The tension in the air grew worse as the candidates kept glaring at the nobles lurking around the hall. Since their courage came back to them, they stood firm and agreed with what Azalea said. And the nobles glared back at them. But knowing the women's logic was right, they couldn't do anything to harm them. Afterall, the king DID kill two young nobles before when a candidate died in the Forbidden Chamber.
The nobles knew their king too well for them to try and aggravate him. Besides, they were only ordered to come to the Banquet Hall for no reasons at all. Not one detail as to why and what exactly they were supposed to do once they arrive.
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
