Xavia's Identity

"Who are you?" Ask Caelan to Xavia

Xavia's body froze when she heard that question. She didn't know if she should tell the truth or not.

Meanwhile, Caelan and his wife Varin began to suspect that their child was in front of them because as far as they knew Xavia couldn't shoot and ride, but now she agreed to Zeden's request. He was sure it wasn't his daughter.

"My name is Calista Nirvana Rezky." Calista finally decided to be honest

Hearing that, Caelan and Varin were surprised, because the child in front of her was not her.

"So… so our son died from being killed?" Ask Varin, who is now sitting limp.

Calista approached the woman and hugged her tightly. "You can think of me as your daughter, Xavia Resha Antania." Say Calista

"Where did you come from and how did you get into this country?" Ask Caelan again.

Calista began to explain the details of what happened and they nodded in understanding.

"When are you going back to where you came from?" Ask Varin.

"I don't know." Reply Calista

Caelan smiled, "As long as you are here, we will take care of and protect you like our daughter, Xavia Resha Antania, and you can use her name." Say Caelan.

"Thank you. But may I ask you something?" Ask Calista.

"What's that?" Asked Varin softly while stroking Calista's mane.

She was very happy to meet people who resembled her daughter.

"Why do you have to shoot 100 arrows at the beginning of the ritual and at the last ritual you have to ride a horse and shoot the part of the tree that gives off a blue light?" Ask Calista curious.

"Shooting 100 arrows into the sky is a sign that we invite the Gods and Goddess to come to the worship event so that they know that we are performing a worship ritual for them. After that, at the end of the ritual, one of those present must return them, namely through a tree that emits a blue light when descending from the right side and when ascending from the left side. If two lights are the same, choose a tree that has no arrows or no arrows at all and if you shoot trees with red light, it means you are sending them back to hell. Those Gods and goddesses should be where they belong, not in hell," Caelan explained.

"I see. I just knew that." Callista said.

"But why do you have to do ritual worship ah… I mean, what is the meaning of that worship?" Ask Calista again

Varin smiled, "The worship is a form of our gratitude to the Gods and Goddess for giving the Blue Crystal which has become the spearhead of the survival of this country and has also created this beautiful country"

Calista just nodded in understanding, but one thing she didn't understand. Why is the person named Zeden not liking Xavia?

"Oh yeah, why does the person named Zeden seem to dislike Xavia?" the question

"That's because Xavia is the person who was directly chosen by the king to be his son's companion. Zeden hates Prince Quintis. He is jealous of all the advantages that Prince Quintis has and he wants to have Blue Crystal to destroy this country. He thought that if he succeeded in destroying our daughter Xavia, then he also succeeded in destroying Prince Quintis." Obviously Caelan.

"That's how it looks." Say Calista slowly.

"You'd better get some sleep. It is late." Varin said.

"Okay, Mom." Said Calista or now called Xavia

*****

This afternoon, Xavia visited the Palace to meet the concubine Lyonna. She wants to learn to sew again before tomorrow's match against the prime minister's son for the crown princess position.

"You're pretty good at it."

"Do you think so?"

"Of course. I'm sure you can definitely become the crown princess."

"I didn't really want that position. I just don't want my family to be killed."

One of the maids from the concubine, Lyonna came over.

"Sorry to interrupt, but the crown prince is outside."

"Okay. I will meet him. Thank you, maid Jinny."

Concubines Lyonna and Xavia immediately went out to meet prince Quintis.

"Greetings, Mother concubine."

Prince Quintis bowed respectfully

"Greetings, my son. What did you see me for?"

"I just wanted to talk to Xavia. Has it completed the training?"

"Yes. The training is over. We just chatted for a while."

"Then may I take him with me?"

"Of course."

Now Xavia was in the west pavilion.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Who are you? I know you're not Xavia."

"What do you mean?"

"I know you are not Xavia. So tell me, who are you?"

"I don't understand what you're saying. I go first."

"Xavia can't do archery and horse riding. But during the show, you can do it. So I can confirm that you are not Xavia."

Xavia, who was about to leave, stopped when she heard Prince Quintis' words. She remembered what her mother had told him this morning to never reveal his true identity to anyone because it could be dangerous for her.

"You can't conclude like that. I trained for years with Aleister's teacher so that I could do archery and horse riding. But when I was able to do it, you accused me of being someone else."

"I'm not accusing you. It's just, I'm surprised you were able to do both things last night."

"I don't think that's surprising. Isn't every human always growing? So am I. At first, I couldn't do anything, but after practicing hard I finally managed to do it. Just like my sewing practice with Lyonna's mother. The who couldn't do it at first became able after practicing continuously."

Prince Quintis was silent. He confirmed what Xavia said. Xavia's practice for several days paid off. He was finally able to sew with the help of concubine Lyonna.

"Sorry to interrupt, but it's time Miss to go home." Vamery comes to prince Quintis and Xavia

"Okay. Let's go home, Vamery." Xavia pulled Vamery quickly.

When he arrived at her room, Xavia immediately lay down on her bed accompanied by Vamery, who was sitting on the sofa in her room.

"You almost got caught, miss."

"Right. Luckily, I'm pretty good at making excuses."

"Hopefully Prince Quintis will no longer suspect you."

"Yeah, I hope so."

Vamery stood up from her seat. "Now it's time for Miss to rest. Tomorrow Miss has to wake up early to compete against Princess Mystica."

Xavia, who was lying down, sat down. She lowered her head.

"Are you sure I can do it?"

"Of course. Miss has worked hard to do so. So I'm sure you can do it."

Xavia didn't say anything. Hopefully, what Vamery said was true, because she still had doubts.
