Priestess Of The Land

Walking back towards the bed, after Tria washed her hands, she started disinfecting the prime minister's son wound. Then using some golden needles and silk thread, she stitched up the wound while subtly transferring healing energy towards it to accelerate the healing process. She needed him to wake up as soon as possible to convince the prime minister of her skills so she can get what she wanted.

Finished after half an hour, there was some color returning to the prime minister's son's face. He started moving and mumbling under his breath, hearing this, the prime minister who was slumped on the ground ran towards his son.

"Adi, oh Adi, you have finally woken up," he said while he cried and hugged his son.

"Father?"

"Yes, yes, I'm here, you can talk to me."

"What happened, did I die?"

"No son, you did not die, this good doctor has saved your life," he said while looking gratefully towards Tria.

Hearing that he was not in the afterlife, the prime minister's son relaxed his body as he fell back into sleep.

"Let him rest, he needs to recover from all the blood loss, do not worry prime minister, he should get better over the next few days," said Tria, comforting him.

"Oh doctor, you have saved my son, whatever you need I will do my best to give...oh look at me! I have not even asked for your name," he said as he facepalmed himself laughingly, he had spent the entire time looking dejected, but now that his son was alright, he is as energetic as can be.

"My name is Thea."

"Miss Thea, this prime minister's name is Jafnaor Ardy, and my son is Adi Ardy, the boy's mother was my only partner in this lifetime after she left us, he is all I have, I just can't bear to lose him too."

"I understand prime minister Jafnaor, with the right care and nutrients, he'll be on his feet in no time."

"Oh, thank you, thank you, please follow me to my garden so we can discuss your compensation."

"Please," Tria signaled him out of the room as she follows him out.

The prime minister knew she was not interested in monetary compensation, so he was not aware of what she'll be asking. However, given that she has saved his son's life, he will try his best to accomplish her demands.

Arrived in the open garden, they both sat opposite of each other, as a servant served some sap beverages.

"Miss Thea, please tell me your demands, if it is something within my capabilities, I will do my best to achieve it…. even if it wasn't."

"How courteous of you, I do not have any tough requests, to put it simply, I have bought a piece of land and hope to build somewhat of a large…temple there, but I wish that to be completed as fast and as quietly as possible," she slowly said as she sipped on some hibiscus tea.

"That is your only request?"

"Yes."

Prime minister Jafnaor was dumbfounded, why would building a temple need to be built in secrecy?

"If you have any questions, please ask," said Tria

"No questions really, haha, you are my benefactor, it is simply building a temple…but may I ask what the purpose of it will be?"

"To be honest with you, prime minister, the priestess who has awoken has inspired me to do this, as a doctor, although I do not know where she is right now, that is the least I could do to show my support."

The prime minister finally understood, and he commended Tria for her bravery, there were so many people searching for the priestess, and even resorting to murdering countless innocent people, if the priestess heard there was a temple built for her, wouldn't she feel safer coming here? But that would also attract those corrupted people. The prime minister thought about it, but he ended up supporting the idea, then shook Tria's hand in agreement. He'll worry about it when it comes to that situation.

Tria then left, leaving behind the deed of the land, as well as the drawing plans for the temple. Which again shocked prime minister Jafnaor, the temple was enormous, and the location was extremely eye-catching, how was he going to secretly build such a large temple in the open like that?

Leaving the prime minister's tree house, Tria left behind some medicines as well as instructions on meals for Adi's recuperation. She and Mexi then made their way to their group's secret lodging.

"Senior sister good timing, sister Voni had just made some mushroom soup, hurry and grab a seat," said Ka'an upon seeing Tria's arrival, she has been very spirited lately.

"Sister Ka'an is already on her third bowl of soup, you're not having any more!" shouted Kal, he was around the same age as Ka'an so those two would constantly bicker around.

"Settle down, there's enough food for everyone to have seconds," said Talei as she welcomed Tria and Mexi with a bowl of soup each.

"Thank you sister Talei, but Mexi is probably going to eat more than three bowls, so I hope you all have already eaten," joked Tria.

"Senior sister!!!" yelped Mexi while pouting innocently.

Everyone started laughing.

Tria was happy that they were getting so close, Kal and Ka'an were bickering, Talei was offering more food while Voni was cooking, and Seti and Khen just sat in a corner eating and laughing.

Tria did not have the luxury to eat with her family in her past life, not even this body's previous owner had that experience. This joy she was feeling, she wanted to cherish it as much as she could. Looking towards the mountain range, she wanted to help take away the people's pain and negative energy as much as she could, so they could someday live freely as well.

Looking back at the group who was lazing around from eating up too much, she thought it was finally time for them awaken their undeveloped potential.

"Now that everyone has eaten, follow me to the back, it's time to work on your cultivation."
