The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 209

“That labyrinth magic can only be activated by imperial blood, and only the Imperial Family can control it.”

So it only activates in past lives. That’s why I never saw it in the third round.

Though I didn’t know the exact name “labyrinth magic,” I could remember something similar.

‘No one can escape from my Imperial Capital. Haha.’

In the third round, the Crown Prince, who firmly believed I had the Immortality Elixir, eagerly awaited it falling into his hands.

He used to say this to me often. Now that I think about it, he was telling me not to even think about running away.

I seemed to be the only one listening to this story calmly.

“By any chance…”

Raon, who had been quietly silent until now, slowly raised his hand.

He glanced at me as if asking for permission first, so I nodded.

“If there were one more Imperial Family member. Could that person go and control that magic?”

A stiff and formal tone unlike Raon. What was even more surprising was the content.

Because Raon had subtly implied his own identity.

‘The Shaman probably isn’t unaware of the second Prince…’

But it’s different from hinting at it himself, isn’t it.

The Shaman glanced at me. Those were also eyes asking for permission, so I nodded.

“I’ve heard that special training is required to handle that magic.”

According to the Shaman, even if there were another Imperial Family member, it would be difficult.

“It’s possible.”

Raon turned toward me and gazed with sparkling eyes.

…Does that mean what I think it means?

In the midst of this, his pale face was so beautiful. I’m only noticing now… I was surprised that the difference in physique and build between him and the Shaman wasn’t as big as I thought.

Raon had broad shoulders and an upright build, but his innocent face didn’t make that obvious.

‘Hmm, is this why they suddenly want to take Raon away?’

The Imperial Palace is waiting for me with full preparations. Using labyrinth magic as their main weapon.

But on our side, there’s an Imperial Family member who might be able to control that magic.

So they came to eliminate what could become a spark of danger in advance?

‘If this isn’t it, there’s no reason to suddenly try to take Raon away when they know he’s here.’

How absurd.

Did the Imperial Palace think we would obediently hand over Raon?

Haven’t they learned anything from watching the Eight Families get destroyed one by one?

‘Well, what could that arrogant bastard Crown Prince have learned?’

I twisted the corners of my mouth as I recalled that greedy and sinister face.

“Shaman… Wolfsbane, there’s something I want to ask you.”

I naturally tried to call him by name only, but felt the gazes of others and hastily added his surname. That was natural, right?

“Who knows that you came to the Hei Family Estate?”

“No one knows.”

“…No one?”

“Yes.”

Shaman nodded as if certain.

“My family members probably think I went on some final journey before dying.”

Even Hei Birang, who was about to argue, briefly opened his mouth. Well, it is strange for someone to be so detached about their own life.

I glanced at Dad. Our family’s uncle used to be like that in the old days too.

“Then we just need to keep our family members’ mouths shut.”

Of course, I had already taken care of the others who saw Shaman. There are no eternal secrets, so who knows when it might spread.

“So what will you do from now on? If my goal is to overthrow the Imperial Palace, will you cooperate?”

“…Are you asking me?”

Just mentioning overthrow could be treated as treason. I was planning to imprison Shaman without delay if he refused here.

I’ll just confine him until the fight with the Imperial Palace ends. I did treat him, after all.

“Yes. How about that as payment for treatment? Of course, it’s not forced.”

I smiled wickedly.

“Wow, look at this – making such a proposal to the heir of one of the Eight Families’ leaders.”

Uncle added a comment as if he found it amusing.

“Think about it. I’ll give you time at least until this meeting ends.”

I gestured toward an empty seat. Shaman walked toward it but ultimately didn’t sit down.

Regardless, the topic moved on.

“Biyu, no, Family Head. Do you really have to go to the Imperial Palace?”

The fact that there were essential ingredients in the Imperial Palace was still known only to Mother and me.

So for Dad’s complete treatment, we absolutely had to go.

“Not going isn’t an option.”

“You’re saying we should go even after hearing all this, really?”

Not calling me stupid was probably Uncle’s last bit of patience.

I can’t say I disagree either.

When they’ve dug so many traps, walking into them with our own feet would be foolish.

“Going knowing about the traps is different from going without knowing. And anyway, from the moment we rejected the Imperial Envoy’s proposal, we officially gave the Imperial Palace grounds against us.”

I glanced at Raon, and his expression had darkened. I hope he doesn’t think it’s because of him.

Whatever the Imperial Palace had done, I would have answered the same way.

After that, we discussed what to do with the imprisoned Imperial Envoy, how to respond if an all-out war broke out by any chance, and so on.

Even during our long conversation, Raon didn’t say a word.

As the meeting was reaching its end, Shaman, who had been silent, quietly raised his hand.

“Family Head, may I give you my answer?”

“Already?”

I had asked for an answer during the meeting, but I didn’t really think he’d give it right away. I blinked once.

“I’ll help you. However, it took some time as I was thinking about how to help.”

“…You really want to help?”

It was true that he and I had formed a connection in the third round, but in this life, he would have grown attached to his family members.

Even so, it was surprising that he said this. On the other hand, it wasn’t incomprehensible either.

There was someone around me who was trying to destroy his own family. Sylvester Book.

That heir of the Buke Family was destroying his own family from within, leading to their complete ruin without me even having to lift a finger.

“Fortunately, I have no affection for my family.”

Cold air dripped from Shaman’s voice.

“It’s a place that would even try to control the heir by brainwashing their mind if necessary, so how could there be any affection?”

I said nothing.

“And though it’s not a sin I committed, there’s something I want to settle. If you wish, I’ll make an oath about this as well. Please let me help.”

Enduring the suspicious gazes directed at him wouldn’t be easy either.

He slightly frowned or broke into cold sweat from the surrounding killing intent, but still finished stating his position.

“Alright.”

I gave a short answer and then looked at everyone.

“Let’s take a break from the meeting and resume later.”

I said this for only one person.

For my Raon, who was growing darker as the meeting progressed.

* * *

“Are you okay?”

I had temporarily suspended the meeting and come to another room inside the building.

A pleasant wind was blowing in the room with the open window. I glanced at Raon, whom I had brought with me.

“Hm?”

“I asked if you’re okay.”

“Mmm…”

Raon smiled weakly.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Biyu. I’m just a little troubled in my heart.”

That was understandable. I nodded as if I understood.

“Um, you know. Biyu.”

The moment some firm determination appeared on Raon’s hesitant face. I anticipated what he was going to say.

“…How about if I go to the Imperial Palace?”
