The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 234

Episode 234 Voluntary Declaration of Support (1)

“Hmm….”

It was early morning.

The Duke of Estoc opened his eyes at almost the same time as usual, as was his habit, when the newly rising sunlight colored the ground like freshly baked bread. And as usual, as soon as I woke up, I frowned.

There was no other reason.

It was a habit.

The pain in my feet that I felt as soon as I opened my eyes.

Having experienced this several times already, it has become a habit to wake up with a frown on my face, even on days when I am not particularly sick.

I wonder if I’m still sick today.

I want to stop feeling pain now.

That thought stuck deep in my subconscious and made me greet every morning with a frown on my face.

Of course, it was the same today.

As was his habit, he frowned, opened his eyes, yawned, raised his upper body, and looked at his right foot, which had been causing a lot of trouble recently.

As expected, it must be incredibly painful today. Because it was like that yesterday and the day before. I was in so much pain that I was hospitalized at the Detached Oriental Medical Clinic. So of course, just like today….

“…Huh?”

The Duke, who was yawning a second time, paused.

weird.

My feet didn’t hurt.

Of course, it didn’t hurt at all. A faint, slightly tingling and stiff feeling remained. But compared to the pain I felt until last night… this wasn’t even at the level of an itch.

‘Why are you doing this?’

I was puzzled.

I was just preparing my heart for the pain that was to come. But I couldn’t believe that despite all my resolve, the pain went away overnight.

It was then.

Knock knock.

Someone knocked on the hospital room door.

The duke knew very well who the person outside the door was.

“I guess you heard me as expected. “Please come in.”

The door opens quietly as soon as permission is given. A nurse with a now familiar face came in. The head nurse called Anise. Did you actually say it was a werewolf?

“Your expression has brightened, Duke?”

“Oh, does it look like that?”

“yes. “Has the pain subsided?”

“I guess… I guess so.”

“Sniff. Sniff. Judging by the smell, it certainly is. “It seems like the fever has gone down quite a bit.”

“Do you feel that?”

“Because I’m a werewolf.”

Anise smiled as if it was natural. It was easy for her to figure out someone’s approximate physical condition through body odor.

Because it’s a werewolf. Because Gaeko surpasses Gaeko. Subtle changes in physical condition, the degree to which pain is felt, and even emotional ups and downs.

“Smells convey more information than you think. Then, let me prepare breakfast. And…”

“I guess I’ll have to take that decoction today too, right?”

“I can’t help it, Duke.”

“I know.”

After Annis left, the Duke looked at his feet with new eyes. Now that I think about it, it seems like the swelling around the base of my toes has gone down quite a bit. Before, it was red and swollen.

It was amazing.

I touched it carefully. Still, I didn’t feel any pain. Until two days ago, I felt like I would die from pain if I even touched the blanket. This was also amazing.

‘Is that terrible-tasting decoction effective?’

Is it really like that?

Getting breakfast.

Drink decoction after meal.

Without fail, my sense of taste was destroyed.

But the terrible taste felt slightly different than before. It was worth drinking a little. Is it because of my mood? Or maybe just today the broth was made a little less bitter than usual. The change in myself came as a new surprise.

“I want to walk a little. “Is that okay?”

“Of course, Duke. “It will be helpful to move your feet little by little as long as it does not cause excessive stimulation to your feet.”

“Right. Thank you, Miss Anise.”

“It was nothing.”

The Duke carefully got down from the hospital bed. The feeling of your feet wearing slippers touching the ground. Now that I think about it, it was the first step I took on my own since I was brought there in the early morning four days ago. During that time, I was in so much pain that I couldn’t even dream of walking properly.

So, take a careful step.

“….”

It’s really okay. It hurts a little, but it’s not that bad.

The duke gained confidence.

I continued to walk slowly, two or three steps. Was it like this when I first learned to walk as a child? He had a smile on his face without realizing it.

I left the hospital room.

For a moment, I was shocked.

If you go out into the hallway, other people will see you. The fact that he was hospitalized at the Detached Oriental Medicine Clinic here has not yet been announced to the outside world. It’s a secret.

“….”

But it’s stuffy.

I was locked in the hospital room for four days. I would like to go out somewhere other than this hospital room. Moreover, I am now taking off the wig I usually wear. He was wearing a patient gown that wasn’t even decorated to the fullest. So, will someone be able to recognize you right away?

‘Probably not. Probably not.’

I hope so.

Because it’s too stuffy to be stuck in a hospital room like this. It would be better to use this somewhat unreasonable wish as an excuse to go out. excuse? excuse? I guess it’s good.

“Whoa.”

I came out into the hallway. Nurses walking around. Those who were all werewolves passed by, bowing towards them.

I walked anywhere, passing them by. There was no specific destination. Because simply walking is the purpose in itself. I guess it was good.

As I walked slowly, the thoughts I had been having for the past few days came to mind. The identity of the thought was doubt. The object of suspicion was the crown prince. To be more precise, I kept having doubts and doubts about the crown prince’s treatment.

‘It was a bit… a very unfamiliar and unusual treatment.’

no.

A more appropriate word would be strange.

With a wry smile, the Duke recalled the treatment he received for four days. My feet had to be covered in thorns every morning. I had to drink a herbal medicine with a terrible taste that was difficult to describe in words.

That wasn’t all.

I was almost forced to drink huge amounts of water every day. I think I drank almost 3 liters a day. It was also difficult because I was not used to it. Thanks to this, I realized how often I had to urinate. It was so painful every time I had to go to the bathroom attached to the hospital room.

However, the pain did not go away for four days. There was no sign of that happening. It was definitely like that until yesterday. So, I just had a lot of doubts.

‘I had no faith… whether the crown prince’s treatment would actually be effective.’

Honestly, it was like that.

It seemed like nonsense.

At times, all of the Crown Prince’s medical practice seemed like that of a quack. Of course, I couldn’t say that out loud, but it was nearly impossible to shake off the doubts in my mind.

It was definitely like that until yesterday.

Maybe I was thinking that way a little bit until just now.

“…So it’s still throbbing here?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Hmm. “It lasts longer than I thought.”

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”

“What am I sorry for?”

A place I arrived at after walking aimlessly(?). End of the hallway. The Duke, who was walking absent-mindedly and lost in thought, stopped when he heard the sound of words coming from ahead.

There was an entrance door at the dead end of the hallway. I saw an unfamiliar nameplate hanging above the entrance door: ‘Physical Therapy Room.’

The sound of speech was coming from inside the physical therapy room.

“Are you continuing to overuse your muscles these days? The place where we originally came together becomes weaker. “If you don’t release it sufficiently and overdo it, it will quickly come together again, so it would be a good idea to adjust the intensity of your training appropriately for the time being.”

“But your highness? “I can’t do that on my own…”

“Why? “What does Sir Frandel say?”

“Yes, Your Highness….”

“Tsk. “Then let me tell you.”

“yes?”

“I’m telling you to exclude the Lord from the group training of the Royal Guard knights for the time being. “Is it okay if I say that?”

“Are you… really me?”

“Really, should I lie then? How stubborn Sir Frandel is. “At least I have to say something for it to be eaten.”

“But Your Highness…”

“Be quiet. “The thorns miss.”

“…Bff!”

A bit harsh tone. Nevertheless, the tone seems to be strangely considerate of the other person. A voice I have become accustomed to hearing every day for the past four days.

‘His Royal Highness?’

The duke peeked inside from the doorway. I saw sturdy men occupying several beds inside the physical therapy room. I could also see thorns on their backs, legs, etc.

The crown prince was busy walking between them and checking on their condition.

“Sergio? “What about here?”

“Ugh… it’s okay, Your Highness.”

“It’s okay to be okay.”

“….”

“There is no way the wound that was hit by the shock wave of the corpse explosion has already healed. Now, what if we do it like this?”

“…Geuaaaa!”

“also. You too, take some rest for a while. “I also adjust my escort work schedule.”

“But your highness?”

“Listen to me. Don’t overdo it. Do you think someone is doing this just to please that side?”

“…yes?”

“You need to get better quickly and protect me better. Your health is my safety and health. If you think about it, this is all an investment for me, right? So, don’t think about anything else and just focus on recovery for the time being.”

“Your Highness…”

the muscular man with a thick beard cried. The crown prince responded with a harsh slap. Still, the man’s wet eyes showed no signs of drying.

The other men around me were the same. Guard knights. Men who were called special forces. All of them were receiving careful treatment while listening to the crown prince’s harsh words.

The duke was deeply surprised when he saw that.

No, I was shocked.

‘oh my god.’

The royal family.

Precious bloodline.

Even the crown prince.

We are rolling up our sleeves for those who are merely sword-guards. We take care of their wounds and pain one by one. Nevertheless, he is smiling faintly as if it is a natural thing without any request.

As if it was something he was born with.

It seems as if their healing is his joy.

‘Was there anyone… such a royal family member… who could do something like that?’

There was none.

I have never seen such a person.

However, there is a person out there who naturally performs amazing acts. This is the future of this imperial family and the person who will become the emperor.

‘I guess I’ve been thinking very wrong about you all this time.’

They thought he was just a member of the royal family who was sickly and had an unstable successor structure. I also thought he was showing off with some of his recent achievements as if he had just crammed. I just thought he was a person with a bizarre hobby of playing hospital, something I had never heard or seen.

But it wasn’t.

I thought I was wrong.

The crown prince over there right now didn’t seem like a person to be dismissed so simply.

Is the successor structure unstable? You achieved a few achievements as if you were cramming? Hospital play is a hobby I’ve never heard or seen?

‘That was all… a hasty idea.’

I was foolish.

I was foolish and had no eyes to see.

That is why, until now, I have not been aware of the seed of the power that could possibly put the Magentano royal family on the most brilliant rock in history.

‘I am…’

The Duke made a firm promise.

From now on, I will become a strong supporter of the crown prince for the rest of his life, putting my name, title, and all authority on the line as head of the noble family.
