-- The Emperor's Bedroom - The Empire's Palace --

After they left the throne hall, they then go directly towards the Emperor's room where the Emperor resides, inside the room there is the Emperor and his son.

'Well it looks like he's on his limit huh,' Thought Tetsuya while taking a glance at the Emperor's condition who was lying on the bed.

"Dear this is the one who will cure you." Said the Empress while looking at the Emperor.

"I see... so you must be the young Alchemist, sorry I cannot give you any proper greeting with my current condition," The Emperor then looked at Tetsuya with a smile.

"Don't worry about it your highness, what's important now is that I must heal you right now." Said Tetsuya with a smile on his face as he slowly goes toward near the Emperor.

But before Tetsuya is able to get near the Emperor, the Emperor's son gets in Tetsuya's way.

"Can you really cure my father?" Asked the Emperor's son while looking at Tetsuya.

"Charles!" The Empress shouts the name of her and the Emperor's son with a worried expression since she doesn't want him to disturb Tetsuya who is trying to heal the Emperor. As for the name 'Charles' that The Empress called just now, yes it was his name and his full name is Charles E. Changaire. And as for the name of the Emperor and the Empress are Augustav E. Changaire and Anne E. Changaire, which Tetsuya of course already knew.

{A/N: From here on, I will call the Emperor, the Empress, and his son by their real name.}

{E/N: The Greatest Plan shall now proceed Charles!}

"Yes, of course, I can, so don't worry about your father, he is going to be fine, I promise I will heal your father, so relax okay," Said Tetsuya while looking at Charles with a smile on his face.

"Then you better hold your promise," Said Charles while pouting as he then walks toward his mother since he doesn't want to disturb Tetsuya on healing the Emperor.

"Leave it to me kiddo," Said Tetsuya with a smile.

"My name is Charles, not kid, and you're also a kid yourself!!!" Shout Charles with an irritated expression on his face. The Empress, Anne, and Chouri who see the antics between both of them could only smile wryly and on the other hand, Honest is in the middle of hoping that Tetsuya potion cannot heal Augustav since if he does something there is a chance that Chouri will interfere since he knows that Chouri has been very wary of him and every action of him will be noted by Chouri.

"Tell me boy what is your name?" Asked Augustav while looking at Tetsuya.

"My name is Tetsuya, your highness," Said Tetsuya who then put his backpack down on the floor near the Emperor's bed.

"I see... If my wife trusts you then I will also put my trust in you, so I will leave things to you then Tetsuya," Said Augustav with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, leave everything to me," Said Tetsuya.

After That, Tetsuya then brings out a 'Great Cure Potion' from his backpack. The 'Great Cure Potion' he takes is different from the 'Cure Potion'. Unlike 'Cure Potion' that can only cure a general kind of poison, 'Great Cure Potion' can cure the poison that is more dangerous than the normal kind of poison. Well, of course, all the potion that Tetsuya obtained is from the drop items that he obtained from killing the Danger Beast.

"Please be noted that the potion tastes a bit weird so please don't spit it out when you drink it," Said Tetsuya as he then pours the 'Great Cure Potion' on Augustav's mouth.

The contents of the potion then go to Augustav mouth until the potion empty. Slowly Augustav face that has pale skin due to the poison turns into its original skin color. Augustav who drank the potion now can feel that his body is slowly getting better as his body right now stopped feeling hurt from the poison. Even though his body has been cured of the poison, the after-effects of the poison have already spread through to his body which makes his body rot from the poison.

"Please don't get up just yet your highness, even if your body has been cured of the poison the thing that the poison caused to your body is still not recovered from the potion that I gave you," Tetsuya who see Augustav is trying to get his body up warn him.

"Haha... Well, I just want to give you my deepest thanks as the Emperor so I think lying in the bed while giving you my thanks would be rude." Said Augustav with a smile on his face while looking at Tetsuya.

"Well, you should give your thanks after getting a full recovery, your highness," Said Tetsuya while trying to get another potion from his backpack.

"Uhm... Tetsuya, that means..." Anne, who looks at Augustav's condition that is getting better, is trying to say something.

"Yes, the poison has been cured." Said Tetsuya with a smile as he then pulls another potion from his backpack.

Anne who heard this started to shed some tears. The tears that come out from Anne's eyes are not the tears of sadness but it is the tears of joy as she is so happy to see that her husband, Augustav has been cured by the poison that almost took his life. Charles who heard this also cries as he then hugs his mother while crying.

Chouri who sees both of them crying can only show a smile as he is also relieved that the Emperor, Augustav has been cured. On the other hand Honest, the opposite of Chouri as he is right now is cursing at Tetsuya in his mind.

'This boy just fucking ruined my plan!!! How dare he!!! I want to torture him so bad!!! But wouldn't it also be good to eat him? Well, I'm going to get rid of this boy first, and after that, I will continue to feed the Emperor the poison. With that, I can obtain the potion that the boy has in his backpack and also kill the Emperor in the process,' Thought Honest while showing an evil smile on his mind.

{E/N: Wtf are you, a chinese young master? And what the fuck dude, even though I'm a psycho I wouldn't eat a fucking child, I'll torture at most}

{A/N: well the dude Honest is just like that...}

"Anyways Tetsuya, did you say that what I was suffering was poison?" Asked Augustav while looking at Tetsuya with a serious expression.

"Yep, as I was saying it was a poison. Is there something wrong your highness?" Said Tetsuya with a fake confused expression while looking at Augustav.

"No, it is nothing... It's just that we all thought the things that I suffer from isn't poison but a disease, even the other doctors said that what I was suffering was an incurable disease," Said Augustav with a serious expression.

Anne and Charles who heard this are both surprised since they just realize that Augustav has been poisoned and they never noticed it. Chouri who heard this finally can confirm that Augustav had been poisoned since every doctor who came checking Augustav is saying that this is a disease, now he can now for sure believe that Honest is somehow related to this. Honest on the other hand is still keeping a calm demeanor on his face, but in his mind, he is a little bit pale since he just realizes that Tetsuya already spilled out the truth from his mouth which is the word 'Poison'.

Tetsuya now on the other hand could only sigh since he just realizes this whole time what they thought of the disease is actually a poison. Well, what he can say is that he believes Augustav is suffering from the poison from the start since that is what he read from the manga. Well, he couldn't care less since it's also advantageous for them to know that what Augustav is suffering is not a disease but is a poison.

"Anyway, your highness, can you drink this? Your highness, this can heal all of your injured organs." Said Tetsuya while holding up a potion in his hand. The potion in his hand is a 'Great Heal Potion' which the capabilities of the potion are more than the potion that he uses in the throne hall that is a 'Heal Potion' which can heal mostly skin, it also can heal the internal injury but not as great as 'Great Heal Potion'.

Augustav who heard this then accepts the potion that Tetsuya gives as Tetsuya then slowly feeds the potion to Augustav due to Augustav body is still weak from the after effect of the poison. After receiving the potion, Augustav can feel that he slowly can regain the strength of his body as he then can move his body around.

Everyone in the room who sees Augustav move around his body is very happy except for one person who is cursing at Tetsuya which is Honest.

"Tetsuya, I Augustav E. Changaire as the Emperor would give you thanks from the bottom of my heart." Said Augustav who right now is in a sitting posture at the top of his bed while looking at Tetsuya with a grateful expression.

"No worries, I just doing my job as an alchemist." Said Tetsuya with a smile on his face. Right now Tetsuya already happy enough that he already complete his main objective which is to heal the Emperor, and his next objective is to kill Honest. Truthfully Tetsuya can just easily kill Honest for all he cares, but of course, that would be no fun on killing him instantly as he has to make use of Honest while he still alive, and that is where Tetsuya already have a plan for Honest. Thought this sounds a bit evil but Tetsuya doesn't care as he doesn't give any mercy to someone who has a corrupt personality like Honest.

"You sound too mature for a kid of your age," Said Augustav with a suspicious expression in his eyes.

"Well, it's the effect of me reading too many books probably, your highness." Said Tetsuya with a wry smile.

"Well that must be it, well your parents must be lucky to have you as a child." Said Augustav with a smile while looking at Tetsuya. Tetsuya who heard this could only pause a bit as he then remembering all the memories that he spent with his parents.

"Yeah, but I'm also very lucky to have both of them as my parents," Said Tetsuya with his whole heart while showing a smile. If he didn't have any parents such as Anna and Yukio in this life, he wouldn't become the person he right now. Even though they are sometimes harsh on him when training, he wouldn't become as strong without their guidance. For Tetsuya, he is very grateful to have parents like them who also show parental loving from his childhood, even though he knows that his parents sometimes lack common sense.

"I see, they must be great parents," Said Augustav with a gentle smile on his face.

"Yes, they are." Said Tetsuya with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, Tetsuya can feel a hug from his side as he sees the son of the Emperor, Charles is hugging him while crying.

"*Sniff* T-Thank you so much for saving my father." Said Charles while crying as he looks at Tetsuya with a grateful expression.

"Well, I've already promised, haven't I?" Said Tetsuya with a smile while rubbing Charles's head.

Everyone in the room except Honest who looks at both Tetsuya and Charles can only smile at their interaction. After a while, Charles then let go of his hug from Tetsuya as he then seriously look at Tetsuya.

"Can I ask you something?" Asked Charles while looking at Tetsuya with a serious expression.

"Sure, ask anything you want." said Tetsuya while wondering what will Charles ask about.

"You can cure any type of disease right?" Said Charles while giving Tetsuya a serious expression.

"Yeah, as long as it's not a disease that instantly kills you then I can cure it... I think..." Said Tetsuya.

"Then... Can you heal my sister's disease?" Said Charles.

{E/N: We know where this is going, after all it was part of the Keikaku, Charles!}
