The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 303
Nikolai's apothecary was not small by any means. Mirabella entered, cast a quick
glance around, and without further ado, left Nikolai to his devices, shooing the
others out of the room.
Truth be told, Nikolai genuinely wanted to assist Mirabella, but it soon became
blatantly clear that there wouldn't be much for him to do. He watched the young
lady grind the ingredients with practiced ease and then carefully place them into
the baking oven. Every step was executed with precision. Crafting the medicine
was crucial, but the real art was in the precise measure and blend of the
ingredients.
It amazed Nikolai that he was witnessing such preparation of ancient remedies in
his lifetime, and by someone so young — a girl barely in her twenties. She worked
with a mastery that suggested she had done this a thousand times over.
Three hours later, Mirabella carefully retrieved the medicine from the furnace.
Twenty pills were produced, not a single one a failure.
The rich aroma of the concoction filled the apothecary as Nikolai snapped out of
his daze. His eyes settled on the pills resting on the table. He sauntered over,
picked one up, and inspected it. Whether one judged by appearance or scent,
there was only one word to describe it: perfect. If this were to be evaluated by the
Pharmacists“ Guild, it would fetch an S+ rating, if not higher.
Nikolai glanced at Mirabella, who now wore a hint of fatigue. An eighteen—year—
old top-tier alchemist — what a concept! If the Guild ever caught wind of this,
they'd lose their minds!
Moreover, she had crafted twenty pills in one go, and in just three hours...
Trembling slightly. Nikolai placed the pills into their special bottle, opened his
mouth, and then, breaking the silence of the apothecary, he blurted out.
“Mirabella, would you consider taking an apprentice? I know I'm a bit long in the
tooth, but I swear, my talents are still sharp.”
Mirabella, who had just taken a sip of water, choked on her drink, spraying it out.
She coughed a few times and said, “You're pulling my leg. Nikolai.” Then, as if
fearing he might continue in a similar vein, she quickly grabbed the bottle of pills
and hurried out the door.
Lately, it seemed everyone wanted to be her apprentice.
No sooner had Mirabella stepped outside than Wyatt and Curtis approached her.
“Ms. Mirabella, have the medicines been prepared?”
She handed the bottle to Wyatt, “There, that's all I've crafted. It's not much, so
make it last, will you?”
Behind her. Nikolai, who had just managed to get one leg over the threshold,
nearly tripped at her words.
Were twenty pills not much?!
Did this little prodigy have any idea that with the same amount of ingredients, a
senior alchemist might've, at best, produced only five or six pills?
