The Wizard Kingdom was ready for the Queen and the King. It was decorated so beautifully that it resembled a fairy tale kingdom. There were paper lamps that floated in the sky. Each lamp had a lovely pair of dolls of Adrianna and Dmitri. Wherever one would go, there would be a group of people either dancing or participating in a game. The trees were decorated with thousands of lights and every house had some or the other decoration that showed solidarity to the crown, to the Queen.
Next day when Adrianna and Dmitri woke up, the servants helped them with dressing up for the occasion. They had to go to the third level for inaugurating the event. Once they were ready, they went out to sit in the royal carriage. Adrianna found that apart from her security, there was Isidorus, Mihr, Ziu and others from the ministry who were standing for their Queen. Adrianna understood that they would all accompany her to the third level. She smiled as everyone bowed to her and climbed the carriage. Dmitri followed her.
Soon the carriage was airborne followed by the rest of the carriages. The way all of them were flying it was looking so majestic that the citizens couldn't help but come out of their homes or stand and watch them. The carriages first went to the second level and then slowly went to the third level where the moment the doves of Adrianna's carriage touched the ground, they started walking slowly to pull the carriage amongst the citizens who had lined the streets to see their King and Queen.
Adrianna waved at them and they cheered for her. Isidorus' carriage followed behind hers, then Mihr's and then the rest of them. Everyone of feeling very happy and cheerful except one person – Ziu. Everything that was happening was like an eyesore for him. Had Vikra succeeded in his venture, instead of Adrianna it would have been him who were sitting in the lead carriage.
Suddenly a group of dancers came in front of the carriage. Immediately Mihr's men surrounded them. However, Adrianna could easily find out that they were having genuine intentions and so she asked Mihr's men to leave the group.
The group bowed to their Queen and the leader said that they had been preparing for this victory dance ever since the Queen had started fighting for them. They had full confidence that their Queen would save them from the wrath of Vikra and neotides.
Adrianna was so overwhelmed by the speech that she bowed gratefully in front of them and flicked her wand to open the carriage from all the sides. As soon as the carriage opened, citizens could see their King and Queen in full glory and all them cheered them again. However, Mihr was in deep trouble at this gesture. He created an invisible magic cover around the Royal Couple just in case…
The group started performing and it was simply majestic. The way the dancers swayed and jumped around in the air, it was as if they defied the rules of gravity. It was at this time that Adrianna remembered how humans danced in the Human Realm. She chuckled. If they would see what was happening here, they would faint.
When the dance was over, the Queen thanked them politely and the carriage moved forward. After about twenty minutes, they arrived at the main venue for inauguration. Adrianna and Dmitri got down and their guards surrounded them immediately. Adrianna was getting a little irritated by the security Mihr was going with. She wanted to reprimand him that this was much more than what was needed. It was distancing her from her people.
There were two layers of security around her and so the nearest commoner that was close to them was more than twenty feet away. Aside from that Mihr also wanted to cast a spell of security around the royal couple to which Adrianna vehemently denied.
Soon the entire troupe reached the inauguration point. Adrianna was given a scissors to cut the ribbon. She smiled thinking how sweet everything was. Very human-like approach. She just took the scissors and cut the ribbon to declare the even open. As soon as the ribbon was cut, somewhere far fireworks started and thousands of balloons were released into the air. She wondered if the wizards and witches of her kingdom ever went to the Human Realm because it was all so similar.
Suddenly she noticed a carriage flying towards them and it landed a few meters away from them. She was in for the astonishment of her life when she saw Niiya stepping out of that carriage. Dmitri's face darkened when he saw Niiya, but Adrianna was ecstatic. One of the ministry people came forward and informed her that all the balloons and firecrackers were an idea of Niiya who had come here the previous night and wanted to give her a surprise.
Adrianna laughed at Niiya when he came closer. Looking at the two of them he bowed. Adrianna grinned while Dmitri smirked.
"I wanted to give you a surprise, Adrianna," said Niiya. "This is for our days as friends," he pointed at the sky that was now dotted with thousands of balloons.
Dmitri felt like puncturing every balloon that was up there. He closed his fists in anger. This Niiya! What couldn't he leave his wife now?
Adrianna chuckled and said, "Thanks Niiya. This was indeed a special surprise and I am so thankful to you!"
Niiya waved his hand and said, "Oh! This is nothing. But I am glad that you liked it."
Dmitri glared at him. Was he flirting with his wife? Did he have no regard for his life? Didn't he know that making him jealous would be painful for this human?
Adrianna read Dmitri's thoughts and she communicated him mentally to chill. He was their guest and should be treated with respect, but Dmitri was in no mood to listen. His festivity was already spoiled by the presence of this single human!
"If he doesn't leave this place in a few minutes, I will kill him!" he replied once again glaring at Niiya in a way as if his glare was enough to burn him to ashes!
"Stop it Dmitri!" Adrianna chided him.
