Guards reached for Mira, but they had seen the scar too, and they hesitated. "If this cloth is wrong," the older guard said slowly, "then someone tampered with it." Word spread fast through the workshop. Mira lifted her chin. "Let the Loom weave again, in front of everyone. Then we'll know the truth."
The court agreed. The Great Loom was brought out and worked its silver in front of everyone, untouched by any scheming hand. The true face appeared, and it was Mira's, scar-free, marked with the Loom's hidden stitch. The forger was exposed and thrown in the cells. Mira was crowned that very day, a seamstress's daughter who proved her own crown was real.
