The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 407
Episode 407 If you look closely… huh? (2)
Teuong!
-…!
Am embarrassed.
It’s just a hazy film. It’s as hazy as smoke and looks as thin as milk poured into water, so it looks like it can be stirred with just a wave of the hand.
however.
Can not be done.
That doesn’t work.
No, even if I throw my whole body at it, I won’t be able to break through it.
It just gets caught up in the soft repulsion force and bounces back naturally.
Teueuung-!
– Haha…!
Actinus, a member of the family of plague, rolled around in embarrassment. I woke up shaking my head roughly. I didn’t understand. A hazy curtain suddenly appeared a moment ago and completely enveloped the city. I couldn’t get through this.
why?
why?
No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know.
The more I did, the more urgent my feelings grew.
– Hahaha!
I looked at the top of the castle wall beyond the hazy curtain. ‘He’ was there. An object containing the mana of a fellow dragon. The human who owned it was looking down from above.
I hated it. I felt resentful. That human took away the scent of his people. The whole time he was preventing me from embracing it.
On the one hand, I wanted to pray. Please let me smell the scent of my own people. because I missed you. It’s so far away. Because I want to be held in my mother’s warm arms. Because I want to be protected. I wanted to beg. please. to me. That thing. Smell. body temperature. The texture. Everything. please.
However, the silver-haired human who was looking down quickly looked away. As if asking when our eyes met. As if avoiding this side.
– ….
It hurt. Resentment grew. My nervousness and my desire to beg grew even greater. The more it did, the more fiercely it rushed towards the hazy curtain. Just take this away. okay. If only this goes away. So please.
Wow!
Rushing in. It bounces off. Rolling around. Get up and run again. eternally. Forever. Without stopping. Without stopping. As big as the longing. continue. And on and on.
– Sssssssssssssssss!
The gestures of Actinus, a member of the Plague clan made from the remains of a baby dragon that had been unfairly murdered, became more desperate and desperate.
♣
Magentano Empire.
When I think of them, my heart always beats desperately. I feel devastated and saddened. It was natural. Sacrificing your life to prevent a large-scale invasion of Magentano that may occur someday. Because that is my biggest mission and duty.
But…
“Nice to meet you.” “This is Raquiel Adria Magentano, Crown Prince of Magentano.”
“…Det?”
Breda Tennbach, the mayor of Tennion, the border city of Harmion, had hiccups without realizing it. I couldn’t help it. A mysterious knight who took off his helmet right before my eyes. A hero who willingly fought against monsters to save the city. That’s why his bare face was so shocking.
‘….’
Is what I see right now really true?
Mayor Breda put his brain into full use, feeling like he was urgently searching through the drawers of his memories. A conclusion was soon reached. The silver-haired young man in front of me is the crown prince of Magentano. It’s a face I definitely saw in the list of portraits of important imperial figures that I had memorized sometime ago.
“under. haha. under.”
I couldn’t help it.
I tried not to laugh, but I couldn’t help it. It was so absurd that I couldn’t help but laugh with only one side of my mouth. No matter how much I thought about what other response I should give, I couldn’t think of an appropriate response.
“You must have been very surprised. I understand.”
The crown prince looks towards us with a slightly bitter smile. He said, glancing back at the monster outside the castle walls.
“I never thought I would visit a city in a neighboring country like this.”
“Huh ha. “I agree.”
The mayor suddenly did the lamprey ascension dance and calmed down his spirit that was about to evaporate. I barely answered the prince’s words. And on the other hand, I thought.
Today I have no choice but to welcome the Crown Prince of Magentano.
“….”
Before he was the crown prince of a potential enemy nation, the silver-haired young man in front of him was a benefactor who saved this city with heroic courage and actions. Almost everyone in the city watched the action.
Moreover, the crown prince had already expressed his gratitude for that fact with his own mouth before he took off his helmet, so it was impossible to harm him now.
‘No, more than that…’
Isn’t he the mayor of the city and at the same time a descendant of a great knight family? It is not honorable to hit a benefactor without justification. It is not desirable.
Mayor Breda said after gathering his thoughts.
“First of all, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to you for lending a helping hand to our city, which was like a candle before the storm. So…”
“I guess it would be better to move my seat a little, right?”
Did he guess what was going on here?
The crown prince shrugged his shoulders and asked.
A smile appeared on the mayor’s face.
“Please follow me.”
To a place where there are no eyes or ears around. The mayor guided the crown prince and his companions to his office. Only there I was able to ask honest questions.
“I want to ask. “Why on earth did the Crown Prince of Magentano appear here?”
I was curious.
I didn’t understand.
Is there some political intention? Or is there an imminent change in Magentano’s domestic power structure? The crown prince probably didn’t come to request asylum. I had a million thoughts and guesses.
Of course, his guess was all wrong.
“I came to catch that monster earlier.”
“…yes?”
The moment the mayor heard the crown prince’s answer, he couldn’t believe his ears. It was a type of answer I had never expected. The crown prince continued.
“That monster. Looks like a bone dragon. “I’m here to catch him.”
“Could it be the crown prince himself?”
“yes.”
“….”
why?
why?
I didn’t understand any more.
A meaningful smile appeared on the crown prince’s lips.
“I know this may sound strange. It will happen. “This is a situation where the crown prince of a country arbitrarily crossed the border of another country, leading a small group of people to catch a dangerous monster whose identity is unknown.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“You don’t suspect it’s a lie?”
“yes.”
“Why?”
“If you really wanted to lie, you would have said something much more believable.”
“This is true. “I guess I should say thank you for trusting me.”
Rachiel smiled bitterly.
And said.
What they have experienced so far. An unprecedented incident in which the border area of the Marginal Territory was devastated. Times when the identity of the cyst was unknown. And even information about radiation exposure.
“… So you had no choice but to hastily produce such armor in small quantities to prevent radiation exposure, and you personally chased down that Bone Dragon and came all the way here to prevent the spread of damage as quickly as possible?”
“The mayor has a talent for summarizing.”
“It’s because the crown prince’s explanation was kind.”
The mayor glanced out the office window. The sunset was already setting. To be honest, I also felt a bit of need to urinate. Yes. This is because the prince’s explanation was as detailed as it was kind and as long as it was detailed. That too too much. To the point where I was worried that blood might have formed in my ear holes.
But anyway, thanks to this, I was able to properly understand the current situation. In addition, a greater sense of crisis was felt.
“Anyway, if everything the crown prince said is true, then this is… a really big deal. “Maybe we will all be dead in 30 days.”
The mayor’s expression became serious.
Rachiel’s brows also hardened.
“What do you mean, everyone dies after 30 days?”
“The tabernacle that is currently blocking Bone Dragon will disappear in 30 days.”
“…no way.”
“Did you guess?”
“That doesn’t mean that the tabernacle is a one-time use, limited to 30 days.”
“Unfortunately, what the Crown Prince guessed was correct.”
“….”
“After 30 days, the tabernacle will disappear, and that Bone Dragon, who has a powerful curse called radioactivity, will enter the city without any interference.”
“Requesting support from outside… wouldn’t be too much, right?”
“yes. Just as you can’t get in from the outside, you can’t get out from the inside either. “Of course, Jeonseo-gu as well.”
“Is it impossible to activate it again as soon as the tabernacle disappears?”
“Unfortunately, that is the case.”
The mayor laughed self-deprecatingly.
“The installation cost is too expensive.”
“….”
At that moment, both the mayor and Rachiel became solemn.
“To activate it once, we have to pour in five years’ worth of the city budget. Additionally, the construction period is also lengthy. Nevertheless, the reason I installed it… I think you can guess it by now.”
“It was a defensive weapon to prepare for a possible invasion by our Magentanos. Is that correct?”
“yes. I didn’t know that I would be staging a sit-in together with the Prince of Magentano in the tabernacle. Even with that guy…”
The mayor’s eyes glanced towards the back. It was in the direction where the Margrave was standing. okay. When I thought about it, I thought that the mayor and the margrave would have an awkward relationship with each other. They must have always been in a position of experiencing minor disputes while facing the border.
But not anymore.
At least not for the next 30 days.
After listening to the mayor’s story, Rachiel summarized the situation.
“In other words, our situation now is like rats in a poison. They are trapped in a poison that is certain to break after 30 days. Is that correct?”
“yes. There is even a roaring beast out there that we have no idea how to fight against. So, I have something I would like to propose to the Crown Prince.”
“It’s a suggestion. What is.”
“Give me the weapon the crown prince has.”
“….”
“It’s not a joke.”
I understand that well enough.
Because the mayor’s eyes do not belong to someone who is joking. However, it is not from someone who threatens or threatens.
“There must be a reason, right?”
“of course. Because I saw it earlier. That monster resembling the Bone Dragon is showing a huge obsession with the weapon the crown prince has.”
“no way.”
“Have you guessed again?”
“It sounds like you are saying that when the tabernacle is taken down in 30 days, we should hand over our weapons to the mayor and our group should run away.”
“It’s the best choice for me.”
“Why?”
“If the crown prince hands over his weapons and runs away, fewer people will die.”
“Do you think that if I were to die with you in this city, an all-out war would break out between us, Magentano, and your country?”
“I think that’s a very high probability.”
“….”
“So please make a wise decision. “I sincerely ask the benefactor who helped this city.”
“….”
Rakiel stared at the mayor.
I could feel the sincerity in the mayor’s eyes. On the one hand, if you think about it calmly, the mayor’s opinion was extremely valid and rational. Everyone in this city is going to die right now, but wouldn’t you want to prevent the worst situation where a radioactive Bone Dragon is installed and an all-out war breaks out between the two countries?
But…
“I will decline the offer I just heard.”
Rachiel shook his head.
Because there is no need to accept it.
Because there is a better way.
“yes?”
The mayor opens his eyes wide.
Rakiel blatantly made a shameless counteroffer to him.
“Instead, let’s make a suggestion here. “Please hand over this city to me.”
“…Yes?”
“Then everyone can live.”
“….”
“It’s true.”
It’s true.
Convinced, Rakiel stepped on the full accelerator of the 8-cylinder engine.
