Everyone Was Obsessed With Me After I Became the Youngest Princess Favorite

“Ji, I don’t know right now…”

In fact, she was a little stumped. This was because she naturally became interested in pharmacology while growing a herb garden with Old Man Ted. In particular, Old Man Ted was very interested in how to use herbs as medicines and how to use them as poisons, so he taught in depth how to extract poisons, how to make new poisons, and how to detoxify depending on the type of poison. . There was a difference between poison and medicine, so delicate and precise work was required. The process was more difficult and tedious than she thought, but once she did it, the sense of accomplishment was great and it was very addictive.

‘Of course, Terencium is an information guild, not a criminal dark guild, so I didn’t use poison…’

Still, he has developed things necessary for activities, such as special powder that uses medicinal herbs to prevent sluggishness.

‘Pharmacy.’

Although she was interested in it, she never thought of formally learning it.

“Everyone, get out of here.”

Then the Duke bit people.

“You stay.”

She was about to follow along, but she hesitated. She sat quietly on the sofa following his glance and waited for the Duke’s words with a nervous feeling.

‘Perhaps he’s suspicious.’

It was something she was concerned about from the time she was dealing with Sid Valerie’s business. Not only the work at the banquet, but also the antidote, which she casually mentioned, felt like the work was bigger than she thought. But there were no regrets. Thinking of helping Diana and the Duchess who are good to me, and repaying what she owed to the Duke of Elad, at least a little bit.

“As you may have heard earlier, the herb you found sounds pretty amazing.”

She swallowed and answered.

“Yes…”

“If cultivation succeeds, medicinal herbs as well as medicines will be developed and sold throughout the empire under the name of the Duke of Elad.”

“Oh, that’s nice. The reputation of the duchy will increase.”

“So that’s what I mean. what do you want?”

“Many people praised the duchy… yes?”

She asked in a daze after answering with all her might.

“They say it’s such a precious herb, so you should get what you find. Of course, I don’t know how long it will take to succeed in growing it, but if there is a profit, some of it will of course be received by you.”

She had been thinking about how to overcome the Duke’s suspicion for a long time. She blinked her eyes at the unexpected words. The lucky one was not her, but Duke Elad.

‘Otherwise, Splesia wouldn’t have been growing in the Duchy.’

She just discovered this by accident. She gave some hints, but in the end, it was the Duke of Elad who invested, and it was his people who did the research, so she thought that all the results of success should go to the Duke of Elad…

“You didn’t think you wouldn’t have your share, did you?”

The Duke, who properly interpreted her bewildered expression, shook his head as if he was dumbfounded.

“It’s ridiculous. How can you live in the world being so naive? Anyway, if you need anything, please let me know. The previous offer is also still valid. Whether it’s medicine or magic, if there’s anything you’d like to learn…”

“Yes, what you want!”

She raised her hand at a sudden thought. The Duke’s eyes twinkled at her motivated look and she moved her body forward.

“Okay. What is it?”

“It’s a maid outfit!”

“…what?”

She said it with full sincerity.

“I told the butler several times, but he didn’t pay me because he didn’t have clothes that fit me. So I have no choice but to wear such an expensive dress, but it is uncomfortable to work. Oh, you don’t have to make a lot! I will wash it clean every day and wear it sparingly, so could you make me a couple of sets?”

As soon as she finished her words, the Duke wrinkled his face. The transaction was successful.

* * *

“Lol.”

She stood in front of the mirror wearing the maid uniform given to her by the butler. Since it was meant to be worn by a young servant, there would be no problem with it being two sizes larger considering that she will grow in the future. She really liked the neat black one-piece that fit her body and the maid outfit with a white apron because it was very comfortable. She had worn the Elad duchy’s maid outfit for a mission before, but the feeling was quite different from now. In particular, seeing the pattern of the Duke of Elad embroidered in blue on the right chest area made her feel very strange. Since Terencium was an information guild where security was important, there was no means to reveal the affiliation like this uniform, although there were marks left when accepting or completing a request. There was nothing special about the uniform she wore when she ran the cafe on the first floor of the guild headquarters, so she somehow felt a sense of belonging…

“No!”

What’s so special about this! It’s a pattern that was present in all the clothes of dukes and servants. She quickly shook her head, trying to calm herself down without even realizing it. However, her eyes kept turning to the mirror. She didn’t normally look in the mirror…

“As expected, it is good to have power.”

It was good to tell the Duke. When she made a suggestion to the butler of the duchy several times without shame, the provision of the maid uniform was delayed for one reason or another, but when she asked the Duke, she was made a colonel in less than two days.

“Besides, I made plenty of spares, so I told them to tell me right away if they were a little torn or dirty.”

Still, as a servant, she had to be sensible, and she had no intention of dressing recklessly. She touched the patterned part once again and turned around to prepare to pack her last load. On the bed lay a gym bag and the dress that Diana had worn at the last banquet.

‘I thought I’d have to take off the jewelry and throw it away because it was covered in drinks and food.’

No matter what the Duchess did, the dress looked clean and restored. Originally, she thought it was an expensive-looking dress, but she was just surprised when she realized that the price was enough to make a family lean.

‘Come to think of it, these jewels, I think I could play with them for several months even if I sold them alone.’

Her heart fluttered at the sight of the sparkling jewels, but she didn’t really want to sell them. It’s a couple dress with Diana given as a gift by the Duchess! Besides, she thought it would take her quite a while to raise her own money, but thanks to Splesia, she felt suddenly rich.

‘No, it’s not just a mood.’

Although the value of Splesia was great, the Duke set it up as a reward, which seemed like it would be difficult for her to earn even if she worked as a maid for about 10 years. He also said that when she went up to the capital, she would open a safe in her name at the bank and assign a person to manage the investment and money.

‘Besides, the Duke’s magicians and doctors are all great, so wouldn’t a cure be made soon?’

She didn’t know how much the portion allocated to her would be, but she was reassured by the thought that she would have money to come in steadily. Although, contrary to her plan, there was a link to continue the relationship with the Duke of Elad, but it seemed to be okay since she was not subordinate to the family. She couldn’t hide her excitement and packed her luggage and left the room. When she came out, all the servants were out, just like when she entered the castle with Diana the other day. The difference was that there were fancy carriages, Lexion Knights lined up, and councilors and wizards such as Viscount Bardo and Tellin to go up to the capital together. In the gap, there was also Diana, who was excited about practicing asceticism and went out holding Allen’s hand early, and Jack, who was very nervous. Seeing them all ready to leave made her realize it.

‘At last.’

It was the day we left for the capital.

* * *

“Okay? Was he originally quiet and docile?”

Asking Jack about Lia, Allen scratched his head. Allen had recently developed a close relationship with Jack, who had recently become an apprentice knight, through several fights.

“I’m not a talkative person, but… I don’t know if he’s quiet.”

He seemed lively when caring for Diana, and fearless when dealing with squires bigger than him. Besides, the way she spoke that stimulated Syd Valerie was also not the kind of talk of an 8-year-old. Hearing Allen’s murmur, Jack also bit his mouth shut. 

When she was in daycare, Lia was always a withdrawn child. Like a fool, she couldn’t say a word even if someone else took what belonged to her.

‘So I was in charge of cleaning the director’s office, which all the children put off.’

Lia’s recent appearance was somewhat different from what he knew. But in fact, Jack had a pretty accurate idea of Lia.

Because the nursery school collapsed, Lia joined the beggars group, which made her a more timid character, and even after she joined the guild, she didn’t get along well with her peers. Her guild officials, who felt sorry for her, told her about her and taught her how to live. For example, how to impatiently feed a person who ignores her, or how to easily buy other people’s favor with tongue-in-cheek words. Besides, she broke it to make fun of the blunt master and made the words ‘handsome, cool, the best!’ stick to her lips. Unaware of any pranks under the guise of her training, the naive Lia would very often embarrass her master and give her subordinates her joy and pleasure. Thus she concluded that Jack, unable to imagine that Lia had changed her personality over the years with her elderly officers, simply did not know her very well.

“I don’t know either. Actually, that’s all I’ve said to Lia a few times.”

“Okay…?”

Hearing Jack’s answer, Allen narrowed his eyes. She said they had been in the same nursery school for years, and they weren’t close, let alone close, if all she had said a few times. But that kid picked Jack like that and asked her father to call him to the knights.

“…Is it because of her face?”
