Chapter 392 - How About Killing Him?

Nate looked at Dmitri and understood that expression. "Dmitri, why do you get into a situation that you can't handle?"

"What do you mean?" asked Dmitri. "Some situations are out of control. It's not that I want to get into it." 

"What happened?" asked Nate as he leaned forward in his chair. 

Dmitri didn't want to explain what had transpired between him and Adrianna. All he wanted was to go back to her but he was upset with Niiya's presence. He wanted Adrianna to come after him and pamper him and massage his ego a little. But none of that happened. Instead Adrianna only went on to explain to him why it was important to see Niiya. Suddenly he turned to see Nate and said, "Is it possible that we can have a different person to represent the Human Realm?"

Nate shook his head. He knew what was eating Dmitri. "Is Niiya in the Wizard Kingdom?"

"Hmm…" came the lazy reply. "But tell me, is it possible to get him removed?"

"It is definitely possible however, that would mean finding a person whom everyone would like and then getting that person voted by the head council. Only Ed knows the ways of the head council, so it would be a gargantuan task. Also to think of the fact that Niiya won't resist… Well, to tell the long story short, it is going to be very difficult to replace Niiya. I have heard that in order to remove a head, you have to have solid reasons. For example, think of the reasons why you would be removed as the Supreme Alpha of the Werewolf Realm." 

Dmitri pursed his lips. "Isn't there an easier way? For example how about killing him? That would be the best!" replied Dmitri with a glint of excitement in his eyes.

"And why would you kill him?" asked Nate as he got up to make a peg of whiskey for the two of them. 

"I don't know…" replied Dmitri with a shrug. "Maybe because he dares to flirt with my wife. You see, you cannot flirt with the Queen of the Wizard Kingdom."

"Ah! But how come the King of the Wizard Kingdom keeps flirting so much?" asked Nate as he gave him a glass of whiskey.

"Only to make Adrianna jealous."

"Now that is a heinous crime. If I would do that Ookashi would leave me even though she is marked by me. She is a human and I feel she is more balanced than I am emotionally. So it is possible that she will survive but Dmitri, what would happen to me? Do you think as a werewolf I will be able to live without her?" Nate reasoned. 

Dmitri kept his head back on the sofa again and started looking into blank space. This wasn't going anywhere. All he could think of was how Adrianna was doing…

In the Royal Palace it was time for Adrianna to go for the evening dinner at Isidorus. She thought that this was the second time he had given dinner in her honor and it was high time she should also call all the ministry members for dinner. Her thoughts went back to Dmitri and she felt lonely again. While the servants were dressing her up for the occasion, she looked at herself in the mirror. 

One of the girls who was dressing her looked at the beautiful nape of her Queen. She was making her wear a necklace when her gaze fell on her mark that marred the beauty. She touched the mark slightly and said, "My Queen, what is it?" 

Adrianna looked at her with anger in her eyes and said, "Don't touch it ever again." Adrianna could feel electricity running in body, and she didn't like anyone else's touch on it. 

The girl was scared and said, "Sorry My Queen!" 

Once she was dressed, she looked stunning with a red evening gown flanked by a magnificent diamond necklace that created a beautiful glitter on the flawless skin of her neck. With her hair tied in a neat bun and the Queen's white robe, she looked as stately as one could. 

It was time to go for dinner. This was the first dinner hosted by anyone for the King and Queen after her coronation and Dmitri wasn't there. Her loneliness grew… But there was nothing she could do. 

She could have gone through the portal but it was a tradition to go by the carriage and so even though it was a five minutes journey to Isidorus' Palace, she went in her carriage. 

When she reached there and stepped in everyone bowed to their Queen. Isidorus rushed to her to receive her and was surprised to see that she was alone but he didn't ask her anything. 

She could see a question on the faces of those around regarding the absence of Dmitri. She walked with her head held high in between all of them and went with Isidorus to the special area where only a few could sit. She took her place and sat there gracefully. She smiled to all those who bowed to her. 

Ziu saw that she had come without Dmitri and smirked. There was something wrong with them, he was sure. He had to fan that fire and along with Niiya who was talking to him, he went over to Adrianna. Niiya who was talking while walking with Ziu was surprised to see Adrianna suddenly when they reached over there. 

"Hi there Adri!" he said. 

Adrianna smiled sheepishly. "Hello Niiya." Then she looked away. 

"Where is Dmitri?" interjected Ziu. 

Adrianna looked at Ziu to answer but before she could say anything, Niiya said aloud, "How about we raise a toast to the Queen?" 

Everyone around became alert and beamed. Adrianna became slightly uncomfortable. A servant came and gave a wine glass to her. She took it and stood up gracefully. She had to keep the act of looking confident. 

It was Niiya who raised a toast and said, "To the long collaboration of the Wizard Kingdom and the Human Realm and Long live the Queen!" 

Everybody raised their wine glasses along with Adrianna. However, just before she was about to sip the wine from her glass, two strong arms hugged her from behind and took the glass from her.
