Chapter 398 - Release Fleur (1/2)
Dmitri and Adrianna headed to the Royal Palace in their carriage. As usual the army of wizards and witches surrounded them from all sides. While looking outside the window, Adrianna noticed Fleur who was flying right beside the carriage and her mind wandered to reliving her of her duties. She had to talk to Isidorus about. The topic had been delayed so much that she no longer wanted to delay it so she asked the wizard driving the carriage to go to Isidorus' Palace.
Dmitri smiled at her. ”This was long due. Liam is not able to concentrate on his work and the two have been fighting a lot lately. In fact, I heard that she had come here to the Wizard Kingdom and staying away from him from past one week. Liam keeps accusing her of not finding time for him.”
Adrianna sighed. ”I can understand the agony of these two but the way the events have turned out, it was impossible for me to focus on this issue. Let's see what Isidorus has to say.” She turned around to gaze Fleur whose face was very stiff but her mind was in turmoil, which Adrianna could read very well. Perhaps she was crying inside.
They reached the Palace of Isidorus in ten minutes and found him waiting for them. Even though he was in the event, the moment he sensed that his Queen needed his audience, he came to his palace and stood on the gate to receive them.
”What is it my Queen?” he asked as the royal couple walked through the wide pathway in between the gardens that led to the main entrance.
Adrianna stepped inside followed by Dmitri and Isidorus. She noticed that the hall that was bustling with festivity a night before was now quiet with very furniture back in its place. She walked towards a plush sofa and sat down. Dmitri made himself home as he picked up an apple from the center table and took a bite after giving a wink to the old man whom he loved to tease.
”I wanted to talk about Fleur,” said Adrianna without wasting time.
”What about her? Has she given you any trouble?” asked a wary Isidorus.
Dmitri raised an eyebrow and shook his head at the man who only had suspicions in his mind. ”Broaden your horizon, old man,” he said and munched on his apple.
Isidorus slanted his eyebrows in anger as he looked at Dmitri. This man was always taunting him. Only he knew how he tolerated Dmitri.
”No, Isidorus, she hasn't given me any trouble but I want you to release her from serving me as my head of personal security,” said Adrianna looking straight in his eyes.
”That is not an option my Queen. She has been branded. She was born to be your guard.”
”How can she be my guard if she has been marked by Liam?” revealed Adrianna.
Isidorus eyes became wide. ”She has been marked! How dare she allows that? She has breached the very being of her existence. This calls for an immediate execution.”
”No!” shouted Adrianna in a voice that made him jump in his seat. ”You will not execute Fleur only because she was marked by Liam.”
