I Reincarnated as a Noble Girl Villainess But Why Did It Turn Out This Way?

Chapter 139 - 140

When I met Earl Freche's youngest son Cornell again, autumn was just about to end. It was around the time when the commotion over summer's incidents was finally dying down.

With only a minimal number of servants, I received Cornell in my plain drawing room and served him black tea, and we got straight to the main point after briefly exchanging pleasantries.

"……That thing you mentioned, is this it?"

He brought out a cream-colored lump with a tense expression on his face. I took it from him, and handed it to Ratoka behind me who was wearing a veil. Ratoka confirmed the aroma for me, and tapped my shoulder. That's the signal that there's no mistake.

"It seems that this is correct. Thank you for your troubles, Cornell Freche. With this, our deal is now complete."

"……I'm glad to hear that. This is a load off my shoulders."

He rubbed his hand over his heart in relief, and kept anxiously looking over at the lump in Ratoka's hands.

"Um, is this really alright? I mean, that's…… it's what caused such an uproar in the royal capital, right……"

"This is the addictive beeswax, so of course it caused that commotion."

"I knew it……"

As I nodded in confirmation, his face paled. I told him that there wouldn't be any problems.

"Starting from tomorrow, this beeswax will become a 'controlled medicine' that can be traded."

"Controlled, medicine?"

"Indeed. A licensed doctor's prescription will be required, but any noble can purchase it. They must acknowledge that side effects may occur, and only take it according to a doctor's instructions. Arxia has decided to regulate this drug and control its supply."

In Arxia, there's laws and a system preventing the use of dangerous drugs, any drugs classified as dangerous would be banned from being manufactured, sold, or taken. While there is a system in place for licensing doctors, the mortality rate remains high because the medical knowledge in this world isn't that advanced yet.

……By the way, Arxia's average lifespan is still higher than the neighboring countries.

Younger noble boys that aren't heirs often go down the path of becoming a doctor, but there's still not enough re

"You've made it quite a lot easier than your previous explanation."

"If you want to know the details, ask your father. I'm sure that you'll probably be deeply involved in the future as well."

At any rate, this will become the main business of his future wife-to-be's domain. More than anyone else, Cornell should go and learn some knowledge from Earl Freche.

"Well, that's true. -Then, this ends our deal. I'm deeply grateful for all your assistance, Lord Kaldia."

"Not at all, same to you."
