Paten of Wishes

The Paten of Wishes is was one of the Divine items being stored in the Temple of Vigilance, that could only be handled by the Pope. It got its name based on a legend that claimed should someone make a wish with their blood using the paten, the Almighty God would grant them that wish.

Although they say that the Paten of Wishes was 'stolen,' it was in reality fine. It was the Holy Water that was supposed to be inside the paten that had gone missing, having disappeared without leaving a single drop.

According to the legends, the Holy Water was not something people had put in there; it was something from the Almighty God that had been in the paten from the beginning—this meant that the paten and Holy Water had been one entity for a very long time. The exhaustion of the Holy Water was pretty much the destruction of the paten.

The last record of a person touching the Holy Water happened 600 years ago, when a noble tried drinking the Holy Water in hopes of getting the powers of the Pope, but ended up having his whole body burnt down.

Jesse Venetiaan was initially suspected of touching the paten when he stopped at the temple on his way to the Empire, though it was unlikely and almost impossible based on the amount of time he spent there, and nothing was found in the his belongings during inspections. The soldiers in the area reported that the prince’s group was the only one to pass through the Empire’s thoroughly guarded inspection site that day. Prince Jesse had no reason to commit such a crime, and even if the Divine item never showed up, he'd be free of ambiguous suspicions in the future.
