Day of the council's tier-one exam finally arrived. Evelyn rushed towards her carriage as she didn't want to get late for the examination. Her father was out of town and Earl accompanied him. Uncle Admiral, being head councilmember, couldn't accompany her either.
She went all alone like any other candidate. It was wrong that she wasn't anxious but she tried not to be, remembering her father's words. She reached outside the council office and informed the coachman that she will return after three to four hours.
She looked ahead of her to see an enormous, dark brown brick building. Looking at the building she assumed it to be three storeys. But she had heard from her uncle how the council building had underground basements with many floors.
She sighed deeply, trying to calm her anxious self and walked into the building. As she entered she realized that there weren't many female candidates for the exams. Instead, she found many eyes staring at her curiously.
