Chapter 455: The Refreshing Taste of the Forest
The full recovery potion was successfully finished. Now, the question is what to do with it. I think the best place would be to leave it with the knights, but I also want to keep it on hand just in case something happens.
While thinking about that, I made additional full recovery potions, and in total, three were completed. They are very precious magical potions.
“All right, I’ve decided. One will go to Alex-oniisan, one to the knights, and I’ll keep the last one.”
“I think that’s a good idea. That way, you should be able to respond no matter what happens.”
They might be surprised when I hand the full recovery potion to Alex-oniisan, but he currently holds the most influence in the Heine Frontier Count’s household. If I give it to him, Sister-in-law Daniela will be covered too. That’s absolutely essential. I wish I could have made more, but it can’t be helped.
I headed to the salon with Nero. After telling Alex-oniisan what I just said, I’ll take the potion to the knights. Lionel was conveniently there at the salon. Sister-in-law Daniela was also next to Alex-oniisan. It seemed they were discussing the recent events in detail—from Lionel’s perspective.
“Julius, I heard from Lionel too. Looks like you were very active.”
Alex-oniisan smiled with a social smile. I wonder what kind of report Lionel gave. Well, I won’t pursue that. At this point, whatever I say would be too late anyway. I could only respond with a bitter smile.
“Alex-oniisan, I made a full recovery potion using materials from the World Tree. I’ll give you one. Also, one for Lionel. There is one more, but I will keep that one.”
“What? I thought it was impossible to make…”
Alex-oniisan and Sister-in-law Daniela both looked at me wide-eyed. Lionel was the same. It would be troublesome if I lied to Alex-oniisan here and made him suspicious. I decided to tell the truth.
“I see. Indeed, what Julius says makes sense. I think it’s a wise decision. If the Marquis of Mulan had known that you could make a full recovery potion, you might have been forced to make it all winter.”
“Th-that’s… hahaha.”
I let out a dry laugh. That could definitely happen. No matter how much you like making magical potions, making the same one continuously has its downsides. Plus, Fabienne, Mira, and the knights of the Heine Frontier Count’s household would all get involved.
“So, this is the full recovery potion. I wonder what it tastes like?”
“Um, it seems to have a refreshing forest flavor.”
“What kind of taste is that?”
“Who knows…?”
We all just shrugged. Well, I guess we’ll know if we try drinking it. It shouldn’t be fatal. Lionel was quietly staring at the full recovery potion. Maybe he was thinking about when to use it. The captain of the knights has it tough too.
“Julius, more materials from the World Tree are supposed to arrive from the Draken Frontier Marquis family, right?”
“That’s the plan. But I think the harvest will be around autumn.”
“I see. It’s a precious magical potion… But is it really okay not to give this to the royal family?”
If such a precious magical potion exists, it should probably be given to the royal family. But then again, Sister-in-law Daniela is also royalty here. I think the need is the same.
“They said they would send World Tree materials to the royal castle too. And Leon seems to have brought some there, so maybe full recovery potions will be made in the capital as well?”
“I see. If that’s the case, maybe it’s fine. They know how to make it, right?”
“Probably.”
“Probably…”
Silence fell in the salon. Should I have double-checked? But if I had gone to the royal castle to check the method, I’m sure I would have been forced to make it. Then, my deification would have accelerated even more.
Even so, this is still the best magical potion-making organization in the country. I’ll trust their power.
“Sister-in-law Daniela, you’ll be staying with the Heine Frontier Count’s household from now on, right?”
“Yes, that’s the plan. I’ve finished my duties as royalty. Still, there’s a chance an unavoidable royal duty might come up.”
Sister-in-law Daniela smiled while lowering her eyebrows. Being royalty is tough. Even after leaving the royal family, work still follows.
If Sister-in-law Daniela lives with the Heine Frontier Count’s household, Alex-oniisan’s workload will surely become much lighter. The fact that he is here at the salon now is proof of that. Before, at this time of day, he would have been at the Heine Trading Company office.
“With this, half of the burden on Alex-oniisan’s shoulders has been lifted.”
“Yes. I’m really glad Daniela came back.”
“Oh, Alex…”
Sister-in-law Daniela pushed Alex-oniisan’s shoulder. Damn, I was the one who brought up the topic, but I can’t help feeling a bit jealous being shown this.
Sister-in-law Daniela looks happy too. She clearly understands that her strength is helping someone. It’s the same reason I make things.
“Oh, by the way, I didn’t get to talk much with Cain-oniisan and Sister-in-law Mika. They came back here during the summer, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. But it might not have been very fun for the two of them. They were pulled into managing horse racing instead of Julius. Every day.”
“Every day…”
They probably helped with operations rather than security. Those two tend to be muscle-minded, but they are respectable members of the Heine Frontier Count’s household. They must have been made to do various greetings: noble greetings, opening ceremony speeches, closing ceremony speeches, and so on. No wonder they said nothing at the townhouse.
“Did we do something bad?”
“I think you should apologize to Mika-chan. She was really down when she found out Julius wasn’t here.”
“I’ll send her a letter later.”
So that explains the enthusiastic welcome. Maybe I should have sparred with her at least once.
