Need Meds

Chapter 29 Need Meds

Selvi starts to talk about what happened at the orphanage after she had calmed down.

"When we arrived at the orphanage earlier, we saw many soldiers escorting a carriage and standing in front of the orphanage. From the emblem I saw on the side of the carriage, I think it was Lord Llyne's carriage, the ruler of this city. Then we approached the orphanage and saw Lord Llyne and his butler talking to Aunt Mel."

"From what we heard, it seems like Lord Llyne asked aunt Mel about sickness and medicines. After we heard that Depa and the others asked me to see you as soon as possible because we remembered what you said before not to tell anyone about the medicine. But judging by the number of soldiers who came with Lord Llyne, I am very sure Aunt Mel could not refuse what Lord Llyne asked her. That's why I quickly headed here while Depa and the others tried their best to hold them back until I got here first to tell you about this."

"Did they use violence there when they asked questions?" I asked Selvi after hearing her explanation.

"I don't think so, because I didn't hear any kids crying and there was no fear on Aunt Mel's face, they seemed to be just having a discussion."

"Its a good news if they didn't use any violence, I don't want my problems to endanger you all. Even though Count Llyne knew about this medicine now it's not a problem. Previously, I said not to tell anyone because I didn't had many medicine left, but now I have it. In fact, I will also sell this medicine later because I just received new supplies from my friend yesterday, he actually has been in this city for a few days to test this new medicine which will be sold through me and Argus."

"So you don't need to worry, I have prepared everything. Next time if there is a situation like this and you are in danger, I want you to put your safety first."

'It seems like I can trust Count Llyne because of how he doesn't use his power to get what he wants by force. No no, I'd better be more careful dealing with nobles, they have similar nature with politicians.'

Selvi looks much better after hearing my explanations.

After we chatted for a while, I saw from a distance there was a group of people moving towards here.

"Looks like Count Llyne's group is coming."

"Will you be alright Nine?" Selvi panicked again after seeing that group.

"Nothing will happen, you calm down Selvi. Me and Count Llyne have a good relationship." I convinced Selvi.

That group then stopped right in front of Le Réseau, and I saw the emblem of the Llyne family that I had seen very often in this city.

'Count Llyne seemed to be in a hurry, after she got information from Aunt Mel she immediately met me.'

"Good night Nine, there are a few things I want to ask you." Count Llyne greeted me after getting off from carriage.

"Welcome sir, please. Forgive me because this place is a bit messy." I welcomed him and lead him upstairs.

"No problem, we also come here suddenly at night like this. Is this your girlfriend?" Count Llyne asked after seeing Selvi.

"Oh, this is Selvi. She who helped me run all of my business in this city, without her I would be in trouble." I introduce Selvi.

"It's an honor to meet you, Lord Llyne, my name is Selvi." Selvi introduces herself nervously.

"Selvi, can you bring the wine we stored downstairs?"

"Of course Nine." Selvi then goes down.

Count Llyne started talking after Selvi left. "I just visited an orphanage to ask a few questions. Earlier I received a report from one of the soldiers who often patrolled that area, he reported that in this orphanage no one was affected by the disease as suffered by other people who lived around there. I think it's a miracle if they can't get infected by this disease, or maybe they have a cure for this disease. That's why I decided to go there to make sure what really happened."

"After speaking with the head of the orphanage, she told me that the children there had previously experienced this disease. But now they have recovered thanks to medicine given by a merchant, actually she was little hesitant to answer after I asked her who that merchant was, she then agreed to answer and I knew that person was you, Mr. Nine. Before that, I also went to two families who have recovered from this disease to ask for their information after the soldiers on patrol reported the same thing, they told me about a bird-head-doctor who giving them medicine. But finding someone whose identity is unknown is very difficult, that's why I prefer to see you."

"I want to ask you, do you have the medicine? I will buy it at whatever price you ask for." He asked seriously.

"Count Llyne, I have the medicine. You don't need to pay for it, all I want is protection from you. I will sell this medicine to all people in this town to solve this pandemic. Because I will sell it cheaply, I will cause the doctors and other drug merchant in this town to be angry. I'm sure they will try to stop it, even some of them will try to steal it. I don't want people like that to buy medicine from me and sell it at higher price later."

"I want your protection from people like this, especially if they are from noble families. I can't handle it if they are nobles." This is an excellent opportunity to ask for protection from the most powerful person in this region.

"Alright, I'll give you my protection as long as you sell this medicine. I just want you not to make the nobles queue up together with ordinary people to buy this medicine."

"Of course not, sir, I will meet them myself if there any noble family who needs this medicine. Do you also need this medicine Count Llyne?" I asked him, i just want to make sure.

"That's right, Liz and Cyra fell ill a few days ago. I have bought medicine from the most famous doctor in this town but none of it managed to heal them. That's why I met you after knowing what happened at the orphanage. Can you give them the medicine Nine? I can't see them in pain every day. "

"Of course sir, let me take the medicine first and then we can go there." I entered my room to take the medicine that I kept before. Then we took a carriage ride to the Llyne family residence in hurry.

There I gave two packs of medicine to one person so that they can heal faster. I also explained to the people there how to take this medicine by dissolving it with water.
