The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 128

Episode 128 The Chase of the Crazy Guys (1)

“It’s been a long time, Your Highness. “I never thought I would see you like this.”

“OK. “I agree.”

It was a foggy morning. Rachiel smiled brightly as she looked at Damian, listening to the sound of an owl coming from somewhere.

And I removed the spider webs that were stuck to various parts of my hair.

“Oh, spider. Ugh bug.”

It wasn’t just the hair. The nape of the neck and other parts of the top were a mess.

The spider’s web was basic, and its entire body was covered in dust and juice from crushed moss. This was because I crawled through a narrow, dark cave.

“But how did you know there was a cave like that on the hillside?”

Damian asked.

Rakiel shrugged his shoulders.

“just. “Somehow, by chance.”

“By chance?”

“uh. I was following Javilon and heard what the soldiers were saying. I found a good hole for desertion. “They were chatting amongst themselves, but when they made eye contact with me, they quickly shut their mouths.”

…Of course, it’s a blatant lie.

The story of the soldiers was in fact a hollow cave, which I knew about thanks to reading the novel Demon Sword Emperor.

‘A great war waged against the empire by Amboise in the novel, led by Javilon. ‘At the beginning of the war, a big battle took place in this area.’

Damian participated in that battle as a mercenary for the Empire. At the end of the fierce battle, the entire mercenary force was abandoned by the regular army.

It was literally used as a discard card. Thanks to this, Damian and the mercenary leader were stranded behind enemy lines and lost.

‘At that time, Damian and the mercenary leader accidentally discovered a cave in the middle of the hill.’

Thanks to this, I was able to hide safely. He could have escaped the battlefield with his life.

It is said to be the leftmost mound of the three hills rising high on the plain in front of Valois Fortress.

It was because I remembered that scene.

I thought I could use the dog hole cave. I made a plan. He measured his angle and spread lies to Javilon.

They gave me a lot of scares, telling me that I had to pray or the effect of the treatment would disappear.

It was successful.

Javilon seemed a little suspicious, but eventually fell for their trick.

They obediently prepared a place to pray at the top of the hill, and as soon as the full moon rose, they attempted to escape through the hole.

Thanks to this, I was just able to meet Damian and Sir Gardin again.

“But Sir Gardin?”

“…Yes, Your Highness?”

“Aren’t you happy with me?”

“Nice to meet you?”

“But why are you looking at me like that? “Like someone who has encountered some kind of ghost.”

It’s not that he wasn’t, Sir Gardin’s complexion turned pale. Well, if you run that facial expression analyzer, I think 10000% fear will show up.

His expression was like that of a person in fear.

“Are you scared of me?”

Rakiel tilted his head. Sir Gardin shook his head.

“No, that’s not it…”

“Or?”

I took a step closer. Sir Gardin was startled and took two steps back.

“Huh huh, that big spider…!”

“….”

“There is also a money holder on my shoulder!”

“….”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

“Shh.”

“…Eup-eup.”

“okay. Be quiet. “Are we secretly running away now?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Are you afraid of bugs?”

“….”

Sir Gardin lowered his head as if embarrassed. Was it really like that? Rachiel frowned and shook off her clothes.

“Would I like to hang out like this too? “The cave is so humid and cramped.”

“Is that so?”

“uh. “So I was wondering if centipedes wouldn’t show up.”

“…omg.”

“I wanted to catch you when it comes out. “What a good medicine that is.”

“….”

“That’s it. I’m glad the plan worked out well. “Because we can connect so tightly.”

I meant it. I was really fortunate.

Was it yesterday?

There was a time when Javilon had a brief meeting with rebel executives. At that time, I was alone for a while. I took advantage of that gap.

I wrote a note and gave it to Kkosomi. It was a note containing plans for today’s escape and rendezvous location. I sent it to Lord Gardin.

The result was successful.

Lord Gardin and Damian came to meet us at the exact location and time we wanted. That wasn’t all. I packed it all together meticulously.

“Kukkya!”

“Yes, nice to meet you. “It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”

“dream!”

Now that we had met safely, it was time to move.

“Come this way.”

The group walked through a foggy forest. But the forest was not large. After walking for a while, the trees seemed to become sparse and the forest ended.

For an instant, my vision cleared up. The plain between the kingdom’s Valois fortress and the rebel army’s garrison spread out before my eyes.

“What do you plan to do from here?”

There was tension in Damian’s question. In fact, he was skeptical about this escape. This was because I thought it was too dangerous.

‘The location is not good. Because it is an open area, it will be almost impossible to move while hiding during the day. A forced breakthrough would be even more impossible.’

What does the crown prince plan to do? Damian looked back at Rachiel.

Rachiel grinned.

“How can I do it? “You have to move at the right time.”

“Timing?”

“The time when the rebel search and patrol unit moves and shifts.”

“…no way.”

“uh. “I know everything.”

Rakiel shrugged his shoulders.

“I was held tightly by Javilon’s side. Thanks to this, even if I didn’t want to know, I found out automatically. Deployment status of units at each level, security times for each area, precautions for shifts, etc. Because they were all displayed in large letters in Javilon’s lodgings. “I even received reports from time to time.”

“Have you figured it all out?”

“uh. I memorized the whole thing. “It’s all about the timing of their security being lax during the shift of their search and patrol units.”

It was true.

It was information that could determine the success or failure of escape. I worked hard and risked my life to memorize it. Fortunately, my memorization was pretty good, so it wasn’t that difficult.

“So now is the time… You know how to see the constellations, right?”

“yes.”

“Do you want to find where the silk net is?”

“It hasn’t been long since it emerged from the horizon.”

“Then now. let’s go.”

Rachiel jumped up from the bushes. Damian and Sir Gardin were startled.

However, Rachiel walked a few steps as if nothing had happened and then looked back at the two.

“You say you can’t miss the timing? Follow me. hurry.”

“….”

It seems like I really memorized it.

Lord Gardin and Damian looked at each other and stood up. The crown prince followed. Fortunately, the fog was quite thick, so I felt reassured.

How long did it take to walk like that? Rachiel stopped at a place where there was a pile of rocks in the center of the plain.

Then I went under a large gap where two rocks overlapped. He gestured towards the two people.

“come in. “I should rest here.”

“….”

“hurry. “If I wander around, I’ll get caught?”

The two obediently followed the prince’s words.

Damian asked.

“majesty. “Is it safe here?”

“uh. surely.”

Rachiel smiled and sat down on her haunches in a comfortable corner between the rocks.

“Because it’s in the center of the plain. “It is a place monitored by both the kingdom army and the rebel army.”

“Then even more…”

“It’s safe. This is a point where neither side can exert proper influence. Because it’s a tough place to send out patrols. So we will rest here today.”

Rakiel revealed his plan.

To the east of this plain were high mountain ranges and the kingdom’s Valois fortress. In the west? An entire army of rebels was stationed there.

In other words, it was a patty between a hamburger bun and a fortress in the east and a rebel army in the west.

“You have to see that there is no way out to the east or west. That’s why. Like this, we will slowly move north along the center of the plain. “Because there is relatively little security there.”

Rachiel, who had said that much, lay down on her seat openly.

Only then did Damian and Lord Gardin realize the prince’s intentions. After hearing it, the crown prince’s words seemed plausible.

‘but. There is no way out, either west or east. Besides, this seems like a place where neither the kingdom army nor the rebel army will move openly. ‘I don’t think there’s any need to approach me because I’m worried about keeping the other person in check.’

‘yes. Thanks to the rock, it seems safe from gazes from both sides.’

All you have to do is stay here during the day(?). You can move when it gets dark again. Finally, the two felt relieved.

It was from then on.

The group took a rest in a crevice in the rock. I rolled around, chewing bread and beef jerky.

I admired the blue sky and white clouds peeking through the cracks in the rocks.

It was a time that felt like a picnic in its own way, except that there were bloody armies of the kingdom and rebels facing off on both sides.

But that happiness didn’t last long. This was because before the sun had yet risen in the sky, a loud shout was heard from the rebel camp to the west.

“Military doctor Lee Han-!”

“…!”

Just as I was about to take a nap, a sudden shout pierced my eardrums. It was a tremendous voice. It was so enormous that it filled the plain.

It felt like hundreds of elephants were singing in chorus. Or, it seemed like I had accidentally set the volume on my earphones to max and turned on the radio.

Besides, this was a familiar voice.

‘Javilon?’

I knew it as soon as I heard it. I suddenly lost sleep. Javilon’s overwhelming cry came again.

“I know you’re hiding somewhere nearby! Because not one of our warhorses has disappeared! Even if you ran away on foot with your two best servants, you wouldn’t have gotten far! “You wouldn’t have been able to pass my legion’s surveillance with those steps!”

“….”

I know.

I got a little goosebumps. But there was another cry that really gave me goosebumps.

“So now you! It’s probably hiding somewhere in the plains! For betraying my trust! Like a rat! You’ll be crouching down and listening to me! “That’s not true!”

“….”

He is also not an easy person. Rachiel felt the fur on her forearms stand up.

An angry shout filled with mana, characteristic of the Sword Master of Javilon, followed.

“So tell me! I treated you with sincerity! You were the one who abandoned my heart first! but! I still want to be sincere with you! Come out! Please forgive me this once! I will never kill you for this! “I promise!”

“….”

It’s a promise.

Forgive me.

Rakiel kept his mouth shut. At the same time, I could feel Lord Gardin and Damian’s gaze looking back at me nervously.

Suddenly, the contents of the novel Demon Sword Emperor came to mind. In it, I also remembered what kind of promises and forgiveness Javilon used to say.

‘okay. I will keep my promise. You won’t kill me. It’s just a form of saving one’s life.’

They’ll probably have both legs amputated. He will only leave this hand to treat his headache.

I’m going to tie it up so it can’t escape again. That’s what Javilon means by forgiveness.

“….”

I got a little goosebumps again. Meanwhile, the cries of Javilon’s evil continued.

“Come out! Help me to have a heart of forgiveness! I’ll give you a chance! “Please show yourself until I shout three!”

“…majesty?”

Sir Gardin asked anxiously.

I shook my head at him.

Anyway, that Javilon guy is playing bullshit. I don’t know exactly where this is. So I guess they’re just making threats like that.

“three!”

Javilon’s thunderous cry rang out. Rachiel smiled and looked back at Sir Gardin.

“don’t worry. “You just say things like that and there’s nothing you can actually do.”

Rachiel was confident.

As the plains were shouting for them to leave, the kingdom’s army in the fortress must have heard that sound.

They are probably on high alert and preparing for any emergency.

“…two!”

“If that guy moves his army, the kingdom’s army will respond immediately. You’ll have to fight a battle you didn’t want to fight. So, Javilon, you can’t move that guy’s horse like that.”

Rakiel was sure. This was the location where I aimed for that. I felt reassured again.

“one!”

Javilon’s shout was filled with venom. But I wasn’t worried. After that, silence followed. As expected, I wanted to.

‘It was a lie.’

The prediction was correct. Rachiel smiled. That was certainly the case until the next moment when thousands of flaming arrows fell across the plain.

…Roaring!

The reeds and weeds of the plains, which turned yellow in the fall, were dried by the midday sun and were instantly engulfed in flames.

The fire began to spread everywhere. Soon it became a fierce fire and covered the entire plain.

Of course, the area near where the group hid was no exception!

“…that crazy guy.”

At that moment, Rachiel had to realize two things. One is that Javilon is a much more crazy man than he thought. And the other is…

‘Maybe I should settle the show with that guy here today.’

A premonition that suddenly came to mind made my heart beat loudly.
