Upon hearing Briceus attack her with that question of his, Lizzie spared a brief moment of her time to ponder on what he had just asked.
At about now, she was trying to search out her original intention for choosing to attend said event but she was failing to arrive at a plausible reason for doing so.
'Can I really not think up my reason for going along with Giselle to the hall of Termarth? Of course, it cannot be because every maiden was requested to attend.
'We were not exactly forced into going. Could it be because I wanted to explore what the process was all about? But how foolish of me if that were to be the case because what if I was selected on that day?'
Elizabeth pondered still as she continued to beat herself up to arrive at an answer which would counter Briceus' assumption that she had attended said event for the same reason as every other maiden… which was to catch the eye of the new King who happened to be Briceus in this case.
