Isidorus men came and reported to him that there was absolutely nothing new that had entered the Wizard Kingdom. Since it was winter and all the levels were covered in snow, there was not much activity. Even though the wizards could easily make it warm during the winters, the Wizard Kingdom had its rules on never tampering with the earth's atmosphere. They respected Mother Nature and it truly blessed them in various ways.
Isidorus was very intrigued now. It could only mean one this and that was that there was someone within the kingdom who was the enemy, and this was more dangerous than ever. He had to talk to Adrianna and make sure that she stayed safe.

When Adrianna woke up in the morning, she found Dmitri wrapped around her like ivy. She wanted to get up and go, but he simply grasped her hard. "No, don't go…" he said in his sleep and made her sleep with him longer. In fact he made love to her even more when she woke up. He pinned her beneath him and inserted his member until both of them were breathless. He slumped beside her and pulled her over her. Her weight comforted him. He couldn't live without her, and so every time he opened his eyes, he wanted to assure himself of the fact that she was there beside him.
Finally Adrianna was allowed to get dressed and go to the Wizard Kingdom when it was almost afternoon on the promise that she would return in the evening. Before Adrianna went through the portal Dmitri reminded her of something she had completely forgotten. "Next week it is full moon night and you will be under curse. How are you going to tackle that?"
Adrianna didn't know how she would tackle that now that she was also the queen. How would things turn out? She became worried and thought that she needed to discuss that with Isidorus. "I don't know Dmitri. Why don't you come to the Wizard realm today? I will call Isidorus also to discuss this situation."
"Okay, let me see," he replied as he hugged her in his n.a.k.e.d glory. He kissed her forehead and said, "You better hurry up now."
Adrianna smiled and walked through the portal. Isidorus was waiting for her and looked pretty angry for her coming so late but he didn't say a thing. As usual, she was immediately taken to the noble court where as soon as she sat on the throne, the crown came and sat on her head. The day's activities started. Isidorus reminded her to recruit new members of the ministry or continue with the same ones.
She looked at the list again. Then she announced, "I want Mihr to be the military general of the Wizard Kingdom." It came as a surprise to many because he was known to be a traitor but others lacked the judgment. Mihe was the traitor undoubtedly, but he had openly come in support of Adrianna. He had severed all contact with Vikra and most of all he knew about several secrets about Vikra'a men. That was the knowledge that Adrianna was interested in. She had stopped doubting his loyalty toward her ever since Nefasky's incident.
Isidorus was given the position of advisor to the queen and hence he retained the same portfolio as before. Now only one important portfolio was left and that was of the Prime Minister of the noble court.
Many ministry members had given names for the post. It was actually strange that even those members who were clearly her dissidents wanted the post. However, the only name that comes to her mind was that of Professor Ziu. So she thought that she would talk to him about the post rather than hurrying and filling it.
Rest of the day had gone in determining important positions in the ministry. Members who were supporters of Vikra, which Isidorus had already noticed in the last stage of the competition, were all dismissed. They were put in house arrest for several days until the order was lifted. New members came instead of them. Adrianna also recruited some students from academy, one of them being Lenny. It was a pity that Shay and Lile were against Adrianna, otherwise with all the power they had, she would have definitely recruited them. She was very disappointed about the fact that Zephyr worked with Lile against her. Had he been slightly patient and had faith in Adrianna, she would have definitely offered him a position. But his greed engulfed his rationale.
Once all the people were selected, Adrianna was about to leave, when Isidorus said that she was called to the academy for graduation the next day. Adrianna smiled and said, "Okay…"
It was evening when she reached the Royal Palace. She took a shower and waited for Dmitri to come. Once Dmitri was there, she even summoned Isidorus. "What is it my Queen?" asked Isidorus looking slightly irritated because she had disturbed him from his favorite hobby.
"I wanted to talk about my curse on the full moon night," said Adrianna looking intently at Isidorus. "Dmitri and I wanted your advice on this issue. I was thinking of going to the werewolf realm during the period of the curse and would return here once it is over. Dmitri is going to stay with me all the time."
"No Adrianna, this is just too dangerous. What if someone captures you?" said Isidorus aghast at her idea.
"But why would anyone capture me? No one except, Howard, Ed, you and Dmitri know about my curse. I don't think anyone would even suspect about me being the rogue wolf," she replied.
Dmitri nodded. "Yes, that us true and it would be better if we keep this low profile. The curse comes into effect when it is full moon night. People are already aware of that fact that there is a rogue wolf during those times, and so they stay inside their homes."
