Chapter 387 - Is My Baby Okay? (1/2)

He had made a perfect plan for getting the throne. First he had thought that he could entice Adrianna with his gorgeous looks. Looks that had stopped everyone in their tracks. He was used to those people who would look at him and their expressions would change and a weak smile would appear. All the young witches had blushed when they looked at him and were dying to be his girlfriends or wives. He had hidden his looks long back only to stay away from so many gazes and everyday passes. So many opportunities came his way, but he found none to be worthy of him.

It was Adrianna whom he knew at first glance that she was the one. He was happy to have her as his student and had revealed his looks to the outer world only to attract her and show her how much he was wanted and followed by other women. Ziu didn't know that Adrianna was a one-man-woman who prized her genuineness and intelligence over any looks. It was a different thing that her husband was one of the most dashing and handsome werewolves.

He thought that Adrianna would come to him and had tried his best to do that by asking the ministry to stay as her teacher to teach all the spells. He was a brilliant wizard and he knew that Adrianna would be a natural in wizardry, but he didn't know that she would exceed him or for that matter exceed any wizard ever born. She was a powerful one and that added to her charm. He thought that she would be second to him if at all.

The moment he came to know about her untapped potential, he knew that she was his ladder to the throne. After all with such brilliant mind and looks, how could he be just a headmaster at school? He should be the King of the Wizard Kingdom!

All his plans failed. Nothing worked – his charm, his deceit, Vikra and even the neotides. He was managing Vikra from inside the Wizard Kingdom. He would keep giving him information and direct him on what to do but Vikra failed too many times.

Ziu poured another glass of whiskey and staggered to move around the room a bit until he found his bed and sat down on it. He gulped the whiskey, threw the glass on the carpet and then fell on the bed backwards. He brought his hands over his eyes. He had two options now – one was to concede to Adrianna as his Queen, second was to rebel against her. He could never concede to stay beneath her. He was the real ruler!

He had hinted Isidorus long back but Isidorus either chose to ignore his hint or didn't pay heed to what he meant. His only option was to fan Vikra's ambitions but that fool got himself killed by Adrianna. He knew that Adrianna was extremely powerful. Thinking about all the possibilities that were left for him to tap, he came to one conclusion – for now he had to lie low. He had to wait and watch how things went by.

The citizens had decorated the entire Wizard Kingdom. They were in a gala mood and wanted to celebrate the epic victory. The celebrations were going to last for a week with the Queen inaugurating the events on the morning of the next day.

Dmitri and Adrianna went inside the palace and after a while they slept off. Peace was restored in her Kingdom. There was no apparent threat and she felt very happy and content. It was like a fairy tale for her. She reflected on the past when she was still in the college and how Dmitri pursued her. It was her grandfather who always believed in her powers and made her feel special. Now she understood the reason why he wanted to hide her powers from the world. She remembered how her family scoffed at her always. While remembering her family, she remembered her sister, Kayla who was still there in the prison.

Her heart felt sad. Dmitri could sense her sadness and said, ”Remember that she had tried to poison us.”

”Hmm…” she replied and curled her arms around the man who loved her the most.
