Astelle expressed her sincere gratitude.

“No, Your Majesty.” Naen looked into Astelle’s eyes and asked, “Well, what should I tell him?”

Astelle pondered for a moment. Then she replied, “Next time you two meet, just say you don’t want to talk about it anymore. I’ll call him and talk to him so he won’t bother you again.”

Meanwhile, Vellian faithfully did as Astelle asked.

Astelle was able to get a vacant building in the capital the next day. She was also given permission to convert it into a herbal pharmacy and laboratory.

Astelle broke the news to Gretel after all the work had been decided while Gretel listened with a bewildered face.

“I wanted to build a herbal pharmacy, but I never imagined it would be built in the center of the capital in such a huge building.”

As the two were looking at the drawing of the building together and thinking about how to divide the area, the maid announced the arrival of a guest.

After a while, Fritz came inside.

“Brother Fritz.”

As Fritz entered, he found Gretel and paused.

Gretel, who looked at him with surprised eyes, got up hastily.

“She is Gretel, as I told you before, she is the pharmacist who made Theor’s medicine.”

“It is an honor to meet you, Duke.”

Gretel bowed to Fritz in bewilderment.

Fritz bowed his head in a respectful manner, while Gretel stared blankly at him.
