The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 212

* * *

A month had passed.

“Do you really think Those Guys will come?”

I slowly turned my head.

The place I was in was a vast Plains. As for where this was, it would be about halfway between the Hei Family Estate and the Capital where the Imperial Palace was located.

The wide Plains reminded me of the grasslands in milk commercials I’d seen on TV in my past life.

It was certainly land that would be hard to see in various ways from the Hei Family Territory, which had mountainous areas nearby.

‘Come to think of it, I’m traveling the World because of those Imperial Palace guys.’

In the third round too, I had wandered around trying to gain the Imperial Palace’s recognition.

Looking back now, it was all pointless work.

The Wind blows fiercely.

Dad was standing tall beside me. I had just sneezed and blinked my eyes.

The Wind coming toward me became as gentle as Thread Wind and turned into a warm breeze. I grinned broadly.

“Thanks, Dad.”

Dad’s eyes curved slightly. Not satisfied with just that, he took off his outer garment and wrapped it around me, making me burst into laughter.

No matter how much I’ve grown, I must still look like a child to Dad. I really liked that aspect.

“I asked if Those Guys would come, didn’t I? Of course they’ll come.”

Currently, the vast Plains were filled with Tents. They were Tents of our Hei Family people.

Of course, these Tents didn’t contain only Hei Family people, but I’ll talk about that later.

The strategy I devised worked out amazingly well.

The Imperial Palace side accepted my request to meet halfway, so discussions about the Advanced Physician would proceed on the Plains.

You might wonder if it’s worth moving such a large number of people for just one Physician.

But if that Physician is a leader who could take all the Physician forces under them and defect to another country, that’s a different story.

Especially for an Empire that survives on Healing Ability alone, in This Place where such abilities are already precious.

‘They must be scared shitless.’

Not only that? The Eight Families, who were like their hands and feet, had been cut off one by one over the past few years.

Though they weren’t all dead, only the defeated remained. Grandmother had played a huge role in that.

‘As expected, that person should have been a Warrior or general rather than a Physician…’

Though she insists otherwise. I wonder what would have happened if she had held a Sword instead of Acupuncture Needles.

She used Wind Power quite well as an offensive Ability too.

“Because I scattered very tempting bait that he can’t refuse.”

Dad frowned slightly.

“By ‘he,’ do you mean the Emperor?”

“No, would it be that Elder lying on his deathbed counting his days? I’m talking about the Crown Prince.”

“You talk as if you know him well.”

I felt a little stung. It wasn’t wrong, after all.

In the third round, until I died at the Crown Prince’s hands, he cherished me terribly.

Of course, that was separate from the fact that I didn’t welcome his affection at all.

‘Don’t go anywhere. I’ll soon become Emperor, and you’ll be this Imperial Palace’s physician forever. I’ll give you anything!’

A bastard with only smooth words.

Whether I wanted to or not, being close to him meant I learned many things about him.

Thanks to that, it’s become flesh and blood that I’m putting to good use in this round.

Indeed, everything turns out to be a blessing in disguise.

“I know enough. The human whose limbs Grandmother cut off, the bastard who’s the master of This Nation yet ignores physicians. His reputation as an Oriental Person discriminator is so famous it makes me yawn.”

That bastard might be pretending to hold back his disgust even after coming here. If he gets stabbed for it, I wouldn’t know.

Even though I knew that a rotten fish is still a fish and the Crown Prince wouldn’t quietly get stabbed, I still pulled up the corners of my mouth.

“It’s a scale that looks like war might break out.”

“I agree.”

Various forces were gathering one after another on the Plains. As I mentioned earlier, not all these many Tents belonged to the Hei Family Estate.

‘A real war might actually break out.’

If I were to list the various forces gathered Here, they would be: the Kingdom Beyond the Desert, the Southern Empire, mercenary groups second to none, and even wandering nomadic tribes.

These were people who had received help from the Hei Family Estate over the past few years.

‘I did focus on treating those who remember favors and grudges.’

Reflecting on memories from the third round, helping them had a great effect.

When I subtly mentioned that we might clash with the Imperial Palace, they all said it was dangerous and sent their own forces.

“Of course, I have no intention of letting those forces fight the Imperial Palace.”

I’m a Physician, not someone who starts wars.

“There’s a saying in the Western Continent about the discord of the golden apple.”

“Ah, becoming the protagonist of discord even when you don’t want it?”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“Oh my, I guess it’s because Dad gave birth to me as a superstar.”

Dad was holding back laughter but then became serious.

“Arin gave birth to you.”

“Boo, you fool who only knows Mother.”

Dad and I looked at each other and burst into laughter again.

“How far has the Imperial Palace come?”

“Probably soon.”

I looked in the direction Dad was pointing. Since it was the Plains, I could see a dust cloud raised by many people in the distance.

My eyes hurt, so I squinted slightly.

“Do you believe Raon will do well?”

My fox, who should have been protecting me like a shadow originally, is no longer Here.

I slowly raised my head.

I can see Dad’s calm face with no expression. Now I know how much affection lies within that expressionless mask.

I’ve grown so much. My body, and my heart that wouldn’t grow despite multiple regressions.

“Then. I trust you.”

I curved my eyes into a smile.

“It’s okay if you fail. We’re family.”

“Hmm….”

It was the moment Dad was about to say something.

– Hmm, are we really family?

Mother poked her head out from beside Dad. Oh my, when did she arrive?

– Do you really think we’re family? Hm? Hm? Hm?

“Arin.”

When Dad called Mother’s name sternly, Mother turned toward Dad with cotton candy-like sparkling eyes.

– Why, honey? What? Do you have something to say?

“….”

Where his stern expression had quietly disappeared, Dad slightly averted his gaze. I couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

‘What a really nice day.’

Since we’re meeting for not-so-good reasons, if it weren’t for the possibility of conflict that might arise, I would have brought Ayan too.

Currently, that child stayed at the Main House with Brother Gyewon.

Thinking about how she was screaming to be taken along too, Brother Gyewon’s ears are probably bleeding by now.

“What, you were here?”

Water shot up, and someone plopped down next to me. The person who landed lightly was Uncle.

“There are damn too many people. Those Imperial Family guys are coming soon too, right?”

“Yeah, I heard from Dad. Did you do what Little Uncle asked?”

“Yeah, your letter or whatever. I delivered them all.”

I had Uncle deliver the instructions I had prepared in advance to the representatives of the forces that came here.

“This day really has come.”

Second Uncle and Dad were the ones who had vehemently opposed my plan. Even if they went along with it, they seemed to want to proceed while excluding me as much as possible.

I’m not a three-year-old Little One anymore, and I’m the Family Head, so how could that be possible?

“Hey, Niece. I’m curious about something, didn’t you enclose something with the letter you sent to the Imperial Family?”

“I did, didn’t I?”

“What was that?”

Little Uncle turned his head to check the Imperial Family forces running from far away.

“What the hell was it that they’re running like colts with their tails on fire? As if you planted a bomb in the Imperial Palace?”

“That? Immortality Elixir.”

“Aha…wait, what?”

I looked up at Uncle, who was much taller, and grinned wickedly.

“Publicly, the Crown Prince’s greatest wish is the Emperor’s Complete Cure. The medicine I gave them will be a direct hit if they give it to the Emperor.”

Not only will it save the Emperor who was certain to die, but it will also turn his grayed hair back to black and restore his skin color to normal.

At my words, everyone except Mother was staring with wide eyes. Though that was only Dad and Uncle.

“You… what the hell did you make?! If you have something like that, you should give it to your Dad!”

“Oh, Little Uncle, are you interested in immortality?”

“Not me, your Father!”

“No, I don’t really need it either.”

I giggled as I looked at Uncle’s face full of confusion.

“The issue with the Medicine I gave is that it only appears to cure.”

“Huh?”

“The Emperor is destined to die. A Physician cures diseases, not someone who changes natural lifespan.”

In the third round, when I saw the Emperor, he was sick, but he was also an Elder whose lifespan was nearly over.

Really, he had been barely living with illness and then old age came.

“Does the Crown Prince even know about this situation?”

But the Crown Prince thinks my Medicine is effective and will come running blindly.

He would have finished his experiment by giving my Medicine to the Emperor, and now he’ll be coveting the Medicine he’ll receive.

From the beginning, he had no interest in treating his Father. He was just using his Father as an excuse to find what he was looking for.

I don’t know why he’s so obsessed with immortality either. They say all rulers desire it, but he was particularly severe.

‘What do I care about that bastard’s circumstances.’

I’m not even curious about circumstances he didn’t tell me even when he kept me by his side in the third round.

I raised the corners of my mouth as I watched the dust storm gradually approaching.

“All we need to do is roast, steam, and cook the wolf that’s drooling and running toward us.”
