The atmosphere in the room shifted from skepticism to intrigue. The nobles exchanged glances, contemplating the potential benefits of the elixir. One of the lords, usually reserved, spoke up with genuine curiosity, "Reaves, where can one procure this elixir? I\'m sure many of us would like to investigate its merits personally."
Reaves, relishing his role as the center of attention, responded, "Selina has it, though she claimed she had a limited supply, but I\'m sure she\'d be willing to accommodate fellow nobles. Just visit her apothecary and inquire."
As the discussion continued, the room buzzed with animated chatter. Some nobles expressed reservations, while others were eager to explore the newfound remedy for intimate concerns. The topic of the vitality elixir dominated the conversation, creating an unexpected camaraderie among the nobility as they shared their thoughts, doubts, and hopes for this mysterious concoction.

Little did they realize that their collective interest in the elixir would set in motion a chain of events that would weave their destinies together in ways they couldn\'t foresee. The allure of the elixir had cast a spell over the nobles, promising a potential revolution in their personal lives.
The news of Reaves\' improved marital life and the vitality elixir spread like wildfire through the aristocratic circles of Castra city. Eager to experience the reputed benefits, nobles flocked to Selina\'s medicine shop, creating an unexpected surge in demand.
As Selina dealt with the influx of customers, some nobles engaged in discreet conversations, sharing their expectations and experiences with the elixir. A lord, having secured a vial of the elixir, couldn\'t resist boasting to his friends about the newfound vitality in his intimate affairs.
"If this elixir truly lives up to its reputation, perhaps we should consider renaming it the Elixir of Marital Bliss!" remarked one of the noble always one for a quip,
Selina, managing the bustling shop with a calm demeanor, overheard the banter and couldn\'t help but smile. She was astutely aware of the impact her elixir had on the nobility, and the burgeoning demand made her business thrive.
As nobles eagerly purchased the elixir, Selina discreetly limited the supply, creating an air of exclusivity around the product. Some customers, desperate to secure their share, even offered additional commissions to ensure they could continue benefiting from the elixir\'s effects."Keep this additional change and please secure double for me next time, I will pay extra" a noble said as he hand some cash over to Selina. "Alright, I will keep you in mind" Selina responded keeping the bag of money in her drawer.
The common folk in Castra city, fueled by curiosity and a desire for improved vitality, caught wind of the elixir\'s popularity among the aristocracy. Rumors and speculations about the mysterious potion circulated through the city streets, transforming the Russell family\'s vitality elixir into a topic of conversation and intrigue. "The Russell family hired an expert to make this elixir, I heard they are giving him everything he demands just to remain in the family" someone among the crowd said.
"Is that true, I thought they are the one that discovered this in their ancestors yard and hired an expert to make it" another person said his opinion.
Selina, as the sole distributor of the Vitality elixir, became a figure of interest and speculation. Some wondered about the elixir\'s composition, while others speculated on Selina\'s motives. The medicine shop, once a quiet establishment, now hummed with activity as hopeful customers sought the transformative elixir.
The buzz surrounding the vitality elixir reached beyond the aristocratic circles, creating a palpable sense of anticipation and curiosity among the residents of Castra city. Little did they know that this elixir, initially embraced for its intimate benefits was create entirely for another purpose.
Selina returned to the Russell family residence with news of the vitality elixir\'s success among the nobility. As she relayed the details of the skyrocketing demand and the increased price of the elixir, the atmosphere in the room was filled with a mix of joy and anticipation.
Nora, Madeline, and Monica were gathered in the sitting room, attentively listening to Selina\'s report. Madeline, being the head of the family, couldn\'t help but feel a surge of pride. The Russell family\'s elixir was not only improving the lives of those who consumed it but was also becoming a symbol of the family\'s rising prominence.
Madeline, with a knowing smile, expressed her satisfaction, "It seems Nexus\'s efforts in the lab are truly paying off. The elixir is not just a remedy; it\'s become a coveted luxury."
Monica, always perceptive, chimed in, "The demand is soaring, but isn\'t Nexus overworking himself to meet it? I hardly see him these days. It\'s as if he\'s chained to the lab."
Madeline, balancing the pride of success with concern for Nexus her family savior, nodded in agreement. "It\'s true. Nexus is dedicating himself entirely to the elixir production. We should ensure he takes some time off to rest. His well-being is just as important as the success of the elixir."
Selina suggested, "Perhaps we should organize a small gathering to celebrate the success of the elixir. It would give Nexus a reason to take a break and enjoy the fruits of his labor."
Madeline agreed, "That\'s a good idea. We can invite some close friends and allies. It\'ll be a moment of joy and relaxation for Nexus."
"But we have to let Nexus know first, he may not really want that," Nora said after a while. "Don\'t you think so?" she asked the others.
"Yes that\'s true, he don\'t really like party or public gathering." they all agreed to Nora\'s word.
As they discussed how to tell Nexus the plans for the celebration, the room resonated with a mix of familial pride, concern for Nexus, and anticipation of the Russell family\'s continued ascent in the city\'s social and economic landscape.
Nexus, consumed by the alchemical process in the lab, was indeed oblivious to the concerns and discussions taking place among Nora, Madeline, and Monica. For him, crafting the vitality elixir was not just a means to elevate the Russell family\'s standing; it was a personal journey of skill refinement and alchemical mastery.
As he meticulously measured ingredients and controlled the temperature with his heavenly flame, Nexus felt a profound sense of satisfaction. The rhythmic dance of the flame and the alchemical reactions mirrored the harmony he sought within himself. Crafting the elixir was more than a duty; it was an art, an expression of his growing proficiency in alchemy.
In his thought, Nexus reflects, "This process is not just about meeting the demand."
