Still young.

I don’t know anything about the world.

Because I haven’t learned enough, I don’t know what happens in reality.

I have never experienced the scorching hot sun or the cold wind.

The reality that I know is only beautiful, and shadows do not reach it.

I grew up like a fool, receiving only sunlight instead of shade.

I grew up taking for granted the nutrients that others gave me.

That’s why I don’t know anything.

Just like a flower in a greenhouse.

That’s how I grew up.

Flora now knows that that is who she is.

I took out a book I didn’t want to read and started reading it.

I was able to fill in the missing knowledge.

I sucked myself up to see what the real nutrients were.

So now I know.

What is the difference between a search and a search warrant?

It wasn’t an order given to the family.

If it was Carcein, an arrest warrant should not have been issued.

The older sister’s choice was really strange.

But Flora didn’t give up.

He didn’t push it off like before, saying he didn’t want anything complicated.

I started to think a little about how to solve the problem I was facing.

There was no trace left, but there was nothing left by Carcein.

But what was left in my brother’s room were ointments that had never been used.

There was.

Anyone who knows anything about Carcein’s whereabouts.

Flora went to find the man.

“Shaden met Karsane, right? Before me and my sister.”

“…Why do you think so?”

“The stock of medicines in the pharmacy is different. However, there are no prescriptions left.”

Flora continued, picking up a specific potion.

“There’s only one person in my family with a rare disease. And the medicine that prevents that disease is gone.”

The medicine to treat the disease that Karsain is suffering from, and the prescription that is running out. Even the number of medicines in stock has changed.

It was a clear contradiction. As the Duke’s personal physician, he always had a prescription for the medicine he prescribed, but there had never been a case where the stock count changed without the prescription.

This is because detailed records must be kept to prevent misuse and abuse of drugs and to quickly prevent side effects in case of incorrect prescriptions.

Moreover, it was none other than Shayden himself who gave this order as a member of parliament.

These were the instructions he had taught Flora and told her never to forget.

‘…You have studied well, Miss Flora.’

For Shayden, who had never told a lie like this in his life, he was too weak to be a criminal.

Shayden, whose skills had been completely destroyed and he couldn’t even gamble, didn’t hide it any longer.

“I won’t make excuses. It’s true that I gave you that medicine.”

“…”

“Before leaving the workshop, I wondered if it would be possible to treat the rare diseases that many of you suffer from outside. So I used it to prepare a new medicine and gave it to you.”

He bows his head.

“If you punish me, I will accept the punishment as much as you want, my lady. Give me the order.”

He went against the Duke’s family and betrayed the Duke’s family.

It was none other than the Duke’s personal physician who released Karsene against the Duke’s will, who was desperately searching for him.

Flora, who had directly proven the contradiction, would not be surprised if Shayden was punished severely here.

But she was no longer a naughty brat.

“…I don’t like that. I don’t want to hurt anyone anymore.”

If it were like before, I would have tried hard to punish him.

In the face of evil, he would have severely punished those below him for deceiving him.

After making things worse, she would pressure her sisters to give her a heavier punishment.

Those figures disappeared without a trace.

Instead of turning away, I opened the book and read the passages, and that’s how I came to know the world.

Flora said, wiping away the tears that were welling up in her eyes.

“I know that too. It’s not anyone else, but I’m the one who hurt Karsin the most…”

“…”

“I only did the worst things. Ugh, I ignored Karcein’s feelings and only thought about what I wanted. That’s why… That’s why I didn’t even know Karcein was so sick…”

-Sniff.

“But now I know. I know how bad I’ve been. I know that the bad things I did to kick Karsane out of the dukedom were really putting his life in danger… So, ugh. Help me, Shayden.”

The tears that had been welling up in my eyes fall in drops.

Flora took the newly made potion out of her pocket and showed it to him as a request.

“Now, in search of Karcein, they are going to scatter Kelvia berries to cause allergic reactions… Since everyone in the empire knows this, they are going to buy a lot of Kelvia berries and block all the paths…”

-Sniff.

“I, I just figured it out. I made a medicine that can completely prevent Kelvia allergies. I finally made it… I want to tell you…”

-Sniff.

“Can’t you just tell me where you went…? I really want to tell this to my brother…”

With tears in her eyes and a sobbing voice.

Please do so.

The level of Kelvia allergy that Carcein suffers from is so high that it is not easy to make a drug that can resist the allergy, let alone alleviate it.

Complete prevention means that a drug has been developed to resist the disease before it even occurs. It means that a treatment that had not been developed before has been created.

Is that really true?

Isn’t it true that you lied to meet Karsine?

You might think so, but…

Perhaps Flora really did create a cure, not a palliative, for Kelvia allergies.

She studied and studied steadily. Shayden saw with his own eyes that Flora yawned for days on end, holding a pen and opening a book. It would not have been strange if such results had come out at any time.

But unfortunately, Shayden doesn’t know anything either.

“…I’m sorry, I don’t know where you went either. I just gave you some medicine and saw you off.”

“…”

Large drops of water flowed down from his eyes.

Those tears are probably genuine.

It would not be fake tears that were shown to embarrass Karsain.

Although he once tormented Karsine terribly, he must have deeply reflected on his mistakes and is clearly aware of them.

This is because he accepted Karsin as his family, using the title of “big brother” that he never acknowledged.

Flora, of all people, was the one who wanted to expel Karsine the most.

As a mere physician to the Duke’s family, I can do nothing.

But I can suggest another way to solve this situation.

“As the young lady said, if you suffer from severe Kelvia allergy, it will affect your sense of smell. There is no one in the empire who does not know that the young master suffers from this disease, so they will try to block the way. Then, why don’t we try to interfere with this a little?”

“…?”

“The young lady herself wants to create a way for the young master to escape. She wants to create a so-called safe zone.”

“…Ah!”

Flora’s tears suddenly stopped.

***

When we entered the Ileor mines once again.

It clearly said that the achievement level would increase depending on the survey scale.

▶Object found.◀

▶Would you like to investigate and confirm?◀

The status window clearly used to display this message.

Objects that exist all over the abandoned mines with messages telling you to investigate. You can tell at a glance that they are placed there as if they are telling you to check them out.

But, when you actually check it.

▶Item found.◀

This message keeps popping up in the object, but the achievement level doesn’t increase.

Just looking at this makes it seem like they’ve done some research.

Then shouldn’t the numbers go up?

no.

[Current achievement: 28%]

The achievement rate initially stopped at 28%.

Yeah, that was the problem.

No matter how many objects I examine, the values don’t increase.

It is not right to check all objects haphazardly.

Even if you were to search for traces of the Kingdom of Wederos in the abandoned mines, there would be so many that you wouldn’t be able to tell what they were.

There may be other conditions.

I went back to the beginning.

Even though it took time, I looked into it step by step.

Using all the information available.

“…Come to think of it, I thought this abandoned mine was a place where entry was prohibited.”

-This place is under a no-trespassing order! This mine was declared off-limits! Did you forget that?

Monen had told Mack that.

And that’s not all.

They even yell at me, saying that I’m blinded by money and about to step into a place where I have no information.

Even among the workers, it was known that there was no information inside.

But in my eyes…

▶Ileor Abandoned Mine Field◀

[ Risk: None ]

Not at all, it doesn’t look like that.

“There were a few demons, but they should have been enough to eliminate them… Isn’t it more strange that there is no information?”

That means…

I left the objects behind and headed down a path that led to a completely different place.

Then, as expected, the status window displays a message.

▶Achievement level increased.◀

[ Current achievement: 29% ]

“That’s what it was.”

The laborers didn’t say those words for nothing.

It’s strange that I’ve never set foot there, and it’s strange that I have no information about it.

That is, what this episode wants to do is mapping, not finding objects.

“Now that we know the answer, let’s get moving quickly.”

Once you find the answer, you can’t stop.

I drew a map, looking for new paths and finding them again, leaving behind scattered objects.

It quickly gained momentum. It was a bit confusing because it was so connected like an anthill, but it didn’t take long for the map to be completed.

-Tiring!

▶Current achievement rate is 99%.◀

▶Since the criteria has been met, you will be automatically guided to the remaining location.◀

Just like what I saw when I first set foot here, the status window displayed the same symbol of the Kingdom of Wederos.

“…There’s a symbol of the Kingdom of Wederos here too.”

If you look at it this way, it doesn’t make sense.

“No. Now is not the time to be discussing such things.”

There is no back anyway.

No matter what reward appeared here, I had to open this door.

-Squeak.

“…was waiting.”

A man turns around as soon as he opens the door.

For a moment I was on guard, thinking I was being pursued.

“You don’t have to be careful. I’m not here to chase you.”

You didn’t come to the wrong place.

But that doesn’t mean you can feel at ease.

“How do you know I’m being chased?”

“That’s right, I’m the prophet of Wederos. I’m Veneris.”

“…what?”

My mind suddenly became confused.

Is this the prophet that Pollux and Talphon spoke of, and whom the Empire of Pheselus also knew well?

“Nice to meet you. Karsain Bagrand. No.”

-chuck.

“I think it would be better to call him Kim Min-hyeok.”

He was showing me his name written exactly three characters on a piece of paper.

-Tiring!

▶I’ve filled all the achievements!◀

▶We provide players with the secrets of this world as a reward!◀
