Winona's POV
I want to run to meet Agnes and Cornelio, but I don't like the other participants to make fun of me again. I try to walk with poise and grace, knowing they are giving me a skeptical look. And I tried my best to be not affected by their stares and laughter, I know I made a show during the screening, and some of them hate me already, but I don't want them to ruin my mood. I turned around and looked at the palace tower, and I am so tempted to fly right now and look for my mom, but I know I need to be patient.
I suddenly felt worried when I couldn't find my parents at the palace exit. I walked everywhere and searched the entire place, but I couldn't find them. I used my dragon magic to scan the area, but they are no longer here waiting for me, and before I can walk around again to look for them, one more time, a knight came to me, and he was smiling at me.
"Ana Akardo?" He smiled, and I nodded, and I am apprehensive about why he knew who I am.
