Adrianna was so happy to see him that she went and hugged him from the back. Dmitri smiled and held her arm. "Where have you been? It's so late."

"Hmm… something urgent came up…" she replied, as she smelled the familiar scent that always calmed her. The incident of the morning was still in her mind. "How is your mother now?" 

​​

"She will be fine in a few days…" he replied. "I want to leave her alone. She had built so many walls around her just for the sake of Keisha that when the walls are crashing down, they are making noise and only she can deal with that." 

Adrianna couldn't agree more.

"I am planning to stay here for the next two days," he declared. 

Adrianna jumped with joy, "Really?" 

He nodded as he tousled her hair. "Yes, it is time I spend my time with you without any distraction. Quality time." 

Adrianna giggled. She hugged him again and jumped while hugging him, spilling his wine. He laughed at her. He kept his glass on the parapet and picked his wife. "The quality time starts now!" 

"What?" Adrianna looked at him with horror. 

Dmitri just took her to the bed and made her lie there as he pressed her. The flower canopy surrounded them. White flowers were blossoming. However, as time went by when Dmitri removed her clothes and kissed all around her white skin, the flowers turned pink and red. In between his kissed he asked, "I wonder what would be the color of the flower when you will get pregnant?" 

As he said that he went between her thighs and started his ministrations. The flowers in the canopy became red in color.  

When Adrianna woke up the next morning, she noticed she couldn't move an inch. She looked down and saw that Dmitri was sleeping half on her tummy with his hands wrapped around her. She moved a little. Sensing her movement, he opened his eyes and smiled lazily. "Don't go to the academy today. Let's make babies," he said seductively. 

Adrianna giggled. "We can do that when I come back."

"I am sensing that my wife is giving in to her deep desires of getting the crown," said Dmitri jokingly but Adrianna looked at him with wide eyes as the sleep left her that instant. What he said was true? 

She shrugged those feelings and patted him. "See you soon darling." She got up to get ready.  

Early morning all the students gathered in the garden in front before the classes began. Everyone was waiting with anticipation as to which students would be invited for the third stage of the competition. All by the morning had come to know about Nefasky's incident and so they knew that she wouldn't be participating. They felt sad for her as she was a capable student and stood a great chance of winning the third stage.  

All the professors had lined up the stage as though waiting for someone. Suddenly they saw Isidorus walking on the stage flanked by two ministry people who were holding some scrolls. When they reached the center of the stage, all the professors greeted them. The people from the ministry handed the scroll to Isidorus. He opened it to read out the announcement. 

"Students, this year we have kept entry to the third stage of the competition very limited. We will be inviting only the top sixteen students according to the points they have aggregated in the two stages. In case any of these students would want to drop out, they have to do before the last date of enrolling and the last date of enrolling is day after tomorrow. Once the names are locked after the last date, the students will have to take part in the competition. There will be no backing allowed. 

"The invites will be sent to you privately and we will not announce it here. As for the rules, you have to check the notice board again to know about them. The competition will commence from the first day of the next week."

After the announcement was made, all the students went back to their classes. Zephyr was sitting in the class waiting for all the students with anger on his face. Adrianna had noticed his absence from the morning's assembly. As the class started, he said, "I won't be teaching you how to get into the cell. After yesterday's incident, the ministry has banned the spell and if anyone is caught casting that spell would go to prison."  

The students gasped when they heard that. Who would dare to go against the ministry, let alone cast the spell? It was just too dangerous. It was only Adrianna who had learnt it, so none of them paid much attention. Zephyr looked at Adrianna who was directly looking into his eyes. A smile left her lips and he knew what must have happened. 

While he was teaching another spell, a messenger came with invites.
