Chapter 979 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (37)
The prince had been thinking negatively about the therapists, and as a result, he was denying them without trusting them.
But when he listened to them for himself, he realized that he was in vague denial even though he knew nothing about them.
He was ashamed of being the crown prince, so he wanted to hide it, but he suppressed his shame and confessed his honest feelings.
“In fact, until now, it was difficult to understand the meaning of Obama to raise you guys.
“I know that everyone thinks so. Actually, we are grateful for His Majesty’s grace, but we aren’t sure if we can grow enough to compare ourselves with the priests.”
“But now I think I know. That Obama was right. I’ve had a lot of misunderstandings about therapists.”
He regrets that he had never wanted to know about the therapists, but was only against it because he did not understand the meaning of Obama.
At the very least, if you were going to object, you should have found out what therapists are capable of and why they are trying to push them.
“Tae, Crown Prince low.”
The healers were frightened by the words of the prince and were restless, not knowing what to do. Eventually, they knelt on the floor and bowed their heads.
Because the best I could do in a frightened situation was to bow my head in front of a person in power.
“Rise up. It was me who was at fault, but I don’t know why you guys are begging.”
“I think I was too rude to the Crown Prince…”
“It wasn’t rude. I couldn’t stand the unfair feeling and explained it while crying. How could that be rude?”
Rather, it was something the Crown Prince had to apologize for.
But he decided not to say it directly because he felt the therapist would cry if he received a real apology.
“Is it true that if you do something called rehabilitation, you will be able to walk around like before without any aftereffects?”
“Yes…Of course, it will depend on how hard you rehab, but since you have such strong muscles, it is expected that you will recover quickly.”
“Please take care of me.”
The interviews with the therapists ended in such a heartwarming way.
After checking the condition of the escort driver and the condition of Abamama once, the prince returned to the tent where he was staying, unable to hide his exhaustion, and lay down on the bed and sighed deeply.
“Ha…”
Carrying a heavy load all day was not an easy task.
Furthermore, the nobles were extremely reluctant to let the crown prince go to the battlefield.
Even in the midst of chaos, various incidents and accidents have occurred, and the day passes quickly when you look around to solve them.
‘It’s hard.’
In a situation where he even lost the person he could turn to for advice, the prince had to become an adult a bit prematurely.
I couldn’t show weakness in front of the nobles.
I am clumsily copying what I saw while following Obama, but I don’t know if he is doing well.
Fortunately, the nobles listened to him and followed him obediently.
‘It would have been impossible if Obama hadn’t suppressed them personally.’
The reason why nobles don’t think of anything else is probably because Obama is asleep.
He still lacks a lot.
What if it was Obama? I don’t know how many times a day she thinks she does.
He didn’t know anything when he was young and dreamed of becoming a greater emperor than Obama.
‘It’s so hard to follow Obama…’
A great emperor beyond Obama?
First of all, it is important to follow him.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he wasn’t sure if he would ever grow up to stand next to him.
Didn’t you witness with your own two eyes what an amazing person Obama is?
“I’ll stop thinking about it and go to sleep.”
If you want to go to war again tomorrow, you have to sleep to recover your stamina.
In a situation where the enemy is aiming at him, he has no intention of increasing the damage by overdoing it.
However, it also did not make sense to withdraw from the war altogether to ensure safety.
‘Because it doesn’t explain why Obama doesn’t appear.’
The reason he shows his face in the war is also to hide the fact that something happened to Obama.
So he couldn’t just hide because he was scared.
Showing your face on the battlefield was something you had to do, even if it meant taking a certain risk.

Rustle rustle
It was a very small sign.
A very small noise caused by a blade of grass brushing against something.
It could have been a sound made by an animal, or it could have been a sound made by the passing of the wind.
However, an inexplicable instinctive sensation woke him up.
“Ummm…”
However, the prince, who was awakened by his instinctive senses, could not come to his senses right away.
My body was heavy with fatigue, so it was hard to move, and I couldn’t even put my strength into it.
In addition, even though the prince woke up, he was not aware that it was a situation where his life was threatened.
“?”
The prince confirmed that he had woken up early in the morning, and yawned and rubbed his eyes.
Just in time, he was thirsty, so he poured water from a nearby water bottle into his glass.
Shivering-
The prince, who was almost half asleep, raised his glass to drink water.
..Kii…Ik-
Gulp!
Had he swallowed a sip of water?
The prince suddenly threw the glass of water into the sky and took out the dagger he had put under his pillow.
At the same time, he rolled over and got out of bed very quickly.
Pooh!!
The moment the prince got out of bed, something came down from the ceiling at the same time and the sword was lodged in the spot where he was lying.
If he had avoided it a little too late, the sword embedded in the bed would have pierced his heart.
It was a spine-chilling sight.
“Tch! You’re quick.”
“It’s an assassin!!!!!!”
The prince quickly swung the assassin’s back with a dagger, but the attack couldn’t come through due to the short reach.
With a loud voice, the prince announced the appearance of an assassin outside.
But unlike I thought, there was no sound from outside.
“It’s useless. Crown Prince. Stop dying now!”
The assassin pulled out the sword stuck in the bed and swung it toward the prince’s heart.
Chew!
The unusual movement was sneaky and swift.
Chaeeng!!
“Kuk!”
The prince managed to catch the assassin’s sword with his dagger.
However, due to the unusual skill of an assassin, the prince was repeatedly pushed back, and the small accommodation was not a suitable space to avoid the assassin’s sword.
Cudangtang!!!
Bang!
It was the moment when I had to do something to live, so I knocked down objects in the room so that the assassin could not move easily.
With Chaeng!
Thud!
“You’re as fast as a rat! It’s no use!”
Spaw!
“Ugh!”
Finally, the assassin’s sword slashed the prince’s left arm.
Blood dripped onto the floor, and a burning pain came over me.
What the crown prince could do in this situation was to go outside and call allies rather than continuing to deal with the assassins.
‘The workmanship is unusual!’
Emotions he had felt before came to the prince.
He was ‘fear’ and ‘horror’ that he might die.
‘I could die.’
If there was one thing that the prince realized through this incident, it was that even though he had been praised countless times for his excellent swordsmanship skills, in the end, that standard was the evaluation he could receive when compared to his peers.
‘I’m at a disadvantage if I fight with someone much older than me.’
Among those who have lived much longer than they are, there are people who are more talented than they are.
Even though the prince was young, he was too young to overwhelm them.
He had only crossed swords once, but even this assassin was a tough foe to deal with compared to his own skills.
So, the best way was to call in allies and block the assassins.
“No way!”
The assassin’s sword was sharp and sharp enough to frighten the prince.
The prince is in a situation where he is already physically and mentally exhausted from the burdens he has received from various places.
The body that was injured in the raid a few days ago has not yet recovered.
‘I shouldn’t have been treated by the priests..!’
However, the subjects who threatened the priest to use his abilities were patients who were in a life-or-death situation.
Under normal circumstances, he should have taken care of the prince’s body first, but he himself refused the priest’s treatment and ended up being treated by a healer.
I can’t imagine that it would cause problems like this.
“Shit!”
Thud!
The assassin was a seasoned hunter.
In addition, the assassin must have poisoned the sword, and his body stopped listening at some point.
Stumble!
The assassin did not miss that moment.
The assassin’s sword was fired to pierce the neck of the prince, and the prince went back to when he first learned the sword and closed his eyes tightly.
Chow ah-!!
Blood dripping down
The prince thought his own blood splattered and dripped onto his face.
He fell to the floor thinking that death could be so futile.
However, unlike the prince’s thoughts, the reality was a little different.
“Cheuk! Cool!”
“How dare you…Don’t even know the subject and try to kill my son?”
It wasn’t the prince who spewed blood.
It was the blood of an assassin who hid to kill the prince.
The emperor twisted the sword that pierced the assassin’s body.
“Quaaaaagh!!!”
Quadduk-!
As the sword twisted, it made the wound in his stomach bigger.
Patter Patter-
“Without even asking, he must have been sent from the Geos Empire.”
The emperor gripped the assassin’s neck and lifted it up with one hand.
And threw the body of the assassin out of the tent.
With Chaeng!
At the same time, the magic surrounding the prince’s tent was broken.
Before the assassin entered this place, he secretly activated magic to block the sound leaking out of this place.
The emperor did not follow the assassin he threw away.
It was because on the other side of the hand that had thrown the assassin, the prince, who had been caught just before collapsing to the ground, was hanging from the emperor with his body stretched out.
“Prince. Baby!!”
The emperor was worried about the prince, who could not come to his senses even while pouring out his anger on the assassin.
“What the hell happened while you were away for a while?”
Not the emperor, but Jin Hae-sol’s angry voice echoed through the tent.
I thought it would hold up well for a few days and waited for the time to pass slowly, but when I came back, the fire was burning and burning all the household items.
It was an emergency.
