As of today, I will abandon my family line.
| 11 | Herbal Powder



헤인스 루시엔
“..I don’t think the herbs will dry out quickly because they absorb water.”


헤인스 루시엔
“I guess I’ll have to grind this to find out..”


아리센 엘리엇
“When will it dry..”


헤인스 루시엔
“If it bites this much... it will take at least a week.”


헤인스 루베트
“..If Philliot were to take over the family before then..”


헤인스 루시엔
“..I’d rather go to a pharmacy..”


아리센 엘리엇
"A pharmacy isn't a trustworthy place. Rumors will spread quickly."


헤인스 루시엔
“There is no way.”


헤인스 루베트
“..The only people who would know what powder is are Philiot and his father.”


헤인스 루시엔
"ha.."


헤인스 필리엇
"father."


헤인스 어본
“What’s going on?”


헤인스 필리엇
“It’s warm tea. Please drink it.”


헤인스 어본
“You could have Michelle do this... how foolish..”


헤인스 필리엇
“...”


The tea my mother enjoyed drinking

Valerian, which induces sleep

*Induces sleep in the name of a herb



헤인스 어본
“..It doesn’t smell good.”


헤인스 필리엇
“It will be effective. It’s made with herbs from a famous pharmacy.”


헤인스 필리엇
“Please eat.”


Avon drinking tea

Lately, I've been feeling a little unwell, so I'm going back to bed.

I fell asleep like that



헤인스 필리엇
“..Father..I don’t think I can get married.”


헤인스 필리엇
“Is this also because I resemble my father..”


헤인스 필리엇
“Father...is the reason you broke up with that woman...the same as mine..?”


That woman

Piliot knew who he meant.

perhaps

It might be someone very close to you...


하인
"Young lady, you should go to sleep. Shall I bring you a cup of tea?"


헤인스 루시엔
"are you okay.."


하인
“Do you have any concerns?”


헤인스 루시엔
“No, Michelle.”


하인
“What’s going on? Just tell me.”


Lucy sits on the bed and watches Michelle closely.



헤인스 루시엔
“Michelle.”


하인
“Yes, my lady.”


헤인스 루시엔
“..that powder in the cupboard..”


헤인스 루시엔
“What is that..?”


하인
"yes..?"


헤인스 루시엔
“What is that powder?”


헤인스 루시엔
“You must know something.”


하인
“Miss, I don’t know much about this.”


하인
“Except that it’s just powder from a pharmacy.”


헤인스 루시엔
“A pharmacy..? Tell me everything you know.”


헤인스 루시엔
"hurry."


하인
“...”

‘It was powder I got from a pharmacy.. I know it well because I brought it..’

‘I just told him that it was the medicine the Duke had asked me to bring, so he wrapped the powder in a cotton cloth and gave it to me.’

‘That’s all I know, miss..’



헤인스 루시엔
"..excuse me."

“Welcome.”


The sour smell of herbs tickled my nose.

A middle-aged man greeted Lucy.


“It’s not often that nobles come here. What brings you here?”


헤인스 루시엔
“..Duke Haines Avon.. says he needs the medicine you gave him last time.”


Then the man looked at me with a puzzled look


“Have you already used up all that medicine?”

“I clearly told you to use it in small quantities..”

“Where did you spend all that?”


헤인스 루시엔
“..I don’t have time to tell you that.”


Then the man went to the cupboard full of herbs and took out some dried grass and flowers.

The words he muttered as he ground him to powder brought shock to Lucy's face.


“For now… why would such a well-off nobleman slaughter livestock?”
