[Vol. 4] Chapter 90

'The trial is just an excuse to make the royals think this holy ground decides if the bride is worthy or not. There is just a simple coin with our crest and the priests puts it somewhere around the statue. The ones who they think is perfect they place the coin for them and there will be no traps but if they don't like you or your status, they will simply set traps everywhere and they don't even place the coin there.' that was what Arashi told me.

He also added, 'The reason is, they had power over the throne previously. They could decide on the monarchy and soon they started to get greedy over that but as my grandfather's father took away those powers now they have become only the simple priests who worshipped the goddess. But the trial is the only act that hadn't been abolished and it is time, we should disclose their dirty act before everyone.'

Apparently, he scolded me because I was a fool to believe it was a holy ground and it was easier to get approved.
