I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 487



Only Noblemtl

Episode 487 Freedom [2]

The name simply dissipated into the air.

It wasn’t because we were the world’s worst bastards who didn’t know loyalty.

It was too often that our King had complained needlessly about our just treatment.

no…….

Common sense tells you that if a treatment or examination is inconvenient, would that be comfortable?

Even if you go to a hospital in the 21st century, it’s uncomfortable to have to put an endoscope in your nose or ear and do suction.

“Hey, these!”

From the perspective of the person being treated, it may seem like they are still doing this in the 21st century… … .

Surprisingly, that’s what has improved tremendously.

There was a time when it was a challenge to create a steel pillar that was so thin that you could be confident it wouldn’t break inside the structure.

There’s even a fire there and a camera?

Honestly, it was a miracle.

I never knew that the saying, “You don’t realize spring until the flowers have fallen,” would feel so real.

“Oh, please stay still.”

“How can I… … when I have a lump of iron?”

“What a joke… I told you I was going to sleep?”

“Do you think I live without even hearing rumors? I know because I heard that you tortured me alive in front of the police station!”

“Ah, this is the result that was completed. And why on earth would I harm Your Majesty?”

“Eww!”

Just look at me screaming because I have nothing to say.

I don’t mean to say that to a king, but this is really ugly as a dog.

The guards seemed to think so too, as they had no intention of coming closer.

Ah, the captain of the guards was a captain by name, so he was already there.

“As I warned you, your resistance is strong.”

It’s not that I’m trying to tell the king what he wants to hear.

Rather, you might feel like you’re being pickled.

In fact, the king is looking at the general.

Even so, it’s of no use.

Because Liston is polite but definitely in control.

You might be wondering what polite subjugation is… … .

It’s a feeling so it’s hard to explain.

“Eww!”

Kirik.

Anyway, while the king was gaping, Alfred turned the gas valve.

At the same time, gas began to leak out helplessly and seep into His Majesty’s respiratory tract.

This is something that even the President of the United States would have to do, let alone the King of England.

As a human being, you can’t endure it.

Besides, this is not the first time that the King has been put under anesthesia.

“Ugh… … .”

Shoooo.

“Um, um.”

Just like last time, he fell into a deep sleep.

Since it wasn’t a full-blown anesthesia that even included muscle relaxants, there was no need to worry too much about breathing.

Of course, it was not something that could be just left alone.

Whatever it is, he is the king.

‘What… Even if I die now, will it still be a win-win?’

I also have a feeling that Queen Victoria would rule better.

No, it will definitely be like that.

In the first place, there must have been a reason for people to talk about European grandmothers and such.

This could be said because they lived a long life, had many children, and in the 19th century European atmosphere, they moved to different kingdoms and became royalty… … .

While William IV is the first I’ve heard of him here, wasn’t Queen Victoria the one who started the Victorian era?

‘No, but still… … .’

As I was thinking like that, I suddenly came to my senses.

Isn’t this just an attempt to keep the King alive a little longer?

While getting a checkup, they say things like, “It’s a good sign” and “It’s a good sign”…

Me too… … .

I think it’s heavily influenced by the 19th century.

“Watch carefully! Don’t miss your breath!”

“Yes? Ah… … Yes.”

Feeling sorry, he took out his anger on the easygoing Alfred.

And then, the king, who had been calling me a piece of iron… … .

Yeah, it’s a lump of iron.

He took it and stuffed it down the king’s throat.

Since I came here before breakfast on purpose, there was probably at most some water in it.

Actually, there was no need to worry because I had already told the servants in advance.

‘The royal family at this time… are people who can’t do much on their own.’

If you are of noble status, you might think it is unconditionally good, but that is not necessarily the case.

Oh, well… … it may be much better than the 19th century workers, but by 21st century standards, there are some bad aspects.

What should I say… … .

Should I say that the constant nagging became so excessive that it became a bondage?

Although the situation seems to be better than that of the absolute monarchs of the East, it is not easy even here, as William IV shows.

Ji-i-ik.

I tried to insert a piece of metal down my esophagus, but as expected, there was absolutely no food there.

I don’t know about other people, but William IV probably wouldn’t even know where the kitchen was.

I pushed it in all the way.

It may seem like we’re speeding things up tremendously, but that’s not possible with 19th century light sources.

This means that no matter how hard you shine a gaslight, you can’t help but be cautious.

“after…….”

After passing the esophagus, it reaches the stomach.

And the above is usually fine as long as I don’t deliberately try to rip it.

This is especially true because the stomach of a 19th century person is much tougher and harder than that of a 21st century person.

It seems that since the food I eat is much tougher, it is a form of training.

“fire.”

“yes.”

Colin adjusted the fire a little, following your instructions.

That doesn’t mean there were any dramatic changes or anything.

It was a little better than before.

It was a situation where I wondered where that was.

really…….

It is not only difficult, but also humiliating to shine a light through a narrow tube several tens of centimeters long and look at the upper mucosa.

‘Early stomach cancer can’t be caught anyway… … .’

Just hang on to the big stuff, that’s what it is.

If this is the case, wouldn’t it be better to only do checkups for people who feel sick or something, rather than just doing them blindly?

The problem with cancer is that it’s not that simple.

Are you feeling sick because of cancer?

Then it will be difficult to survive even in the 21st century.

This means that if it is discovered in an early or late stage, something can be done about it.

“phew…….”

Fortunately, the king’s stomach appeared to be more or less clean.

Well, I can’t be 100% sure, but… … .

Even if he had early-stage stomach cancer, considering that he is now 72 years old, it seems much more likely that he died for other reasons.

So I removed the pillar with a somewhat satisfied look on my face.

Then Alfred turned off the gas valve and started to wake the king.

“Ugh… … Ugh… … .”

Your throat will probably hurt.

I said I was careful, but… … .

Honestly, if you put a lump of iron in it, wouldn’t it hurt?

Even if that’s true, since the stomach and esophagus have weak sensation, the entrance to the throat will still hurt.

“What… what are you doing.”

“I had a checkup, a checkup. Your insides are very clean.”

“What’s going on…?”

When you’re sick, you usually feel dissatisfied.

In Korea, there were some cases where that wasn’t the case.

Especially the elderly tend to think that they have done something only when they are sick.

But Westerners, the embodiment of imperialism, especially the king, don’t usually get sick, do they?

I’m so angry, that’s what I’m saying.

‘Well… … it’s not like there’s no way.’

In that case, you just have to convince them that it is worth enduring the pain.

“Yes, I just watched it.”

“Yes, inside the body?”

“Yes. I saw it all.”

If you listen, you’ll wonder what it is.

All I saw was the esophagus and the stomach.

People in the 21st century can never be fooled.

There’s no way that lump of metal could go in further in the first place, right?

I have a rough idea of ​​the anatomy, but I absolutely cannot believe this.

But a 19th century person can be fooled easily.

“Huh… … You saw everything inside me?”

“Who am I?”

“He’s a poet… … .”

“Yes, it is clean. You are in good health, Your Majesty.”

Above all, you can say anything in front of someone you haven’t seen for at least a year.

Isn’t this an era where we don’t even know the meaning of early detection and such?

Even if he passes away in about 6 months, he will feel sorry and say, ‘Ah… If only Kim Tae-pyeong had been here, he would have saved me!’

There is a high probability that it won’t take that long.

The succession structure is already solid and he himself has lived a long life, so what?

“That… … haha. As expected, it’s T.E.P.Y.”

Until a little while ago, he was saying that it was a lump of iron or something, but now that I say it’s healthy, he’s happy.

Thinking about how I said I had no regrets, I feel a little annoyed… … .

All people are originally like this.

Who would feel bad when a doctor with authority and fame like me says, ‘You are healthy and fine, you don’t have to worry about getting sick for the time being!’? Just common sense.

Especially for the elderly who are old enough to not feel strange no matter when they go, the joy is bound to be doubled.

-Hahaha! Our son is a filial son.

-There is only my son!

I still clearly remember how my parents, who treated me like such a devoted son, were so excited when they received the health certificate from me.

“Haha. That’s too much praise.”

“Yes, yes. I gave instructions to make sure you have a comfortable journey, so don’t worry.”

I just laughed at the king’s words.

This is something you can say to a loyal subject who is going on a long journey.

But the king’s mood seemed to be better than I expected.

He took the opportunity to grab my arm and put his hand on my head.

Anyone who has been to church for a while will recognize this right away: this is the famous laying on of hands prayer.

The only difference is that this is the king’s prayer.

“I will bless you.”

“Oh. It’s an honor.”

I immediately fell to my knees.

It looks a bit faded now, but… … .

I heard that until the late 18th century, people would line up to receive a prayer from the king if they had tuberculosis.

This is because they believed that the king was an authority established by God and that he naturally had the power to exercise it as God’s representative.

No, there are still many people who believe that.

To be honest, I’m not that type of person, but I’m not stupid enough to ruin a good picture by asserting my beliefs here.

“You too, Liston.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

So I quietly received the prayer.

Liston also happened to receive it.

My brother seemed very happy because he was still a die-hard Christian.

On that topic, I’d like to buy a talisman before going on a voyage, but… … Anyway.

We came out with the king’s blessing.

There probably wasn’t anyone so impudent as to do that in the first place, but I can say with certainty that there absolutely won’t be one now.

Because prayer at this time actually has prophetic power.

The king has blessed me, but you are making my journey difficult?

Then he is Satan.

Because I interfered with the Lord’s work.

“Hoo hoo hoo hoo.”

It could be said that it was a moment that made laughter come out naturally.

Liston also laughed heartily.

The disciples looked at us with envious eyes.

* * *

“Hoo hoo hoo hoo.”

William IV also smiled as he watched Kim Tae-pyeong and Liston walking away.

at las…….

It was because I was free.

“Your Majesty!”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“As soon as those guys set sail, they’ll get their balls kicked. Call the director.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. But… … .”

“But what the heck? This time, you didn’t put a curse on me! I even prayed for that to happen.”

“Aha, as expected, your depth of understanding is extraordinary.”

It was supposed to be the last one.
