The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 440

Episode 440 Ruler’s Regret of the Times (2)

“…What? The Prince of Magentano is coming here? “To negotiate this matter with Jim…?”

It was an ordinary afternoon.

The weather was moderately clear, the wind was moderately cool, and as usual, I was feeling moderately tired, so it was an extremely peaceful afternoon, so I was tempted to give up my worries about the city lost to Magentano for a moment.

However, the ordinary and peaceful afternoon given to Harnant Ludlow, King of Harmion, was evaporated beyond the distant horizon of events due to a sudden report. It was with a feeling of absurdity that suddenly bloomed.

“Are you playing a trick on Jim now?”

“No. Absolutely not. “What I just told you is all true.”

“….”

The chief chamberlain bowed closely with a shocked look on his face. Looking at his expression, I couldn’t help but think that the report I had just received had to be true. Well, this is especially true since his chamberlain is someone who has always been averse to jokes.

“Heh heh heh heh heh.”

I laughed out loud.

I never dreamed that the Crown Prince of Magentano would show such a bold response.

“Then where is the crown prince now?”

“I am waiting for you to enter the palace in front of the royal castle.”

“…What?”

King Harnant was once again astonished.

“The crown prince has already arrived at the royal castle?”

“That’s right.”

“if? “What was the report you gave me a while ago?”

“It was an urgent report sent from the area when the crown prince crossed the border.”

“Wait a minute… The crown prince and his party arrived at the castle here, along with the dispatcher?”

“To be precise, it is believed that the Crown Prince and his party arrived together with all the dispatches sent from each region they passed through.”

“What the hell…”

King Harnant did not understand. Hurrying up is no joke. An urgent report is delivered in relay style to the royal capital by messengers composed of the most capable horsemen riding carefully selected horses. In other words, the speed of delivery is so fast that the average person can’t even imagine.

But you ran side by side from the border to here with such rapid fire?

“how?”

At this point, I was curious. What did the crown prince and his party do to be able to demonstrate such rapid mobility?

The answer lay in the chamberlain’s vague statement, which seemed to me that even I didn’t quite understand.

“It looks like it came riding a huge Minotaur.”

“Minotaur? “The crown prince once tamed it?”

“That’s right.”

“The Minotaur has such incredible physical strength?”

“I think it might be because it’s a bull.”

“….”

“I’m so sorry.”

“no. It’s done. “Let’s go out first.”

King Harnant barely managed to keep his cerebral cortex from dazing for a moment. And I thought. Whatever the secret, it is clear that the crown prince has now reached the royal castle. That’s the only thing that matters. So from now on, how to deal with this situation will be even more important.

“Call the crown prince to the throne room.”

After giving the order, the king headed to the throne room. In the meantime, I was lost in worry. The reason why the crown prince suddenly visited this place. purpose. Anticipated needs. Even a strategy to respond to it. As a seasoned ruler, the king quickly developed a new response plan.

And after a while, I was finally able to meet alone with the Crown Prince of Magentano.

“Rachiel Adria Magentano, Crown Prince of Magentano, son of Asterion Testarossa Magentano, meets Harnant Ludlow Harmion, the rightful ruler of Harmion.”

“…Harnande Ludlow Harmion welcomes the Crown Prince of Magentano with all his heart.”

The crown prince exchanged greetings and sat across from me.

King Harnant was deeply impressed by the sight.

‘How can you be so shameless?’

It’s like someone visiting next door. That was the first impression I got when I saw the crown prince. It wasn’t too much of a stretch. The crown prince looked so comfortable. In some ways, there seemed to be no anxiety even though we had entered the heart of a potential enemy country.

Because you’re stupid?

Because you’re brave?

Because you have no thoughts?

‘no.’

It may not simply be that way.

The king was able to understand the crown prince’s intentions to some extent.

‘If you’re stupid, you wouldn’t have even thought of coming here at a time like this.’

Probably so.

In fact, the timing of the crown prince’s visit this time was very subtle and exquisite. This was because they were on the verge of capturing Wenlock Frasson Sikmar, a small country that shares a border with Magentano.

‘I was planning to hold discussions with them in ten days and create public opinion together and put pressure on Magentano…’

That was the intention to bring Magentano’s ambassador to the multilateral table. There, everyone tried to put pressure together and bring about a favorable negotiation.

But now the crown prince has invaded like this(?).

‘Thanks to this, forming a multi-party table has become meaningless. This is truly… a perfect stab.’

The meaning of the multi-party table in mind was lost. Rather, a 1:1 table was set up where he and the Crown Prince of Magentano treated each other privately.

‘Perhaps the Crown Prince’s visit like this is to destroy my intention and bring me into the stage of negotiations led by him.’

I felt that intention.

A decision that a fool could never make. A detailed conclusion that would not be possible to draw if one were simply brave. Even the timing would not have been possible if I had been thoughtless. The accurate judgment, bold decision, and bold execution ability demonstrated in this way.

The more I looked, the more I felt that the young and pale blue prince was a tough opponent.

“….”

It would have been great if just one of my sons looked even half like the crown prince.

The first child is impatient in everything.

The second child has a flaw in his personality.

The third one cannot live like a human being.

King Harnant sighed deeply without even realizing it. The more I felt that the crown prince in front of me was great, the more I compared him to my own sons. I was so envious that I couldn’t help it.

‘I never thought the day would come when I would envy the shameless emperor of Magentano so much…’

Actually, it wasn’t like this before.

On the contrary, there were days when I laughed at the emperor.

It was thanks to the intelligence from the imperial capital that came in every day.

It is said that the crown prince’s health is at its worst. They are suffering from various diseases with unknown causes. All I could do was not even get out of my hospital bed and could barely take a walk. In other words, it cannot function as a human being.

How much I laughed when I heard that information. How excited I was to think that future hegemony would pass to Harmion.

But I saw it today and it wasn’t like that.

It was all just my own illusion.

I had no idea that the unsightly crown prince was a young man with such abilities. Intelligence that he had recovered his health, and news that he had made brilliant achievements from time to time. So, all the information that was dismissed as pretentious rumors intentionally spread by the Magentano royal family…

‘It was all true.’

i envy you.

I feel like I’m going crazy with envy.

King Harnant frowned, feeling as if he was gently caressing his aching stomach.

It was of course that Rachiel was secretly impressed upon seeing the king like that.

‘Wow, this guy… this is no joke.’

The atmosphere was crazy.

When I first saw him, I thought he was an actor who had been cast by Hollywood to play the role of the king. The majesty and atmosphere of the king of a nation were so perfect. Moreover, from the looks of it, it seemed like the King had already figured out the intention of their visit.

‘I deliberately pushed myself too hard to meet you without giving myself time to make a proper decision.’

They ran at full speed from the border. It was a forceful march that was literally at the level of destruction. Thanks to this, as soon as the strong Urus arrived at the royal capital of Harmas, he was so sick that he almost had to lie down.

‘But now, less than an hour after hearing about my visit, he has already sensed my intention.’

As expected, 100-level insight. I thought that I did not get the position of ruler of a country for free through GoStop. But Rachiel did not shrink. This was because he also had a weapon to fight against him.

‘I also rolled around enough in Korea.’

Before becoming an Oriental medicine doctor, I had to crawl my way up from the bottom of a difficult society. Even after becoming an Oriental medicine doctor, I was forced to reach the max level in terms of interpersonal skills while caring for and comforting elderly patients.

He said, encouraging himself.

“Thank you for allowing my surprise visit.”

“I came to you on purpose like this, but I couldn’t kick you out, so I had no choice.”

“It’s nice to meet you like this.”

“I’m embarrassed to meet you so suddenly.”

“Isn’t it a rare opportunity to open up and discuss each other’s conditions like this?”

“The experience of being semi-forced to sit at the negotiation table like this is certainly rare.”

“….”

This guy, fighting is no joke.

Rachiel thought for a moment.

Should I keep accepting it?

no.

Let’s take a quick look around.

“Then, for the sake of each other’s precious time, I think we should get to the point now.”

“Do you feel a little more at ease then?”

“Then what should I do?”

“Then is there any other way?”

“….”

Oh, this guy is really.

“Is there anything else the King would like to say?”

“Yes.”

The King gave me a meaningful look.

“Is Magentano always like this?”

“yes?”

“I am truly curious as to whether it is Magentano’s diplomatic policy to shake up its opponents with such coercive and arbitrary actions.”

“….”

“Is this the quality of a great power? “He did it when he robbed us of the city, and can such a blatant act of trying to take the initiative through a surprise visit without even a glimpse of the procedure be considered dignified?”

“Uhm, that’s…”

Rakiel swallowed a bitter smile.

Certainly, the King deserves to be criticized for the current situation.

But I had no intention of bowing my head naively. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have come here in the first place. After all, he had come to settle the grievances with Harmion while putting a firm wedge in his ownership of the city he had suddenly acquired.

To do so, we must first take the initiative in the conversation.

“In fact, it may be more coercive.”

“…what?”

“But I didn’t. “I came here to seek a peaceful resolution and to end this matter amicably and satisfactorily by providing compensation comparable to the value of a city, perhaps even greater.”

“Peaceful? “Did you say it was perfect…?”

“yes.”

Rachiel nodded.

“For example.”

Regardless of his admiration for this side, he looked straight into the eyes of King Harnant, who still clearly showed signs of dissatisfaction.

And said.

“If I can cure the disease of the 3rd prince of your royal family, so that the 3rd prince can regain a state where he can live like a human being, will the resentment of the Harmion royal family, who is saddened by the loss of their city, be alleviated a little?”

“….”

The bargaining chip of conversion finally presented.

King Harnant’s eyes wavered for the first time as he accepted it.
