Chapter 115 Intentions

• Like a robot, I go through the rites.
• Now that Selene herself has confirmed my mating with Ralph, consulting the Oracle is unnecessary. The Sages cut my palm and mix my blood with theirs and Ralph's. Then we both drink the mixture as a bond with each other and the Kingdom. At a distance, Alidya and Randall stand and watch with satisfaction. "Rain Weiner, will you take King Ralph as your mate? Do you pledge allegiance to the Kingdom and all he represents?" Elder Nicolas questions me. My throat clenched, I had to force the words out; "I do." Elder Antony of Storm Forest takes my hand and places it in Ralph's.
• "My King, Storm Forest is counting on you to treat Beta daughter and Luna Rain, with respect and prioritize her happiness," he states briefly. Ralph nods to the man. "You can be sure of that, Elder," he replies ambitiously. He then takes me by the hand and leads me to his parents. Randall and Alidya are clearly stricken by the ceremony and lay their hands on us. "As strange as everything went, the result is definitely acceptable. It was well worth the risk," Randall sighs. "Either way, Rain stays with us, she's the perfect Queen. Hopefully we can get her coronation through soon".
