The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 222

It all started with the note that Shaman gave me.

‘What is this?’

‘These are things the Imperial Palace is secretly collecting.’

The things written on the note.

Various chemical substances written in a jumbled manner and medicinal herbs to make them blend well together. Since I had been to the battlefield countless times in the 3rd round, I could roughly recognize them.

I secretly showed it to an expert from the family estate and became certain.

That these were ingredients for explosives.

Shaman’s information was verified through my conversation with Sylvester.

‘The Imperial Palace has been secretly collecting these things, right? I heard they’ve been buying them over several years.’

‘Yes, now that I see it this way, I understand. Probably… what you’re guessing is correct, Family Head.’

I had known that the Imperial Palace was suspicious since 5 years ago.

The Eight Families were falling one by one, but it was strange that the Imperial Palace, which could be called their leader, wasn’t doing anything.

Those guys had been preparing for war for a long time. Moreover, they weren’t planning to just make their opponents surrender.

‘Were they planning to… erase our territory from the map?’

The fate of people whose homeland disappeared was obvious without even looking. What the Imperial Palace wanted was only the Hei Family’s abilities and physicians.

Were they planning to make those who lost their homeland into prisoners, into slaves? It seemed far-fetched, but considering the Crown Prince’s nature, it wasn’t strange at all.

In the 3rd round, before offering the immortality elixir to him, I had seen enough physicians living like slaves while staying at the Imperial Palace.

He truly was an unchanging person.

From the beginning, this conference was no different from taking an exam knowing the answers. While assuming that explosives existed and looking for places where they could be buried or hidden.

I monitored the most dangerous Special Forces.

This was the result.

“Unfortunately, it seems we’ve also discovered where those explosives are buried. How regrettable.”

I smiled elegantly while looking at the Crown Prince, who was tied with rope and no different from a pitiful beast.

“You, you…!!”

To him, it would look like mockery. I welcomed that.

Looking at him forced to kneel, I remembered the end of the 3rd round.

It was the complete opposite position from then.

I had looked at him so desperately while kneeling. Saying I would offer this, so please let me see the Imperial Palace’s treasure.

The corners of my mouth rose even more brightly. His eyes were now so wide that blood vessels had burst.

“Don’t lie! Do you think I’ll fall for such blatant lies! Damn it! Untie me right now!! I am the Crown Prince! The noble future Emperor of the Empire!!”

“Ah, yes, yes. Well, that’s…”

I glanced to the side.

He said he had no intention of killing me. But I can’t be certain that those around me share the same sentiment.

“What if you don’t make it out of here alive?”

He shut his mouth. His lips gaped open and closed as if shock had struck him.

“How, how dare you…”

“No, I don’t really intend to kill you.”

I casually covered my mouth.

“Didn’t you promise? That whoever attacked me would be tried and you’d give me the authority to punish them…”

“…!!”

Realizing he was cornered, the Crown Prince looked at me as if he wanted to kill me right then and there, but what could he do about it?

“The Imperial Family has immunity from arrest, don’t you even know that!”

“Oh my, you’re not denying the crime? Well, with the Special Forces caught, making excuses would be pointless anyway.”

Anyone with a brain could figure that out.

“And you know, I know thousands of methods that are as agonizing as death without actually killing, Your Highness.”

Our eyes met. His unbroken venom even in this situation was almost praiseworthy. That’s probably how he managed to sit on a throne built from others’ blood and tears.

I wondered if perhaps the Emperor’s inability to wake up might be this bastard’s fault.

“Being an excellent physician also means knowing… tens of thousands of ways disease can kill a human. Mimicking them isn’t difficult either.”

The moment my finger touched his forehead with a light tap, he flinched in shock. As if an acupuncture needle had touched him.

It was amusing.

A human so sensitive to your own pain…

“By now, those guys guarding the buried explosives would have been captured, and the explosives are probably being confiscated.”

Fortunately, our family has many Water Mages. They’re practically experts at safely transporting explosives.

“The only people who could save you now are other Imperial Family members… but unfortunately, they can’t open their eyes from their sickbed, can they?”

“Are you… insulting the Imperial Family?!”

“Who was the one doing the insulting?”

Acting like you were trying to tarnish our family with false accusations. The smile disappeared from my face.

He looked at my face carefully, then suddenly burst into laughter.

“Keh, kehkeh, keh, kahahahahaha!”

…Has he lost his mind?

He was always an arrogant bastard, so it wouldn’t be strange. But it would be troublesome if he went insane gracefully.

I straightened my back that I had bent to meet his eyes.

I was done talking. Those subordinates who saw the Crown Prince getting captured wouldn’t be able to do anything about it either.

The Imperial Family’s camp would be in chaos.

“…Ha, I acknowledge it.”

A sinister voice came from behind me.

I turned my head.

“I dared to let my guard down. I should have known that even a moron and vermin like you would squirm… Keh, keh. How utterly ridiculous.”

“…Good grief. You only have your mouth left.”

I lost interest.

“Do you think you’ll be safe after treating me like this?”

“Isn’t that what you said earlier? How boring. If Your Highness disappears here, who would even know?”

I chuckled softly.

“You have been defeated.”

At those words like a verdict, the Crown Prince opened his mouth like someone struck by lightning. As if he had been forced to internalize what he couldn’t accept even while struggling desperately until the very end.

He soon let out a hollow breath.

At the same time, he smiled bitterly.

“Kekeke, kek, kahahahahaha!! Ahahahahahaha!”

The madman’s laughter abruptly stopped.

The eyes he finally raised were truly the gaze of someone who had lost their mind.

The reason I didn’t think it was dangerous was because I thought I knew him well.

However, this was a misjudgment.

“Yes, kek, if everything is going to end anyway…”

I realized too late that I had made assumptions without having seen him cornered to the very last moment in the third round.

It was a mistake.

“Everyone just die!!!”

And the price of that mistake was severe.

“Family Head!!”

“Hey, Hei Biyu!!!”

I heard familiar voices, and immediately after.

Kwaaaaang!

A tremendous noise covered the surroundings. It was a massive explosion.

Something warm covered my ears. As if protecting my ears.

– No!!!

At the same time, a large body temperature enveloped me. I blinked my eyes within that warm and familiar body temperature.

My back hurt.

What I saw when I opened my eyes was…

“…Dad?”

The last thing I saw was definitely an explosion. It wasn’t very large, but it was the worst killing weapon that could easily kill someone nearby…

I slowly opened my mouth.

Someone was holding me in their arms. It seemed like one person, but I could see clearly.

There were two people holding me. One was a ghost…

My lips trembled.

“Mother, Dad…”
