The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 278

Episode 278 Take off the pods (3)

Everyone has memories that they only share with certain people. Things like minor secrets or special moments of events. Such bundles of memories. People often call it ‘memories’.

It was the same with Javilon.

Surgeon Lee Han. The person I want to keep as my doctor for the rest of my life. An important being that I definitely want to find.

Those memories with Army Surgeon Lee Han were special memories to him. I have never forgotten it even for a moment. This was true even while undergoing various harsh mental experiments in the magic laboratory. I was able to endure the pain thanks to my memories of Army Doctor Lee Han. I was able to avoid collapsing.

It was the same even after escaping from the laboratory. Although his mind was broken due to the cruel experiment and the threads of his memories were cruelly tangled, his memories with Army Doctor Lee Han were still precious. I didn’t want to forget. I embraced and protected it until the end.

That was because it was the only light shining on me in the dark despair.

But…

“How do you know those things?”

Javilon’s voice trembled.

I couldn’t believe it.

Military doctor Lee Han, who deceived himself and tried to escape. At that time, I remembered the excuse that Surgeon Lee Han had given. They said you should pray to the moon once a month. They said that if you don’t do it, you will lose the ability to make headaches go away.

To be honest, I felt doubtful even at the time. However, the fear of the pain he would have to experience if his abilities disappeared was greater than his doubts about Army Surgeon Lee Han.

So I pretended I couldn’t win and allowed it.

And I was deceived.

Surgeon Lee Han ran away. By abandoning myself. So coldly.

“…Let me tell you. “Prince, how come you know the lies that Army Doctor Li Han told?”

“Uh, how did it happen?”

Rakiel grinned.

Unlike Javilon, who was engulfed in confusion, he still maintained a calm demeanor. Also, he did not directly claim that he was Army Surgeon Lee Han.

‘of course. I say with my own mouth that I am Army Surgeon Lee Han! If I do this, I might not be able to trust you even more.’

You may get a backlash for impersonating someone. Suspicion is gained and trust is lost. So Rachiel spoke slyly, with a triple embossed titanium plate covering her face.

“What… I was just thinking about it?”

“After a thought…?”

“It’s just like a memory. Oh right. Do you remember that time? You tried to cut off my leg. “I was running away on horseback, and you openly swung your sword.”

“….”

“I was a little scared back then. I’m glad I didn’t get cut. is not it?”

“Who are you really…?”

“Prince. Of Magentano.”

“But how can you talk like you personally experienced things that only Doctor Lee Han and I know about?”

“well?”

Stop being silly.

To make you even more curious.

I’m so impatient that I can’t stand it.

Let me be eaten by impatience.

‘The pebble throwing stops here.’

That’s enough. Even at this rate, ripples of doubt and embarrassment would already be rushing through Javilon’s mind like a tidal wave.

‘If we push further here, it will have the opposite effect.’

So it’s better to stop here.

I am so frustrated that I die. To be more curious.

Rachiel ignored Javilon’s question. Instead, he raised his head and shouted towards Anansha across the square.

“To exchange! “Come this way!”

“…good night!”

Anansha responded immediately.

In fact, it was Anansha who was bouncing with her heart pounding in real time. The reason was simple.

‘Prince, what is he planning now?’

They suggested exchanging hostages.

After discussing everything with each other.

A little while ago, he suddenly started saying strange things to Javilon. Because he shared hearing with Javilon, he could hear all the words.

But the content was unusual.

‘Could it be… that the crown prince was actually military doctor Lee Han?’

I once had that kind of doubt for a while. Of course I thought not. Because in my opinion, the possibility of that happening was low. It was dismissed as speculation. At least that was the case at the time.

But looking at it now, Javilon’s reaction was very meaningful. The Crown Prince’s words. That seemed to be a memory that only Surgeon Rihan and Javilon knew. The moment I noticed that, my stomach sank. A tremendous sense of crisis literally came over me.

‘That mouth… needs to be shut!’

From the beginning, he made himself known as Army Surgeon Lee Han. Thanks to that brainwashing, I succeeded in controlling my mind. But what if that brainwashing is broken? What if the false pods come off? What if Javilon realizes that he is not Surgeon Rihan?

At that moment, the mental control is released. Even that monstrous Sword Master will turn hostile.

‘Then it’s all over.’

Anansha became urgent.

I hurried to close the crown prince’s mouth as quickly as possible.

“Let’s go.” Let’s go quickly!”

Instead, he urged Damian, who was holding on to him. I crossed the square at a brisk pace. Finally, we reached a place ten steps away from the crown prince.

The crown prince greeted us with a strangely relaxed smile.

“Oh my. “The evil spirit of this situation is busy coming.”

“….”

“Then shall we start exchanging hostages?”

“good night!”

“Oh, before that, I have a little question.”

“There’s no need, so let’s start with exchanging hostages.”

“Nope?”

“….”

“I don’t want to be released until my curiosity is resolved. What should I do?”

“…!”

Isn’t the crown prince crazy?

Anansha almost cursed without realizing it. But whether he burst out in anger or not, Rakiel just calmly answered his questions.

“What’s your name?”

“…me?”

“okay. You should at least know the name of the evil beast who dared to have his subordinates create a mess at the canonization ceremony and attempt to kidnap me, the crown prince of the empire, right? “At least I think I have the right to know that.”

“Are you planning on arresting me?”

“no. Your Majesty made a promise. “I won’t make any attacks.”

“….”

“Do you feel uneasy about revealing the name of the subject who committed such a bold act? He’s more timid than he looks…”

“Surgeon Lee Han. “My name is Rihan.”

“aha. Is that so?”

“Yes.”

Anansha replied as if he was chewing. Meanwhile, I took a quick look at Javilon, where the crown prince was being held captive.

“….”

He doesn’t look good.

The moment he revealed his name as Army Surgeon Lee Han, his eyes clearly showed suspicion. The slightest crack of doubt. But doesn’t even a huge embankment eventually collapse due to small cracks?

‘not good. That kind of suspicion… becomes dangerous if left unattended.’

Doubt is like a poisonous mushroom. Once it takes root, no amount of mind control magic can control it. So, it must be removed as soon as it occurs.

Anansha made up his mind and opened his mouth. He put a lot of effort into making up words to remove the doubts that had begun to grow inside Javilon.

“I once worked as a military doctor. I wandered around the battlefield. Then, when I heard that a civil war had broken out in Amboise, I immediately joined the war.”

“Is that so?”

“okay. “I met the author there.”

Anansha recalled the stories he had heard from Javilon over the past few days. Amboise Civil War. Meeting with Army Surgeon Lee Han. Even the times we spent together. He described the memory as believably as possible.

“As soon as I met that person, Javilon, I realized. You are suffering from a terrible headache. So I relieved the author of his headache. “It was truly… a magical moment.”

“Yeah?”

“Yes. That incident became a fate that continues to this day. With a trust that never lets go of each other even for a moment. “It’s a relationship of perfect trust where we can’t even imagine betraying or leaving each other.”

“Aha, is that so?”

“of course. However, I did spend some time away from him. But that wasn’t my true intention. It was an unavoidable situation. So it was very heartbreaking.”

“Hehe, did you say that?”

“of course. Prince, you will never be able to understand someone like you who is intoxicated with high status and power and takes care of subordinates. A relationship of perfect trust where we purely trust each other. “I will never be able to enjoy a relationship like that between Army Doctor Lee Han and that person.”

His voice was full of pride.

In order to melt away any doubts Javilon may have had for a moment, he made his voice sound as serious and serious as possible. I didn’t forget to send a warm look towards Javilon.

I thought that would work.

I thought that Javilon would also forget his doubts and see me as Doctor Rihan, and that he would react as he did recently, saying that he was very happy to finally be with Doctor Rihan.

Thanks to this, Javilon’s reaction was…

“Haha hahaha.”

Laughed!

He smiled brightly when he saw this!

“As expected, Surgeon Lee Han. “So… that’s what you were thinking of me?”

“That’s right. “Isn’t that obvious?”

thank god.

Trust me!

Anansha was inwardly delighted.

It seemed like this well-concocted lie worked. Anansha spoke hastily to drive a wedge into that belief.

“I always thought of you like that. “He is an important person who I don’t want to be apart from and don’t want to lose.”

“okay. yes. “That’s it.”

“Of course. Haven’t you always said that? I am yours. “It’s like family.”

“family?”

“Yes family. “So precious and warm.”

“Family… precious… warm…?”

“That’s who you are to me.”

“is it?”

“yes. “Really.”

A more friendly face with a more trustworthy face. Just like Dr. Lee Han actually did. Anansha eagerly responded to Javilon’s words.

But that was then.

Javilon, who was smiling brightly, tilted his head slightly.

“family? “Is it warm?”

“yes?”

“It’s strange. “Surgeon Lee Han?”

“yes?”

“My family wasn’t warm to me?”

“What….”

Crumbled.

Anansha paused.

I could see Javilon’s smile hardening little by little. The question that suddenly appeared in this direction was also the same.

“Especially my father…”

“Oh, that’s…”

“Doctor Lee Han? “There was a secret I told you a while ago, do you remember?”

“Sure.”

“And how did my father die?”

“Of course…”

“By whose hand did he die?”

Now the smile had disappeared from Javilon’s face. Instead, the expression that occupied that empty space was something like sadness or anger.

Anansha unconsciously felt her heart pounding and shook her head as best as she could. What if Javilon makes that look when mentioning his father’s death? There’s probably a sad and resentful story behind it. He gave an appropriate answer in line with such expectations.

“That… was truly painful and sad. “It still breaks my heart when I think of that enemy.”

“…okay?”

“yes. “Like you.”

“is it?”

“Sure.”

“okay. Right.”

“yes.”

Phew, is that the correct answer? lived

… It was a moment when I was trying to swallow my heart.

“My father died in my hands.”

“…yes?”

“Who are you?”
