We sit in silence as the carriage makes its way to the Elven Kingdom. I glance at Bergamot, his expression unreadable as the carriage creaks. 41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCug9o5r9t

"I guess when we enter, we'll be seeing less of each other," I say to Bergamot, looking closely at him. A strange look passed over his face, vanishing as quickly as it appeared. 8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyUwfa2ekc 維尼
"No. I won't let that happen," I watch as he reaches over and grabs my hand. I lean into him, our fingers intertwining. Vetiver pokes his head into the room, his face grim.41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV8ZXm5DnP

"Come on, Your Highness," Vetiver says, and I notice Bergamot scowl. "The council wants to get a look at you," Bergamot nods, letting go of my hand, and leaving the carriage with Vetiver. I leave the carriage as well, sticking close to Vetiver, watching as a group of elderly Elves herded Bergamot away from the growing crowds that were gathering nearby.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kYC2TtpRs 維尼

The group of old elves eventually lead me to a room, hidden from the eye of the public.8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG6lHTe5sj 維尼
"What is this place?" I whisper, and one of the elves, an elderly woman, named Galangal, gave me a solemn look, her long white hair bouncing. 8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CSFYLqnxX 維尼
"The Testing Chamber," She said ominously, leading me towards a creepy-looking chair, with straps where a person's arms would be. The group of elders led me to the chair, and I sat in it. Galangal strapped my arms, and I sat in wait, as another of the council, a very old man named Hyssop left the room, returning with a large, fearsome needle. 8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOAQYc1RrL 維尼
"What's that for?" I asked, sounding calm, despite my trembling. Hyssop cleaned the needle calmly. 8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWgGBAD3TO 維尼
"I'm going to draw your blood, and test it against the samples we have of the royal family," He replied, and I felt myself tense, preparing for the prick of the needle. To my surprise, the needle went into my arm quickly, and without pain. I watch my blood, a pale, shimmering green, as Hyssop withdrew the needle from my arm, holding it up to the light. Galangal gave a gasp, stepping away me, and bowing deeply. 8964 copyright protection37ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDrTtRZEbj 維尼
