Chapter 382 - Restoring the Balance

Adrianna chuckled. "I am fine."

Dmitri coughed a little and said, "I was asking about my baby in you."

She gritted her teeth and suddenly stopped the broom, which made him fall right on her back. He lost balance and started to fall down when he clasped his hand around the broom. Suspended in air, he shouted, "Adri!" 

Adrianna was so angry that she started flying with him in that position. He was hanging on her broom while she was sitting comfortably on it. People around her watched the two of them and none could help laughing at the couple. 

"Will you stop?" shouted Dmitri fearing he would fall from such a high altitude. 

Adrianna didn't listen to him and continued to fly, however, her broom stopped. It was as if it was out of her control. The broom shook a little and let Dmitri climb up and when he sat comfortably again, did it start moving. Adrianna was shocked at her broom. Dmitri smiled and patted her broom saying, "None of your magic can work on me. Even your broom loves me. So don't you dare go against your husband."

"Hmmph!" she said and looked forward. 

Dmitri smiled at her anger. He wrapped his hands around her tummy and said affectionately, "I missed both of you."

Adrianna melted the moment she leaned in his arms. "I missed you too darling."

They all flew for some time and then Isidorus asked whether he should create a portal for them or not. After all she must be so tired. 

Adrianna said, "No, I want to see the entire battle field from above. I can't imagine what all occurred here."

"Why my Queen?" he asked. 

She just smiled and didn't answer him but Dmitri knew. He held her closer. Soon they entered the area from where the battle began. The field was littered with ripped bodies of neotides there was blood, gore and destruction everywhere. Adrianna took her wand out threw the spells and slowly the field started converting back into the lush green jungle it was. Isidorus and the rest of the wizards understood what Adrianna meant when she said that she wanted to fly back. 

She restored the balance that was there before the battle. Soon they reached the fields outside the Wizard Kingdom and Adrianna swished her wand again. The jungle that was dotted with burnt trees and patches of dry grass because of all the fire once again became as beautiful it was. Restoring balance was one of the most difficult witchcraft because it was like going back in time. Not many wizards could do it and the last that a wizard could it was the Crown himself. Everyone was amazed at Adrianna but little did they know where the power was coming from. 

They all reached the Wizard Kingdom soon. Adrianna noticed that the area of the wall that was breached hadn't been restored completely. She knew that it would take a long time to restore it. The spells on it were a work of several centuries and it couldn't be completed in just a few days. 

There was a jubilation mood in the people of the Wizard Kingdom. All of them were in a festivity mood. While going back to the Royal Palace Isidorus said, "We should have a huge celebration to show our victory. The Wizard Kingdom has for the first time in centuries has become a better place to live with Vikra gone forever. There would be no more threats now."

Adrianna nodded. 

Isidorus was happy that the child was safe. All along the while Adrianna was flying back, he was flying a few feet behind them feeling protective about the child. He couldn't understand his attraction for the baby at all but all he knew was that he had to protect and live for the child. He wished himself a longer life. At the same time he wanted to ask her what all happened in Vikra's land. What about her curse? 

Meanwhile Mihr was also feeling extremely protective about Adrianna. At one time he thought that he could lay his life for her. Even he didn't understand this sudden change in his feelings, and was bewildered about the way he had started thinking about her. He allegiance towards her only increased. 

Everyone went to their abodes when they reached the kingdom. They were so tired that as soon as they entered, they all disappeared including the Mozias. 

Adrianna and Dmitri entered the Royal Palace and they just went to their room. The servants were all standing there to bathe the royal couple even though they wanted some alone time. Both the King and Queen were given a royal bath and then only all the servants left. Once they had settled, food came in. Adrianna ate like a cow while Dmitri watched her in horror. 

The day went by quickly. When it was night, the couple slept in others arms as the canopy around them covered them from all sides. The canopy now had yellow and pink flowers blooming in it. 

It was so relaxing that both of them didn't want to wake up early. However, the duties came first. Adrianna had to wake up to go to the noble court. The servants had made sure that she woke up in time. 

While the servants readied her, Dmitri kept sleeping. He looked so relaxed that she didn't have the heart to wake up. 

When she walked into the noble court, she found that everyone was present there and they all bowed to their queen. They all had awe in their eyes. She walked to the throne and found that Isidorus was standing there on the right side of the throne while Mihr was on the left side. She nodded at both of them and sat on the throne. 

The crown appeared from its cage and settled on her head beautifully. This time Adrianna didn't have any problem when the crown settled on her. It was as if he was waiting for her. Even Adrianna wondered why didn't she undergo the usual process of severe headache but as soon as the crown settled on her head, it said, "Welcome back. I want that baby safe and secure always. So from now on you will not go on any battles or adventures. You will send your army." 

Adrianna was shocked. Why was the crown being so protective about her child?
