Chapter 201: Knowledge Not Meant for People of Her Standing
Lyria's POV
The Queen continued speaking as though she were discussing the arrangement of a dinner table rather than the structure of another person's existence.
"Since you shall be spending time with individuals above your standing," she said smoothly, "certain limitations will naturally be necessary."
"You will be permitted five minutes with each candidate."
"No more than that," she continued. "And once those five minutes conclude, you shall excuse yourself politely and return directly to your chambers."
She said it pleasantly.
"You are not Jacinta," she added. "And I am quite certain that the majority of the candidates will find themselves far more desirous of spending their time with her than with you. It is, after all, a widely known fact that Jacinta is the Moon of this kingdom."
I nearly asked why an excuse would be necessary then.
