Chapter 389 - Image of the Royal Couple Was at Stake

Niiya was smiling at Adrianna completely ignoring Dmitri. "This is just a token of my solidarity to the Queen of the Wizard Kingdom. There is nothing in this world that you can't have," said Niiya as he stood there.

"But you said that this is for a friendship since college days?" asked Adrianna with a frown.

Niiya started laughing. "Well, this is everything in one!" 

"What?" chided Adrianna. "I need another gift for different expressions." 

Niiya loved it when Adrianna showed her little ownership on him. He chuckled. 

"Adrianna, I will give you as many gifts as you want but you should accept whatever gift a guest has to present. Sometimes I feel you just overstep your boundaries," said Dmitri as he gazed Niiya and stepped closer to Adrianna to hold her hand. Queen, no queen, she was his wife first! 

Niiya's face darkened. Yes he was the guest but did he have to rub it in the face?

Adrianna was feeling embarrassed as though chided by her daddy. She pursed her lips and couldn't say a word. Isidorus came to rescue the situation. "Niiya, it is a pleasure to have you amongst us. Please join us in the celebration."

Niiya bowed courteously and smiled. He was well acquainted with Dmitri's ways when it came to Adrianna. Now he want even interested in his antics. He was only interested in maintaining harmonious relationship with the strongest woman in the world. He did regret the fact that Adrianna could have married him had he not been kidnapped but then fate had to take its way… 

Ziu watched Niiya and Dmitri's interaction. The two of them didn't seem to like each other. Was it because of Adrianna? Time to think of a new strategy. He smirked.

The King and the Queen continued to walk towards the main area of the event. They were guided to sit on the red and golden thrones that were specially made for them.  

As soon as the sat, the ceremony started. The area where all the celebrations took place was a circular field, which was surrounded by seating arrangement on all sides. It resembled the modern football field. The arena where Adrianna and Dmitri were sitting was the VIP enclosure that was covered in various spells. It was open but not a bird could enter that place without being burnt to ashes. They were sitting in the front and the rest sat behind them. The security was so tight that the wizards and witches were keeping a strict vigilance over all the citizens. 

It was Fleur who was in charge of the security this time. When Adrianna saw her flying over the area she was sitting in, their eyes met and Fleur bowed slightly. Adrianna knew that it was time that she released Fleur from her duties. Liam must be missing her crazily. She looked at Dmitri and couldn't think of parting from him even though he was a jealous werewolf and had to embarrass her in front of so many people. 

The first event was that of a group that presented them with acrobatics without magic. Then there was a ball dance by young couples, which Adrianna wanted to join. But it was Isidorus who was giving her glares and warning her not to even think about it. The restrictions she had to live with as a queen were sometimes overbearing. She was such a free spirit when she lived in the Werewolf Realm and now… Sigh…

As the day progressed there were more events that took place. Adrianna became tired. She wanted to rest but she also knew that since she was the queen, her presence would only encourage the people more. She looked at Dmitri and explained about her tiredness. Her pregnancy wasn't revealed to many people, so what to do. They also had to attend a dinner in the evening that Isidorus had hosted for the ministry people. 

Dmitri winked and communicated mentally, "Create an illusion, my lady. Even I want to go from here." 

Adrianna chuckled softly. She snapped her fingers under her robe. In an instant Dmitri found himself in their bedroom on the bed. He laughed out aloud. There were so many benefits of marrying a witch, he couldn't even imagine. He said, "Sometimes I think that we should go to other countries on short holidays. You can create such illusions while both can enjoy." 

Adrianna laughed along with him. The servants knew what the Royal Couple was up to, but they didn't dare say a word. They helped them removing the clothes. They left the room after reminding them of joining the dinner in the evening. 

The couple slept feeling blissful in each other's arms. Adrianna had to scold Dmitri for being so over-possessive about her in public, but then she let it slide. 

When created an illusion, no one could make out. However the only person who did make out was Ziu. He smiled inwards and thought now was the time to expose her. 'Hmmph! The Royal Couple!'

The program went on for another one hour and soon everyone was about to disperse. There was an announcement that the event would resume tomorrow afternoon. Everybody was waiting for the royal couple to get up first and leave and then they would follow, but they weren't only getting up. This was something really bizarre. Ziu laughed and said, "The Royal Couple is not here. This is just an illusion." The way he said, he secretly made sure that everyone in the public listened to them. 

When the public heard, all of them froze in their spot. How could their Queen leave them in the middle and fool them with her illusion. This was unbelievable. They all had prepared so much and it was all in her honor. 

Isidorus was very angry when he noticed what Ziu did. He glared at him. But what to do now, the image of the Royal Couple was at stake. Even Niiya felt very bad about the situation. 

As they were all thinking about it, suddenly everything froze on its spot. Nothing moved. Even a little dust particle froze in air.
