Chapter: 919

“Ah……. It has such a deep meaning.”

At Astelle’s words, the ladies looked at her in admiration.

“After all, Your Majesty the Empress is very thoughtful.”

About half of them were really moved and gave Astelle a look of respect. Even if the other half didn’t, they gave a look of admiration at the empress who won people’s hearts in this way.

“That is the reason why you set up an herbal school in the capital.”

“That’s right”

Astelle had asked Gretel to make a ready-to-use medicine set for the whole country.

Thanks to this, the herbal school became more like a herbal production center than a school.

Fortunately, Gretel liked being able to produce her own medicine on a large scale.

“I plan to set up a plantation in the South to grow more herbs needed in the capital. The location has already been decided and construction is underway.”

The South is a warm and peaceful region, so it would not be strange to make a plantation in the mountains.

“I heard that the Duke also helped.”

“Yes, Fritz helped me decide the location.”

Speaking of Fritz, some of the ladies’ eyes began to sparkle.

“I heard that the duke is always busy and leaves the mansion empty, and the duke’s mansion is managed by the butler.”

“It’s unavoidable because there’s a lot of work.”

Not only because of work, but Fritz seemed reluctant to return to the house he once shared with his father.

As if they had been waiting, someone spoke up, “I hope he has a Duchess soon.”

Seeing the ladies who sympathized with that statement, Astelle felt uncommonly embarrassed.

“Well…….”

In fact, Astelle also wanted to find a marriage partner for her older brother Fritz, but she couldn’t because Fritz didn’t seem to like it.

You can’t force people to marry if they don’t like it.

As she was thinking about it, the door to the greenhouse swung open without notice.

“Astelle.”

Kaizen, who casually opened the door and came in, was walking to the table.
