The Goal is to be Self-made

-headed.

The content of the letter read that he would send someone to the Grand Duke’s residence secretly, so she had to meet with that person and then run away, or else she would be in big trouble.

What on earth is he on about now?

She snorted and ignored the letter.

It seems that the situation is so hopeless that he can’t even make a specific threat.

It was a threatening letter that did not work for her, not even for the real Violet to say the least.

It was far better to focus on adapting to life at Etzel estate than to worry about the duke who would be boiling with rage without any countermeasures.

The attitudes of people at the Duchy toward her were largely divided into two.

Curious or wary.

If she were to look at the ratio, the latter was the overwhelming majority.

It was natural to be wary of strangers, so there was nothing to be sad about.

I just have to do what I am supposed to do.

That was the best way for a stranger to blend in.

First, she put a lot of effort into understanding the situation of the Grand Duchy.

Didn’t people say that if you know your enemy and yourself well, you can win every battle? It was more important than anything to understand their current state well.

The Grand Duchy was quite wealthy.

The large territory was rich in resources, and the tax rate was not very high, yet,  it was still making high profits.

The problem was that all the sources of revenue for the Duchy were stuck in the old-fashioned industry.

The Grand Duchy is significantly dependent on agriculture.

Of course, agriculture was the source of all life.
However, there were too many variables beyond human control.
Depending on the weather, poor harvests might occur, and if manpower was drained due to an epidemic like the recent period, the yield would be greatly reduced.

In other words, It was an unattractive field as a business.

If you want to make big money, you have to turn to commerce or industry.

Even the Duke of Basel was successful by making a big deal of commerce.

Unlike the Etzel estate, where the land was fertile, the estate of Duke Basel was barren and farming was not done properly.

For that circumstances, he turned to commerce early and made his fortune by monopolising many business sectors.

The greatest product of Basel was potions.

They summoned famous pharmacists and developed various potions.

There was a type of potion that restores energy from fatigue, a potion that clears the skin, a potion that heals wounds, etc.

He made and sold potions of various uses.

The formulas for the potions were top secret, and only the head of state could see them.

Since that was the family’s cash cow, the security was very tight.

It would be nice if we could make something like that and sell it.

If she were to make a new and mysterious potion to put on sale, it would become a hot topic.

If one drinks it, that person’s body will smell pleasant.
It’s a potion that can be used as a substitute for perfume.

Of course, it was an absurd idea.

Talented pharmacists were concentrated in the Basel estate, so development was not easy.

But at that moment, a window popped up in front of her unexpectedly.

[!] Under the influence of the Perfect Design (Legendary) skill, great ideas run wild in your head!

[!] Start designing .

[!] Consumes 300 energy.

Huh?

As soon as she read all the incomprehensible phrases, her body moved at its own will and started to write something on a blank paper.

Startled, she tried to stop her arm, but to no avail.

As if possessed by a ghost, her arm, which had been scribbling hard, stopped moving as if it was satisfied only after the paper was filled.

She rubbed her stiff wrist and looked down at the paper, bewildered.

100ml water

10g of Armaline flower root

0.5g of Philon’s Poison

5g of Axus’ heart

…

After reading the content with much speculation, she came to a conclusion.

Could this be… the ingredients and the method for making the potion?

She quickly went back and read the writing at the top of the paper again.

Huh?

It seemed that she had made a formula for this ridiculous potion that she could only imagine in her head.
