Baby Pharmacist Princess

“Specific and strong constraints make miracles even more extraordinary.”

“Then… can you do time travel?”

“Time travel, huh.”

Idsys, who caught me as I staggered, furrowed his brows and thought deeply.

“In theory, it’s possible… I might be able to turn back a day. I’ve never tried it, though.”

“Wow.”

Idsys never boasts. He’s not proud. He only says he can do something if he’s certain he can.

‘But wait a minute. Sihat came from a very far future.’

Sihat, in his adult form, looked at least eighteen or older.

“What about going back ten years?”

“That… even Father can’t do that. Maybe Grandfather could, but even he can’t do it alone.”

“What if there were two Grandpas?”

“Then it might be possible. But why are you asking?”

“Just curious!”

So, it might be possible with two dragons.

‘But Sihat doesn’t know magic.’

Using divine power and using magic are very different.

So, two dragons cast the spell?

‘What kind of constraints did he have to use such a tremendous spell?’

I was curious, but it seemed like one of those secrets he wouldn’t share.

I noticed Idsys looking at me with narrowed eyes.

‘Oh no, he’s going to find out that Sihat traveled through time!’

Luckily, Idsys couldn’t read minds.

I hurriedly changed the subject to distract him.

“Can you bring someone back to life?”

“Yes, it’s called a miracle. You can hold onto the soul. Or put a soul into an empty body…”

“…”

That’s creepy.

It’s not impossible.

‘But, the example Idsys gave…’

It sounds like my situation.

Maybe it was possible to put my soul into Cherishe’s body using miracle magic.

If this is a real world and not just a game.

“Anyway, it’s better not to be interested in miracle magic. Such great power comes with great costs.”

“Okay.”

“Let’s practice a spell to create tree roots to hide behind.”

“Yes, teacher!”

For the next 30 minutes, I followed Idsys’s instructions and managed to create some tree roots.

It wasn’t much yet, and I’d have to practice hard to make a proper barrier.

But, if I practice enough, I could have a place to hide, curled up like a kitten.

“Well, I must go now.”

“Brother Id, thank you for teaching me today.”

“Don’t mention it.”

After Idsys left the training ground, I approached Sir Rabjamun.

At this time, the knights weren’t training. Instead, they were sitting around sharpening their weapons.

“Princess, it’s dangerous to be here.”

“Okay.”

I stopped moving closer when Sir Rabjamun warned me.

Then it happened.

“Ouch!”

The youngest knight, Sir Vincent, grabbed his finger and hopped on one foot.

He must have hurt himself. What should I do?

“Oh dear, you hurt yourself again?”

“It’s just a little blood!”

“Well done. Use this!”

Another knight tossed a roll of bandages to Sir Vincent.

Sir Vincent bit the roll like a dog and started wrapping his finger.

“Are you okay?”

I looked at Sir Vincent’s clumsily bandaged finger, now huge, with wide eyes.

It’s so inefficient.

He tore the bandage to tie it to the wound since there was no tape.

“Well, sharpening arrowheads one by one, you get hurt sometimes. It’s nothing. Haha!”

“Come to think of it… everyone’s hands are full of scars.”

“Bandaging is a hassle, so we leave small wounds alone. But I’m still young, so I don’t want to leave them untreated!”

Sir Vincent laughed heartily and waved his bandaged finger.

I stopped sharpening the sword and looked at Sir Rabjamun’s hands. They were also full of scars.

“So many scars.”

“It doesn’t hurt.”

“But it must have hurt at first.”

Without realizing it, I took Sir Rabjamun’s hand and gently blew on the scars.

Though it wouldn’t erase the scars, I felt bad.

If there had been hydrocolloid bandages, the scars wouldn’t be so rough.

“Um, Princess! I’m the one who got hurt, though?”

“I’ll blow on Sir Vincent’s wound too.”

“Yes! Receiving the Princess’s care! Now everyone at White Night Palace will envy me!”

Sir Vincent hopped like a pony.

At that moment,

Bing!

A notification sound I hadn’t heard in a while rang loudly.

[♡Surprise Quest Triggered♡]

In both daily life and on the battlefield, wounds are common.

But people wrap wounds with bandages or tie them with string.

That’s because there’s no medical tape!

But such treatment can lead to infections.

(1) Develop ‘wound bands’ to make wound care easy for everyone.

(2) Distribute ‘wound bands’ to 500 knights randomly.

(Deadline: Until the end of the Ammon hunt)

♡Reward: 1,000 gems each

‘Wow, a quest after a long time!’

This time, too, it was divided into development and distribution quests.

I quickly scanned the text and focused on the wound band.

‘If I make that, it will definitely make everyone’s life easier.’

Wound bands include both the common narrow and long adhesive bandages and the wide hydrocolloid ones.

So, this quest is asking me to make wound bands in various sizes!

* * *

Wound bands.

These are used to quickly stop bleeding and seal the wound.

There are dry and moist types, with the latter being better at preventing scars.

The adhesive bandages we know were originally called ‘Band-Aids’ and have a very romantic origin.

‘A husband made it for his wife who kept getting hurt while cooking.’

Imagine it.

Her hands bleeding, struggling to wrap gauze, and tearing tape with her teeth to bandage herself.

The inventor thought this was too difficult and worrying for his wife at home alone while he was at work, so he came up with this idea.

It was a piece of tape with pre-cut, folded gauze attached.

So his wife could bandage herself immediately when she got hurt.

Even if she had to change the bandage because it was soaked with blood, it would be a thousand times easier.

‘But that was in the 1900s.’

In medieval times, it was just bandages.

“The first step to making wound bands is discussing adhesives, so I researched a few options.”

The next day, when I went to the Imperial Health Department office, Myerden brought some drawings and showed them to me.

Perfect visual aids for a four-year-old.

“Adhesives can be plant-based or animal-based.”

“Uh-huh!”

“Plant-based is resin from coniferous trees. Luckily, Castalia has plenty of conifers.”

Oh, I know resin.

The problem is, resin can make the fabric stiff.

It needs to wrap around the wound gently.

“Or flour paste. Flour paste is common in households. It might not stick well and could mold, but it’s the best option.”

“What about animal-based?”

“Animal-based includes glue made from animal hides and tendons.”

“I see.”

“It’s very sticky but smells bad. Fish bladder glue doesn’t smell but isn’t ideal for large-scale production.”

“True.”

“We can use preservation magic to prevent decay, but I recommend flour paste.”

“People would accept it easily, right?”

“Yes, no one would mind.”

Myerden is really capable!

I laced my small fingers together like a grand CEO.

“Develop it!”

“Yes, Princess. What about the product name?”

“We’ll go with grandfather’s middle name. Royal Wound and Burn Ointment, Royal Wound Bands.”

“Understood. You’ll take the prototype for the Ammon hunt, right?”

“Can you have it ready?”

“Yes, I will.”

Myerden answers everything confidently. It’s impressive.

Having him around is a big fortune.

I stopped my CEO act and waved at Myerden.

“I want two sizes… one wide and one small for everyday use.”

The wide one should replace bandages but still allow arm movement, being breathable and flexible.

Myrden, as a surgeon, will understand this.

“Sure, wide enough for knights to use in the Ammon hunt.”

“Right? Flour paste is safe for skin.”

Knights will use it first, then it’ll spread to everyday use.

If knights like it, they’ll recommend it to their families.

“Princess, you’re truly…”

At that moment,

Myerden started trembling.

“How do you come up with such creative ideas? I’m jealous!”

“Uh, thank you…?”

Jealous of me?

And he says it so honestly.

That’s why I can’t dislike Myerden.

Myrden trembled, then took off his glasses and wiped his tears.

“But… though I’m jealous… I’m also happy to serve such a brilliant Princess.”
