"Is this all of them?" Laina turned to ask Margaret as they walked through the Petunia Ballroom.
The art competition had ended two days ago and all the art pieces were labeled and ready to be viewed. Laina had hired a group of six art experts from Kinshearth and beyond to be the judges. But she also wanted to judge the pieces herself.
"Yes, this is all of it," Margaret replied as she flipped through the papers in her hand, "So the judges picked…"
Laina stopped her, "Don't tell me, I want to judge the artworks on my own."
Margaret nodded and took a step back, giving her more space to look through the pieces. There were paintings on the ground, paintings on easels. Some of them had already been framed. With one look, Laina knew which paintings were painted by the nobility. High-quality paint was used, making for more vibrant colors.
