57 Chapter 34

The King studying Alina said"I thought she'd be taller."The annoying one was unsurprisingly the Queen,who spoke up"I thought she was Shu.Well, I guess she's Shu enough."

The Queen then looked at one of servants and said"Tell her… Oh, I don't know… good morning."

Alina was really annoyed replied "I don't actually speak Shu, Your Highness."

Queen was slightly annoyed by the attitude and asked"Then what are you?"

Hadrian was annoyed,but was careful not to show it,while Kirigan with fake smile replied "She is Alina Starkov…she is a Sun Summoner like Hadrian Black, moya tsaritsa.She will help us destroy thr fold faster in the future."

King nodded and commanded"Then show me."

General Kirigan looked at Hadrian,who nodded.

While Alina was really nervous as her stomach clenched.She looked at Hadrisn who nodded at her .Kirigan spread his arms wide. A tense silence descended as his hands filled with dark, swirling ribbons of blackness that bled into the air. He brought his hands together with a resounding crack. Nervous cries burst from the crowd as darkness blanketed the room. This time,Alina was better prepared for the dark.

The Darkness engulfed everything, but it was still frightening. Instinctively,Alina reached forward, searching for something to hold on to.Alina hand caught Hadrian's arm and her bare hand slid into Hadrian hand.

Alina now hada mixture of panic and relief,she then felt something rising up inside me. This time, she didn't try to fight it.As Light flooded the throne room, drenching everyone with warmth and shattering the darkness like black glass. The court erupted into applause. The people were happy and hugging one another. A woman fainted.

The King was clapping the loudest, rising from his throne and applauding furiously, his expression exultant.

The Hadrian let go of Alina's hand and the light faded.As the King shouted"Bravo..Bravo."

Then with seriousness added"How long will you need?....After all you now have a second sun Summoner."

General Kirigan really hated this idiot,but keeping the fake smile replied"Destroying the Fold will be no easy feat.Even Hadrian who is once a lifetime genius in mastering his abilities was able to push the fold by 3 marks now.So she has nor been trained and won't be able to do it.So she will have remain at the Little Palace to train… undisturbed.

Then train her quickly."

The King was not fully pleased,but Hadrian cast compulsion charm to make sure he didn't do anything stupid,so the King nodded and said"Our wars have been a noble pursuit, but this chatter from the West about becoming a sovereign nation, that needs to stop.The sooner we are one country again, the better."

General Kirigan with bow said"I agree… moi tsar."

Hadrian whispered to Alina"You were perfect."Alina gave small smile,she wasn't sure if she even did anything replied" I don't know where it came from."

Hadrian smiled and replied"It is your power and it came because you called upon it to come.It will take time for you to tap into it since you suppressed it for so long."

Alina looked slightly guilty as that,she didn't know the consequences of what she was doing at that time.

Soon the court was clamoring to meet her and even the King was smiling and talking to her.

Alina remembered what Genya had said about the King's attention and felt her skin crawl, but she didn't dare pull my hand away. Soon, though, he had relinquished me and was clapping Hadrian and Kirigan on the back.

While Grisha of all Corps joined shaking Alina's hand,while Zoya was not too fond of Alina because of her previous whiny behavior,just gave nod and moved next to Hadrian,who was discussing with Kirigan about there next step.While both of them did say Alina was going to be in Little Palace.But the truth is she will be going to Peverell City to be safe.
