nThe Golden Wall Clan’s manager looked at the doctor with surprise.
nHow can you not be surprised?
n“You want to stay in the Golden Wall residence?”
nThe doctor corrected the comment.
n“I want to work for Prince Taesan.”
nThe manager thought it had the same meaning. Anyway, Taesan was the person in charge of the Golden Wall Clan and the Golden Wall residence.
nIn other words, working for Taesan meant working for the Golden Wall clan.
nAt least, that was the manager’s understanding.
n“I welcome you. You made a wise choice. The Golden Wall clan is not well known to everyone, but it is way stronger than other clans. We will treat you with good respect.”
nThe doctor moved his head.
n“The Prince will treat me based on his judgment.”
nThe doctor’s comment made the manager wake up to reality. He was making a fine line right now.
nThe manager stepped aside.
n“Ah, I see what you mean. He made a decision due to the people working under him.”
n“Well…something like that… Actually, it will take a long time to cure the Prince. It won’t be enough after one or two months… I need to put forth all of my abilities for at least a few years.”
n“I really thank you for putting so much effort to care for the Prince. Anyway, I will compensate you for your hard work. It’s something you don’t have to feel burdened about. It was a planned budget so you can just accept it.”
nThe manager spoke with a happy voice.
nActually, Taesan owned the Golden Wall clan, so what was the point of making a fine line?
n“Anyway, I will meet you shortly. Is it okay for you to stay here?”
n“Yes.”
n“Ah…. I see. You are going to focus on all your abilities… I want to thank you again.”
n“You are welcome.”
nOf course, the doctor had different intentions while replying.
nNow, the doctor can’t be separated from Taesan. It was not fine to stay but he had to stay.
nThe manager politely bowed and left, then the doctor sighed as if it were the end of the world.
nWhat screwed his life.
n‘Due to 100 gold……!’
nIt wasn’t just 100 gold.
nStill, he didn’t have any choice. Since he was out of funds, how could he say no to 100 gold?
nHe also didn’t consider the work to be serious.
nWho would think to meet such a scary person here?
n‘Anyway, what is his existence? He didn’t seem like an ordinary prince……’
nThe doctor turned pale after recalling the meeting with Taesan.
nJust thinking of Taesan scared the doctor.
n“My Prince, will it be really okay?”
n“What is?”
n“I mean, the doctor.”
nGyeongwan seemed nervous.
nGyeongwan put restrictions on the twelve doctors brought by the doctor.
nHe followed Taesan’s orders but he couldn’t understand the situation.
nAlso, how could he understand twelve doctors cooperating given that there was a restriction?
nIt was something he couldn’t understand with his common sense.
n‘Anyway, I never used common sense ever since I started serving Prince.’
nTaesan spoke to Gyeongwan who was in a dilemma.
n“Why? The doctor is excluded?”
n“No, I mean will it be okay? It can be a problem in the future if you exclude the doctor.”
nTaesan laughed.
n“So, you are telling me this: if you are going to do it, do it properly?”
n“No, I meant……”
nGyeongwan wanted to give an excuse but he sealed his lips. When you thought about it, Taesan was correct.
nIn the past, putting restrictions on doctors would lead to a complaint.
nHowever, now Gyeongwan was naturally worried about someone without restriction.
n“I did it myself, so there’s no need to worry.”
n“Sorry? You did?”
n“You can’t do it.”
nThe doctor could control his own body. The twisting blood path was really easy for the doctor.
nAlso, it was impossible to disguise the blood path.
nThat’s why with Gyeongwan’s ability, it was impossible to put a restriction on the doctor.
n“Then why did you let me put restrictions on other people……”
nIf it were possible, it would be way safer for Taesan to put restrictions.
n“I’m still a patient. Do you know how difficult it is to use my power even once?”
nThen, Gyeongwan slightly put his head down as if he understood.
n‘I’m constantly forgetting that the Prince is sick.’
nGyeongwan had no choice as Taesan didn’t appear sick.
nTaesan laughed.
n“Since you know, it’s good that I don’t have to explain things.”
nThe doctor soon realized which restrictions were applied to his body as he was an outstanding doctor.
nAlso, the doctor was in despair as he knew that he couldn’t undo the restriction.
nLastly, the doctor was confused as he couldn’t understand how Taesan knew about the restriction method.
n“Still…. He will cure you so wouldn’t it better to be considerate towards him? What if he has malicious intent……”
n“The symptoms will be cured when I visit the brothel. His task is not to cure me.”
nHonestly, Gyeongwan was a bit confused but he accepted Taesan’s comments.
n“Still, why did you make him stay?”
n“For a few reasons.”
nThe excuse for when Taesan was healed would be one of the reasons why Taesan made the doctor stay.
nAs Taesan spoke to the people who worked for him such as Gyeongwan, Soso, or Danyoung; he couldn’t say that he was getting cured by going to the brothel.
nAlso, 80% were the 12 doctors who worked with the doctor from God.
n“They aren’t ordinary doctors.”
nGyeongwan doubtfully looked at Taesan.
nThe owner of the Golden Wall Clan, Taesoo’s wife, Chae, was a daughter from a small clan in Muhan.
nShe adored the Golden Wall Clan since she was young. Then, the Golden Wall Clan became her goal in life.
nShe knew she couldn’t become the owner of the Golden Wall Clan so she became the wife.
nHowever, that couldn’t do anything good for her.
nShe didn’t have any influence on the Golden Wall Clan.
nIn order to have full control over the Golden Wall Clan, she needed to become the master or have control of the owner.
nChae chose her son. The son, Byeok, would become the owner and she believed that she could control her son.
nSuch progress went by smoothly.
nIf there was no news, she would’ve received it today.
n“The doctor will stay at the Golden Wall residence? Can he really fix Taesan’s symptoms?”
n“Yes, but it will take some time. It is not sure if the Prince’s body can handle the cure.”
nChae bit her lips.
n“The doctor doesn’t stay in one place for a long time. Will he do the same?”
n“Well… the doctor decided to work for the 2nd prince.”
nChae’s eyes became big.
n“What do you mean? Serving who? The doctor working for Taesan?”
n“Yes. The doctor has unpacked his things.”
nChae lifted her hands.
n“Hold on. I can’t understand. So… The doctor became part of the Golden Wall Clan? That doctor?”
n“He did make a clear line saying that he is working for the 2nd prince instead of the clan… Isn’t it the same? Yes, he is in our clan.”
n“No way…..!”
n“Recently, things are going funny with the 2nd prince.”
nChae looked at Cheonil who was reporting to her.
n“Are you going to do a sloppy job? How can you dominate headquarters in the future?”
n“I’m sorry. However, this was exceptional so nobody is getting a grip.”
n“I told you at first that you needed to watch Gyeongwan when he began working for Taesan. You left it alone to see what happens?”
nCheonil still had something to say.
nIt had only been a few days since Gyeongwan became Taesan’s loyal man.
nHowever, how much could one prepare in a few days?
nRecently, things around Taesan were going really fast so there was no space to engage.
n“Anyway, please handle it by being responsible. I won’t let my son become the owner of this clan.”
n“I understand.”
nAs Cheonil left, Chae calmed herself by taking a deep breath.
nActually, Taesan was annoying but she tried to not pay attention to him.
nThat’s because Taesan was close to death.
n“I should have prevented the doctor from coming since the beginning.”
nChae regretted not being stubborn about it.
nShe had absolutely no right to voice her thoughts inside the Clan. She was restricted from engaging in clan management.
nHowever, it wasn’t that she had no influence at all.
nShe produced an outcome by persuading and involving people inside the clan in her own ways.
nHowever, she wasn’t actively engaged in inviting the doctor.
nThat’s because her husband strongly wanted it.
nShe didn’t want to have a bad relationship with her husband due to a minor issue.
nYet, the result turned out such a way, so why wouldn’t she regret it?
n“Yes… I should have been more active.”
nChae bit her lips once more and whispered quietly.
n“Is the doctor going as well?”
nGyeongwan’s question made the doctor nod his head naturally.
n“I have an obligation to take care of the prince. If I don’t follow, who else will?”
nGyeongwan didn’t say anymore. It didn’t matter if the doctor followed anyway. It was fine only if Taesan gave permission.
nThat was why Gyeongwan looked at Taesan.
nTaesan didn’t care and walked slowly towards the brothel.
nAt that moment, Yoo asked as if she was waiting for it.
n“However, sick people like the Prince can go to the brothel every day? He spends the entire night there……”
nThe doctor widened his eyes.
n“He spends the night?”
nYoo continued the story with excitement.
n“Yes. He stays up all night without sleeping. So… Well… It’s bad anyway right?”
nThe doctor’s attention went to Taesan.
nHe slightly approached Taesan.
nThen, he asked, “What’s the secret?”
nTaesan looked at the doctor with confusion.
n“Honestly, isn’t it better to help each other? Well… I haven’t made a proper measurement for your heartbeat. How is it? Can I take a look? I do have great skills. I can do it while walking so please give me your hand.”
n“You speak too much.”
n“Did you think like that? Actually, I don’t talk a lot but I try many ways to make patients calm so I became an eloquent speaker. If I talk to anyone, they will naturally start sharing their stories. Of course, I talk more, but aren’t they good pieces of advice?”
nTaesan raised his hands towards the doctor’s lips all of sudden.
nThe doctor closed his mouth with surprise. He had no time to dodge even if he moved his head.
nHe was sweating.
nIf this was an attack and he had a knife on hand; the doctor’s lips would be ripped apart.
nIt was an attack that perfectly aimed for the gap while breathing.
n“What are you doing? You said you will measure the heartbeat.”
n“Ah…! Heartbeat! Yes. I need to measure the heartbeat. Hahahaha. Please excuse me.”
nThe doctor forcefully laughed and gently grabbed Taesan’s wrist.
nHe started using the motions to observe him.
nAlthough the measuring began while walking, the doctor could check Taesan’s body condition.
nThe measurement continued on the way towards the brothel and the doctor had his doubts.
n“It’s strange. No way.”
nThe doctor looked at Taesan with doubts. He let the wrist go.
nThe doctor examined every part of the body to the extent that he didn’t need to measure anymore.
nSince Taesan had a low heart rate, the doctor checked the heartbeat in detail.
n“Why? Is the examination result strange?”
nThe doctor cautiously spoke.
n“Mmm…. My Prince.”
n“Speak.”
n“Are you really alive?”
nThere was a chilling silence.
n
