After weeks of selection, I can finally write the final reports about the shortlisted names.
As promised, Caroline Grahm is among them. As well as Eliza from Myrya and a few others.
It's a balanced list, with half of the ladies from this very court. I've already warned his majesty that it would be better to pick a foreigner, but he'll make the final choice.
All the chance encounters I organised made his majesty send me a letter where he asked me to stop. He promised to look for the lady on his own, with his pace and in his free time.
Piqued his attention, I didn't need to work anymore. My informers didn't hide any detail, and I guess that his majesty was charmed by Eliza's cold behaviour.
She didn't want to be involved in all of this, and her fear was that the other ladies would be mean if they heard of the imperial interest.
Especially Georgia. Oh, that girl is difficult to deal with, even for me.
