"Alright, I presume all have arrived," a councilman said loudly.
"There's one carriage yet to arrive, sir," Ana informed him.
"Yet to arrive? Why is it late in the first place?" He said sternly as if she was blameworthy for the delay and glared at her, making her nervous.
Soon the sound of a carriage distracted the councilman. Evelyn hopped out and noticed the annoyed face of a man, in confusion. She glanced around wondering whom he was furious at.
The second task was held in the forest. There were four more councilmen present and one of them being the man whom she had seen in the forest the other day, investigating the body. She wondered if they were here to check the safety of candidates during the task.
"Line up quickly, you four slackers," the councilman said in a strict manner, placing his hands on the waist indicating how annoyed he was at them.
