I am a member of the village. I love to see my fellow townspeople. All of my family lives in the same village as I.
Your majesty! It's an honour to meet you. You look well. How is your family this day? They are well. My father has a slight cold which is why I've come to the apothecary. What brings you here my King? From time to time I like to go to the streets of my people.  I wondered in to this shop and was taken by all of the many different colored bottles. The colours are truly beautiful. It's really an honour to have you walk amongst us your Majesty. Do you have much knowledge of what the intruments are for? Hmmm...I wish I could say I do. My magician and healers have such things but not as many as these. Are you a healer yourself or your son perhaps? Alas no - but I once saw a traveling magician use similar looking things in his performance. My grandmother also practiced a form of alchemy that required a set of scales similar to those on the shelf. Perhaps some of these powders are used for some magical purpose?  I will have the Apothecary send each of the potions to the castle for my healer and magician. Will you join me at the castle three day hence for a meal and some ale? I would be honoured my King! I wish there was something I could bring as thanks, however I have no food or drink I would dare take to the house of a King. I will also choose some potion for my ailing father - perhaps this red powder? Do you remember what this powder does from what your magician has told you over the years? I will send my magician to your father at once. Give my guard directions to your home.  My magician will bring the potions that will be needed. Have you a wife? My eternal thanks your Majesty! My home is at the edge of town, on the road leading to the forest. It is the thatched house next to the water mill. Alas my wife died in child birth. I am left with just a son. Tell me your majesty - will the Queen be joining us for our meal three days from now? Yes my beautiful queen will be joining us as well as my daughters and their maids.  Please if you can spare him from his chores...bring your son as well.
