The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 381
Episode 381 Cursed Family (2)
Ding Dong!
It comes to mind.
The results of the Jinmaek skill come to mind.
Whenever this happens, I always get strangely conflicting feelings. The strange paradox of being certain that the other person is in pain, but also hoping that your confidence is wrong. However, as I finally see the result window popping up, I feel relieved at the confirmation that my senses have not died.
This moment like now is exactly like that.
[Begin taking the pulse.]
[Scanning.]
[3… 2… 1…]
[The pulse results have been received.]
[Please check the
below.]
I looked down . .
The results of the pulse were below.
[Comprehensive medical examination table]
[Target of examination: Alcantar Asrahan]
[Race: Human]
[Gender: Male]
[Age: 52 years old]
[Height: 187.7cm]
[Weight: 72.8kg]
[Blood type: Rh+ O]
[Comprehensive findings: All in all, a very healthy body. Muscular and motor nerves are extremely developed and close to their innate limits. However, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy due to an unknown cause is detected. We recommend that you refrain from excessive physical activity as much as possible.]
“….”
Rakiel was shocked as soon as she saw the results. As he looked at the Margrave’s complexion, he felt the unique touch of an Oriental medicine doctor. So I used the pulse skill, but I had no idea that hypertrophic cardiomyopathy would occur.
‘Isn’t this kind of bad?’
My eyebrows naturally furrowed.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Simply put, this is a disease in which the wall of the heart, especially the left ventricle, thickens. There are various areas of thickening, including the interventricular septum, central chamber, ventricle, and apex, but all of them have the unfortunate characteristic of causing abnormalities in heart function.
‘of course. As the heart walls become thicker, the space inside the heart narrows. This means that the circulation of blood that has to enter and exit the heart is interrupted.’
Even a little bit of intense physical activity can cause breathing difficulties. Fatigue is the basic feeling, and symptoms such as orthopnea (where you can only breathe properly by sitting and curling up) or paroxysmal dyspnea at night may occur.
Alternatively, angina, heart failure, arrhythmia may cause dizziness or fainting, or in severe cases, sudden death.
It is a serious disease that can literally put your life at risk.
‘Then check a little more. ‘How was everyone’s consultation?’
Rakiel called out the five intestines and six parts who participated in the Jinmaek skill. The answer came back right away.
Ding dong!
[We are reporting the results of your diagnosis after consulting with Alcantar Asrahan’s five-visceral department.]
[Heart: Wow… This is the first time in my life that I have seen the heart as a muscular pig.]
[Lungs: Huh? ]
[Captain: But that human captain is also handsome, right?]
[Liver: Even the liver cells are fine.]
[Stomach: No, in a humane way, if you live your life with that level of beauty, it’s okay to have at least an esophagus or duodenal villi. Isn’t that true
?] [Kidney: But
it’s good-looking, right?] [Spleen: But if we look closely, isn’t it pretty in its own way?]
[Bladder: Yes, it’s like an onion that grew up only after listening to double sex.]
[Ovisceral and visceral report: All of the visceral and visceral areas are firm overall. However, it seems that the heart’s elasticity is too much and the balance is broken. It seems certain that it will become even more damaged as time passes. If we leave it like this, the 60th birthday party will likely be held by taking a numbered ticket in the waiting room of King Yeomna’s career counseling service.]
“….”
Tsk.
I checked just in case, and it was as expected.
‘It’s definitely hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.’
Rachiel looked at the Margrave with sad eyes. He is an unparalleled handsome man, but his physical condition makes it difficult for him to live past the age of 60. How should I tell them about the disease I just diagnosed? Perhaps you already know?
When the Margrave asked the question, it was at a time when my mind was becoming complicated with concerns about being a medical professional.
“majesty? Are you okay?”
“…ah?”
A voice suddenly knocking on my ear.
Rakiel suddenly came to his senses, breaking out of his thoughts. Now that I think about it, the carriage of the Margrave’s family is on board. The interior was plain. But it didn’t matter. The face of the margrave sitting across from me was brightly lighting up the inside of the carriage like a self-luminous diode.
“You looked like you were disturbed a little while ago.”
“….”
As expected, it was obvious.
But that was then.
“Actually, I have heard rumors and praise about Your Highness. “There is no patient that cannot be saved, and it is said that you can find out what disease someone is suffering from just by looking at their face.”
“Oh, that’s it.”
“I guess you want to say that it’s an exaggerated rumor. But from earlier, I felt eyes carefully examining me. From then on, I also noticed that His Highness seemed to be lost in worry. “So I dare to ask… Did you sense something in me?”
“….”
It seems that the Margrave’s insight was quicker than expected. At this point, I can’t hide it anymore.
“Do you, Margrave…”
“It seems you have truly recognized my heart.”
A wry smile appeared on the Margrave’s lips.
“It’s not just my problem. In fact, the very fact of mentioning it like this is something new. “It is the fate of all those who inherit the blood of the Asrahan family.”
“Surely it’s a family history?”
“yes. That’s right.”
The Count’s smile grew even more self-mocking.
“The people of the Asrahan family are no exception. Even if you go back several generations, there are very few people who are over 60 years old. That’s why people in the world call our family cursed.”
“….”
Curse.
If hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is caused by genetic factors…
‘People here may well think of it as a curse placed on a family. ‘It’s quite possible.’
Rakiel recalled what he learned at Oriental Medical School.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is said to be a disease with the greatest genetic factors. In particular, among mutations in sarcomeric genes, mutations in beta-myosin heavy chain and myosin-binding protein C are the most common.
As a result, certain muscles in the heart become enlarged. The space inside the heart becomes narrower. The flow of blood from the left atrium into the ventricle is interrupted. It may even be completely blocked. then? Die.
‘A representative case is hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). It sometimes happens that an athlete who seemed young and healthy dies suddenly and tragically without any signs.’
In fact, people suffering from this type of cardiomyopathy should not engage in vigorous exercise. As physical activity becomes more intense, the heart is overworked, and the likelihood of problems due to the enlarged heart muscle increases explosively.
But what about the people of the Asrahan family?
That wouldn’t have been possible.
A shield that protects the empire.
To fulfill that role, he would have had to undergo intense training and battles throughout his life. That way of life itself may have further encouraged and worsened the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy they had.
‘For example, this is the same as making someone with a respiratory disease work in a mine for the rest of his life. Or, patients with chronic stomach ulcers or hepatitis are forced to have company dinners with drinks every day.’
No, maybe it’s worse.
But the Margrave’s thoughts seemed a little different.
“But it’s okay. “It is also a part of the glory of the one who holds the sword.”
“glory?”
“That’s right.”
The carriage arrived at the Margrave’s mansion before we knew it. The Margrave got off the carriage first and said with a meaningful smile.
“Being born as a spark, brightening oneself and disappearing like a flame. “Isn’t this the life of someone who holds a sword?”
“It sounds like you don’t have much interest in staying healthy and long.”
“You are correct.”
“why?”
“If you are 60 years old, you will be old enough to wield a sword. “Do I really need to explain further?”
“Does this mean that there is no time left for me to die after fulfilling my role as a prosecutor?”
“That is also correct. “It’s nice to talk to you, Your Majesty.”
The Margrave burst into laughter.
But at that moment, Rachiel saw.
A margrave who looks bold at first glance. A faint bitterness appeared in his eyes. The bitterness of someone who compromises in the face of unavoidable reality. The loneliness of a person who swallowed it all back inside, knowing that even if he said it, it would be of no use.
“….”
okay.
Who likes a short-lived fate? Who would even enjoy a situation where not only they but their entire family has to live with the fate of sudden death due to heart disease?
There would be no such pervert.
The same goes for Byeon Gyeom-baek.
However, Rachiel did not show that he knew the Margrave’s intentions. I felt like now was not the time.
‘First of all, let’s start with this business.’
The story of the Margrave’s family is unfortunate, but we are not here to solve it. Even if it cures hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, it will have to come after this business is over.
Actually, if you look at it, it was because the situation here was more urgent.
“So, what do you mean? “I think I’ll soon reveal the reason I came here.”
As soon as she was guided by the Margrave and sat down at the head table in the drawing room, Rachiel opened her mouth. The Margrave’s eyes could be seen narrowing at these words. You’re probably curious. This is why the crown prince himself came here.
Rachiel chose to go straight instead of going in circles.
“I need your family’s multi-manahat art.”
“….”
“I’m not saying I’m going to learn it myself. This way instead. “It would be nice if my bodyguard, Sir Damian Cayenne, could learn the art of Multi Manahat.”
“…Are you serious?”
“of course.”
So we have come this far.
It was a fact that did not need to be emphasized.
But the margrave made no response for a while. Instead, he just stares blankly with an infinitely stern expression. It was after a long period of awkward silence that the Margrave opened his mouth.
“I understand well the business you revealed. So, if I were to give you an answer, it would be impossible to accept His Highness’s request.”
“Impossible? “You’re going to refuse?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“why?”
“I am very sorry to say this, but Multi Manahat is a unique art of our Asrahan Margrave family, and passing it on to outsiders is prohibited.”
“Should such principles be observed, even if it is an order from the royal family?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Why is that again?”
“The Asrahan family shall not be interfered with by any royal family in its full authority to manage arts. This is because the three great emperors of the distant past promised and guaranteed this principle.”
“….”
Was there a setting like that?
Rachiel momentarily forgot what to say in response. Just because I was myself didn’t mean I knew everything about this world. Of course. There is no way to know what is not mentioned in the novel.
Such was the promise of the third emperor that the Margrave had just revealed.
‘Write it. If I do this, will I leave?’
Rachiel frowned.
In fact, when I came here, I thought it wouldn’t be difficult to learn multi-manahat. Because Damian’s ability to learn is enormous. Because it is worthy of being called a genius. Therefore, I thought that even if it was a skill unique to the obscure family, I would be able to master it well.
The Margrave’s permission?
I thought that was easy too.
Because you are the crown prince. I thought that if it was a request from the royal family, I could easily obtain at least one skill. But now I see that such thinking was arrogance and carelessness.
‘Tsk. This was my mistake.’
Rachiel looked at the Margrave, acknowledging his complacency. The Margrave’s handsome face, like that of a Hollywood actor, was already well-dressed with a triple topping of sternness and seriousness. In other words, it was full of stubbornness, as if not even a needle would go in.
The stubbornness that he could never give up his family’s craft. Or decisiveness. What measures should I use to break through the Margrave’s impenetrable attitude?
Rachiel thought for a moment.
It whipped my brain cells fiercely. Brain cells that had been overworked sweated like industrial workers building pyramids. The overflowing sweat drops stimulated the frontal lobe. New ideas and possibilities sparkled, clashed, and combined.
At the end, Rachiel finally remembered. A dirty negotiation trick that involves taking the other person’s most painful weakness and shaking it.
“Whew. Then there’s nothing we can do.”
He put a smile on the tip of his lips. He looked at the Margrave with the eyes of a winner who had regained his composure and spoke.
“Let me make a suggestion.”
“There is no use in making suggestions. There is no need for any negotiation or persuasion regarding our family’s skills…”
“If you can teach Margrave Lord Damian Cayenne the Multi Mana Heart… I will give you your life.”
“…yes?”
“I offer to live.”
Until the age of 60.
Until I pooped on the wall.
Rachiel smiled brightly, her clear eyes sparkling.
