Isabella pov
I looked at the beautiful girls all around, the duchess of Arcadia came with marchioness Adella and the mistress of the academy to conduct the exam. I was completely prepared. I have already learnt the details of every staff member working here.
A smile bloomed on my lips when they smiled looking at me. They knew me. I have been playing the violin for a long time now. And I was proud that most of the noble ladies loved my music.
But I could see that other ladies didn't like it much. But before anyone could comment on it. The exam papers were distributed. It was a written exam asking about the basic table etiquettes, manners to greet the nobles and peerage. And some other knowledge about painting, art, music, singing and dancing.
