Queen of The Scalpel - Chapter 32
Translated by Skye
“By the way…every time I see you, I feel this, but your ability seems to be quite amazing. You’re in such a complete change.”
“And.”
“Oh, again, sorry, my Lord.”
The reason why the prince’s face changed was because of his ability from the Romanov family.
But the crown prince shook his head.
“Well, what’s special about it? Let’s wait a little longer.”
“Your Highness… ..but…”
“I’ll take care of it.”
The servant was forced to shut up.
“Then let’s go back. I’m worried about something getting worse.”
“Is there anything else you want to look around?”
The Crown Prince did not answer.
Actually, there was one place to visit.
Theresa’s Hospital.
That is where his fiancé, Young Lady Clorance, is working.
Not long ago, the emperor’s audience came to mind.
‘Elise, go and see for yourself if the child is doing well.”
“Elise…”
He frowned slightly.
I remembered the day I met her last time.
She was like a totally different person, no she turned to be like ‘that woman’. The girl that day looks like that woman and he doubted his eyes for a few times.
He recalled what the girl had said that day.
‘I’ve talked about unwanted engagement, and I’m so sorry.
‘You don’t like me.’
Her remark that day was strangely offensive.
Actually, there’s no reason for him to get offended.
“Your Highness?”
The servant called him again by the title of Your Highness.
But, thinking he was a disobedient servant, the crown prince said.
“Let’s go back to the Imperial Palace.”
Now that he’d been ordered by the father, he’ll have to go, but he didn’t like it strangely.
‘Promise.’
He murmured the word inwardly.
Although the bet remain, she is sure to be his fiancé.
There is no chance that she would win that ridiculous bet, and above all, the Emperor wanted her.
It is a greatest lie to think that he has a gentle impression. The Emperor is an iron-blooded giant who has an empire that encompasses the entire world.
As soon as he wanted something, the engagement is already settled. It’s just that he delayed the time in consideration for her who is like his niece.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter. Whoever the fiancé is.”
After that day, he had only one wish left.
So it didn’t matter who is going to be.
“Yes, this way, please. I reserved a carriage. It’s a bit far, so we have to walk a little.”
The servant guided him.
But as he walked, he came across into a creepy alley.
“Do we have to go this way?”
“If we don’t go through this road, we have to go a long way. Don’t worry, it’ll be okay. Even if a robber shows up, I will do everything. Haha.”
He is a servant that is a scholar that is in middle-age, but he is also an outstanding knight who belonged to the Royal Knights in his old age.
The robbers in these alleys could be dealt with even one hand.
“And two years ago, you, a portraist and a war hero in Angelli, you are an unparalleled force like me, and I can’t harm you unless the army comes.”
But were his words really that reassuring ?
Someone appeared deep in the alley.
“—S-stop there.”
“G-give me everything you have…”
The thick-bearded robber threatened them with a rusty knife.
The crown prince frowned.
“He’s an opium addict.”
“I think so too.”
The hand with the knife was shaking.
His blurry eyes were typical of opium addicts.
“It’s been a long time since it was prohibited opium by law, but there’s still opium in the capital.”
“I will order Lord Haseul to investigate.”
“Yes, we’ll have to hand that addict over to the security forces first.”
They met a robber with a knife, but there was no sign of tension on his face when he talked to them.
‘There’s 10 of those robbers and they have deal with it.’
The servant, who thought so, pulled a sword from his waist and aimed it at the robber.
Clang!
“If you don’t want to get hurt, put the knife down.”
“D-don’t come near!”
The robber backed away from the unusual courage of the servant.
The servant approached the robber with the intention of suppressing him at once.
Meanwhile, the crown prince looked indifferently at the figure and took out a cigarette and bit it.
“Let it go!”
It wasn’t an emotion suitable for a life-threatening robber, but it was resisting.
“Yes, let go.”
He looked up at the dark night sky.
It wasn’t the feeling he just had.
‘After what happened that day after day?’
He is the most noble man to inherit this country, but his heart was always calm and desolate.
‘Nonsense thoughts.’
He shook his head.
“Hick! Get away!”
Eventually, the opium addict threw away his knife and ran off.
“Stand there!”
“Don’t chase me! I’ll kill you!”
The servant followed behind in a breath, and his hand snatched the robber’s neck.
He smiled at the thought that he had caught him.
“You! Stay still!”
But that was the moment!
A sound that I had never thought of resonated.
Bang!
The Royal family of the Britia Empire is the last remaining mystical beings in the world, and had supernatural abilities.
Randol thought to himself.
‘That supernatural power is the true symbolism of the Romanoff family.’
Many Romanov’s abilities can be used throughout the continent.
The symbolism that comes from there is a great number of royal families collapsing, and some even thought that the Romanoff imperial family is strong because of their ability.
Of course, the prosperity of the Romanov family was due to the selection of emperors by the citizens not because of their portrait ability.
Now that the development of industry is led of the era of guns and cannons, the meaning of supernatural ability has faded a lot.
Still, its symbolism is never been ignored.
The citizens of the Britia Empire are proud that the imperial family that ruled them are masters of supernatural power.
“Before, no, my Lord. How are you feeling? Haven’t you been feeling weak lately?”
“Yes, I did.”
“Are you sure you can’t keep sleeping?”
Sleep?
The crown prince grinned at the question.
Since “That Day” 15 years ago, he has never slept comfortably.
He had a nightmare that always repeats all the time.
However, it wasn’t because he couldn’t sleep that he have been feeling under the weather lately.
“Have you been treated?”
“A long time ago I’m taking the medicine that the doctor gave me, so I’ll get better soon.”
The servant spoke anxiously.
“I don’t think taking medicine has much effect. You keep getting tired. Why don’t you go see a doctor again before you return to the palace?”
Surely the feeling of fatigue was long lasting for a simple overwork.
