The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 384
Episode 384 Rusty Heart (1)
…What is it?
Could it be that I was receiving a medical examination this whole time?
Belated realization struck the ring of prejudice that was filled with the wrinkles of Armin’s frontal lobe like the sound of a piano. But it didn’t break. This was because Armin’s prejudice was too strong to be broken by a single epiphany.
‘But I still can’t believe it. No, you’re tying people up like this and torturing them, right? ‘Do you think I’ll be fooled by saying it doesn’t hurt as expected?’
Armin, who had almost let his guard down for a moment, became even more nervous. When I think about it, it was even more strange to relax my mind when I was already going through this situation.
‘I told him to kill me, but he really said he would kill me, right? Are you not sick now? This too must be a trick. When I relax for a moment, I try to mess around with people again. ‘I’m trying to enjoy myself like this now.’
After that?
More severe pain will be inflicted. Pretending to let go, then tormenting the other person further and watching as their spirit breaks down. Because that would be true bullying.
“….”
Armin’s eyes became more pointed as he looked at Rachiel. On the other hand, I was filled with a determination that was dozens of times stronger than before, like a rich pollack roe.
Of course, Rakiel was not one to notice such a boy’s expression.
‘Write it. I think this guy is misunderstanding something.’
Rachiel smiled bitterly. This is a problem with oriental medicine, especially acupuncture. Should I say that the culture shock felt when meeting a stranger for the first time is greater than expected?
Sir Gardin was like that in the past. At the time, when I saw this person doing self-bathing, I almost cried and cried and asked if he was hurting himself. This guy, Armin, seemed to have a strong misunderstanding that this guy was bullying him.
But Rachiel didn’t care.
‘what. ‘Whether you think so or not.’
Does not matter.
This is because you only need to look carefully to check. I concentrated my mind and lifted the fourth thorn. And during Armin’s circumcision, he stabbed the central congested blood point sharply.
In other words, a thorn was inserted into the space between the tip of the nail at the tip of the third finger and the flesh.
“…!”
Armin’s eyes widened. Resentment and resignation soon appeared in his eyes. It was as if he was cursing with his eyes, saying, ‘I knew this would happen, you bastard.’
But Rachiel didn’t care either. He didn’t care whether the boy accumulated double bath points through the double time event with his eyes, and only focused on activating the acupuncture point scanning. And I observed the reaction of Armin’s heart to the stimulation of the blood clot that had just been pierced.
“Hmm.”
Surely everything is normal.
What I felt earlier was that when I stimulated the blood vessels related to the heart, the response that came back was extremely normal. There was nothing to blame. It looked like neatly rolled kimbap being placed on a plate without a single line of disarray.
‘Heart rate pattern? Feedback from energy and blood? It’s so normal. The same goes for the movement of energy and blood surrounding the heart muscle. Just a perfect score of 100. At the very least, the reaction of the kidneys, which balances the heart and water-fire-connection, is not bad. Does this really mean that the cardiomyopathy that causes people in this family to live short lives is not caused by genetics?’
No matter how you look at it, it was like that. If the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that afflicted the Asrahan family was genetic, then Armin should have shown some signs of it now.
But there isn’t.
Neat.
There were no signs of cardiomyopathy. No, on the contrary, if there were an award for a strong heart, he was so healthy that I wanted to give him the trophy right away.
“Then it means there is another cause.”
Rakiel released the acupuncture point scanning. And then I finally made eye contact with Armin. As expected, the guy was still staring at me with his eyes wide open.
“Ah, that’s it.”
“….”
“This guy can kill people with his eyes.”
“….”
“Seeing as you can’t refute, I guess you have nothing to say even after being pointed out?”
“…Eup!”
“Oh right. curb.”
“Ugh!”
“sorry.”
“….”
Rachiel removed Armin’s gag.
“ruler. “It’s probably a little easier now.”
“…Whoosh!”
“Do you think I’ll buy something? “Thank you, right?”
“I…”
“Wow.” Putting my thanks aside. “Because it’s cringy.”
“….”
“Is this ridiculous? I’m also dumbfounded. In fact, I’m probably even more ridiculous now.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Armin asked very nervously.
Rachiel shrugged his shoulders.
“You’re healthier than I thought.”
“….”
“Oh, don’t misunderstand. “I didn’t want you to get sick.”
“….”
“Okay then, I’ll remove the thorn. Don’t apply force. “Fuck you.”
See the sign!
It was Armin’s finger, and the thorns that were stuck in various places fell out in an instant. But even during that process, Armin still didn’t feel sick. To be honest, I didn’t feel anything. Even though such a huge thorn gets stuck under the fingernail and then falls out.
The boy bit his lower lip.
“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. “Why are you doing this to me?”
“hmm? what?”
“You said you would kill me and you made it seem like you were going to torture me. But strangely enough, the thorn that pierced me didn’t hurt at all. He spoke as if he had examined my health. Nevertheless, you still won’t release me from my bonds. “I’m so confused.”
“Oh right. “Arrested.”
“If you don’t really want to kill me, could you just let me go?”
“Yeah, I don’t like it.”
“…yes?”
“I don’t like it.”
“What…”
“I asked why you were like this? It’s simple. “I want to hear the story.”
“Are you still talking about this?”
“of course. What happened between the third emperor of Magentano and your family. “Do you still don’t want to talk?”
“yes.”
“Huh. “Look how determined you are.”
“As I have already revealed, I would rather commit suicide than suffer the disgrace of saying this out loud.”
“Are you that disgusted and ashamed? “That thing?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
“why? “It must have been about 200 years ago, right?”
“But wouldn’t the fact that the original copy of the family’s most important, obscure spiritual law be destroyed, be diluted just because a little time has passed?”
“aha. I see.”
“yes?”
“That’s how it was. Hehehe.”
“…omg.”
“You told me?”
Rachiel smiled and Armin froze in shock. However, Armin was not given time to wallow in the self-loathing that followed his mistakes. Before he could do that, Rakiel reached out and firmly grasped both of the boy’s shoulders.
“hey. Listen carefully. shame? no. “This is a right.”
“…yes?”
“You have suffered damage.”
“Yes?”
“Your family. To our 3rd Emperor of Magentano. You just said it. The original copy of the family’s most important and powerful mind law was destroyed. That’s the damage done. is not it?”
“That’s…”
“You are the victims.”
“….”
“So I felt really strange. why? why? “Isn’t it shameful and dishonorable for the victim to talk about how he or she was harmed?”
“Of course…”
“Are you embarrassed?”
“….”
“know. You must have felt helpless. You must have felt betrayed. Why not? So, from the perspective of your family members, it must have felt shameful to even think about that incident.”
“That…”
“Of course it was. I understand. But still. The person who suffered the damage has to make it quiet. It’s a bit sad. So sorry. As a descendant of the third emperor, I apologize. To you now. Officially.”
“yes?”
Armin was even more surprised than when he made the mistake of speaking earlier. An apple. The crown prince, a member of the royal family? To himself, who is merely the grandson of the Margrave? Even formally?
I didn’t understand.
This time, I wondered if they were trying to fool me in some way again. But the moment I looked into the crown prince’s eyes, I couldn’t help but realize.
‘This person doesn’t have the eyes to tell jokes.’
I’m not joking. However, when I looked at it carefully, it seemed that the eyes did not seem to be purely apologetic.
I felt something.
Even an ominous feeling.
Unfortunately, Armin’s fierce feeling suited him very well.
“That’s right. Armin? I will make a proposal on the honor of the crown prince. You said you would rather commit suicide than tell the secret story of your family, right? “As a sincere apology to you, I will help you make that decision.”
Wow.
Tendons sprouted on the back of Raquiel’s hand as he held Armin’s shoulder. On the contrary, a very bright and kind smile bloomed on his lips.
“My suggestion is this. “If you don’t tell me the family’s secret right now, I will go out and spread the word around the neighborhood that you told me the family’s secret.”
“…yes?”
Armin was startled. No, what kind of bullshit is that? But unfortunately, the crown prince had an inordinate amount of talent for making bullshit look very believable.
“Do you not understand my proposal? Tell me your family’s story. Otherwise, rumors will spread throughout the Margrave’s family that you told the secret.”
“What is that…”
“If I go around spreading such rumors, how will the people in my family view you? “I probably won’t be able to get over it without committing suicide, right?”
“Ha, but Your Majesty the Crown Prince?”
“huh?”
“Such threats don’t work on me.”
“why?”
“If people in our family ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince what the family’s secret story was for confirmation, his answer will be blocked and his lies will be exposed.”
“Yeah, it’s not.”
“yes?”
“You told me earlier, right? “It is said that the most important spiritual law of the family was forcibly abolished by the third emperor.”
“….”
“Just tell me that much. After that, ugh. It’s too much for me to say the details in my own words. “It’s such a sad and tragic thing, so if you just sigh and sigh, everything will be okay.”
“….”
“If you just do that much, the people in your family won’t start asking more questions, right? In fact, he might be grateful that I told him that much. is not it?”
“….”
“And you are confirmed to have committed suicide.”
“I am!”
“huh. say it.”
“I…”
“Are you scared because you think you’re really going to die? “You don’t want to die, right?”
…Nod.
Armin eventually nodded.
In fact, earlier, out of anger, he said that he would rather commit suicide. It was because I was excited at the time and also felt a sense of resistance to the pressure from the crown prince.
But as time passed and the excitement subsided, what happened? Of course I didn’t want to die. Honestly, it was a waste and scary. It’s a bright life ahead. If he does well, he will be able to become a margrave and inherit the family. Of course I didn’t want to die.
“okay. “Well thought out.”
A satisfied smile appeared on Rachiel’s lips. Actually, I was heartbroken inside.
‘thank god. Through threats.’
When I saw Armin’s heart earlier. On the other hand, he also sensed the circle surrounding the guy’s heart. It was natural. Acupoint scanning is a skill that observes the inside of a target based on mana movement. There was no way the circle, which was mana itself, could not be detected.
However, the fact that Armin had a circle was itself a problem.
‘Didn’t you say that the sad laws were abolished by the third emperor? But how do you keep the circle?’
Circles can only be created using the Asurahan Mind technique. Those who have the mind knowledge know best.
That wasn’t the only strange thing.
The circle on the chest of this guy named Armin was a bit unusual. No, in this case, the word strange would be more appropriate.
‘Something was quite different from the circle I had.’
A unique and strangely shaped circle surrounding the boy’s heart. Maybe it’s related to cardiomyopathy.
I had doubts.
If so, you should check.
‘Of course, the confirmation begins with what happened to the shady state of mind of these families.’
So, in order to hear that, I tried to overdo it and threatened him, and fortunately, it worked. As expected, the opponent was not yet 20, so their bluff worked.
“Then let’s listen a little more slowly.”
Rachiel sat cross-legged and took a listening posture. Armin asked, looking puzzled.
“Well then, first of all, please untie me…”
“Yes, I don’t like it. “I will release you after listening to everything.”
“….”
“Not if you don’t want to.”
“…No, I will tell you.”
Finally, Armin, who had completely resigned himself, hesitated and opened his mouth.
It was the prelude to a story in which the Asrahan family, which had a strong reputation for its shabby mentality, was so heartbroken that it found itself in the midst of a lackluster team, and fell to the point of developing cardiomyopathy.
