Chapter 87

    Chapter 87

    Last week, in episode 4 of The Royal Physician, Yangnyeong Daegun, who enjoyed hunting, and Heo Yuseon, who disliked him, appeared. And then, the preview that everyone was waiting for came out.

    The back of Heo Yuseon, who was lying face down, was shown on the screen.

    [Lift your head.]

    Boom- boom- the drums sounded.

    [Next Wednesday, episode 5 of The Royal Physician, Grand Prince Seongnyeong appears!]

    [Actor Lee Seojun, his first drama appearance!]

    [Not much time left!]

    -How many times did I hear lift your head?

    -As soon as Friday came, I wished it was Wednesday already.

    Its starting! Seojun!

    Yeah.

    Usually, Seojun went to bed early and watched The Royal Physician on VOD or reruns, but today he decided to watch it with his mom and dad.

    The family sat side by side on the sofa and turned on the KBC channel. The new smartphone ad was on. After that, there were car and refrigerator ads.

    Finally, Seojun is in the drama.

    Mom, I thought you didnt show up because you didnt show me.

    Hahaha.

    Lee Minjun and Seojun laughed at Seo Eunhyes joke. That joke was popular on the internet.

    They said he only used his name for publicity, or did he even film, or how well did he film that he didnt show up, and everyone was grinding their teeth.

    Ah, its starting.

    At Lee Minjuns words, the familys eyes turned to the television.

    Boom-boom- the drums sounded and the OST played.

    Heo Uigwan, today you will go to Grand Prince Seongnyeongs residence.

    Yes.

    Heo Yuseon, who had experienced all three Daeguns, Chungnyeong, Hyoryeong, and Yangnyeong, finally went to Grand Prince Seongnyeongs residence. He had to stay there for three days and then go back to Chungnyeong Daeguns residence.

    He was plotting a conspiracy, trying to implicate Heo Daegam in a treason. He saw the Daeguns in his sight.

    Wouldnt it be easier to deal with them than the king? He thought this might be a more certain way than the king, who was worried about his children after the death of Gyeongan Princess.

    Heo Yuseon moved his feet. The palaces were similar, but the atmosphere was very different depending on the owner.

    It smelled like ink in Chungnyeong Daeguns residence, it smelled like incense in Hyoryeong Daeguns residence, and it was free-spirited in Yangnyeong Daeguns residence.

    And the cute Grand Prince Seongnyeongs residence.

    The old Uigwan and Sanggung who took care of the young Grand Prince Seongnyeong greeted Heo Yuseon. They were the ones who were responsible for the health of the person they served.

    Daegunmama, the Uigwan has arrived.

    Let him in.

    Grand Prince Seongnyeongs voice came out.

    -A different line! But its short!

    The door opened. Heo Yuseon bowed his head and touched his forehead to the floor in front of Grand Prince Seongnyeong. The camera showed Heo Yuseon lying down.

    -Hes coming! Hes coming!

    -Hell really show up, right?!

    Lift your head.

    A gentle childs voice was heard. Heo Yuseons head moved. Then, the screen changed.

    The yellow floor was shown on the screen. It seemed like the eyelids closed and opened, the screen darkened and brightened. And then the screen moved slowly.

    Boom-

    The drums hit the viewers hearts.

    Boom-

    The camera slowly rose. The yellow floor and the wooden table came into the screen.

    Boom- boom-

    The drums sounded.

    The camera moved with Heo Yuseons eyes. Slowly, very slowly.

    The wooden table and the covered book on the wooden table were seen. The two small hands neatly placed on the book were also seen.

    Boom-boom- boom-boom-!

    With the drums, peoples hearts started to beat.

    Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-!

    No one could take their eyes off the screen. Lee Seojuns face didnt even show up, but somehow their chests thumped.

    -Heo Yuseon Hes like me, suffering from my boss. I wish I had someone like Prince Seongnyeong to heal me.

    -The royal family is so relaxed, but the people below are working hard. Theres no difference here or there.

    -Im healing by watching Prince Seongnyeong

    -Glad Heo Yuseon changed his mind!

    They went out to the mountain near the palace again today. They enjoyed the scenery of the mountain and climbed it with Prince Seongnyeong and Heo Yuseon.

    Prince Seongnyeong and his guards were fine, but Heo Yuseon was sweating profusely as he climbed the mountain.

    Huff. Huff. Ma, mama. Please go slower.

    Hahaha. You need to exercise more, Heo Eui-gwan.

    Mama will live a long time.

    Of course. I have to live long and see Heo Eui-gwan get married. When a child is born, I hope Heo Eui-gwans child and my child will get along well!

    Prince Seongnyeong spoke of the future with a bright smile.

    Boom- boom- A heavy drum sound rang out.

    Heo Yuseon opened his mouth with a faint smile, catching his breath. At this moment, he forgot everything. Heo Daegam, his wife, his mother. All of them.

    Haha. Then Ill have to teach my child to be a doctor.

    Heo Yuseon imagined a future he had never dreamed of. He felt his heart swell with happiness at the thought of the future. He forgot the anger against Heo Daegam, the revenge he had risked his life for. If he devoted his loyalty to this person, wouldnt he have a very happy life?

    Prince Seongnyeongs small back, looking at the palace, was reassuring.

    Heo Yuseons eyes turned to the palace in front of Prince Seongnyeong. His eyes sharpened like a wolf hunting prey.

    Uh. Its cold. Heo Eui-gwan, lets go down quickly.

    Yes. Mama.

    The weather got colder and winter was approaching.

    [KBCs fusion historical drama, My Doctor, soaring ratings!]

    [Heo Yuseon gave up his revenge? Whats his next move?]

    [Prince Seongnyeongs day, the cold February!]

    - Hes talking so brightly, does he have to die?

    -I guess I got attached to him while watching the drama At first, he was just cute, but now I feel sad whenever Prince Seongnyeong comes out smiling I wish Heo Eui-gwan cured his illness

    -Heo Yuseon Hes finally happy.

    -Ah Really The last line about being cold gets me.

    -But at the end, Heo Yuseons look at the palace is not good, right?

    =??? Is it?

    ***

    Seojun spread the books on the floor. He was busy choosing abilities to fake his death.

    Death.

    He looked around the library of life. To put it nicely, it was a library of life, but it was a story of so much death.

    The monsters who had to die at a young age. The monsters who died because they were weak. And the monsters who died peacefully after living their lives.

    He couldnt even guess the number of books here.

    There were many books in the open library, but there were also many closed libraries. Seojun had experienced this much death.

    The library of death is a bit creepy

    Seojun, who had ended his worries about life and death a long time ago, spoke calmly and chose his abilities.

    When people die, they stop breathing, their body temperature drops, and their heart stops. I can stop my heart, but that would be a bit hard when I wake up. Then lets do this!

    [(Good)Blue Slimes Core-Low Grade]

    Its the core of a blue slime.

    The core of a slime that uses ice as a means of attack is cold.

    While you have the core, you have resistance to ice (low temperature).

    You can control the intensity of ice (temperature).

    Seojun, who chose [(Good)Blue Slimes Core-Low Grade], moved his eyes to the side. There was a pile of books with magic rising from them.

    If its death, it has to be magic!

    Seojun read the black books down to make a perfect act. The books in the library of evil all had serious side effects, so he picked one life from the lowest grade abilities.

    [(Evil)Skeleton Mouses Smell-Lowest Grade]

    Its the first skeleton that a novice black mage made.

    It smells of death because of the imperfect magic.

    It didnt take long for the skeleton to become a skeleton, and it was exposed to the priest because of the unmistakable smell of death and disappeared.

    He died early and was purified by the priest, so theres no side effect. Perfect.

    Seojun smiled wickedly and absorbed the two abilities into his body.
