Baby Pharmacist Princess

Grandfather gazes at me intently.

I return his stare with equal determination.

Twitch.

At that moment, Grandfather’s tightly shut lips begin to move.

“It’s not entirely a lie, it seems.”

Does he believe me…?

“Your Majesty, I will order that all peanuts be removed from the meal immediately.”

If unsure, it’s best not to eat it at all.

As the attendant bowed and said this, I quickly interjected.

“We’re not sure if it’s just peanuts or all nuts. Let’s remove everything, just to be safe.”

So, to be precise, ‘peanut allergies’ and ‘nut allergies’ should be distinguished.

Considering he enjoys peanuts with beer, it seems like a legume allergy, but we can’t be sure.

To avoid any dramatic reactions, it’s best to remove all nuts.

“Hmm, since it’s something His Majesty enjoys… It might be best to replace all kitchen utensils as well. Even a trace of peanuts on a tool could cause a reaction.”

Grandfather nodded slightly at the attendant’s words.

I sighed in relief and felt a bit more comfortable looking at Grandfather, and then I noticed something.

‘His neck is red.’

A skin rash had appeared.

I immediately reached into my bag and pulled out a small box.

“Here, I got this for you… I brought it from a dream.”

“From a dream, you say.”

“This will help you feel better.”

What I handed him was an antihistamine.

Actually, Grandfather has been out of the human realm for quite some time. That’s why, despite his peanut allergy, he seemed fine eating so many peanuts.

Severe allergies can cause convulsions and fainting, but if it only results in skin rash, itching, or dizziness, that’s fortunate.

“Your Majesty, perhaps you should break it in half and have someone else try it first.”

Loyal Hewitt seemed quite worried.

Anything that goes into the Emperor’s mouth must be thoroughly tested.

Although he trusts his granddaughter, it’s still unsettling to take something she just handed over.

“I do not believe Princess would give you something dangerous, but…”

Hewitt’s concern was valid.

Antihistamines can only alleviate symptoms, not cure the underlying cause.

So, it wasn’t essential for him to take it.

“She is a child who understands the cause of the problem.”

After a moment, Grandfather spoke with a solemn expression.

“When a dragon takes human form, they have two horns. You know this well.”

“I met one in person.”

I grinned and stepped closer to Grandfather. Then, I looked up at him from closer, and then… hug.

I hugged Grandfather’s leg tightly.

“Don’t drink too much.”

“Drink?”

“Not beer, there’s some wine made from cherries. Can I send it to you?”

“How did you know I enjoy beer?”

“The dragon said peanuts go well with beer…”

“Indeed, it would say that.”

Oh, Grandfather’s eyes showed interest.

“I will try this medicine. If it’s poison, my body will naturally expel it. I’ve been curious about the cause of this discomfort… If it’s the food, that explains it. It’s not poison.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Once the Emperor made a decision, there was nothing more the attendant could do.

Grandfather took the small pill without water, and I stayed by his side.

I felt it would be awkward to go back to the sofa.

Grandfather didn’t push me away, so I thought it was okay to stay.

“I received a report that you made something recently. You used Uslum.”

“Gasp, you knew?”

“Is there anything in this castle that I do not know?”

Uh, no.

I nodded in agreement.

‘I didn’t use all the plums, so I still have enough to make plum wine.’

I planned to put the wrinkled plums into a clean jar and pour vodka over them.

I don’t know how the beer in this world tastes, but it might be bland.

‘But if he tastes the clean, crisp plum wine for the first time?’

It’s not wine, but something refreshingly sweet and sour!

I bet he won’t be able to stop drinking it!

“Princess.”

It was then.

The doctor, who had looked at me skeptically earlier, approached me.

I turned my head, wondering why he called me, and saw that his previously stern expression had softened.

“I apologize for doubting you… I should have listened to you first.”

“Oh, it’s okay. Grandfather was worried, so that’s why.”

Even if I were you, I wouldn’t have listened to a four-year-old princess. It’s okay, it’s okay.

Anyway, Grandfather took the medicine, and the peanuts would be removed from the table.

So, the allergic symptoms should subside.

“Even so… I have a temperament that makes me act without thinking when I get excited. My mentor scolded me a lot, but I still can’t fix it. I sincerely apologize.”

“It’s really okay…”

By the way, what’s this doctor’s name?

‘I have to distribute ointment through the medical department anyway.’

As the Emperor’s personal physician, his rank must be quite high!

I should get to know him better.

I quickly decided and smiled as I walked over and gently tugged on the doctor’s coat.

“Hey, what’s your name?”

“I am Myerden Isaac.”

“Myerden Isaac… Wait, are you related to Solip?”

“Yes, Solip, who serves Prince, is my cousin.”

Oh, I thought they seemed similar!

‘He apologized so quickly. I like him.’

Feeling a sense of friendliness, I smiled more genuinely than before.

“But Myerden, do you have a mentor? I heard only the temple issues medical licenses.”

“The license is indeed issued by the temple. You must graduate from the medical theological university established by the papacy to take the medical exam.”

“Yes.”

“But I was a special case. I learned medicine from my mentor first and graduated from university early.”

Ah, he’s a prodigy.

But it must have been frustrating and hurt his pride not to understand why the Emperor was having such symptoms.

“If my mentor were here, he would have figured it out quickly… It seems I am still lacking. I apologize, Your Majesty.”

Oh, he’s starting to dig a hole!

Myrden is cuter than Solip.

I wanted to pat Myerden’s back, but instead, I just held his hand tightly.

“Princess…?”

“I just see things simply because I don’t know much.”

“Are you comforting me…?”

When Myerden asked in a trembling voice, I nodded vigorously. Then, I placed my soft cheek against Myerden’s hand.

“When I grow up, I want to be a doctor. I want to learn from genius Dr. Myerden!”

Bang!

It sounded like something exploded as Myerden’s face turned bright red.

This one is weak to compliments!

“What do you mean, genius! Yes, I did graduate at the top of my class, and yes, I did it early, and yes, I am the youngest to pass the Imperial Medical Department exam, but…!”

“Yes, genius!”

“Genius, how preposterous. That title should be for my mentor, not someone like me who is just… better than most.”

So modest.

Myrden was truly an honest person.

While Myerden and I chatted, Idsys approached Grandfather.

“How do you feel, Your Majesty?”

“The heat is subsiding. The discomfort I felt earlier is gone.”

“It’s an amazing medicine. Given by a dragon… though hard to believe, as her brother, I will trust my sister.”

Wow, the medicine is working!

I turned my head to the conversation and, sure enough.

[♡ Surprise Quest Complete ♡]

Bam-bara-bam!

‘Check Emperor Raerhod’s condition and improve his allergic reaction with appropriate treatment.’ Complete!

A reward of 1,000 gems is immediately given!

Swoosh!

Ah, the sound of accumulating gems is always delightful.

But strangely… the Emperor was looking at the air.

Precisely where my quest window was.

‘Could he see it?’

No way, even if Grandfather knows everything, he can’t see my game quest window, right?

[Current Status: Peanut Allergy (0%)]

Grandfather’s condition has normalized, and now I just need to make plum wine and send it to the palace.

Once that’s done, I’ll have a serious talk with Idsys about finding a way to do what I want in the medical department.

“By the way, I never knew food could be poisonous. Is it different for everyone?”

Myrden seemed excited about this new knowledge.

Well, the concept of allergies became widely known after the 1960s.

In this medieval-like world, it’s not a known concept.

“Yes. It’s rare, but sunlight and water can also cause it.”

“Interesting… I’d love to hear more! What else did the dragon teach you?”

“This is called an ‘allergy’.”

“Allergy!?”

I wasn’t sure if I should use the word ‘allergy.’

It’s the same term, but I decided to call it something else to avoid revealing too much to a game character.

“For example, some people say shrimp is spicy and tingly. Those people have an allergy!”

“You mean shellfish?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Fascinating. What else?”

“Milk!”

“Oh, there’s an allergy to milk too!”

What is this? He’s perfectly matching my rhythm.

I scratched my cheek and raised my finger.

“But I won’t tell you any more!”

“Princess, the information you just shared could save many lives. Please share more of the dragon’s knowledge.”

Myrden looked at me like a surprised meerkat. But I ignored him and ran to Idsys, hugging his waist and hiding behind him.

‘Babies change their minds every second, laughing one moment and crying the next.’

So, it’s not strange to be fickle.

‘Of course, I have my reasons for doing this.’

Grandfather hasn’t left yet.

So, I think I can use Idsys’s support to get what I want.

“Hey, Myerden.”

“Yes, Princess.”

“Do you want to save the people?”

“Of course. That’s why I came to the palace, where freedom is guaranteed. Other places are too restricted by the temple.”

Ah.

The Haphneous Temple issues medical licenses.

So, they can revoke them arbitrarily.

If someone acts against the temple’s interests, they can take away the license.

“But why does the medical department allow the use of opium ointment?”

“Uh, what?”

“People use opium ointment. It’s not very effective.”

Swoosh.
