The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 220

* * *

The Crown Prince’s attacks continued about two more times after that.

Naturally, as all attempts failed, the atmosphere between the Imperial side and the Hei Family side grew more ominous by the day.

The Warriors also learned that I was fortunately safe when they thought I had been seriously injured, but their anger and resentment from the attacks couldn’t be hidden.

A truly explosive atmosphere circulated between the Hei Family’s Warriors and the Empire’s Knights.

“There were minor quarrels, they say.”

And both I and the Crown Prince’s side watched this unfold. We both knew what this meant. That we were right before the fuse was lit.

“Family Head, the Warriors’ dissatisfaction is growing day by day.”

The forces the Crown Prince brought couldn’t match our family in quality, but their numbers were tremendous.

‘No wonder the Warriors are saying those guys came here for war.’

However, the Crown Prince’s attacks kept failing. The meetings were just dragging on.

‘Where is the ‘Immortality Elixir’ you wrote about in your letter? Does it actually exist?’

Perhaps because of this, he finally brought up the main topic.

From the Crown Prince’s perspective, he was just nitpicking because he found us annoying, but he must have been dying to discuss the Immortality Elixir rather than such trivial matters.

However, the dignity that composed him must have been blocking his itching mouth. Even until things deteriorated this much.

For him, he had endured quite a long time.

‘He wants to finish this soon, doesn’t he?’

The Crown Prince mentioning the Immortality Elixir meant he had seen enough.

And it also meant he was ready to pull out the secret trump card he had been hiding.

As they say, even a rotten fish has its uses.

The Crown Prince’s Special Forces who had been attacking me either disappeared without leaving a single trace of evidence, or committed suicide even when captured, so nothing could be revealed about the mastermind behind the assassinations.

It meant that even though the obvious suspect was right in front of us, when he denied it, there was no evidence to expose him.

How confident must he have been that after several assassination attempts, when I formally reported that ‘there are groups attacking me,’ he said this to me.

The Crown Prince mocked me for being weak enough to suffer assassinations and said this:

‘Haha, you must have really made enemies? I don’t know who, but if you catch the attacker, let me know. I’ll give you the authority to try and punish whoever it is.’

Dad and Hei Birang seemed to feel unbearable anger at this situation, but I had already expected this.

‘Still, he’s a guy who acts like the final boss, so would it be useful if it were this easy?’

Even if it were easy, I had no intention of going easy on him. Wouldn’t that be too pitiful for the people who suffered because of him, and for my third life?

“Family Head.”

The one who opened the barracks and entered boldly was Uncle. His serious expression didn’t match his polite voice.

The Strategist who had been reporting to me quietly stepped back.

“It’s an urgent matter.”

Little Uncle gestured to the warriors inside the barracks. When I nodded at them, they all went outside.

Only Dad and Little Uncle, who were guarding me, remained in the barracks.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s intelligence. About half of the Special Forces personnel have disappeared.”

“…Really?”

Little Uncle frowned.

“Why are you so calm? Half of those guys have disappeared.”

“They’re probably targeting me again. With that many people, it means they’re determined to move even at the risk of their plan being discovered.”

“Even knowing that…”

“No, I just found out a little earlier.”

I rummaged through the desk and pulled out a piece of paper.

It was Sylvester’s note that I had already shown to Dad and kept to show Uncle as well.

It had just arrived this morning. It contained information about the operation the Special Forces would carry out.

“I roughly know what they’re planning to do. The problem is where those missing guys went.”

I turned my head.

“Dad.”

“I roughly guessed their location.”

As Dad spoke, a thread wind blew. I nodded.

“As you can see, we’ve roughly narrowed down where the missing Special Forces went. The problem is we lost track of a specific unit within the Special Forces that we were keeping an eye on.”

There was a wind mage in the Special Forces that even Dad acknowledged as decent. That guy belonged to this unit whose whereabouts were unknown.

Dad wrinkled his brow, seemingly displeased. It wasn’t Dad’s fault that we lost track of them.

‘Dad is already monitoring too many things.’

Not only that. He was also handling the most difficult task of guarding me.

Since the Imperial Palace was targeting only me with full force.

‘If only there was one more wind mage.’

Or it would have been good if Uncle was here with us.

Or…</

I thought of another wind mage besides Dad.

The child I saved long ago, someone like family to Jeok Yunha, and the son of the legendary ginseng digger Uncle Undeok.

Tak Minjae.

That kid, who became an adult around the same time as Raon, had become an excellent wind mage and warrior. He was currently staying at the Hei Family Estate.

Because he was protecting Ayan together with Brother Gyewon.

‘We needed someone who could send news by wind first if something happened to Ayan.’

We couldn’t neglect protecting Ayan.

The former Family Head, Grandmother, was there too, but she had almost no ability to communicate through wind.

I shook off my regret.

“Uncle, don’t go outside anymore and stay here to guard me.”

In my opinion, there probably wouldn’t be any more attacks.

‘The dawn attack today was quite unusual.’

If there had been a sense of leisure somewhere before, yesterday he felt filled with malice, even venomous intent.

Moreover….

“What are you going to do with that corpse? The one from this dawn.”

Little Uncle interrupted my thoughts and spoke to me. I raised my gaze.

Both Dad and Little Uncle were looking at me with serious expressions. Second Uncle asked again.

“You secured it, right?”

“Yeah. But as expected, what came out yesterday….”

Thinking there would be a gap at dawn when the sun was rising, there was a fierce attack.

The attack ended in failure, and like before, there was a death….

The problem was this corpse. Unlike other times, a major ‘evidence’ was discovered here.

‘Does he know?’

I met Dad’s gaze. Dad nodded slightly.

“It seems we’re not the only ones who hold a grudge against the Crown Prince.”

It wasn’t strange at all, but it was also amusing.

“Seeing that even in the Special Forces there’s a dog baring its teeth at its master.”

I tapped the desk lightly. A small wind blew as if tickling me.

“Keep what came from the corpse safe.”

* * *

Another failure.

“…It failed.”

The Crown Prince ground his teeth. Before initiating the ‘final operation’ he intended to carry out even if it meant sacrificing soldiers.

He wanted to deal a blow to that detestable woman. However, at the news of another failure, the Crown Prince burst into bitter laughter while raging.

‘Have I only raised such bastards?’

He couldn’t believe it.

Originally, the Hei Family had only become famous for treatment and physician skills, not for being a place of strong martial power.

No, he had believed that to be true.

But setting aside the average abilities of the warriors… what exactly were those monster-like guys around that woman?

Hei Bihu, who should have died according to fate, and Hei Birang, who never got injured since Ayan’s hardships disappeared, had become threatening existences to the Imperial Family.

The Crown Prince, who had no way of knowing this, ground his teeth.

‘As expected, this is the only way.’

He decided to use the last resort, but even for him, it wasn’t without risk.

Of course, there was no burden in using those vermin for himself.

It was because he worried that his own body might get hurt by any chance.

However, since even this attack had failed, he had no choice but to acknowledge it.

‘That detestable face will finally meet its end.’

It was the moment the Crown Prince smiled sinisterly.

“Your Highness!”

A Knight called to him from in front of the barracks. And the Knight who entered brought surprising news.

“…Is what you’re saying really true?”

“Yes…! The messenger from the Hei Family definitely conveyed it like this!”

Truly unexpected news.

“…He said he would show me what I want?”
