The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 317
Episode 317 Effect of first pairing (2)
[The medical billing (Lv.2) skill is activated.]
‘… has arrived.’
A message that fills your eyes with joy.
[You are the patient: In the process of treating Édouard Amboise, the appropriate use of diet and herbal medicine and acupuncture was demonstrated. He also showed his sincerity by staying by the patient’s side and enduring pain and suffering together.] [
This process created a great resonance in the heart of the patient: Édouard Amboise.]
[This kind of sincerity was the patient’s guardian: the tear glands of many spirits. I was filled with emotion.]
[The nurses at the Villa Oriental Medicine Clinic respect your dedicated treatment.] [The
‘Praise Bonus’ effect is added to the treatment compensation.]
[The effect of the Medical Fee Claim (Lv.2) skill is reduced. It is applied 1.5 times.]
‘…That’s right!’
Rakiel clenched his fists.
The general was not just an ordinary person, but a half-elf patient. It would already give you a lot of bonus life, but on top of that, it’s a 1.5x bonus. My heart was suddenly pounding.
Indeed, the results that emerged were beyond expectations.
[Patient: Edouard Amboise benefited from an extension of his life expectancy of 246 years and 7 months through your appropriate prescription of Gamhwang Sasimtang, diet management, and careful nursing. Accordingly, you are awarded a bonus life equal to 1/1950 of 246 years and 7 months.]
[A bonus life of 45.523 days has been calculated.]
[The tribute bonus effect is added to the reward.]
[The bonus life given to you is Increased by 1.5 times.]
[A total bonus life of 68.284 days was calculated.]
[The minimum unit of bonus life to be settled is 1 day.]
[The bonus life to be settled is rounded.]
[A total of 68 days of bonus life. This will be settled.]
[Your expected life expectancy: 1747 days]
‘…Whoa.’
My breathing suddenly becomes heavier.
It achieved a lifespan of nearly 70 days at a time. What was it like when you first entered Rachiel’s body? At that time, the total lifespan was about 90 days. A life-limited life of three months. It was a pit of despair.
The feeling was new.
‘But…this isn’t the end, right?’
He waited expectantly. As expected, a follow-up message followed.
Ding dong dong!
[Patient: The spirits, who are Edouard Amboise’s old friends, express their sincere gratitude to you.] [
This kind of beautiful story spreads widely in the spirit world.]
[The spirits’ prejudice and dislike of you disappears.]
[ A number of spirits will unblock and block you.]
[With this, you will be able to communicate normally with the spirits you are paired with.]
‘I did it…’
Is this what it feels like to lose a tooth that has been sick for a long time? Or is this what it feels like when you receive a text message that you have passed the loan screening that you have been anxiously waiting for?
The five organs and six parts were also excited.
Ding dong!
[The five organs and six departments praise your accomplishments and hard work.]
[Heart: Huh, this treatment was particularly intense. Suddenly, we even joined in.]
[Lungs: Pulmonology…ㅎ]
[Captain: Really. Wow. I almost crawled on all fours out of exhaustion while eating half-hearted side dishes with the patient;]
[Soy Sauce: On all fours? Then is it four-wheel drive?]
[Camouflage: Not a four-wheel drive? There is no ring.]
[Kidney: If you look closely, there is an areola on the side.]
[Spleen: Aha.]
[The Ojangyukbu donated 500 HP to congratulate you on the success of your dedicated treatment.]
[Currently possessed HP: 21700]
The reward ended here.
‘Wow, honestly, I was a bit confused at first.’
Rachiel glanced at the general with a new feeling. At first it really was like that. Even for a stomach ulcer, it was at a serious level. Because he was a half-elf, he had the strong stomach acid of an elf, so it was a chronic disease he was born with.
There was a time when I felt regret after first hospitalizing him. I wondered if I had been blinded by the bonus life expectancy and had unreasonably recommended treatment.
‘But somehow it turned out well.’
Honestly, the recovery was faster than I expected. Perhaps it’s because the general is a half-elf, so he’s in his mid-50s in human years, but considering his overall lifespan, he still has the body of a youth.
But the general seemed to have a different opinion.
“Crown prince of the empire.”
“Det?”
…Hot!
There was no time to react. Even before I could congratulate him and say that he seemed to be feeling better now. The general suddenly opened his arms and hugged me tightly. And said.
“Thank you…”
At first glance, it seems like a dry tone. However, a slight tremor is transmitted through the forearm that is being hugged. A smile came out without me knowing.
“Did the general hear it before I even told him?”
“…My old friends are telling me this.”
“yes. “Congratulations on your complete recovery.”
“Thank you… thank you…”
The general finally wrinkled his nose. In fact, at first, I did not trust the crown prince at all. I wondered why they had to hospitalize me. I was just suspicious, uncomfortable, and wanted to run away.
But things have changed these days.
I could feel it with my body.
I found out for the first time.
The fact that he has always been frowning for the past 20 years. The fact that there are nights when I don’t wake up to the pain that’s piercing my stomach like a skewer.
It didn’t hurt anymore. I didn’t feel bloated either. That it doesn’t hurt, isn’t bloated, and isn’t sore. For the first time, I realized that something could be this comfortable.
And I know one more thing.
‘It’s thanks to this person.’
It’s thanks to the crown prince’s treatment. It was thanks to the crown prince eating the same tasteless hospital food as him, enduring the inconveniences, and caring for him. Thanks to that sincerity and dedication, his pain disappeared.
So on the one hand, I didn’t understand it.
‘You… why?’
Didn’t he, the crown prince of an empire, refuse such dedication for the health of me, a general of another country? I have no clear purpose or reason. But why did you take such care of me?
‘I guess it’s just mercy and generosity.’
The general did not know the existence of bonus lives. That’s why I was even more impressed. He believed that the crown prince treated him entirely out of humanity or warm mercy.
Dedication without compensation.
Mercy without reason.
Is there any other act so noble?
“Thank you sincerely. “I will never forget this favor, Crown Prince of the Empire.”
“Oh yeah…”
“So just say anything.”
“yes?”
“If you just tell me, I will do you any favor.”
I meant it.
Even if he was the crown prince of another country, he was his benefactor. I can grant at least one request from my benefactor. He thought firmly. That was certainly the case until an unexpected answer came from Rakiel’s mouth.
“yes. “Please stop drinking.”
“….”
“Please stop drinking.”
“….”
“General? “Patient?”
“….”
“You just said that you would grant any request I ask, right?”
“That…”
“Yes?”
“Any other favors….”
“No.”
“….”
“I hope that from this time onwards General Edouard will never drink a drop of alcohol in his life. Oh, please cut down on the spicy food. And-”
“And?”
“You must take the decoction I prescribe for the rest of your life.”
“Yes?”
“It was delicious, right?”
“….”
“Oh, it was good.”
“….”
at all!
The general shouted inwardly. Decoction? Gamhwangsasimtang? It was a drink that could never be said to be delicious. No, to be honest, it was terrible. If I had to use an analogy, it was like licking a sloth’s navel!
“You mean… I have to take it for the rest of my life?”
“yes. “Of course.”
“Why?”
“So we can suppress the excessive action of stomach acid in the future?”
Rachiel said in a very matter-of-fact tone.
“The general’s stomach ulcer is not a disease that is cured once. Because the root cause still remains. “They inherit the genes of carnivorous elves, so their stomach acid is excessively strong, but the mucus that protects the stomach is weak because it comes from humans, who are omnivores, so the fundamental problem is that the balance between stomach acid and mucus is not right.”
“Like you said earlier, if you quit drinking and reduce spicy food…”
“That alone isn’t enough. You need to take medicine and manage it at the same time. “Otherwise, the stomach ulcer will come back soon.”
“Didn’t you hear me clearly?”
“I know what you heard.”
“…Keuheuk!”
In this way, the general’s timid resistance was suppressed in one cue. The spirits laughed as the stomach ulcer disappeared, and Rakiel also smiled happily as he saw his life expectancy increase.

“Ha, it’s not worth it. “It’s rewarding.”
That evening.
Or rather late at night.
Princess Adeline of Amboise trudged through the garden of the villa with a tired face. And I thought. I wonder if it might be too late to visit Dang-suk now.
‘I didn’t know the negotiations would take this long.’
The overall period as well.
Today’s negotiations as well.
I really had no idea it would take this long. Moreover, the emperor’s strict negotiating attitude, which treated this side like catching rats, was getting worse day by day. Thanks to this, after suffering at the negotiation table all day, I became so tired that I just wanted to give up.
So much so that I don’t even have the energy to do personal training.
“….”
Adeline clenched her fists unconsciously.
Now that I think about it, I haven’t been able to do any training these days. It was because I was stuck on that damn negotiation. I felt like my muscles were relaxed. I got nervous. Muscle loss? No, rather than that….
‘Skills… won’t improve.’
It’s been like that since sometime.
To be exact, how long after the Civil War in Amboise ended? Suddenly, my improvement in skills stagnated. No matter how much I trained and tried, it was like that. I felt frustrated, as if I was blocked by an invisible wall. Instead of improving my skills, I felt like I was regressing.
It was a terrible slump.
Of course, I thought that was the case not too long ago. A slump will pass if you try hard. But after coming to Magenta, the ecliptic, the story changed. This was especially true after sparring with the crown prince.
“….”
I thought he was just as weak as the crown prince. However, the night they reunited after a long time, the crown prince who was sparring with them had become a completely different person than before. I could feel it the moment I competed. The crown prince is controlling his strength. He said he was… looking after himself.
I got nervous.
I wondered if I was the only one standing still like this. But no sharp numbers were visible. To make matters worse, it became difficult to find time to train because we were so obsessed with negotiations.
“Haa….”
A sigh flows out again.
Adeline consoled herself. Let’s not fret. Once the negotiations are completed and we return to our home country, we will be able to increase the intensity of training from then on. So today, let’s not get caught up in idle thoughts and just go back to the dorm after visiting the hospital.
‘That way, I’ll be able to sleep early and negotiate with a clearer mind tomorrow.’
To conclude negotiations as quickly as possible. Let’s start with that. Adeline made a promise and walked faster.
It was then.
…Boo!
‘hmm?’
She stopped walking without realizing it.
A sound suddenly came from somewhere. It was heavy and dull. It was familiar and familiar. It was the sound of fists colliding with bodies.
‘why?’
This is the garden of the crown prince’s villa. The sound of a blow being heard in the middle of the night in a place like this. She felt both puzzled and curious. The place where the sound was coming from seemed not too far away.
‘Let me take a moment.’
She glanced at the attendants escorting her. I took careful steps towards the place where the sound was coming from. As the distance got closer, the sound of the hitting became louder and more noisy.
‘Isn’t it just one or two?’
At least ten people.
Adeline pushed aside the thick bushes. Then I saw a clearing across the bushes. Ten werewolf nurses were engaged in a fierce battle with a huge Minotaur.
“…!”
A flowing wolf mane.
A roaring Minotaur.
Huge pulsating muscles.
An extremely violent conflict.
It didn’t seem like it was real.
Still, it was so fierce, harsh, and overwhelming. The moment I saw it, my whole body felt as if it had been struck by lightning. This was especially true when I saw the Minotaur’s movements.
Adeline realized.
‘ah.’
Here was the way to overcome my limitations that I had been so desperately looking for.
