Offers and Progress

The first batch of Damian's potions was such a massive success that the court held an official event to showcase his groundbreaking research. For Damian, it was one of the most uncomfortable experiences he had ever endured among the nobles. Everyone clamored to speak with him—over twenty lords or their representatives approached him, each attempting to outdo the other with offers of riches, lands, titles, and more. The sheer intensity of their attention was overwhelming.

Thankfully, he was provided with security, along with butlers and capable nobles aligned with the royal family, who helped him navigate the chaotic social demands. Despite their efforts, Damian largely ignored the offers, uninterested in the Eldoris politics and scheming.
