So I'm a sheep.

..........................................

The bandits tried to convey the harsh reality to the princess in a tactful manner. When she heard that she could only eat cold, hard, black bread mixed with wood chips every day on her meager salary, she was stunned.

"This, this won't do."

"Gentlemen, I need to make a lot of money."

With food, drink, and other necessities, plus the expenses of researching those 'magic' items, the princess felt that even if she used them sparingly, she wouldn't be able to afford more than five gold coins a day.

"If you want to make big money, you need to have a special skill. You're a princess, you must have some amazing skills, right?"

"..."

Special, special skill.

I spend money very quickly, would that count as a special skill?

The princess pondered for a long time with a pained expression, when suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into her mind.

"If I have enough materials, I can try to make some special potions. These potions should be quite profitable to sell."

"Oh, what kind of special potion?"

"A charm potion that can make women beautiful (with a time limit) or make men more attractive."

"A drug that can cure hair loss, a drug that can help you lose weight, a drug that can turn you into a frog..."

At this point, the princess stopped talking.

Even so, the bandits retreated in terror.

"Oh my god, Princess, are you...are you a witch?"

"No, that's not true!"

What witch? I'm clearly a magical girl... Okay, thinking about it, I should be an apprentice witch.

Witches and sorceresses are worlds apart!

Seeing that the bandits were still very scared, the princess reluctantly took out a small badge.

“Look, this is the church emblem. I believe in the great goddess, and my most beloved divine angel is named Saliye. How could she be a witch?”

..........................................

Only after moving out of the church did the princess manage to dispel the robbers' suspicions.

"So you're not a witch, but a remarkable apothecary."

"Haha, that's right, I am the amazing pharmacist!"

'I wonder if those medicines can even be made...'

"Since you have such abilities, why don't we cooperate?"

The bandit leader's mind started working: "We'll help you collect raw materials, we'll help you sell medicine, we can save you a lot of time."

"In return, you should share a portion of the money from the sale of those miraculous potions with us."

"no problem"

The princess immediately agreed, and then rattled off a list of raw materials that needed to be collected.

After repeating it two or three times, the bandits managed to memorize the princess's requirements by each of them memorizing a few raw materials.

But then another problem arises.

"Princess, Your Highness. Your Highness, we can collect some materials ourselves, but there are many others that we have to buy."

The bandit leader said awkwardly, "We might not have enough money."

Volume 1: Chapter 432 Bystander

"Hey, you guys aren't... this should be very profitable."

Upon hearing this, the bandits could only manage a wry smile.

“Your Highness, when we encounter a fat sheep, our brothers can enjoy themselves for a while. Otherwise, we live a very frugal life.”

The bandit leader said helplessly, "Besides, people like us can't possibly save any money. We just rob whatever we want. But the raw materials you need, the only place we can rob is the Grand Merchant Guild."

In these chaotic times, all major chambers of commerce have, without exception, kept a large number of thugs.

These five bandits think they can mess with a major merchant guild? They're just asking for trouble.

"Money, money, that's it!"

The princess gritted her teeth and took off her small crown: "This is made of gold, you can take it and sell it."

"Oh!"

There was absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. After getting the crown, the bandits not only groped it all over, but also bit it repeatedly with their teeth.

"This is the smell of gold."

"I've tasted gold too!"

"Haha, I can show off properly when I run into those bumpkins in the future."

"Hey, stop biting! If you leave teeth marks, the crown won't fetch a good price!"

The princess hurriedly stopped the robbers' absurd actions and asked with some concern, "If I give you this crown, will you be able to find a buyer?"

"Don't worry about that."

The bandit leader thumped his chest loudly: "We have our own channels, hehe, we have chambers of commerce that cooperate with us."

'Hmph, those unscrupulous merchants.'

The princess cursed them in her heart, but had no choice but to follow the bandits back to their lair.

......................................

No matter how talented she is, the princess is just an apprentice witch, and a self-taught one at that.

Her unconscious tricks could influence the bandits for a day or two, but as time went on, the bandits, who gradually broke free from the influence, began to look at the princess with strange eyes.

'Another failure. Can the princess really create those magical potions?'

'I was stupid; I should have spent the money from selling the crown myself.'

'This princess is so picky, she's hard to please.'

More than once, bandits had tried to harm the princess, but were dissuaded by their unwilling bandit leader.

"Let's wait a little longer. We've been taking care of her for so long, it would be a shame to give up now."

"If she really succeeds in creating the beauty drug, she'll be rolling in money, and all the brothers will be millionaires!"

Harboring hopeful dreams for the future, the bandits endured for another month.

When they finally couldn't contain themselves any longer, the princess was fortunate enough to complete her first charm potion.

"Hahahaha, waaaaah."

I laughed and then cried, cried and then laughed again.

After a while, the princess wiped away her tears and walked out of the cave with her head held high.

"Gentlemen, we will never have to live in caves again."

"Let's buy a nice big house in town, we're rich now!"

"..."

The bandits, who were munching on sweet potatoes, were stunned for a moment before they reacted. Looking at the overjoyed princess, tears streamed down their faces.

It's not easy; serving a princess is really not easy.

Disliking the smell of the haystacks in the cave, they immediately provided her with a pile of fresh hay.

Unable to sleep on the haystack, they hurriedly brought back a wooden plank bed.

They demand to eat and drink well every day, and they throw tantrums from time to time!

It's been so tough, but we've finally made it through!

.........................................

The charm potion was incredibly effective, and soon gold coins started pouring in.

With the gold coins, the princess no longer wanted to live in the cave; she wanted to buy a beautiful big house in town.

However, the wanted posters produced by the bandits ruthlessly dispelled the princess's idea.

"How...how could this be? I'm wanted by the kingdom!"

The wanted poster is utter nonsense, claiming that he colluded with outsiders to murder his father—that's completely untrue!

"Princess, it seems your sister is about to ascend the throne."

One sentence made the princess's expression darken.

Legally speaking, she was the only person in the world who could compete with her sister for the throne, but if she became the criminal who murdered the king, then her sister becoming queen would be a foregone conclusion.

"I never imagined the princess's sister could be so vicious! How despicable!"

"Don't be afraid, no one will hurt you."

"Yes, yes, we will protect you."

The bandits were furious. This princess was their cash cow, and their good days had just begun. Anyone who tried to sabotage them was their enemy!

"Your Highness, we can build a mountain stronghold in the future. Mountain strongholds are comfortable to live in."

"Having too much money isn't safe either. If you don't want to be robbed by other bandits, you have to be stronger than them."

"Do you want to recruit people to join?"

"Absolutely necessary"

The power of gold coins is boundless. With handfuls of gold coins scattered around, the bandit gang quickly expanded to a hundred members.

A few months later, a simple village was built.

The bandits even thoughtfully built a laboratory for the princess (just an empty house) so that she could research more money-making gadgets.
