Chapter 143 - The Council Meeting (1/2)
Isidorus looked away from them. He rested his head on knee and caught his chin with his hand as he looked outside to the gardens. He knew that he would have to endure Dmitri in the future. After a short pause of awkwardness, he once again spoke. ”Adrianna, we have to meet the ministers of the wizard kingdom. They are all eager to meet you. Once they have all met you and have spoken to you, we can proceed with the coronation.”
Adrianna was fl.u.s.tered. She became nervous. She felt so puny in front of all the events that were taking place in front of her. Seeing her nervousness, Isidorus asked her, ”What do know about spells?”
She shook her head, ”Nothing…”
”You don't know a single spell?” he asked bemused.
”No…”
”Then how do you do magic?”
”I just think of something, point my finger towards whatever or whoever I want it cast on, and the magic happens…”
”Don't you know the names of any spells?”
”No…”
All his life, Isidorus had never come across a person who could perform magic by just thinking about it. All the wizards and witches had to speak the spell name and use their wands to create magic. They had to undergo a lot of training at the wizard academy to refine their skills. However, this girl was playing by different rules altogether. He looked at her with interest.
”Hmm…” he wondered how she could have sustained herself against a military general for so long. Indeed, she was so powerful that even she didn't know of her true abilities. ”How did you defeat Cy?” he probed.
”I had called for help from the wilderness. I can speak with animals…”
Isidorus was so shocked his mouth fell open. This was something really unique. ”Who else knows about this strength of yours?” he asked. He shuddered when he realized that if this girl wanted to go astray, she could easily destroy the world.
”Only Dmitri, Ed and Howard…”
Isidorus shook his head. ”Do not mention this to anyone else…”
He looked at the fire he was dealing with - fire that didn't even know that it could burn the world. ”Well, the ministers are waiting for us. If you have had your meal, can we go to meet them?”
”Of course,” she replied as she stood up. Dmitri also stood up and followed them outside. Isidorus turned around to look at him and very sternly said, ”You cannot join the meeting of the ministers of the wizard kingdom. I am sorry, but since you are the king of the werewolves, we cannot entertain you in that aspect.”
Dmitri remembered that a treaty had been signed between the wolves and the wizards that neither party would interfere in the other's administrative work. ”Well, you should know that Adrianna is half werewolf,” said Dmitri.
