Episode 548 Cruel solution (1)

Ding dong….

[Comprehensive findings: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Lou Gehrig’s disease are detected.]

“….”

My heart sinks. The weight of despair becomes thicker as the length of content fills before your eyes. When people become so lost, does this kind of dull feeling come about? So much so that the movement of eyes scanning the message feels empty. like that.

[Currently, it has been detected that the patient’s motor neurons are being selectively killed. Progressive destruction of upper motor neurons in the cerebral cortex and lower motor neurons in the brainstem is detected. It is presumed that the main cause of this is a mutation occurring in the patient’s chromosome 21, and in addition, apoptosis due to excitotoxicity induced by mana interference of unknown origin is also believed to be one of the causes. Taking all of this into consideration, we recommend comfortable nursing care as much as possible for the patient’s stability and for organizing his or her life.]

Organizing one’s life.

Cleanup, not treatment.

It is a disease for which treatment is recommended only for that purpose.

It is a disease whose exact cause has not yet been identified, so there is no prevention method, and of course, no cure exists at all.

That is Lou Gehrig’s disease.

“Ha…”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

Honestly, I couldn’t even imagine it.

I never thought I would see someone with this disease. I never thought it would be Damian.

“How are you, Your Majesty?”

“….”

Damian rolls his eyes while lying down. He looked so fine that his sudden collapse earlier was insignificant. His complexion was normal, and his facial expressions and eyes were also full of vitality. The body movements were also like that. I could feel my whole body telling me that I wanted to get up and get up right away, as if lying on a pulse hospital bed was so uncomfortable.

On the outside, he looks very healthy. That’s why I want him to live for a thousand or ten thousand years. But this guy has Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Honestly, I didn’t want to believe it.

“You…”

From now on, your entire body will suddenly become paralyzed. Your limbs will start to lose strength. As the nerve cells that make your body move are rapidly eroded and destroyed one by one… you will be unable to move at all, contrary to your mind or will.

Should I say…

So, you will have to spend your days lying in bed. Meanwhile, your sensory nerves will be intact, so you will have to feel all the sensations of your body. Therefore, you will be trapped in a prison called your body. In that state, you will have to wait for death, which will come when your respiratory muscles become paralyzed. I will do it…

should I say that?

“So you…”

I don’t know.

How should I say this?

The prognosis for this is extremely bad. It is much worse than diabetes or lung cancer, which even have a cause or cure. This is a disease for which no one has yet discovered the exact cause. So there is no cure. It’s just despair. It is a disease with a mortality rate of over 60% within 5 years and a whopping 90% within 10 years.

…Will I really be able to say it?

“majesty.”

Did you read this person’s expression? Damian’s eyes hardened as he looked up. Perhaps he also sensed something.

“I remember what Your Highness always emphasized.”

“…emphasis?”

“yes.”

Damian nods.

The guy lifted one corner of his lip faintly.

“Isn’t Your Highness always the first to consider and consider those who are diagnosed under any circumstances?”

“….”

“I think it’s best for me to speak honestly now.”

“….”

is it.

Is that so?

Is this guy ready?

Is that why I felt ashamed? no. That’s not it. However, one side of my chest felt cold. On the other hand, I was angry. To the Demon King who created this whole situation? no. Not even that. I don’t know who I’m angry with. I was really angry.

Maybe that was why.

The reason my voice trembled without my knowledge.

“Lou… Gehrig.”

“yes?”

“A place we went together before. korea. In the past of that world. “There was a famous athlete named Lou Gehrig, or Henry Louis Gehrig.”

It was like that.

Early 1900s.

He was an American baseball player.

Played in 2,130 All-Star games for 7 consecutive years, won the American League MVP twice, and was the youngest player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame at the time. He was truly a sportsman who could be called a legend.

But one day, he suddenly started complaining of helplessness and fatigue. The performance of the game also went downhill rapidly. Until then, people didn’t know. The fact that he acquired a rare disease that would later be named after him.

“As his health worsened, he retired and was diagnosed with a rare disease shortly thereafter. The bottle was named after him. It’s called Lou Gehrig’s disease. And he died. “In just two years.”

“Then I…”

“I think I have that disease.”

“majesty.”

“Let’s do our best. you can do it. There is also an example called Stephen Hawking. There are cases like him who were diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease at a young age and survived for decades. “There is no need to just think of it as difficult.”

“…majesty.”

“huh?”

“Are you okay?”

“….”

Did I look bad? Rachiel bit her lower lip without realizing it. I finally realized it. The fact that he had lost his composure. Also the fact that I made a mistake.

‘….’

I can’t believe he was shaking in front of the patient. It’s the worst. If this happens, the patient will become more anxious. I did something I shouldn’t have done. I felt even worse about myself. I got angry again. Anger that I don’t even know who it’s directed at.

“I’m fine, Your Highness.”

“I…”

“I understand your highness saying that. “I would have done the same.”

“You…”

“It’s okay. “Thanks to you, Your Highness.”

“….”

Damian grins as if nothing is wrong. How could that happen? How could anyone be calmer than this? And why am I regaining my composure after receiving comfort from a patient who had just been diagnosed with an incurable disease?

It’s embarrassing and ugly.

“…Whew. okay. It should be okay. “It has to get better in the future.”

“Your Majesty, you will be able to do that.”

“okay. Just trust me.”

I got up from my seat.

I felt that now was not the time to be angry and despair. Anger towards the Demon King? Or a rebuke to yourself? Now even that is just a luxury.

You have to move.

It has to be stopped somehow.

You must survive at all costs.

“So you’re resting.”

“I don’t like it.”

“what?”

“Aren’t you planning to inform everyone, including the Dragon King, of my illness and hold a countermeasures meeting? So, I will go with you.”

“Hey, you…”

“If there is no sign of improvement even if you rest, I will stay by your side.”

Because that is my mission.

no.

Because that way, I feel like I’ll be at least a little better. Because you are someone who always treats patients with sincerity. Because I became your patient. So, I think I can be a little better if I’m by your side.

So please.

Damian looked at his master carefully. And I hoped. I hope my lord understands my heart. I hope you understand this feeling of wanting to grab even a small bud of hope. Therefore, I hope you will listen to my plea to stay by your side.

“…okay.”

Rachiel nodded.

Damian willingly followed Rakiel’s footsteps. With a slightly unsteady step. Nevertheless, in the end, he keeps pace with his master.

“… is the identity of the disease currently occurring in Sir Damien Cayenne’s body.”

The main hall of the imperial palace, which was used as the conference venue, was spacious. As it was vast, the voice also rang out resonantly. Rachiel’s just-finished presentation reached the ears of numerous race representatives. Of course, deep wrinkles of concern were etched between their eyebrows.

“Hmm, so… does this mean Sir Cayenne’s disease is incurable?”

“Yes, Vampire Lord.”

“Is there no treatment at all?”

“That is what has been revealed so far. Just-”

“Just?”

“Everyone should work together to develop a treatment.”

“Quick! “If I can’t move because the nerves or something are dead, does that mean muscle loss is happening?”

“That’s right. Warchief.”

“Then, let’s build more muscles!”

“….”

“You just have to fight muscle loss and keep building muscle! Then, paralysis can be prevented, kkuik!”

“…It’s a constructive idea, but I think it’ll be a bit difficult. Muscle loss is simply a phenomenon that occurs as a result of nerve damage.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course.”

“Then what if we let Sir Cayenne live underwater like us mermaids?”

“yes?”

The Mermaid Queen, the strongest of the underwater world, spoke in a loud voice.

“It would be a tragedy to not be able to move on one’s own on rough land. But it’s a different story in the vast ocean that gives us all existence. “It’s not a world where not being able to move is a handicap.”

“What… do you mean?”

“sponge. sea squirt. Mideodeok. Seaweed. barnacle. They are all wonderful marine creatures that live their own fulfilling lives without moving in one place for their entire lives. “Why not follow their example?”

“…So, um, are you saying we should place Damian as a decoration… or rather as a built-in, on the bottom of the sea?”

“yes. “They said I wouldn’t be able to move anyway.”

“But Damian is not a sea squirt or a seaweed.”

“If you don’t like something built in one place, what about floating around like a jellyfish?”

“…I think that would be more difficult.”

Rakiel let out a deep sigh.

In fact, paralysis is not the only problem with Lou Gehrig’s disease. Complications such as paralysis of respiratory muscles at the end and pneumonia due to total dependence on artificial respirators are the real problems.

‘Of course, Komong’s breathing assistance ability can prevent complications as much as possible… but still, the body will become increasingly helpless. Not only will you lose muscle, but your immunity will also drop significantly.’

But in that situation, what if the Demon King brings another incurable disease as a complication?

I can’t stop it then.

It really is the end.

“So, we must not only prevent Sir Cayenne’s death, but also prevent his health from deteriorating by preventing paralysis of his motor nerves. “We are having a meeting to discuss that.”

Rachiel once again presented the current goal accurately to everyone. But perhaps it was because the goal itself was so daunting.

After the Mermaid Queen’s final remarks, no one was willing to speak out.

No, there was only one person.

“Then I guess there’s only one way left.”

Dragon King Berkis, who had remained silent until now, slowly began to cry. And said. In fact, he pointed at Damian as if to point out that this was the simplest method.

“Can’t we just send that guy to a place like the world that was already destroyed by the Demon King, where no one is around, and let him die alone?”
