Chapter 31

The table of contents for the "Proposal for the Establishment of the Medical Office" has five sections.

1. Necessity of the Medical Office
2. Proposed Internal Structure of the Medical Office
3. Budget Allocation within the Medical Office
4. Examples of Possible Medications
5. The Relationship between the Church of the Goddess and Medicine

Revisiting the proposal revealed something to add, specifically to the last section. I tried to preemptively address any potential objections from the Temple. In essence, it was about taking the initiative.

'I need to give the ministers something to hide behind. To do that, I need to thoroughly understand the doctrines of the Goddess Church.'

I headed to the royal library to read the relevant books. As I passed through the central garden, I heard excited laughter.

A group of noble ladies was heading towards the Temple. At the front was Duchess Yena, who caught my eye.

“Empress.”

She greeted me with a bright smile, and the other ladies followed suit.

“It's good to see you all. Are you on your way to pray?”

The ladies exchanged uneasy glances, probably due to the current delicate relationship between the royal family and the Temple.

But prayer is a personal freedom.

“Prayer is just an excuse. We actually prefer tea parties,” Duchess Yena said, hiding her mouth with a fan. Her seemingly trivial chatter had an underlying message.

She was subtly complaining about not being invited to tea parties.

Rivia used to host tea parties frequently, always trying to appease the noblewomen. Every time, these ladies would gather information about the palace. They probably looked down on Rivia the whole time.

Especially Duchess Yena, who regarded Rivia as beneath her since she was from a marquisate while Yena was a duchess.@@novelbin@@

“You hold tea parties often enough, don’t you?” I said with a smile.

“But nothing can compare to the tea in the palace.”

How blatant.

“If only the Empress's duties were limited to the joy of having tea with all of you.”
