"Pure gold?" Ziu was shocked when he heard that. He looked at Adrianna with amazement. She was looking like a young child who had just been given a lollipop in her hands. He looked at how chirpy and happy she was, completely oblivious of what she had done. Words left him as he stared into those shiny black eyes that were glinting at thinking about something.
"Can you show me how you created the portal?" he asked her.
"Yes, of course!" answered Adrianna. She went a little further away and chanting the spell, she created the circle. Moments later a gold portal was created. Ziu was dumbfounded at the beautiful portal that had wolf scripture inscriptions on it. He looked at Coral with wide eyes and his fell open. Coral was equally surprised.
Adrianna walked into it and disappeared only to emerge behind Professor Ziu. She tapped his shoulder and said, "Professor Ziu."
Ziu turned around sharply to look at her. "Adrianna, you are the only person who could create a portal like that! Do you know?"
Adrianna nodded. "Yes, Fleur told me that each wizard and witch create their own specific portals."
"What I mean is that no one in the wizard kingdom has been able to create a gold portal other than…" Ziu stopped himself from taking his name.
"Other than whom?" she demanded an answer.
"Other than Vikra…"
Adrianna raised her eyebrows as she tilted her head. "Could you explain the significance of it because obviously each wizard and witch can create their unique portals? How come I could create one that is same as Vikra?"
Ziu inhaled and said, "Most of us create portals that are not of any value. That's why what you have done is unique. For now you won't be using your energy to create the portal for yourself. You will use Fleur's help at all times."
"B- but- I know how to make it now. Why should I use Fleur's service all the time?" said Adrianna getting agitated and unhappy. She had thought so much about it and suddenly her bubble burst. "I will make my own portal!" she declared.
"No!" shouted Ziu. "You will not and that's it!" Saying that Ziu stormed out of the room.
Like a grumpy child Adrianna went and sat on the chair in the far corner. She had learnt the art so eagerly only not to use it? This was unjustified.
Coral shook her head. She just didn't have anything to say. Ziu had warned her not to speak about it to anyone. She picked her stuff from there and went to Adrianna, "Professor Ziu doesn't mean harm. He is doing this for your safety. I think you have plenty of enemies and you shouldn't do anything that will make you a more lucrative target than what you are already."
Adrianna looked at Professor Coral. She nodded slightly and then got up to go.
The academy got over and Adrianna went to the Royal Palace. She went to her bedroom and remembered about her broom. As soon as she remembered about it, she smiled. To her surprise, the broomstick had found its way to its master and was tickling her on her calves urging her to mount it.
"Wait, we will meet Dmitri in fashion," she said and summoned Fleur.
"I have to meet Dmitri," she said and mounted her broom. Fleur chuckled and created the portal. Adrianna entered in it sitting on her broom.
Dmitri was sitting on the bed when he saw her entering flying on a broom. She flew right in front of him and stopped. Dmitri was in for a shock. "Adri, oh my god! You look like a real witch now!" he commented and broke into uncontrollable laughter. "Should I buy that witch's hat for you? That will perfect the looks," he added and rolled on the bed in laughter as Adrianna watched him still in the air over the bed.
Adrianna narrowed her eyes and dismounted the broom. The broom went and stood in a corner. "Mr. Dmitri, what was so funny about me on the broom?" she asked as she sat right across his thighs and stopped him from rolling around. "I came on my broom to show you my skills. Do you know how skillful your wife is now?"
Dmitri stopped laughing. He grinned and looked at his wife as his eyes were in tears because of excessive laughter. He extended his arms and said, "Come here first." She threw herself in his arms and he wrapped her tightly. He kissed her on her head and said, "Ah! I missed you so much." He inhaled her scent and relaxed.
"I read your note…"
"And…?"
"I haven't executed Reinjie…"
Adrianna snuggled in the crook of his neck. She kissed him over there and whispered, "Thank you."
"You are welcome. However, you are not allowed to meet him, okay?"
"Okay…" she nodded in his neck.
They kept on lying in that state for a long time, each refusing to give up their position. Then Adrianna said, "You have to come with me for dinner tonight."
"Is my wife going to take me on a date?" he smiled and asked.
"Not a bad idea," she answered. "Let's go on a date tomorrow. I will treat you," said Adrianna rolling off him.
He propped his head on his raised hand on the side and said, "I would love to." He paused to trace her lips. He missed her so much. He opened her lip and placed a kiss inside it. "All mine…"
"What dinner are we talking about?" he asked as he read her thoughts.
"I don't know. Isidorus wants me to attend it with you. There will be a council of ministers and their wives." Adrianna hid the fact that she had to get close to Mihr.
"Fine, we will go but before that I need my wife to please me," said Dmitri once again in a mischievous tone. Adrianna tried to get out of the bed but Dmitri pounced on her and pinned her to the bed. "Won't let you go now, my enchantress."
He started peeling her clothes as she giggled. He took one of her breasts in his mouth and said, "I missed you two so much."
"I thought you missed me," whined Adrianna.
"Hush Adri. I am talking to my babies here." He started sucking one of them roughly and when its nipple puckered, he said, "See they respond to me." Once again he grabbed them and kept sucking them.
