Chloe opened the window, and the morning sunlight mixed with the fresh air from the distant woods rushed in. The sunlight fell on Lily's face, and she quickly took control of their left hand and closed half of the window, letting out a somewhat annoyed hum. Grace, on the other hand, still hadn't woken up. She seemed to be mumbling in her sleep, half between dreams and wakefulness.
Chloe felt her sister trying to move their legs and leave the window. It was probably Lily, but now Lily had already closed her eyes again.
Outside the window, a two-headed woman who appeared to be of some age was carrying breakfast towards the dining room. The head on the left had ear-length short hair and a slightly youthful face with no expression. She glanced at Chloe, even showing a hint of disgust. The head on the right had shoulder-length curly hair and a more mature demeanor. She warmly greeted Chloe.
"Good morning, Chloe... Your... Highness..."
"They haven't performed the ceremony yet, so there's no need for your flattery..." The head on the left interrupted with an impatient tone. They paused briefly, less noticeably, and continued walking towards the dining room. The head on the right could only give Chloe a helpless smile.
In fact, this time in the morning was one of the rare moments when Chloe could control her body alone, thanks to her two sleepy sisters.
Chloe washed her face with the clear and sweet mountain spring water that had been specially treated. She gulped down a mouthful of the spring water, feeling it flow through her esophagus and into the shared stomach of the three sisters. Grace and Lily finally woke up.
The girls by the water basin once again felt that two hands were not enough. After a flurry of activity, they arrived at the dining room.
Today was the three sisters' coming-of-age ceremony and their inheritance ritual. They were to inherit the position of the Holy Maiden of the Divine Mountain and also inherit the powers of the previous generations of Holy Maidens. However, as the first and only Holy Maiden with three heads, the entire ceremony became particularly different.
According to tradition, they would inherit three different powers, but no one knew if the three powers would conflict within their singular body.
Moreover, the dual-headed servant who had just appeared brought some bad news. The two additional Holy Maiden crowns that were urgently being made encountered a problem, and one of them did not receive the approval of the Mountain God's Temple.
Three heads, two Holy Maiden crowns, and the ceremony was about to begin. The maids preparing the dresses for the sisters were in a panic.
Chloe furrowed her brow slightly, Lily stared at the table with a heavy heart, seemingly lost in her thoughts, and Grace took control of the entire body, hurriedly stuffed the last piece of rice cake into her mouth, seemingly completely unaware of the tense atmosphere around them.
