The final trial took place in the throne hall itself.
Queen Selene looked at Arion carefully.
"This trial is simple," she said.
"You must choose."
She raised her hand and two magical visions appeared.
In one vision, Arion ruled Lunaris as a powerful king.
In the other, he lived a simple life on Earth with Aarohi.
"You cannot have both," the queen said.
"Choose your world."
The entire hall waited.
Arion didn't even pause.
"I choose Aarohi."
Gasps echoed across the palace.
But Queen Selene smiled slightly.
