The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 222

Episode 222 A bundle of secrets (2)

I don’t like cucumbers.

When you eat it, it tastes very fishy. Others say it’s not like that.

They say it’s cool. I don’t know why I’m the only one who feels dirty. Because it’s been that way since I was very young.

Thanks to you, I don’t like cucumbers.

I feel nauseous when I eat it. Mom said it wasn’t like that. You asked me why I was complaining about the side dishes. I don’t even know why I feel nauseous. Because it just happened every time I ate it.

That’s why I don’t like cucumbers.

I keep thinking of my childhood. The day I complained because I hated seasoned cucumbers and got scolded severely. I remember my father’s hand calming me down while I was crying.

It reminds me of a slightly sour-smelling alley on an early summer night when we were walking together holding hands.

“Wow.”

Rachiel suppressed nausea. At first, I didn’t understand why I was nauseous.

I think I was just in a very deep sleep. So actually, I was having a dream. But why?

It was then.

…Ding dong.

Because I couldn’t fully wake up, a clear alarm sound rang through my dazed consciousness. What is happening? I looked up.

Is it because I closed my eyes for too long? The sight before my eyes was still hazy. Nevertheless, surprisingly, the pop-up notification window was clearly visible.

‘compensation?’

The word ‘compensation’ written on the pop-up was the first thing that caught my eye.

Thanks to you, I tilt my head again. What did I do that they are giving me a reward? Or rather, what happened before I fell asleep?

I searched for memories. Like stumbling through a hazy fog. Or like rummaging through drawers in a dark room with the lights off. I touched the pieces of memory that were at the fingertips of my consciousness. Then it dawned on me little by little.

‘ah.’

An undead army that committed suicide. A collapsing canyon. The fallen self. Damian jumped down together. A demon of reverse blood. Awakening. Demon King. And….

‘I made eye contact with the awakening Demon King.’

In the end, I couldn’t avoid that gaze. I was faced with an irresistible death. I also remembered Damian’s hand reaching out at that last moment.

Did that hand receive me? Or was it an illusion? I can not know. What happened after that?

Why is Damien looking at me like that?

“…Your Majesty, are you out of your mind?”

The guy is sitting next to me. I am lying down. So, was he guarding my bedside? So am I safe? I guess it seems like that.

But why is Damian doing that?

So, this is my first time seeing him cry.

I thought it was an illusion.

I thought I saw something wrong.

But it wasn’t.

I heard his eyes gradually becoming clearer. Gradually it became clearer.

Damien’s eyebrows trembled slightly. Eyes that seem to be wet and shimmering beneath them. The tip of my nose was red because I couldn’t hide it.

“Why are you crying?”

“No, Your Highness.”

“Why not? “That’s right.”

“…Because Your Majesty has finally opened your eyes.”

“Then why don’t you cry and be happy like that every morning?”

“Because it was the first morning like that in 10 days.”

“huh?”

I paused unconsciously. Ten days. Did I lie there for that long? Damian didn’t look like he was joking.

“majesty. “Your Majesty has now opened his eyes for the first time in ten days.”

“…I?”

“yes.”

“And you?”

“yes?”

“Are you okay?”

I asked sincerely. I suddenly felt worried. If the incident in the canyon happened ten days ago, what was the guy’s condition during that time? What happened to all the demon kings who awakened?

“Of course I…”

Damian Cayenne hurriedly wrinkled the bridge of his nose. There was no other reason. If I didn’t do that, I felt like tears would fall from my puffy eyes without my knowledge.

I did not dare to show tears in front of my lord. Even if the lord, who had been in a coma for 10 days, woke up and immediately asked about the well-being of a single bodyguard. Even though I was moved by that heart.

I felt like I couldn’t dare to show off like that. It was natural.

Because I am not qualified to be an escort. Because it’s disqualification. Because I crossed a line that should not have been crossed. Because it is right to atone. No, even for atonement, I am in a position to ask for permission.

“it’s okay.”

Of course it should be okay. Even if you are not okay in front of your lord, you must be okay until the end. That is your mission and your minimum responsibility.

‘Because I… dared to strangle my master.’

Damian lowered his head. I couldn’t forget what happened 10 days ago that day.

He jumped into the canyon to save his master. Although he fought against collapse, he was unable to protect his master until the end. No, in the end, he actually tried to harm his master.

Awakening.

Demon King.

Even an unexpected runaway.

It was something outside of my will. I fought back with great effort, but it was impossible. I was unable to do anything, weighed down by the unstoppable mythical presence.

But no reason can be an excuse. In any case, it was his own grip that strangled his master at that time. I almost killed my lord.

The evidence was the yellow bruise on the master’s neck that had not yet healed.

“How about you, Your Highness, more than me? “Is there anything uncomfortable?”

“Hmm, I’m uncomfortable with your attitude.”

“…yes?”

“Why have you become so friendly?”

“Yeah…”

I’m thinking of leaving now.

Damian couldn’t bear to say anything. But it was honestly sincere. He was the one who almost killed his master.

I felt like I was no longer worthy of protecting my master. Feeling impulsive? Absolutely not. This was the thought that my lord had for the past ten days while he was lying in bed.

So I waited for the crown prince to wake up.

He says he is not qualified and will just step down. I was determined to tell my lord directly and leave after receiving permission.

He also thought that this was his proper duty for the grace he had received.

But…

“….”

When I tried to say it, my mouth wouldn’t come out. I was reluctant. I didn’t want to leave. I wanted to continue to stay by my master’s side.

I felt like I was being shameless and selfish, but that was my honest sincerity.

“Are you really okay?”

“….”

The crown prince tilts his head in this direction. My lord. I was truly proud to be able to protect you through this time.

But now I must leave. They found out my identity. I couldn’t stop the reverse blood flow. I don’t know when something like that will happen again in the future. I don’t know when the entity lurking inside me will awaken again.

So I am afraid.

With my own hands…

“You think you don’t want to hurt me, right?”

“…!”

Damian’s eyes widened.

How did you read my thoughts?

Rachiel stopped laughing.

“I can see everything, I can see everything. “What are you thinking?”

It was true.

Now I understand why Damian does that. It was thanks to the five organs and six parts. My heart told me.

That black-haired escort has been by my side for the past ten days. There’s something I’ve muttered to myself a few times in the meantime, like a sigh.

My heart heard it, remembered it, and passed it on to me.

Thanks to this, everyone was able to know what Damian was thinking and why he had such sad eyes.

It was a pity.

On the one hand, my heart sank.

‘Are you going to leave me? ‘That’s nonsense.’

He must stay by my side unconditionally. That’s the only way for him to survive and for me to survive. The reason is? Simple.

Because you have to be by my side to prevent the coming of the Demon King. Because we have to stop it together.

‘Then first of all… I guess I’ll have to change my decision to quit my job.’

The most urgent task appeared.

So I moved the compensation pop-up window to the side. Of course, I didn’t forget to take a quick look at the pop-up content.

〈Unconfirmed reward notification list〉

[Mana heart creation]

[Spleen (spleen) open]

[Five organs and six organs – Five organs collection quest completed]

[Five elements circulation system opened]

[GDP acquisition]

[Others, etc. [This, that, this, this, blah blah…]

“….”

Honestly, I want to open everything right now and check. For now, the priority is to catch Damian, who is trying to leave the company on his own, so I’ll leave it for later.

‘Let’s check later when we’re alone and quiet.’

I folded my regrets and kept it to one side. I cleared my eyes and looked at Damian. I carefully prepared a message to keep him by my side. He said it naturally.

“Is it because of the Demon King?”

“….”

I stabbed him straight. The guy’s shaking eyes. He continued without giving any time to rest.

“That day, you too must have felt its presence inside you. Thanks to you, I must have been anxious. You probably felt anxious and guilty about what you might do in the future. He must have been blaming himself for losing the right to protect me. Am I right?”

“…Yes, Your Highness. “On the one hand, I was curious.”

“How long and how much did I know?”

“yes.”

Damian nodded.

“I finally found out that the reason Your Highness had banned the Blood Mana Trial and the reason he hesitated to throw me into danger was because of the existence of the Demon King.”

“okay. “I guess so.”

Thanks to you, it must have been confusing. You probably realized most of the facts. You must have been shocked. Because I learned the truth that most of the memories I had accumulated throughout my life were created and manipulated.

Memories of childhood too.

Memories with my mother too.

How would that person feel if they found out that all of that was a lie?

But I didn’t go out of my way to pat Damien. That’s not something he would want either. Instead, I gave him the answer he really wanted to know.

“Then tell me honestly. Everyone knew it from the beginning. Your identity too. Even the being inside you. every.”

“Everyone…”

“Yes. That was the biggest reason I had you by my side in the first place. “Because I wanted to somehow prevent a situation like 10 days ago.”

“Then Your Highness…”

“How did you know that? It’s simple. “I would have already talked to my guardian angels.”

I calmly told a lie. I referred to the whisper reports provided by Ojangyukbu in real time.

I glanced at the handkerchief soaked in cucumber juice that was placed by the head of the bed.

“That one. You woke me up using cucumber juice, just like my guardian angels told me to do. Right?”

“yes.”

“If you do that, now I will believe in their existence.”

“It’s still a little bit… I don’t understand everything.”

“okay. Probably so. Because I was like that at first too. “Because it was like that on the day when they informed us of your existence and warned us of the disaster that would occur because of you in the future.”

“Disaster…”

Damian’s eyes wavered slightly.

done.

It works.

When shaking works, just cook.

It hit the core.

“That’s why. Damian Cayenne. “I hope you don’t leave my side on your own.”

“But your highness. “I…”

“I know. It’s dangerous. You never know when that being will open its eyes again and destroy the surroundings. So you must be anxious. But still. “If I can prevent that disaster only if you stick close to me, wouldn’t that be enough of a reason for me to hold on to you?”

“…Can I be honest with you?”

“However much.”

“I don’t understand.”

“What is it?”

“Your Majesty seems confident that you will be able to stop that enormous being.”

“uh. Well done. Because I’m confident.”

“…Is there a way?”

“of course. “Can you hear me?”

“please.”

Damian adjusted his sitting posture. A faint smile appeared on Rachiel’s lips.

“good. First, let me tell you the most basic things. Starting with the detailed identity and purpose of the mythical being lurking within you.”

It was from then on.

From Rachiel’s mouth, the bundle of secrets she had kept to herself began to unfold.
