CH 72

When the treatment was over and I opened the door of the big room, Prince Corini immediately gathered the helpers and was waiting.

“Your Highness Corini, I have something to tell you before administering nutrition.”

Crane asked Prince Corini and explained the patients’ situation and suggest to pull out the arrows.

“I see, from the fifth day, is it no good anymore? Understood. They will be moved to another room. I will also move the people who were treated to a separate room and pull out the arrows. I will be able to tell you the result tomorrow.”

Prince Corini instructed the knight who came to help, and immediately transferred the patients from the fifth day to the seventh day to another room, and instructed them to move the patients who were treated to another separate room after feeding.

The patients were carried out, and about 80 patients from the first day to the fourth day remained in the room.

The helpers gathered for nutrition assistance were 30 knights and 10 apprentice doctors from the royal palace.

“Is that the rumored human princess? Anyway, she won’t do anything except watch.”

“You can say it. It’s just a hindrance.”

I can hear the whispering voice, and I feel the cold gaze from everyone.

“Thank you all for coming together. I’m Crane, a royal doctor of the Kingdom of Tenar. This is Her Royal Highness Princess Lilith, and she is here as my assistant.”

“I’m Lilith, the wife of Gresis, the third prince of the Tenar Kingdom. Nice to meet you.”

I gave a lady-like bow and smiled.

“. . . . .”

When I introduce myself, everyone reacts in the same way every time.

Gresis-sama says they are all fascinated by Lilith. What a joke, but I don’t know the truth.

I want to believe that the impression is not bad.

When my greeting was over, Crane opened his mouth.

“Now, patients do not eat or drink, and at the same time they are in danger of starvation as well as the insanity disease. The administration of nutrition is urgent. I’ll explain the procedure now.”

The procedure is to first get the patient up, pry open the mouth, and put a funnel with an elongated tube into the patient’s mouth.

The tube extends to the stomach, so it seems to have the effect of preventing accidental ingestion.

Pour about half a cup of thick herbal tea into the funnel set in the mouth little by little for 20 seconds.

After pouring everything, remove the funnel, close the mouth, put the upper body on the prepared cushion, and maintain the raised position for about 30 minutes.

Apply it to everyone who is sleeping three times a day.

It is the knights who lifts up the patients’ bodies, maintains the position, and opens the mouth.

The work of inserting and pulling out the funnel is done by the doctor.

It was decided that the extra knights would be in charge of flushing herbal tea while counting 20 seconds.

While deciding on the division of roles, the medicinal herbal tea with a high nutritional effect, which was pre-made by Crane’s instructions in a memo, was ready to be divided into cups.

Like everyone else, I put the gloves on my hand right away.

“Then, I’ll help flush the herbal tea.”

“Eh?”

The eyes of everyone who came to help gathered on me.

“Don’t tell me that Princess Lilith is going to take care of the lower class?”

Prince Corini asked me as if he represented everyone’s opinion.

“Yes, you need as much manpower as you can get, and if we all do it together, it will be over more quickly, right?”

“That’s true, but are you serious?”

The mystery was confirmed by Prince Corini.

Did you hear it as a joke?

“Yes. Because it’s a consistent treatment. I think it’s natural as an assistant.”

“. . . Is that so?”

Prince Corini is silent as if thinking.

“If you’re done talking, I’ll start working, so please excuse me.”

It was a waste of time, so I immediately took a cup of herbal tea and headed to the patient who had a funnel in his mouth.

“Nice to meet you, my name is Lilith. May I ask your name?”

“What?”

“Huh?”

I surprised the knight and the doctor working in a pair.

“. . . I’m the knight Martis.”

“. . . I’m Nell, an apprentice doctor at the royal palace.”

They told me their names even though they were wary.

“Martis, Nell, thank you. Then I’ll add herbal tea. One, two, three. . . . .”

While counting for 20 seconds, I poured a glass of herbal tea into the funnel.

“Thank you for your hard work, you did a great job.”

After pouring the herbal tea, I gently stroked the patient’s throat.

“Martis, Nell, please do the rest.”

After calling out with a smile, I go to another pair with a new cup again.

After hearing the names and greeting them, pour herbal tea into the funnel.

I repeated it until all the cups of herbal tea prepared for everyone was gone.

It was past one o’clock in the afternoon that the herbal tea administration was over and all the patients were put to bed in their original position.

The treated patients were moved to a separate room, and the work was completed.

“Next time, please come at 6 o’clock in the evening.”

“Yes.”

Crane said the end greetings, and everyone who helped us went to lunch, and we also returned to the royal palace in a horse-drawn carriage to have lunch.

“I’ll stop by the garden and go back to my room. Crane can go back first.”

“I understand. Then, please let me know when you go to the sanatorium.”

I parted with Crane and headed to the garden in the royal palace with an escort.

The site of the garden is vast, and it’s fun to discover something new every time you walk.

I found a place where a lot of small flowers were blooming and sat on a bench nearby.

Actually, if I use Healer, it’s ideal to touch nature right away, but this time there is the administration of herbal tea, so it’s difficult.

When I helped with the infectious disease, I used Healer 30 times a day, but it was helpful that Crane decided that it would be better to treat 20 people considering my physical condition.

To be honest, only ten people in the morning was a little suffocating and my body was heavy.

If there were more than ten people, I might not have been able to administer herbal tea.

I close my eyes, slowly take a deep breath many times, and absorb natural energy.

My body became lighter and I was able to relieve my shortness of breath.

I spread my arms wide and took a deeper breath.

The faint sweet scent of flowers, the refreshing autumn wind and blue sky, and the faint swaying sound of grass and trees.

Everything is comfortable and healing.

Natural energy was also well absorbed.

I look up at the sky and regain my spirit.

“Okay, I think I can do my best again.”

“Don’t overdo it too much from the first day.”

Before I knew it, Gresis-sama was sitting next to me.

“Eh? Gresis-sama!? Why?”

“I met Crane on my way to work after having lunch. I heard that you were in the garden, so I came to see your face, but it looked very painful.”

For some reason, Gresis-sama noticed.

I’m happy that he caresses my cheek with his finger.

“But it’s within the range of okay. Because Crane adjusted it in advance.”

“That’s fine, but don’t overdo it and rely on Crane and the escorts. Got it?”

Even though it’s a command tone, the expression is very gentle.

“Yes. Gresis-sama, please take care too.”

I gently grasped the fingers away from my cheek.

I want to hold it all the time.

“Oh. I’m going.”

We intertwined our fingers together and parted regretfully.

After seeing Gresis-sama off, I went back to my room and had lunch.

In order to finish the healing before six o’clock, I will go to the sanatorium in a carriage with Crane again.

A little after finishing 10 more healings, 18 new patients were brought in.

Unlike other patients, there is a bandage on the hind legs.

I’m sure that Gresis-sama and the others must have blocked the movement today.

Herbal tea is also administered to the new patients.

“I’ll pour herbal tea.”

“Yes, go ahead.”

A pair of a knight who fixed the patient and an apprentice doctor who put the funnel in the patient’s mouth responded willingly.

“Your Royal Highness Princess Lilith, we are also ready.”

When I had a cup, the other pair started to call out to me.

“I’m going now.”

No one looked coldly at me anymore.

Tomorrow, depending on the results of the patients who had the arrows removed, we may have to choose to abandon them here.

I definitely don’t like that.

Please be sane even if you regain consciousness.

Sitting on a bench in the garden in the royal palace, I looked up at the night sky with a feeling of praying while taking a deep breath.

The beautiful and shining full moon is okay. And I felt like it was cheering me up.

Hopefully they wake up sane. They already have to give up hope on enough people.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
