Charlotte "Lotte" Soller, a bright-eyed nine-year-old, began her service to the de Médicis nobility at four, laboring alongside her mother, Catherine. Assigned as personal attendant to Farma de Médicis, she tended to his daily needs with infectious cheerfulness and a bubbly demeanor, endearing herself to the household. Over time, her bond with Farma deepened, shifting from dutiful service to genuine friendship, tinged with unspoken affection from her side. Early health struggles, including skin irritation from harsh scrubbing, were alleviated by Farma’s medicinal cream—a kindness that sparked her interest in his work. Driven by concern for her mother’s weathered hands, she immersed herself in Farma’s pharmaceutical projects. When he founded the Parallel World Pharmacy, she traded household chores for clerical duties, bridging the gap between nobility and commoners by gathering public feedback to foster trust in the pharmacy’s mission. Her innate artistic talent, marked by vibrant illustrations, caught the eye of Empress Elisabeth II, earning royal patronage and a prestigious apprenticeship. Juggling palace art studies with pharmacy responsibilities, she remained steadfast in supporting Farma’s vision. Lotte’s journey weaves loyalty with adaptability, threading through roles as servant, clerk, and artist. Her growth—rooted in overcoming health challenges and channeling creativity into service—anchors her contributions to both pharmacy and court. Though the web novel’s conclusion resets her narrative trajectory, her ultimate destiny in the rewritten timeline lingers unresolved.
