Volume 7 Chapter 76: Young Miss!

"Good morning, you two." When Keith and Krystal entered the room, Violet greeted with a gentle smile.

"Ms.Violet, you look so much better than before." Her skin was dulled out from yesterday. But she looked so much more vibrant. Like someone had splashed some gloss on her. Eating the dragon honey and tomatoes was highly effective.

"I feel the fatigue from yesterday has vanished. I believe I could walk any moment now." Violet's hand moved with newfound energy as if ready to leap out of bed. However, Krystal's concern held her back.

"Mother, don't,"

Violet shook her head, "How did my daughter become such a worry wart?" She thought her daughter would become like her. But she was more like her father!

"Please stay in bed for a few more days. Also, I will prepare breakfast." Keith started to cook. Since she could move so much, slightly solid foods should be okay. Dragon honey worked magics.

"Here you are, smoked orc sausage and scrambled eggs. I also made a small fruit salad as well." Making all of this was simple enough.

"Delicious." The scrambled eggs were easy to eat; slight chews were enough for it to go down.

"By the way, I've been meaning to ask this, but why do you call me Ms.Violet?" Violet realized the child had been calling her that the whole day yesterday.

"Because you're the grand duchess." He was being respectful.

"There's no need to do that. Just call me Aunty Violet. Or you can call me mother-in-law." Violet grinned. Both were great options for her.

"Mother!" Krystal almost spat out her food.

"Relax."

"Then I will call you Aunty." Keith smiled. After they had finished their meal.

"There's pressing matters to deal with." Krystal turned to Winston, "Winston, when did Sterling retire?"

"Huh?! Sterling retired?" Violet blinked. This was news to her.

Winston could only grab his head, "Princess, Madam, things have changed over these last few months."

"Explain what had happened." A few months. That was not normal at all.

"Rodrick said that he wanted to fire Sterling because he was unsuited to do it."

"...."

Creating power. That was something everyone had realized. Rodrick was trying to get everyone in the dukedom to have his side. By doing so, he could consolidate his power.

No wonder he was rude to Krystal. Dolus didn't call Krystal Young Miss or any formal greeting. He called her by the name. That only caused questions to form.

"With such a long gap in time, did Sterling leave the duchy?

"No. Sterling should still be residing in the dukedom. I told him to wait for the madam to heal before we deal with this." Winston couldn't let him go.

"You got a location of where he could be?"

"Yes," Winston nodded. "However, I don't know the exact location."

"Good enough. Keith and I would go find him then." Keith nodded. Like that, the two of them were off into the dukedom.

"Your home is pretty nice." Keith looked around.

"It would be if my uncle wasn't trying to take control." Krystal sighed, "This is tearing the city apart." The people who would suffer the most from all of this were the commoners. Fighting for power would definitely cause them to throw down.

"Young lady, you're back." As the two talked, someone called out. Krystal's expression brightened, "Hello, Linka. I came back after hearing what happened."

Linka's expression changed. She realized what she had said; she added, "None of us believe what was said about the grand duke. We know what kind of person the grand duke is. He will never do something like betray our kingdom." The grand duke was strict and loyal. He wouldn't do anything like betray the kingdom.

It was blasphemy!

"Thank you for your words."

"Also, is that your boyfriend?" Linka noticed the boy next to her.

"He isn't!" Krystal waved her hand. But the more she did that, the more Linka grew curious, "Our young lady is finally in that stage of her life."

As the two talked,

"Hahah!"

"Someone stole again."

"Are you serious?" Keith and Krystal stared at the situation.

Without any hesitation, the two of them dashed over! They were going to catch the culprit and beat him to a pulp. The culprit was no match for the two of them. In a matter of seconds, the two were already behind him. However, there was someone one step ahead of the two.

'You're not going anywhere." The culprit was thrown perfectly over the shoulder, slamming to the ground! It was a resounding slam.

That was a good throw. Everything from throwing to dropping the person was neat.

Krystal paused as she shouted, "Sterling!"

The middle-aged man turned to the voice, "Young Miss!"
