ROYAL PALACE, GRAND HALL
"I have a final question to ask you."
"Do you think you can do well in the royal household?"
The queen asks the girl in front of her, she's shaking and looks like she was about to cry.
"I'm sorry your Majesty"
The girl runs out of the room into the hall leaving an annoyed Queen. After the Queen had a one-on-one conversation with Adeline and three other girls, the rest weren't up to her expectation.
She's very disappointed as the girls were chosen from the highest-class families that can help Prince Allan in the future.
"Maybe I should have reconsidered all this. I thought putting them together will make them competitive but they're all most all of them are too timid for my liking."
The Queen says to herself before drinking a glass of water out of frustration.
"Send in the next person."
The Queen says gesturing her hands to the head maid. The head maid leaves the room and very soon, another lady enters the room with her.
"Lady Elmira Bates."
