The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 152
Episode 152 Relativity Elven Time Theory (2)
Morning dawned. The sun rose steadily. The ladies, who had been burning their endless competition for the second prince all night long after the grand banquet the night before, fell into oversleep with hangovers. The 2nd prince also fell asleep, exhausted.
But there were exceptions.
It was Rachiel.
“Nooooo… Damian?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“A little further down.”
“You mean here?”
“Left, left, no, you went too far. Just slightly to the right. Ah, there, there.”
“Here you go?”
“Oh, right. there. “A little harder.”
“You mean like this?”
“…Quick!”
Rachiel let out a scream that sounded like a pig being cut. It had to be that way. This was because Damian, who was massaging the nape of her neck, applied too much force. Seungmogeun almost shouted ‘Goodbye, everyone!’ and said goodbye to his body forever.
“Ugh, it’s too strong.”
“…sorry.”
“Let’s do better. huh?”
“….”
Damian felt embarrassed. Why do I have to massage the crown prince’s neck this morning? And why…
“I wonder why Your Majesty never rests like this.”
“hmm?”
“I’m worried. “You stayed up most of the night last night attending the banquet, so is there any reason why you have to stay up so much?” I
was honestly curious. I was puzzled and did not understand.
Damian looked around. This was in the middle of the villa garden. Before I knew it, the sun was pouring down on a late winter morning. And the crown prince was lounging with his legs stretched out on an armchair that had been placed out in the garden.
“….”
What on earth are we going to do?
Why do I have to be like this in the middle of the garden all morning? The more I thought about it, the more unanswerable questions arose like a spring deep in the mountains.
However, the crown prince’s answer on his return only added more ambiguity to the question.
“reason? Yes. “Because a guest is coming.”
“Customer… you mean?”
“uh. gate crasher.”
“….”
“There is an uninvited guest who wants to think about it for a moment and then come back. But, based on my intuition, I think he’ll be back in the morning. So I’m waiting like this. “I don’t want to be greeted by waking up panting after falling asleep.”
“…who is that? “Do you have anything to do with that sign?”
Damian looked away, feeling his suspicion growing stronger. Where his eyes were directed. An improvised sign was erected there. The words ‘Negotiations welcome’, hand-scrawled by the Crown Prince on the sign, were particularly noticeable.
‘Negotiation?’
Who on earth is the crown prince going to negotiate with? There was no place to guess. But this person is clearly after something. That was the only thing that felt certain. The crown prince whom I have observed and experienced from the side until now was a person who always did things with his true intentions hidden behind his head.
“….”
A person who really knows but doesn’t know. Damian’s gaze at the crown prince became complicated. On the other hand, the corners of Raquiel’s eyes narrowed.
“Uh huh. also. also. Are you thinking about something else? “Are you slowly losing strength in your hands?”
“….”
“Let’s massage it a little more clearly. huh?”
“But your highness. “Aren’t there other special forces members?”
“huh?”
“Why must I be the only one like this?”
“Because if there were other crew members, it would cause a fuss?”
“…yes?”
“There is such a thing.”
Rakiel grinned. It was said as if it were a joke, but it was absolutely true. The elf might be returning soon, so it seemed best to keep the area around her as empty as possible when she comes. The same was true for both the Royal Guard and the Special Forces.
‘Because even if they are all there, they won’t be able to stop the elf.’
Suddenly, the events of last night came to mind. The elf woman, whose name I still don’t know, casually passed through the tight security of the second prince’s palace and entered the terrace. Simply excellent stealth skills? It wasn’t at that level.
‘There was even Damian inside the banquet hall. But…’
Even Damian couldn’t detect the elf’s presence. That was a huge deal. Because Damian has reached the level of advanced sword expert. This is because I suffer from Sword Master Syndrome, which makes my entire body extremely sensitive.
‘That would mean that the elf woman’s skills are superior to the current Damian’s. If I were to guess, it’s probably… somewhere between advanced sword expert and sword master?’
Perhaps it is almost comparable to the Sword Master. So, a clumsy confrontation will only cause commotion. It would be better for both of us if we talked quietly with only Damian by our side.
That was around the time Rachiel was thinking.
…Whoop.
A weak breeze blew from somewhere. In late winter, a single magnolia petal was carried by the wind and passed before my eyes. It blocked my view for a very brief moment. I blinked my eyes. And when I opened my eyes again….
“I came back after thinking about it for a while.”
Before I knew it, the elf woman had returned. As if it had been there from the beginning. So naturally. An emotionless gaze was cast towards us from three steps away.
Thanks(?) Damian’s massage was stopped.
“…!”
The black-haired escort’s hand moved like a flash. I grabbed the handle of the sword with a movement that didn’t even require the slightest unnecessary effort. pulled out No, it was the moment when I was about to pull it out.
“Damian stop.”
Rakiel’s calm voice interrupted Damian. Damian’s kicking and kicking movements suddenly stopped. He asked, fixing his gaze on the elf woman standing silently.
“Is that elf, by any chance, the guest you spoke of?”
“uh. So there’s no need to pull out your sword.”
“….”
gulp.
Damien’s neck moved up and down. He could sense it as soon as he saw it. That elf is strong. Maybe no, maybe more than yourself.
‘I can’t tell what level of skill you have.’
I couldn’t figure it out. Even looking at my standing position, I couldn’t feel anything. The meaning was simple. It means that he is a person with a level of skill that he cannot understand.
“….”
When did the crown prince meet such an elf? When did we first meet? I couldn’t figure it out. There was nothing left to guess.
Meanwhile, the elf woman opened her mouth.
“Sylvia. “It’s my name.”
After revealing her name, her eyes glanced at the sign that said ‘Negotiations Welcome’.
“If we’re going to formally negotiate, we need to at least make a clear statement.”
“Welcome. Still, you came early. “I was wondering what would happen if you came tomorrow.”
“I was originally going to do that.”
“….”
“After thinking about it for a while, I thought there would be no answer even if I thought about it longer, so I just came early.”
“Is that so?”
“Hmm.”
“I guess it’s because you can’t be satisfied with money alone, right?”
“…what?”
The elf woman Sylvia’s eyebrows twitched faintly. Rakiel’s smile became softer that much.
“That’s the offer I made last night. No matter how much I think about it, I really like it because I think it will be mutually beneficial, but I like it and it’s tempting, but if I can’t bear to accept it, I feel like something is missing. “Isn’t that right?”
“….”
Sylvia’s mouth fell shut.
Looking at that, Rakiel was convinced. He said his guess was correct. I think the plan I made all night long will work.
He said it with confidence.
“Then, let’s try to reinforce the suggestion we made yesterday.”
“Reinforcement?”
“yes. “I will save your life.”
“….”
Sylvia’s eyes narrowed.
But Rachiel didn’t care.
“It’s not a threat like I’ll kill you if you don’t accept the offer. “I don’t think I will live long anyway without having to use my hands.”
“…What do you mean?”
“You. “Do you know that you have a disease that you are not aware of?”
“….”
What does it really mean? Is this a cunning pun peculiar to humans? Sylvia looked at Rachiel with even more wary eyes. Rachiel continued.
“I felt it last night when you first approached me. An alien sound that is ever so slightly mixed with your breathing. And a faint smell of inflammation every time you exhale. “Don’t you have dark green phlegm every morning?”
“….”
“You’ll be right.”
“What do you mean?”
“It means that if you accept the offer of compensation in exchange for money, we will provide treatment. “Like some kind of package compensation.”
“under.”
A laugh came out of Sylvia’s mouth.
“It’s ridiculous for a young human. okay. The symptoms you just described are correct. I have strong phlegm every morning. It’s true that breathing has become a bit difficult these days. But what’s wrong with that? This is a mild symptom that will get better if you stay in a place with clean air and rest for a few years. But are you trying to be condescending by offering to treat something like that?”
“I don’t think this is a mild symptom.”
“How can you be sure of that?”
“Because I saw it myself.”
“what?”
Sylvia felt dumbfounded. But Rakiel didn’t care about her reaction at all. Rather, he calmly put his hand into his bosom, as if he had expected this kind of reaction.
He took it out again in his hand….
“It’s been a while, Bbobok?”
“Bbook! “Pobok!”
Bboboki, a fantastic species of Phoenix sunfish, shouted happily. Rakiel said something meaningful to Bbobok.
“It was yesterday morning. “Can you show me the video I sent you right now?”
“kiss!”
Bbobok nodded. The dodongsil floated away from Rakiel’s palm. It spread its pectoral fins wide. Soon, the 16:9 ratio fin display was brightly lit. And in it…
Partszuzuzu…!
Last night, when the elf Sylvia was holding a dagger to her neck, the result of the pulse skill option ‘CT Output’ that Rachiel had activated at the moment their bodies touched was displayed on the flame fin display.
…Fazzz!
The first image that came to mind was an entirely reddish background. The round tissue, like a cluster of grapes, faintly swayed with the flow of air.
“Do you see it? “It’s a sight in your lungs.”
“What is this…”
Sylvia’s brow furrowed. I had no idea what this young human, the crown prince, was trying to do now. At that time, Rakiel pointed to one side of the video that appeared on the flame fin.
“And this thing here is a parasite coiled in your lungs.”
“helminth…?”
“yes. From the time you approached me last night. “I could foresee signs of the disease through the sound of breathing, the smell of the breath, etc. and made a diagnosis.”
“….”
“Anyway, if you keep holding this in, your condition will get more and more serious.”
“….”
Sylvia kept her mouth shut.
In fact, she didn’t trust Rachiel at all. However, I could believe the strange sunfish that appeared before my eyes. I realized it as soon as I saw it. It’s a phantom species.
‘Because the phantom species… do not lie.’
Suddenly, I remembered what the clan elder had said. The elder also said that when he was young, he collaborated with a cunning man called Lloyd Frontera. He also said that he suffered quite a bit. But did you also say that you could trust that person because he had a phantom species?
‘The elder said. They say the phantom species don’t lie.’
Therefore, the video inside the fin of that phantom sunfish species is not a manipulation or a lie. It may be true to say that those wriggling bugs that at first glance resemble kidney beans are coiled up in one’s lungs.
“Then what on earth is that?”
In the end, Sylvia couldn’t bear it anymore and asked.
At that moment, Rachiel smiled brightly. It was as if he had been waiting for that question. Or, he said as if he sincerely welcomed an elf with an incredible lifespan as a patient.
“It is Paragonimus westermani.”
