Chapter 567: Milorna Awakens, The Deep Sea Church

Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the past, during battles with a group known as the Sea Heirs, many soldiers and residents in the territory of the Ocean Crown suffered from their poison. This toxin was extremely hard to detect and challenging to eliminate.

The only expert alchemist in the territory, Lady Irona, conducted research and manufactured antidotes to neutralize this neurotoxin under the guidance of Ji Chen.

Ji Chen turned his hand and handed over a vial containing a shimmering silver liquid, saying, “This is the antidote to neutralize the poison.”

After drinking the antidote, Milorna, who had been in a coma, gradually regained some color in her face. Her eyebrows relaxed, her breathing steadied, and her body stopped trembling. For the first time, a serene expression appeared on her face, causing Julius and Monica to breathe a sigh of relief.

Especially Julius, visibly relaxed when he saw his wife’s condition improve. He sat by her bedside, tightly holding Milorna, his eyes fixed on her, like any ordinary husband deeply concerned for his wife.

Ji Chen and Monica left the room, leaving it to the Grand Duke and Duchess.

“Based on past experience, after taking the antidote, it won’t be long before she wakes up. However, her body is still weak and needs sufficient rest and proper nourishment.”

“The advanced life potions 1 provided earlier will help to some extent in facilitating the duchess’ recovery.”

Monica nodded quickly, wiping away a tear from the corner of her eye, and said with a choked voice, “Lord Ji Chen, if it weren’t for you this time, my mother might have…”

Ji Chen shook his head. “What’s more important is that you should quickly find out how Lady Milorna was poisoned and, more urgently, determine the source of this neurotoxin. Otherwise, if it spreads on a large scale, it will attract attention and could pose a serious problem.”

Based on his own impressions and the accounts of oceanic heroes like Anina, the Sea Heirs, aside from their leader, were not known for their intelligence. Most of the time, their only thought was to devour. They were unlikely to use such methods as poisoning a human duchess.

There was no necessity or feasibility in it.

The eerie and otherworldly appearance of the Sea Heirs was something that anyone would find extremely malevolent.

Therefore, he speculated that it was the work of humans, who had somehow obtained the neurotoxin and used it to poison someone, possibly with some hidden agenda.

Monica nodded with a grave expression. If what Ji Chen had said earlier was true, then this matter was not just about her mother; it also concerned the safety of the entire duchy.

“I will take it very seriously and ensure that everyone remains vigilant.”

Ji Chen nodded and was about to say something when they suddenly heard Julius’s excited voice from the room.

“My wife, you’ve finally awakened!”

Ji Chen and Monica exchanged glances and entered the room together. Milorna, lying on the bed, had indeed awakened. She leaned against the headboard, but her eyes still held a sense of confusion and weakness.

Her well-maintained face exuded grace and elegance, with a regal air. It was evident that Milorna had been a rare beauty in her youth.

“What happened to me? I feel like 1 had a very long and terrible nightmare with lots of evil monsters trying to devour me…” Milorna said with a frown as she looked at Julius.

Julius, full of concern, gazed at his wife and whispered, “It’s nothing, just a dream, nothing serious.”

Suddenly, Milorna looked at Julius and furrowed her brow. “You must be hiding something from me. Is there something between us that cannot be spoken of?”

Julius initially wanted to conceal something, but after being glared at by Milorna, he sighed helplessly and briefly explained the events of the past few days.

“Does that mean someone secretly poisoned me?”

Julius nodded heavily and softly inquired, “My wife, do you remember encountering anyone suspicious before this happened?”

“Suspicious individuals?” Milorna looked a bit puzzled. “1 don’t think I paid much attention to that. But the people around me were my maidservants who have been serving me for decades, so it’s unlikely to be them.

I do remember that I was watering the garden at the time, and then I sat in the pavilion to have some food. It was the fruits and wine offerings. After that, I felt a bit tired and went back to my room, and then…”

Ji Chen and Monica exchanged glances. “Fruits and wine offerings?”

Julius suddenly realized, gritted his teeth, and said, “Those fruits and wine were originally offerings for me. Milorna accidentally consumed them, which is why…”

This man’s face was filled with self-blame and guilt.

He would rather have been poisoned himself than let his wife endure such a nightmare and suffering.

“What are you talking about? The duchy cannot afford to lose anyone, especially not you…”

Milorna noticed Monica and Ji Chen standing behind and her eyes suddenly brightened.

“You must be Ji Chen, the one Monica mentioned earlier, right?”

Ji Chen smiled slightly and bowed. “Yes, I am Ji Chen, Lady Milorna.”

“Previously, you saved Monica, and now you’ve saved my life as well. In addition to the contributions you made in this war, I truly don’t know how to repay your kindness.”

Milorna looked at the distinguished Ji Chen and chuckled. “You look much more handsome than the Grand Duke did in his youth.. How about as a token of gratitude, we betroth Monica to you, and you come to serve in our Valencia family as our son-in-law?”
