Once the meeting had been adjourned, Queen Rosalind walked out of the room, followed by Princess Eleanora and Minister Alexander Sterling. While the other ministers flocked to the Queen or to congregate among themselves, Alexander Sterling caught Eleanora's elbow and quickly took her aside.
Eleanora looked at the man in confusion, but he quickly whispered, "Eleanora, I've heard you often go to the Queen's gardens for strolls?"
Eleanora frowned and looked at her uncle uneasily," How did you know that?"
"I have my ways. Eleanora, I want you to go to the garden this evening around 6pm. You will enter the labyrinth and continue to take every left till you reach the centre. Don't tell anyone you are meeting me. Go now. Until then, if anyone asks you about your opinion about ascending to the throne, give them vague answers but remember their faces or names."
