Ugh. I hate BS interview games. To me, it's usually a sign that a company either copy "creative" interview templates from online, or wants to start powerplay mind games early with employees.
I mean, the "correct" answer is to sound like a well-fitting little gear for the big money machine and say textbook answers they want you to say, but...eh. Don't feel too bad if you don't get the job, since it's at best a 50/50 that you dodged a bullet. It's not much for advice as far as getting jobs go, but I wish you the best of luck, wherever your career ends up.
Anyway, this queen...is definitely not an ally. I feel like I need a family tree chart or something soon, because I'm starting to get confused on who is related to who.
Looks like the viscountess's plan was to have her dress get all cut up too. That...would not have ended well for the maid, considering the queen's interest in it.
