"An average Apeling lives to 200 years, which is twice the age of humans. We humans can only reach that age once we've broken through to the fourth stage."

The princess shook her head. The king answered again, "This is a longevity potion. One of the Apelings who visited our kingdom casually gave this to a noble who had shown them good hospitality."
