"This is Erythroxylum coca. Was this mixed into Rion's medicine?" Odette was now in Doctor Alex's room. He was the doctor who had been treating and prescribing medicine for Rion. From now on, they would work together.
"This is the medicine the king has always taken," said Doctor Alex, a man who was around sixty years of age. The hair on the front and temples of his head seemed to have turned white.
He took out a tablet and the size of it took Odette by surprise. The tablet's diameter was about five centimeters and its thickness was up to one centimeter.
Odette grabbed it and took a close look and sniffed it. Odette could smell the honey on the tablet. It seemed like there was a mixture of honey in the tablet. In addition to its content, the honey seemed to be used as an adhesive.
"The tablet dissolves easily in water," Doctor Alex explained.
"Does Rion drink it every day?" Odette asked as she broke the tablet, then took a small piece and tried it.
