a glance at guien she couldn't help but
wonder if the black wi Clan possessed
some secret to Eternal youth guien
released gintink hand and respectfully
gestured towards the elevated figure
please forgive me holy Maiden my
daughter has only just turned 18 this
year to me she is still a child the
implication being that a child deserves
to be cherished point 18 at such a
tender age her prowess is remarkable no
wonder Steward by remark that she was
worthy of being considered a candidate
for the holy Maiden The Holy maiden's
voice steeped in gravitas paused
momentarily but she cautioned that
excessive confidence and ignorance of
the rules could lead to trouble janon
understood that the holy Maiden was
alluding to her inappropriate wearing of
the white Veil hearing this guien could
only offer a rice smile what you may not
know holy Maiden is that this Veil is
relic of my late wife his wife luu had
indeed been required to wear a white
Veil upon being selected as a candidate
for the holy Maiden oh the holy maiden's
tone ascended do so it is Lu U's Veil
The trailing note seemed to indicate a
reminiscence that year when I was unwell
I initiated an early selection of the
candidates for the holy Maiden I had met
that child luu and found her to be
gentle and graceful I never expected her
daughter to have grown so much truly
time is Relentless the holy Maiden
reflected on the past her emotions
evidently stirred even guien began to
feel a haze of nostalgia as memories
washed over him Point 18 years ago the
holy Maiden sensing her imminent demise
due to illness had conferred with the
then patriarch and the elders deciding
to expedite the selection of the Holy
Maiden to ensure the continuity of their
lineage although luou was on the cusp of
giving birth and had recently United
with guien she was perfectly positioned
at 25 years old the prime age for
selection despite her condition her
exceptional Talent propelled her to
secure the position of candidate for
Holy Maiden standing out among five
contenders just as the final selection
was anticipated luou ventured out of the
black which clan during her confinement
when guien found her she lay lifeless
yet Serene a smile gracing her lips no
one knew how Lu you had met her end nor
why her body appeared as though she were
in a peaceful Slumber further more no
one understood why she had left the clan
grounds during her confinement only to
pass away in a meadow both guin's family
and the luo clan searched extensively
but Unearthed no clues or anomalies
ultimately resigning themselves to their
sorrow the holy Maiden with a heavy
heart selected another candidate to
accompany her preparing for the
auspicious day of succession however on
the day of the grand ceremony her
guardian Knight returned Gravely injured
bearing a sacred herb before he could
utter a word he succumbed to his wounds
subsequently the frail silver-haired
holy Maiden leaning on her cane
descended from the Divine platform tears
in her eyes as she consumed the sacred
herb a miracle unfolded and the Aged
holy Maiden visibly regained her
Vitality thus the holy Maiden was healed
and the candidates for Holy Maiden were
no longer needed each returning to their
respective paths it was only until this
year as her term approached its end that
new candidates were were to be selected
indeed it has been 18 years giuen sighed
deeply the memory of his wife causing
him immense heartache GI tontion had
only gleaned fragments of significant
events from her notes piecing together
the reactions of the two she understood
their sentiments yet she feigned
ignorance petulant declaring holy Maiden
it is merely that I missed my mother
dearly which is why I wish to wear the
veil she left behind every day tontion
you must not speak so casually to the
holy Maiden guien admonished sternly
