The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 75

Episode 75 People who prove me (3)

“Next. Anis, daughter of Jacinto.”

Rachiel’s stern voice echoes across the dock.

Citizens who came out to watch the interrogation of criminals. The inspectors and soldiers who controlled the venue. And the interrogator who led them. No one could complain. Rachiel’s eyes look around. No one could open their mouths in front of him.

Because of the Minotaur standing tall behind Rachiel? Are you afraid that if you step out in the wrong direction, you will incur the monster’s wrath?

It wasn’t.

Rachiel’s presence felt greater than the pressure from the monster. The reason was unknown. He was fierce for no reason. What if I threw up? I had an ominous feeling that I might be able to strike the temple properly.

Rachiel’s voice is so confident. Because what is being said is extremely detailed. I became anxious to dare to doubt that he was the crown prince.

“Oh, Anis. You, my werewolf nurse, threw your whole body to catch me that night as I was being blown out of the mayor’s residence, hanging on the Minotaur’s arm. If it weren’t for your quick response and bold actions, I would have been buried in the ground, my whole body a crushed corpse. You also experienced the hardships and pain of being captured by the Minotaur and thrown onto the deck of a sailing ship. “It was also an incredibly great act of courage and sacrifice for me.”

Rakiel spoke softly. Anise, who was inside the cage, nodded slightly.

A momentary glance.

I was really grateful. I survived thanks to you. He said he had a hard time while I was away. He comforted and encouraged me without words.

Kwajak-!

Urus’s grip broke the iron bars. Following Damian, Anis became free. However, no inspector from the inspection team dared to stop him.

Rachiel’s steps continued.

His declaration also continued.

“Sergius. My special forces commander. That night, you ran ahead of anyone else and escorted me as I was taking refuge. Was that all? When the Minotaur invaded the sailing ship and charged at it, it was at the very front with its swords raised. As a result, he lost his sword and fell down with a serious injury to his shoulder. “Without such bravery and sacrifice, would I have been as safe as I am now?”

“…majesty.”

Sergio, the oldest member of the special forces, cried. Rachiel smiled faintly and nodded.

Kakaan-!

The iron bars were broken.

Sergius was released.

Rachiel’s steps continued. His simple and sincere compliments were also resounding loudly on the dock. The remaining members of the Special Forces, the loyal knights of the Royal Guard, received Rachiel’s praise one by one.

“Montero and Pedro. Faithful twin special forces. In the process of fighting the Minotaur, your right and left arms were broken, respectively. Montero blocks the horn and then blows away. Pedro was crushed while trying to catch his brother. “Are you both okay?”

Kaan-!

The twin gladiators are free.

“Ricardo. I clearly saw you hurt your knee while blocking the debris flying at me. Also, Sir Frandel, the knight. “He evacuated the fallen special forces to a safe place and at the same time held out most tenaciously against the Minotaur’s attack and fainted, showing the honor and example of a Royal Guard knight.”

“Your Highness…”

“I also cannot forget Sir Hamilton’s exploits. Even though his back was injured by the Minotaur’s charge, he got up again and continued to fight to protect me. Even if he lost his sword and his shield was broken, he showed his determination to fight even while holding a wooden stick. “What you showed that night was truly the epitome of a brave knight of the Royal Guard.”

“Your Majesty….”

Special Forces members.

And the knights of the royal guard.

Those who had accompanied Rakiel were released one by one. got freedom I regained my honor. I stood proudly next to Rachiel.

Seeing that sight, the citizens of Cremo swallowed their saliva without even realizing it. The words the crown prince spoke softly. I could feel it while listening to it.

That’s real.

“…I guess that person is really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?”

“But how did you come back?”

“Besides, how did you tame the Minotaur?”

Murmur.

A commotion arose on the quiet dockside. Thanks to this, the interrogator of the inspection team directly under the emperor suddenly felt that his mouth was burning to the ground.

‘What… the atmosphere is like this…’

My heart sank. I felt like something was going wrong. In fact, it had been like that since Rachiel first appeared.

‘I never thought he would come back alive…’

It was the prince who was captured by the Minotaur, not another monster. It has already been six days since he went missing.

There’s no chance of him being alive. He would have been eaten by the Minotaur long ago. No matter how hard you try, you won’t even be able to find a complete body. I was sure of this from the moment I arrived in this city.

Thus, responsibility and guilt were placed on the crown prince’s attendants. There was no particular reason. Because it’s always been like that. Because it was a natural procedure. Just like when an emperor dies of illness, he executes his doctor. Because someone must be held responsible for the death and wanton death of a noble person.

Pointing out someone to take responsibility for. Because that is his mission.

‘So… I did the same thing this time too…’

It didn’t matter whether the target of the crime was unfair or not. I just liked being able to handle things comfortably without worrying. It was nice to take care of one’s own achievements like that.

This approach has actually been beneficial so far. A person who handles cases quickly and neatly every time. I was able to make that impression on my superiors. The rapid progression to success was a bonus. So I just did it this time too.

But things got messy like this.

‘why? Why did the crown prince come back alive? how?’

I didn’t understand. I couldn’t understand it even more because he was with the Minotaur who had captured him! It would have been better if someone had told me it was a nightmare!

“My Highness!”

The interrogator became impatient and shouted.

Your identity has now been confirmed. Enough is enough. I was just trying to check the procedures. That’s how I tried to protest.

But Rachiel did not pay attention to that urgent cry. Proving your identity to a mere interrogator? It wasn’t something worth worrying about. He ignored the interrogator’s cries and calmly walked to the next cage.

“Germain. The youngest gladiator of the Special Forces. Even though you were young, you never lost your courage to protect me. I saw him fall from the Minotaur’s charge and struggle to get up again despite the pain of dislocating his shoulder. Although… my legs were a bit shaky throughout the night.”

“…My Highness?”

“Okay. It was because the boat was shaking. Right?”

“That’s right!”

Germain, the youngest gladiator of the Special Forces, shouted with a red face. Rachiel whispered softly in his ear with a meaningful smile.

“…You didn’t tell me you wet your pants back then?”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Clap!

The iron bars were broken. Even the youngest member of the special forces gained freedom. The interrogator’s expression became more urgent upon seeing this.

“majesty! majesty!”

He came running. I knelt in front of Rakiel and blocked the path. He put his forehead on the floor and shouted.

“Your Majesty, I beg your pardon for daring to ask for confirmation of your identity!”

For now, you have to pray. I had that feeling and confidence. The prince’s mood was unusual. If I continued like this, I didn’t think I would be able to even get my money’s worth. So, I have to do whatever it takes to appease the prince’s feelings.

The interrogator spoke quickly with that thought in mind.

“And your highness, there seems to be some misunderstanding.”

But his response didn’t work.

Rachiel did not stop walking. He just passed by the interrogator. This is where Rakiel’s steps are heading. There was the last iron cage there.

“Mayor of this city, Eisel Cremo. I had no idea that you too were going through this kind of hardship. That night, you showed that you took responsibility for the city by not running away even in the face of numerous dangers and hardships. Even though he took me on a sailboat and took refuge, he chose to stay on the dock until the end, saying he could not abandon his city and its citizens. “It was the noblest and most meaningful example of nobility that only those who put everything into their duties could show.”

“My Highness…”

Mayor Cremo shed tears like chicken droppings.

Clap!

The last iron bars were broken. Only then did Rachiel’s eyes fall on the interrogator.

“Interrogator of the inspection team. “You…”

“Yes, Your Highness! “I did not imprison and interrogate Your Majesty’s attendants out of personal hatred!”

“How dare you hang up without even listening to me?”

“…yes?”

“I asked if you had just interrupted me.”

“….”

The interrogator fell silent. For some reason, cold sweat started flowing out. The words of Rakiel’s sentence fell upon his pale bones.

“Earlier, you told me to prove my identity.”

“….”

“But it’s not me who proves myself. “The people who stayed by my side and were not afraid to sacrifice themselves for me are the people who prove me.”

“….”

“Would this be the answer?”

“My Highness…”

“Also!”

“….”

“You just said that. “It wasn’t because they hated my attendants that they were imprisoned and interrogated.”

“That’s right, Your Highness.”

“But it is true that we imprisoned and interrogated him because he was an easy person to blame and blame.”

“…yes?”

“You’d better not try to make excuses. Because I already know what you want to say. They say these are the people who served me, but they failed to protect me, so I guess they want to protest that they should be punished for their sins.”

“I’m buying it for you!”

“that’s right?”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

The interrogator nodded enthusiastically. Rachiel tilted his head.

“I don’t think so?”

“…yes?”

“Actually, I heard it earlier. “What you say.”

“What…”

“Hmm!”

Rakiel cleared his throat. And he spoke, imitating the interrogator’s tone of voice.

“So it’s not too late. Speak. They conspired with the Minotaur and planned to harm His Majesty. Confess your sins and ask for mercy.”

“….”

All color drained from the interrogator’s face. Those words the crown prince just uttered. That’s…

‘That’s what I said earlier… to that guy named Damien, urging him to confess… Is that really…?’

The interrogator looked up at Rachiel with trembling eyes. But Rachiel’s eyes were cold.

“I don’t think that’s just asking the person responsible for the crime. “Did I hear wrong?”

“….”

“Isn’t it convenient to create a criminal, place all responsibility and sin on him, and kill the criminal in order to simply and quickly end a seemingly troublesome case?”

“….”

“Did you try to handle the case of the kidnapping and disappearance of the crown prince, who was no one else, in such a hasty manner? “Hello?”

“….”

“I asked you earlier. Who is in charge here? So it was you who came forward. “Do you know what that means?”

“That means…”

“The person in charge is the person who takes responsibility. And you must take responsibility for the sloppy investigation you have conducted so far.”

“….”

Rachiel’s cold sentence fell.

At that moment, the interrogator had a hunch.

ah.

I’m done.
