The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 414
Episode 414 The incitement goes like this (1)
“Dare!”
Sigh-!
Rakiel’s whip hit the Vice Minister’s face with a full swing. At that moment, the assistant director had to feel as if his cheek pads and lip gums had been kindly taken apart and reassembled.
“Wow!”
I collapsed. No, I couldn’t even realize that I had collapsed. Has the face disappeared? Or has the sky disappeared? I felt dizzy. I touched the ground and suddenly the sole of my foot knocked on my forehead.
Quang!
“Gyeong!”
It wasn’t an illusion. The soles of the crown prince’s boots were pressing down on my forehead. The assistant director struggled. But it wasn’t enough. He didn’t have enough strength to remove the prince’s foot, which was pressing down on his head.
This was because Rakiel decided to press down on it with his weight.
“….”
Honestly, I want to kill him halfway.
Rakiel thought as he looked down at the Vice Minister. But on the other hand, I made a promise to myself. Really, let’s not do that. Now is the moment not to do that.
‘Let’s not lose our senses.’
That’s the way the world is. Even if you get angry, if you lose your reason, you will most likely lose money. Even while working, profits and losses must be thoroughly calculated. You must always monitor the situation and not be swayed by emotions. That way, you can get what you want by crossing your fingers.
That was the situation right now.
‘You have to look at each angle carefully.’
Rachiel quickly checked the surrounding atmosphere. Is this the result(?) of hitting and trampling on the assistant director? Everyone in the square was frozen with wide eyes. There were also people who tried to pelt the priests with stones. Citizens who tried to free the women hanging at the stake. Even the women who were being released to them.
‘First of all, it was successful in attracting attention.’
Rachiel looked down at the struggling Vice President. This moment, when the entire square was engulfed in dead silence, was an opportunity. I opened my mouth, thinking not to miss that.
“hey. “You are a priest.”
“Okay! “Ugh!”
“As a priest, don’t you have a responsibility to spread the word of God and to care for and respect people more than anyone else?”
“What… sophistry!”
“It’s not sophistry.”
I burst into laughter without realizing it. With one hand, he pointed to the old woman sitting next to him.
“Is this person an unbeliever?”
“That’s…”
“Rather, aren’t you the mother of a proud son who dedicated himself to serving in the military to protect the border from the empire of unbelievers?”
“What is that?”
“I’m right.”
“….”
“But why did such a great person have to be treated the same way by you, a priest? “I just don’t understand.”
“What do you want to say! “Prince of the unbelievers!”
“I’m questioning your qualifications as a priest.”
“…What what?”
The adrenal enema was completely solidified. okay. It would be absurd. Hearing that a priest’s qualifications are in doubt is absurd in itself, since I heard that from a non-believer. Even in front of countless believers.
But Rachiel did not stop speaking.
“Even as a non-believer, I can see the irrationality in your actions. Was I wrong? “That’s right.”
“Which one is right… ugh!”
The retort that was about to burst out was cut off by gently applying force to the foot and pressing down on the pinna of the ear. And he only threw out what he had to say one-sidedly.
“I heard that your doctrine forbids receiving physical treatment from non-believers. But he said he didn’t usually follow it properly. Everyone is. On a daily basis. “Isn’t that right?”
The last question was addressed to the citizens who were watching. Perhaps because it was a sudden question, no one was willing to answer. Everyone just looked at me in dumbfounded silence.
But that was enough.
In this situation, simply not denying the question posed by the non-believer was already enough of an answer.
“okay. that’s right. Just as no one could deny what I said just now, in reality, everyone was treated well by non-believers. And he said that after he gets better, he goes to a priest like you and offers prayers of apology and repentance and donations. stealthily? no. Frankly. To the extent that such donations account for a significant portion of the prayer center’s operating funds. Even the director Shin, who was always so strict about doctrine, even allowed the cavalrymen to receive treatment at the prayer center this time?”
Of course, I didn’t really allow it.
Actually, that’s not important right now, so I’ll pass on the trivial truth(?).
“On the topic of non-believers… what… do you want to say… ugh!”
“Listen to me until the end.”
I put my weight back on and cut off the assistant director’s words. I asked, looking straight down into his eyes.
“But you were different. Strangely enough, in this case alone, they insisted on their doctrines very tightly and showed no compromise or flexibility. Thanks to you, you have no idea how surprised I was today. So I’m asking. Are you, by any chance, in cahoots with that monster that is preying on the city from outside the tabernacle?”
“…what?”
“No matter how you look at it, that’s the most reasonable inference.”
“What nonsense is that!”
“What nonsense. “You can’t help but think that way.”
Rachiel replied calmly and looked at the citizens. Is it because of what he just said? Citizens all began to murmur. It was just right.
He did not miss the momentum(?).
“lets think. The cavalrymen fought with all their might to protect the city from monsters, and several of them were seriously injured and left on the brink of death. What if they die without receiving proper treatment? This city’s power will be weakened accordingly. And the weaker it becomes… the more likely it is that this city will be trampled and destroyed by that monster on the day the tabernacle disappears.”
“That’s…”
“But you. Even in a situation where the new director allowed the cavalrymen to be treated, he tried to sabotage them by resorting to such extreme measures. You’re going to burn the cavalrymen’s wives at the stake? Could it be that the cavalry soldiers were so unhappy and dissatisfied with the treatment they received? Did you hate this city’s power conservation so much? So, as someone who has experienced this situation, I cannot help but have doubts. Is that guy doing this on purpose? And that’s it. “It’s as if they’re intentionally trying to mess up.”
“It’s sophistry! “This is nonsense!”
“What is the evidence that says no?”
“…what?”
“Can you prove it’s not true?”
“….”
The adrenal enema became dumb for a moment. Was he extremely embarrassed? Even as he was being trampled and crushed, his eyeballs were clearly visible shaking back and forth.
Rakiel did not miss that gap.
“So, let me come to a conclusion. “A local guy!”
“…!”
“This priest, no, this guy! How dare you wear the robes of a priest! With the sacred name of God on our backs! Behind the scenes, we’re talking to the enemy! “They were trying to push all the people of this city into the abyss of destruction and death!”
“…Huh?”
“then! This guy! What should I do!”
“What did you do? Hey hey!”
The deputy kidney director began to struggle desperately. But Rachiel did not allow him to get up. He even slightly turned his ankle and stepped on the assistant director’s ear even more strongly. Thanks to this, the adrenal enema had to be gripped by pain that felt like it was crushing the inside of his ear, rather than getting up.
“Kwaaaaak!”
It hurt so much.
I couldn’t come to my senses.
Of course, he had no idea. The flow of energy and blood around his ears had not been very smooth as usual, and thanks to this, the acupuncture points in his ears were more concentrated than others. Rakiel, who had recognized this early on, was deliberately targeting(?) the auricles as persistently as if they were mincing pork cutlets. .
“Look everyone! This guy is a fake pretending to be a priest! If this guy really is a priest! As a non-believer, I would have easily overcome the persecution through the name and grace of God! But look! “Do you see this scene? Ah!”
“Huh! He’s aaaaaah!”
“Even though I’m just putting my feet up! I can’t even come to my senses, let alone wake up! Let me ask you. this! “Are you a priest?”
“…!”
Hey you crazy bastard!
Even in the midst of the pain, the assistant director was so shocked that he was jumping up and down. I really wanted to protest. I wonder if such base propaganda will be accepted by the people here. I am a priest and you are a non-believer. Do you think such shallow measures will work?
We’ll see.
You’ll regret it.
I thought so and was convinced.
But…
“What you say is right, Prince of non-believers!”
Someone shouted loudly.
Who on earth?
Who dares?
Vice Director barely looked away in surprise and anger and looked towards the direction from which the shout was heard. And the moment I identified the person who had just shouted, I burst into laughter.
It was like
“Huh huh huh… huh…” .
A pale young priest of low rank was pointing his finger in this direction and shouting rather enthusiastically.
“I! Priest Felix dares to speak! In fact, I and my fellow priests all had doubts deep in our hearts! “The question was, why do we have to persecute and drive away the wives and families of precious believers so much today?”
“you’re right! “So did I!”
“…I also felt the same way! However, I could not bring myself to raise such questions due to the Vice Director’s coercion and authoritarian attitude!”
One person stepped forward, followed by two, then three, and then all the remaining priests began to rush forward. And he became more and more passionate about criticizing Vice Minister.
“Prince of non-believers, as you said, we have been tacitly allowing non-believers to be treated, and we have no doubt that such tolerance will further enrich our believers!”
“That’s right! Instead, I believed that it was a priest’s proper duty and devotion to his followers to bear the wrath of God that would arise in the process! Maybe that’s why! Director Shin, who was usually strict, would have made an exception to allow treatment of non-believers!”
“However, the deputy director has shown an especially unnatural and incomprehensible attitude towards this situation!”
“I was skeptical about that too! This is definitely! Just as the Prince of Unbelievers said, this may indicate that Director Bushin has some kind of connection with the evil forces of the monster!”
“Huh… huh?”
The assistant director was dumbfounded. And then I realized it with the feeling that the blood in my whole body was turning cold.
It’s ruined.
It’s the end.
‘Could it be that they… are trying to blame everything, including today’s burning ceremony, on my arbitrary decision… and pass all responsibility on to me?’
It seemed like that.
And the person who caused this whole situation is…
“Crown Prince! dare! “Such a petty instigation with a three-inch tongue…!”
“In the current situation, we have to incite or do something.”
“…what?”
Director Vice, who was trying to protest while vomiting blood, was shocked. The crown prince suddenly removed the foot that was trampling on his head and lowered himself. He whispered something meaningful in my direction.
“lets think. There are only a few days left until the tabernacle is taken down, but what happens if priests like you ruin the unity of this city? So, I have to take care of it. Even if there is a chance that I will send a scolded person to the goal. The rest has to live. is not it?”
“…!”
“You made a mistake. I think I planned today’s incident to show my loyalty to the new director and gain points with the church. Anyway, anyway. The line that must be kept must not be crossed. To purify the corruption of a cavalryman who was cured by an infidel, did he burn his wife, a family member, alive? Whip the face of an old man who is crying and pleading for mercy for his son just once? “Don’t you think that’s a little crazy?”
“That…”
“You have to take responsibility for your actions.”
“Our denomination! “Do you know how to leave you alone!”
“uh. “I’ll just leave it at that.”
Rakiel chuckled.
“Young priests must feel that this is an opportunity to overtake you and advance in rank. Actually, I know. They must have been in the same conversation with you too. Are you saying that you couldn’t ask questions because of your authoritarian attitude? I don’t believe that either. But… They also figured out the situation. How to act to benefit yourself. So, this is an opportunity for them to win over you and gain public support at the same time. There is nothing to lose. is not it?”
“That… what…”
“Thank goodness. Actually, it was a big picture that I came up with spontaneously at the moment when you were beating up your grandmother, and it was drawn so well in reality. The young priests in this neighborhood are perceptive. I think I’m pretty good at tightrope walking and politics. Thanks to this, the timing was right and they responded well. “You raised me really well.”
“….”
“Thanks to you, you will be punished by the church. Fortunately, the citizens here who rebelled against you will not be harmed by the cult. That’s a good thing. then.”
Tuk-tuk.
After finishing what he had to say, Rakiel patted the deputy director’s shoulder and stood up. And then I walked away without even looking back.
“Now wait a minute…!”
The assistant director urgently stretched out his hand. Just wait a moment. I still have something to say. It’s unfair. So, let me just say something…
“If you’ve accepted the charges, I’ll have to go to the basement of the prayer center.”
“…!”
The shadows cast by the young priests and citizens instantly surrounded the Vice Minister.
