The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 492
Episode 492 Bingryong’s identity (2)
‘Wait a minute…’
Gulp.
Rachiel swallowed dry saliva. And then I looked at the door with disbelieving eyes. A nameplate hung there. The more I saw that name, the more I felt like I was being told a bad joke.
‘The identity of Sir Roberto, the commander of the Imperial Palace Guard, senior swordmaster of the imperial family, and lifelong close friend of the Emperor who suffers from slight hair loss… is Ice Dragon Tyranus?’
Is this a lie?
But no.
I have no choice but to believe it.
Suddenly, the words of Flower Dragon Flores came to mind. I think she probably said this as she opened the portal.
– It will lead directly to the entrance of the residence where my father is staying. When you arrive, there will probably be a ‘door’ right in front of you.
“….”
That door is the one with Sir Roberto’s nameplate on it. Maybe another door? There is no such thing. The one in front of you is the only door in the hallway on the third floor of the Imperial Guard Headquarters.
“majesty.”
“uh. “Do you feel the same way?”
“yes. any.”
“I feel like I got hit in the back of the head rather hard.”
“I agree.”
Damian smiles bitterly.
I wonder if this one has the same expression now.
I reached for the door, thinking maybe that was the case.
smart.
I knocked.
There was no response from inside. I couldn’t even hear a voice asking who it was. But I was sure. Inside, there is someone who is Sir Roberto, or perhaps Bingryong. I can feel a presence inside.
‘Has he sensed that we have discovered his identity?’
Maybe so.
It was a moment when I thought…
Sweet.
The door opened without warning. The face that soon appeared through the gap in the door was that of an old driver who looked familiar but somehow unfamiliar.
“Please come in.”
“….”
Sir Roberto suddenly spoke informally towards us. No, something else with the face of Sir Roberto. Probably Bingryong. I was convinced the moment I saw that attitude. That he already knows our intentions.
‘Whoa.’
I took a deep breath and went inside. Sir Roberto’s office was a space overflowing with restrained neatness, befitting his personality. No, this must also be part of camouflage. Trying to hide his original identity.
Rakiel managed to suppress the bitter smile that had been creeping out without him knowing. Then he sat down in the office chair and immediately said hello.
“nice to see you. “This is Raquiel Adria Magentano.”
“…It won’t be our first time seeing each other.”
“The meeting between the Crown Prince and the Commander of the Knights of the Royal Guard may be a spherical meeting, but it is the first time meeting a mortal human and the Bingryong Tyranus.”
I shouted out loud.
Actually, I had no intention of coming all the way here, hiding, sleeping, and moving around in circles. Was it because of their straightforward attitude? Bingryong looked at this direction with a strange look.
“…That’s shameless. “I already knew that.”
“I think I’ll be a little more shameless today.”
“what?”
“My daughter sent me here.”
“….”
He shouted loudly.
By the time we’ve come this far, Bingryong’s identity has already been revealed, so we’ve put aside any worries from the beginning.
“Since you have been in the imperial capital as the commander of the palace guard, I believe you already know a lot. You probably know that I treated your daughter for anorexia. Is that correct?”
“…write. “That’s right.”
“also. So, I guess he greeted me today as Bingryong Tyranus, not as Guard Captain Sir Roberto.”
“Did you guess that far?”
“Yes, roughly.”
“….”
Look at this guy.
There was a faint look of admiration in Bingryong’s eyes towards Rachiel. Rachiel continued.
“And I think it’s highly likely that you already know that your daughter’s treatment was successful. No, even if you didn’t know it, you would have known the moment you sensed that the portal your daughter opened was created in front of that door. By sight. Is that correct?”
“Well, that’s true.”
“So, I guess you opened up the opportunity for conversation to me. “I am truly grateful.”
“under. “I’m not afraid.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Just talk?”
“I apologize for that too.”
“I pointed out that he was shameless, and he became even more shameless.”
“As expected, I apologize again.”
“….”
Bingryong Tyranus.
Father of Dragon King Berkis.
He looked at Rachiel with prayerful eyes. Then I realized something again. The more I look at this guy, the more he resembles me. This refers to the young days of Asterion, the human emperor who had been by his side for decades.
‘Especially those eyes and the rolling smile… they’re the same. ‘To the point where it’s obnoxious.’
A bitter smile blooms naturally.
Suddenly, an encounter from the past came to mind.
Asterion Testarossa Magentano.
He is emperor now, but he was not when we first met. At the time, Asterion was just a prince caught up in a secret struggle between brothers. He was even in a very difficult situation. Perhaps I was stuck in an abyss with no hope or possibility of a turnaround in sight.
‘He was probably kidnapped by people employed by his half-brother’s maternal family…’
Was he taken to a place hundreds of kilometers away from the ecliptic and imprisoned? I was waiting for a miserable death that would come one night later.
But even so, Asterion at that time did not lose his smile. No, he even grinned like a crazy person when he saw himself bringing him a glass of water, which might have been the last supper of his life.
That sight was amazing.
So I asked.
Do you find laughter in situations like this?
Then the boy Asterion responded like this. It’s the end if you die anyway, so what’s more scary? What more can they do other than kill me?
Maybe it was because of that answer. I felt that Asterion was an interesting guy. I had a premonition that if I kept him alive and stayed by his side, at least he wouldn’t be bored.
‘That was already… 37 years ago. It’s been a long time by human standards.’
I burst into laughter.
Even thinking about it now, the choice I made 37 years ago when I thought Asterion was an interesting guy was a great one. I immediately abandoned the disguised identity of a contract organization member that I had maintained until then. And he changed his status to a son of the Roberto family, a famous swordsman in the imperial capital. It wasn’t difficult. With the dazzling and hallucinating magic cast with the dragon’s transcendent mental power, it was no problem to create a son who never existed.
As soon as he changed his identity, he saved Asterion on the spot. He defeated the gang that kidnapped him at his instigation. Asterion, who was released, also stood up with his sword and fought shoulder to shoulder. Even back then, I was secretly impressed. Even though this guy is weak, he seems to know business ethics(?).
It started after that.
He stayed by the side of Asterion, who became emperor. It was a successful disguise. When he had to use his strength, he only used his capabilities as a disguised human swordmaster Sir Roberto, not as Bingryong.
Thanks to this, no one recognized his identity. I felt relieved. That’s enough. At this rate, no matter how hard his wife tries, she won’t be able to find him. He was worried that he would be safe from her threats and that his runaway life(?) would continue to be solid in the future.
That was certainly the case until Rachiel came to see the dragon today, not as a prince, but as a human who had business to do with the dragon.
“…Whew. “I’m going crazy.”
Bingryong Tyranus, who had been thinking that far, clicked his tongue. Although he didn’t show it on the outside, he was actually trying desperately to suppress the cold sweat that was starting to form.
It was because of the rising sense of crisis.
‘I need to send this guy back quickly.’
Rachiel is now treating herself like a dragon. He is also dealing with Rakiel as a dragon. It shouldn’t be like this. The longer this goes on, the more its presence as a dragon will spread to those around it.
Then….
‘My wife might sense me.’
…gulp.
Just thinking about it gave me goosebumps.
A faint nervousness appeared in Bingryong’s eyes as he looked at Rachiel.
“Then let’s get to the main point. I won’t blame you for coming to me so carelessly. She is my daughter who did not reveal my location to her mother in order to keep her promise to me. But I guess there was a good reason why I told you that information. Am I right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Then what is the business you have come to see me for?”
Bingryong internally shouted, ‘Tell me quickly!’ and on the outside, his sharp and solemn gaze flashed. Fortunately, Rakiel’s answer was clear and coherent.
“If you ask about my business, I will tell you. The King of Demons is about to descend through this friend’s body. Because it caused a terrible disease in this friend’s body. So I need to cure my illness, but I don’t know how yet. That’s why. “I want to freeze this guy for a while to buy time until we find a cure.”
“You mean the frozen man?”
“yes. “They say Bingryong is the best authority on freezing things.”
“Who did that?”
“The King of Hell.”
“Write it. That guy, Javiel Asrahan, again….”
“Do you know each other?”
“any. So you need my help? To turn him into an ice cookie?”
“yes. “Can you help me?”
“no.”
“…yes?”
“I want to help, but I’m having trouble.”
“Why?”
“If I help you, my wife will detect me.”
“….”
“It’s literally like that. Frozen human? You can make it. Helping you? I can do enough, and I want to help too. Because you helped my daughter first. But that’s it. “It’s another matter if I get caught by my wife.”
“Is this a very serious problem?”
“yes.”
Bingryong nodded without even breathing.
His outburst, or rather lament, continued.
“I have been successfully hiding from her for 90 years. Although it was cute in its own way, it was a peaceful, cozy, and satisfying time. But if I have to be captured by her again in exchange for helping you… wouldn’t that be too harsh on me?”
“Oh, that’s true, but…”
“Of course, I want to help you too. Because you helped my daughter first. But the situation is like this, so I hope you understand.”
“….”
“I’m truly sorry. That’s why I’m saying this…”
“…”
Rakiel closed his mouth. And then he stared at Bingryong. Apparently, Bingryong didn’t seem to be lying. In fact, there would be no need to lie. You can just refuse this request. For a powerful dragon, such rejection would not be very difficult.
However, he refuses, even revealing his miserable(?) circumstances. So what are the next words that will come out of Bingryong’s mouth?
Somehow, I had a clue.
It also has a slightly strong feel.
Unfortunately, the feeling I felt turned out to be too perfect.
“So, what I’m saying is, could you go visit my wife instead of me… and relieve her anger?”
“….”
At that moment, Rachiel realized.
ah.
In order to save this world, I have to visit Yeom Hwa-ryong, who is said to have the worst personality among the Dragon King family, and conduct a couple’s clinic. I am thrown into a crisis that is not even possible in the Four Pillars of Life.
