The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 52
Only Ran(o)vel dot com
From the moment I entered the office, I felt uneasy because the atmosphere was ominous.
As I was looking at the crown prince’s cold, frozen face in bewilderment, he sighed and said.
“After my mother applied the medicine and examined me, the affected area only calmed down, but it did not have the expected therapeutic effect.”
“That can’t be… … .”
As a result, I was very disappointed because it meant that the development of a cure had failed.
But the person who was more disappointed and desperate than me was the crown prince.
“I don’t know where it went wrong. No, it’s probably just my lack of ability… … .”
He washed his face dry after spouting out a remark that was unexpectedly low in self-esteem.
“I’m sorry, but I need to rest today. Young-ae, you can just go back.”
“majesty…….”
The crown prince, who staggered to his feet and rested his head on his forehead, was the first to leave the office.
I couldn’t move easily and just stood there blankly.
If I give up like this, I’ll be kicked out of the capital for half a year. Sob, sob.
‘No, I have to do something about it… …!’
I boldly searched through the crown prince’s desk. I found the forbidden book I had seen earlier in the bottom drawer.
Between the books, there was a piece of paper on which the crown prince seemed to have copied the recipe for a remedy.
‘What on earth is wrong?’
I placed the banned book and the paper side by side and compared their contents.
[Among the curses of the great devil Ludwald is the ‘skin rotting disease’.
To cure this, you must make a medicine by mixing calendula that grows only at dawn, golden lavender that blooms once every three years, a hundred-year-old tea tree leaf, and red aloe that grows in the Shimak of the Aloe Kingdom.
There are a few typos in the original text.
Hmm, anyway, it seems like I wrote down all the ingredients properly without leaving anything out?
I circled each material on paper and wrote, “Work completed.”
Even.
[When the medicine is perfectly mixed, it condenses into a blue-tinged ointment.]
The medicine the crown prince left behind also had a blue tint, just like in the book.
So then what is the problem?
“Euuuuuum. I don’t know right now… … .”
After much thought, I left a note and took the forbidden book with me.
I’ll just borrow it for a moment, Your Majesty.
And then I returned to the duke’s residence and slowly read the forbidden book from the beginning.
‘There are quite a few unintelligible characters. Is this encrypted?’
In fact, it was at a level where I had to skip over almost half of it without understanding it.
However, the part about treatment is made up of normal sentences.
I was frustrated because I couldn’t get anything out of it even though I finished it with great difficulty.
I held my head in pain for a moment, then quickly raised my head and went back to the first page of the forbidden book.
‘I originally told you to read and read again until you understand something.’
Anyway, the answer will be in here, so I’ll read it until I find it.
The next morning.
“Good night, Miss… … Gyaaaaak?!”
Mandy, who came to say hello as usual, screamed when she saw my face.
I waved at her in astonishment with a gentle smile.
“Did you sleep well, Mandy?”
“Yes, four… … Ah, ah, didn’t you sleep well yesterday, Miss… … ?”
He smiled silently.
In fact, it was because I couldn’t even sleep a wink and dug deep into the forbidden books all night long.
But thanks to that, I finally found the answer I was looking for.
“Hehehe.”
“Miss… … Your eyes are so bloodshot. The corners of your mouth are twitching, so you seem very tired. You should lie down quickly… … .”
Mandy spoke worriedly to me as I smiled proudly.
But I firmly refused, because I didn’t have time to just lie down and sleep right now.
“Get ready to go out, Mandy. I have somewhere urgent to go.”
“Uh… … Yes, I understand.”
He went outside wearing a wide-brimmed hat to hide his sunken face.
The destination is the central market.
I walked around the market, which was not crowded in the morning, and looked for what I wanted.
‘Here it is!’
I found it in a small, ordinary herbal medicine shop and bought a whole bag.
Then he headed straight to the imperial palace.
“Charophé Youngae? What brings you here at this hour… … .”
The crown prince suddenly looked at me in confusion, then stopped when our eyes met.
Perhaps it was because I sensed madness in the red-tinted eyes.
He strode towards him, handed him the forbidden book, and declared:
“I have figured out why Your Majesty failed.”
“… … What? What does that mean?”

I spoke to him, who looked bewildered, while spreading out the forbidden book.
“There’s an encrypted phrase written on every chapter, but strangely enough, there’s not a single part about a cure.”
“Yeah, with that one exception… .”
“No, it was no exception.”
He explained calmly, pointing to specific sentences with his finger.
“If you look at the book as a whole, the author is a very good speller. But here, he misspells even basic words.”
As I read it repeatedly, that mistake became particularly noticeable.
‘Dawn dew’ to ‘Dawn isil’.
‘Blooming’ to ‘Pearling’.
I counted in puzzlement and found that I had written a total of seven letters incorrectly.
As a result of focusing on it, I was able to discover the hidden sentence.
“If you combine the wrong words, it will sound like this. If it fails, add glue.”
He gave the herb he bought at the market to the crown prince.
“… … !”
The crown prince accepted the bag of medicine with a surprised expression on his face.
“Please try making another potion with some herbal medicine, Your Majesty. Then I will close my eyes for a moment, as I am very tired.”
Before I could even hear his answer, I collapsed on the sofa in his office.
It was the aftereffect of holding back from being so sleepy in the middle of the night by poking myself in the thigh.
“Charophet Youngae… … to the room… … .”
The crown prince seemed to have said something, but he fell asleep as soon as he laid his head on the sofa, so he couldn’t hear it clearly.
And when I opened my eyes, it was afternoon and the sun was high in the sky.
I stretched lazily, rubbing my face against the soft, fluffy blanket… … .
‘Wait a minute, a soft and fluffy blanket?’
I woke up to the realization that I was lying on a large bed instead of being asleep on the sofa.
What the heck, where am I now?!
“Are you awake?”
At that moment, a familiar voice was heard from the side. I turned my head and saw the crown prince sitting on the chair next to the bed with his legs crossed.
“Your Majesty, this is… … .”
“This is my room. I couldn’t let Young-ae sleep on the sofa, so I brought her here.”
“yes……?”
No, so are you saying that I slept in the crown prince’s bed without knowing anything about the world?
The crown prince spoke to me with a faint smile as I was confused, wondering if that was okay.
“I made the medicine again by adding the herb as Youngae said.”
“Oh my god, really?”
“Okay, now all I have to do is take it to my mother.”
He took out a new ointment from his bosom and showed it to me. It had a much stronger blue tint than before.
“Then I will go and come back, so Young-ae, please continue resting here.”
“Okay, take care on your way back!”
I waved my hand and saw the crown prince off. He also came out with a rare bright face.
Left alone in the large room, I felt relieved, as if I had a good feeling that I would succeed in my mission.
Now I won’t be kicked out of the capital, right?
But life doesn’t always go as planned.
The crown prince, who returned after a long time, delivered shocking news with a distorted face.
“My mother refused to take the medicine.”
“Your Majesty the Empress? Why… … .”
“He said that since he had already given up, it was time for me to give up too.”
He continued speaking softly, his head ruffled as if he was frustrated.
“I tried to persuade him, but it was no use. He seemed determined.”
The crown prince, who had been laughing hollowly, soon sighed and looked at me.
“I feel sorry for Young-ae too. I made her suffer needlessly.”
“No, Your Majesty. Absolutely not.”
He waved his hand in denial, then asked cautiously.
“What are you going to do from now on…?”
“You must respect your mother’s wishes.”
He looked quite hurt and pushed the bottle away with a serious expression.
“Could you please dispose of it on your way?”
“Oh, yes.”
It seemed like he needed some time alone, so I took my medicine and quietly left the crown prince’s room.
I walked down the empty hallway and looked down at the bottle full of ointment.
I can’t really dispose of this.
‘… … Should I try to persuade Her Majesty the Empress myself?’
Come to think of it, I hadn’t heard the mission condition, ‘It’s all thanks to you’, from the crown prince yet.
If I could solve this, I would have heard such words.
‘We have to move quickly, since there are only three days left until the mission ends.’
At that moment, she asked a maid who happened to be passing by and headed towards the Empress’s Palace.
To a place that is elegant and old-fashioned, yet somehow has a lonely atmosphere.
