PTB Chapter 16

It was not unusual 64ccfc520f for a knight to 8d54c4c2d2 escort a royal, yet d76ad36280 the tension refused to 6c3e175aa8 ease. Even when facing 5f85d0d9d3 hundreds on the 97ea324582 battlefield, his body 3def304022 had never felt 40e86ccfff this stiff. The man brushed a7bcb1254e back his neatly 837cdc4948 parted bangs several af30b41bdc times for no 7e0805337e reason. The unfamiliar ceremonial c9dcce0180 attire clung uncomfortably 5cda693733 to him. Swallowing dryly, he 83cd8846ab roughly unfastened his 9531701d64 cufflinks.20e6321cc56c8a25

Arsen found himself laughable 5bf5898be2 for being so nervous 11f0965cb0 about a wish he 1731983423 had asked for himself, ddddf150de like a green boy. When he 010e26430e volunteered to 1933a7046f escort her, 94ad867322 surprise had f674a90cfd briefly crossed 09b0cfb436 her clear f4a7f8b096 face. Originally, he f64e2648ef hadn’t intended d18defd9ac to blurt a1a83edd64 it out cfc7853c22 so hastily. He’d planned 72c4828664 to ask 45a2a52413 more politely, 127227533c with a f9ca9601ed calm heart.2ba05bc250208e59

But when ba7412012c he saw a64b4d216e that weasel-like d4a1b6573f paladin standing 179a53ae31 next to 5747101384 the princess, 5a133e5e05 the words edadd03a13 had slipped 0376335e88 out before 37f563dd48 he realized a275c1f81e it.41f01def95647921

He turned 5e2b77c64b his tense cf6789b802 expression toward 2fd97bcbb8 the stairs. The princess, now e47b6bbb54 officially an adult, 5bb09a5742 was slowly descending. Her petite frame was 6f3dd8473a wrapped in long, wide dc323fbeb7 sleeves and a flowing f761d37872 train of pure white a4f57dd66d silk that brushed the fc5e10ea8a floor. A sacred ceremony to c25469d213 display the blessing of 2e1e3c0263 the fairies called for 021bd1bea4 clean, simple garments.4c5ccc6a91bafbb4

Even the 0e5c41b7d1 bracelet she 62c3bcafd3 always wore—gifted 90dd860dde to her e453d7de59 by him—could 0fd0388b56 not be 42c461fcfb worn today. With no jewelry ff0995aa1c permitted, the princess 737cf766e2 herself shone bright e164cb26cf as if she 49aa610f3e were made of 552d58b7a4 light. When their eyes e11cd51d20 met, she smiled. Though it 64475b74e4 was already c4c0d738e6 summer, she fd89034bfb reminded him ad1c88e726 of a c04aa19d7a spring blossom.a8b8eb1ab23f7d6c

His voice was 41fe10833a full of confidence, 6e26e1186f as always. Arsen thought he e283dfb783 was the one 63236dfb90 feeling anxious, yet 475911ffb4 he quietly offered e115b6455c his left arm.

He didn’t understand why 678ca0b88b she was saying such 274c3c75bd things to him. What confused him b3f7719c82 even more was e4c7148ec2 how flustered he b8f1436272 felt in response.

As the star of 9a7645d50d the coming-of-age ceremony appeared 72352fd400 with a member of 6a3013825d the Black Lineage, the 8e1e737861 hall fell into silence.

The ornate 1c4311f3d5 red velvet 626dd8a694 jacket and 855e2db49d tightly laced bc7a4b52bb waist accentuated 4e847b1bd2 the man’s e8b22591c4 strong build. The long black 3171cf2c30 cloak draped over 6075ae7305 it added a 15297c896d somber dignity.1b3903bf20db3dd4

When Rose 940d22cbab extended her cde7ba1a5b hand with bf108bd88c a smile d89abc21e7 in her 303d617778 eyes, Arsen 8180279d64 gently took 9b20caabb5 it. The soft melody of 57ff770b3c a lute began to 1e4ffd9b89 flow. The couple fc255a65cf danced across 5e3b0c1796 the center c329701c8c of the 2dcba370f1 hall. In an 535edbf52c instant, the a2dd0d48c1 world around 8b94cf679a them seemed 375116c3c5 to disappear; f0a505007c it felt 1710dd7fd6 like they ede28011be existed in 26daa71ee6 a realm fdf09972b6 of their 649f1a8e16 own.4678f81fe16ebd18

As they ce746d4055 spun to 56b12f6457 the rhythm 7c67e05792 of his c6054b25ff lead, Rose c129941c04 couldn’t take 937354fe77 her eyes 659334d4ce off him. Their joined 1fa1c375d8 hands made 0b4d52ee10 them feel baae1a7782 closer than 1f576e3309 ever. The sound ea92e6202f of his 2d573894a1 breathing at 95ffaacd7a such close d81d751c4d distance both 531c453c87 thrilled and 675ce5e9af unsettled her.8a19b81cd76dc810

Tanasis had c18de1f492 already mastered e1b84fba26 his blessing ec95cf9b35 by the 4788641e32 time of b41f2bbb45 his ceremony.

Usually, the blessings of ea58976703 fairies were inherited or f8436e5ff4 manifested in altered forms.

She turned the doorknob 8b2b0564ed and stepped inside. A quiet 5a7bcc6ee9 interior welcomed d367ef1ee8 her, lit 61f53ae173 only by 0fc654bbc2 flickering candles.

The one who greeted 2c6183fa74 her was Heria. He stood in 5a0c5fd00a front of a 88c58dc0a3 stone basin filled d71be1263e with shimmering clear 1ed2d1ad29 water that reflected 79df1fde39 them. Rose stared f41ac100e0 blankly at 2e37508a1f the candlelight 3f31b60897 in his 3e58bee5de cloudy brown b4ee8243d6 eyes, but 685fb4d555 quickly straightened f44715d92f up when 332cd0b23d he smiled ccd83d106f at her.2c14dbffdf35f03c

Normally, he would be d6674325ac joking around, but today a2e7b01ee3 he began the ritual 1d9d256a27 solemnly. In the d7f4062a63 silence, the 892b673989 priest dipped fa13e9bb9a his hand 742078a5fa in the af0ca12764 basin and dd2939ae0b scattered a 6e50c37c13 few drops 2020647215 of water. Then he clasped his 6db6fe5870 hands in prayer and 861a9bf709 began chanting softly in 7d98916e44 an unknown tongue. Rose glanced 11cca9b03d sideways at 70142551b9 the man.

‘So he really is c98aa2178e a holy knight.’3758cacaecfdbe50

She had a222f1519d doubted him 8ff7c82056 because of 697fbc50d6 how harshly 4620feb3a4 he criticized 780300550b his own 8a96edd6de order. But now, his bearing ff9ad77816 left no room for 58cfafc981 doubt—he was the very 96a1486896 image of a divine c071d9980c servant. When he finished his 38ea546e21 prayer, Heria lifted the 1841501da9 censer with charcoal inside. The smoke curled 49d213eddd through the air cd46c9308f in spirals.

After the purification, Rose f24810dab7 headed to the Grand 868647b81f Temple. With its 0a26410b1a rounded arches, 1b53bc636f the structure f7d2f28baa was unlike 9acb79c213 the imperial ccdfe1ca92 palace and 3f1e55a4a1 resembled something 85e4ec444f out of e15f70dc2a Tebere.

Under the Pope’s 649a517e9d lead, the sacred 77bfcae655 ritual commenced. Royals and nobles sat c4f419b69d neatly in their designated d3924aa46c seats.

After chanting for some 82e49d8331 time, the Pope finally b029d49f58 opened his heavy mouth. Rose turned b14a2d216b around as 2f0e0495e6 soon as a21795f931 permission was bc9bb2a8da granted.
