The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 306
Episode 306 Road to return the favor (2)
‘Here we go. Goes. Finally going. ‘There he goes!’
Hot!
Agent No. 3 of the Magentano Imperial Special Intelligence Department clenched his fists in the shadows. I was so happy. It had to be that way. It was thanks to the fact that the entity that had been causing him the most trouble recently was not a thorn in his eye, but was like red pepper powder stuck to his retina, and finally showed signs of leaving.
‘Vampire Lord…’
Where Agent 3’s eyes are directed. The annex garden is about 200 meters away. There was a vampire lord there. He was making something similar to a threat towards the ordinary vampires he met in the garden. And then he was seen turning around with a carefree expression.
Anyone can see that it is the expression of a person who is about to return to his home. Although the distance was far away, he underwent rigorous special training and was able to recognize people’s facial expressions even from a distance of 200 meters.
So, I’m sure.
Now he goes.
I will go home.
Please turn off. No, please go.
‘I want to do some work too…’
Agent 3 sighed involuntarily. On the other hand, I thought about the difficulties I had been experiencing recently.
‘I couldn’t properly observe His Highness the Crown Prince because of that vampire lord.’
It was from the first time Rod came to the clinic. Rod seemed to have noticed this presence as soon as he arrived. Was that annoying? Rod continued to send subtle murderous threats to this side.
A simple threat?
It wasn’t.
The feeling that if it became more of an eyesore, they would dispose of it without even a rat or a bird noticing, gave me goosebumps. So it was. When Rod was around the prince, he couldn’t even get closer than 200 meters. Of course, I couldn’t hear the conversation between the crown prince and the Lord.
That was a big problem.
The Crown Prince must be observed 24 hours a day. Everything that happens around the Crown Prince must be recorded and reported. That was the mission of myself and my teammates. It was his responsibility as team leader to manage that work.
But I couldn’t do it properly. There was a gap in observation for about two hours a day. Every time I had to report to my superiors, I couldn’t even raise my head. I’ve already heard harsh comments from my superiors. If you do something wrong, you may end up having to write a report.
‘So, please go quickly…’
Agent 3 sincerely prayed. On the other hand, I gently harbored a buoyant wish. Now that the Vampire Lord leaves, I will have to observe His Royal Highness more closely. I should also look into the order of eating dessert and report back. Just thinking about this makes my heart flutter and my heart flutters.
It was around the time when I thought…
Sigh….
The Vampire Lord disappeared from the villa garden.
“….”
A flash of light appeared in Agent No. 3’s eyes, which were momentarily relieved. With his excellent tracking skills, he detected the presence of the disappeared Lord. Just because you’re leaving doesn’t mean you can just let it go and say, “Oh, I’m leaving.”
‘You have to make sure where you left until the end.’
He was a major figure who had close contact with the crown prince. What intentions does that person have after leaving the crown prince? You should also roughly track and confirm what you are doing. Only then can the crown prince become safer.
With that thought in mind, Agent No. 3 mobilized all his senses. And I was astonished when I finally found the faint trace of the Vampire Lord.
‘what. ‘Why are you going to the imperial palace?’
Agent 3, who was already on the roof of a building in the city, tilted his head.
A faint trace of the Vampire Lord. The direction the sight was heading was none other than the imperial palace. I thought I had sensed something wrong. But… the more I track and confirm…
‘Huh? really?’
It’s true.
The vampire lord is really heading to the imperial palace. To be more precise, we are heading straight to His Majesty the Emperor’s office!
‘…crazy.’
What on earth are you trying to do? Maybe it was a shady intention. I felt a definite sense of crisis. Agent 3’s movements became urgent.
‘I have to inform the superiors!’
Taaat!
The priority of the mission has changed.
For now, it seems like the priority is to report this situation to higher-ups rather than secretly tracking it. Before the Vampire Lord invades the Emperor’s office. Before an unfortunate accident occurs!
Spa pot!
Agent No. 3 ran like a silent wind. It was a special movement technique acquired after rigorous training and combat. And yet… I couldn’t keep up with the Vampire Lord!
‘Oh my…’
He was even more shocked. The Vampire Lord heading to the imperial palace was unrealistically fast, shattering common sense. Even though I was trying my best to overtake, I couldn’t catch up. No, rather than catching up, his presence was becoming distant.
‘I have to get to the intelligence department first and inform them of this emergency…!’
It won’t work.
It is force majeure.
ruined. No, it’s okay.
Agent No. 3 of the Magentano Imperial Special Intelligence Department muttered, feeling the joy of his job deep in his heart.
‘Honey, I’m sorry. I guess I’ll have to work overtime today as well…’
♣
Overtime.
A business action performed to complete work that had been delayed during the day within the day. Or, the act of replacing people to reduce labor costs for the business owner by not doing something that could have been done by hiring more people. In fact, it is an act of confinement for the performance of duties.
This world of overtime work is harsh.
There is no shame or mercy.
The emperor was no exception to that rule.
“Whew…”
Asterion Testarossa Magentano, Emperor of the Magentano Empire, kept the lights on in his office brightly lit even at midnight on a summer night. It was because there was too much work to be done today.
‘Amboise, will they obediently accept our demands? no. ‘I guess not.’
Papers littered all over the desk. The emperor’s gaze fell on one of them. This phrase was written at the top of the document:
[National compensation negotiation scenario and roadmap for the riots caused by Javilon Flambert Amboise and Amboise’s response prediction model]
“….”
It’s really long.
In summary, it is a preparation for negotiations to hold Amboise responsible for Javilon who broke into the canonization ceremony last time.
‘Even if I summarize it, it’s complicated.’
The emperor shook his head. To be honest, I wanted to sleep right away. But I couldn’t. When morning dawns, Amboise’s envoys will arrive. Compensation negotiations will begin immediately. If you want to get the most out of it, you must review all of these documents within the night.
“Whew. “If this continues, what kind of wealth and fame will you enjoy?”
To be more honest, negotiation was also a hassle. I just wanted to tear it apart and be done with it. But he is the emperor. He is a person who represents the interests of all the people of the empire. Besides, there is no one else who can replace him. So, you have to work overtime to the end without any hesitation.
“….”
Should I give up the emperorship sooner? Are you willing to hand over this position of working overtime every day to your eldest son and enjoy a comfortable old age after retirement?
‘I guess it’ll be okay?’
The emperor smiled slightly at the subtle impulse.
It was that moment.
…Sweet.
The curtains around the closed window swayed slightly as they tried to maintain the cooling spell. The next moment, a young man wearing old-fashioned clothes that I had never seen before appeared in the quiet office. In the shadow of the curtain, as if seeping into this space.
“…!”
The first to react was the emperor’s bodyguard, Sir Roberto. He, who was performing a forced overtime escort with the emperor, brought his hand to his sword the moment the curtain shook.
Spot!
The sword was pulled out like lightning. A blazing red flame formed on the sword. It split the space and rushed towards the intruder. No, I tried to rush in but got stuck.
“for a moment!”
The person who shouted was none other than the emperor. As soon as he shouted, Sir Roberto’s sword stopped. This was only half a span away from the intruder’s neck.
The intruder looked completely unfazed even then. No, rather, he smiled gracefully.
“Emperor of the Human Empire, do you recognize me?”
“…roughly.”
The emperor shook his head faintly.
“Aren’t you the peak lord of the vampire clan?”
“Thank you. “For recognizing me.”
“I have no choice but to find out. “I should have received a lot of reports about Rod, who was hanging around my son every day.”
“Is that so?”
“So it was.”
Wrinkles appeared between the emperor’s eyebrows.
“It looks like Rod received some kind of treatment from my son.”
“Do you even know what kind of treatment it is?”
“no. That’s not it. “Thanks to the Lord for pouring death threats on our informants.”
“Thank goodness. The treatment went well. So now I’m about to leave.”
“But why did you stop by here?”
“I have business to do. “For your son, Emperor of Men.”
“….”
son?
About Rachiel?
But why did you have to come here?
‘why?’
The emperor felt a subtle sense of anxiety. Are you afraid that your safety will be threatened? It wasn’t. At this moment, he was only worried about Rachiel.
‘Could it be that you didn’t like the treatment at the oriental medicine clinic? Even if you say the treatment went well, are you secretly dissatisfied? So you want to protest? Or are you trying to convey a threat to that guy Rachiel through my mouth?’
I became anxious.
At that moment, an unexpected statement came out of Rod’s mouth.
“500 stars. 500 points out of 5.”
“…her?”
“This is my rating for your son’s villa oriental medicine clinic.”
“…Huh?”
“I was happy. It was beautiful and full. It was like that every time I received treatment at the annex oriental medicine clinic run by your son. Thanks to you, my life changed. “I wonder if we can dream of a better future and build happiness.”
“….”
“Before I left the imperial capital, I wanted to personally convey these words to the person who was the father of the benefactor who treated me. That’s why I decided to stop by here.”
“Huh huh?”
A laugh flowed from the mouth of the emperor who was listening blankly. No, it was a comprehensive tap dance of the lip muscles filled with emotions of joy.
It was natural.
Wouldn’t any father be happy if his son’s sincere compliments hit his heart while he was tired from working overtime?
The emperor was like that.
I felt better because it was unexpected.
Moreover, the Vampire Lord’s gift-like remarks did not end there.
“For that reason, I would like to make this suggestion. Lord of the human empire. “What do you think about the blood alliance between your empire and my blood relatives?”
“Good.”
The emperor answered immediately.
As soon as I heard it, I was able to fully understand what it meant. I was also able to realize how huge and valuable this was.
‘What a… a proposal for a blood alliance with the vampire lord.’
Part of me couldn’t believe it when I heard it. Jinhyeol’s Vampire Lord was because he was a mysterious being who had not been revealed to people for hundreds of years.
‘The last thing officially recorded in history was probably a record of participation in the battle to subdue the Demon Dragon Kaisertooth.’
The emperor recalled the records in the imperial library.
Strictly speaking, it is said that the Vampire Lord has some connection with the distant ancestors of the empire.
Gafel, an ancient territory from 1,000 years ago. I heard that there was a connection there through Dragon King Berkis.
‘But that was just a thing of the distant past.’
It was so long ago. Now it is just a record that few people even remember. However, the vampire lord who visited him today presented him with a proposal for a blood alliance. As if he were showing his gratitude to his son and repaying the favor.
So, you should take this offer.
You would be a fool to miss this opportunity.
“We, Magentano, are bios who strongly agree to the blood pact with the great vampire lord.”
“Okay, thank you. “For graciously accepting the offer.”
“If so, can I prepare an agreement regarding the clan? Maybe in about two days…”
“No. “There is no need for human documents.”
Lord Hildert shook his head and laughed. And I thought of a country knight who used to wear flowers in his hair in the distant past in the Garpel estate. He said, feeling a sense of wonder as he looked at the emperor, who was that man’s distant descendant.
“I made a suggestion and you agreed. “That’s enough.”
“exactly?”
“yes. “Because that is what a true covenant is.”
After completing his business, Lord Hildert took a step back. And then it disappeared as if it were disappearing into the shadow of the curtain.
“Someday, if you are in trouble, I will come to your aid. “I wish there were no days like that, if possible.”
That was the end of those words.
Hildert’s appearance and presence completely disappeared. He had left.
“…Whew.”
The breath he had been holding came out loudly from the emperor’s mouth. He looked to the side.
“Sir Roberto.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Could you please leave my seat for a moment?”
“…I will follow your orders.”
Just before leaving the office, Sir Roberto looked at the emperor with sad eyes for a moment.
The emperor suffers from working overtime every day. And now, the emperor has faced a gigantic being called the Vampire Lord.
It must have been difficult to withstand that presence. Even though the road was favorable, the pressure of its presence does not disappear. I guess they don’t want to show those around them how exhausted they are after enduring it.
‘Asta. You’ve always been like this.’
Pretend to be strong in front of others. I embrace my tender heart alone. His friend who carried such a huge empire.
‘I hope you cheer up today too.’
The faithful captain of the guard left his office, heartily encouraging his old friend and emperor. So the emperor was left alone.
I rested my arms on the desk in the empty office, lowered my head, and shook my shoulders as if I was sobbing silently.
To endure the aftermath of a huge presence that had to be dealt with without preparation?
no.
In fact, it was because I was enduring a frivolous celebration of joy.
‘Hehe hehe… Hehehe! My son is Rachiel, that guy…! Haha haha!’
Now he has been recognized by the Vampire Lord! I heard compliments! He even achieved a national feat by forging a blood alliance with Jinhyeol’s clan! whopping! my son! Rachiel!
It was great.
I was so proud.
Both of the Emperor’s nostrils fluttered to the left right 16-beat Jajinmori rhythm.
In this way, the emperor performed a silent shoulder dance for over 30 minutes. Of course, the overtime work that followed was done with energy, forgetting about fatigue.
And the next morning.
“…It’s been a while since the ecliptic Magenta.”
Princess Adeline of Amboise, the representative of the envoys for national compensation negotiations, looked at the streets of Magenta, the imperial capital, with eyes filled with emotion. And on the other hand, I thought.
The crown prince…it must have been a while.
