Chapter 59: Chapter 59 - Banquet (5)

   Ryan sat back on his chair and his mind could finally relax. Seeing Esme not paying attention to the contest earlier scared him. If she loses the contest then she can't become his queen, but he can only choose her to be his consort. 

    The winner for the painting stage was determined without having a doubt. Esme's painting was the best the kingdom had seen since a long time. Everyone again started respecting Esme. They applauded her confidence. 

Soon, the announcer announced the commencement of the second stage of the second phase of the contest.

  In this stage they will have to make three things out one material they choose. This stage is to teach how well they can utilize their assets and make the most out of a small thing.

 There were just five maidens left in this stage and after this artist stage only two will go to the final stage.
