Confession of her Identity

The gaze that Rise gave to Alistair was enough for him to jump at the stage and hug her, while crying.

However, he knew that if he did that he would not only risk his life but also her friend's  life too.

"Hey, Rose I am really sorry I am a terrible friend who can't even rescue you." Said Alistair, he clenched his fist and an Intense sob ran down his throat making a low murmur and his body vibrating.

"Miss, do you know the holy lady? " whispered that knight, coming to his side and slowly placing his mouth in Alistair's ear.

Normally Alistair didn't like to get too close to anyone regardless of the gender but it was not his planet and moreover this person just helped him.

"No,actually she looked so beautiful and her dance looked so graceful, so.." said Alistair when he was stopped by the knight who continued, "Well she is not as graceful as our original Holy lady." 

Alistair was surprised till now he thought that Rose was just lucky to get into the group by kidnapping a member just like him.

"What do you mean by that?"said Alistair,his eyes widened and his mouth  opened in hope of getting the answer.

However, he quickly remembered the words of that maid who told him to not be extra curious because he might end up in jail. 

He instantly changed his Expression to that of a more normal one and said,"actually ,I.." he was interrupted again by the knight who put a finger in his lips.

The knight smiled and in a soft voice he continued, "It's okay if you don't know .You don't have to be scared."

Alistair now became more confused by his attitude who was not only 

not suspicious of him but also was too friendly.

"Well ,you see our holy lady couldn't make it for some reason and this girl claimed to be her substitute, and now took her place." Said he,in a rather uncaring way.

Now,it became clear to Alistair and he knew that Rose had read a lot of this mystical traditions so it would not be a

for her to copy and adjust to the role.

However, that was not what Alistair worried, he was more worried about the fact that if by any chance they use any magic or anybody claim to be the substitute of the 'Holy lady.' It would be the end for her.

As it always happens, the more you fear something the more it has the possibility to take place .

When the dance was going on and the music and hymns were being chanted the door was slightly opened and a "knic" sound was heard .

The festival was disrupted and someone hurried over towards the ceremonial platform, from the figure it could be made possible that it was a girl and she looked like one of those dancers.

Whispers started amongst everyone they were confused ,some judged but no definite answer came from them.

The girl ran as fast as she could and suddenly the lights lit, calming back that bright glow.The king and the high priest too looked at the stage to see what disrupted the feast.

"Who are you ?and how dare you disrupt the holy dance ?" Said the high priest almost in a threatening voice. 

"Your majesty and your honour greetings " said she ,kneeling down and tears rolled down her cheeks ,she continued ,"I am the original substitute of the Holy lady and I was late to arrive and I heard that the substitute was already dancing." 

As she said that ,she looked at Rise with hostility in her eyes.Hearing this everyone was just shocked and they started looking at each other. 

"How dare you say that and what proof do you have?" Said The High priest ,he stood up and knocked his magical wand like stick to the floor to create a dense flow of wind with high temperature around the stage and that girl. 

All the girls were scared and kneeled down but Rose didn't bend down; she was standing looking at the eye of His Majesty. 

"Please listen  your honour , I have the handwritten certificate of the Holy lady." Said the girl ,as she stated that her body trembled and her voice shook.

The high priest and all of them listened and they stared at  the direction of Rose in a manner that they wanted explanation.The most surprising fact was that The king was silent and he didn't even speak any word.

"Yo,it's getting interesting here ,the party was worth attending. " He said as he smirked, it was visible from the manner that he smirked and his eyes burned in a flame that he was enjoying the show .

However, Alistair was scared and he was going to step up when someone suddenly grabbed his hand. He was already anxious and now this sudden intrusion made him more irritated. 

He looked at the direction with an annoying look as if he was very much interested to just shake away his hand.

"Hey ,what's the hurry .Wait , and watch" said the knight ,with a smirk.

"I know you helped me but please don't stop me." Said he,as he finally shook his hand away.

"Your Honour, I am chosen by His Majesty to dance." Said Rose, as she spoke a determination was seen in her eyes.

Hearing this , made all of the guests present there just rise up and they all were astounded by this arrogant answer.

"Do you even know what you are saying?" Said the high priest ,he looked at the king who stood still in his seat and was watching the show.

"Your Honour, she is telling the truth. "Said Alistair ,he walked towards the stage  as he said this .

Rose looked at him ,she saw a boy with unwavering braveness trying to protect her ,as much as she wanted him to not step up ,she was also grateful….
