The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 241
Episode 241 Terrifying Patient (1)
“Rihan… Military Doctor….”
A small whisper. Fragments of memory flicker among them. Javilon narrowed his blurred eyes and desperately rummaged through the drawer of memories.
It wasn’t easy.
It was because the drawer was broken.
‘I…’
I remember hearing that name. The name of Surgeon Lee Han keeps coming to mind. why? Because I just heard that song.
‘My hand… the weak hand… my hand… the weak hand…’
A strange song. The beat and chorus somehow sounded exciting. I felt comfortable listening to that. It didn’t hurt. It was a feeling of relief for the first time in my life. Maybe it resembles a form of happiness.
I wanted to enjoy it for the rest of my life.
I always wanted to keep it by my side.
I never wanted to have it taken away.
To anyone.
however.
‘I…’
Why did I lose him?
No matter how hard I tried to remember, nothing came to mind. It’s because the drawer of memories is broken. It felt as if a hole had been opened somewhere in my head. It felt like important memories had slipped through that hole.
The reason was simple.
‘It hurts…’
My head hurt like it was going to break. Even just breathing hurt. He had suffered from headaches his entire life, but the pain now was worse than before. The dimension has changed. It was because of the aftereffects of a merciless magic experiment.
‘Bad people….’
Magic laboratory.
As soon as he remembered that place, Javilon shrugged his sturdy shoulders. Just thinking about it filled me with fear. I didn’t want to be dragged away again. The numerous magic experiments I had to undergo there were terrible, but the expressionless expressions on the people’s faces throughout the experiments were even more terrifying.
‘I…’
I didn’t want to go through something like that. I don’t think I did anything major wrong. But then they push people into ice pits all day long. Throwing it into a roar that will drive you crazy. Force-feeding them various medications. Crumple it up in the dark. That’s how I devoured my thoughts.
“…Hmm.”
I was out of breath.
No, my breathing became excessively fast.
Once I took a breath, I couldn’t let it out. I felt like my lungs were going to explode. I can’t breathe. I feel like dying. I feel like I’m suffocating in the air like this. help me. help me. Someone please save me!
“…Gaaaaaaaa! Cool look! Cough! “Kuch kuluk!”
A breath barely released like a scream.
A couple of cats that were wandering around the entrance of the alley were startled by the sudden change and ran away. As I watched the running back, a moment in my lost memory came to mind like a vision.
The back of me running away.
The back that left me and ran away.
who?
Surgeon Lee Han.
betray me leave. At the end….
‘Fight with me.’
It was like that.
It seems like we fought back. It seems like they were fighting with a shield full of cold. Then a guy with black hair appeared. Blocking my path with emotionless eyes. okay. I hate emotionless eyes. harassing me Doing an experiment. Staring at me coldly.
“….”
I want to kill him.
miss you.
But I was thinking of someone. It just so happened that I remembered that horrible mental laboratory.
By the way, who am I…?
“Jabilon.”
okay.
I am the great rebel of Amboise.
Javilon came to his senses for a moment, and his eyes became cold. In the moment of rationality he regained, he was able to recall how he had ended up in an alley in this unknown small town.
Escaped.
In a terrible magic laboratory.
He almost died in the process, but miraculously managed to escape in the end. Of course, there was also a price to pay. I suffered from terrible aftereffects. Other than brief moments of searching for reason like this once every few days, I was almost completely out of my mind…
“Who was Rihan…?”
His eyes became blurry again.
But before I knew it, my body was slowly waking up. Unlike his blurred eyes, he began to walk with a clear purpose.
“Rihan… Surgeon….”
We need to find him.
Because it’s mine.
Because it has to be mine.
I need to keep him by my side forever and make him heal me.
“So… Ecliptic… Magenta….”
I have to go to where he is.
Of course, I’m not sure where the ecliptic magenta is. But it doesn’t matter. If you keep walking, you will get there someday. At that time, if I find Dr. Lee Han, this time I will definitely…
‘I won’t miss him.’
Step by step…
The fallen rebel Javilon took his first blind step towards Magenta, the ecliptic.

“Doctor? “I would be willing to die as long as I could receive medical treatment from Your Majesty.”
“Oh, that’s a bit…”
“Yes? “Why not?”
“No, I’d rather say no.”
This is the annex oriental medicine clinic in the early morning.
In the internal medicine clinic there, Dr. Valentino had to smile awkwardly as he welcomed his first patient of the day. It’s often like this these days. This is a situation where the patient immediately enters the treatment room and begs His Royal Highness to receive treatment.
“Your Majesty only accepts seriously or critically ill patients who truly require appropriate treatment. So, I think it’s best to first look at the patient’s symptoms.”
“Ah… but…”
“Are you having any trouble getting treatment?”
“No, that’s not it… but doctor?”
“yes?”
“It took me two days to reach the imperial capital.”
“yes.”
“I really want to receive medical treatment from Your Majesty.”
“…Ahaha. I can also provide good treatment. “If you have a disease that is beyond my ability, I will of course send it to you.”
“Is that so?”
“yes.”
Valentino nodded.
For some reason, the bitter smile kept getting thicker. It’s been like this these days so I’m used to it. He spoke softly to the middle-aged patient, who looked embarrassed. Making full use of a phrase that has now become a habit in my mouth after saying it countless times over the past few days.
“The patient should consider himself lucky to be here and sitting across from me like this.”
“yes? “Why?”
“It would mean that you have a less serious illness.”
“Ah….”
“As I told you a little while ago, only those with serious and critical illnesses are selected to enter Your Majesty’s medical office. “It means that these people are very sick.”
“Then…”
“Yes, let’s do the examination here first. First of all, I think it’s right that you don’t want to have to see Your Highness again, right?”
“Oh yes…”
Only then did the patient finally agree.
The sight made my appetite feel slightly bitter.
This was all because the crown prince’s reputation had risen too high. In particular, the recently launched pain clinic was decisive. Heat and cold compresses. In addition, my hand is touched by the crown prince’s touch, even down to my ring finger.
When listening to that delicious and mysterious(?) song, the pain of the sick patients would disappear as if it were a lie. No one knew the principle except the crown prince. That’s why it felt even more mysterious.
Thanks to this, the rumor spread not only across the imperial capital but also to every corner of the empire’s territory and even beyond the border. It is said that even dying people can be cured if the crown prince of Magenta touches them. Even though he is not a priest, he performs miracles every day.
For that reason, the recent villa oriental medicine clinic is literally crowded. It became crowded with patients coming from all over the country.
Of course, the doctors employed at the oriental medicine clinic were also dying(?). It became hectic. In the meantime, I had to spend all day persuading and soothing patients who begged to be treated by the crown prince.
‘Whoa.’
A soft sigh flowed from Valentino’s mouth. How many more patients will I have to comfort and persuade today? I hope no stubborn patient gets caught today.
Such thoughts were not limited to ordinary doctors. Sir Gardin, who had already become the deputy director of the villa’s oriental medicine clinic, also found himself immersed in his own worries.
“Hey, Your Highness?”
“huh?”
“I… have something to tell you.”
“I’m eating lunch?”
“I don’t have time to talk to you except at times like this.”
Lord Gardin spoke cautiously to the crown prince across the table. It was true. These days, everyone has become very busy due to the influx of patients. The crown prince was also the same. Because it was difficult to even talk to me other than at times like this.
Fortunately, Rachiel also understood Sir Gardin’s feelings.
“You’re doing this because it’s something important, right?”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
“I haven’t given permission yet?”
“Still, I think you’ll listen.”
“okay. “What’s going on?”
“Your Majesty, there are so many serious patients these days. “How about… selecting patients separately?”
“huh. no.”
“…yes?”
“Did I open an oriental medicine clinic to select patients? “If I had planned to collect it separately, I would have charged the medical expenses a long time ago.”
“But Your Highness.”
Sir Gardin’s tone became earnest.
“I don’t know if your highness knows, but…”
“Patient reservations are so backed up that there are even patients waiting at the Imperial Inn for over five days? “I know.”
“Then… do you have any other measures?”
“of course.”
Rachiel said while chewing on her salad.
“From the time we receive reservations, we will rank patients according to their level of emergency. If an emergency patient waits due to a backlog of appointments, it can be difficult. Instead, we should set rules. “If it is not an emergency, but it is discovered that you have made false information and received a quick turnaround, you will be disqualified from receiving treatment at the Detached Oriental Medical Clinic.”
“Can’t you just… select patients from the beginning?”
“huh. “I said it couldn’t be done.”
“Why?”
Sir Gardin did not understand. I could never understand why the crown prince was so obsessed with medical treatment. Moreover, with his status as the crown prince, he would be able to select as many patients as he wanted. Still, no one can blame me.
‘But why do you insist on such a difficult task?’
Is it perhaps because of the desire to care for the people a little more? Maybe so. Maybe that’s why he’s a more respectable person.
… While Sir Gardin was thinking as he pleases, Rachiel was laughing.
‘Of course it’s because of the bonus life!’
You can select patients and receive them. Honestly, that’s okay. However, among the patients filtered out in that way, there may be patients who are truly in critical condition but no one recognizes them.
I didn’t like that.
Moreover, I suddenly remembered a doctor I met in Korea. He was a cancer specialist whom I met by chance through an acquaintance. He belonged to one of the Big 5 hospitals in Seoul. One time I heard something impressive from him.
‘I don’t know about other hospitals, but he said that his hospital never screens or discriminates against cancer patients who transfer from other hospitals. You shouldn’t refuse a patient. The hospital he is in is said to be the last place he comes to after trying all kinds of cancer treatments across the country, as if grasping for the last straw. But if they refuse, the patients will have no one to rely on.’
The doctor seemed really cool when he was talking about it. It was an attitude of wanting to learn. It was the same now as well.
“These are people who heard rumors about me and came with a feeling of grasping at straws. But does it make sense to filter it out? no. Even if it means I become busier.”
“Is that so….”
“Uh.”
…Of course, it’s not me who’s actually getting busier, but other doctors at the oriental medicine clinic.
Rakiel had a hard time swallowing the truth(?) contained in the backstory. That’s what they hired me to do. They provide a variety of bonuses and welfare benefits.
‘You have to work as much as you get!’
…a thorough entrepreneurial mindset!
Of course, Sir Gardin, who did not know Rachiel’s true intentions, was once again overcome with emotion. The fire of motivation that had been exhausted by the influx of patients was rekindled. I promised myself again that I would work harder at the afternoon treatment.
However, Sir Gardin’s resolve was cruelly shattered the moment he met the first patient of the afternoon.
“What is it with a brat like you?”
“….”
What is this patient?
Why does he say something like that as soon as he enters the treatment room? Why are you looking at me like you’re looking at a bug with those arrogant eyes?
Besides…
“Hehe. The young patient speaks too much. “Your Majesty only sees patients who are truly in critical condition, so let’s start here for examination…”
“This great body did not come to receive treatment from someone like you whose name I do not know. “Bring the crown prince immediately.”
“…yes?”
“Didn’t you hear? “Bring the crown prince.”
“The patient over there?”
Lord Gardin really struggled to keep his smile.
“I don’t think the patient knows where he is or who His Majesty is…”
“I know. It is a villa where the royal family stays, and the crown prince, a member of the royal family and heir to the imperial family, leads the hospital here. That is why this great body came here in person to receive medical treatment from the crown prince.”
“….”
Is this fucking crazy guy?
Sir Gardin barely managed to hold back the absurdity that was about to evaporate. And then I looked at the patient in front of me with new eyes.
I was young. At first glance, it seemed like he would never be older than his mid-20s. The attire was quite flashy. However, other than that, there was no trace or sign of high status.
No, no matter how high your status was in the first place, you would never be higher than the crown prince.
‘What on earth is this person?’
Am I really crazy? Did he come to the oriental medicine clinic because of severe mania? As I thought about that, the anger that had come for a moment subsided. Instead, I was filled with sad feelings.
“Whoa, patient? Mental pain is never something to be ashamed of. We must not lose hope. So, why don’t you start by consulting with me step by step?”
“…what?”
“it’s okay. “Don’t be anxious.”
“Are you crazy?”
“yes?”
“Do you think I’m mentally ill?”
“Oh, I’m not saying that’s the case in particular. But the treatment of all diseases begins with diagnosing and acknowledging the condition, so please calm down a little…” “
This great dragon, Portis, suffers from a mental illness or something. “It seems like it is?”
“Yes?”
“Do you want to die?”
“….”
I’m so frustrated that I want to die.
What kind of crazy shit came here?
Sir Gardin closed his eyes tightly.
Of course, he had no idea.
The truth before your eyes: The frightening fact that the patient’s self-introduction(?) is sincere, true, and extremely honest.
