When Lile fell from the edge of the cliff, she thought she would die, but the vertical fall was in fact nothing but magic. She must have fallen no more than five feet in reality. She realized that she had lost the competition when she saw that she was in the center of the field in the middle of all terrains. She tried to climb back, but walls appeared everywhere preventing her to enter any terrain now. She started banging those walls shouting, "Let me in! The competition is not over!" but nothing happened. In the end, she sat down in the corner with her head low. Thinking about all the efforts she had taken to win and also how her family would treat her now, she started shivering out of fear. Suddenly she burst into crying loudly.

The ministry had taken notice of all the cheating she had done. When the people came to know about Zephyr as to how he had entered her cell, they had sent soldiers to capture him. Had it anyone else in the competition other than Adrianna, they would have never come to know of their sneaky ways. It was Adrianna who could throw him out of Lile's cell.

​​

When Adrianna was talking to Lile on the cliff's edge, she asked the Yeti to take her down knowing the fact that if she wouldn't leave the edge, the Yeti would eat her. That way Adrianna wouldn't be responsible for her death and that would mean that she hadn't broken the rules. She also knew that if Lile would leave the edge of the cliff, she would fall right in the center of the field because the ministry wouldn't let that happen. It was check and mate for Lile. Adrianna had played her game perfectly.

When she reached the center of field with Isidorus, the crowd went mad with cheer. They started shouting crazily. Isidorus removed the magic around the segment and it was the first time Adrianna listened to all of them. She saw Lile sitting in a corner, sobbing but didn't pay much attention. The soldiers came and took her away as she protested. The crowd was floating banners and exploding firecrackers in excitement. They were shouting "Queen!"

Dmitri, Ed, Cora, Howard, Liam and Fleur all stood up quietly. None of them had words to say. Dmitri could feel his chest expanding with pride. He looked at Adrianna and then at the crowd. His wife had defeated all odds despite being a new witch.

It was time for the victory march. This time, when Adrianna mounted the broom, Isidorus also mounted his to take her around the field. For him it was sort of a power march. He had to show them all that the wizard kingdom has got their queen, their ruler. The most interesting part was that even the ministry members followed Adrianna and Isidorus in the power march. When Adrianna looked back while flying on her broom, she looked back and noticed that so many ministry members were following them. She was astonished as a smile broke on her face. She was extremely tired and wanted to sleep, but this show was important.

Isidorus smiled at her when she looked back at the ministry members, "Let them come. They will come. Look forward to the public. You are their leader, and those behind you are your followers."

Adrianna took a deep breath. She had to undergo so much ever since she had stepped in the kingdom. There were so many attempts to murder her or deceit her and at so many points she wanted to give up. But everything had come to a stop now, or was it a beginning of another time…

The first thing she did was to look at her family. She wanted to go to them and turned her broom but Isidorus didn't let her go. He urged her to first take that victory march.

As Adrianna went around, the entire crowd became excited. They shouted and cheered her all along. All of them had stood up and clapped continuously. Their queen had come. They all wanted to see her sitting on the throne.

When Adrianna's victory march was over, and they reached the exit of the field, she found Mihr standing there along with Nefasky, whose head was still bandaged. She smiled at them and Mihr nodded.

All the ministry members who were against her had disappeared from there. They were all planning to leave the kingdom as soon as possible fearing that they might get caught. However, before anyone of them could even leave, they were put in house arrests. Lile's family was nowhere to be seen.

Zephyr was taken as a prisoner. He had protested a lot and even tried his magic, but eventually he was caught.

Isidorus left Adrianna saying, "We will crown you in two days. So sleep and rest as much as you want. After that you would hardly have time."

Adrianna pursed her lips and then pleaded. "I need a week's vacation. I have a lot of things planned with Dmitri in the werewolf realm."

"Adrianna, you should know that now your safety is our utmost concern and you have to become the queen. If it were me, I would have put the crown on your head today but there is a ceremony that has to be followed. We have to call people from various realms to witness the ceremony. It is going to be something, which will be very tiring for you. So rest in the palace and don't even think of going anywhere. None of your family can go until you are crowned."

Adrianna sulked. All her dreams were shattered. She wanted her alone time with Dmitri. With a sad face of a teenager, she left the academy in her carriage. Fleur and her team proudly flew on their brooms back. While flying back they noticed that many people in the third realm were also flying with them but they were far below. However, just for precaution, Fleur created a spell beneath the team to make an invisible wall between the queen and those flying below. When Adrianna looked down, she waved at them inviting cheers once again.

When the carriage stopped at home, Dmitri came running out. He picked his wife and twirled her round and round. "Congratulations wife!" he said with joy.

Cy had looked at the dot, which Reese had shown him just outside the wizard kingdom. That was the most vulnerable point. Vikra watched him from far. "What do you think Cy?"

"Let's attack from here," he replied looking intently at it.

Suddenly a messenger showed up. "Adrianna has won the competition!"
