The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 25
Episode 25. True Education (1)
“…Who are you?”
I thought it was a quack. Or, I thought he was a dirty-talking doctor. I thought it was just the promoter, Kusman, who sent it to get rid of the skin.
Because they can’t provide painkillers. I’m trying to resolve the situation in case our dissatisfaction grows. I thought he was just the kind of person who was sent to show off that he was showing care and sincerity towards you.
‘So, if the moxibustion or whatever didn’t work, I tried to show you the hot taste.’
I will break both your arms.
That’s what I had promised.
But after receiving all the moxibustion?
Something shocking happened.
The pain disappeared. The terrible pain in the back of my head was truly gone. It was my first time feeling this refreshing and clear.
“You weren’t a quack.”
Damian was truly impressed.
The corners of Rakiel’s mouth rose.
“of course. “What do you think of people?”
Rachiel was internally relieved.
Damian’s expression changed from before. The way I look at this direction also changed 180 degrees.
‘You look like someone who passed an interview at a large company in 10 years.’
Perhaps the moxibustion was effective. No, to be precise, the heat of moxibustion may have damaged the stigma.
‘Actually, the moxibustion I gave you today was just a means. The real purpose was to damage its shape by burning it with heat.’
That was the secret to today’s treatment.
To crush the shape of a stigma by burning it. Destroying the curse in the form of a magic circle within the brand with heat. The intention worked.
‘Of course, it’s not perfect yet.’
The stigma on Damian’s back was large. It was almost the size of an open palm. However, the diameter of the moxa was only 3 centimeters.
So, from now on, you should apply moxibustion at least ten times. Only then can that stigma be completely destroyed. With that fact in mind, Rachiel said.
“Anyway, how about the painful area?”
“It’s okay. Clean and refreshing. “I wonder when was the last time I felt this way.”
“Hmm, I’m not completely cured yet. “I need to receive treatment several more times in the future.”
“Is that so.”
“uh. Blisters will form where the moxibustion was applied. Don’t explode that thing. Since it’s on your back, it may be a bit stinging and uncomfortable when you sleep, but just hold on for a little while. “Don’t overdo it or eat anything too oily until the blisters subside.”
“Do you mean not to overdo it?”
“The idea is to refrain from extreme physical activity.”
“If you do that, sword fighting….”
“You don’t have to. I will make that happen.”
It’s true.
I’m serious.
It will happen soon.
Of course, Damian, who didn’t know this side’s plan, tilted his head.
“Are you saying you will adjust the schedule so that the match is not scheduled?”
“Well, roughly.”
“My promoter, Mr. Koosman, gave permission for that… It must not have been an easy task.”
Damian looked impressed.
He asked with sincere eyes.
“If you do that, who are you? Please tell me your name.”
“I told you earlier that he is the crown prince.”
“…yes?”
“Rachiel Adria Magentano.”
“….”
“Tsk. “It’s true.”
Rachiel smiled bitterly.
Damian smiled as if he understood everything.
“it’s okay. There must be a reason to hide the name. “It’s not uncommon down here.”
“What are you saying to yourself?”
“Even if we part ways now, the next time we meet again, I ask you to tell me your name.”
“I already told you.”
“Not that, your real name.”
“Tsk, you’re answering so openly.”
“yes?”
“That’s it. anyway.”
Rachiel looked straight into Damian’s eyes. For the first time, I erased my smile and spoke.
“From now on, listen carefully to what I say and follow it. No matter what happens here in the gladiatorial arena tonight, don’t run or hide. Stay here quietly. “That way it will be safe.”
“…what do you mean.”
“Don’t even question it. Just stay here. Then you will meet me again soon. You will also know my real name. “You will be able to continue receiving the treatment you just received.”
“Something… is happening here?”
“Don’t worry, just stay in this room and stay quiet.”
“What happens if I break those words?”
“The moxibustion treatment will be over. The pain that disappeared for a moment will come back. “I will never be able to escape that pain for the rest of my life.”
“Is that true?”
“I swear with everything that it is true.”
I said it sincerely.
Damian looked into these eyes for a long time.
I didn’t avoid his gaze.
How long was it like that?
He nodded.
“…All right. “It seems like you are not someone who simply took orders from Mr. Koosman.”
“Well, roughly.”
Rakiel grinned.
I internally clenched my fists.
‘…done. success!’
Fortunately, the most important puzzle of the plan was successfully put together. The request I just gave to Damien. No matter what happens here, don’t run away. Please don’t hide and stay calm.
Making that request was the most important part of today’s plan. In fact, I came here in person to make that request. I took a risk and met Damian, who gave me moxibustion treatment. That’s how I gained a minimum of trust from Damian.
‘That way, if tonight’s plan goes through successfully, I’ll be able to get everything I want.’
The plan you have now. The big picture I drew right after I acquired the medical billing skills. It was a necessary process in order to gain one-sided benefit through it. And he just completed the process successfully.
‘done. Now to the next step.’
Rachiel stood up. I waved goodbye to Damian and coolly left the waiting room.
“Hey, Your Highness?”
As soon as I left the waiting room, Lord Gardin spoke to me as if he had been waiting for me. He has been barraging me with rapid-fire questions as if he wants to be rewarded for keeping his mouth shut and only paying attention.
“majesty? What was that treatment that just killed you? Moreover, why did they go to the author and treat him with lies?… This does not seem to be a safe or legal place… I have no idea what the situation is like tonight.”
“Well, I guess so. “It will have to be that way.”
“…yes?”
“Because you will naturally find out everything in a little while. For now, let’s start with what to do. Please help me.”
“How do you mean?”
“Look for a man with black ponytail. “He must be quite tall and have squinted eyes.”
“Oh, I understand.”
Sir Gardin followed the prince’s words. On the one hand, I had to swallow a lot of questions. I didn’t understand what was happening tonight.
What was even more incomprehensible was the crown prince’s attitude. He must have lived in the imperial palace his whole life. Even then, I must have spent half of that time lying in a hospital bed. Of course, I wouldn’t have the slightest connection to such an illegal underground gladiatorial arena.
‘But… as if he knew this place very well…’
He was acting naturally.
That was strange.
It was a little suspicious and I didn’t understand.
But a question was a question and an instruction was an instruction. Sir Gardin scanned the gladiatorial arena, keeping in mind the impression the crown prince had mentioned.
Tables arranged to make it easy to watch the fight inside the cage. Some people drink and chat. Someone is blowing out cigarette smoke. Someone else was gambling. And in the meantime, I saw a man monopolizing the table.
“Hey, Your Highness? “I think I found it.”
“where?”
“Over there…”
Sir Gardin pointed to the table where the man was sitting so as not to be noticed. Rakiel’s eyes turned towards that direction.
“Hmm.”
I think I found the right one.
Numerous illustrations from the novel Demon Sword Emperor. Among them, there was only one illustration that showed Damian and Kusman together. The appearance of the illustration was almost similar to that of the man with ponytail hair.
‘But it’s too early to be sure.’
First, check.
Rachiel moved quickly. I left the surprised Lord Gardin behind and approached the ponytail man’s table. Before anyone could say anything, I calmly sat down in the seat across from the man.
“….”
The ponytail man’s cool gaze fell. When I met those eyes, I got goosebumps. But he didn’t show it.
This was a place with a lot of snow. There won’t be any random attacks. I used that fact as insurance in my mind.
asked the man.
“Mr. Koosman?”
“I don’t know anyone like that.”
“Then I guess Damian understands. Let me ask you something. “I want to buy Damian Cayenne.”
“….”
“I was wondering if I could give him the money he owed you for the painkillers plus the contract breakup funds.”
“90 billion mazen.”
“….”
“It doesn’t go any lower than that.”
“90 billion would be a lot more money than he would make in his entire life. “Are you serious?”
“If you’re not going to pay, get out.”
“….”
Kusman’s eyes are glaring in this direction.
Rakiel grinned.
“All right. then.”
The purpose was achieved.
This person is Kusman.
After checking, Rachiel stood up. I left the underground gladiatorial arena with Gardin.
Meanwhile, Kusman’s eyes were constantly looking at Rachiel’s back. Soon after, Rakiel’s figure disappeared outside the exit.
“That guy is the first one I’ve seen here.”
Kusman muttered. I moved my hand. His subordinate at the table next to him approached.
“Did you call me?”
“hmm. “Go dig up the skinny guy who just tried to trick me.”
“How far can I dig?”
“What is this guy doing? Perhaps he is a herder hired at a gladiatorial arena. Or maybe he got caught up with another promoter. “If necessary, it is okay to torture.”
“What happens after that…”
“Like always. Break it into small pieces and throw it in the river.”
“All right.”
The subordinate left.
It was from then on.
Kusman completely turned off his nerves about Rachiel. Because the subordinate he sent was that capable. Because once the target was captured, he was kidnapped by any means necessary. After that, he was the one who dug up all the information by demonstrating torture techniques that reached the level of art.
‘three days? We’ll find out within two days at the earliest.’
A guy who used arrogant tricks.
I don’t know whose henchman he is. However, since he was captured by his own subordinate, he should have been considered already dead.
‘Rather, hmm. Damian, how can I make more money by dealing with that guy?’
These days, the supply of narcotic painkillers has become erratic. It was truly a headache.
‘Should we rather reduce the number of gladiators? I guess I’ll have to send some incompetent guys to games they can’t win. Then there will be fewer mouths needing medicine. I guess I can sell the remaining medicine to Damian. Because he gets paid a lot for matches. That means you can get more money for the medicine.’
If you think about it yourself, it’s a great calculation. Koosman raised his drink with a happy feeling. tilted
It was then.
Kwaang-!
A sudden roar.
The entrance door to the gladiatorial arena was smashed.
It was a specially made three-layer thick entrance door to prevent indoor noise from leaking out. However, such a strong door left no trace as if it had exploded.
Everyone in the gladiatorial arena stood up in surprise.
Koosman was no exception.
‘what?’
He looked nervously at the place where the door was. Then, little by little, a blurry shape began to appear through the thick dust.
It was a man’s silhouette.
Particularly familiar to Koosman.
“…Ugh… Ugh….”
One step, two steps in the thick dust. The blood-covered man who stumbled forward fell down. At that moment, Koosman felt a chill as if he had been struck by lightning.
That bloody man is…
“Delic?”
It was his subordinate who had just been sent out.
Why? why? Did that guy end up like that? Who did something like that?
It was then.
“I command this in the name of Crown Prince Rachiel Adria Magentano.”
A sonorous voice echoed through the gladiatorial arena, which had become as quiet as if it had been doused with cold water.
Eventually, the dust cleared.
The appearance of heavily armored troops was revealed.
Gorgeous patterns engraved on their armor.
It was a sign representing the Magentano imperial family.
In other words, their identity is….
‘Imperial Guard?’
Koosman opened his eyes wide.
Why are they here?
A moment of goosebumps and astonishment. Among the heavily armored troops, a dishonest silver-haired man stepped forward. An irresistible command fell from the mouth of the silver-haired man Rachiel.
“Push it all away.”
Sreung!
The guards drew their swords.
Rakiel pointed at Kusman.
“Especially, don’t miss that guy.”
“…!”
Kusman’s heart sank to the 16-beat Jajinmori rhythm.
