The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 146

Episode 146 Diet is your destiny (1)

It was okay at first. I thought it would be okay. Even after he competed against his older brother, the Crown Prince, in the famous Roy-Harvey Bridge and lost the match, he was really fine.

I just thought it was something like that.

Initially.

“….”

2nd Prince Theodore raised a complicated look. But Rakiel couldn’t see those eyes.

The reason was simple. This was because Theodore’s eyes were obscured by the puffy fat on his eyelids.

Anyway, Theodore let out a sigh through his tingling lips.

‘I thought it was okay…’

It wasn’t.

For the first three days, it was the same as usual. I woke up in the morning, practiced swordsmanship, and took various classes, including kingship, throughout the morning.

I went for a walk at lunch and read a book in the afternoon. In the evening, we met with people from all walks of life and nobles.

It was a very formal and sincere day for the prince. I did not neglect any schedule at any moment. I trained hard, studied diligently, and was serious in every encounter.

Then, on the fourth day, I suddenly realized something. While washing my face. I looked in the mirror while drying myself without thinking. Then, suddenly, I realized something.

The fact that he hadn’t smiled once in three days since he was defeated by his brother.

“….”

It was a shock.

It finally felt real. I wasn’t okay. I was just pretending everything was okay.

It was from then on. A terrible sense of loss came over me. Because I was always conscientious, I had never been lazy since I was young, and I had always worked hard growing up… The sense of loss was as great as the size of the dream and the depth of passion that I had cultivated with sincerity.

Everything became meaningless.

A dream that I thought would come true someday. The hope that he too could become an emperor. All the effort and earnestness of the days I had put there were in vain. It felt pointless. I struggled with a terrible sense of defeat.

Maybe that was why.

Without even realizing it, I impulsively woke up after tossing and turning during the night and ran to the kitchen of the second prince’s palace. He ate the fruit and bread left in the kitchen, still in his pajamas, as if he were a glutton.

‘Of all the foods I’ve ever eaten, it was the most delicious.’

I ate until I was about to vomit. No, I stuffed food into my stomach. And to my surprise… I felt at peace!

For the first time since I was defeated by my brother that day, I was able to sleep comfortably. And when I woke up in the morning, I realized clearly that I had become a completely different person.

Sword training? I didn’t want to do it.

I had to eat to feel at ease.

Various classes, including monarchy? It became annoying. I had to eat to feel at ease.

walk? reading? I wondered what was the point of doing that. Meeting with people from all walks of life and nobles? communion? It got annoying. It felt meaningless. I felt much more comfortable and happy when I was eating than other things.

It was from then on.

When I woke up this morning, I looked for honey-covered bread. Fruits and various types of cream-covered snacks Fried foods and snacks again and again and again and again, and even hearty late-night snacks.

From the moment I opened my eyes until I fell asleep, I chewed my food without getting tired. It filled my stomach. No, I didn’t empty my stomach.

It didn’t matter what others said. happy. I spent a little less than a year like that. Of course, even now, he…

“I’m okay with it looking like this, bro.”

“….”

“Isn’t there a saying that a man should have good looks? This isn’t bad either. ha ha ha.”

“….”

Second Prince Theodore smiled kindly. His plump cheeks swayed as he twerked like a water balloon. When Rakiel saw that, his heart pounded and a red alarm went off.

‘What should I say about this situation?’

I was embarrassed.

It was confusing.

I could never have imagined that the 2nd Prince would grow so much in less than a year, even if I only saw him for a few months.

On the one hand, I was able to realize the guy’s condition. It was thanks to the explanation I had just heard from the 2nd prince.

“Isn’t it bad? “Just eating all day?”

“Yes, brother. What can I say? “I feel very relaxed.”

“Well, that looks good enough.”

“Is that so?”

“….”

That’s bullshit.

I can tell right away.

‘This guy has stress bulimia.’

As diligent as I was, the frustration I received from failing was enormous.

It was probably the first time I had experienced such a failure in my life. Because he was born as the son of an emperor, he would have lived a life without knowing anything about failure. You must have grown up with a lot of expectations from those around you.

‘As much as I was sincere, I had the mentality of a greenhouse flower.’

In the end, it collapsed like this, unable to overcome a single defeat. No, in this case, rather than collapsing, should we say that it has become too strong?

Anyway, Rachiel realized the seriousness(?) of the situation.

‘ah. If you do this, you’ll be out.’

His eyebrows furrowed.

He had come to take care of the numerous courtship letters that had been sent to him. With the cooperation of the 2nd prince, the plan was to hold a banquet at the 2nd prince’s palace.

By inviting suitors to the banquet, he attempted to create a romantic relationship between the second prince and the ladies.

Of course, I was confident that I would succeed.

It was because the 2nd prince’s specifications were so great. Even his appearance was because he was an incredibly handsome man.

But looking at it now?

‘…Handsome men are shit! Even if I make a smoked barbecue right now, it will serve 50 people, really!’

The plan that had been put forward based on the 2nd prince’s handsome appearance is about to be shaken to its core and fall apart. No, this is the level of a Rocky Mountain brown bear throwing a psychological kick at the root of the plan.

‘under. Life really.’

Rachiel let out a long sigh. Should I give up on my plan? But I didn’t want to leave like this.

“Hey you.”

“Yes, brother.”

“Are you ever thinking of going on a diet?”

“…A diet?”

The 2nd prince was flustered and blinking with his buttonhole eyes. Looking at the guy’s expression, it seemed like it was his first time hearing the word diet.

Rachiel corrected the suggestion.

“I mean weight loss. “Are you thinking about losing weight?”

“Flesh… you mean?”

“uh.”

Rachiel nodded. It must be done. We absolutely have to make this guy slim again. Only then will I be able to woo this guy!

I burned my will and applied the whip to persuasion.

“I’m a little wary of talking about this since you say you’re satisfied with your current situation, but I’m worried.”

“But brother, I am satisfied with the current situation.”

“okay. Of course you will be satisfied. I know. But I’m saying this because that condition is not good for your health.”

“Health… you mean?”

“uh.”

Nod firmly.

He persuaded me with his confident gaze.

“If you stay obese, you will get all kinds of diseases. Things like hyperlipidemia or diabetes. Additionally, your ankle and knee joints will deteriorate due to excessive weight gain.”

“….”

“Is that all? Not only high blood pressure, but also various endocrine problems may occur. There are also cases of fatty liver disease or narrowing of the heart blood vessels. There are so many more, so to speak. “That’s why obesity is dangerous.”

“….”

“And you’re going to keep living like this?”

“yes.”

…why!

I almost shouted. The 2nd prince said hesitantly.

“I’m really fine. “Really.”

“….”

“Actually, I know. It’s not good to live like this in many ways. But it’s still okay. Because I feel at ease. Besides, it wouldn’t be any harm to anyone if I stayed like this.”

“….”

“So, I understand how you feel. But, I don’t know if you have to force yourself to lose weight. “I don’t really want to do that.”

“….”

I couldn’t think of anything to say in response. What can you do if you say you don’t like it? Because you can’t force yourself to lose weight.

‘It’s a mess.’

Rachiel bit her lower lip. I tried my best to persuade him, but surprisingly, it didn’t work.

I was embarrassed. Above all, the most perplexing thing was that I could not sense the second prince’s will to diet at all.

‘The most important thing in dieting is your own will and motivation.’

That wasn’t working at all.

I thought it shouldn’t be like this.

‘of course. Because there are limits to dieting that you push on others. ‘Because it is bound to fail.’

This is unconditional. This is an indisputable fact. Even if you succeed in losing a moderate amount of weight? In the end, there is a 99.9% chance that you will face the yo-yo again.

So, you must have the motivation to lose weight on your own. Still, it’s the thing called diet that determines whether it will succeed or not.

‘Write it. What do we do.’

Rakiel looked at the second prince with a puzzled look. I couldn’t see the answer.

How can we force this guy, who is not just obese but severely obese and has no will, to lose weight? How can I make you hold on to your will?

I was worried.

But I didn’t give up.

‘Think about it, Lee Han. ‘Think about it.’

I racked my brain hard. I made origami with the cerebral cortex. I searched for the memories packed in the folds of my brain.

Then, slowly, an angle appeared.

‘Yeah… If you think about it, this guy was fundamentally a very sincere guy. The sense of responsibility was unusually strong.’

Those were the scenes shown in the novel Demon Sword Emperor. Although he suffered his downfall due to his indecisiveness, 2nd Prince Theodore was basically a diligent model student. When I remembered that guy’s personality, I got a clue.

‘…This is it.’

I saw a piece of the puzzle. Gathered ideas. Stacked, assembled and combined.

The 2nd Prince created a magic word that would fuel his will to lose weight. I was fully loaded with sentences. In order to launch in earnest, I moistened my tongue with saliva.

“Whew. I see “I brought this up too easily without knowing how you felt.”

“It’s okay, brother.”

…It’s okay.

I’m not okay, man.

But soon you won’t be okay either.

Rachiel quickly put on a sinister smile and opened her mouth.

“But phew. “I guess I can’t help but tell this story.”

“What… story are you talking about?”

“Actually, that’s true.”

Take aim with a little luck. I deliberately slowed down the tempo to get his attention. Firing faintly.

“Actually, I don’t think I’ll live for another year.”

“…Yes?”

The second prince flinched as if he was surprised.

But Rachiel didn’t care at all.

Rather, because it was only half the truth, I began to lay thick, red lies that were about a million light years away from the real truth on my tongue like a conveyor belt sushi plate.
