I enter the temple center still holding the crown prince's arm. I look at the tray the high priest is holding. A golden cup, with water, and a small knife. I hear peop;e talking about me, "There's no way that girl is actually the Holy Quitom, it's not uncommon to have black hair." "What about her eyes?" "She probably has a rich Rode family that paid for a magician." "Wait she isn't even a Sequil?" "Ha! This will be embarrassing." I clutch onto his hand tighter, everything they are saying is true, it shouldn't hurt as much as it does. We reach The high priest and he tells me to extend my arm. I do as so and he rolls up my sleeve. He takes the golden knife and raises it to my arm. He cuts. I bite my tongue. All this? Im innocent why be forced to subdue such torture. Blood trickles into the golden cup the High Priest attendant is holding. I look down into the cup. The color doesn't change. I sigh in relief. "I told you, I'm not the-" "WE HAVE FOUND HER THE SEED OF GOD! OUR SAVIOR, THE HOLY QUITOM HAS BEEN FOUND!" Everyone around cheers, i'm confused, i look down again at the cup which is now a sparkling golden mixture. I don't understand. No this is not the life i wanted, i wished for, i only wanted peace, why? The Crown Prince smiles at me. "I knew it was you, Lerape." "HO,HO,HO! Our Savior the Daughter of God himself!" The Emperor walks over towards me. "Oh Child what a terrible life you must have had to live, while your true potential was hidden from you. Oh how I'd also like to make you my daughter, unfortunately my son is already engaged and I heard you aren't 18 yet. Is that correct?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "How elegant and respectful. Alright, I have made a decision. EVERYONE LISTEN UP! Lerape, I shall adopt you, and make you 3rd in line to succession of the throne after Princess Leislia."
