Ilsa sized up Adrianna, creating a line between her brows as she did so.

She said, "You are the most unique case I have ever come across."

​​

Then, she looked at Fleur and said, "You may not enter the gates of this academy from now on. You are to leave Adrianna here and go away. None of the queen's guards are allowed to enter."

"But the guards of the royals are allowed Madam," replied Fleur.

Ilsa narrowed her eyes. "That rule was changed a few days back!"

Fleur was shocked. Adrianna didn't know anything about magic. "What about her safety?" enquired Fleur. She had to mention this to Isidorus.

Ilsa said, "Are you accusing us of wishing to harm a royal on the academy's grounds?"

"I am not saying that-"

Ilsa cut Fleur off mid-sentence and said, "This has been approved by all of the council members if you are thinking of reporting this to Isidorus."

Fleur was surprised at the way Ilsa was acting, but she remained quiet.

Adrianna said, "That's fine. I don't need guards, but I want Liam to always be with me."

Ilsa said, "We are sorry, but no werewolves allowed. I don't know why have they allowed a person like you to enter the academy, but you are the daughter of the infamous Shira so we can't help it. Plus, it's the council's decision so we have to go with it."

Adrianna was very angry. She looked at Ilsa and said, "Kneel."

"What? How dare you!" Ilsa protested, but found herself kneeling. She wanted to get up but found that all her muscles were frozen.

"Liam will stay with me during my time at the wizard academy. If this is against the rules, make an amendment," ordered Adrianna in a chilly voice.

Ilsa wanted to protest vociferously, but she found herself complying. She got up, took out a paper from her drawer, and started writing a permission slip for Liam to enter the grounds and be with Adrianna as her guard at all the times. She handed the paper to Fleur. Even though Ilsa was aware that she was writing it, and she hated it, she felt as though her body was not under her own control.

As soon as the paper was given to Fleur, she was released from the force. Being a powerful witch, she had never been subjected to this kind of energy. It was nothing that she knew of. Ilsa looked at Adrianna with wide eyes and said, "Did you just used a spell on me?"

Adrianna shrugged her shoulders and said, "What spell? I came to this academy to learn about them…"

Ilsa cast a spell on Fleur to give the paper back, but nothing was working on Fleur. It was as though Fleur were standing inside an impenetrable field. Ilsa was shocked. Within the academy, she was the queen. Was this Isidorus' doing? She had to talk to the council members. When nothing worked, Ilsa walked over to Fleur to snatch the paper from her hand, but before she could grab it, she slipped on the wooden floor and fell badly.

"This is not allowed! You cannot have Liam here!" she shouted exasperatedly.

Fleur smiled and left the room. Adrianna asked Ilsa, "Where's my class?"

"Your class is in the left wing," instructed Ilsa.

As Adrianna walked to her class, her dress magically changed while walking. She was now wearing a white shirt with a black skirt under a black robe that hung to the middle of her calves. Adrianna chuckled when she saw the way she was dressed. She so wished that Dmitri could see her in her preppy wizard academy uniform. It would have been hilarious to hear all of his remarks.

Ilsa was Lia's best friend. As soon as they had heard of Adrianna's return, the two of them had planned on admitting her to the academy. Lia had actually planted this idea in the heads of the council members. She was extremely certain that most would agree as they were all greedily eyeing the crown. Along with Ilsa, she had planned something even more sinister.

Adrianna walked through the hallways that led to her class. Although she didn't know which room was her class, the hallways guided her; the only route she could go through led to her class. It was a new experience and she was beginning to like it. Some students who passed by her greeted her. It seemed as though they all knew about her. She was slightly embarrassed by the fact that her reputation was so widespread.

She reached her class within a few minutes. She thought that she was on time because the professor hadn't arrived. The class was full and as soon as she entered, all of them looked at her. Adrianna found herself being silently scrutinized by everyone present. The class consisted of boys and girls younger than her by a year or two. None of them greeted her. Adrianna lowered her head and went to sit on a vacant chair in the right corner of the lecture hall.
