Chapter 11 - Duties I'll Have as the Holy Quitom

 I take a seat on the couch across from where Leislia is now sitting. "So, Lerape, you do know that you will have lots of duties as our kingdoms Holy Quitom right?" "Yes. I've heard briefly of it from the King." "Well, as you may or may not know, lots of people show up to the temple hurt, sick, and on the brink of death each day. There are currently only 3 known healer Sequils. They work day and night at the temple doing their best but they aren't enough. While adding one more healer may make a difference in the reality of it, it won't make much. I am almost 1,000 percent sure that you can do far more things than simply heal. You are the Holy Quitom after all. So we've decided to have you trained by the High priest once a week. Every Wednesday. You will learn all of the things you are capable of doing as the Daughter of God and you will learn how to be able to serve your people." "I see. Will I be forced to live in the Temple after my training is complete?" Leislia looks at me shocked. "No! Of course not, while it was by adoption, you are still, now currently an Imperial Princess. The Temple has a lot of influence but they cannot force you to do anything. Maybe some time along the line they may send an official request but I'm sure His Majesty will never make you go there if you do not wish to." "I see." She looks at me for a while. "I know that you just got here. Things may feel rushed. I apologize if that's the case. I'll try to go as slow as possible but since you only have 4 more months before you come of age, we will have to move quite quickly." "I see. Don't worry sister. While yes things are going quite quickly, I truly don't wish to slow people down. I'll try my best to learn quickly and not to become a burden." "Oh you could never be a burden, don't say that!" I laugh a little. I've been a burden all my life. Not that I wish to bring up my wretched pass To Leislia. She's lived a life of comfort in the Palace. While she isn't the Crown Princess, she is destined to either marry an extremely high noble, or another royal from a neighboring kingdom. Everythings been paved for her. I'm sure hearing things such as a child being beaten brutally to the brink of death might make her vomit. She hasn't been through what I have. People call me this Divine thing but even though that's true I can't just forget my past. Where I grew up, being poor. I can't just accept that I'm a princess now overnight. That all will take time.
