"She isn't any coward. And, who said she vanished, huh? I met her a few days back and she is in a higher position than any of us. The wealthy, powerful person" Katherine said, gritting her teeth.

"What's happening here? Why are you both fighting like some immature kids??" Prime minister, Sir Francis chided them.

"Manners Ladies. Don't forget where we are" Queen mother Greta scolded them. "What will people think of our Kingdom if they see you like this? Don't dare to embarrass us like this!" she gritted her teeth.

And, it is only when Katherine let Olivia go. She scoffed and walked away from Olivia to where Rebecca is waiting for her.

Meanwhile, Olivia shook her head in disdain. "Some people never change" she muttered under her breath before going back to her own gang.

At the same time, the cultural minister hastily walked into the hall.

"Your highness, Sir Francis, Governess arrived and she is waiting in her office. However, the Governor is still busy and he announced that he would be meeting the ladies in the evening."

"However, the Governess seeks an individual audience with all the ladies immediately" he informed.

Queen mother and Sir Francis nodded their heads. As they are in Academy right now, the Governess and Governor holds the power here.

Everyone must follow their orders no matter who they are. Same goes to the King's, Queen's, Prince's and all others from Royal families.

"Prince Edward and all the eight ladies have to go right now. Rest of you can stay

here" Queen mother Greta said.

"Your rooms will be allotted by evening and it might take some time. So, please feel free to use the guest rooms down the corridor." Prime minister Sir Francis said to others.

Everyone nodded their heads.

The eight ladies and Louis followed cultural minister Sir Martin to outside while others continued their work. Few of them remained in the hall of fame as they looked around. Meanwhile others went to guest rooms to take some rest.

…

Charlotte and Hailey stayed behind as they walked around the hall, looking at different medals and trophies.

"Such a mind-blowing fight it was! And, it felt so satisfying to watch. For the first time I saw that inferiority feeling in Olivia's eyes. And, this is also the very first time I saw Katherine losing her cool self. She seems very protective of her friend!" Hailey exclaimed in a hushed voice.

"Yeah. Even I was shocked, Hailey. Katherine never gets into a fight. Especially not verbally. She always stays calm and play her games by staying in shadow's"

"And, to be frank, I never thought that Katherine is a friend of infamous Beatrice. No wonder Katherine never revealed her Academy's name." Charlotte chuckled.

"So, Katherine is Athena!" she sighed to herself.

After a few seconds, she spoke again.

"Ahh… now I understand where Katherine learned to play with others minds. It's because she learned from the best!!" Charlotte exclaimed.

"Was Beatrice like that? I heard from brother Calvin that Katherine is a silent killer. She always stays calm but no one knows what will be going in her mind" Hailey said.

If not for Olivia's dirty scheme's and her grandfather's power, Katherine would have won in the previous bride selection event.

"Yes, Beatrice was like that! She was known for her cunning, reckless and very, very stubborn character. She was quite a genius and at the same time she never feared anyone."

"She was actually pretty scary that most of the students from Royal and Noble families used to fear her" Charlotte told Hailey who was curious looking at her.

"Uhmm...so, this Beatrice is bad?" Hailey asked.

"No. Of course no." Charlotte chuckled.

"Those were the days when the academy had started recruiting the foreign students and commoners. So, a few Royal's and noble's used to try to bully them. And, Beatrice was someone who stood up against those bullies. She used to have many followers and friends back then" Charlotte said.

"And, there is a secret I have to tell you, Hailey" she whispered.

"What is it? My lips are sealed, okay? I won't tell anyone" Hailey whispered back.

"The one Louis kissed is none other than Beatrice" Charlotte said, giggling.

"What??" Hailey almost shouted but composed herself.

"Yep..yep. Beatrice was his first crush. Though it wasn't any serious crush, it is the first crush he had after all" Charlotte said, giggling.

"Really?? Wow!! Brina has to know this" Hailey giggled back. Her eyes twinkled.

'Am I the only person who could see the undeniable resemblance between Brina and Beatrice??" she thought.

….

Meanwhile, on the other floor.

Olivia was the first one to be called inside. After ten minutes of her meeting with Governess, she directly went back to the hall from another door.

Soon, others followed her suite.

Princess Penelope, Katherine and everyone was called except Brina.

Brina was the last one and she couldn't help but get nervous by every passing second.

'All the best, baby. Hope you impress the Governess. By the way, she is a very important and powerful person here. So, it would be really helpful if she supports you. Don't stress and don't worry. You are very good at impressing others.

Love you♥️

Your soon to be hubby

XoXo'

This is the message that popped up just before Brina was summoned.

And as soon as she read it, all her worries, nervousness vanished in thin air.

With a pleasant smile adorning her lips, she took the deep breaths before walking inside a huge, classical office.

…..

A woman in her early fifties is sitting on the desk chair across the door. She is wearing a suit and had her specs on. Despite her age, she looked energetic and beautiful.

However, she eluded a stern and powerful aura.

"Lady Brina'' she greeted Brina as soon as she noticed Brina at the door, waiting for her permission to enter.

"You may come in," she said, before going back to looking at the document on her desk.

Brina walked to the chair across the Governess and sat down. Her fingers fidgeting with each other under the table.

"A commoner who managed to stay in the top two. Impressive" the Governess said in an affirmative tone as she looked into the document.

"And, an employee in S & S corporations. Good!" she said after a few seconds, her eyes still lingering on the document which is actually Brina's introductory document.

"Parents? What do they do?" The Governess asked, all of a sudden.

"They are dead. They were just common people" Brina replied.

"Hmm. I see" the Governess replied, as she lifted her head and looked at Brina.

"Siblings?" she asked.

"Dead" Brina replied.

"So, what's your reason to come here? A favor to a friend? Or, were you craving for a large family?" She asked.

"None of these. I came here for a reason." Brina answered.

"Really, Sabrina??" the Governess chuckled.

"An employee? In your own company?" she laughed.
