I Awoke as an Imprisoned Villainess-Chapter 61 - Lady education not in use

The day after I went out with Claude sama.

As I finished my errand to deliver the ordered medicine to the place at the end of the palace, I let out a small breath.

The royal palace is very huge.

With my life, lacking any physical exercise up until now, just walking around this huge royal palace made me a little out of breath.

However, all the people passing by were walking calmly with ease despite being dressed in glittering and heavy clothes.

As expected, these are people who have overcome the lady education. They can definitely walk around, carrying eight of those books that shouldn’t be dropped.

.......I also need to do my best.

I accidentally forgot, but I’m in the middle of my lady training.

With this kind of predicament, I might have to carry an inkwell with an open lid on top of a valuable book next time.

Just as Violet sama in my head began to hold up the inkwell, I straightened my back and took a step forward, as if to counteract the delusion.

At that moment.

“Sophia?”

“Eeeek!”

I was called out from behind.

Speak of the devil and she shall appear. When I turned around, Violet sama was standing there with a look of complete suspicion.

“V-Violet sama.....!”

“To be so surprised just by being called, you weren’t paying any attention, were you?”

I shrinked after being glared with cold eyes. “I’m sorry....”

After a few seconds of staring at me with pressure, Violet sama opened her mouth lightly.

“What in the world are you doing here?”

“Ah.... Umm, I’ve just delivered the ordered medicines to the place where they’ll be transported to the various departments”

While talking, I show her the basket that has become empty.

Basically, medicine is prescribed according to each person. However, there are some medicines that do not require medical examination.

For example, medicines that relieve drowsiness and fatigue for days when you’re sleep-deprived, and herbal tea that help you sleep well for days when you have trouble falling asleep. They’re not on the same level as therapeutic drugs, and they do not require major adjustments depending on the person. Hence, they’re given with instructions.

Such are delivered twice a month, according to the amount ordered.

Most of these medicines are made by new apothecaries like me, but if nominated, veterans such as the chief apothecary and the deputy apothecary may also make them.

By the way, I have received a fair amount of nominations for a newcomer. However, I seem to have the lowest number of nominations among the all-time ranking of Arbuthnots.

Sven, Nancy san, and Noel san are of the opinion that my Arbuthnot’s name and achievement for saving His Majesty’s life are well counteracted by the rumors of a greedy villainess who is knowledgeable about poisons. Honestly, I feel indescribable.

Picking myself up, I said, “That was it for today, so I was about to go out to the town”.

“To the town? You? Alone?”

After Violet sama raised her eyebrows as if looking at something unexpected, she nodded her head in agreement.

“So that’s why you’re wearing such a thing. I was surprised since I thought you didn’t have a single hair clip”

Violet sama’s eyes turn to my hair.

The hair clip that Claude sama gave me yesterday. I put it on immediately to get my spirits up because I was going to go to the city alone for the first time today.

Gently touching the hair clip, I nodded, a little shyly.

“As you said, I didn’t have any hair accessories, but...... yesterday, I went out with Claude sama and got it as a congratulatory gift. I was having trouble with my hair being disheveled, but it was very easy to fasten with this one, so I was saved......”

“Disheveled hair?”

Violet sama raised her eyebrow secretly.

In her expression, I realized that I had stepped on a certain landmine as a lady and I hurriedly made excuses for myself.

“Ah, um, I’m an apothecary before being a lady after all, and although I’ve been taking care of myself as a lady and spending a little more time walking properly, in the case of an emergency, I cannot do that. And and...well...umm”

“What in the world are you talking about?”

Violet sama looked disgusted from the bottom of her heart—-in other words, absolutely fed up.

“I don’t care about your utterly lifeless mindset and all. Just make it brief”

Utterly lifeless mindset........

“Yes.... Well, there was a person who was injured and collapsed, so I ran to him and treated him, and the hair that was tied up fell apart.........”

“An injured person in the square?”

Violet sama’s eyes twinkled suspiciously for a moment.

While being confused by that vigor, I said, “He said he made a mistake at work.....” and recalled that wound.

“It’s just that wound is.....”

As I stammered, Violet sama looked at me as if to check something.

“Hmm”

She immediately laughed with a satisfied look on her face and murmured.

“I’m glad to have put on the collar”

“Collar?”

When asked, Violet sama only smiled and did not answer.

I unconsciously touch my neck gently. Of course, there’s nothing there.

.......I have a bad feeling.

“……Um, Violet sama. Is there...... anything you’re hiding from me?”

“Oh well”

Violet sama giggled and said, “You’re asking something funny”.

“! Ah, I-I guess so! I’m sorry to ask you something weird”

I was relieved that it was just a misunderstanding but I was frozen in place by Violet sama’s next words.

“How can anyone be exposing anything and everything?”

Violet sama laughed bewitchingly, “Then, see you later”.
