I found the princess and kierra in the garden under the pergola.
Stone columns, four of them,worn smooth at the base where the garden met the structure. The latticed roof above her was thick with climbing vines — dark green leaves pressing through every gap. Filtering the morning light into something soft and scattered. I had a small wooden table which contained an intricate design. Three chairs,
Rivena was also present,she is her personal bodyguard who remains by her side all the time. Her attitude towards me is sort of — indifferent. She has never exchanged a word with me nor have I seen her talk with others.
They were enjoying the tea and chatting until I showed up.
Their conversation died down and all three turned to me.
“Good morning princess.” I said,slightly bowing down.
“You took your time coming here,” the princess said.
“Well I was preparing something.” pulling out the grimoire and handing it to her. “and I want to talk about the treatment.”
“It look like a expensive book.” kierra said, took the book from her and tried to open it, which she couldn't. “Why is it not opening?”
Rivena and the princess look at me, anticipating an answer.
It looks like it's something unique to this world. Even the princess didn't understand what it was.
I explained. “Its something only the princess can open and read. It is related to her treatment. Please read it when you have time to spare but before the treatment.”
“And what you need to talk about regarding the treatment.” the princess said.
“There are certain things which you need to follow without question during the treatment.” I looked at her,asking permission to continue.
“That depends on what you will ask me.”
“First you cannot put strain on your body during the treatment. Like fighting and dungeon expeditions. Practice that's most I can allow. Second, no usage of mana or mana related techniques except what's written in the book that I have given. Third and last. My healing is not similar to anything you have seen until now. I have performed my method on kierra once,she can answer your questions.”
“Your first and second condition can't be followed.”
“I know you have doubts about my origin and intention.” I put a hand over my sternum and said. “Whether it's your health or politics you remain healthy and prosper, it's my sole intention.”
She looked at my face searching for something. Without saying anything she looked away,

Kierra said the princess agreed to my conditions and she will follow my procedures. She also answered the question that has been bugging me. Yes, Rivena can talk but she only converses with the princess and her.
I spend the rest of the time in the library reading more about this world.
The name of the Continent is ERVENHAL and there are three more continents divided by ocean, Arkenfall has 8 neighbouring countries Valdremor, Solveine,Thessavar,Carenthal,Duskmere,Unbound reaches,Ironspire and Ashenveil. Out of these only Thessavar is the only country that rivals Arkenfall. Despite it being smaller in territory and numbers they have a superior army,
Arkenfall does not fall short in military but its majority resources go towards maintaining dungeons and labyrinths. There is quite the difference in which the dungeons and labyrinth manifested. The dungeon has been present here for eternity. But the labyrinth was built in a manner so it can absorb both the mana from the dungeon and mana that comes from the unexplored mountains region which share boundaries with Arkenfall.
Who built them there is no documentation. They are classified into three types: Trail labyrinth, Seal labyrinth and Gate labyrinth. Trial labyrinths are simple to conquer and have an endless stream of low level monsters, Seal labyrinths are never meant to be opened as they contain terrors of the past. The gate labyrinth's entrance changes location every time.
The Arkenfall family is the first family to try and establish a city in this dangerous area, but they succeeded in doing so and have built one of the strongest within the continent, But this also attracted attention and strong scrutiny. The heir of Arkenfall cannot marry into another kingdom. And they are also immensely involved in who will be crowned the next king or queen.
Thats pretty much the synopsis of what i read today,

The princess bedroom.
She was laying down on her bed naked, her bottom was covered by a piece of cloth. Kierra and Rivena were both present there. But rivena was carrying her weapon unsheathed,
Wooow they really don't trust anybody. I don't want to think what they would have done to have this kind of distrust of other people. System my fate lies on your hand.
[ COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING MISSION TO EARN COINS AND BOND POINT]

[MISSION 4 — KISS HER FEET ( 50 COINS AND 5 BOND POINTS)]
[MISSION 5 — HUG HER NAKED BODY (50 COINS AND 5 BOND POINTS )]
Why does everybody want me dead? AAh i also cant trust anybody.
I put all the unnecessary thoughts away and focus on the treatment part. I have spent 150 coins out of 160 coins to buy the other necessary items which I remembered I needed while working on Kierra.
“Princess, you don't have to lay on the bed.” I said, while figuring out where to set up the standard medical table.
“Whats in the bag.” kierra said,
Deciding to set it just beside the bed. and said, “Something I would need.”
I completed setting up the table. And told the princess to lay on the table and the correct way to lay down. I have already brought out each item in advance so i dont have to pull it out from the inventory and raise my suspicion further. Kierra has brought all the items to the rooms in advance.
Now the treatment starts.
