The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 91
Episode 91. A Deceiver’s Fishing Method (1)
I am someone.
Also, somewhere else.
Who on earth called me from far away?
Princess Adeline Beauharnais Amboise.
She felt anger and resentment fighting in her heart. I raised my head. Beyond the slightly open carriage window. I saw a magnificent sight of an unfamiliar city.
The ecliptic was magenta.
“….”
I never thought I would come here. It seems like only yesterday I was forced into a carriage. But ten days have already passed. Meanwhile, he was helplessly dragged to Magenta, the imperial capital.
Of course, I tried to escape(?). But I quickly gave up. Six-month stay on Magenta, the ecliptic. That was Abamama’s royal command.
As soon as I escaped and returned to the royal capital, it was obvious that the same thing would happen again. It was from the moment I realized that. I was half resigned. I thought it was better to get it right early, and if I had to travel anyway, I wanted to get there quickly.
But that didn’t mean it was pleasant.
‘Whoa.’
A sigh that comes out naturally.
Soon the carriage stopped. Have we already arrived at the imperial palace? The carriage door opened. A solemn knight appeared. He was the commander of the Knights of Amboise who had faithfully followed him up to this point.
“Princess, please be confident.”
“….”
The knight commander’s firm request.
She nodded silently. I strengthened my resolve with all my might. From the moment you step out of this carriage, you find yourself in the middle of enemy territory. Except for the entourage that came from Amboise, no one can be trusted.
Because he was taken hostage. Because you will be treated as trophies of your enemies.
‘But I never bow my head.’
She is the princess of a great royal family. He will become the king and lead Amboise in the future. He thought that he, who had inherited the glory of his ancestors and previous kings, could not carelessly show himself weak to his enemies.
It gave strength to my eyes. I tensed all the muscles in my body. So I got off the carriage. I took my first step in enemy territory(?). And then he looked at the first enemy coming towards him.
He was a silver-haired man with a weak physique. He had quite a number of attendants. The princess frowned slightly. I seem to remember seeing that face somewhere…
“Thank you for your hard work in coming this long way, princess of Amboise. Nice to meet you. “I am Raquiel Adria Magentano, Crown Prince of the Empire.”
“….”
Yes, I remembered. Portraits I saw when studying about important figures from other countries. This is the face I saw back then. So it was. The princess tilted her head slightly.
‘It’s very different from the picture.’
In the portraits, they all looked like dying sick people. But what about the crown prince in front of us now? It wasn’t that much. Although it looks skinny and poor.
‘Well, whatever. The author insulted Abama.’
The princess’s eyes turned cold as she looked at Rachiel.
It’s him.
That guy wrote a handwritten letter to Abama. He was brought here because of that letter. There was no way to know what the contents of the letter were.
However, there was something to be guessed about.
‘You must have put pressure on Abama. Citing the national power of the empire or Abamama’s weaknesses. ‘He would have committed diplomatic disrespect and threatened Abamama into submission.’
It will happen.
Otherwise, there is no way Abama would have sent her here so easily. Princess Adeline, filled with confidence, clenched her fists. I greeted the crown prince, exercising self-control so as not to hit him in the face.
“This is Adeline Beauharnais Amboise, the princess of Amboise.”
The voice was like a harsh wind at minus 50 degrees Celsius. But Rakiel was not embarrassed. I wasn’t at all intimidated by the cool pressure from the princess. The secret was simple. Because this situation was very familiar.
‘A woman who treats me coldly. I’ve experienced this a lot. ‘Hehehe!’
It was always like this in Korea.
Even if you go on a blind date.
Even if you go out to see the line.
The women’s reactions toward him were consistent. Thanks to you, I always felt this way. I have no idea what’s so difficult about a woman’s heart.
‘You can tell right away that you hate me just by looking at me!’
It’s still the same now. Rakiel spoke, re-armed with a strong (?) mentality that was not hurt at all.
“okay. “You must be tired from the long journey, so come this way.”
He guided the princess directly. I passed through the garden and entered the main building of the villa. We headed to the luncheon hall that had been prepared there in advance. The princess was greeted with a sumptuous feast prepared with great care.
“Let’s eat first. After that, I will give you a guide to the villa where you will be staying.”
“….”
But the princess didn’t even lift her fork. As if he would not eat food from an enemy country without protection. He only sent a cold, wary look across the long table.
But Rakiel was not hurt at all. Because this was also a familiar situation!
‘also. The princess is also the type of person who doesn’t eat on time.’
Are all women like that?
It’s like that in Korea too.
What if I contact you to have lunch or dinner? All they could say was that they had already eaten or that it would be difficult because of the diet. The princess probably felt the same way.
‘Write it. ‘It’s difficult to do this.’
Rakiel swallowed a bitter smile. The princess’s attitude toward him was much colder than he expected. It was as if he was looking at an enemy. It was difficult.
‘This makes it difficult to provide treatment.’
The relationship between medical professionals and patients is important.
Above all, trust in each other must be the foundation. Only then can patients readily entrust their bodies to medical professionals. Medical professionals can also treat patients with greater responsibility.
Some people might ask what’s so great about the difference in mindset.
But it’s important.
It’s really important.
Without it, any treatment will be in vain.
‘But the princess hates me more than I thought. ‘Maybe the content of the letter to King Amboise should have been different.’
He sent a letter expressing his interest in the princess.
I want to strengthen friendship between the two countries. I want to meet the princess. Wouldn’t that be mutually beneficial? He said he carefully selected and wrote only the words that would most definitely bring the princess here. But I had no idea that it would make the princess hate him so much.
‘Write it. Just a warmonger from the collateral royal family of Amboise who started a great war in the novel Demon Sword Emperor. ‘I’m sure they’ll frame him for rebellion.’
He’s going to revolt. The King needs to purge him quickly. Wouldn’t things have been easier if it had been written that way? Wouldn’t it have been easy to prevent a great war?
I regretted it for a moment.
But he quickly shook his head.
‘no. That’s not the way to go. There are too many variables.’
If he is not careful, the warmonger of the collateral royal family may rebel against the false accusation placed on him. You shouldn’t do that. The plot is very different from the original novel.
What will the result be? What effect will this have on this side? Nothing becomes unpredictable.
‘That would be difficult.’
In fact, it was not a method chosen for that reason. Rachiel gave up her lingering feelings about the choice she had made.
‘Let’s be confident in my choices. This is the most advantageous path. I called the princess, so you can treat the gallstones. You can prevent people from dying from gallstones. Then the princess will become the king of Amboise.’
Naturally, the outbreak of a great war can be prevented.
So let’s not hesitate. Be confident. First, let’s start by gaining the princess’s favor and trust. Rakiel raised his head as he made a promise. He spoke to the princess across the table.
“this. sorry. A meal as soon as we arrived after a long journey. It seems like you had a hard time digesting it. So I prepared.”
“….”
“Lord Gardin?”
Sir Gardin came into the luncheon hall at our call. There was a silver tray in his hand. The king placed a tray in front of the princess. I opened the lid. Inside is a black medicine in a porcelain bowl…
“It’s a decoction. We prepared it with especially healthy gwibitang (歸脾湯). “It will help relieve the fatigue accumulated on the way here.”
“….”
The princess didn’t move a muscle. I just stare at the decoction. His gaze was so cold that the pot of decoction was embarrassed. But Rachiel didn’t care. It didn’t shake. I silently waited for the princess’s reaction.
Did that pressure(?) work? Around the time when the steam rising from the decoction bowl disappeared. Finally, the princess’s mouth opened.
“What kind of insult is this?”
“…yes?”
“Was it not enough for you to bring me here and make me sit down?”
“What do you mean…”
Rachiel asked.
The princess’s brow furrowed slightly.
“I asked you to come and I came here. That alone required a huge decision for me and Amboise. “Don’t you know that?”
“….”
“So let me tell you in advance. They told me to stay for 6 months, so I will stay. Just as the Crown Prince requested from my father. But that’s it. Don’t even think about asking for more than that. “You don’t make them sit at the table or invite them to eat anything, just leave them alone.”
“Hmm, I think there is some misunderstanding…”
“There is no such thing as a misunderstanding. this much.”
Grumble!
The princess stood up, pushing the chair away with a rough gesture. It was that moment.
“Is the princess scared?”
Rachiel’s needle pierced Princess Kok’s eardrums. The princess, who was about to turn, stopped.
“…I beg your pardon?”
“Are you scared?”
“What is that…”
“I’m not doing anything. I simply recommended a meal and gave her a decoction that was good for recovering from fatigue. “But what is it that makes you so scared and afraid that you run away?”
“I have no fear…”
“Are you worried that the decoction might have been poisoned? Sir Gardin. “Bring it here.”
He winked at Sir Gardin.
I accepted gwibitang from the Lord.
“Whew. “This is made with something really precious.”
It was a one-shot with a bitter monologue. He showed the cleaned bowl to the princess.
“There is no such thing as poison. Think about it. Could it be that I, the crown prince of the empire, poisoned the medicine given to the princess at an official event? How are you going to handle it? “Isn’t that right?”
“No, I…”
“It’s okay. What should I do? The princess doesn’t trust me like this and only gives me Muan. “Isn’t that right?”
Pretending to be sad on purpose. Pretending to be very hurt. He said, putting his all into acting. In fact, it was a provocation.
‘Princess Adeline of Amboise. ‘I said I have a personality that absolutely hates losing.’
She never directly appeared in the novel Demon Sword Emperor. However, there were a few indirect references. He said he hates losing so much. He also said that he had extreme contempt for cowards and cowards.
So it was.
Rakiel rushed out of her seat and asked her in a classy way, ‘Are you casting Pants Run because you’re scared?’ They openly treated me like a coward. It was a personality-tailored provocation bomb.
The effect(?) was amazing.
Grumble!
The princess pulled up a chair and sat down. I looked at him intently from across the table. Unlike before, which was cool, his eyes were somehow burning.
“What did the crown prince just say?”
“It’s just like I said. “What are you so afraid of?”
“I have never been afraid.”
“But you couldn’t muster up the courage to take the decoction I offered you at an official event.”
“…you are saying too much.”
“Then would you like it if I offered it to you again?”
“….”
Princess Adeline closed her mouth. I had to realize it at the same time. I got caught up in the opponent’s trick. What if I refuse the medicine again? You will be labeled a coward.
I didn’t like that.
So I became even more angry.
‘He seems like a conniving person.’
I felt like I had created an atmosphere in which I had no choice but to take the medicine. It was an extremely clever and vicious scheme. But now I have no choice but to accept it.
Finally she nodded.
“Please give it to me. However, I have a condition to give to the crown prince.”
“It’s a condition. “Tell me.”
“This is the first and last time.”
“Do you mean taking the medicine I give you?”
“yes.”
“Try it first and judge for yourself.”
Rachiel grinned. He winked at Sir Gardin. Sir came again with a tray. It was the same decoction as before.
“….”
The princess who received the decoction wrinkled the bridge of her nose. The smell was strange. It was unfamiliar and disgusting. Now that I think about it, the color of the decoction was all black and dull. Is it okay to eat something like this? I think it’s a lie that it’s good for your health.
But the worries did not last long. I picked up the bowl. I brought it to my mouth. tilted
gulp.
“…!”
At that moment, Princess Adeline felt a magnificent urge to squirt out the decoction that was in her mouth. I also felt a destructive murderous desire to throw a bowl at the crown prince’s head.
The reason was simple.
It was tasteless. There really wasn’t!
‘That grub!’
I had no idea there was such bitterness in the world. It wasn’t even just writing.
It was fishy. A strange fishy smell filled my palate and nose. Moreover, it felt strangely spicy. The terrible combination of bitter, fishy, and spicy flavors ravaged my tongue like an orchestra in hell. It was a terrifying experience of a kind I had never experienced before!
‘…ugh!’
gulp! gulp!
I barely held back and drank it.
draft.
Two sips.
I tried not to throw up.
Three sips, four sips and the last five sips!
“…Kokolok! “Woo… wow… Cough!”
I put down the bowl as if I was throwing it. I barely swallowed the nausea that was rising up my throat. And I thought to myself. This is not the type of food that humans can eat. It’s not even food at all, it’s ‘something’. The crown prince who fed him this is not even human.
She raised her head, almost cursing. Across the other side of the table. I stared at the crown prince’s seat.
But the crown prince was not there. Instead, the crown prince’s voice suddenly came from right next to me.
“Now, if you’ve finished eating, take this.”
The crown prince suddenly approaches. When did it come? While I’m taking my medicine? While I closed my eyes tightly trying to endure the terrible taste? But why is the crown prince… passing something this way? Why on earth is he smiling such a familiar and friendly smile?
“It’s candy. “Candy right after taking bitter medicine is the rule, isn’t it?”
“….”
“Plum flavor.”
“….”
The princess’s face, whose taste had been sniped at in an instant, turned slightly red without realizing it.
