Dmitri looked at his wife feeling as though he was in a Catch 22 situation. He couldn't tell her no, nor could he agree with her. He was too concerned. Before he could say anything more, Adrianna kept a finger on his lips and said, "Let's first confirm our doubts. Let's go to the human realm and see whether I am pregnant or not. Okay? Until then just stay calm." Dmitri sighed and nodded.

There was a knock on the door. "What is it?" asked Dmitri in a stern voice.

​​

"There is a breach on the northern walls my Queen," informed the servant.

Adrianna clenched her jaws. How could there be a breach on the northern side. Cy and his fellow wizard were on the southwest side. As far as Vikra was concerned, he couldn't go to the northern side because there was heavy snow on that side and he wouldn't take chances of attacking from that side considering that the neotides were not very good in that terrain. So who could that be?

She went out of Dmitri's lap and started getting ready. "Where are you going Adri?" he asked becoming afraid of the future. "I will come with you."

"I am going to look at the northern side of the wall. There is no way that Vikra would come there. So this could be something internal only and if this from within then I would like to catch my enemy soon."

"Hmm… It is possible that what you are thinking of as a breach could be something different – you know things that happen in the local kingdom, something like robbery…"

"Could be possible and I hope that is it… anyway, I will just go and take my chances," she replied fully dressed now. She was wearing black leather pants and black jacket.

When Dmitri saw her, he felt that she wasn't sufficiently dressed for the chill outside, so he took his fur from the chair that he had thrown and covered her with it. She smiled and snuggled into it as he tied it in the front around her chest. "Thank you," she said warmly.

"Let us go now."

She went out and this time she didn't wait for the carriage. She just took her broom and flew to the place as told by the servant. Her army followed her as usual. When she arrived, she saw that Mihr was already there. She alighted her broom while Dmitri kept sitting on it. "What is it Mihr?" she asked. "Tell me the gravity of the situation."

"The wall was tried to be broken but the interesting part is that it wasn't tried to be breached from the outside but from the inside," he replied as he showed her the patch that was marked by the army.

Adrianna looked around to see if there was any more chaos but there was none to be seen. "Did you go and check outside the wall?"

"Yes, we went outside but there is no one," he replied looking confused. "This means that we have someone that is helping them from the inside. He or she must be trying to break the wall and then he would have called them as soon as the wall was breached, but that person was alerted when they thought that the army had come to know about it and ran away."

Adrianna shook her head and said, "Repair the wall now. This was nothing but a diversion! There is definitely someone on the inside. I want you to find that person as soon as possible but for now remove all your army from here and position them back on the south-west wall." Adrianna held her hand high and the broom came to her. She alighted the broom. "Cy is very close to breaking the wall. Put all your army there now. I want all the Mozia also over there now!"

She said that and flew along with Dmitri to the place where she knew another intense battle was about to follow. She reached there in less than five minutes. All the while she was flying she was forming a strategy and also wondering what would be the best way to prevent her people from getting massacred in this battle. At one point of time, Dmitri said, "Don't even think that!" She didn't reply.

When she reached there, she found Isidorus creating spell upon spell inside the wall but he was no match to Cy. Adrianna took a deep breath and went to him. She kept a hand on his shoulders and said, "Relax."

Isidorus looked at her and said, "My Queen, I think it won't be long before he is going to break all the spells."

"I know that Isidorus," she replied and then she asked after a pause, "Doesn't Cy have just one hand?"

"Yes that is true. He has chopped his other hand because I had put a seal on his palm to track him down just like I have put it on many other wizards and witches in this kingdom."

"What are the other ways that wizards can create spells apart from using their wands?" she asked contemplating something.

"Hands play an integral part in creating the spells. If they don't have hands, they cannot create spells but they can use chants and eyes to create some spells. However those spells would be partially effective," he replied.

Adrianna narrowed his eyes. She looked at him and said, "I need ten Mozias with me now."

"What do you have in mind?" he asked.

"You are not going out of this wall!" shouted Dmitri as soon as he heard her. What the hell was she even thinking? Did she have no regard for her safety?

Adrianna stared at him. She communicated mentally. "Don't stop me Dmitri. This is extremely urgent! I need to do this now or else it would be too late."

He lashed at her, "Even the Mozia can do it. You are not required for this puny job!"

"No, they don't know how to do it while I have a plan in my head. They would need me for this plan and if the plan is carried out successfully, it would rattle Vikra," she replied. She was so determined that he knew that no point what he argued, she wouldn't listen to him.
