Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 832

With her maid in tow, Amelia arrived at Arcane Sanctum and quickly inquired about the price of the Evergreen Pills. They were far from cheap—five silver coins each, and she needed eight of them. In the frigid weather, she felt the sweat on her forehead and struggled to hold back tears, unable to make a decision.

The shop assistants at Arcane Sanctum recognized her by now and were aware of her situation.

One of them, Paul, spoke up, "Madam Amelia, these Evergreen Pills are intended for women who are weak and anemic after childbirth. If you're looking to replenish energy and blood, you can brew the medicine yourself, which is much cheaper. Besides, one pill is usually sufficient for childbirth. There's no need to buy so many. It's not like eight women are giving birth at the same time."

Wiping away her tears, Amelia hurriedly asked, "One is enough? Really?"

"Absolutely. If you're still worried, you could buy two. The pill isn't a guarantee for easy childbirth. It's mainly for those who are severely depleted. If the labor is prolonged and tiring, one pill can help give them the strength to continue."

Amelia handed over the money. "Then, I'll take two. And please get me two Snowdrop Pills as well."

Paul nodded, weighed the items, and made the calculations before returning with some copper coins. "Just a heads-up, the price of Snowdrop Pills is going to increase next month. Some of the herbs are becoming harder to find, which is driving up the cost. Sebastian used to treat your mother-in-law's condition, and with a daily dose of Snowdrop Pills, she improved significantly. With a couple more years of treatment, she would have been back to normal. But now…"

Paul shook his head sadly.

Amelia forced a smile, holding back her tears. "It's just how it is. We can't even afford to call Sebastian anymore. We can't rely on the same prescription forever. We need to adjust the medicine according to her condition. When we can afford Snowdrop Pills, we'll buy them, and if we can't, there's nothing we can do."

Paul fell silent and handed Amelia the medicine, advising her on how to take the Evergreen Pills.

He reiterated, "Make sure to space the doses at least four hours apart—don't take two at the same time. If the fatigue is due to prolonged labor, one pill will suffice. But if there are other complications, like difficult labor or heavy bleeding, this won't help. The extra pill can be taken two weeks after delivery."

"I'll remember that. Thank you so much!" Amelia said as she left the shop, her maid by her side.
