‘What exactly is the problem?’
As she was hurriedly rifling through the papers to check what had gone wrong.
“Are you trying to blow up the pharmacy?”
A soft voice made Lea startle.
‘Right, the Count was there…!’
How pitifully he must have been looking at her. Lea turned around with an awkward expression.
The Count, who had been standing far away from her, was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
He scanned Lea up and down with an impressed face.
“Have you been making antidotes? Or explosives? Did you change your plan from treating me to assassinating me?”
“That, that’s not possible! This was just a mistake!”
Goodness, assassination.
Of course, she had not predicted it would explode like this. Baffled, Lea bit her lips.
“If you make a mistake twice, you will blow up the mansion.”
He clicked his tongue and looked at the burnt test tube.
“I heard that you were the youngest person to get a pharmacist’s license in the empire, but it seems like it was all a lie.”
“…That’s!”
“How dare you pass off this mess to me.”
It was quite annoying to hear him subtly call her a mess again after the previous time. At the second mention of “mess,” Lea got angry.
“A mess? I am a certified pharmacist…!”
It was a matter of moments. The Count approached Lea, who was raising her voice in argument.
With the strong smell of Silverbell flowers coming from him, Lea froze in the middle of her words.
‘Was the Count this tall?’
The Count, who seemed to be two heads taller than her, was gently looking down at her.
“What are you going to do about these?”
Following his gaze, she turned her head and saw the ruined clinic. All the tools needed to make medicine and even the precious herbs had been burnt.
‘I’m in trouble.’
It would definitely take a while to get those items again. Lea looked up at the Count cautiously.
“I’m sorry, I’ll go to the village right away and…”
“Whose money?”
“Huh? That’s…”
It was ambiguous.
Of course, the Count should pay! She wanted to shout, but it was too blatantly her fault to ask so shamelessly.
“Just looking at the herbs you’ve burnt, they would exceed your monthly salary by a joke. Let’s see. These manufacturing tools are also unusable, right?”
He began to pick out the ruined things, one by one, in the ruined pharmacy.
“Even if the mansion looks a bit shabby, the things inside are all highend.”
“Eh?”
“The desk looks old, but it’s made of walnut wood, so it’s quite expensive. But since you’ve burnt it all, tsk. It would be better to replace it.”
“Eh?!”
As the Count continued, Lea was screaming internally.
“And today, you know how much the herbs you burnt cost without me having to tell you.”
“Wait a minute!”
“Oh, these broken medicinemaking tools are all limited edition Horren products. The price is probably…”
“Count!”
The Count, who had been setting a price on each item, tilted his head as if asking if there was a problem.
“What?”
“Do you expect me to pay for all of this… it can’t be, right?”
Please, no!
Lea looked up at him with desperate eyes, as if begging him to say no.
“That’s right? The person who broke it should naturally restore it, right?”
“Yes……?”
But as always, the Count shattered her expectations.
‘Oh my God. All of this?’
Lea looked at the items the Count pointed out with her eyes pale in shock.
And then she looked at the Count, who looked down at her with an even more arrogant expression, and she made her excuse.
“But the accident happened while I was doing the work you ordered, right? Strictly speaking, it’s a workplace accident! It’s naturally possible to happen during an experiment.”
“I’ve never heard of an explosion happening while making an antidote.”
“That’s……!”
“Don’t worry too much. But surely, I won’t be taking the full value of these items from you.”
But he cut off his words as if there would be no further compromise.
“I’ll only take half the price.”
“Half the price?”
“Yes, half.”
Whether she should be happy about this or not. Lea’s gaze trembled with anxiety.
“So how much is it……?”
“A total of 70 silver coins.”
‘What?’
Lea stared blankly at the Count, unable to even think about closing her mouth wide open.
“First, there will be no contract money until you pay off this debt. Of course, you can’t quit the mansion either.”
“…….”
“Ah, it’s best not to even think about running away secretly. I can be quite persistent.”
Seeing Lea’s face slowly turning pale, he smiled.
It was a rather affectionate look that he had never shown to her before. And Lea looked at the Count and thought.
This Xx, he might not have any money.
[This is a time divider.]Inside Bayern’s office. Someone was whispering quietly to him, as if telling him a secret story.
“What? The pharmacist and just the two of them?”
“Yes! I saw clearly with my two eyes that they were together!”
Upon hearing maid Jane’s words, Bayern’s eyes opened wide.
Jane, a little while ago, happened to pass by the pharmacy and discovered the Count and Lea together.
It was strange enough that the Count had left his bedroom, but the one he met outside was the pharmacist.
She wanted to see what they were doing, but the Count came out of the pharmacy right away, so she couldn’t know what the two were doing there.
However.
“Last time another child saw it, on the day when the Count was seriously ill. Someone saw the pharmacist coming out of the Count’s room secretly at dawn.”
“What?! From the Count’s room?”
“Yes! But that day was the day the butler told the pharmacist not to approach the Count. So they thought they had seen wrong.”
Upon hearing Jane’s words, Bayern struck the desk with his fist.
‘It was the pharmacist who cured the Count!’
Something had felt off. The Count, who was definitely on the brink of death, had become healthy overnight.
As Bayern anxiously chewed on his nails, he unfolded the letter he had received that morning.
[The disappointment is as great as the trust I had in you. If you want to get the position you want in the upcoming regular personnel rotation, you should try harder. [Dash] l.R]In the end, Bayern crumpled the paper as if he could not contain his anger. He couldn’t stay stuck in this country corner forever.
“I can’t just sit here and do nothing.”
A sinister light flashed in his eyes.

During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.

He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
