"You have a fair point, Lord Claspine. Why did she come so far to take the place of her sister when she was sick." Jonathan nodded solemnly. "I heard that it was a competition between lady Elene and lady Soliene to decide who will get the job. Right?"
It was Soliene who nodded and came forward. She glared at Elene and then announced in a haughty voice, "if not for her elder sister, i would have won. I am far better than Lady Elene but I could not win against my lady." she gritted her teeth, "but she cheated to win against me. It was lady Elene who planned it."
Her words brought another uproar in the room. Whispers were turning into loud noises. If that was true then Elene would fail the exams and would not be given a second chance. The degree of academy was a common trait between nobles. They have never heard of a noble who failed. She would talk of the empire.
