My Best Friend Stole My Royal Boyfriend

Chapter 24

Everyone was accounted for; I checked myself, no one was left out.

“Who did not take part?” Miss Phillis asks.

His eyes suddenly connect with mine, and I hold my breath.

My lips part when he begins to walk towards me. I look around me to see who he could

possibly be approaching, but to my surprise, there is no one here that hasn’t been tested except me, of course. But Miss Phillis did say that it wouldn’t make sense for me to participate

in the festival. I also don’t expect Adam to suggest for me to be tested. I must be missing something; he can’t be coming towards me.

Needless to say, I’m in shock when he stops in front of me; the surprise is still there when he places his hand out to me, “come with me… Amiera.”

I swallow. Did he purposely say my name? He knows now that it makes me happy when he says it. I stare at his hand, I don’t know how to explain it, but somehow, I know that I must hold onto it. I gently place my hand in his, and he grips it in a tight hold. Adam walks with me towards our professors with his head held high; there was this determined look on his face

that I hadn’t seen before. Why did it seem like he knew what was about to happen?

“Amiera is the only student that does not know how to create fire; how can we even consider her for this test?” Sir Williams asks.

“Everyone of age that belongs to the fire whisperers must be tested; those are your exact words. Are they not?” Adam demands, his eyes cool but blazing at the same time. How was

that even possible?

“Y–yes but,”

“But, nothing.” He growls. “It’s your own rules, and you will be breaking it if she isn’t given a chance to be tested. There is not a single rule that goes against her taking part today. It’s only fair that she gets this chance; none of you have nothing to lose from letting her at least try.”

The professors each give each other skeptical looks. They know that Adam was right;

there is no rule against me taking part today. They would, in fact, be breaking the rules by not

letting me participate. Adam takes their silence as a win in this battle, or maybe he doesn’t
