"What's with the commotion outside?" Odette asked as she watched the people gathering on the castle ground from her room.
"They are all searching for you, Milady," Rori replied.
"Me? Did I do something wrong? Did the medicine not work as intended?" Odette asked worriedly. She thought she already did her best when grinding the ingredients, but maybe that wasn't enough. Since this was her first time creating a big batch of medicine, there must have been some kind of error during her calculation that affected the medicine's potency.
"No, it's the opposite, Milady! The medicine is so effective that everyone has been cured of Crushian Fever! That's why they are all gathered here to show their gratitude to you!" Ruru explained excitedly.
"Eh?! Uhm…" Odette panicked as she didn't know what to do right now.
True, she felt good when someone thanked her for something she had done. But that didn't mean she wanted to be thanked by at least two hundred people at once!
