The stone well, contaminated with the poison of the spirit, was filled with dirt and became completely flat ground.
There, the wizards sent by Natasha are trying to stop the contamination from spreading further.
I was pouring out purification magic.
I also called an expert I knew. The poison was a product of potion alchemy, so I called it potion alchemy.
Potion would be the most knowledgeable person in this field.
The person I had hurriedly summoned, even using the Princess's seal, was none other than Rahman of the Green Potion Workshop.
The Princess' Seal allowed even a commoner like Rahman to use long-distance warp portals.
Rahman, who arrived in half a day, created a potion that not only purified water as expected, but also cured mana stagnation.
I, whose workload has been greatly reduced was very happy. As expected, the position of Princess meant that I didn't have to do the little things myself.
I approached Rahman, who was pouring a cleansing potion into the contaminated area.
He felt extremely embarrassed when I picked up the potion and started pouring it.
“How long do you think it will take to recover?”
“It’s just the opinion of a lowly drug dealer, but since the area is small, it’s not sustainable. If we manage it as an enemy, I think it will take about 20 years for recovery to be complete.”
“I’m worried because the contaminated area is right in the middle of town. Can’t you bring it up a little bit?”
“I am sorry to inform you, but the resilience of the land in this area has weakened, so anything more is difficult.”
“Hmm, then how about planting something like a purifying plant?”
“That, that... I think something like the legendary ‘World Tree Branch’ might be effective.”
Although they knew each other, Rahman, a commoner, had a hard time with me.
Fearing that the answer was impossible would upset the royal family, it was clear that he had said it around the legend.
I poured the rest of the potion in my hand onto the floor.
“Thank you for your hard work, Rahman.”
“Oh, it is not something to be concerned about. I am honored to be used in Your Highness’s work.”
I was having a hard time with the monopoly until a little while ago
Rahman expressed his opinion to the point that it made you wonder if he was the right person.
Those were encouraging words. The corners of my mouth curved slightly.
“I’m glad you think so.”
After parting ways with Rahman, I went to my quarters in the barracks.
As I sat down at the desk, Peony rubbed my shoulder. Her gentle touch seemed to take away some of my fatigue.
“Your Highness, wouldn’t it be better for you to rest in bed? I could hardly sleep last night. You were sleeping, right?”
“I’m okay because I slept well on the way to and from the carriage.”
Peony seemed to know I would say that and said more than that.
She didn't try to persuade me to go to sleep. Instead, she handed me a refreshing, sky-blue potion.
“Huh? What is this?”
“While His Highness was visiting the valley, I asked Mr. Haviol to do it for me. I asked for a fatigue recovery potion. It is a safe potion that is already on the market, and he recently made one that is better for my body. They even strengthened the catalog. Please try it.”
“Oh, really? Give it to me.”
If it was Rahman's work, I could believe it. I poured the sky-blue liquid into her mouth.
Surprisingly, the effect was immediate, and I felt as if I had taken a short nap and recovered.
“Is this okay?”
“In addition to recovering from fatigue, it is also good for curing hangovers, boosting immunity, improving eye health, and improving concentration.”
“There is no such thing as a panacea. Should I keep some in the palace so that I can drink it sometimes?”
When I smiled and handed over the empty bottle, Peony said one more effect of the medicine with a proud face.
“Oh, by the way, it’s also good for men’s stamina. This is an effect that was added recently as its efficacy was enhanced. Then I will make sure to stock the palace with plenty of them.”
“Uh, uh..."
Now that I look at it, it's clear that he had recently added a bit of Stone Worm's guts to enhance the effect.
When Peony left with the empty bottle, only I and Michael remained in the barracks.
Michael had an indifferent expression on his face as usual. I looked back at him and spoke softly.
“I’ll drink it all. Don’t worry.”
“I can ask for specific reviews, I think I should drink it once.”
“What if I said that you don’t need to drink that?”
“Isn’t it already rumored that the Princess’s stamina is far superior to mine? That’s impossible.”
"Ha..."
Somehow, it looked like a self-inflicted wound, so I touched his forehead.
Peony was too attentive in this regard, which was embarrassing.
Michael wants to comfort me, said.
“It’s not a weakness, it’s just a way to boost your energy, so it shouldn’t be a big deal.”
“Yes, the thing about medicine is that they make it up and sell it while claiming that it has effects that don’t actually exist. Among the potion merchants in the capital, there is probably no one who has not sold a drug that is said to be good for stamina.”
“It is indeed the imperial capital where the palace is located.”
“...I am ashamed as a member of the royal family.”
At that time, Cadeline came into the barracks. She asked about the problem of supplying drinking water.
It was to tell.
“We continue to bring water from the Rasetora River with a magical flying machine. It is taking a long time to keep up with the demand. Mining work has also stopped to prevent losses.”
“It seems serious.”
“So, I ask you, is it possible to obtain water by magic?”
I shook my head.
“The opposite of magic is nature. The air in this area is already dry. In a place like this, if you collect water recklessly, the village will face headwinds for several months and it may not rain even during the rainy season.”
“The crops I planted with great effort might dry up and die. In that case, I guess I’ll have to endure thirst for now.”
Cadeline made a gloomy face. But this time, I came up with a solution.
“It’s okay. If you don’t have water, you can just drink milk.”
"Yes?"
It was like saying, "If there's no bread, I'll eat cake." What was that saying coming out of the Princess's mouth?
Are you saying that it's not even a stopgap measure?
“Well, is it okay to accept more than a hundred goats? For now, I will go to the Baron’s castle. There’s no way we can afford to provide this level of support... Ah!”
Cadelin realized this to herself as she spoke. It was obvious that these goats were sponsored by Eve in Linricia's name using her own money.
“Unlike a waterway, a goat pasture is something that can be solved with just a plausible justification. I pushed through with the authority of the Princess.”
You can do what you want. That's why power and wealth are really good things.
“Such a plausible excuse. Ah, Your Highness..."
When she thought of Eve, who pretended to be a stupid politician that she could drink milk instead of water elsewhere, Cadeline became heartbroken.
“You gave up all your prestige and face to give to the village.”
“...No, I didn’t throw everything away.”
It was when I, who had become embarrassed, coughed in vain. Cadeline looked at the herd of goats and expressed some concern.
“Raising livestock is something unprecedented. Is that okay?”
“It’s okay. Once the water bridge is completed, there will be enough water. If you call Rahman and sprinkle some Sand Worm Fertilizer and Purification Potion on the pasture, the grass will grow abundantly.”
“You won’t have to worry about feeding the goats.”
“Yes. Livestock farming won’t be too difficult. And if you do it properly, milk is essential for cooking. It is necessary to make cheese and butter.”
You can also get fluff to stuff into clothes and blankets during the winter.
Although goats have less milk and wool than cows, they have the universal advantage of doing both simultaneously.

It was when Cadeline began to doubt his own ears.
Meeeee
Suddenly, a goat's bleating was heard.
“You came just in time.”
I took a bewildered Cadeline out of the barracks.
Baroness Panelo, Linricia, had brought a herd of a hundred goats.
Linricia got down from the cart and bowed to me.
“I am Linricia Panelo, the 7th Princess. I have brought you supplies from the Baron’s Castle, so please accept them.”
“Thank you for coming such a long way, Madam. I would like to offer you some tea, but it is not possible.”
“No, Your Highness. I too came here to do some work. We will begin installing the pasture right away.”
“I will trust you and leave it to you, Ma’am.”
Judging from the natural flow of conversation between Eve and Linricia, it was clear that this had been planned in advance.
However, Cadeline could not understand the goats crying and beating right in front of her eyes.
“These are supplies?”
I smiled kindly and explained the reason.
"I don't know if I could get water faster from the Southern Province, but unfortunately, the Lasetora River and the Southern Ocean are similar. So I decided to take care of the water here and asked for something else at this time.

“Your Highness, to think about it this far..."
At this point, my expression changed slightly to a serious one.
“Keep in mind, all I can do is provide a foundation. It is up to Sir Belkram to make good use of these and run the village.”
“I wasted the opportunity Your Highness gave me."
“As expected, you are trustworthy.”
I smiled and said.
“With the water shortage already here, the added burden of crops and livestock must be worrying Sir Belcram.”
"That..."
“Don’t worry. I’ll try to solve the most important water problem soon. I’ll try to make sure it doesn’t go past today.”
“Yes, I will only trust Your Highness.”
Cadeline and Linricia withdrew from the barracks. I was lost in thought.
'Not in the distant Rasetora River, but in the nearby Melud Lake. We need to hurry up and prepare to procure drinking water. To do that, first...'
Just right, just right, just right...
My fingers tapped the desk. I had something to wait for now.
And finally, the glad appeared with the long-awaited news.
