Chereads / Perfume Scandal! / Chapter 7 - Chapter 7:CHANGES ARE GOOD?

Chapter 7 - Chapter 7:CHANGES ARE GOOD?

I headed straight home with Mary after the heavy persuasion attempt I made to Earl Emire, and guess what? The flower is blooming~ But right now I see nothing else but the huge feast in front of me in the dinning table. Mm-mm~ Nope! I am not foodie, but....

"Gosh Sara! Eat slowly honey! or else you'll choke!"

"Your mother is right! Here, have some water, you worked hard today~ Want me to massage your shoulders?"

I can't ignore Mary who's having that expression of disappointment and the "UGH!" gaping mouth, staring at me from the corner, it's screaming ー AREN'T YOU A LADY?! BEHAVE LIKE ONE WILL YA?! HUH? I'm glad Mary has opened up to me but she's scary sometimes!~ I'm sorry Mary, father, mother. I really want to stop but I JUST CAN'T! I guess, I am a pig. Like, I haven't even had my breakfast properly [lies, I had three plates of sandwiches and two plates of bacon and orange juice] and I'm having my supper right now. Jesus, thank goodness my appetite was safe or else it would have been sour like my mood due to what happened today and I absolutely don't want that.

After having my supper I went to my room to work on my next stock of perfume.

"Thankfully I have sufficient ingredients this time. I just need to spend another 8 hours in it now and it'll be done."

This time I'll be making perfumes of Iris flower. Iris flower in my past life is known for it's rarity in the making of perfumes as it has a velvety, spicy, woody and fleshy scent, and to my surprise it's overly grown in this world. You can see iris flower in every house or flower shop here. So I'll be preparing the Iris flower perfume with saffron, raspberries, green tea and mint

"My lady, your first perfume was fabulous!"

"thanks!"

"...but the composition of this one is strange, are you planning to bamboozle the customers?"

"ha ha ha, Mary, you know perfumers are sometimes accused to be witches and wizards, then why not bring me lizard's taiー"

"I'll keep my mouth shut and grind the petals my lady!"

"that's better..."

Little rock little sugar makes it a "rock sugar"? What are the people of this world, the kingdom of fools? I'm scared they might turn on against me and hand me over to the royal guards podcastー I mean filing me as a scary witch.

The work for my parlour has already started, if everything is steady I'll shift my "working office" there by tomorrow evening. But I need to write a letter to Earl Emire for his wife as well. Now that I brought up this topic, there was a small paragraph detailing about the Earl and his countess in the novel if I recall it correctly. It was written that she had severe headaches with vertigo'sー

*BANG!*

"oh dear!ー"

"Fuck! it's migraine!! how could I not know earlier!!"

"my lady! do not bang tables!"

"oh okayー"

*DHUND! ; Hitting on the wall*

"fuck! how could I not knowー"

"my lady!! not the wall as well!"

"oh alrightー"

*THUDD! ; stomps hard on the floor*

"fuck! how could Iー"

"STOP!! JUST STOP IT!! BE A LADY FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!!"

"okay I got it this time"

I am frustrated. I swear I didn't have to think this much when I was doing my MSC than now, recalling the events and description of characters then recollecting the conclusion of their nature and the chain of situations that'll occur due to this then what can be done to make it happen or to avoid itーARGHH!! I'M FRUSTRATED! IT'S FRUSTRATING TO HAVE TRANSMIGRATED OR REINCARNATED!!

"damn~ it's hard..."

"...umm, uh..my lady? Are you, by chance upset because I have yelled at you because of you not being poisedー"

"I want to sleep~ー"

"PLEASE WORK"

"YES!"

I need to work now for real. Tomorrow I'll write a letter to the Earl about my visit and the therapy I'll be giving to the countess. I need to acquire his "tag" as soon as possible! Before the anniversary banquet of Viscountess Vanessa as the third prince would soon be given most of the privileges to govern the kingdom due to the king's bad health. Come to think of it, the reason why the king died wasー.... Anyways let's not focus on that, if I change the current situation of my family then I can avoid the bad ending as well! Let's get back to work.

On one side "Sara Galliois" was working hard to grade up to being a millionaire with her idea of opening up a Perfume Salon that'll overpower the fragrant oil enterprises, then on the other side the blazing sun of the empire has started to set down slowly, coldly.

"KHUFF!! KHUFF KHUFF!! KHUFF KHUFF KHUFF!!!ーagh...huff...ha...medi..cine..mph!ー"

"YOUR MAJESTY!! HERE! HERE'S YOUR MEDICINE!! PLEASE TAKE IT SLOWLY!" The health conditions of the emperor suddenly worsened, the medicines could hardly prevent the worrisome unwelcomed crisis. The empress is ordering the servants to bring in the lukewarm water to wipe the body of the emperor and summoning imperial physician but to the emperor the empress is seen as just a piece of decoration, decorated with beautiful shimmering worldly jewels, with enchanting red painted lips and maquillage hiding the wrinkles of age, wrapped in the silkiest silk and velvety soft red stilettos on the feet, and a piece of decoration, cannot handle rough wars. The curtain bed hid the worries displayed on the emperor's face well from the rest but not from himself, he knew that the palace is spider web and whoever stuck here may trample others to get free; chances to flee alive from here is less if you are caught in. Therefore he needs to appoint the crown prince soon, it can't be put off anymore.

"Call theーKHUFF KHUFF!!ーahem!!..call the princes and princesses tomorrow in the royal audience as well... I have something to announce..."

This comment was enough to make it clear to everyone present there about what will be the topic of this meeting. The empress was holding in her excitement with long worried face but her heart was pounding very hard to sent her body shivers with each pound.

If the events are advanced in this manner, then a huge dark storm is coming soon as well.
