"Yes. Howard was just too unhappy with the two of us in his house…" said Liam, looking down at his lap with a slight blush. "So he asked us to get out of the house. We moved into a nearby house though." 

Adrianna laughed loudly. 

​​

Professor Ziu came into the classroom and jokingly asked, "May I hear the joke?" 

Liam rushed outside, not giving them a chance to ridicule him. 

For the next two hours, Adrianna struggled to learn how to deflect the truth spell. She had already learnt about the "Ponos" spell in the class. Most other students couldn't learn either of them so she was already ahead. Ziu had to leave for a meeting so he ended Adrianna's class early for the day. Adrianna returned to her class to join the rest of the students for the rest of the day. While Adrianna was taking notes, Nefasky watched her from a distance and smirked at her. Adrianna was like an eyesore to her. 

Suddenly, Adrianna's notebook started flying in the air. Adrianna looked up at her notebook which was being shredded into pieces in the air. All of the torn pieces dropped over her head, making others laugh at her. Adrianna got up from her place and looked at each of the students who were laughing. Then, she looked at their bags. A rustle could be heard and all the papers and notebooks from their bags flew out. 

All of them took out their wands out and pointed them at Adrianna. "Adrianna, don't even dare to tear up our books, or else it is going to end really bad for you!" warned Nefasky. 

Adrianna crossed her hands across her chest. With a snap of her fingers, the papers and notebooks started shredding into hundreds of pieces and Adrianna froze all of the students who had taken out their wands. Adrianna took out a new notebook and took her time writing her notes. All of the students who had not been caught in the freeze spell watched Adrianna with fear. Only one of them, Lile, couldn't hold her laughter and laughed so loud that her stomach hurt and she had to hold it. 

All those who had been frozen in their positions couldn't do anything no matter how hard they tried. They were forced to stay in their positions for almost half an hour and it was very tiring. 

Once Adrianna had finished writing her notes, she looked at Lile and smiled. She headed out of the class and snapped her fingers. All of the frozen ones fell on the ground with a loud thud. Some of them ran out of the class to find Adrianna and get their revenge, but she was nowhere to be seen. Instead, they only saw her carriage flying out of the academy and back to her palace. 

The day had not been stressful for Adrianna. With all her experiences, she learnt one thing – she was alone in the wizard kingdom. Other than Isidorus, who had the power and means to do so, none of her supporters would nor could outwardly show their support for her. But Isidorus was a busy wizard. Everyone was watching her. Her other supporters would come out once she became the queen or proved herself worthy to be a queen. Hence she had to take care of herself and not depend on others; she was not allowed to show herself as weak in any form. 

As her carriage was flying in the air, she looked outside and smiled at Fleur who was flying on her broom alongside the carriage as usual. All of a sudden, her carriage jolted and both she and Liam fell forward. 

"What happened?" shouted Fleur. 

"A parrot is down!" replied one of the wizards in the front. "Someone shot an arrow at it!" 

The other parrot tried hard to stay in air with carriage, but it was difficult to carry both the burden of the carriage and the weight of the other injured parrot. The carriage started losing height and started going down at a rapid speed. 

Adrianna was dazed. Liam somehow held the seat and pulled himself up. He managed to hold on to the window and then succeeded in getting up a little. Then, he leapt out of the carriage to hold on to the reins of the parrots. He cut the injured parrot loose and it started falling towards the ground. The other parrot managed to balance the carriage a little and slow down the fall, but since the carriage was spiraling down, it was not able to achieve proper flight. 

However, the other witches and wizards now had a chance and they managed to throw ropes around the carriage and keep it air borne with them pulling the ropes. 

The carriage touched the palace ground in some time and more than ten servants ran out of the palace to be on their queen's side. 

When Adrianna came out, she saw that, except Fleur, the entire security team had disappeared. 

Fleur rushed over to Adrianna's side. She saw that Adrianna's forehead had a sharp cut and was bleeding. 

Liam came forward. His face was etched with so much anger that his eyes were red. "Who had the audacity to attack the royal carriage? Is this how your wizard kingdom is? Absolutely no protection for the queen? What was the point of the ten of you flying around if none of you could see the arrow headed for the parrot? I want to know the culprit within the next hour!" he shouted, making all of the servants flinch.
