One day, in the Office of the Empress in the Imperial Pce of San Fleuve.


    I see


    Bang!The Empress mmed the textbook shut.


    Falma and Palle gulped.


    They were, after all, the primary and secondary authors of the textbook that she was holding.


    I dont get it


    (Even though its regretful, its to be expected)


    Falma thought to himself.


    Its a medical/pharmaceutical textbook printed by a mimeograph, right? Thats all I can understand


    I wonder if this textbook will be added to the list of new inventions. Itll be added, right? the Empress asked the two who had presented the textbook. Palle anxiously interjected, I dont know if Ill ever get to present anything to Her Majesty in my life again. Let mee! Because the flu was prevalent within the pce, Palle was worried that he wouldnt be allowed to go due to the risks of infection during chemotherapy. However, Falmas sanctuary would keep him safe as long as he was nearby, so they both went to the ceremony.


    Palle, who was feeling the pressure of a once-in-a-lifetime moment, caused Falma to be nervous as well.


    de Medicis brothers, this is an admirable achievement


    Haha-


    Im honored


    ude


    Yes


    The Empress beckoned for the Chief Court Physician, who happened to be present, and handed him the textbook. As usual, he was wearing a ck coat with a ruffled cor.


    As the Chief Physician, evaluate this book for me


    Understood, I shall read it now


    After wrapping up her work with the Secretary of State, the Empress elegantly drank the tea on her desk, then pointed at her stomach.


    Its noon, Im a bit hungry. You must be hungry too, right? Why not eat with me?


    Falma, Palle, and ude were invited to lunch (le Petite Couvert)


    Im honored


    Palle was allowed to eat next to the Empress. It was one of the highest honors which could be received, and he wanted to boast about it for the rest of his life. Falma, who ate with the Empress after every examination, decided not to say anything.
