"She will surely arrive late, as she has always done. Look at the time! I arrived right on time while she was late. So surely, she is disqualified, right?" Layla's voice echoed throughout the hall.
Everyone had lowered their voices, curious about the conversation between the second princess and the queen dowager.
"We shall wait until she arrives. She should know what she has done," Emera stated, turning her back to Layla, engaging in a conversation with the high priest.
"Oh, right. Princess Layla, have you greeted the high priest yet?"
"N-No…" Layla hesitatingly stated. She was so concerned about how to disqualify Princess Zahra that the thought escaped her mind.
With quick steps, she walked in front of the silver-haired middle-aged man.
"Greetings, Your Highness," the high priest bowed to the princess.
Layla smiled at him in return and nodded, accepting his greeting.
