Chapter 52 - Treating others part 1 (1/2)
[Diana point of view]
[One day before starting the treatment to the masses]
[At Diana's personal room]
”No, you can't!” [Diana]
Since Ash had helped in curing Qis from the endemic disease, Qis vitality had greatly improved. So much so that she looks almost fine from one simple glance, something you wouldn't expect from someone who's previously gravely on danger of dying.
”But Princess! You being there alone is without a doubt dangerous!” [Qis]
”I do have the twelve hidden guards with me, as well as some adventures that are hired to look after each place. So it will be fine, you just have to rest!” [Diana]
”Then, I'll come to visit you, not as the royal guard, but as a friend” [Qis]
”And what difference will it make!” [Diana]
Qis have been reluctant on leaving me behind without any sort of proper protection. Even when she was sick, she still power herself through just to accompany me. Well, Qis is tough. I still remember Qis, Linda and Alice, those three were once actively studying and training together just to become female guard and mages supporting the country, which sadly are male predominant. In an environment that doesn't really cultivated woman potentials, those three were once a rare gem, they're even closed breaking the noble-commoner barrier, but ever since Linda's...
”Please wait for a while, I'll get my rapier back” [Qis]
”Sigh... you will not bulge on this one no matter what I say” [Diana]
I'm worried, but instead of forcing her to rest, I'll just let her take a stroll with me, that way she can have an ease of mind
Since she did ask me to wait, I should utilize this time to its fullest
Let see, letters from THAT PRINCESS. Sigh... why did she always do things like this. She should have been more aware of her position (not that I'm one to speak). Let see... strange monster in Malsia with strange weapon, from its description, doesn't it sound exactly like a scythe, the one that Ash have been using
Letter from Saintess Rumia... I see. There're some activities suggestive of the R&D from the church do responsible for the strange portal magic stone that Ash brought us after his fight with the King Behemoth. There's still some mystery behind the stones but most importantly, why leave such a precious thing inside a dungeon? Even Rumia herself couldn't figure it out yet
Ahh, letters from Sir Ceanu Reaves. His journey to different countries just to search for talents to be recruited do bore some fruits. Still, I hope he comes back soon, the Duke's household is in serious mess, and personally speaking, I don't think anyone from that household besides him is competent enough to run the house. Even dad think the same
There are several more letters, but most of them aren't that really important. There's even an invitation to the Holy Palace... that guy really is persistent, I have already lost count how many times I had rejected the offer
”Sorry for making you wait” [Qis]
”Its fine, shall we go?” [Diana]
For now, let just meet with those young healers. They're mostly women, with some men, all from the lower class family. If the country didn't take any opportunities to grab ahold of these young healers, the church will proclaim them to be theirs, and in turn will have their palm on health policies. I can't let them do that! Still, the sad (or should I say the expected) thing here is that both the church and other noble have been throwing accuses just to deter this plan. They even tell such obvious lie to the citizen just to sway theirs support from me
