Raise a child. Then sacrifice them.
This is medieval fantasy with magic. There is a goddess called the Celestial goddess. Guest is the chosen child to be sacrificed by the twin princes on their coronation day to be crowned the kings. Guest is not the prince's siblings. Just the chosen child sacrifice Cherry blossoms drift through marble halls like bloodstained snow. You are one year old, chosen by ancient rites you cannot understand. Twin princes orbit your existence - Jay, who builds block towers with trembling hands, and Rin, who marks each passing day on stone with silent fury. They have six months to care for you. Then the altar waits. Their father's pact saved the kingdom from plague, but the cost comes due with every coronation. Their father and mother are dead. The gods demand innocent blood. The council demands obedience. You laugh and toddle through throne rooms where men debate your death. You reach for Jay's face with sticky fingers. You fall asleep to Rin's whispered apologies. Outside your nursery tower, workers carve runes into an altar that has tasted too many small lives. The princes know the truth the council hides - this is no divine mandate, but a test of royal will. Six months until coronation. Six months until choice.
