The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 547
Episode 547 The warmth of the name Jim (2)
I don’t understand.
This is true even though it is his own work.
Maybe that’s why secret sighs keep flowing like this.
“Whoa.”
Damian Cayenne raised his head. Imperial palace courtyard. Antique walls and pillars. I could see the blue sky stretching beyond it. The weather was surprisingly sunny. Perhaps that’s why the mood here becomes more mixed.
‘When will I no longer be my master’s burden?’
Suddenly, the events of last night came to mind.
In fact, contrary to what he had told his master, he had not been able to sleep well last night. The reason was unknown. Clearly, my body felt lighter as I got rid of lung cancer. The pressure seemed to have gone away quite a bit. But strangely enough, I couldn’t sleep.
So I toss and turn this way and that. I spent the night almost with my eyes open. In the meantime, I had to force myself to think about only one concern.
When will I no longer be a burden to my master?
I don’t know the answer.
So I was at a loss.
No, maybe it was never a burden from the beginning. He said he has always protected his master. I thought that I had worked hard and promised myself that it would happen. Now that I think about it, I don’t think so. In reality, wasn’t the master always protecting him? A feeling of sadness that felt like certainty kept covering my heart.
“That’s why I’m worried. “You’re listening, right?”
Damian Cayenne asked into the sky. If anyone had seen it, they might have thought it was just a solitary complaint filled with agony.
But the reality was different.
“…You shouldn’t talk to me like that.”
Imperial palace courtyard.
A fairly old-fashioned scene of everyday life.
Suddenly, the sound of a person speaking came from a corner of the space where no one was present. Ghost? Of course not. It was the third agent of the Imperial Special Intelligence Department, who was hiding as if he was naturally blending into the shadows between the pillars and the wall.
“I am definitely at work. “If you talk to me like this, won’t I get in trouble?”
“But I’ve always known it all.”
“What about me following you and observing you?”
“yes.”
“Besides, I think I know more than just that now.”
“of course. “Just recently.”
“…under.”
Agent 3 burst out laughing. He intuitively knew that Damian’s words were not bluff.
Damian continued.
“On this side, on that side, on that side, and on the other side over there.”
“….”
Every time Damian pointed to various points in order, a soft sigh came out. There was a bitter smile on Agent 3’s answer as he returned.
“They’ve all been caught.”
“I’m sorry.”
“no. Because their senses are excellent. “It wouldn’t be a big deal to detect the locations of all of our agents.”
“Are you going to be in trouble because of me?”
“Well, even now my superiors, Agents 1 and 2, are glaring at me.”
“I’m sorry about that too.”
“are you okay. Anyway, we’re all caught by them, so why should they just pick on me and scold me? “This isn’t the first time I’ve been reprimanded because of you.”
“But aren’t you the only one talking to me right now? “I think this is an issue that deserves proper censure.”
“…After hearing it, I think I deserve an apology.”
“As expected, I’m sorry.”
“Tsk. “I accept it.”
“Everyone is working hard because of me.”
“I can’t help it. “Right now, Damian Kayen’s safety is the same as the safety of the empire.”
What Agent 3 said was true.
When Damian dies, a person called the Demon King awakens. Not only the empire, but the world itself may be on the path to destruction. So, you must follow it unconditionally. You must not leave yourself in danger. Therefore, all agents except No. 0 will secretly escort Damian Cayenne. In any situation, Damian Cayenne’s safety will be our top priority.
Agent No. 3 chuckled, remembering the emperor’s strict command.
“But if you think about it, it’s a little funny. Who is protecting whom? In fact, if they put their minds to it, agents like us could finish off tens or hundreds of them in an instant.”
“But just having them around gives me peace of mind.”
“like now?”
“…yes. “Like now, when I’m sharing my concerns.”
“This is a consultation with an agent of the Imperial Special Intelligence Service. “This is my first type of mission.”
“When will I no longer be a burden to my master?”
“Why are you telling me everything without even asking if I would like to receive counseling for my concerns?”
“Didn’t you start the conversation thinking you would accept it?”
“…well, that’s true.”
“Then give me the answer.”
“This isn’t counseling for your concerns, it’s robbing you of an answer. What is this?”
“It doesn’t matter anyway, right?”
“under. “Look at this guy.”
Agent 3 let out a soft laugh. And said.
“Actually, I think that’s a pretty useless worry.”
“yes?”
“It’s a worry you don’t need to worry about.”
“Why?”
“After all, everyone is a burden to someone.”
“….”
Damian closed his mouth.
Agent 3 continued.
“That’s just what I think. Although it may seem like a bit of a bullshit philosophy. No, it’s a bullshit philosophy, but it’s true. After all, not everyone lives alone, right? Live in a relationship with someone in some way. “Unless you’re completely isolated on a deserted island.”
“….”
“So, there is no one who has never leaned on someone in their life. Same goes for that one. The same goes for Your Majesty. Same goes for me. Because I always get help and cooperation from my fellow agents. Otherwise, most missions cannot be performed.”
“…Is that so?”
“yes. So don’t blame yourself, saying it’s a burden or something. “Oh, it’s coming.”
“….”
Agent No. 3, who had been leisurely giving advice, quickly closed his mouth. Damian’s hearing also became sensitive and he detected the presence of someone approaching from afar. He too returned to silence, as if nothing had happened, as if he had been leisurely strolling around the courtyard.
And after a while, the person who came towards me spoke.
“what. “You were here?”
It was Crown Prince Rakiel.
He said, looking around the courtyard.
“Have you been looking at flowers here alone?”
“yes. little.”
“Whew. It’s good to sell. “I was summoned by His Majesty and suffered a lot, while the guy named Howie was enjoying the sunshine and looking at flowers.”
“Then your highness wasn’t born as me?”
“I know. “I regret not doing so.”
Rachiel laughed and joked.
“let’s go. “It’s suffocating when I’m in the imperial palace.”
“yes. “I will take you there.”
I returned to the carriage.
In the meantime, Damian listened to his master’s harsh words.
“Have you been scolded by Your Majesty a lot today?”
“I wasn’t scolded. “Umm.”
“Or were you admonished?”
“That’s not true either. “Umm.”
“Have you ever received an attack of affection?”
“uh. answer.”
“….”
“That was more painful than I thought.”
Rachiel said in disgust.
“That guy is so burdensome these days. Your eyes are so sparkling. And then sometimes, he just looks at me with sad eyes.”
“But isn’t it better than before, when we were treated so harshly?”
“Well, it may seem that way to others….”
It’s definitely a good thing.
It’s a heartwarming change.
If this was the emperor’s real son, if it were the real Rachiel, then this would certainly have been the case.
‘But I’m not that person’s son. That’s the problem.’
Yes.
That’s the problem.
Is this really okay?
Is it okay for me to receive this kind of affection? Is it right to be acting like this? Did I really deserve this? no. I don’t think there is one.
Every time I received the emperor’s interested gaze. Every now and then, he shows his affection for his son with deep gaze. Every moment I encounter such feelings.
I felt like my heart was congested.
Should I say this is heartbreaking?
Or should I say that my conscience is pricked.
I don’t know.
I just felt sorry, uncomfortable, and disgusted with myself. All I could say in my heart was that I was sorry for unintentionally taking your son away from you and that I was even more sorry for continuing to deceive you like this.
“…I don’t know. “How long will it have to be like this?”
Rakiel sighed deeply.
And then I looked back at Damian.
“What would you do if it were you?”
“You mean me?”
“uh. “If you can’t get used to it and are indiscriminately bombarded with burdensome affection.”
“Uhm… can I be honest with you?”
“uh.”
“…Who are you to tell me such things?”
“uh?”
“who are you?”
“….”
Rakiel closed his mouth. And then I looked at Damian. Suddenly I wondered why this guy was like this. But Damian also looked this way. And I was asked this:
“It felt strange a little while ago. “It’s clear that you’ve met me for the first time. Who are you to walk side by side with me and talk like that without hesitation?”
“….”
“Do you know me by any chance?”
“….”
It was so unexpected.
So it was strange.
Something wasn’t normal.
Damian’s eyes are staring at me. The guy’s expression was noticeably different from before. All of those signs were clearly telling. This is a situation where something is clearly amiss.
But on the other hand, I could tell.
This guy is using this again.
“under. “This guy is real.”
Rachiel burst out laughing.
“You’ve used that before, right? “It won’t work twice.”
“…twice? When you say you’ve used it before, do you mean we’ve met before?”
“what?”
“I have no idea what you were talking about just a moment ago.”
“…hey. hey?”
no way.
this time?
My heart sank without me knowing.
But that was then.
Damian grinned.
“Have you been deceived again?”
“…her?”
“You fooled me twice.”
“….”
Rakiel closed his mouth. I was dumbfounded. The sight of this guy grinning so slyly. Such a satisfied face!
“Hey Mr. Lee.”
My face grew hot as I realized that I had been wronged(?) again. My blood pressure soared. This time I was really shocked. At the same time, I felt relieved. I’m glad that the gloomy prediction I had for a moment turned out to be wrong.
Maybe that was why.
I smiled at him and lost my temper.
“you really. Do you want to drink a bowl of royal family rape? huh?”
“ah. “I don’t like that.”
“I hate it. “It’s just that I’m so lazy, I’m just itching for the full course, right?”
“I would like to decline that too.”
“Is that up to you?”
“yes. It’s possible.”
“why?”
“If I am mistreated, the Demon King will wake up, right?”
“….”
“Hmm, something similar to mine was said on a news broadcast I saw in Korea… I think it’s called a method of contact.”
“This is not some kind of escort service.”
“That’s good. “I like the tone.”
“I guess I’ll just keep doing this and ask my friend to eat.”
“Is that so? “Let’s get in.”
Damien smiled happily and opened the carriage door. Rachiel was about to say something, but shook his head and got into the carriage. No, I tried to get on it. It was then. Damian, who was holding the carriage door, suddenly collapsed to the floor as if the power had gone out.
“…uh?”
What kind of show is this again?
Rakiel was dumbfounded.
“Hey. It’s bad, it’s bad. Are you trying to trick me again?”
“….”
“No matter what, you can’t be fooled three times?”
“….”
“hey. Wake up, Chokbeop Escort.”
“….”
“I have no conscience. Even if this happens, you won’t wake up?”
“….”
“Damian?”
“….”
“Damian…?”
“….”
As expected, there was no answer.
No, there was no reaction.
Are you trying to play a prank again?
I was skeptical and shook the guy.
At that moment, I felt it with my fingertips.
“…Damian?”
Its limbs were twitching as thinly as an aspen tree.
Another practical joke?
Not as much as this time.
“Damian!”
Suddenly, goosebumps appeared.
