The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Epilogue 1
* * *
“But, Raon.”
That evening. The family home was turned completely upside down. It was because I had suddenly declared a preliminary engagement with Raon.
– Oh my, an engagement? Really? That’s so wonderful.
Mother giggled with delight, while Dad looked like he had fainted with his eyes open.
I shook my head as I watched water pillars shooting up in the yard and lightning striking. It was because Uncle and Little Uncle were going wild while Dad was in shock.
It was ridiculous.
Even Dad was staying quiet, so why were they making more of a fuss!
‘I told you so! That damn fox bastard is going to completely devour our child!’
‘Good grief, how absurd. Whose child is Little Uncle calling her? Ayan will cry.’
‘You’re my firstborn! Ayan will be happy!’
‘Uncle doesn’t even have a daughter, does he? So sad! At least give us advance notice!’
‘…If I give notice?’
‘How about an engagement without a groom?’
‘Rejected.’
It took about two days to persuade them, but fortunately all complaints completely disappeared after hearing about my lifespan and the fox orb.
Of course, their expressions were still full of dissatisfaction.
Surprisingly, after hearing the whole story, Dad pondered deeply. That night he secretly called Raon out and the two of them disappeared somewhere together.
They returned the next morning, but I was shocked because Raon looked completely disheveled.
‘Haha, it’s fine. Better than I expected… well, tolerable.’
I tried to step in, but even Mother stopped me saying it was fine, and since he himself said it was okay, I had no choice but to let it go.
They still haven’t told me what they talked about or what happened between them!
‘I thought Elder Sister would work out well with Brother Raon!’
‘Me too.’
Another surprising thing was that Ayan and Brother Gyewon accepted it more naturally than expected.
I could understand Ayan, but I thought Brother Gyewon would have something to say. He was still a more mature son than his own father.
Anyway, only after all the commotion ended could Raon and I have time alone together.
Only then was I able to ask one thing.
“Sylvester keeps coming to find you, what should we do about him? Isn’t it ridiculous that he’s telling you to become the next Emperor? It’s something that could be done by finding someone from the branch family.”
“Hmm….”
Raon, who I expected would naturally agree with my question, unexpectedly showed a troubled expression.
“Well, it’s not entirely without basis.”
“What?”
I, who had been lying down using Raon’s knee as a pillow at his earnest request, suddenly sat up.
What is he talking about?!
“Actually….”
What Raon told me was this.
After arriving at the Imperial Capital, he had really tried every possible means and method, but while he could get into the treasury, he couldn’t open the safe containing the medicinal materials we needed.
“I don’t know when it was set up, but that safe was configured so that only the Emperor could open it.”
And when he was about to make his third attempt to open the safe, Raon received a secret summons.
It was a summons from the dying Emperor.
That day, Raon faced his father again.
And received what could hardly be called an apology from him.
The Emperor, who lay in bed only occasionally regaining consciousness, unable to do anything, just waiting for the day he would die, harbored tremendous hatred toward the Crown Prince who had put him in this state.
He would give Raon what he wanted.
“…He asked you to become Emperor? And you accepted that?”
“But this was the only way to get it in time.”
Indeed, through this agreement, Raon was able to easily obtain the medicinal materials. And he was able to return and save my life.
If he had been just a little later….
“I can’t even imagine what would have happened.”
Raon hugged me tightly. Feeling his slightly trembling hands, I gently patted him.
“And it’s not like I have to do it for a long, long time.”
“Huh?”
“Like you said, Biyu, there are Imperial Branch Family members. There’s a way to step down without doing it for long.”
Raon smiled at me, and somehow he looked a bit mischievous.
“It’s a request from my father, so there’s no reason I need to fulfill it faithfully, right?”
Then he whispered to me what he was thinking – that in about 3 to 5 years, there would be a way to hand over the throne without problems and without ruining the country.
“If the country becomes a mess, it would affect the Hei Family too.”
“Pfft, what is that….”
Listening to him, I couldn’t help but laugh.
It certainly wasn’t a problem that could be decided easily, but since it happened this way to save my life, and the results were also good.
I had nothing more to say about it.
‘Besides, I was thinking something similar, wasn’t I?’
I slowly nodded my head, thinking of my cute cousin sister who would be perfect for the Family Head position.
“Should we work hard for just a few years and then have fun?”
I’ve lived my whole life working hard, after all.
Before I knew it, a mischievous smile had appeared on my lips as well.
