Only Lathel and Charlotte were in the dining room; however, outside the door, many maids were eavesdropping on them.
Akna saw this scene, sighed, and said: "What the hell are you doing? You dare to eavesdrop on the young master and young lady?"
"Ack! Captain?"
"Hehehe… Captain, we're not eavesdropping; we're eating honey."
Akna was confused when she heard that so she frowned and asked: "Honey?"
"That's right…" A maid immediately said happily, "Captain, you also know how gentle the young master is. He treats Charlotte many times more gently."
"Aww!!" A maid held her cheeks with both hands, her face dreamy as she said: "Young master is so gentle; I really want to be by his side, so I'll hear such sweet words every day."
"You can find someone else to talk to you like that with your beauty; it's not difficult." Akna was annoyed as she spoke.
She didn't understand why, and when these maids began to be infatuated with the young master, an incomprehensible feeling arose in her heart as she feared the worst.
"Huh!" The maid said contemptuously: "The men outside just tell me sweet words because of my beauty. But the young master is different. Even if he doesn't say those words, we still have to serve the young master."
"However… The young master is not only gentle with us. He cooks for us, and he also respects us a lot."
"That's right, that's right… The young master is still 'pure' and he is still saving his first time. I have never seen a noble like?young master."
"Huh! How can you compare our young master with other greedy and lustful nobles? Other male nobles have already tasted women by the age of 14."
"Heh?! It seems... our young master is like a lotus flower in the middle of stinking muddy water."
"Hehehe… the more you talk, the more I want to see what the young master tastes like."
"Oy! Get in line; I also want to 'eat' young master."
Hearing everyone's words, Akna could only hold her forehead and shake her head: "Please calm down."
Hearing the captain speak, the maids all silently looked towards her.
Akna continued: "You should remember what the young master and I said. You should also respect his feelings the same way he respects yours. Understand?"
"Understood, captain." The maids spoke in unison.
Akna sighed; in fact, she completely agreed with what the maids said.
This was the first time she saw such a good man, who was also a noble and treated people well regardless of status.
Akna has performed many assassination missions, many of which targeted nobles with extremely high status.
Of course, to easily carry out the task, Akna also pretended to be the maid of those nobles. Thanks to those opportunities, she also clearly understood how great the difference was between the status of a servant and a noble.
Of all the kind nobles she had seen, no matter how good they were, they couldn't be kind to their servants.
Besides, that kindness was usually a facade to hide their guilt and cowardice.
They are willing to give up hundreds of other people's lives to protect their own lives.
That kindness is just an outer cover to cover up the lies and pettiness inside.
Even though she had never seen Lathel's true feelings, Akna's intuition was telling her that… Lathel was different from other greedy nobles.
Of course, perhaps her intuition could be wrong. But... Akna chose to trust Lathel, her young master.
Besides, Akna also didn't think that Catheryne... no, Ryne's eyes would be wrong.
If Ryne wasn't sure about Lathel, she wouldn't have set up such a big 'stage' to make Lathel the main character of this 'stage'.
Akna shook her head, not wanting to think anymore. She just wanted to do her job well.
…
Outside, on a big road, Alec walked down the street with his hands holding his butt.
His gait was a bit stilted, and his legs were close together. Every step made his face show discomfort due to the wound on his 'daisy'.
Alec walked away, muttering: "Damn it! I could have stayed in the medical room to rest for a few more days, but that damn doctor wanted to trick me."
"If you lie down for one more day, it will increase by 10,000 gold coins. Damn it! Does he consider me a child? He wants to cheat me. Dream on; you can't fool me in your dreams."
Medos felt a bit tired. In fact, the doctor didn't need to dream to make Alec owe 200,000 gold coins.
Alec is not normally poor. If society has a new bottom, he will be the first person to reach that bottom.
He owed Lilith 180,000 gold coins along with four 4-star pills. He also owed the Enchanter Tower doctor 200,000 gold coins.
That's also the reason why, even though walking would make his 'daisy' hurt, he had to do it because he had no money left to ride a carriage.
In his space bag, there were currently only a few ingredients left to prepare medicine, which is the last source of capital for him to be able to repay his debt.
"Damn it, I'm a pharmacist enchanter; I can pay off all that debt easily." Alec muttered.
Medos then sighed and said: "You should think again. Even if you were a pharmacist enchanter, it would be difficult to repay all of that debt."
"Why?" Alec shouted angrily: "Teacher, are you also looking down on me?"
Medos: "…"
He felt that his student, Alec, was like an addict who liked being looked down upon by people.
Medos sighed and explained: "Currently, you can only prepare 1-
star medicine. If you try hard, you can prepare 2-star medicine."
"However, with your current amount of magical energy, you can only prepare a maximum of 5 1-star medicinal pills a day."
"If it's a 2-star medicine, you can only prepare 2 pills a day with your best effort."
"At the current market price, a normal 1-star medicinal pill costs only 1,000 gold coins. 2-star pharmaceuticals cost 3,000 - 5,000 gold coins."
"Alec, how many pills do you need to make to pay off your debt?"
"Besides, the amount of gold coins is not a big problem. The biggest problem is the 4-star medicine you owe Lilith."
"4 4-star pills, do you know how huge their value is?"
After hearing this, Alec gritted his teeth and felt extremely angry. Of course he knew how valuable the four 4-star pills were.
Medos continued: "If we convert those four 4-star pills into gold coins, they are equivalent to 4 million gold coins."
"What?!" Alec was startled: "Wait! I thought each pill would cost 100,000 gold coins at most."
"Are you stupid?" Medos was also so angry that he wanted to slap Alec to enlighten him.
"That huge difference comes from the fact that the raw materials to make 4-star pharmaceuticals are all rare and precious medicinal herbs that you can hardly buy."
"Besides, to make a four-star pill, a good 4-star Pharmacist Enchanter would take at least three days to make one pill."
"However, from 4-star pharmaceuticals onwards, the failure rate when preparing them is more than 50%. That is also the reason why 4-star pharmaceuticals have extremely high prices."
"Finally, pharmaceuticals with 4 stars or higher do not appear in normal purchases rather they are sold in auctions. That's why it's normal for their prices to be extremely high."
After hearing this, Alec wanted to cry. He didn't think that the difference between 2-star medicine and 4-star medicine was so big.
"One more thing?…"
Alec: "…"
You just said 'finally', now you're saying 'one more thing', what do you mean?
Medos said: "I can't help you right now. You can only prepare the medicinal herbs yourself."
"Besides, you should find a way to treat your butt first; otherwise… that wound will be difficult to heal and, in the end, it will become your fatal weakness."
Hearing that, Alec's face became even more unsightly, like a monkey eating a super spicy chili.
"I already know, you don't need to remind me." Alec shouted angrily.
He touched his butt and felt a slight pain. Even though the wound had been treated, if his emotions were strongly agitated, his 'daisy' would be in danger of being torn apart.
However... Now he doesn't have the money to buy more medicinal herbs, so he plans to return to the Montague family to get more finances.
After all… Lathel had saved Malina and given the credit to him, sohe needed to make good use of it.
"One more thing…"
Alec: "…"
"Teacher… you said 'one more thing' for the second time now. I remember you also said 'finally', right?"
"Ah!" Medos said coldly: "Are you questioning me now?"
"Ack!" Alec was startled, he felt that his teacher seemed a bit angry.
And… this was also the first time Alec felt that Medos was truly angry.
Medos didn't care about Alec and continued: "Even though you don't have much money, you gave Rolen 1,000 gold coins, you are really rich."
Hearing that, Alec forced a smile: "Teacher, that's a method to make Rolen more loyal to me."
"Hm?! What do you mean…"
"She is like a donkey, not only do we use the whip to make her obey, but we also need to use the carrot to help her be motivated to carry out my orders." Alec smiled confidently and explained.
"1,000 gold coins is not a big number to me, it's just a grain of sand in the desert. But with it, I can make Rolen more loyal to me, and she'll like me more."
"Hahaha… I think… Now Rolen will be so moved by those 1,000 gold coins that she will cry, and will try to upgrade my adventurer ID card to Golden for me."
Medos: "…"
At this time, Medos determined that his student, Alec, had mental problems.
"You…"
"Wait!" Alec suddenly interrupted Medos' words, his eyes looking forward, where there was a very familiar figure.
"That girl…" Alec saw a girl with black hair, she had a pretty face, and she was wearing a white cloak.
However, on that beautiful face, there was a kind of sadness and despair; her eyes were also wet as if she were about to cry.
"It's the girl with Lathel… apparently she's… Lafien."
