Chapter 243: Countess, Please Do Purchase It
[A/N: At the end of every month, I’ll be mentioning the Top 3 Golden Ticket donators and the Top 5 Power Stone donators in the Author’s Note! Thank you all for the support! ❤️]"Actually, I have a medicine I’d like to recommend to you, Baroness von Kirchhoff."
I casually pulled a wine glass out of my mana bag. The baron and baroness both stared at the bag like it was a magic trick. Oops... I thought.
Let’s get back on track.
"Her Grace the Duchess of Veles has already tried it, so you can see the effect for yourself. This is a rejuvenation medicine that works only on women."
I slid the glass closer. The baron immediately exploded.
"What nonsense!! We’ve heard every scam in the book, but I’ve never seen the real thing! With debts like ours, what kind of new ambassador pulls off a scam like this?! It’s pathetic! Marie Kingdom’s talent pool must be dried up already! Hahaha!"
He laughed so hard it was painful to watch. Of course he doesn’t believe it. I would have laughed too if I were him. Same as those TV shopping infomercials.
But the baroness wasn’t laughing. She looked half-suspicious, half-curious. She couldn’t just dismiss it outright.
"Do you really think this works?"
Her voice was sharp. She was asking out of pure curiosity, even if she didn’t believe it.
"Everyone’s different, of course. But the maids who served the Duchess—especially Elle—have already confirmed the effect with their own eyes. So the only way to see it is to ask Her Grace the Duchess herself."
I looked up at her with puppy eyes.
"Yes, I suppose. I’ll ask her when I have time."
Still not buying it, I thought. But I could see the tiny spark in her eyes! The baron was practically waving his hand: Don’t bother, it’s a waste of time. That only made the baroness’s interest flare even hotter.
"Also, this medicine can only be produced in very limited quantities. Her Grace only allows it to be sold to people she personally recommends. You’re the first one. She’s already promised to introduce it to the Queen. I brought it straight from Her Majesty’s table!"
