Lucas walked toward the open-roofed wagon at the edge of the field. He lifted a small basket filled with tomatoes, then pulled aside part of his cloak that had been covering the cargo.
He returned and handed the basket to Mae.
"This is a bonus for you."
Mae froze.
The moment her eyes fell on the fresh tomatoes, her expression changed instantly—not because of the Young Master's kindness, but because of the tomatoes' potential.
As a healer, her thoughts began racing.
With proper nutrient extraction from these tomatoes… I could make far more medicine.
Enough for the villagers—without worrying about shortages again.
"Thank you, Young Master," Mae said earnestly, her hands trembling slightly as she accepted the basket.
Beside her, Lina remained silent. She only smiled faintly, watching Mae, who was clearly overjoyed.
Lucas then turned to Mae. "About the physical enhancement potion."
Mae straightened at once. "It's ready, Young Master. The fermentation process is complete."
