Chapter 48.2

The news had already been reported to the Imperial City.

The Leander family took the lead in defending the empire, especially after the monster wave occurred.

The collapse of their leader, the Duke, caused great distress to the Emperor.

“He caught Nisephor?”

“Yes, your Majesty.”

“Whoa… Did you not say there was someone who made the medicine recently?”

“The family of Zara, who had a long relationship with the Leander, must have already headed to the mansion.”

The emperor did not say anything and paced around the room.

He could not help but calculate the damage they would suffer at the loss of the Leander Family.

“………Duke Leander is still young, it will take time for him to fall to the illness. I have no choice but to hope that Duke Leander will recover and take back the place he had been assigned to. In the meantime, if a monster wave occurs, let the Royal Knights take care of it.”

“Yes, your Majesty.”

“Let’s see if the other knights can help.”

“Yes.”

It was not until he had decided who would fill Leander’s vacancy that the emperor could investigate the Duke’s situation.

Nisephor was a disease that killed many people. A child to be a prospective crown prince also died of Nisephor. At only 20 years of age, he died. It was such a young age.

“……I can’t turn a blind eye to this. Take the Chief, the Royal Physician, and the best medicines you can get; and let the Crown Prince go to the Leander’s mansion himself.”

“Yes, your Majesty.” The servant bowed his head.

It was predicted that the visit of the Crown Prince, who lost his fiancé to the same disease, would be able to express his deep condolences.

The Emperor rubbed his eyes with a gloomy look.

The doctor examined Louella’s father and once again diagnosed that it was Nisephor.

‘What I waited for had already happened.’

“I have the medicine.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to me.

“It’s a medicine made by Villiers. They said that it can be cured if you take it after the start of Nisephor.”

I took out what I had hung around my neck.

“Oh…….”

The doctor took the medicine with a look of deep confusion.

“This is not sold in the market yet…! I had heard that Lord Villiers had succeeded in developing this drug!” I nodded my head.

There was a faint relief on everyone’s faces. Fortunately, no one seemed to wonder why I had the medicine.

“Villiers said that he can’t recover immediately after taking the medicine. So we have to watch his condition for a while and wait for him to recuperate. And he says it’s best to mix the medicine in water.”

“……God.”

My great grand-aunt murmured.

Alexid grabbed my hand. It was a sign of tension.

“I heard that the last clinical trial was over. And everyone said it worked.”

“God really helped us.” The doctor muttered.

The maid brought a water bowl and the doctor mixed the medicine I gave her. In fact, this process would have been difficult if the development of the medicine had not been published in academic journals or newspapers.

But Villiers’ research had caught people’s attention.

It was a record-breaking achievement that appeared great through the first clinical trial last year. All the patients who participated in the experiment returned normally to their daily lives.

The doctor spooned the drug into my father’s lips.

‘Please…’

I looked at it and prayed. Please don’t let everyone’s efforts go down the drain. My heart started beating fast.

However, Dad did not come to his senses even after the medicine was consumed.

“……is it not working?” asked Alexid in a heavy voice.

“I don’t think so. It may take some time for the medicine to work.”

“……What else can we do?”

“So far, I’m going to bring some herbs that are known to be effective in the development of Nisephor. But if it’s okay to take it with me….”

“Villiers will be here soon.”

“Then we’d better decide when Lord Villiers gets here.” Alexid nodded.

I didn’t know how long it took for those who consumed the medicine to wake up and come back to their senses.

“Alexis…”

“He will wake up, Lulu. Where would our father go if he were going to leave us?” Alexid patted me on the shoulder.

“Good job, Lulu. We were lucky to have the medicine.”

“…… I got one from Villiers. It’s amazing. I’ve actually helped him make medicine a few times.”

“You helped him?”
