The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 189

Episode 189 Precious Reward (1)

A cold wind is blowing.

The blowing cold wind shakes the valve.

In that heartbreaking trembling, the heart lifted its head. I looked down, proudly reigning over the half-destroyed castle wall.

A cool snowstorm blows again. An army of pale despair was rushing towards the castle walls. Hordes of Bordetella whooping cough bacteria were covering every land. To tear down this wall, the last bastion. To finally steal the last piece of life.

‘I can’t leave it like that.’

Absolutely not.

The heart grabbed the hilt of the sword with a solemn heart. Did you read this side’s determination? Adjutant Lungpa, who had been by his side silently until now, cleared his throat.

“Huh! Hehehe!”

“Are you still out of breath, my adjutant?”

“…Huff! “Phew!”

“Okay. I know your determination without even having to try to say it. “All of you must feel the same way as me.”

It was a moment that made my heart repeat itself. Whooping Cough’s army came crashing down on the walls.

– Boom!

The gate, which had barely maintained its shape, trembled precariously. The heart cried out. Shoot! All the organs and cells following him roared. It was a tenacity for victory and a firm protest for survival.

A bloody fight broke out. Finally, the gate was breached. At the vanguard of the collapsing defense line, the heart roared furiously. He decapitated his enemies countless times, splitting their heads and howling. However, it was a heavy burden. The enemy was very numerous and their momentum was extremely fierce. ‘

I can’t handle it

anymore…’

A shadow of despair fell over my heart. I just thought it was like that. But that was then.

…Quaaa-!

A powerful and mysterious wave began pouring down toward the castle from beyond the pure white snowy mountains around the castle walls. It was a situation that no one on the battlefield could have expected, even if their hearts were pounding. Soon my heart realized.

‘Reinforcements.’

A new type of decoction that had never been seen before was pouring into the body. It melted the snow of the cold snowy mountains, climbed over the collapsed castle walls, and swept away the whooping cough army like a torrent.

The heart roared within it. My lungs roared. All organs and cells gave out cries of revival and made the final assault.

It was the prelude to a counterattack.

‘I think I just had a dream about…’

Rakiel narrowed his eyes slightly. Immediately after that, the sunlight penetrates the eyelids. My eyes were dazzling. Is it broad daylight? I thought in a daze.

‘Why was I asleep anyway?’

When I thought about it, it was strange.

The place engraved in his last memory was the kitchen of the upper building. There, he devoted himself to researching new herbal medicines. Somehow, I gained a new option for the decoction preparation skill. It was a strange option that gave a glimpse into the emotions of medicinal herbs.

Thanks to this, I was able to understand the taste(?) of long-rooted licorice. I made the desired recipe for long-rooted licorice and made a decoction. I held on for almost 5 hours and held on again. Of course it was difficult. This is because the typical symptoms of the early stages of whooping cough infection have increased. Because even the fever was boiling.

To be honest, I wanted to black it out. But I endured it. In the end, the decoction was completely brewed. Cooled down. Then, the herbal medicine preparation skill automatically detected the self-prepared herbal medicine. The results of the ingredient analysis came to mind.

But my memories only end there.

“….”

Could it be that I fainted right before seeing the ingredient analysis results? It’s not. I think he shouted something more after that. But no matter how much I tried to remember, nothing in particular came to mind.

‘What happened?’

The more I try to recall my memories, the more my head hurts. Eventually, Rachiel came out of her dazed state completely. I was able to fully open my eyes. Thanks to this, I met the gaze that was looking down at me with concern.

“…majesty? Do you recognize me?”

“Yes, Javilon.”

“majesty?”

“is not it? “Is it Urus?”

“…majesty.”

“Tsk. “The joke doesn’t work.”

“It’s a relief to see that he starts talking as soon as he opens his eyes.”

Only then did Damian smile as if he were relieved. Could it be that he has always been by my side? It seemed like that.

“Anyway, what happened?”

asked Damian.

The guy calmed his expression.

“It was almost like something big would happen. “Because you stayed in bed for two days.”

“…Two days? I?”

“yes. “Don’t you remember?”

“Uhm, not at all.”

“That day two days ago. “Your Majesty, who had locked the kitchen door and was brewing herbal medicine inside, suddenly called out to me.”

“….”

I remember correctly saying something. But what happened after that? I was able to clear my doubts by listening to Damian’s explanation.

“Actually, at that time, I had already heard His Majesty coughing violently and collapsing. So, when His Majesty shouted, the door had already been broken down in one go. Thanks to you, I was able to discover it.”

“discovery? what?”

“Your Majesty was sitting on the floor, on the verge of fainting, holding a bowl of decoction. “My hands were shaking so preciously that I should never spill it.”

“so?”

“I quickly ran over and got the bowl of decoction. Then, His Majesty looked straight into my eyes and gave me a request. “I finally did it.”

“…You did it?”

“yes. He said that he had finally created a decoction that would effectively treat whooping cough, restore lung function, and minimize side effects. And-”

What did I say?

“He told Naila to take this decoction to the child right away and give it to him. That was the last time. “He fainted as soon as he said those words.”

“….”

It finally dawned on me.

The message that appeared before my eyes at the moment before I passed out. The result of the decoction preparation skill. Even the joy I felt when I saw the contents of the new herbal medicine. And even the shouts that the heart and other five organs shouted.

[The five organs and six parts are thrilled with your achievement and let out a shout.]

[Heart: Woooooooooooo! I did it!]

[Lungs: Heh… Hehehehe…!]

[Captain: Brothers, I think I’m tired!]

[Liver: Well, men don’t cry carelessly.]

[Stomach: But why are you so tired? Are you squeezing?]

[Kidney: Oh, I’m not crying hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha]

[The five intestines and six parts are cheering, feeling the hope of survival.]

[The five organs and six parts have donated 700 HP full of joy to you.]

[ Current HP: 3000]

“….”

That’s right.

The decoction was very successful. It was the ideal whooping cough treatment he had hoped for. After checking that, I completely fainted. And now it happened.

But…

“Why am I okay?”

Rachiel looked up at Damian. Suddenly, I remembered the dream I had just before waking up. The heart and the five organs and six organs were fighting a hopeless battle against whooping cough. Meanwhile, reinforcements arrived. Even the roar of the heart that shouted that a new herbal medicine had arrived.

No way, that.

“You didn’t feed me the decoction you told me to give to the child, right?”

I suddenly had a suspicion.

But fortunately, that was just unfounded news.

“no. The child is safe. “After taking the decoction given by His Majesty and feeling calm, my condition gradually improved.”

“okay?”

That’s a good thing, though.

“Then what about me?”

Rakiel asked, tilting his head. The only decoction was one concubine. If I had given it to my child, he would still have whooping cough and be in a hell of a coughing fit.

But no.

No matter how you look at his current physical condition, it does not belong to someone suffering from whooping cough and in critical condition. I couldn’t cough. Although my body may have lost some energy and a slight fever remained, it was not so painful that I would die.

The answer was in Damian’s answer.

“I added the same decoction. “It just so happened that there was a record that His Highness left behind while conducting research.”

“….”

That’s right.

The details of every experiment were carefully recorded. The last decoction that I brewed with all my energy was the same. Everything was recorded in detail, including the combination of the medicinal ingredients, the method of decoction, and the time.

But did you perfectly recreate the decoction just by using that recipe?

“how?”

“Ms. Anise’s performance was great. Because it was Miss Anis who fed your child the decoction of decoction.”

“no way.”

“Yes, that’s right. “Miss Anise has a very good sense of smell.”

“Did you accurately remember the smell of the herbal medicine in that short moment while giving it to your child?”

“yes. Thanks to this, after some trial and error, I was able to brew a decoction that was almost identical to yours. “I fed it to His Majesty.”

“….”

I finally felt like I understood. When I took the pulse myself, I was able to realize it more clearly.

Ding dong!

[Comprehensive opinion: The body is weak and poor in all categories. The functions of all organs are weak, and I am trying to survive by supplementing my weak immunity with the mana circulation power of the shabby mind technique. Recently, he was infected with Bordetella whooping cough and was in critical condition, but with the help of very appropriate treatment, most of the shadow of his illness was lifted. However, physical aftereffects still remain. We strongly recommend that you take as much rest as possible.]

The overall findings as a result of the pulse examination provided information. Thanks to the appropriate treatment, I overcame whooping cough and passed a difficult time.

‘Then is it similar for children?’

I guess it won’t work. Rachiel got up and put on her shoes.

“majesty?”

Damian’s embarrassed voice. I returned a wry smile to the guy.

“This is not the time for me. “I have a patient.”

“But…”

“It’ll just take a moment.”

I just can’t lie down. Because that child is my patient. I am anxious and cannot rest comfortably until I see the patient’s condition in person. So, I have to go see it myself.

Rachiel walked with shaky legs. I left the room, relying on Damian for support. I passed through the hallway and crossed to the child’s room, receiving looks from people who were surprised and greeted me.

There I saw Naila for the first time. Naila was looking out the window. I was looking through the wide open window at the completely desolate scene in the backyard. Standing on your own two feet and placing both hands on the window frame.

“How are you feeling?”

I carefully approached the child. But the child did not look this way. He had a rather thin profile.

Now that I think about it, I thought it was the first time I saw the child fully awake. His expression is slightly sad. Immediately, his mouth draws a smile, albeit awkwardly. The same was true for the dog that was quietly handed to me while still looking at the backyard.

“I often played with my grandfather in the backyard. Over there. “Every time my grandfather came home from work at the top.”

“….”

At times like this, I don’t know what to say. I wondered what would happen if the child found his deceased grandfather. So, I thought of something to comfort the child in advance.

It’s okay. My grandfather would be happy to see Naila healthy. I thought it would be okay to say that. When I saw the child’s calm eyes like this, I couldn’t say those words easily.

Rachiel just wordlessly wrapped her arms around the child’s shoulders. The child also leaned in this direction. The body temperature of those suffering from the same illness. There was no need to say any more.

…Ding dong.

Soon, a notification of the child’s complete recovery and a reward message appear before my eyes. However, this time, no attention was paid to the message. Because there are things much more important than that right now.

So, I spent the entire afternoon in quiet remembrance, leaning side by side with my child. As the sun set, one hem of the shirt the child was leaning on got wet. Until then, the child had not wiped his eyes.
