The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 130
Episode 130 Chase of the Crazy Guys (3)
“Why are you here?”
The princess muttered to herself. No, that wasn’t something I was talking to myself. It was almost like a shout.
The shout flew through a fairly long distance. Finally, I stabbed Rakiel’s eardrums.
Rachiel flinched.
“…uh?”
Damian’s head creaked as he ran, almost carrying him on his back. I went back to where the voice came from. Thanks to this, I made eye contact with the princess.
“….”
Silence lasted for 3 seconds.
Soon Rachiel shouted.
“Princess! “This is how we finally meet!”
A voice trembling with emotion. Before I knew it, he came running with teardrops forming in the corners of his eyes. It was as if he was jumping into the princess’ arms and hugging her.
Thanks to this, Adeline was shocked.
“What!”
“Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!”
While Princess Adeline was confused, Rakiel climbed onto the back of her saddle. There was no time for her to stop and sleep.
“What is it? “Prince, why are you doing this in a place like this?”
“It all depends on the circumstances.”
“What are the circumstances? Didn’t you say you would return to the imperial capital? “It’s been more than 10 days since you sent a letter like that and then left without saying anything.”
“There were circumstances that made it impossible to avoid it.”
“No, what is the situation? You, who thought you had returned to your home country, are here being chased by rebels like this.”
“Don’t people have various circumstances in their lives?”
“So you’re not going to answer?”
“It’s too complicated and long to answer.”
“Still, I want to hear it.”
The princess’s eyes sharpened as she looked at Rachiel, who had arbitrarily shared the back seat.
It’s not that I didn’t, I was disappointed. It was absurd. Is it simply because Rakiel did not return to the ecliptic, contrary to what was written in the letter? Because you feel like you fooled yourself?
It wasn’t.
“Why are you wearing a rebel cloak?”
The problem was the winter coat that Rachiel was wearing. It was the official uniform of the rebels.
The shoulder was even engraved with the insignia of a unit belonging to the rebel command.
“Even that coat is brand new, having just been issued. It’s dirty with moss and mud here and there, but it’s noticeable. “Where and what did you do for 10 days after leaving the healing camp?”
Suddenly, the princess’s eyes were filled with suspicion as she looked at Rachiel.
A uniform coat engraved with the rebel command’s insignia. The coat looked like it had been issued for only a few days. An unpleasant puzzle appeared in my mind.
she asked half-convincedly.
“Is it true that you have been a member of the rebel army all this time? “For lying to me?”
“yes!”
Rachiel answered immediately.
It was such a shamelessly confident answer. Thanks to this, Princess Adeline was momentarily speechless.
Meanwhile, Rachiel’s even more strangely calm response continued.
“you’re right. He was attached to the rebel command. “It was a much more fulfilling day than I expected.”
“….”
“But just like that, joining the rebels was a sacrifice of my own made with a deep meaning.”
“…Sacrifice?”
“That’s right. Risky infiltration! With eyes like blades aimed at the enemy’s heart! “I willingly carried out this task despite my trembling anxiety and fear in order to be of some help to the kingdom’s army and to put an end to this unfortunate and sad civil war as early as possible.”
“How does that sound like an excuse? “That’s also very lame.”
“Have you been caught?”
“yes.”
“But this is not the time for us to be here. “The spirit will come later, so let the horse run faster.”
“Why? Because of the rebels running from over there?”
“yes.”
“But it seems like they are barely outnumbered by us. Since we have already encountered it like this, I think it would be better to confront it head-on, destroy it, and then return.”
A cruel smile appeared on Princess Adeline’s lips. She was confident.
The 500 cavalry he led were the most elite of the kingdom’s army. With a similar number, I was confident that I would not be defeated by any of the rebel forces.
Moreover, it now seemed that this side had almost twice as many troops. So what if we clash head on? You will be able to annihilate the enemy without much damage.
‘And this will be a good example.’
A rebel cavalry unit that attempted to slaughter only three people (?) as if they were hunting them. The kingdom’s princess and royal guard who stopped them and saved the people.
What if even the rebel cavalry was destroyed in such a series of processes? What if both the kingdom army in the fortress and the rebel army across the plains watch?
The morale of the kingdom’s army will soar. On the other hand, the morale of the rebels will fall to the ground.
‘This is an opportunity. It is beneficial to fight here and destroy them.’
The princess finished calculating.
But at that moment, Rachiel shouted.
“If you hit it, everyone will die!”
“Why?”
“Because Javilon is at the forefront of them!”
“…yes?”
The color drained from the princess’s expression. She looked back at Rachiel with startled eyes.
“Javilon? Directly?”
“yes!”
“No way. He’s the leader of the rebel army? why?”
“You’re trying to catch me!”
“You? why?”
“Because I have become the most important person to him!”
“….”
What on earth have you been doing for the past ten days or so?
The princess somehow came up with incredible(?) imaginations. But now was not the time to sit idle and wallow in delusion.
What if Javilon is really leading the rebel cavalry? You must never collide. Because he is a sword master. This side will be destroyed.
The worries didn’t last long. She looked back at the guards following her. He ordered quickly.
“All troops! leave!”
Command and execution occurred almost simultaneously.
As the princess turned her nose to the right, the entire 500-strong line of guards followed her.
With a flexible maneuver, he took out the crossbow from his saddle. I aimed the loaded bolt to the left.
“launch!”
Tutututu!
The scene of a blazing fire. 500 bolts flew violently into it.
However, the princess and the royal guard did not confirm the results of the shooting. He turned his nose around and accelerated toward the fortress.
Only then did the princess relax somewhat.
‘it’s okay. Even if the Xavilon had been charging close, it would have hesitated under the salvo, giving us time to accelerate and increase the distance between us.’
So they won’t be able to chase you anymore.
You will be able to leave safely.
It was a moment of certainty for her.
Two hit!
“…!”
A strange explosion was heard from the rear. The sound of a magic bullet exploding? Or, if the space splits, it would make a sound like that.
The princess looked back, feeling an ominous premonition. And I had to lament. Ironically, those who say ominous premonitions always seem to come true.
‘Jabilon!’
Javilon was rushing through the flames. No, the flames completely dissipated when he stabbed the sword. In the meantime, Javilon came running.
A courser carrying a royal guard? That was out of the question. The king’s famous horse that carried the princess herself? As expected, it was not enough.
So, Javilon was chasing this line without even riding a horse.
From behind? No, from the side. I ran alongside this line. As if to show off. He even looked back and grinned! It was a killer smile in the true sense of the word.
“….”
Rachiel had a hunch.
That guy just looked at me and smiled. It is certainly. Because our eyes met. However, although his mouth was smiling, his eyes were not smiling at all.
All the downy hair from my tailbone to the back of my head stood on end. Is this what it feels like to be chased by the worst stalker of all time?
But there was no time to enjoy that feeling.
Taaa-!
At a distance of 10 meters, Javilon, running alongside me, kicked the ground. For a moment, his appearance became blurred. No, it grew so suddenly. It came close!
“Are you glad you fooled me?”
“…!”
Javilon approached in an instant. Before I knew it, the remaining distance from him was 2 meters. Lurking there was the large figure of Javilon, growling as if whispering.
I felt like I had just encountered an angry animal. But there was no time to react. Because before I knew it, the guy’s sword was being swung.
“You will never even think about running away again.”
Wedge-!
Is this because the adrenaline explodes when the sense of crisis reaches its peak? Or is it because the ebb and flow of life passes by? Suddenly, the passage of time felt slow.
Javilon smiles brightly while looking at us. The movement of the sword he was cutting horizontally was clearly visible.
Of course, just because you can see it doesn’t mean you can respond. I could only watch. Thanks to this, I was able to understand what the guy’s sword was aiming for.
‘My legs.’
The guy’s sword was cutting horizontally at exactly the height of my knee. The idea is to completely separate the horse’s body and legs.
The plan is to make him crippled and keep him by his side for the rest of his life. It was creepy.
Should we reveal the identity of this side now? In fact, I should shout out that I am the crown prince of Magentano. But what good is that? The despairing realization that I was ruined hit me hard.
But that was then.
“majesty!”
A sharp cry was heard, shattering the slow perception of time. It was Damian’s voice.
At the same time, a fierce force came from behind like a storm. It collided with Javilon’s sword.
Tukkeong-!
Shock waves came all at once. I was hit all over my body.
A dull shock, like being in a car accident with a huge gym ball filled with water. With the feeling that the world was shaking, the slow flow of time was broken.
“Gagging!”
My whole body floated in the air. It was the result of being pushed away by a shock wave. So what happens to me? There was no time to think.
I curled my whole body into a circle. At that moment, someone pulled me over.
Kwadangtang! Quad de gu!
“…!”
I gave a rough high-five to the ground with my whole body. The positions of heaven and earth were reversed at least ten times. It rolled badly, kicking up dust.
It felt like all the joints in my body were falling out of place. I couldn’t come to my senses.
But I had to force it.
“Open your eyes!”
slam!
“…!”
With a bitter cry, my cheeks became hot as if on fire. I opened my eyes. Princess Adeline, bleeding from her forehead, was looking over and shouting.
“Wake up you idiot!”
Did she surround me at the moment of fall? It seemed like that. Adeline’s entire body was covered in dust.
Blood was flowing from his forehead and his left arm was hanging limp. It seemed broken.
However, it was not a situation to exchange friendly greetings with each other.
“hurry! “Run away from this gap!”
She shouted again. When I said ‘this gap,’ I glanced to one side. I turned my gaze to follow her gaze.
Eventually, I was able to witness it.
Tukkeung! Tucker-!
The two animals were roughly entangled.
Damian and Javilon were clashing.
No, in fact, it was a one-sided violence rather than a clash. Javilon was consistently pushing Damian, overwhelming him.
Damian barely escaped death and appeared to be busy with defense and evasion.
It was natural.
Because Damian is not a sword master. Because I am only at the intermediate level of Expert, just before I advance to the upper level of Sword Expert.
So, according to principle, Damian would not be able to properly receive even the sword master Javilon’s single sword. That’s normal.
But surprisingly, Damian held on. They overcame a gap that could not even be compared, and even though they were in an overwhelming defensive position, they held on against Javilon.
It was like a miracle. Javilon’s eyes widened as if he felt a similar surprise.
At that time, the princess’ urgent voice was heard again.
“what are you doing! “Let’s move quickly!”
“Let’s move?”
“yes! “We must run away while your escort gives us time!”
Adeline shouts that she must abandon Damian and run away.
Actually, it was a natural thing.
It was an extremely reasonable, rational, and normal opinion.
This is the crown prince of the empire. Because Damian is just an escort. Guards are meant to fight, die, and sacrifice themselves in times like these. Adeline seemed to think so too.
…but not to me.
“It’s not possible. “You can’t just throw it away.”
I gritted my teeth and stood up. I turned to Adeline and declined. The frustration of not being able to understand came to mind in her eyes.
“Why don’t we go right away?”
She reached out her hand. It seemed like he was planning on taking Suje, even by force.
But I can’t follow that opinion. I can’t abandon Damian. That should never be done.
Just because he is the main character of the novel? Because he is going to be one of the strongest figures in the world? Is it a shame to lose such a precious person here? Because it seems like it would be a loss?
‘no.’
Rakiel shook his head. It reminded me of a scene from the novel Demon Sword Emperor. He opened his mouth towards the princess.
“If we abandon him here, everyone will be in danger.”
“…yes?”
Adeline’s eyes frowned as if asking what she was talking about. But what I just said is true. It’s true.
If Damian is abandoned here, if he is put on the verge of death from which he cannot escape, if he finally realizes his true nature in a moment of despair… ‘At
that time, I, you, and the entire world ‘Because we’ll be in danger of being incomparable to something like Javilon.’
