Chapter 27: CH 14.2

“It’s hard for others, but it’s easy for me.”

Janice opened her mouth wide.

Even Zoe tensed up when she realized how wealthy I was.

“As long as I can be the head of this family.”

Of course, there were mountains to overcome to be able to spend that much money.

“Why.. are you willing to…”

Rupert, who was fumbling with his hands, hesitated to continue.

“What do you mean why? It’s for you.”

I nudged Rupert with my finger.

I wasn’t putting Rupert under the protection of Irenberg out of personal interest. His talent bloomed in the underground market because of his past.

But it would be a waste. It would be a significant loss for the kingdom and Rupert personally.

“And it’s also for me. I really need your help.”

Rupert was incredibly stunned.

“You need me?”

Tears welled up around Rupert’s eyes as I nodded.

I held out my handkerchief right away. Rupert took my handkerchief with trembling hands.

“Do you really need me?”

I crossed my legs, burying myself on a sofa backrest that was twice as big as my body.

I wanted to show the composure of a wonderful adult, but my feet were dangling in the air because my body hadn’t yet grown.

Rupert gradually gained his focus. Now, I was sure that Rupert would accept my offer.

His tears-stained eyes were filled with desire and excitement.

“Yes, I will do it!”

I was able to smile brightly as I finally heard his determined and wary voice.

Everything was smooth.

Rupert accepted my offer, and I managed to set up a lab for him. So far, it has been expenditures that my personal allowance could cover.

In half a day, he created a pain reliever with no side effects that I asked for.

The pill, which he made by clumping it together with fingers, looked ugly and smelled terrible. But I knew the effect was guaranteed.

“How do you know if this works?”

Janice was still wary of Rupert.

‘Is she still holding a grudge against Rupert?’

“You shouldn’t take medicine carelessly.”

Janice said while covering her nose.

“Of course, we need to test it.”

I decided to be the experimenter myself.

I had a headache because I couldn’t sleep well yesterday, so it was perfect timing to test painkillers.

“You are going to eat it?”

Janice asked with a trembling voice.

Her worries could be fully understood, but if I didn’t trust Rupert, then who would?

And I couldn’t use it on anyone else as an experiment.

“Don’t worry. I’m confident. All my brothers eat that.”

Rupert stared at Janice. She kept doubting him that he started to feel offended.

“Does he even have brothers?”

Janice avoided talking to Rupert as much as possible.

Of course, the question that she had to ask him was relayed through me. By siblings, he referred to children in slums, not blood-related ones.

It was a daily routine for children who walked barefoot on dirty roads and could not eat properly to get hurt and sick.

The medicine Rupert gave to me now was a medicine he made for the children.

In other words, children who have survived countless times have proven the efficacy and safety of the drug.

“I trust you. That’s why I am going to eat it now.”

I gulped down the medicine like I wanted to prove to him that I trusted him. Rupert’s pupils dilated significantly, perhaps because he didn’t expect me to actually take the medicine.

After that, his big eyes filled with tears.

‘I don’t have a handkerchief, though.’

Rupert, who also cried earlier, turned out to be a man with a lot of tears.

“Do you want to wait in my room until the medicine is effective? You want to see if it works, right?”

Rupert nodded.

He was flustered because he didn’t know where to sit, and Janice pulled him to the sofa with a displeased face.

When I made sure Rupert was sitting on the sofa, I closed my eyes.

The medicine worked in no time.

The heavy pain behind my eyelids disappeared, and the heat I felt on my temple cooled down.

“Oh, it’s nice.”

When my head became clear, I gained my strength.

When I opened my eyes and said that, Janice looked at me like she couldn’t believe her ears.

“It’s real, Janice. I hope you can eat it when you feel your monthly pain. Will it work?”

Rupert nodded up and down.

He must have been anxious about showing confidence in his medicine because Janice doubted him.

“It will work. Trust me and try it.”

I looked like a con artist just now, right? However, Rupert’s medicine worked so well enough for me to recommend it.

“But I wish you could fix the smell. Also, can you make the dose that could relieve not just a mild pain?”

I approached Rupert and asked.

I didn’t bring him here to make my headache medicine. I wanted him to treat Cassion’s disease.

If treatment was difficult to do right away, at least I wanted him to reduce Cassion’s pain.

“Yes, I will give it a try!”

Rupert smiled shyly and answered loudly. He looked just like a big dog.

“Good job, Rupert.”

I reached out closer to him to pat his head.

However, it wasn’t easy to pet Rupert, who was half as tall as me.

As I tip-toed and struggled, Rupert leaned down. As I stroked his hair repeatedly, Janice’s strange expression caught my eye.
