<span>In her past life, she was critiqued with the same lines.


    <span>But she couldn’t reply the same way as she did then.


    <span>“It’s difficult for me to study under your guidance, but… would you mind enlightening me on some matters while you’re staying here?”


    <span>“No, of course I don’t mind. I’m still learning myself and there’s a lot I don’t know.”


    <span>“Thank you. Then, Evan-sama will be my ‘teacher’.”<span>


    <span>“Teacher. Hahaha, that’s funny.”


    <span>Rishe pondered while Michel was smiling at her.


    <i><span>The question is, what did this doctore to Garkhain for? If it was for that ‘medicine’…</i>


    <span>A sensation, akin to frustration, crept into her chest.


    <span>But if it was for another matter; she didn’t want to contradict that by asking him something unnecessary.


    <span>Perhaps, he genuinely tagged along under Kyle’s orders. While she was considering various potential circumstances, Michel’s gaze returned to the field.


    <span>“By the way, my student, back to my first question, may I ask you something?”


    <span>“Sure, what is it?”


    <span>“The nts growing in this field are out of my field of expertise. So I don’t know that much about them. I’m just guessing–”


    <span>Michel said as he sucked on the scented cigarette he was holding between his fingers.


    <span>“Are you, by any chance, going to serve Kyle a dose?”


    <span>“…”


    <span>He said he didn’t know much about them, but that didn’t stop him from calmly seeing through their intended use.


    <span>Thanks to that, the knight guards beside her looked at her in astonishment.


    <i><span>Even if it’s his field of expertise, Teacher won’t say ‘I’m an expert’. [“I don’t know everything, so there’s no way I can say I understand everything perfectly.”]</i>


    <span>He was still the same in this aspect.


    <span>No, this Michel was the Michel before Rishe knew him, so it might be wrong to say that he was the same as ever.


    <span>“Err, Teacher…”


    <span>Rishe cleared her throat.


    <span>“I need to consult you about that as soon as possible.”


    <span>This was a great opportunity.


    <i><span>I’m sorry, Teacher. But now that I’ve met you, let’s work for Prince Kyle!</i>


    <span>****


    <i><span>Although I said that…</i>


    <span>The development that Rishe had brought upon herself made her want to clutch her head in both hands.


    <span>They went to the main castle’s reception room. It was a bit narrower room than the one they used during the day.


    <span>In that room were Rishe, Michel, the knight guards, and Kyle, who had been summoned.


    <i><span>I never thought I’d meet Prince Kyle all of a sudden.</i>


    <span>Kyle sat upright on his chair, and lookedpletely bewildered, but he politely greeted Rishe.


    <span>“Thank you for a wonderful evening, Lady Rishe. No words can express my euphoria for having the good fortune of seeing you twice in one day. …”


    <span>“Your Highness Kyle, please don’t be rmed. Be at ease to speak your mind.”<span>


    <span>“Then, I’ll take your word for it. Michel, what on earth are you doing here?”


    <span>Kyle looked at Michel, who was sitting beside him with a troubled look on his face. Michel smiled at him and gently answered, “I found this amazing girl in the courtyard. She has something beneficial, so I wanted to introduce her to you as soon as possible.”


    <span>“Mind your words. Thisdy is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Garkhain’s betrothed.”<span>


    <span>“Oh, really? But she became my student just now.”


    <span>“Student?”


    <span>“Yeah. That’s right.”


    <span>“…?”


    <span>When Kyle looked at her askance, Rishe bowed in apology.


    <span>She couldn’t help but apologize as if she were Michel’s rtives – a remnant of her life as his student.


    <span>“To put it simply, this girl is well versed in pharmacy. I think the medicine she’s concocted is going to work for your body.”


    <span>“Medicine? Lady Rishe did?”


    <span>“It was a surprise. I heard that you studied with a master from Renfa. <span>From what little I’ve heard about him, he was a master who seemed to get along with others pretty well. Right, Rishe?”


    <span>“Ahaha…”


    <span>She dodged Michel’s question with a smile. Michel continued regardless of it, “She has an herb that’s outside my expertise, but I still have an idea of its medicinal properties. It certainly will be effective, and the side effects aren’t a hindrance to daily life. By all means, I think Kyle should take it and we’ll experiment with it.”


    <span>“Teacher, you can’t ‘experiment’ with the Prince of a kingdom!…”


    <span>“Huh? My mistake. Common sense is troublesome, isn’t it?”


    <span>After a momentary pause, Michel looked at Kyle, who had an indescribable look, and smiled at him.


    <span>“But I sincerely wish Kyle would get better soon.”


    <span>“…”


    <i><span>Ahhh, Teacher, the way you put it…</i>


    <span>Kyle was way too serious, and had a sincere heart.


    <span>He couldn’t refuse others’ goodwill due to his sickly physique, and he has a strong awareness of the inconveniences it caused.


    <span>“I get it.”


    <i><span>Ahh~</i>


    <span>Sure enough, Kyle seriously nodded.


    <span>He was grateful to Rishe, but was at the same time, worried.


    <span>“Your Highness Kyle, are you sure?”


    <span>“This is the medicine that our country’s topmost schr vouches for and wants to try. I’m prepared to do everything in my power. It would be a godsend, if it means new possibilities will arise here.”


    <span>After that, he added artictely, “Above all, the medicine prepared for me by a goddess-like figure, will certainly be effective to some extent.”


    <span>“… Then, we’ll prepare from now on…”


    <span>Rishe gave him a distant look, and replied.
