Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Chapter 143 - The Council Meeting

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 flustered. 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. 

"Yes, but she is half witch too," replied Isidorus as he snapped his fingers in the air. Suddenly, a golden carriage appeared with blue parrots on the reins. 

Isidorus motioned for her to get in. She looked at Dmitri who smiled at her and nodded to reassure her. He held her hands in his and said, "I am sure you will do great Adri. Be confident." 

She and Isidorus got in the carriage. As soon the carriage started flying in the air, a battery of wizards and witches appeared from thin air and started flying next to it. They reached their destination within ten minutes. Adrianna noticed that it was another palatial building, but also that it was not nearly as grand as the one where she was living in. The guards opened the door. "Welcome to my humble abode," Isidorus said. 

Adrianna smiled as she got down from the carriage. The wizards and witches that were flying alongside the carriage disappeared as soon as the carriage entered the grounds of Isidorus's home. 

They walked along the garden path that was right in front of the entrance and then entered the main hall. The heavy wooden doors opened when Isidorus said, "Anoi Porta" whilst waving his wand and they entered. 

Adrianna was wearing blue jeans and a pink shirt when she entered the main hall. She saw a huge table in front of them which seated about twenty wizards and wizards. All of them wore long black robes and appeared very formal. She followed Isidorus to the chair that had been designated for her. 

Isidorus introduced her to all the members of the council one by one. They all looked at her with amusement and interest. She sat on the right side of Isidorus while Isidorus sat on the head chair. 

Isidorus opened his speech. "Members of the council, we have finally found our queen. Let us not wait any further and crown her by sunrise tomorrow." 

There was a silence in the room for a while before a witch spoke. "Isidorus, how much does Adrianna know about magic?" 

"Not much," he answered truthfully.

"Our kids have been studying magic right from a very young age. We heard that she is only nineteen. Do you think she will hold a candle in front of our children who have also just started learning?" 

As soon as she said that, another wizard supported her. "How can we have her as the queen of our world when she can't even perform basic magic?" 

"We heard that she is half werewolf and that her mate has imprinted on her," said another one.

"Yes, that is true," replied Isidorus.

"Then what about the treaty between us and the werewolves clan? We are not supposed to interfere in each other's administrative purposes." 

"She is also a half witch. Don't forget that," replied Isidorus. 

"That doesn't suit the purpose, Isidorus. For someone to be our queen, she needs to be a pure blood and you are presenting us with a half blood," boomed a voice from far corner. 

Isidorus looked at him and scowled. That man was Cy's friend Mihr. Isidorus became angry and roared, "How come I am hearing all these concerns only after we have found Shira's child? Where were all of these concerns before?"
