In contrast to Kladus' expectation, Minister Marwin from Raiff stayed there, saying, "As a chief guest, it's only right for me to see the competition until the end." King Kladus had no other way than to accept him with a smile.
It was the first competition on the second day, and planning was the theme. The topic was to decorate the princess's room. Each slave was given assistants to help them move things and do the actual labor. The candidates were only expected to boss around, planning the interior.
Each candidate started early at dawn, with only 6 hours to complete the room for the princess. Every candidate was doing fantastic jobs drawing and explaining their ideas to their allotted servants while Bowen sat like a statue, staring at the door. It had been 30 minutes since the competition, and no servants came to help him out. He was all alone in the empty room set as an avenue for him.
