~Lugalgin's POV~
"So, Gin, what do you want?"
"I don't want anything. I'm just checking you both out."
You think I'm the one who always thinks about profit and loss? You're so rude.
"Oh, so. I guess you want to know the effect of the medicine you gave me and Corba."
I smiled, but my hands did not stop peeling the apples.
"When did you know?
"Maybe since Corba's behavior changed."
"Can you please explain in detail?"
"Hehehehe," Nammu chuckled. "I don't know how to see your response. Do you realize we're like guinea pigs?"
Yeah, right, I can't deny that I made Nammu and Corba into guinea pigs. Although the results had a positive impact, still I have done taboo. Experiments on humans are highly contested unless the drug has been tried on animals hundreds of times. Once declared safe on animals, then it can be continued to humans.
However, I went through all that and gave the medicine, at a dose that could be said to be the origin, to Nammu and Corba. If anyone reports, I'll go to jail soon. Well, that's also if they can report. I'm the one who manages the intelligence and the running of the official information in this kingdom. No one will be able to report me.
"So, what have you done?"
"Have you heard about control drugs?"
"I heard the rumors. Did you use that drug?"
"You could say so."
I started to give a quiet explanation of the control drugs. The info I gave was I had access to get this drug. Of course I have access. This control drug is my own blood. There's no way I don't have access, right? But, of course, I didn't say it got here.
At first, this experiment I did was just to answer the question of how much blood I needed to lose power. First try, I mixed half a ppm of my blood on Corba and Nammu drinks, just once. A dose of half a ppm does not eliminate their control. However, as it turned out, there was another effect of giving my blood to people.
At a dose of half a ppm, the brainwashing effect on Corba did not go away. However, it seems, the brainwashing effect is slightly reduced. Before, he would always scream and get angry when he saw my face. However, after dosing half a ppm, Corba only showed a sour face when he saw me.
I think from the scream to the sour face is a very drastic change. At first, I just thought Corba was softening up because she saw her brother being cared for by me. However, these changes occur in a short time, even a matter of days. It makes me believe that my blood is what makes it soft.
Besides, there are a few other things that make me even more certain. First, the topic of my discussion with Inanna a few days ago. Second, how my weapon could make the uncomfortable feeling that Ufia felt disappear even though she was one room with Ninlil. Based on some of these things, I'm increasingly convinced that it was my blood that made Corba soften.
I'm not sure how long my blood will have an effect, and my main goal is not to look for this duration of time either. So, even though my blood effect had not disappeared, I still increased the dose. After half a ppm, I increased it to 1 ppm.
One ppm still doesn't take away Nammu and Corba's controlling power. However, the most obvious effect was that Corba was no longer hostile towards me. Now, he could speak without emotion anymore. In fact, he respects me like a child, so it's like that. On the other hand, Nammu's behavior has not changed because he has been damaged before.
Of course, I never said that the power-destroying drug was my blood. From the beginning, I just said 'medicine'.
And, because of this, I need another guinea pig. I'm not going to continue the experiment on Nammu and Corba. I'll let them. If Corba's behavior starts to change, maybe I'll give him my blood again.
"Well, that's my observation. It seems that, at a dose of 1 ppm, I can eliminate the brainwashing effect that Enlil or anyone else in this world is doing."
"Removing the brainwashing effect done by Enlil yes...."
Your name is not looking at me. Now, he looked at the window again, somewhere else.
"Gin, if you had brought the medicine five years earlier, maybe, mom would still be with us."
Hey, your mom's not dead. He just left. You can meet him anytime. At least, that's what I'm trying to say. However, Nammu and Corba also have no idea where their mother went. So, it might be difficult.
Well, if they do it themselves it's hard. If I'm the one who intervened, the story is different. However, I won't do it before they ask for it, and make a pretty tempting offer.
"Can we put that aside first? I wonder what effect you're feeling."
I listened to Nammu's explanation carefully.
The effect Nammu felt was that he no longer felt the pressure or discomfort he had previously felt. In the past, if there were people with stronger aluminum controls, like Ninlil, he would feel uncomfortable, ordinary. However, one day, she felt that the discomfort was lessening. Then, at one point, he no longer felt it.
Previously, he himself was not sure of the cause. However, after I gave her the explanation just now, she thought that maybe the cause was the medicine I gave her.
Corba also said she now feels more comfortable being with her brother, Nammu. In the past, Corba, always had fear or discomfort when dealing with or being with her brother. However, along with Nammu, that feeling also disappeared. Besides, somehow, now Nammu can distinguish the aluminum corba control from others.
"There's another effect?"
"For now, that's the only effect I feel."
"alright. If there is any other effect felt, please notify me immediately. I don't want any bad effects on your body."
"of course. If there's anything, you'll be in charge, right?" Nammu replied with a smile.
".....we're cousins. I can't really be responsible."
"Hahahaha," Nammu chuckled. "Don't worry, you shouldn't marry me. At least, if I become incompetent, you must lead me until I am able to live independently."
Shouldn't? No, no, no. I need to reiterate that we are cousins. We're not getting married, are we?
Although marrying cousins is not forbidden in this kingdom, and is even often practiced by nobles, I still do not want to do so. If it's true that he's incompetent, I just need to teach him to live independently and compensate him every month. Aye, right?
"Sister Nammu, Brother Lugalgin, I'm back."
Corba came into the room. I received a can of cold lemon tea and a card containing my electronic money.
"Thank you, Corba." I stood up and walked to the exit. "Your name, if there's anything, you can call me."
"Yes. I'll call you if there's anything. Sure."
I got out of the room and headed to the ground floor. Yesterday I didn't have time to visit Nammu and Corba because I had to host Nanna and Suen. That's why I just visited them this morning.
Right now, Emir and Inanna I'm telling you to go straight to the intelligence office. Nanna, Suen, and sister Suen are taken in by the Agade members.
Now, I have to think of the appropriate punishment for the traitorous agents. If it's just cleaning up his family, I'm afraid the other members won't learn from this. I need a new punishment. Or is an old punishment enough? Well, it's easy. Arrangeable.
The next schedule is to meet the women recommended by Jin. I hope he can be trusted.
On the other hand, from this experiment, I began to understand why incompetents were required to become Kings.
