PTB Chapter 13

Although the powers of the royal family were officially revealed only after the coming-of-age ceremony, the palace had long been aware of each other’s blessings, passed from one to another.fb050557ba090bdc

It was 1226ee8c70 a power 07484972d2 too strange 3081f16580 to be fed3869cc7 concealed. However, no information had 32088ca971 been heard regarding any 509e61c2b7 fairy blessing related to 2f1425f975 Rose.bb5ec4b6af969abd

The Holy See 518cee3709 was annoyed by 95a6e4ab97 the Callon Kingdom’s f642aacbf5 reverence for fairy dca2f1ddb8 power rather than 380221d6ed divine power. When they demanded 814b402995 to expand their e4a61cf7cb religious influence in f3fc890827 Revan and were 00bfc6eb75 refused, they started 1066da6dbb a war—the Revan 0ae2d98700 War.d7bb21c499cb0b4e

The Callon king at the time relied solely on the fairy’s blessing and joined the war, only to suffer a crushing defeat by the Holy Knights and the Eastern Alliance. After the Callon Empire was founded, Emperor Basca institutionalized the fair competition for the throne known as the Evgienia Arrangement to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.3db8c39fe6afc8f5
