When Leonard Ethan explained that the carvings on the wall were from the "Emerald Tablet," a famous alchemical text, Mary immediately recalled an incident she had encountered before, a scam that could be said to have been long in the making.
It was well known that during the time of Louis XVI, France's finances had reached a very dangerous point. Therefore, for the royal family at that time, finding ways to get money had become a very important matter.
Although Marianne Antoinette was not very concerned with such matters at the time, as the Queen of France, there would always be people trying to find a way in through her.
According to Mary, she was truly fooled when she saw a golden liquid appear in the crucible where the lead had already melted, and she even planned to offer the scammer a court position.
