Lady Vera was bitter, previous she had planned to act stupid and make mistakes in other for the king's uncle to reject her but when she found out that lady Magret was the one picking the wife, she did not dare carry out those plans.
She felt that if she made a stupid mistake she will leave a wrong impression on lady Magret, this way her plan to marry the king will become more difficult.
Who knew that her prayers will be answered and she will get disqualified without doing anything wrong but then she lost a big chance to get close to the king.
She was also worried that the lady Magret might have a reason to stand against her marriage to the king. That did not matter anyway. She still wanted to give it a try.
Even if the king did not marry her, becoming his recognized mistress will still be good enough. The only downside of being a mistress to the king is that her son will not be able to fight for the throne but no one will dare look down on her.
