The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine

The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 253

Episode 253 Vampire Metamorphosis (1)

“Mallow!”

This is the square of Magenta, the ecliptic. The time when the evening glow begins to appear. A harsh, childish sound could be heard from a corner of the quiet square. Hearing that sound, Valentino, a doctor at the Detached Oriental Medicine Clinic, suddenly turned his gaze.

The child was holding his mouth. In front of him, a woman who appeared to be the child’s mother was smiling.

“Yonseok, you’re going to die. So here we are. Did you feel refreshed?”

“Ugh…Mom?”

“huh?”

“I don’t think those are fangs.”

“Yes?”

“I think I pulled out the side teeth instead of the fangs.”

“….”

There was a small commotion for a moment. What if mom threaded the thread wrong? Egg money, what about my mind, blah blah blah.

Valentino smiled brightly at that sight. And on the other hand, I thought. Was it yesterday evening? After a long day of treatment, I was about to rest when the crown prince called me and said…

“What are you thinking?”

“…uh?”

Valentino, who was deep in thought, was startled. He had to face the gaze staring at him. It was the sallow eyes of a fiancée who had promised a future together.

“What are you thinking about, smiling so brightly?”

“Oh, that’s…”

Valentino scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression.

“Your Highness discussed something with me yesterday.”

“Are you talking about the oriental medicine clinic again?”

“Oh yeah. sorry. “It’s been a long time since we last met, but I was alone and thinking about other things.”

“are you okay. It was like that originally. Tell me. “What happened?”

“Well, His Highness said he wanted to open a dental clinic.”

“Dentist?”

“Hmm. “Should we call it a department that specializes in managing the inside of the mouth, such as teeth and gums?”

“Just pulling out a rotten tooth?”

“huh.”

“Perhaps he wants to leave it to you?”

“Exactly.”

Valentino grins again.

He shook his head and said.

“Ever since I was in medical school, I have been interested in the condition and management of patients’ teeth. “I guess His Majesty also took note of that.”

“Then… are you sure you’ll take it?”

“why? no?”

“Like a torture technician.”

“huh?”

Valentino was surprised.

My fiancee smiled and said, as if she was embarrassed.

“Still, I think you’ll pull out your teeth well.”

“Is that so?”

“huh. surely.”

Valentino also laughed at his fiancee’s words.

“When it comes time to pick it, you should pick it. “But my thoughts are a little different.”

“then?”

“The best thing is to manage it so that it doesn’t have to be pulled in the first place. Periodically and delicately scrape the surface to prevent tartar from accumulating. Or, in the early stages of a cavity forming, just grind and remove the area and cover it with a hard material to prevent future contamination.”

“But you were laughed at for suggesting such a theory in medical school, right?”

“that’s right. But I think Your Majesty understands my thoughts.”

“really?”

“huh.”

It was true.

He said that was the reason the crown prince called him last evening. I heard you saw a thesis submitted during medical school. He said he was impressed by the content of the paper on dental care. So, I asked his opinion if he would open a dental clinic in the villa and become the head of the department.

So he said…

“I said I would think about it. “That’s why I asked for a day off today.”

“I see.”

“Yeah, sorry.”

“why?”

“Do you think I’m just putting out my own worries?”

“What are you talking about. Your worries are my worries. Isn’t it? Valentino, the prospective dental director?”

“The dental director…”

Valentino felt a strange feeling.

A dream I had a long time ago and then gave up on suddenly came to mind. I wanted to pioneer a field that professionally cares for human teeth. But the wall of reality was high. This was because none of the professors at medical schools were interested in the field of dental care.

So I had to give up. There was nothing I could do to get good grades and graduate. So I buried my dream in my heart. Then, I became involved with the crown prince and somehow ended up getting a job at the annex oriental medicine clinic.

‘And I got scolded by His Majesty the Crown Prince…’

One time, he was caught by the Crown Prince while treating an elderly woman with dementia and her son who came to see him coldly. How cold I was at the time. And how much I reflected on it.

After that, I worked hard.

I tried to treat patients with sincerity.

Of course, I never had any expectations that my long-held dream would come true. Because it was dental care that no one considered important. I thought it was just an unrealistic dream.

But now everything has changed.

It was thanks to the offer I received from the crown prince last evening.

‘Can I do it?’

I don’t know.

To be honest, I’m scared to actually try it. Still, if I work hard, I think there will be a way. My heart was suddenly pounding. It continued like this even after I dropped my fiancee home.

‘Whew. ‘Should I walk a little more?’

I feel excited for no reason. Something feels off. Even the night air was warm, so it wasn’t too bad.

So Valentino walked slowly through the evening streets of the Imperial Capital. I carefully organized and solidified the proposal I received yesterday and my long-held dream and future plans.

But maybe it was because I was too engrossed in my thoughts while walking.

Wow!

He didn’t notice the person walking in front of him and unintentionally let go of his shoulder strap.

“What? sorry.”

I hastily apologized. But it was a strange thing. The person I bumped into looked at me and laughed silently… I got goosebumps.

Why? I couldn’t figure it out. Why do my legs give out as soon as our eyes meet? I wonder if he feels dazed and walks after that person. Am I going to walk down an alley where no one will be? Do I end up unbuttoning the collar of my shirt without realizing it?

And why….

“You’re a fresh guy. Be proud that you are worthy of being a member of my master’s household.”

Are the fangs of the person speaking like that particularly long and sharp?

‘why?’

The moment when you blankly think that you don’t know. The other person approached with his mouth open. Am I really going to get bitten? Numb and hot pain. An eerie sound rang from the back of my neck.

♣

…Qua that!

An eerie sound rang out from the shield. Numb and stiff pain. Did I really get hit? The emperor approached, turning his sword sideways. The moment you stare blankly at that.

“Did you forget about defense?”

The emperor’s stern voice pierced my cochlea.

“…!”

I reflexively lifted my shield.

Only then did the emperor throw down his sword as if he had been waiting.

Kwajak!

‘Huge billion.’

I was out of breath. The forearm supporting the shield rang again. Could this be a broken forearm? I think at least my wrist is gone.

‘I used to just use the ice cap… It’s been a while since I just used the shield.’

It seemed like that. It’s been a while since we’ve had such a strong defense. However, the emperor seemed to have no intention of looking at this.

“I condoned everything, including hospitalizing the dragon and receiving help from Baeknyeonjang, the imperial blacksmith, in treating the dragon. “Numerous ministers expressed concern for your safety and the well-being of the imperial capital, but they all ignored them as well.”

Calm tone of voice.

A sword attack that is not like that.

Quo that!

“…Shoot!”

The shock comes through the shield again and hits the forearm. The emperor’s reprimands continued to be heard in the meantime. No, it’s a joke under the guise of sparring.

“Why would Jim do that? Have you ever thought about it?”

“That…”

Kujak!

“…Geng!”

“You were so out of breath that you couldn’t even finish your excuse?”

“That’s not true…!”

“Or was Jim’s sword strike too heavy?”

“Oh, maybe…”

“Don’t you still understand that the responsibility on your shoulders is even heavier?”

“….”

Mr. Wow.

It really leaves me speechless.

I wanted to retort something. But I couldn’t. It was because he knew very well why the emperor was gifting (?) a one-sided beating today under the pretense of sparring.

“Jim thought you were really wrong. “There was a time when a huge explosion was heard in the direction of the star palace in the middle of the night.”

“….”

“Was that all? Following the binge drinking, a huge mushroom cloud also rose. Even the very foundations of the earth were shaken. “What’s worse is that even the chandelier in Jim’s bedroom fell down out of nowhere.”

“That thing over there….”

“It felt like an absolute catastrophe. “I was so scared that my heart was pounding, cold sweat was breaking out, and my hands were shaking. I thought I had lost you.”

Kwaang-!

“…Oops!”

If you keep going like this, I think you’re going to lose me.

Rachiel truly wanted to shout. He thought that if he blocked the same sword strike one more time, the cartilage in his forearm or wrist would be ejected into the afterlife.

But I couldn’t bear to reply.

It was because of the emperor’s eyes looking at him.

“Don’t make me worry like that again. Do you understand?”

“….”

“answer. “Why don’t you do it?”

“I…”

“Don’t answer like that.”

The emperor took a stance with his sword tilted at an angle. His sharp eyes turned to his right hand. To be exact, it was probably aimed at the sword in his right hand.

“Answer that.”

“Are you sure it’s okay?”

“of course.”

As soon as I heard the answer, I moved. I quickly pulled out the sword and held it. It was cut diagonally with a trajectory between stabbing and slashing. It wasn’t a move I learned from someone. However….

‘Revenge!’

It is full of the anger(?) that has been dealt with so far. Of course, the emperor, who was skilled in swordsmanship, blocked it very easily.

Kakaan-!

It felt like I hit a huge wall. I almost lost the sword for a moment because of the rebound force that came from the sword body. At the same time, I could see clearly.

The emperor’s faint smile was shown in this direction for a very brief moment. The immense joy and satisfaction contained within it.

“….”

He probably felt the Manaheart I got from Kranos through the strike just now. You must have also felt the presence of the Mana Circle, which has become more powerful. That’s probably why I’m so happy.

But I…

‘I’m not your real son.’

Is it okay to carelessly give joy like this? Could this even be a deception? It was only for a moment, but my heart called conscience throbbed.

But I didn’t show it. Because escaping from immediate cravings was more important than the pain of conscience.

So he asked rather shamelessly.

“Do you think this is enough of an answer?”

“It’s sorely lacking. “Refine yourself even more.”

“…yes.”

“I can handle a shield pretty well, but my sword skills are barely that good…”

“….”

“Should I at least give you homework?”

“No!”

Of course, it is an absolute refusal.

Right now, I’m busy just running the villa’s oriental medicine clinic. It’s too much to think of a way to alleviate the weakness of the dragon appendix that I’ve worked so hard to acquire.

‘Besides, the only way to find out is to obtain a high-ranking vampire fang whose location you don’t even know is there, right?’

Honestly, I was at a loss. But then there was the sword training homework.

I was scared and threw up my hands. Fortunately(?) the emperor didn’t actually assign any homework, probably because his words were only half empty. Even more fortunately, Galgum, under the pretense of sparring, also ended there.

“If you come, I will leave now.”

“No, you can leave.”

“We cannot take any more time from your Majesty, who has completed all his work.”

“Jim isn’t very busy today.”

“You can’t take any more time from me when I have a lot of work to do.”

“….”

“I’m so sorry.”

“Tsk. It has been done. “Go away.”

“I am devastated!”

In that way, we barely succeeded in releasing the pressure(?). He left the imperial palace as if running away. All the way back to the villa, I was engulfed in worry in the carriage.

‘Anyway, where do I get high-level vampire fangs?’

Suddenly, I remembered the advice I recently received from Dragon Portis. It is said that the fangs of high-ranking vampires have a self-filtering, poison-neutralizing function. Thanks to this, he said he would be able to neutralize the excessively strong weakness of the dragon appendix.

But the problem was that it was not easy to meet a vampire, let alone a vampire’s fangs.

‘It would be almost impossible to run into each other on the street or even bump into each other, let alone meet each other. Because it is a race shrouded in mystery. ‘I’ve said everything since he never appeared properly even in the novel Demon Sword Emperor.’

I was embarrassed.

Considering that his biggest weapon in living in this world was the ‘information’ he had from reading the novel Demon Sword Emperor, this task was truly difficult and daunting.

‘So I hope Valentino accepts my offer.’

Let’s open a dental clinic at the annex oriental medicine clinic. What if we do it well? So suggested. It was a vague hope that if dentistry became popular, vampires would come to take care of their teeth.

Of course, I haven’t heard back from Valentino yet.

But then…

“Hmm?”

As I got off the carriage that arrived at the villa, I saw a familiar person across from me. The back of a white gown slinking into the lobby of a villa oriental medicine clinic.

“Valentino?”

It was nice to meet you. called.

Did you hear the call from here?

Valentino paused. I turned towards this side. But his complexion was a little… strange. He was pale. The eyes were full of dark circles the size of a panda’s sworn brother. Is it body aches? Or maybe I have the flu.

‘what?’

Rachiel frowned.

As soon as I saw Valentino, who had become drastically emaciated in just a day or two, the instincts I had accumulated over a long period of time as an Oriental medicine doctor strangely stirred. Immediately, acupuncture point scanning was activated and Valentino was observed.

However, the scanning results were… very surprising.

I swear it was the first symptom I had ever seen.

If I had to express it, it felt like I wanted to wipe my eyes thoroughly with an Italian towel.
