The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 15

Episode 15. My secret strategy (2)

‘Fighting on that bridge? Rather good.’

Rakiel chuckled.

What if the emperor appears like this?

I want to win even more.

But Sir Gardin’s thoughts seemed a little different.

“majesty. This is just too much. No matter how much it is His Majesty’s decision… Still, isn’t this too cruel…”

Sir Gardin was almost crying. I even grabbed this sleeve.

“majesty. You shouldn’t be like this. “How about entering the palace right now?”

“Entering the palace? why?”

“Why? “I have to see Your Majesty.”

“After seeing you?”

“Ask to cancel today’s decision. Or at least ask them to reconsider. You might not know. “Your Majesty may also think differently.”

“Do you think that’s true?”

“…yes?”

“Unfortunately, I think it won’t be me.”

“What does that mean….”

“The confrontation on the Roy-Harvey Bridge that will be watched by tens of thousands of citizens of the capital. Did His Majesty just decide that on a whim? no. “Definitely not.”

“If…”

“It means that it is a decision with political intent and purpose.”

Of course, this would mean that their defeat would be broadcast live to the entire imperial capital. This may mean that the second prince will be seen as a person more suitable to become a future leader.

As a result, the second prince will have a stronger sense of legitimacy.

‘People may pity the loser, but they will hesitate to let the loser rule over them.’

All people’s hearts are like that.

It doesn’t matter what the process of confrontation is. This is true no matter how much pity and pity the losing side receives.

A loser is ultimately just a loser. People will not accept that a loser becomes a leader. In return, the winner of the confrontation will be given great legitimacy.

‘The problem is that everyone except me is expecting the second prince to be the winner.’

Thinking about it, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

The emperor, the nobles, the citizens, the second prince, and even Sir Gardin who was by his side. No one was even thinking about the possibility of victory on this side, even when it was the time of the claws.

‘Well, it’s good that there’s no pressure.’

Rather, I felt relieved.

A resolve was also created to shatter everyone’s expectations(?) of this side’s defeat.

It was from that day.

The day of the showdown is scheduled for 14 days. Rakiel devoted himself to preparations for that day.

‘third time. If I block the 2nd prince’s attacks just three times, then I will win.’

A secret plan I have prepared.

My own calculations and predictions.

Based on that, I created basic stamina for three defenses. I didn’t have a particularly great level of physical strength.

Just three times, really.

I had enough stamina to defend myself three times without collapsing.

“Huh huh.”

At first, I walked down the hallway of the villa.

Slowly, without haste, even if it is slow, without stopping. I walked for 20 minutes. succeded. I rested for 5 minutes and walked again. The walking time increased from 25 to 30 minutes.

My legs, which were so weak, were all covered in blood.

“…ugh.”

The next morning, the hellish muscle pain started. The muscles on the front and back of my thighs, as well as the inside of my hamstrings and buttocks, were screaming. Every time I sat down or stood up, I would moan and my legs would shake.

The highlight of all was going down the stairs. Unfortunately(?) his bedroom was on the second floor.

‘Wow, that’s crazy. This low-quality physical strength! ‘Does this look like I just walked a lot of hallways in one day?’

But I couldn’t give up.

How to defend against the 2nd Prince’s attack that you have in mind. For that, lower body strength was essential.

‘If your lower body is weak or stiff, it’s the end. ‘Because you won’t be able to withstand or endure any shock.’

To do that, I had to build up my lower body strength as much as possible.

‘At least it’s close to the average person’s level.’

I walked and walked to be able to make it.

Come down to the first floor of the villa.

I went out to the garden.

I walked grunting like an old man in the clean air of a beautiful and bright garden.

‘Ugh, damn it!’

Of course, in the meantime, I didn’t forget to eat well. Because of my serious health condition, I couldn’t eat meat indiscriminately. Even his digestive power was poor enough for that.

He instructed the chef at the villa to grind all the food and boil it into soup. I ate every meal until my stomach was about to explode. The circle slots were filled with nutritious soup. And I walked again. I walked and rested, and even though I stumbled, I walked and rested again.

Meanwhile, it wasn’t just the lower body muscles that were screaming.

Ding dong!

[You are overexerting your body by engaging in excessive activity. Excessive overwork can lead to worsening of the condition.]

[Ojangyukbu is dissatisfied with the sudden overwork.]

[They want to leave work on time. I hope you have a beautiful life with evenings. For your health, please maintain work-life balance between the five organs and six parts.]

‘It’s noisy.’

Ding dong!

[The five internal organs have sent you a message.]

[Heart: Hey! men and horses! Everyone dies here!]

[Lungs: Lungs… lungs… lungs… pahak….]

[Captain: Wouldn’t it be good if you completely loosened the sphincter?]

‘…Shut up!’

I crushed all the complaints that came in one after another. This was also a desperate situation. The 2nd Prince was definitely not someone to be taken lightly.

No, no matter how well this side prepared, with secret plans and all, it was difficult to guarantee a guaranteed victory.

‘I just want to give up.’

I was having a hard time right now, so those thoughts came to me often. But it couldn’t be done.

‘no. If we lose here, the second prince will inherit the throne… and he will destroy this country.’

Then, even if this side dies in the war or survives, it will be in vain. It would be a more terrible end than dying in a hospital bed.

I didn’t like that.

‘It’s absolutely not a specification.’

Every time I felt like giving up, I held on with that thought. I walked, rested, and ate, pushing myself to my limits. Nutrient soup from the mana slot was supplied to the entire body from time to time. In the evening, I treated the fatigue of my lower body muscles with acupuncture. And I slept soundly.

One day, two days, five days…

As time passed, each step I took gained strength. As my steps became more stable, my stamina consumption decreased. The amount of time you can walk at a time also increased. As the time increased, more muscles were used, and the tendons and muscles became stronger.

So, when the 13th day finally arrived.

“…after! Whoop!”

Little by little he was able to run.

As a bonus, I also came across an unexpected message.

Ding dong!

[You continued to exercise at an intensity that barely exceeded your body’s limits.]

[During this process, you consistently practiced an ideal form of rest and nutrition, and this process gradually improved your health. .]

[As a result, your cardiorespiratory endurance has slightly improved.]

[Your heart grade has increased.]

[Heart grade: F -> D]

[Your heart beats at a constant beat for 10 seconds even in situations where you have exceeded the limits of physical activity. You can maintain your heart rate.]

[The grade of your lungs has increased.]

[Lungs grade: F -> D]

[Your lungs are able to withstand up to two breaths without being choked even by strong shocks to the chest and abdomen and allow you to breathe. You can maintain it.]

[The heart donated 100 HP.]

[The lungs were very happy and donated 200 HP.]

[Current HP: 800]

‘Huh?’

Rakiel stopped running and his eyes widened.

Increased heart and lung ratings as well as HP support. It was a message that was like a surprise gift that I had never expected.

‘A gift like this is always welcome.’

A happy smile appeared on his lips.

It was rewarding to work hard on my body.

It wasn’t just the level of the heart and lungs that changed.

‘Jinmaek.’

He stopped jumping and used the Jinmaek skill. A welcome message came to mind through my wildly beating pulse.

Ding dong!

[Beginner Comprehensive Checkup]

[Test of Examination: Rakiel Adria Magentano]

[Race: Human]

[Gender: Male]

[Age: 21 years old]

[Height: 176.3 Cm]

[Weight: 58.9 Kg]

[Blood Type: Rh+ O]

‘ Phew, I gained weight again.’

It was still an unsightly feast of shame.

But it’s definitely better than before. He grew 0.1 cm taller and gained more than 5 kilograms in weight.

‘I’m gaining weight. I also gained some muscle.’

I was becoming a little more human(?) than before. What if in the past it was a fine dust anchovy that couldn’t be seen even with a magnifying glass? Now, it had leveled up to the point where it was ridiculed as a nuclear anchovy.

‘Now the showdown is tomorrow. The minimum requirements are met.’

Three defenses for the win.

Prepare for three defenses.

I sweated really hard.

So now was the time to reach the peak of preparation.

“Lord Gardin?”

After finishing his finishing exercise, he called Sir Gardin.

“Bring me a drink. “Only the most poisonous ones.”

“…yes?”

“What are examples? “Is there no alcohol in the villa?”

“Of course there is, but-”

“But?”

“Why are you looking for a great place to drink alcohol?”

“Of course I come here to drink.”

“…Yeh?”

Sir Gardin’s eyes widened.

He answered hastily.

“Are you saying you want to have a drink?”

“uh. So choose carefully and bring it to me. “We carefully selected only the most poisonous ones.”

“….”

“what. why. what. “Why are you nagging me again?”

“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”

“uh.”

“That’s how I learned that people should always live with a flower of hope in a corner of their hearts, no matter what hardships and adversities they face.”

“What does that mean? “Who did I learn that from?”

“From my father.”

“Well, you taught me a great lesson. But I’m not really interested in flowers. sorry.”

“It means that we should live with hope, not flowers.”

“I’m quite hopeful and optimistic.”

“…Zeueoeonhaa!”

“Oh, Mr. It’s a surprise.”

“No matter how worried you are about tomorrow’s match, no matter how scared you are, drink with your body! “And you will only eat the most poisonous things!”

“My ears hurt. “Speak softly.”

“No, that’s right. “Your Majesty, I know.”

“What do you know?”

“The desperate struggle your highness has been showing over the past few days.”

“Uh, lower body and strength training. “What’s wrong with that?”

“I’m sure… He must have worked hard and sweated to shake off his fear. “I have seen and felt the desperate heart struggling to find hope even in the midst of despair.”

“…I don’t think he would have struggled so much.”

“It felt that way to me!”

“Uh, so?”

“I have come to respect you just a little bit!”

“….”

“Even in the face of a future that cannot be resisted! Even as we approach defeat! How sublime it looked as he tried to never collapse! “Do you know, Your Majesty?”

“Hmm, I’m not sure.”

“But I know!”

“Oh my ears hurt.”

“So, Your Highness! Don’t break down now. That body is a strong drink. No, you can. “Even if you are afraid of tomorrow’s confrontation, please maintain your will until the end and face defeat with pride!”

“Proud defeat? Nope.”

“But Your Majesty, even if you lose, you still look proud…”

“I won’t lose.”

“…yes?”

“I will win.”

“….”

Sir Gardin, who was pleading, stopped and looked at his prince.

And without realizing it, I was shocked.

The prince’s expression reflected in his eyes.

“Because we need to win, that’s why we need it. Bring all the strongest drinks.”

That was the face of someone preparing for a deceitful and mean victory rather than an honorable defeat.
