Bab 324: Thickening plot

Lillith was in her father's library with Guinevere. For all her life, she had believed that her position as Rowan's future wife could not be usurped by anyone. Now with a heart full of doubt, she began to read up on the history of Eos' champions and the partners that had been chosen for them. "

"Champion Karl, at thirteen years of age, he saved his village from demons. At twenty, he married a silver-eyed priestess of a neighbouring kingdom," Lillith read out to Guinevere. 

"Champion Ash, he rid his kingdom of bandits after starting a crusade against them when he was eighteen. He married a silver-eyed priestess who arrived from another town to enter the choosing ceremony."
