Chapter 156
The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 156
Episode 156 Expensive medical expenses (1)
“Then you have to pay the medical expenses now, right?”
Rachiel’s smile brightened.
Every action in the world must come with a price. Labor requires fair compensation. Many part-time jobs must be paid a legitimate hourly wage. Even if you pull out your father’s gray hair, the law of the world is that you should receive 100 won per strand!
But free medical treatment?
That was ridiculous.
‘Especially from an elf like this, I definitely have to get it!’
Rakiel inwardly nodded his head vigorously.
In fact, while running the Detached Oriental Medicine Clinic, he had never once received money for medical expenses. The reason was to allow anyone, regardless of rich or poor or status, to come to receive treatment without burden. I actually enjoyed seeing the effects.
But things were different now.
‘From now on, I’m going to have to cough up quite a lot of money to this elf. As compensation for the damage caused by burning the forest. But my stomach hurts too much to just give it away.’
It was like that.
My stomach hurt.
I felt like I was being ripped off for staying still. It was unfair. Even while I was sleeping, I would wake up tossing and turning several times, and my stomach would hurt so much that I would sometimes even press the scissors. I couldn’t bear it!
‘…How did you earn that money!’
This is the money I accumulated by selling Minotaur Hwangcheongsimwon. This money was earned by selling all the valuables in the villa. I didn’t want to hand over that kind of money helplessly.
So it was.
“Surely Sylvia? You didn’t think the treatment was free, right? “Right?”
“….”
gulp.
Sylvia’s neck shook silently. She had to barely hold back from giving an almost honest answer.
‘I thought it was free…’
I thought so.
Raquiel Adria Magentano. Crown Prince of the Empire. She had done her own research into the criminal who burned down the forest in Amboise. Of course, I knew full well that the treatment fees at the annex oriental medicine clinic he ran were free.
So it was unfair.
In the end, she couldn’t bear it anymore and asked back.
“I heard it’s free?”
“Who?”
“People?”
“What kind of people?”
“Many people… received medical treatment here.”
It was like that. It really was. That was certain. But I couldn’t understand why the crown prince was now making such unexpected remarks as asking for medical expenses.
“But why are you trying to collect medical fees from me? “Isn’t this unfair?”
She asked with sincerity.
Rachiel asked back as if asking what kind of nonsense he was bringing out with his beat box.
“You mean it’s unfair? “Am I making a reasonable request?”
“of course? this?”
“yes.”
“What is natural?”
“Silvia, you didn’t fill out the medical treatment receipt.”
“…uh?”
“Didn’t you hear? A medical treatment receipt. “You didn’t write it, right?”
“Uh, yeah…”
“So, you have to pay the medical bills.”
“….”
why!
Sylvia wanted to scream. A medical treatment receipt came out of nowhere. I didn’t understand what it had to do with not filling it out and having to pay medical bills that others didn’t.
However, as she listened to Rakiel’s calm answer, she felt a shock, as if the back of her head had been hit by a pork cutlet hammer.
“There is this information on the medical treatment receipt. “The treatment fee at Byeongung Oriental Medical Clinic is free.”
Fly!
Rachiel responded and took out a piece of paper. It was a medical treatment receipt from Byeongung Oriental Medical Clinic. He pointed to a place at the bottom of the receipt.
“here. “You can see it because your eyes are good, right?”
“….”
“It says free, right?”
“….”
“So, you know that the person who fills out this receipt can receive treatment for free, right?”
“….”
“But you didn’t write a receipt, right?”
“….”
“It’s not free, right?”
“….”
mom.
Sylvia wanted to cry.
Is this not profiteering? No, I wanted to question whether it was a joke or not. If I could, I wanted to hit the smiling prince in the face with 30 round trips.
But it couldn’t be done.
Steel…
before I knew it, all directions were blocked. A black-haired man named Damian who always stays by the crown prince’s side. And the Royal Guard and the Special Forces. And even a huge Minotaur. Everyone was surrounding this area with a stern gaze.
So, this was a situation where the robber would have looked nice!
“…Are you trying to extort money by force?”
“Uh huh. Why do you speak like that? Since you provided quality medical services, wouldn’t you like to receive reasonable medical fees?”
“….”
“Then no way. Did you try to run away with medical expenses? Wow, I’ve never seen people like that.”
“No, I…”
“They said they came to collect compensation for burning the forest from me. How did I react then? Did you rebel? Did you refute it? “No, right?”
“So…”
“So what.” I didn’t make any excuses and cooperated obediently with all the questions they asked. I participated in the negotiations sincerely. In addition, they discovered that Sylvia had been infected with lung flukes, which she had not been aware of, and even treated her with care. But is this the return you get?”
“…No, I mean!”
“Are you going to pay for the treatment?”
“How much is it?”
“100,000 Mazen.”
“…crazy!”
“You don’t have that kind of money, do you?”
“of course!”
It’s profiteering. This is really profiteering.
But Rakiel remained calm. Realizing once again the importance of the medical insurance system, I drove Sylvia into a prepared trap(?).
“Then how much do you have?”
“….”
“Oh, no way.”
“….”
“You don’t have a penny, do you?”
“….”
Sylvia’s face turned red. I knew it. The smile at the corner of Rachiel’s mouth changed into that of a hunter. But he sneered and hid his smile.
“Oh, that would be difficult. “The poison ivy that I fed to Urus was brought in very expensively.”
“….”
“Furthermore, the tools used for drying, crushing, and baking Minotaur dung can no longer be used for other purposes. The cost of the tools and equipment is quite high.”
“But!”
“But what?”
“This is the crown prince’s villa?”
“So?”
“Isn’t all the money coming from the imperial family anyway?”
“No.”
“…what?”
“I guess it’s because you don’t know His Majesty well, but the nobleman is overly interested in cultivating independence in his successor. “The villa here does not receive a single penny of operating funds from the imperial family.”
“Then what about here?”
“Is it operational? I sell medicine and run a business. “But they are trying to take away the cost of the lacquer tree and the equipment and not pay the medical fee.”
“No, I’m not saying I won’t pay.”
“They said they had no money.”
“No, that’s it.”
“How is that different from being a pear?”
“I didn’t mean that.”
“Or what?”
“Is there a way to pay the medical bills instead of money?”
“….”
Bingo.
Rachiel tumbled in place and barely suppressed the feeling of wanting to beatbox. He still maintained a calm expression and spoke as if it was no big deal.
“If it’s that way, well, it’s possible.”
“there is?”
“yes. “Of course it’s not dangerous, dirty or humiliating.”
“What?”
“Hmm, that’s it. What can I say? “Did you know that a banquet is being held every day at the second prince’s palace these days?”
“uh. know.”
“Can you attend the banquet?”
“…what?”
Sylvia blinked. I asked you to attend the banquet of the human imperial family. It was an unexpected request.
‘what.’
A look of suspicion as thick as bone broth appeared in her eyes as she looked at Rachiel. It was unexpected, but it wasn’t a bad request, so I was a little suspicious. It seemed like the crown prince was up to something.
“Attending the banquet… what should I do?”
“You just need to attend.”
“Attendance only?”
“yes.”
“….”
“There really is no other meaning. All you have to do is attend and be present. “I will benefit greatly from that alone, thanks to Sylvia.”
“profit…?”
“yes.”
“What benefit?”
“I guess it’s a benefit that makes the banquet stand even brighter.”
Rakiel added, speaking politely.
“Because that’s what a human banquet is.”
“….”
Sylvia thought for a moment. All you have to do is attend. You can just stand still. It was a somewhat unexpected and outrageous request, but I thought it wouldn’t be such a loss. No, it didn’t seem like anything would be easier than that.
‘It’s a little awkward and burdensome to appear in front of so many people… but I can deal with that. It’s much better than paying for medical bills that you can’t afford.’
The calculation is complete.
She made up her mind.
“…good. “Let me accept that request.”
“Well thought out. Then, I will send you the dress you will wear when you attend the banquet in the afternoon.”
Operation successful.
Rachiel smiled happily.
Looking at that scene, both the Royal Guard and the Special Forces thought. Our Crown Prince’s words are so mean and obnoxious, but if you get to know him, he seems to be a rather cool person. In fact, he wasn’t going to receive medical fees from the beginning, but he used that as an excuse to naturally invite an elf to the banquet.
‘I never thought you would create an opportunity to become intimate with an elf so smoothly.’
‘An elf attends a human banquet and even the imperial banquet? Was there a precedent for that? Was that request accepted?’
‘This is great resourcefulness. ‘I want to learn too.’
Everyone was amazed.
And I looked forward to it.
How will the crown prince capture the heart of the elf he invited to the banquet hall today? Perhaps an unprecedented elf empress will be born in the Magentano royal family.
While each person was slurping down kimchi soup that the crown prince himself had no idea about, the daylight filled with misunderstandings passed one by one.
♣
Time has passed.
It was already evening.
As always, a grand banquet was held in the second prince’s palace. 50 princesses and ladies invited from each country began an elegant war, showing off their individual charms.
Glasses of wine and smiles passed back and forth.
Sweet music and dessert.
It was around this time that the ladies’ cheeks were slightly tinged with fragrant intoxication. Rachiel, who had been silently in the corner until then, moved. I went up to the banquet hall podium. He slowly gave a glance outside of everyone’s attention.
“….”
The servants of the second prince’s palace moved after receiving his glance. They brought a long table and placed it on the banquet hall platform. That wasn’t all. Luxurious boxes were stacked neatly on the table. All of those things were accomplished smoothly and smoothly.
Thanks to this, everyone in the banquet hall stopped dancing and talking. Suddenly, everyone’s attention was focused on the table, the colorful boxes stacked on top of it, and Rachiel. At that moment, Rakiel spoke calmly to everyone.
“Hmm, everyone, I would like to express my gratitude in the name of Crown Prince Raquiel Adria Magentano for honoring this occasion like this today. Cough… Cough! In addition, I have prepared this precious opportunity to provide beautiful privileges and opportunities to all of you who are here today.”
Buzz, buzz…
Everyone nodded and looked at the crown prince. On the other hand, I internally tilted my head. What is that corrupt prince trying to do now? Perks and opportunities? What is it that causes so many boxes to be piled up on the table?
I got curious.
I got interested.
A selfish and rewarding smile appeared on Rachiel’s lips.
“Therefore, through this opportunity, I would like to introduce to you for the first time ever, ‘The Slim’, a revolutionary diet pill for weight control that I recently developed.”
Bbabam!
With a wink from Rachiel, the orchestra blew a magnificent trumpet. The curtain behind the platform where he was standing was suddenly lifted. Behind the lifted curtain, today’s advertising model elf Sylvia, showing off her well-balanced elf physique, was revealed.
Everyone’s eyes are focused on her!
Sylvia gritted her teeth as she tried to smile stiffly.
‘Prince… Is this what you meant when you said that all you had to do was attend the banquet and stay still?’
The full-fledged home shopping sales of The Slim, a concentrate of Vesparos queen bee liquor, which will be called a miracle diet drug, hit the banquet hall by surprise.
