A Genius Pharmacist Whom the Empress Is Obsessed With - A Genius Pharmacist Whom the Empress Is Obsessed With chapter 13

Subtle Changes.

Considering the layout of the rooms, separate semi-automatic water and drainage facilities with a separate water tank, and well-ventilated windows with spacious storage warehouses.

The marquis’s dedication was evident, as he personally participated in the construction, the apothecary was truly perfect. In that fantastic apothecary, Idoon was busy taking care of the people inside the palace.

After the meeting with the princess, Idun had planned to leave the Wumstendel Castle within a week at the latest.

“I need to separate from the princess as soon as possible.”

Every time the princess saw the red snakes, it made Idun’s mouth water. How could staying in the Wumstendel Castle be comfortable?

However, even after two weeks had passed, Idun was still staying at the Wumstendel Castle. It was all thanks to everyone in the castle except for Princess Radimine and Director Estelon, who had kept Idun there.

“You can’t leave? I can be your personal physician. I am also in a lot of pain!”

As soon as Idun informed them of his departure, Ella sat on the floor and burst into tears, and the Count and Countess also came to persuade Idun, saying it was too early.

“I will find a personal physician within a month. Please wait until I find a proper physician for Her Highness. It seems difficult for me to take care of the patients alone with the skills of Director Estelon.”

“And more than anything, isn’t it the personality of Director Estelon that is the problem?”

Idun couldn’t help but agree with the logical words of the very logical Count.

He couldn’t let the patients that he had worked so hard to heal be destroyed by quack doctors.

Moreover, he hadn’t even made a proper plan of where to go…

As long as he maintained a good distance from the princess, it seemed okay to stay at the Wumstendel Castle for another month or so.

“Oh my, Idun, are you busy right now?”

As Idun checked the dried herbs on the counter, someone came to the pharmacy.

Peeking through the crack in the door was the princess’s maid, Pia.

“What’s the matter, Pia? Come in and have a seat.”

“Well, my wrist hurts too much.”

Pia shook her wrist and sat on the patient’s chair.

“Just wait a moment.”

Idun quickly put away the dried herbs and approached Pia.

“Did your wrist suddenly start hurting?”

“Her Highness always holds my wrist and walks with me. I think it’s straining my wrist.”

“Let me take a look first.”

Idun concentrated and looked at Pia. A red energy was pulsating from her left wrist and upper abdomen.

“Could there be something wrong with your joints? Tomorrow is my turn to do the laundry…”

While Idun was organizing his thoughts, Pia asked anxiously in a shaky voice.

“No, I don’t think that’s it. Usually, with arthritis, the wrist swells and gets hot. But you don’t have any swelling. And while your fingers might tingle or feel numb, your wrist doesn’t throb, right?”

“Yes, that’s right!”

“Moreover, judging by how well your wrist moves, it doesn’t seem like a joint problem. It’s more likely a muscle problem.”

Idun calmly continued his explanation.

“By the way, besides your wrist, it seems like your speed isn’t very good lately. Have you been eating your meals on time?”

“…No! How did you know about that?”

“There are ways that I know everything.”

Eden replied with a sly smile. She couldn’t say that there was a red energy gathered in her upper abdomen.

As her ability to read life force while treating the princess developed, Eden’s eyes began to see the patient’s painful areas in red.

Compared to the energy consumed in blowing vitality, there were advantages to using this ability in simple examinations. It consumed less energy and could also shorten the time.

“If you have time, I’ll massage your wrist a bit. Then you’ll feel much more comfortable.”

“Sure, I would like that!”

Fiacca leaned against the back of the chair and closed her eyes completely.

Eden pressed on the middle of her wrist where the radial artery was located and then the meridian point located a couple of finger-widths below. Both spots were effective for wrist pain and digestion, making them the most effective for Fiacca at the moment.

“Mmm.”

As soon as Eden pressed on the meridian points, a short groan escaped from Fiacca’s mouth. She tried to treat her in a way that wouldn’t cause much pain, but if the patient had a lot of impurities built up in their body, there were cases where they felt pain when pressing the meridian points.

“Just bear with it a little longer.”

Eden gradually infused vitality into the weakened meridian points, and soon, instead of painful groans, Fiacca’s mouth was filled with satisfied sighs.

“It’s just like what Miss Ella said! You only pressed a little, and the pain quickly disappeared.”

Fiacca looked at her pain-free wrist in amazement and spoke.

“I’m glad it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Eden also smiled and stood up, heading towards the herbal medicine drawer.

“I’ll prepare the medicine, so come back in three hours. If you’re busy, please let me know. I’ll bring it to you.”

“Yes, I’d love that! By the way, Eden-nim, can I ask you something?”

“Yes, of course.”

Eden carefully chose the herbal medicine as she replied. Since Wumstendel Castle in the countryside didn’t have access to many herbal medicines, she had to find new combinations using easily obtainable ones. It was not an easy task, to say the least.

“Why do you always wear those white gloves?”

Eden’s hand, which was diligently searching for herbal medicine, paused for a moment.

“Well, it’s something similar. It’s easier to see if something stains when it’s white.”

“That’s right! You pay attention to even the smallest things.”

While Fiacca clapped her hands in admiration, Eden secretly let out a bitter laugh.

The truth was, there was only one reason why Eden always wore white clothing. It was to quickly notice if there were any injuries on her body and, more importantly, if her blood was spilled.

‘…That way, no one will be able to hurt me by getting addicted to my blood.’

Therefore, even when the nosebleed occurred, he hurriedly wiped the blood away and washed his clothes by hand. It was clear that the dried and withered blood that had been flowing out for a long time was not toxic, but it was better to be cautious.

“Well then, I will be on my way. I have a lot of work to do. I’ll come to pick up the medicine in three hours, as you said.”

“Yes. See you later, Piyaka.”

Eden smiled and bid farewell while hiding his bitter feelings.

“Your Highness.”

Leudimine, who was sitting in a simple bedroom, gazing out the window, felt a presence and turned around.

In front of the door, Director Estella bowed and greeted with a lowered waist. Next to the director, the maid Huga was holding a tray that seemed to have been brought by the director.

“Your Highness, it’s time to take your medicine.”

“…You work so hard, every day.”

Leudimine greeted Director Estella, who brought her medicine.

Although her stomach felt a little uncomfortable due to the nauseating odor emanating from him, hiding her emotions was nothing to Leudimine.

“No, it’s just part of our duty as physicians to take care of patients.”

Director Estella tried to offer a bright smile and joined his hands together.

“It is best to take the medicine while it’s warm.”

“Yes, Huga. Bring the medicine.”

There was not much difference, but it was slightly more comfortable to consume the medicine warm than cold.

“It’s hot, Your Highness. Be careful.”

Leudimine accepted the medicine cup handed to her by Huga and savored the scent.

Savoring the scent of the medicine had become a new habit for Leudimine.

Unlike the nauseating odor emanating from the director’s body, the medicine he brought always had a pleasant scent. It was such a comforting and refreshing scent that if she just took a moment to smell it, laughter would naturally flow out.

“But it seems slightly different from last time…”

Since she had become accustomed to distinguishing good and bad through smell, Leudimine’s sense of smell was very sensitive.

“It seems different from last time. Where is this medicine good for?”

“…Pardon?”

Director Estella made a face as if she didn’t understand Leudimine’s question.

“Where is this medicine good for?”

“Oh, yes. As I mentioned earlier, it not only restores weakened vitality but also boosts immunity.”

“…Is it the same as the medicine I took yesterday?”

“Yes. Usually, with medicine, you should take it regularly for at least a week to see its effects.”

Rudimine once again savored the scent of the medicine. Contrary to the director’s explanation that it was the same medicine as yesterday, there was a subtly sweet fragrance permeating the air.

“…Are the ingredients the same as well?”

“Yes. That’s correct.”

Rudimine was a bit confused. It definitely looked like a different medicine to her, but the director kept insisting that it was the same medicine, making her sense of smell feel completely wrong.

“Your Highness, please drink it before your meal.”

Rudimine hesitated, and Huga urged her on.

“Well then, I’ll just have to drink it for now.”

At least she was sure of the director’s skills. Every time she drank the medicine that the director had made, Rudimine could feel vitality returning to her body.

“It seems like the bitter taste has reduced….”

Could it be that I was mistaken?

Rudimine doubted as she swallowed the medicine.

While she was drinking the medicine, Director Estelon continued speaking.

“Today, I have prepared a special treatment for Your Highness. Would you like to try it?”

“You prepared something?”

Rudimine replied as she put down the medicine cup.

“Yes. If you permit, I will proceed with the treatment immediately.”

“Well then. It can’t be bad.”

As soon as Rudimine gave her permission, Director Estelon swiftly approached her.

“What is he doing now?”

Rudimine furrowed her brow at the unexpected behavior of the director.
