Baby Pharmacist Princess

I can’t make this argument alone; Grandfather needs to help me out a bit.

I glanced at where Grandfather was sitting.

You enjoyed the delicious wine!

That’s why I did the wine first and the ointment second!

Please help me!

“Cherishe.”

I happily answered when Grandfather called my name.

“Yes, Grandfather!”

“Sell me the recipe for this Uslum wine. I’ll pay you generously.”

…Right now?

Oh! Is this a deal?

I squinted and looked at Grandfather.

But no matter how urgent it is, I can’t just give away the copyright.

“I’ll make it often and bring it to you.”

“Hmm, that’s a shame.”

“And you don’t have to give anything to Cherry.”

Grandfather seemed genuinely interested in the recipe for plum wine. He even let out a grunt of disappointment.

‘But he stepped in for me.’

So, he interrupted Alexandra’s attack.

I tried to put on a very serious and trustworthy expression as I approached Grandfather.

Then, I tapped the floor with my toes!

“But… this ointment is really effective. You’ll see the difference if you use it… you really will.”

“Hmm.”

“So, how about bestowing this benefit on the people under your name, Grandfather…?”

In other words, ‘I made it, but you get the credit’ strategy.

Giving the glory to the Emperor.

It was my favorite method while playing the game.

If you say the Emperor does everything in his name, the opposing factions can’t step in.

‘So please use your power and push this through.’

If Grandfather announced that he would distribute the ointment under his name, even if today’s ointment was taken, the quest would be solved.

“Wait, are you seriously thinking of distributing unverified ointment under His Majesty’s name? Are you out of your mind?”

“Myrden verified it.”

As soon as I answered Alexandra’s words sharply, murmurs rose from all around.

The high-ranking nobles, who knew who Myrden was, widened their eyes.

“Do you mean the genius surgeon from the Imperial Medical Department?”

“If he verified it…”

“And His Majesty doesn’t seem to be stopping it either.”

I wasn’t the only one with ears, so Alexandra also heard how the atmosphere was turning.

She seemed desperate to stop the situation from turning in my favor.

‘No matter what you do, you can’t beat me.’

I put my hand over my mouth and silently laughed so only Alexandra could see.

Ah, it feels so good.

It’s wrong to bully a child, but since I’m only four, I don’t feel guilty.

And considering how many times I faced game over because of Alexandra, I think she deserves much worse.

“Ahem. However, it is not permissible for someone without a license issued by the temple to manufacture medicine…”

The high-ranking priest bravely added a word after noticing the shifting atmosphere.

“Therefore, all the ointment you’ve made should be confiscated.”

Beyond the shoulder of the high-ranking priest, I could see Sihat looking quite amused.

‘Sihat must already know how this will end, right?’

I wish I could know in advance too!

Then I’d have no anxiety at all.

At that moment, Sihat nodded slowly toward Dad. Was Dad going to do something?

“I see. I’ve heard the temple’s opinion.”

“Then please hand over the ointment so I can handle it properly…”

“But.”

Dad abruptly cut off the high-ranking priest’s words.

The elderly priest frowned at the obvious rudeness.

Dad exhaled shortly and quickly, then looked around the audience and continued clearly.

“As of now, I declare the establishment of a new department separate from the Medical Department, called the Department of Health.”

…W-what?

This was truly unexpected?!

“According to the imperial law, the Prince can have private organizations. Just like the White Night Knights are under my command.”

Dad’s tone was firm, and his voice carried an unmatched strength.

If the High Priest were present, there would have been a strong opposition.

But the High Priest had left earlier.

‘Ah, did Sihat deliberately create such a situation?’

To ensure there was no strong opponent against establishing the Department of Health?

When I quickly glanced at Sihat, he smiled slyly and put his finger to his lips.

Shhh.

It’s a secret.

“The Department of Health will be under the command of Princess Cherishe Wynn Castalia, but as she is under ten years old, I will assume the legal responsibility.”

“No, no… this is too sudden.”

“You mentioned the law, so I followed the law. The ointment Cherishe made will be recreated and verified by experts in the Department of Health. If it proves effective, it will be distributed.”

“That is…!”

“Any objections?”

Wow, Dad is amazing!

Dad is strong. The power of Dragon Heart, and his martial strength, is great.

But he doesn’t resort to violence.

I love my Dad, who is not a tyrant.

I love that Dad knows how to follow the law.

“Oh, and the Imperial Department of Health will be an independent entity, separate from the Church’s medical system or the Imperial Medical Department.”

Medical and pharmaceutical.

Health encompasses all those broader concepts.

Protecting lives, preventing diseases, and promoting health.

I admired and admired Dad’s idea so much.

The image is shaped by just a word or two.

Dad placed the Imperial Department of Health above the temple and the Imperial Medical Department in no time.

“Therefore, this ointment will be managed by the Imperial Department of Health. It’s unrelated to your licenses, so you better stop talking nonsense.”

Dad proudly put the ointment I gave him into his jacket pocket.

As I rolled my eyes, I opened my bag and took out spare ointment to give to the nobles I had greeted earlier.

“This is the first ointment made by the Imperial Department of Health. I hope Count Bachman will accept it.”

“Oh, it’s an honor.”

“This is for the Countess’ knees.”

I’m glad I brought a lot.

I smiled widely and wondered who else to give the ointment to.

“Wait, little one. Where’s mine? Don’t tell me you don’t have one for me?”

“I’d be a bit disappointed too.”

At that moment, Gergys and Idsys stepped forward.

I made an ‘oops’ expression.

Come to think of it… I gave ointments only to the Foreign Ministry staff and skipped the twins?

“I’ll give it to you later, later.”

“When later?”

“When the distributed ointments are properly made!”

These are just for promotion, so the twins need to wait.

Dad carefully watched the other ointment jars I was handing out and took out the pearl-inlaid jar from his jacket pocket to stroke it.

It seems… he wants to show it off. Yes.

‘Since a necklace disappeared for that jar, show it off as much as you like.’

Where would I have gotten the money?

I sold one of the hundred necklaces that came as a congratulatory gift for my adoption through Sophia.

It was a pretty pearl jar I bought with that money.

Seeing Dad cherishing it made me happy too.

“No, His Holiness will oppose this! Absolutely! Right?”

The high-ranking priest grabbed Sihat’s shoulder roughly, trying to stop the changing atmosphere.

I frowned at the scene, but before I could intervene, Sihat coolly brushed off the priest’s hand.

It was as if he was shaking off something dirty.

Then Sihat smirked and asked back.

“Why would I?”

“Do you not understand the situation?”

“I don’t.”

“Then just follow what I say! All the priests won’t agree with this!”

“And if I refuse?”

Sihat tilted his head.

His rebellious aura was palpable.

The priests, who had gathered without a leader, were restless.

So far, it seems that making and selling medicine was the exclusive right of the Church, but not anymore.

“Cherishe, the Imperial Department of Health is an early birthday gift from me.”

“I love it so much!”

Creating a whole department because his daughter wanted to do something.

Where else could you find such a Dad?

Being a department under the Prince means Dad will fund everything.

Just like he covers all expenses for the White Night Knights’ salaries, bonuses, armor, weapons, meals, and lodging.

“Hmph!”

When Dad hugged me, Alexandra gave me a fierce look and turned away coldly.

I thought about sticking out my tongue at her again but decided not to.

She behaves like that because she wants her parents’ love too.

She’s a bad kid, though.

So, I have no intention of being friends with her…

‘But the look in her eyes when she saw Dad hugging me, reminded me of the old me, Yoon Chaeri.’

So, I’ll let it slide just this once.

“The ointment smells very good. What’s in it?”

“It looks gentle. Princess, can children use it too?”

I happily answered the flood of questions directed at me.

“It’s made primarily of Calendula Flowers. The rest is a secret! Even babies can use it!”

The Church faction quietly left the party hall at some point.

I briefly waved to Sihat’s retreating figure.

‘January 1st. At the Dragon Shop Street.’

Don’t forget that promise.

And as time passed from the party, it was already the end of December.

On a day when snow covered the world in white.

It had been exactly a week since the ‘Royal Wound and Burn Ointment’ I made was distributed for free nationwide.
