Chapter 354 - Battle Between Wizards And Neotides (9)

Dmitri looked at his beloved wife and hugged her tightly. He said, "So what if you will turn into a werewolf involuntarily? We will take you back to Ed's place. You can wander around over there and come back in the morning. Mun is already there to take care of you." He kissed her head to reassure her that it wasn't something she should be scared of now. They had found a solution for this problem. 

Adrianna lifted her head from his shoulders and replied, "How can I leave my people just to cater to my problem Dmitri? I cannot leave them fighting off the enemy themselves. They need me now."

"But your problem is very serious. What if someone comes to know about you?" he asked shook to the core thinking what would happen if she would change into a werewolf while fighting with Vikra and neotides. 

"We have to find a solution to this problem together Dmitri," she said as she rested her head back on his shoulders.

Outside the wall of the Wizard Kingdom, Cy and his fellow wizard were working on breaking the wall and they were doing it pretty fast. The problem was that as soon as they broke a barrier of spell, they had to face another complicated one immediately. Cy knew that Isidorus must have created a number of complicated spells, which were not so easy to break for a normal wizard. Understand and breaking them was an art only a few knew. He wondered even Adrianna knew all the powers of Isidorus. 

The evening was approaching fast. After the Mozia had killed so many neotides, Reese had got them together instead of asking them to disperse. So one could see a sea of neotides lurking outside the wall, eagerly waiting for it to break. This time they were in large numbers and they knew that they had to enter the wall with a larger force – large enough for the wizards to be shaken.

Although Isidorus had gone to rest, he was still agitated. He was restless and wondered what would this war take to end. He was ready to sacrifice his life. So many of his colleagues were ready to sacrifice their lives. He went back to the place where they were breaching the wall. He had asked Mihr to also keep looking around all around the periphery of the Wizard Kingdom to see if there were any breaches. Fortunately there were very small instances, which could be easily taken care of. 

While Cy was breaking the spells, Isidorus was creating them. He was creating even more complicated ones so that Cy took more time to break them. Isidorus was trying his best but he knew that it was just a matter of time. He was hoping for Adrianna to come as soon as possible. She had too many ideas in her brain and she was a natural warrior. 

In the meanwhile Adrianna was resting in the palace. She needed all her energy for the battle tonight. She knew that Reese was now aggravated and would attack with more energy and vigor but Adrianna was ready for it. She had already formed a strategy in her mind. She didn't know why but she had a feeling that Vikra needed her. Along with Dmitri, she dozed off to sleep. She was so tired that it she slept immediately, and so did Dmitri. However, when she woke up two hours later, she found that Dmitri was already awake. He was looking at the canopy of flowers above him. She looked in his direction and asked, as she curled her hands around him, "What are you looking at hubby?"

He pointed his finger to the blossoms above him. "Do you see that?" 

Adrianna looked in the direction and saw that there were lots of blossoms out there. She smiled and replied, "There are so many flowers over there, more than the usual…"

"Do you see that yellow flower hidden between them?" he asked in a curious tone. He had been seeing it from a long time now. He remembered that a yellow flower bloomed if the queen was pregnant. Was Adrianna pregnant? Was this an indication? Or was he just imagining things?

Adrianna's eyes became wide. It was slightly dark but she could make out the colors of the flowers. They were the usual pink and white. They turned red when the two of them were passionately making inside. She tried to search for the yellow flower, but there was none. She said, "Pfft. You are just imagining things."

Dmitri rose up and extended his hand in that direction. "Here, look here."

Adrianna narrowed her eyes to focus better. She saw a small yellow blossom hidden behind those flowers. Her mouth opened and she sprang up on the bed. She had goosebumps all over her body. "Yes, there is one…" she replied in a daze. But how could this be? They were all in the midst of a battle. 

Dmitri looked at her and pulled her on his lap. "Adri, are you pregnant?" 

Adrianna looked at him with a stupid expression. She said, "Since when did we start believing in blossoming of yellow flowers for confirmation of pregnancy? I mean do we throw away all the logic in the trash? What about all the pregnancy kits and tests and what about doctors examining you? This is absurd and I won't believe unless I get examined by a human doctor!" 

Dmitri was stunned at her outburst. He stroked her hair and said, "Are you scared?" 

Adrianna hugged him tightly. "Dmitri, I am…"

He could feel her fear. It reached his heart and suddenly even though he was scared. What if she was pregnant? With the battle happening on the outside of the wall, the timing was just too off. 

She buried her face in his neck. "Dmitri, if this is true, you will not tell this to anyone because then it is highly possible that they won't let me fight and I have to save my kingdom."

Dmitri was in a situation he couldn't even deny, but for a moment he became selfish. "I am sure they can fight the neotides away without you. You are there for support and strategy. You don't have to get into it."

She looked at him and said, "No Dmitri, this is the battle that Vikra had been waiting for, and I won't let him win it. You have to understand. Promise me you won't speak about it to anyone."
