CHAPTER 48

  "Yes, your Highness." We all answered her and she nodded before she and all the other judges except King Vlad start walking towards the main palace.

  The other candidates start walking away too while Leanna hugged me, "Oh no! We're going to be separated so soon. I'll miss you!"

  "I'll miss you too, Leanna." I replied to her as I hugged her back.

  The clearing of a throat pulled us apart and we turned to see King Vlad.

  "Well done, Jannah. I'm impressed with how you handled that guard." He complimented with a smile touching his lips.

  "Thanks, Vlad." I replied as I smiled back.

  "We should start training now like we arranged yesterday." He stated as his gaze traveled to Leanna before moving back to me.

  "Oh, yeah, I'm going to go. I will see you later before I leave. Good luck with your training, Jannah." Leanna said with a small nervous smile.

  I smiled at her as I nodded, "Good luck to you too."
