I am a king of the whole empire. I give rules and pursuit them. I am brave and fearless.
And this my the apothecary Your Highness! Thank you! and now all my people can have medical care for free. We will fight those who dare say your should not have free medical care. It is by my word that I set this law and as so, it shall not be broken M'lord! That is the most generous thing I've ever heard! Your actions today will bring forth an era of unprecedented prosperity to our village! you are my people poor or rich. Everyone has a role in my land from producing my food to assisting with my council.   Why of course M'Lord! Now ,in fear of speaking out of turn, how will the Apothecary be compensated for his services? No at all, I welcome any repsectful questions. Along with my funding of the Apothecary, my fellow council who agree will also donate to it. We will seek volunteers to work here untill it becomes successful enough to raise its own money and then those kind people will be paid for their hard work. Althought it is not perfect yet, in time it will become better and although it may not help with every alement, it is at least something I can off my great people! You think of everything M'Lord! It is such a relief to know the village rests in such capable hands! Now, where is that Apothecary? Why I've been waiting here a good while now, much before you graced us with your presence and he is nowhere to be found. The only other life here is this dog and quite frankly, he is making me uncomfortable with the way he keeps on looking at me. This dog is the test subject. We are in the Apothecary building but indeed, where has he gone ... A test subject? Certainly you jest M'Lord? what could the Apothecary be testing on this dog? Well, look around. He has many potions yet no person to test them on. How else would he know if his potions would work!  But of course! You are as wise as you are generous your Highness! Now that you mention it though, there are a few half empty flasks on that table... You don't suppose this dog could be... No, that'd be ridiculous!
