The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine

The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 437

Episode 437 Idol of the Border City (1)

This is not a dream.

So, it is reality.

No, wait a minute.

Is it true to assume that the scene before our eyes is unconditionally real just because it is not a dream? Just because you can see it, does that mean it exists? So, what is the reality of this scene I see? Is this reality? Is the present real?

I don’t know.

I want to deny it.

The first prince raised his gaze, feeling a fundamental question about reality and existence. People crowded under the podium. People packed into the square. people.

There was no noble lineage in sight. There were just ordinary, naked and weak citizens gathered together like a swarm of ants in the spring. In some ways, it was a scene that felt disgusting. Especially now.

This was the reason why so many citizens gathered together were only looking at themselves on the podium.

…gulp.

The first prince’s neck shook unconsciously. They were ordinary people who I normally looked at so insignificantly, like trash, but now it was different. My shoulders suddenly stiffened. It was because of the eyes of people looking at him.

It was cold.

It was cold.

There was no feeling of respect for the noble royal lineage. All that exists is a look of blatant disappointment and contempt.

‘Damn it…!’

The first prince, who belatedly realized that he had been nervous, swallowed his anger. Then, the stinging sensation on the back of my hand that I had forgotten for a while came back. The place where the crown prince was struck by something. Minor burn marks that are red. The bitter pain also brought back memories of what I had experienced earlier.

♣

“Did you think I kidnapped you and took you somewhere far away? No. I came back here. Thanks to that, everyone was able to truly appreciate the true feelings you were talking about about the people of this city just a moment ago.”

“….”

“So, what do you mean? Now. “I’m starting to feel like even if they don’t hand over the city, the people here will take care of it.”

“….”

Even thinking about it now, it was terrible.

The eye patch came off roughly.

Eventually, I regained my vision.

Thanks to you, I realized the situation.

Beyond the spinning prince, I could see many people surrounding him. I also saw the familiar sight of Tennion Square. There were other familiar people. 5,000 military generals and high-ranking soldiers who marched after him. Familiar aspects.

All of his subordinates were disarmed and tied up. Some people had messy hair and had marks of beatings on their faces.

I was able to realize them the moment I saw the scene.

‘My troops… as many as 5,000 troops… all surrendered?’

I couldn’t believe it.

But I had to admit it.

Because it was a stark reality.

Even his own remarks that degraded city residents to the fullest. The anger of the citizens who heard it all. The crown prince’s triumphant smile as he held out a document with his anger on his back. every.

“What is this?”

“Well. “It is an official agreement to transfer control of this city to the Magentano royal family.”

“…radish? what?”

“Are you embarrassed? This is probably not the time to be leisurely and embarrassed. “Do you still think you have a choice?”

“What is that…”

“There is only one path you can take now. “Signing a formal agreement and proclaiming the contents of the document in front of everyone.”

“Are you crazy?”

It was so absurd.

Then the crown prince smiled even more absurdly.

“That’s the crazy one. “Can’t you understand the situation now?”

“….”

Mokuldae is shaking again.

Finally, a cold realization came.

The torture that had been inflicted just a moment ago was not carried out in an unfamiliar place. The conversation with the crown prince that followed the torture was also the same.

It all took place here in Tennion’s square, in front of everyone. It was just that he didn’t know it. So I was deceived. I was caught. So perfectly. To the point of exasperation.

“Aren’t you ashamed of doing such a dishonorable act?”

“Shameful thing? “Isn’t it more shameful to treat your own people like nothing but now pretending to be like that?”

“What is that…”

“You don’t want to sign the agreement? Well, of course it is. Well, then you can just be thrown into the hands of the angry crowd. “No matter what happens to you after that, the conclusion that this city’s flag will be replaced with Magentano’s will not change.”

“….”

I couldn’t think of anything to say.

I wanted to refute something, but what the crown prince said was so true that I couldn’t. I looked back at the generals as if grasping for the last straw. However, everyone just lowered their heads with sad expressions and no one made eye contact.

At that moment, I realized.

It’s all over.

no method.

So in the end, in vivid darkness, I accepted the agreement presented by the crown prince. I signed. I was forced to stand on the podium. In this way, I was pushed to read the content written by the crown prince in front of the citizens of the city.

“…For the sake of the kingdom of love and faith of the Lord Ormus and the well-being of all of us, from today onwards, I, Zeroth, the first prince of Harmion, through the wisdom and wisdom given by the Lord Ormus, transfer the control of this city of Tennion to the Magentano royal family. “I declare that.”

I never thought the day would come when I would make this declaration.

“Also, this is something that a wise ruler should do, and it is something that allows the Magentano royal family, who are like brothers, to truly serve Harmion. I, Zeros, the first prince of Harmion, represent the royal family of Harmion and agree to this agreement with Magenta. “We officially announce that this agreement was concluded with the full and active cooperation and broad understanding of both Noh and Harmion.”

…It’s humiliating.

I want to bite my tongue right now.

But that wasn’t possible.

If you bite your tongue, it will hurt and in severe cases, you could die. Because I hate that even more.

‘shit.’

I was so angry that I was on the verge of tears. In particular, I felt like I was going crazy because I hated the prince who was standing right next to me and was laughing. It felt like I wanted to at least give him a slap right away.

But it was still impossible.

If you do that, you will be beaten more severely and you may even die. Because that’s scary.

‘…We’ll see!’

Prince 1 gritted his teeth and came down from the podium. He hurriedly put on women’s clothing along with his soldiers, who had been reduced to a shabby appearance. I had to leave the city, almost as if I was being kicked out.

There was no cheering for him anywhere. There was only a cold look in their eyes and the Magentano flag fluttering on the castle wall, which was openly displayed as if to show off. It was a shabby and humiliating exit without even being able to see anyone off.

No, in fact, only one person sent the first prince off with sincerity.

It was Rachiel.

“Ah, as expected, it’s sizzling. This is why people say that people should use a good search engine to make their lives more convenient.”

He waved his hand at the 1st Prince and his party from the castle gate watchtower and muttered proudly. Damian next to him heard those words and tilted his head.

“What is a search engine?”

“There is such a thing. Anyway, the sizzle performance was good, right?”

“Are you talking about the way you pretended to be torture while being defeated by moxibustion?”

“huh. “Anyway, you printed out the results you wanted, right?”

“Of course. “Although he did not actually torture us.”

“hey. Still, it’s a bit weird if you’re a royal family and you really lose it. Those guys have weak durability, so if you search too much, the server crashes and that’s it?”

“The server is down?”

“faint.”

“Then… do I have to pour water on it?”

“yes. “Water cooling is the best for recovering overheated servers.”

“under. Is that so.”

“yes. “But are you laughing at me now?”

“no. I didn’t really laugh at it. Just-”

“Just?”

“It’s a little absurd.”

“That’s what they laughed at.”

“no.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I’ve never confronted you.”

“Look at how you talk back to me. “Where did you learn this habit?”

“From Your Majesty.”

“what?”

“I think I’ve become contagious because I’ve always seen you always say what you have to say no matter what the situation.”

“…what is that?”

“It’s just a compliment.”

“Write it. How dare you even evaluate the quality?”

“Please understand with an honest heart.”

“Tsk. “I won’t support you one word until the end.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Just talk.”

“I apologize for that too.”

“…Tsk. “It’s done.”

Rachiel stopped laughing. Anyway, today’s operation(?) was a success. Thanks to this, Tennion became officially owned by Magentano.

Of course, there was no intention to destroy everything in the city. No, actually, I didn’t want to touch anything that already existed. This was the case for the mayor, citizens, and religion, all without exception.

‘Anyway, it’s important that the people here receive proper treatment until the end.’

Actually, that was the purpose.

The mayor, citizens, religious people, everyone.

I drank the Holy Water soup made by this place.

So everyone is a patient here.

I didn’t want to abandon those patients. Once a person has been identified as a patient, he or she must take responsibility and look after the patient until the end. That was the thought I had had as a medical professional since Korea.

“So, let’s start with the market. “You must be getting tired of the prison atmosphere now, right?”

“Probably so.”

I first visited the prison with Damian. It was crowded with mayors and citizens who had been imprisoned by the first prince. However, as soon as this person appeared in the prison, they gave a huge cheer.

“Wow!”

“Long live Your Majesty the Crown Prince!”

…Perhaps news of the city transfer reached here. Rakiel felt embarrassed and helped the mayor out of the prison. And as soon as I faced the mayor, I said:

“Should we… uh, celebrate becoming a people of Magentano? illusion? “Anyway, you’ll have to show me well from now on.”

Half joking.

Half of the time, I tell you to be at ease.

That’s what I meant.

However, Mayor Breda showed an unexpected reaction.

“Breda of the Tenibach family comes to see His Majesty the Crown Prince, his lifelong lord…!”

I immediately got down on one knee.

He bowed his head and raised his courtesy as a subject.

At that moment, Rakiel had to have another intuition.

“….”

This guy is also obsessed with me.

Already, the bright eyes, the trembling fingers resting on the floor, and the red face were all showing the typical reaction of someone who has ‘awakened to a new favorite object.’ This was also the result of a glimpse through acupoint scanning.

‘Why is my heart beating like an adolescent girl looking at her first love!’

Going crazy.

It was burdensome.

However, the mayor was not the only one who would put a lot of pressure on this side.

“Prince of Magentano!”

“I dare to ask the new ruler!”

Before Rachiel could escape from prison with the released mayor, she had to face a new group(?) that came to visit her. Unique way of speaking and shouting with unusual fuss. These were priests from the city who came to see him out of contemplation.

“uh? “What’s going on, everyone?”

Did they come in droves looking pale like that? It’s like people who have a lot of heartbreaking requests.

However, upon hearing the answer, it seemed that their prediction was not wrong.

“Prince of Magentano, I, the priest, Shumaike, have dared to ask you something, and I have committed this insolence!”

“What do you want to ask?”

“Yes, Prince!”

“Then just ask.”

“Thank you, Crown Prince!”

“No, ask. “A little.”

“Ah yes, crown prince! I dare to ask, is the Crown Prince planning to use the change in control of this city as a reason to suppress us religiously? I am a little curious about that…” “

Aha.”

I know what you are asking.

“In other words, now that this city has become part of the Magentano Empire, you are worried that they will oppress you, the priests of Harmion, so you came here like this?”

“That’s right. “If you really want to persecute us religiously, you would rather…”

“Do you want us to be expelled?”

“Is it possible?”

“Hmm?”

Rakiel tilted his head.

“If you were worried about oppression or persecution, wouldn’t you have been able to just run away instead of hoping to be deported? “I won’t even stop you.”

“But…”

“Aha. If you ran away voluntarily, you will be punished. From the denomination. In the name of easily giving up a precious parish without permission from superiors. Right?”

“…That’s right.”

“That’s why I came here because I needed a justification for deportation. “If you make excuses like that, you will be less likely to be reprimanded.”

“Yes, you too.”

The new director’s face darkened.

Rakiel responded as if it was no big deal.

“But do you really have to leave?”

“…yes?”

Director Shin flinched.

Rachiel grinned.

“It’s strange when you think about it. Does religion change because the country’s flag changes? why? Just live your life believing what you believe. Because there will be no particular oppression or persecution. There’s no need to do that. It’s annoying. “I’m busy too.”

“…Yes?”

“No, I mean. Let’s all just live in a circle. Religion is all that matters if those who want to believe do so and are happy. You are helping those people with their religious life. Let’s be nice to each other. Don’t make things difficult and complicated for no reason. Clearly. uh?”

“….”

“Besides, what if you guys leave? How is the religious life of the people here? Are you going to give up? Are you going to leave me alone? Are you going to leave it alone? You guys are priests. He said he was a religious person. But did you even think of just throwing away the believers and leaving them alone? If that’s the case, isn’t that a bit disappointing?”

“That…”

“So, in this city under Magentano’s control, is it okay to continue to practice Ormus, the official religion of Harmion? huh. It’s okay. just do it. are you okay. I will allow it. Because religion is just religion.”

“But… does that work?”

“You said it would work?”

“Really…?”

“huh. really.”

“….”

“Can you at least put a stamp on it? “Would you like me to write a memorandum?”

“Oh no. “It’s okay.”

“Then that’s it. “Everyone, please return to your original position and live a happy religious life.”

Rakiel waved his hand as if it was no big deal and passed by the priests. However, the priests, including the priest, had to stand there in silence even after a long time had passed because they were so shocked.

“….”

No one could open their mouth.

I just stared endlessly at the direction Rachiel had left until the sun set and the night deepened.

Thanks to this, a secular Protestantism was born that day, praising Rachiel Adria Magentano, a saint who presented a reformative path to true faith, as the Messiah of God, and prioritizing religious autonomy and the small happiness of individuals.

It was the beginning of religious reform.
