The first thing he did wasn't to verify whether the pill was genuine, but to investigate the alchemist who concocted it.
As the First Prince, he wanted to uncover this person's identity and establish a connection with them. He knew that if something as astonishing as the six-stripes pill had suddenly appeared, the alchemist who created it must be someone other than the usual grandmasters of the association.
