Dmitri carried her to the bedroom. He placed her on the bed and said, "If the council members are asking for it, then you must follow it."
Adrianna looked away. She crawled inwards and laid on the bed. She said, "Dmitri, can you not stay here longer?"
"You know I can't. It is very important for me to go back."
"When will you go back?"
"Tomorrow Adri…"
Something ached inside and a tear rolled out of her eye. The only person whom she had come to love more than anything was Dmitri; he was her strength. How would things turn out? He climbed up behind her and spooned her. Then, to alleviate the atmosphere, he said, "The servants here have offered to take me around to tour the wizard kingdom. Would you like to come with me?"
Adrianna nodded and said, "Yes, sure." She turned towards him and he saw the tear in her eye. He wiped it with his finger and said, "Don't worry. We will find a way to meet, okay? We are destined for a lifetime now. No one can snatch you away from me."
Adrianna giggled. She felt better. After half an hour, they were walking around the second level of the wizard kingdom with a tour guide. There were ten wizards and witches who surrounded the couple at all times. Even though the people were intrigued by the fact that Adrianna was their potential queen, it was Dmitri who brought more stares and glances, especially from the opposite s.e.x. The witches of the kingdom had gone crazy over his hot looks.
Adrianna was often detained from getting out of the carriage that they were in because of security purposes, but Dmitri would often walk out and look around with the tour guide. It was not long before that the entire wizard kingdom was abuzz with news about the most handsome man present in the wizard kingdom. Wherever he went, the witches would try to throw charm spells at him. The tour guide was starting to have problems deflecting all their spells. He wanted to put a placard on Dmitri's chest saying, "I am married to the queen."
At one point of time, a charm spell hit Dmitri. As soon as he was under the effect of the spell, he looked woozy and started walking towards the witch who had cast the spell on him. The tour guide was having a difficult time restraining him and had to gather the help of two more wizards in the security team to get Dmitri back into the carriage. When Adrianna saw Dmitri in that condition, she got annoyed at him.
"Dmitri, how could you forget me?" she asked.
Dmitri looked foolishly at her, and replied, "Who are you young lady? You are very beautiful."
The tour guide explained that the effects would wear off in another fifteen minutes. Adrianna moved closer to Dmitri, hugged him, and said, "Come back to me, you moron." The spell broke immediately.
Dmitri was wide eyed. "How could you call me a moron?"
Adrianna started laughing. She encased Dmitri in a faint sheath of white light. "You can go anywhere now, this sheath with protect you from charm spells."
The tour guide was surprised to see this kind of a protective layer. No spell in the wizard kingdom could do that. He looked at Adrianna with wonder and awe but all he saw was a pretty young girl who was smiling and trying to protect her husband.
The tour was more efficiently completed after that.
It was evening when they returned to the royal palace.

Meanwhile, in the second realm where all the werewolves were staying, Liam had recovered quickly, but Fleur was still recuperating. He wanted to go and see her. The servants had informed him that they were staying very close to Howard's house. Without thinking twice, Liam rushed to meet Fleur. He was greeted by a servant and then taken to Fleur's room. When he got there, he saw that she was sleeping. He felt better upon seeing her. He held her hand and waited for her to wake up.
It hadn't been more than ten minutes when, to his surprise, he saw Ed entering Fleur's room.
"Don't look at me like that." Ed narrowed his eyes once he noticed Liam holding Fleur's hand. "I am Howard's guest. What are you doing sitting here?"
"I am not sitting. I am standing," he answered, getting up but not letting go of her hand.
"You can go. She will be fine," said Ed.
"Thank you Ed," he replied as he sat down.
"You don't have to touch Fleur, Liam."
"I won't," he said as he clasped her hand tightly.
"Liam, Fleur is a witch," Ed said, hoping that the news would make Liam back off. "You are no good for her."
"Oh, I have known that she is a witch for a long time."
Ed was surprised. "Since when?"
"For the last three days."
As soon as she woke up, the first thing she saw was Liam. She was very happy to see him. Although she had already fully recuperated, she acted weak in front of him.
