Dmitri couldn't collect his ideas about Ziu. It was impossible to pinpoint on anything so he pursed his lips. He looked away from Adrianna and then after a short pause said, "I just feel that there is something going on in his mind. You should investigate this a little…"
Adrianna looked at Ziu who was standing far across in the room along with Niiya and few other witches, all of which were talking to him with admiration in their eyes. She stared at Ziu for some time in order to get into his cell, but she was blocked. Ziu was indeed a powerful man and if what Dmitri said was correct then she had to look for an opportunity to investigate him.
In the next hour, various other ministry members, businessmen and other people came to meet her. Dinner was served and as soon as they had it, the Royal Couple left. Isidorus had told them to stay longer because the people were going to base their movement around the Royal Couple. They noticed when the couple came in or walked out. Everything was noticed. All programs were scheduled according to them. So it was important how they conducted in front of their people.
Adrianna and Dmitri left after a little while, as she couldn't withstand her sleepiness. Isidorus understood her predicament. While walking out she looked at Ziu once again and noticed that he was also looking at her. She gave a smile and turned her face away.
By the time they reached home, Adrianna had a few things in her mind. She remembered that when she had made Ziu the Prime Minister of the Wizard Kingdom, the crown didn't like the proposal and had even warned her.
Next day they had to go to the celebrations that were taking place in the third level. Once those events were over, she went to the Ministry Building along with Dmitri. As she walked to her chamber, she saw that there were only a few people out there. The place was very quiet. As soon as they saw their Queen, they all bowed to her. It was indeed surprising to see her there at this time.
Dmitri was impressed by the building so much that he said, "We should make room for resting here too."
"What makes you think we don't have one here?" said Adrianna with a small frown.
They walked and just before she was about to climb to her chamber, she saw that Seashell, the lion was lying there, sleeping as usual. He sensed her coming towards the staircase and woke up with a soft roar. "My Queen," he said as he too bowed to her. "Seeing you after a long time."
"How are you Seashell?" communicated Adrianna.
"I am doing well but who is this man with you?" he asked as he allowed her to climb but stopped Dmitri coming right in front of him baring his teeth.
Dmitri narrowed his eyes and stood there with his arms crossed across his chest. He felt like shape shifting and fight this animal for blocking him.
Adrianna rolled her eyes at Dmitri and communicated to Seashell, "He is my husband."
"Oh!" replied Seashell, as he walked to the side and gave him the clearance. "Very arrogant!"
Dmitri walked past him with his head held high. Suddenly as he was climbing the first step, he felt as if someone had slapped his buttocks. Shocked he turned to see and saw Seashell standing behind him and looking at his face.
"I am sorry but that was my tail I couldn't control," replied Seashell as Adrianna asked him to behave.
"Did this lion just slapped me on my buttocks?" asked Dmitri turning t look at her in anger.
Adrianna shrugged. She didn't answer and walked away from there. Dmitri turned back to glare at Seashell and with two of his finger pointed at his eyes and then at him to convey that he was watching him.
"Bah! Keep watching. Who is bothered?" came a soft growl.
Adrianna went to her chamber but she didn't stop there. She went to the library that was adjacent to her room. Dmitri followed her. He went and sat down on the couch. He took his shoes off and putting his feet up, he said, "This is lovely. Adri, I am now enjoying you being the Queen…"
Adrianna shook her head and left him there. She went inside the library. She moved her face from left to right to locate the bookshelf that Isidorus had once told her about. She moved forward as her gaze fell on it and opened it slowly. There was a red button that she pressed and a large number of cupboards moved aside as a lift came into view. When its door opened, she saw that the inside of the lift were made of gold. There was a large mirror right in front. The lift was lift with just one light and it shimmered.
"Where do you want to go My Queen?" asked a voice inside the lift.
Adrianna stepped inside and said, "Take me to Doc.u.ment Records."
The door of the lift closed. It started moving very fast towards the right and within a minute, it started going down. The lift opened into the Doc.u.ment Records section. When Adrianna walked in, the doors of the section automatically opened. She noticed that there were two elves working in that section. She was surprised. Isidorus had told that there was only one elf but now she was facing two more.
"Good afternoon," said the elves together as they bowed to her. One of them was seven feet tall while the other one was about Dmitri's height.
"I- I am Adrianna," she stuttered.
"We know you, Queen of the Wizard Kingdom. What would you like to see?" asked the taller one without even blinking his eyes.
"How come I didn't know about you two?"
"We work in this section where we have doc.u.mented every record about all the wizards and witches. This place contain secrets of many and so we cannot be revealed to anyone."
Adrianna was stunned. There was so much secrecy but she got a hold of herself and said, "I want to see Ziu's records."
