49 Table Manners

Finally, it was time for the first test to begin. All the princesses were ready to take on the challenge. Sierra woke up bright and early to make some final preparations. The first test was on etiquette. 

The night before, all the princesses were gathered and briefed on the schedule for the next day. They would be spending a day out with the Queen and her ladies in waiting. They would all be carefully watched and graded based on their etiquette. 

"Ida, do we have everything ready?" Sierra asked as she tidied up her hair while looking in the mirror. 

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Good, then we're ready to go."

With the final touches done, Sierra exited her room with Ida trailing behind. Their first order of business was to have morning tea with the Queen which was to be held in Merremia Hall. Myra and her maid caught up with them as they made their way over. 

"Your dress today looks stunning, Sierra!" Myra exclaimed with envy.
