Chapter 144: The Council Meeting (2)

"We have always had these concerns Isidorus; that is why we have put forth so many pure bloods for the crown," said Mihr. "If you ask me, I don't think the crown will accept a half blood. Her mother was a wayward one. Otherwise, we would have gotten a pure bloodline." 

Adrianna had been listening in on the entire conversation. Even though she had never met her mother, she became furious when she heard the man slander her mother's name. "Before you all say anything, remember I have the best of both bloodlines running through my veins - making me twice as powerful! Do not speak ill of my mother!" 

"Oh really! This twit dares to challenge me now?" mocked Mihr. 

Adrianna looked at Mihr and found him extremely strange. Was he filled with jealousy or was he simply angry? "I have no interest in challenging anyone." 

"Of course you can't challenge wizards as experienced as us!" replied Mihr. 

Adrianna looked at Isidorus and then sighed.
