakiel closed his mouth.

Javilon grinned. He even added it as if he knew how this person felt.

“I don’t have anything to do right now anyway. However, if you remain that way until ten days later, you will be in trouble.”

“What do you mean by 10 days later?”

“That day, I will ask you to declare your support on the plain overlooking the Valois fortress.”

“….”

“I hope you’re in good shape that day.”

Javilon left a subtle remark and turned around. But Rachiel was an indomitable Korean. I didn’t give up just because I got kicked once. With a passionate desire to leave the company, I pushed ahead with a new attempt the next day.

“Hey, I have something to tell you.”

As soon as morning dawned, I went to Javilon. This time, I didn’t cough exaggeratedly like the day before. Instead, he displayed a very serious and serious expression.

“Actually, I have an elderly mother.”

“mother?”

“That’s right.”

I quickly answered Javilon’s question. After that, I fired off the prepared lines. No, it was the moment when they were about to fire. Javilon opened his mouth in half a beat.

“I really need to take care of my mother because she has very limited mobility and is suffering from an incurable disease, but I feel very bad about not being able to protect her at a time like this. I feel like it is not humanly right, so I am trying to say that I think I should go back to my hometown. “What?”

“….”

answer.

Rachiel stiffened like a mannequin. The corners of Javilon’s mouth twisted strangely.

“I know it’s a lie. “Go away.”

“…All right.”

So I failed again. But his attempts did not stop the next morning.

“Your Excellency Javilon. “Actually, I have a girlfriend.”

“girl friend? “You mean lover?”

“yes.”

“It looks like it’s not there.”

“there is!”

“Because you put so much effort into emphasizing it, it really seems like there isn’t much more.”

“….”

“I guess I can’t get over my longing for my lover, so I want to go see her face even just for a moment… something like that?”

“you’re right!”

“And you’re never coming back.”

“no.”

“Then why do you think you nodded?”

“….”

“Surgeon Lee Han.”

“Yes sir.”

“I know your heart.”

Javilon’s eyes are looking at us intently. In front of those eyes, my shoulders almost shrunk without me knowing.

Javilon continued.

“As I said before, you want to take care of the wounded soldiers. You want to do your duty like that. I understand. But please also understand that I cannot entrust you with that task now.”

“…Why?”

“Because it would be difficult if you were exposed now.”

“no way.”

“You figured out what I meant here again. “I also like that the story is fast.”

A satisfied smile appeared on Javilon’s lips. I asked that smile.

“A declaration of political support that I must make in 7 days. Do you think that if its existence is revealed before then, the effectiveness of the declaration of support will be reduced?”

“You guessed correctly.”

Javilon’s smile became more satisfied. His words continued.

“Your declaration of support will be an opportunity for a reversal for the revolutionary army. It will be a stepping stone for a turnaround. It should be that shocking. It must be something no one could have predicted. Therefore, it would be difficult if the fact of your participation in the revolutionary army spreads to the outside world before you declare your support. “Because the shock is lessened.”

“….”

I know what you mean. I guess they’re trying to prevent spoilers(?). At the same time, another question came to mind.

“Then why don’t you declare your support right now?”

“Because the time is not yet ripe.”

“What do you mean time?”

“Rihan, when you show even a little bit of sincere support for me.”

“….”

Rakiel closed his mouth. Honestly, it was an answer I didn’t expect. Javilon continued.

“I think so. I hope your declaration of support shows just the slightest bit of sincerity. No, it has to be that way.”

“Why?”

“Only then will we be able to knock on the hearts of the people. It will be impressive enough to elicit voluntary participation from everyone. “Only then will we be able to lay the foundation for a revolution that will transform Amboise into a great kingdom.”

“….”

“A declaration of support just because you’re told to? You can do it. It’s possible. But I think differently. You can’t impress me that way. You can’t move people’s hearts. “No, if only a superficial declaration of support was needed, I would have taken a different approach.”

“What… means?”

“They probably brainwashed you with drugs or magic.”

“….”

“But such methods cannot produce good results. It may attract the public’s attention in the short term, but it will soon be seen that the declaration of support was not sincere. Because that’s what brainwashing is. Because it’s bound to show up in the end. There will be backlash, there will be backlash, and in the worst case, you may face a backlash that denies the values and spirit of the revolutionary army. “I don’t want that outcome.”

“Then…”

“That’s it. I hoped that during the ten days, you would feel the breath of the revolutionary army up close and sympathize with my ideals and goals even a little. I hoped that the declaration of support contained at least a little bit of that sincerity. But now that I look at it, I regret that my thoughts and wishes were a little too complacent.”

“Do you mean regret?”

“Hmm.”

Javilon nodded.

Something is ominous.

It’s fierce.

But why do strong premonitions always fit like a picture? Javilon looked this way as if a thought occurred to him. He spoke without blinking his eyelids with his unique gaze that seemed to see right through the person.

“So a good alternative came to mind. “Surgeon Lee Han?”

“yes.”

“Be my doctor.”

“Yes?”

“If you just stay in the dorm, you won’t have time to truly feel and empathize with my ideals and goals just by seeing each other briefly in the morning. So, from now on, please become my doctor and stay by my side 24 hours a day.”

“….”

“How do you feel?”

…Whatever you say, you fucking bastard.

Rachiel felt like crying.
