Chapter 325 - All Hail, The Queen!

Adrianna went after him as she walked a little further in her cell. She had so many questions to ask him but he wasn't to be seen anywhere. She did not have any other option. She came back to consciousness on the chair. Adrianna opened her eyes and she saw the mist around her started clearing. 

All the guests saw a crowned Adrianna who had opened her eyes, which were now golden yellow in color. They were stunned. She was glowing, and with the crown on her head, she looked like a goddess. It was the first time that ministers and Isidorus had experienced this kind of crowning. There were legends that the first ruler glowed when he wore that crown, which was thousands of years back but it was the first time that they had seen a current ruler with that legendary aura around her. She glowed so much that she looked like a star in the sky. Isidorus stepped back further, scared that he would get burnt in her radiance. Suddenly, a scepter appeared from nowhere in Adrianna's hands. 

Dmitri was shocked and nervous at the way his wife appeared. He tried to communicate with her mentally. "Adri…"

"I am there…" came a reassuring reply even though it caused her a slight headache. 

Looking extremely fierce with her golden yellow eyes, Adrianna got up from the chair. She could see people around her but in a different manner. She realized that she was now seeing the world through the eyes of the crown. People appeared as though they had an extra layer of luminosity around them. Some of them had a thick layer while some had thinner layers. What was that layer about? 

"That layer of light around them is their energy. There are a number of things that you can come to know about that person with just this layer," said the Crown.  

All of a sudden, there was a huge cheer from the audience, "All Hail, The Queen!" The voices were coming like echoes. Everyone seemed excited. 

With the crown on her head, it was like having two heads on her shoulders. Every sense was enhanced. Since Adrianna was a half werewolf, and already had heightened senses, the outcome was even more phenomenal. She looked around at each and every member in a different perspective now. She heard a voice inside her mind, "Do you feel the difference Adrianna? We are now two people in one body." 

People cheered once again, "My Queen!" Everyone was enthusiastic that the crown had accepted Adrianna. It was one of the most exhilarating events of their life. 

Adrianna turned to sit on the throne, which had appeared again. She looked at it and felt attracted it. "My seat…" she heard that voice again. 

Isidorus looked at her with a satisfied smile and invited her to sit on the throne. "My Queen, the throne awaits you," he said as he bowed. Adrianna looked at him with a stern face and sat on the throne with her scepter that rested on her lap. 

Immediately, outside the palace, a hundred doves were released which was a symbol that the crown had accepted the candidate who was claiming it. Adrianna was the new Queen of the Wizard Kingdom. There was jubilation in the entire Kingdom. 

When Adrianna sat on the throne, she looked around once again at everybody. She could feel that everyone was the same in her eyes. There was no regard to the status, age, relation or friendship. All that mattered was the fact that she had to stay unbiased. When her gaze fell on Dmitri, she found herself feeling thankful to him. He was the only man out of so many whose heartbeats she could see. Her glow increased and her golden yellow eyes became soft. 

Isidorus followed at Adrianna's gaze. He went to Dmitri and invited him to sit on the throne along with Adrianna. Feeling extremely proud of his wife, Dmitri walked to the throne. However, he was surprised when he found himself kneeling in front of her. She touched his shoulder with the scepter. Dmitri was shocked to what was happening. Which was this invisible force that was subjecting him to kneel down in front of Adrianna? 

Once she touched him with the scepter, he was forced to stand. He looked up at her. Suddenly he saw that another smaller throne appeared on the left side of Adrianna. Isidorus guided him to sit on that throne. Dmitri walked over there. 

Dmitri looked at his wife proudly and then towards the audience. Even though he could feel that there was something very different about her, he didn't show it on the face. The moment that he was waiting for had arrived. He had seen Adrianna suffering so much over the past few months because of her family or friends that he could never imagine that the nineteen year old girl sitting there on the throne would one day become the queen of the Wizard Kingdom, a kingdom where people were scared to go, a place which was considered to be the most powerful place. All those hardships, all those days filled with worry and all that nervousness was now over. However, with power came the responsibility and he could feel that Adrianna was already up to face the new challenges in her life. But now how would they rule the two kingdoms, each with their responsibilties?

Once Adrianna settled on the throne, one by one everyone came and kissed her hand to accept her as their queen. The gifts that they had brought with them appeared one by one as they kissed her hand. Adrianna touched those gifts and they disappeared. 

Adrianna noticed that Isidorus was standing on her right side, below the platform. He looked immensely satisfied. The goal was achieved and now the enemies of the Wizard Kingdom would back down.

Meanwhile, Cy recruited an army of neotides who had to collect in the area that was identified by Reese right outside the third level of the Wizard Kingdom. He couldn't wait to strike. 

"How long will it take us to get there?" asked Reese. 

"Two days…" replied Vikra. 

Before they could talk more, once again a messenger appeared. "My Lord!" he said. The news that he gave cost him his life.
