Chapter 58
Nos, who was behind my father, rubbed his hand at me with a desperate expression that say, ‘Please save us.’
I rolled my eyes and muttered, “Uh, that, ····.”
“I slept with the doll that my brothers gave me every day, and it seemed like I was with you guys at the castle.”
“Everyday?”
“Always?”
The two said and I nodded.
“Because I miss you all the time!”
Only then did the older brothers’ expressions relaxed a little.
Dad came down from the horse and hugged me.
“Didn’t you sleep with the doll I gave you?”
Dad looks a little thin.
In my last life, he did not participate in the war after Kruger, but in the battle of the Allies, he participated at the end of the war and led the victory.
So, I was relieved, but when I saw his face, my heart broke.
I hugged my dad’s neck tightly.
“I hugged it and slept well.”
Dad’s hand patting my hair was very comforting.
That night, the castle was noisy with the party until late at night. Dubbled gave a wide range of drinks and meat for the soldiers.
When I got out in the middle of the party, I saw my cotton pocket, and then asked the chairman who followed me out.
“The soldiers who came back from winning today almost died of a heart attack.”
“Huh?”
“I heard that you welcomed the loot box more than the brothers.”
“Yes, but look at this.”
I took it out of my pocket and showed it to the chairman.
“What’s this?”
This is the item that I welcomed more than my family.
I laughed and said,
“It’s better than gold.”
“You mean this? I think it’s just a normal seed…”
“No, this will separate the empress from the church, and make us a fortune.”
“Would there be such a seed…?”
“It’s called Luminous. A special seed only found in orgos, the southernmost part of the continent.”
“Luminous?”
“If you mix it with medicine, it’s effective for arthritis and neuralgia. It’s also effective for the embarrassing skin disease of the Empress.”
“Skin disease? Does the empress have skin problems?”
I nodded.
Only a few people of the church knows it, but the reason why the Empress was deeply devoted to them is the skin disease.
The empress had a sincere heart and thought that if she devoted herself to God it would cure her skin.
Of course, that’s not the only reason for her to be close to the church, but skin disease is a big part.
When I explained to the chairman, he shook his head.
“But it will be difficult to get it into the hands of the Empress Dowager. Drugs that go to the palace go through years of review.”
“That’s why we let the Empress find it herself.”
“How can I do that?”
“If most of the elderly are affected by the medicine, she had no choice but to pay attention.”
I gathered my hands together and looked up at the chairman.
“And there’s an old man right in front of me.”
“….Pardon?”
He looked at me with an anxious expression.
***
a blooming party was held ahead of spring.
It was all old gentlemen and ladies who filled the party.
Jean Marc, who got off the wagon, looked at the party and held his forehead.
‘How did this happen?’
“Before the relationship between the church and the empress gets better, we should send the medicine fast. You have to make that much of an effort so that rumors of Luminous can go around fast.”
The billboard is himself.
This Jean Marc is the most famous of the five viscount in the continent, leading the original circle of Dubbled, which has a good influence on the West.
‘I can’t believe I’ve become a puppet for a 9-year-old kid.’
Jean Marc sighed and went into the party.
As I open the door, I heard exclamations from all over the place.
“Oh my god, Viscount Noanoke…”
“He looks extraordinarily nice today.”
It was worth it.
Before coming to this party, he had to manage his body shape with Leblaine’s medicine.
It was impossible for a man to manage this much in his old days.
Old ladies crept up, covering their mouths with peacock feather fan.
“How have you been?”
“Long time no see, Lord Noanoke.”
“You look different today.”
He really is different than usual. At other times, he would have ignored the ladies with an annoyed glance, but Leblaine’s words lingered in the chairman’s ear.
He forced the corners of his mouth up.
“Yes, how have you been?”
The ladies blushed.
Even when they were young, the face that thrilled many young girls did not disappear as they got older.
‘Oh my, why is she laughing like that?’
‘It reminds me of the old days.’
The ladies and a few gentlemen came up to him.
“Oh, you look younger.”
“Your body looks very fit too.”
“The word fit is a signal. You have to talk about medicine, right there!”
Leblaine’s words came to mind.
“I’m taking a medicine these days.”
The lady’s eyes were wide open when he said so,
“Medicine?”
“It’s a medicine to become younger.”
“Do you have such medicine?!”
The chairman awkwardly took the medicine chest out of his jacket.
Then, with his right hand supporting the bottom of the medicine bottle and his left hand covering the back, he said the exact words Leblaine told him to say.
“The medicine of youth. You can get one at the top of Hope right now.”
***
With an ecstatic expression, I hugged the ledger sent by Seria.
‘Oh, the joy of having money.’
I don’t know how many zeros there are already.
With the effect of the billboard, Luminous sold out instantly.
To what extent, not only senior citizens but also middle-aged people line up in front of the place.
According to Seria, there is a long line in front of the store every day.
‘He did a great job on the ad.’
There was nothing like the word youth that made old people excited.
If I had sold it to everyone, I can probably buy a few islands, but I had a doctor on-site and sold luminous only to those who really needed it.
It would be more effective if it was used by a really sick person, so I could get more attention from Empress.
‘Now all I have to do is wait for a call.’
I hesitated and hid the ledger well.
“Little miss, don’t you want a meal?”
“Yes!”
Today’s breakfast menu is French toast. It is my favorite menu, so I went down to the dining room while humming.
“Good morning.”
I answered to Henry, put my napkin in my lap, and grabbed a spoon and fork.
The smell of fresh French toast flowed into my nose.
The smell of savory eggs and sweet raspberry jam mingled and seemed to stimulate the stomach.
I cut the toast, folded it tightly and put it in my mouth.
‘Delicious,…’
As soon as one toast was finished, a new toast was given to me. It was Dad’s.
“Dad, aren’t you eating?”
“No.”
I never refused when it came to food.
In the past, I thought that I needed more food because I was a child, but turns out I really like eating.
I enjoyed living as myself in my fourth life.
I saw my family members who ate the toast and checked the newspaper.
“They’re having a party in the palace.”
When Henry said so while putting sugar cubes in my tea, Dad nodded.
“Both the flower festival and the victory banquet.”
Isaac frowned while putting the salad on my plate.
“Oh, I can’t miss it if it’s a victory banquet.”
Henry replied, stirring the sugar in my tea.
“If we don’t go, others will steal the credit.”
Isaac sprinkled the dressing on the salad he had put on my plate.
“We fought to die, but why is there a flower festival?”
Henry picked up the teacup, fed it to me, and said,
“I’ve been telling you to watch your language in front of Leblaine.”
Isaac also picked up the salad with a fork and pushed it towards me.
“It’s just annoying.”
I couldn’t stand the tea and salad on both sides and groaned.
‘Are they harassing me because I welcomed the loot more last time?
As I was contemplating, my dad took the tea and salad from the two.
“Don’t tease your sister.”
“But she’s very cute.”
When I saw Isaac smiling, I became sullen.
“I’ve been bullied.”
I stared at them both. They are very naughty brothers to bully their younger sister.
I couldn’t just pass by something like this, so I said it very sternly.
“Can’t you not do that next time?”
Henry and Isaac, with their heads down, shook their shoulders. The employees turned their heads and trying their best to hold their laughter.
