" ???"
" Bruh , Panacea"
" Oh that Goddess of health or something "
" Yes , finally Its pretty common in The Arielle Empire "
" That's a problem , becomes to accessible Hard to monopolise "
" Its only found in the North of the Arielle Empire in , the Bleu Marquessate "
" Then how is it common ?"
" It grows like weeds there "
" . . ."
"Hydrancea , We can do this !" Lancelot said , he knew very well hydrancea had many Ideas and Plans to put into Motion , yet none were ongoing and It could be his chance to prove to Hydrancea he was not a bastard of lily or whatever the heck that even means .

" Are you sure about that ?"
" yes , very much so . Anyways since I want to Speed up this operation I Gathered enough Information to Put the Marquess in Jail "

Lancelot was Staring at Hydrancea , His face slowly turning red as a tomato.
" So explain Buddy "
" Well , to be frank man's a human trafficker "
" Wow everything's easy these days "
" And his favorite after time is kidnapping imperial maids "
" . . . "
" Yes , He kidnaps them "
" So like no one in the Imperial family Questioned sudden disappearances of Maids ?" Hydrancea asked
" Nope , He has Dolls in the Palace "
" And no one questioned it ?"
" 20 years ago or so a Detective was found snooping around , when caught she explained that her sister had gone missing after coming to the Imperial Palace and that she had been Trying to find her . But her claims were quickly Nodded of as Lies and was exiled "
" Exiled to where exactly ?"

" Forensic Anthropologists exists ?"
" Nope , one of a kind Probably like one us Maybe from the 90's ?"
" yes its is possible "
" So when we get the Panacea , then what ?"
" We just Dry it and add it to water It just becomes gooey , Its transparent and smells like Vanilla "
" Any disadvantages ?"
" If the dried powdery version is consumed in large doses then . . . "
" Then ?"
" Que the Panacea Drug Pandemic !"
" Crap , so then we should make sure The dried Version isn't Sold right ?"
" Making it illegal ain't gonna help "
" Making it Illegal with extreme Consequences Gonna help a little bit "

" Young master , why exactly are we supposed to use these dead bodies " Edward asked
" You said Bodies brought back by Necromancy retain Human characteristics right ?" Lancelot asked
" Yes , young master "
" Does that mean If I were to test medication on them , It would show the same results as on a living human right ?"
" Well it might vary with the soul not being in the body anymore , the body will decompose rapidly , a cold curse can fix that "
" Well then Edward what are you waiting for ?"
" My Power to recharge "
" Well then make it faster " Lancelot demanded
" I cannot Control the Natural flow of mana in my body "
" Well if you are able to be hypercompetent while you take car of my brother then It is possible to control the Flow mana right ? Aamon ?" Lancelot Said again in the snarkiest Voice in the Entire multiverse
