That dude from the workshop works for the evil medicine minister that tried to force ML into marrying his daughter
The evil medicine minister was the one who basically exiled FLs grandfather,
he was commoner medicine maker and cured a nobel he couldn't and as vengeance for that and for the fact that fls grandfather wanted affordable medicine for commoners
he basically scheme and got his family (mum dad and siblings) to abandon him , hurt by that he left the capital
met FLs grandma and they had FLs mum together
Now that dude wants his research thats why that dude said that FL should go out to collect berries he hoped she'd die
So he could go through the stuff she had left from her family ans steal the research the merchant that comes to pick up stuff is also involved
Also the og owner of the shop comes by and rips one into his son for letting the " goose that laid golden eggs go" (he too suxks)
The son asks that if FL was so valued why was she paid so little and made to do everything and he goes "because she never asked for more and did it of her own volition" (like dude u suxx)
I went to the groups site (i made an acc there) and read till ch7 (i literally payed for ch7 cause it was only free till then) and i absolutely regret it , she feels very naive and slow witted and the dude is absolutely insufferable i get he is only acting like this and lying cause something something super dramatic but he acts all fake edgy and i cringe at that










I just read the raws and wow
This went boom quickly like zoom zooom zoooooom bam fight fight over last ch is 21 so its basically half way through
