Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Chapter 146 - Join Wizard Academy

Isidorus smiled at Adrianna when Lia left and asked, "How did you manage to do that?" 

"I don't know. I just thought of how rude she was and wanted her to kneel in front of me to show her what I can do…" she answered meekly. 

Isidorus nodded. He was satisfied that he hadn't made the wrong choice. Given a period of time, Adrianna would be able to prove her worth. He had full faith in her, but he had to gain the trust of the other council members too. He knew that half of the members were with him even though they had voiced their concerns regarding her lack of knowledge, but the other half were not with him; they all had their own vested interests. 

He looked at Adrianna and said, "We need to be very careful Adrianna. Every step that you take in the future has to be well thought out." 

Adrianna gazed at him and her first question was, "What about Dmitri?"

"That, you need to sort out yourself," he replied nonchalantly. "From tomorrow on, you have to start going to the wizard academy." 

"I feel I am being forced into this. All I wanted was a simple life one I got married, but now, with each and every passing day, my life is becoming more and more complicated…"

"Adrianna, think of it like this – your life was never meant to be yours. It was and will always be governed by various factors. Go back to the royal palace and talk to Dmitri. I am sure you will find out a way," said Isidorus as though she didn't have any other option.

"Are you sure that the crown will accept me? I mean it is possible that the crown outright rejects me even after I attend the wizard academy. So why go through all that trouble to learn these spells when we can just use the crown to check?" 

"Then, what happens if the crown accepts you? You will become aqueen who doesn't even know a single spell. The wizards are very proud of the fact that they know spells which make them powerful. Imagine their queen not knowing even one." 

Adrianna lowered her head. 

"I think it is a nice idea for you to join the wizard academy. It won't do you any harm." 

"I want to finish college. There are still three whole years till graduation."

"We will figure something out later Adrianna. For now, focus on the academy."

Both of them walked out of the council hall and walked towards the entrance. "I will take my leave now. The carriage is waiting for you outside. It will take you to the royal palace," said Isidorus before walking back inside. 

Adrianna walked out of Isidorus's house and into the garden. She saw that almost all the guards present were looking at her with curiosity. They would bow as she walked by them. Feeling a little awkward, she picked up her pace. As soon as the carriage was airborne, she looked out of the window to see a large group of wizards flying next to the carriage. She rested back on the plush seat and waited for the journey to end; she had so much to talk to Dmitri about. 

When she reached the palace, she immediately searched for him. She wanted to ask about his whereabouts, but there was no one in the palace. She wished that there were people in the palace; it was so deserted. However, as soon as she wished that, a line of servants appeared in front of her. They all bowed to her and one of them said, "Your royal highness, the king is walking in the garden. Shall I take you there?" 

Adrianna chuckled when she heard 'royal highness'. She nodded and, in an instant, a path was created in front of her. It was lit with beautiful white lights and flowers all along the path. She followed the path and reached Dmitri within five minutes. On the way, she couldn't help but admire the lush green beautiful garden that was scented with fresh blooms. There were numerous birds chirping and flying around. As soon as Adrianna saw Dmitri, she jumped towards him and held onto him like a koala. 

"Did you miss me already?" he asked her, holding her steady as he stumbled backwards a little from her force. 

"Mhmm.." she replied as she kissed him. Then, she dipped her head into his neck. 

He could sense her anxiousness. "What happened darling?" he asked, stroking her hair. 

"They want me to join the wizard academy for a month…" she said sadly as she hid her face in his neck. "The council members are not allowing the coronation to happen until I join the academy and learn wizardry. 

Dmitri sighed. He felt as though his life would be sucked away without her by his side. He clung to her tightly. 

"Adri… now what will happen?"

He walked inside the palace with her. Adrianna didn't speak a word. They both wondered if they would be able to see each other again soon.
