The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 462

Episode 462. How to succeed to the throne (2)

“Son, I think it is time for you to sit on the throne.”

The emperor’s soft words caressed everyone’s ears.

In a way, it’s half impulsive.

The other half is rational.

So, it was a bombshell statement made with the honest feeling that now was the time.

…Cooper boom!

For a moment, Rachiel felt as if her eardrums were singing a serenade of destruction and performing a lamprey dance of ascension. mistaken? no. I think I heard correctly. That’s why I feel infinitely strong.

‘What just happened?’

gulp.

Rachiel swallowed dry saliva without realizing it. And then he looked back at the emperor with a somewhat creaky gesture.

“your majesty?”

“Hmm.”

“I think I just heard something I shouldn’t have heard?”

“I think I heard correctly.”

“yes?”

“It seems to me that there is no problem with your ears or hearing. “I can see that you clearly understood what I just heard.”

“no. “I just don’t understand.”

“Isn’t your reaction just now proof that you understand?”

“No. I haven’t heard anything. “I have no hearing.”

“Hmm. Even blatantly deceiving Jim.”

“….”

“Looking at that embarrassed expression, it seems that you heard and understood what Jim said correctly. Mullex hardness. Hardness Gardin. “Looking at how everyone has the same face.”

“….”

Rakiel creaked and looked to the side with the feeling of denying reality. Lord Gardin, who happened to be looking this way, made eye contact. Sir Gardin’s eyes were filled with some kind of joy. So, that looks like he just heard the good news that his boss, who he was close with and supported, has been promoted to executive.

“…Zoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

“don’t do it. “Don’t do that!”

“….”

Rachiel hastily stopped Sir Gardin, who was trying to show off his impressive baritone voice. Then he turned to the emperor and asked.

“Do I mean the throne?”

“So be it.”

“Why do you say that?”

“I think I’m fully prepared now.”

Emperor Asterion spoke as if it were obvious. He looked at his son Rachiel with deeper eyes.

“I’ve been thinking a lot about you lately when I heard about you. Ever since you left for the border to serve as an escort.”

“It was an arbitrary decision….”

“But it was a decision that resulted in numerous achievements.”

The emperor continued.

“I was able to hear it all. You soothed the hearts of the Ashrahan family, who had long been saddened by the imperial family, and made them your loyal subjects. Was that all? They even cured chronic diseases that had plagued them for a long time. How could this not be a great harvest for the imperial family and empire?”

“That’s just….”

“Multi Manahat. ” I heard it. There is also news that your bodyguard, Sir Cayenne, has made great progress thanks to you. “If that in itself means that the power of the imperial family has become much stronger, didn’t you go so far as to make the monster who invaded the border your subordinate?”

“Do you mean Tusik?”

“Your naming sense is so poor it’s almost pitiful.”

“…Keuhum hmmm!”

“Furthermore, in the process of resolving the Bone Dragon incident, you bloodlessly took over a city from a potential rival country and turned it into the territory of the empire. Wouldn’t this also be an achievement that will remain in history? Besides-”

“Is there…anyone else?”

“You resolved the diplomatic conflict that followed in a near-perfect manner. “I could never have imagined that you would go to meet the King of Harmion in person.”

“….”

“I was really impressed when I heard how he naturally took over the city by getting the 3rd prince out of trouble.”

“Is that so?”

“yes. So the burden has been decided.”

“Do you mean succession to the throne?”

“It’s good that you understand quickly.”

“Ha haona!”

“Do you?”

“Your Majesty is still very correct!”

You can’t just inherit the throne like this. You cannot fall into the hell of work bombing. If you do that, your activities to gain bonus lives will be seriously disrupted.

Rachiel shouted as if grasping at straws.

But does this mean that they are prepared to accept any number of such protests? An ominous smile appeared on the emperor’s lips as if to say, ‘Of course.’

“Jim corrected me. okay. It’s not wrong. But do you know this?”

“What… do you mean?”

“How is the ‘most normal’ succession to the throne of this royal family carried out?”

“Ah…”

“Fronterra style succession method. “Have you remembered it now?”

“….”

Rakiel closed his mouth.

Then, a thought occurred to me.

Frontera method of succession.

The Magentano royal family’s unique method of succession to the throne began with Charlotte Frontera Magentano, the legendary first empress who elevated this country from a kingdom to an empire.

It was mentioned in the novel Demon Sword Emperor. Even when I came here, I had encountered it through records. However, the succession law had one feature that distinguished it from other royal families.

That is….

“To pass on the throne to the heir when the ancestor is in good health… Do you accept it?”

“Thank goodness. “It seems like there is no problem with your memory.”

“…Keuheuk.”

“What a wonderful and reasonable succession law this is. “By handing over the throne in a peaceful way, the previous generation can properly pass on the experience and knowledge they have accumulated throughout their lives, and this allows for a stable succession for the next generation.”

“….”

The emperor spoke with satisfaction.

Rakiel kept his mouth shut.

Because what the emperor said was right.

‘This is exactly what it is. A succession system for stable and efficient handover.’

It was exactly like that.

Unlike other royal families, where power is inherited only after the death of the ancestor, the Magentano royal family encouraged succession to the throne from generation to generation as long as possible while the ancestor was still alive. In reality, this system had many advantages. This was especially true in that it enabled stable transfer of power and transfer of know-how.

Of course….

‘It’s not like there were instances of sudden death or misfortune in the fleet.’

But the emperor seemed not to want to give that opportunity(?). No, maybe now I just want to hand everything over to them and take a break.

Rakiel thought about that and sighed.

“Whew. “What do you do, Your Majesty?”

“Tell me.”

“I don’t think I’m ready yet.”

“That’s just your opinion.”

“No. “I am confident.”

“Do you have any basis?”

“That’s…”

“Wasn’t it just an excuse to say you don’t want to work and subtly emphasize that you’re not qualified?”

“….”

“Now it’s no use doing that. “I have already noticed all your abilities and potential and am convinced of them.”

“….”

“You become emperor.”

“….”

I can’t leave this out.

It’s literally an outsider’s scam.

Rakiel was keenly aware of the situation he was in. On the one hand, the cause of this situation was quickly analyzed.

‘So far, I… have done really well. That’s the cause.’

I did my best in everything. We put our sincerity into resolving all cases. As a result, he achieved grand feats that even he could not believe.

So it is not unreasonable for the emperor to do that.

‘shit. ‘I should have just gone halfway!’

Rakiel keenly realized his mistake(?). I even thought that perhaps my first step in winning the title of crown prince, which was intended to be passed on to the second prince, was the wrong first step.

‘no. But that’s not it.’

There was nothing I could do at the time.

That was the best choice.

According to the novel, the decline of the Magentano imperial family began after the second prince inherited the throne. It was destroyed because it could not properly respond to the sudden change of Amboise and the militarization and invasion of Javilon’s ascension to the throne.

At that time, with the sole intention of preventing such developments, I confronted the 2nd prince and protected the crown prince. Literally, that was the best thing to do at the time. So much so that if I went back in time, I would probably make the same decision.

After that, the situations were similar.

If I didn’t do my best in everything, I couldn’t survive. Because I did my best to save the patients, I got a bonus lifespan. Survived by overcoming numerous dangers. Even if you really look at each and every detail, these were situations where you had no choice but to do your best.

So in the end, this is the situation.

‘shit.’

Rakiel coolly acknowledged the situation. And then I realized. I can’t refuse this. Even if he says he doesn’t want to become emperor now, no medicine will work. In the end, he had no choice but to become emperor.

“….”

I don’t want to work.

I want to play Tangja Tangja.

I wanted to enjoy happiness without responsibility for the rest of my life.

“…Damn.”

“Hmm, what did you just say?”

“Oh no. “I monologued without even knowing, “I am devastated.”

“Hmm. “I don’t think so.”

“….”

“It sounded like he was grumbling something like ‘damn it.’”

“How is the pain in the area where the surgery was performed?”

“I am truly grateful that you, who were once a sore finger, have grown so wonderfully into the emperor’s treasure.”

“Can’t you feel the blood flowing through the gauze?”

“Is this what it means to be happy? “I guess I’m getting old too, but tears keep falling.”

“Oh, and how to manage the affected area in the future….”

“There are many ways to succeed to the throne, but this time, let’s take it step by step.”

“By the way, the decoction I will send you from now on is….”

“Just as you must consistently take medicine to improve your disease, I will entrust you with a task in the interest of continuing your succession one step at a time.”

“….”

“Are you listening to Jim?”

“…I am listening.”

Failed to turn the horse.

This guy made the right decision.

Rakiel sighed and bowed his head.

Eventually, the emperor’s first homework(?) was handed down.

“Son, you know the names Wenlock and Frasen Sikmar, right?”

“Aren’t those, along with Harmion, one of the three major small countries on the border that suffered damage in this Bone Dragon incident?”

“yes. Accurate. Also, their special envoys are currently staying here in the imperial capital.”

“Surely… you are asking for compensation?”

“yes. “But their demands seem to be quite excessive.”

“If you…”

“Did you notice?”

“Is it okay for me to resolve the negotiation?”

“That’s great. Accurate.”

“….”

“Then go. “If you send me a prescription or a decoction, I will faithfully follow it and drink it.”

“If you say yes….”

“Is there anything else you can say?”

“…No.”

Actually, I have a lot to say.

But now, no matter what I say, it seems like nothing will work. No, I would be lucky if I didn’t get caught.

Eventually, Rachiel withdrew from the presence of the emperor.

I quietly looked up at the blue sky.

About the dream of a rich and unemployed man who missed it.

About the life of the royal family that was sent away.

About the dark cloud-like future that lies ahead.

I thought, worried, and agonized.

‘I am the emperor.’

I can’t believe it.

Honestly, I didn’t even want it.

But now I can’t refuse it.

On the other hand, I don’t want to let go of the life of a wealthy unemployed person.

Then what should I do?

Suddenly it occurred to me that the answer was simple.

“let’s go.”

As soon as I came out, my escort, Damien, clung to me next to me. And Lord Gardin, whose mouth was already pounding with excitement at the news of the succession to the throne.

I got into the carriage with them.

And instructed.

“To the second prince’s palace.”

“yes? “Aren’t you going to the villa?”

Sir Gardin tilts his head. Damian gives a meaningful look as if he has already noticed something. Rakiel looked at the two in turn and smiled.

“I have to pass on the homework and raise it. “For me to feel comfortable.”

It is true.

Rakiel repeated the answer he had just thought of.

‘What if being wealthy and unemployed becomes impossible? Let someone else do the work! I can just be the powerful and leisurely CEO!’
