Chapter 397 - Finishing The Book



There was a strange fear that filled her heart, something cold that couldn\'t describe. Her hand went to her tummy and she caressed the little one inside as though he wanted her to get out of this place as of now. "Don\'t be scared little one. Your mother is there. Sleep for a while…" 

Perhaps all those fears were emanating from the little heart that beat in her tummy… 

​​

She continued to read the book. Ziu was extremely handsome and the reason that floated around the Wizard Kingdom was that he was bogged down by witches all across the kingdom to marry him, so he had hidden himself in the ugly façade. However, the fact that he had come back to his original shape was because of another reason, which wasn\'t stated there. What was written was that he could charm anyone he wanted but he didn\'t feel anyone was close to his intelligence level until one day he had met a girl in the Wizard Kingdom. He had tried hard to seduce her and appeared in his original form but his charm didn\'t work on her. 

Adrianna\'s hand reached her mark on the neck that Dmitri had given her. She caressed it softly. That mark was her seal of protection, a seal of love that protected her heart from falling in love with anyone other than her fated mate. Suddenly, she felt that there were waves of cold water splashing around her, freezing her body. She could see the effect of that on her fingers, which had become white from cold. 

The fear.

The desolation.

Her mind was getting confused. Why was she getting those feelings? It was as if the book didn\'t want her to read it. She could hear the sound of hiss coming from inside. It was threatening her. 

She turned the page in order to change the topic of reading but on the next page there was a large serpent in the background of the text written. All of a sudden, she noticed that the serpent moved and it coiled its tail to sit on. It bared its fangs with a hiss sound. "Go away Adrianna," it seemed to whisper. "Otherwise I will drag you down the deepest depths of the ocean." 

She ignored that warning because the elves had asked her to continue reading the book no matter what else if she would stop in the middle she would carry the sadness in her heart forever. The book was a cursed one but by whom, she didn\'t know and didn\'t want to know. All she knew was that she had to complete it and leave that place. 

"Adrianna." Dmitri was calling her. He could feel the misery in her heart. "Where are you? Come back to me." 

She mentally communicated, "Stay there, Dmitri. I will come as soon as possible."

"Are you okay?" he asked with anguish in his communication. 

"I am not… but I can\'t come to you right now. Trust me, I will be back soon."

He quieted down. She continued to read. 

Ziu had many siblings and they all wanted him dead because he was ferocious. The main contender to the Kingdom of Serpents throne was the eldest one from his mother\'s sister. He was the real heir to the throne and had seen Ziu as a threat. He wanted him dead and had even attempted to kill him three times. 

Adrianna continued to read the book and check his history. One interesting thing that she came to know was that he had a sister from the second sister of his mother who was somewhere in the Human Realm and he was close to her. She was his ally of sorts and had shown her solidarity to him. 

If she was hunted, Adrianna could gain advantage. 

Taking down Ziu just like that wouldn\'t be easy because he would create havoc to not get caught. She had to trick him to come out of the Wizard Kingdom. Either she would send him back to his Kingdom or she would have to kill him. With the kind of intentions he had, the latter option was better. 

The book was finished in another half an hour. As she neared the end of the book, she realized that the miserable feeling that she was filled with had now dissipated. She closed the book and left the Document Records Section. The elves came to see her off. Before leaving she said, "You must come to the Royal Palace someday." 

"If we will come to the Royal Palace, our kind is going to kill us," said the taller elf. 

Adrianna was aghast. "Why is that?" 

"Because we have run away from our land and they are still hunting for us. It was the first Prince of the Wizard Kingdom who offered us refuge, and since then this has been our home. We stay under an invisibility spell. No one knows about you except for two people, the elf who trains the Mozias and you. The moment we will step out of the Ministry Block, the spell would wear off." 

These two were thousands of years old! "So how do you know so much about the Wizards that you are maintaining our records section?" asked a bewildered Adrianna. 

"We take the data from your DNA that is locked in the matrix here and then we have our ways of interpreting and finding out everything that is possible about you." 

Adrianna was really stunned at the vast knowledge of the elves. She couldn\'t even imagine all the information these had in their brains. She nodded and bowed to them. "Thank you," she had to say that. She left the section using the lift again. 

When she arrived, she found that Dmitri was pacing up and down the room. As soon as he saw her, he rushed to her and hugged her tightly. "You were giving me all sorts of heart attacks. Where were you that you experienced so much pain and fear? How is my baby? It is not right for you to put our child at this kind of psychological risk!" 

"I am sorry, but this was important," she replied as she hugged him back. "Let\'s go back to the Palace."
