Winona's POV
"Are you ready, ladies?" The King's right hand shouted.
"Yes! We are ready!" We all shouted at the same time.
"Good to know, now I ask you to find a partner. Since you are composed of twenty candidates, you will be grouped into ten and two-person per group since we will be calling this a buddy system. You need to be with your buddy the entire ride in going to the Orio forest. It would be better to get a partner with a strong one who knows the moment we arrived at the forest the king has some surprise for us, so I am asking everyone to be ready at all times and show the king what you got." Dru declared.
"Can we be partners, Ana?" Princess Aliyah asked me right away, and I smiled at her.
