The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 485

Who is Nikolai, you ask? The one they called the Grandmaster of Alternative Healing, a veritable legend in alternative medicine, and heir to a dynasty of healers. The line of would–be apprentices eager to learn from him could stretch down Main Street! Nikolai needing a mentor was unheard of!

Sure, Mirabella seemed well–versed in pharmacology, but… the idea that a celebrated old–school healer like Nikolai would seek guidance from her was mind–boggling.

Knox watched Mirabella silently before finally asking, “You know a bit about healing arts, don’t you? His tone was matter–of–fact.

Without blinking, Mirabella replied, “A little… bit.”

“Heh,” Knox chuckled emotionlessly. If it were just ‘a little bit, Nikolai would probably, at most, want to take her as his apprentice, not immediately hail her as ‘little mentor. After all, Nikolai was not the kind of guy to throw around titles as a joke.

‘No wonder when I mentioned that Mirabella would make a fine culinary herbalist, that old–timer gave me such a strange look. He must have been in on the joke! Knox mused.

Thinking about it, it was not too far–fetched that a young woman with such deep knowledge of pharmacology would be adept in the healing arts. Some things were better left unexamined. Knox didn’t say another word about apprenticeship, hands clasped behind his back as he strolled into the kitchen.

To think of taking someone as an apprentice when even Nikolai wants to call her little mentor? It was like something out of a fantasy.
