Chapter: 1024
“Miss Gretel is a benefactor who took care of Her Majesty the Empress and His Highness the Crown Prince.”
“I’m embarrassed to hear you say that. Actually, I had a lot of fun thanks to them.”
Gretel lived with her mother since she was a child, and after she became an adult, she lived alone.
As she happened to meet Astelle, she became friendly with Theor and was able to stay close to her like her own family.
“Rather, I received a lot of help from the Empress to develop a potion that can change the color of the eyes.”
The potion was an application of a dyeing method from a book inherited from her mother, and she was able to develop it quickly thanks to Astelle volunteering as a test subject herself.
Gretel continued happily, “Thanks to her, I was able to write down my own recipe in my book as well.”
The book containing family secrets that she owns is an heirloom passed down from generation to generation.
Her mother inherited it from her maternal grandmother and her maternal grandmother inherited it from her great-grandmother.
The person who received the book wrote down the medicine he developed himself in it.
Fritz, who was listening to the story, honestly expressed his admiration, “That’s incredible.”
“Is that something amazing?”
“I think it is a wonderful thing to have worked as a pharmacist while keeping the family tradition for generations.”
‘Is that so?’
If you put it that way, you are also similar.
Fritz’s father was once a chancellor of the empire, and I heard that his grandfather and great-grandfather were also chancellors.
‘Will this man get that position someday?’
Gretel was worried that this demure man in front of her could handle such a heavy responsibility.
“Does your family have any reason to pass down skills only to daughters?”
“It doesn’t have to be.”
They originally passed on their skills to the sons as well.
However, even if the sons learned herbal medicine, they would go out to the city and work as doctors.
If they become a full doctor, they will have a good income and a lot of benefits.
On the other hand, she had no choice but to work as an apothecary for the rest of her life because women were not allowed to become doctors in the empire.
The truth is that neither her mother nor her grandmother ever had a son, so she had no choice.
