Volume 7 Chapter 71: Honey Citrus Milk

Everyone turned to see a man by the door. Keith's brows knitted as he stared; that look annoyed him. It could mean two things; the man was a bother and an annoyance. It was true.

"...Uncle." Krystal's and Winston's dark expression said it all. Rodrick commented, "Krystal, is this really what you say to your uncle?"

"..." So he's the one who caused this mess. Keith could already tell he was the culprit for all of the misgivings that occurred. Rodrick shook his head and said, "I need to speak with you. Come to my office."

"I'm meeting my mother."

"Are you really going against my words?" Rodrick frowned. However, "I will meet my mother first, Interim head." That interim head was emphasized heavily.

"..." That altered Rodrick's expression. Krystal didn't even give him a glance as she turned to Keith, "Let's go." She grabbed his hand and quickly brought him in, pushing Rodrick away from the door.

"I take it that you don't get along with that guy?"

"..." Krystal's expression was pitch black as she stared straight, not looking at him.

"..." No answer is always a bad sign. Especially so with Krystal.

Winston explained, "Sir Rodrick and Young Lady's Father had been fighting for the position of head since childhood. However, the young lady's Father was the one chosen. Sir Rodrick was given the title of Count. However, there has been discordever since then."

"I see." Everything makes even more sense after hearing that.

"And that guy has always been taking slights at my father," Krystal muttered. She saw everything. Whenever Rodrick came to the duchy, he would insult her father in any way possible. However, her father would shake it off. For the girl, it was in her mind all the time.

"We're here," The group approached a big door.

"Mother!" Krystal quickly walked over to her. Krystal's mother didn't respond. She lay in bed, unconscious. Her face looked slightly off, but she was quite beautiful.

"How long has she been like this?!" Krystal turned to Winston.

"The madam has been like this recently. I've been feeding her. But she's continuing to become weary."

"..." Krystal's complexion continued to pale as she stared.

"Can I get a look?" A gentle voice called out in this despair.

"Keith! Please save her!" How could she forget? As long as Keith was here, he could heal her!

"I will do whatever I can." Keith was not a miracle worker. However, he wouldn't give up.

Keith walked over to Krystal's mother. One look and he could tell what was wrong. She's malnourished. She didn't have enough vitamins in her body.

Keith turned to Winston, "What have you been feeding her these last few days?"

"I've been feeding her some soup."

"What was in the soup?"

"Umm, boiled meat and potatoes. We added some vegetables."

"…I see." Keith shook his head. No wonder. Those vegetables and meat didn't have any nutrients. Not only that, there was also the problem with boiling it. That sapped most of the nutrients from the food.

"I think the first thing we need to do is to make her recover her health." Before she could drink or eat anything, she needed her body to recover.

A bottle appeared in his hand,

"What's that?"

"Honey." Dragon honey's healing capabilities were not something to be undermined. It would reinvigorate one's body. It was slightly worse than a variant. However, the honey was better in this situation.

"Honey? How is honey going to help our duchess?" Winston frowned. A simple honey wasn't going to change the duchess's condition.

"Mmhmm. We're going to need some fat as well. I'm going to use milk from a water cow." The milk of a water cow contained great fat content. It would definitely help her out.

"Mix the two together." Keith mixed the milk and honey together. He created a small fire in his hands, letting it heat up; he zested some lemon on top of the milk. The honey citrus milk was finished.

Keith held the woman in his arms, slowly pouring the milk down her throat. It was a gentle and caring nature.

"Good, she drank all of it. The effects should be happening after an hour or so." The dragon honey's healing factor wasn't something that could be undermined.

"I will stay by her side." Winston said, "Princess, you must go to the office."

"…I understand." Krystal sighed, "Keith, can you come with me? I don't feel like being there alone with them."

"Sure." Keith smiled as he got up. Winston blinked as he stared at the two. However, the two of them head off into the office.
