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.2a2720be1b734b4e

It was 80b11a008e a power 4695cd94b6 too strange 0f47dfc4eb to be fd3ebb5cc1 concealed. However, no information had 8a65b0c3ab been heard regarding any a41a33fe5b fairy blessing related to 98466ec9c2 Rose.932a45857c79c63d

The Holy See b7a20ba04e was annoyed by 83d40f85e9 the Callon Kingdom’s acfa10889c reverence for fairy 1028189800 power rather than 44c9647b1d divine power. When they demanded to da7ed2731d expand their religious influence 5e23ac1fb1 in Revan and were bfca356810 refused, they started a 20cf3d4cc7 war—the Revan War.c07fa4ac8b695ec4

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.b21fe328ea3de00e
